1. Nature of Business, Interim Financial Data and Basis of Presentation:

Cumulus Media Inc. (and its consolidated subsidiaries, except as the context may otherwise require, “CUMULUS MEDIA,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation, organized in 2018, and successor to a Delaware corporation with the same name that had been organized in 2002.

Nature of Business

A leader in the radio broadcasting industry, CUMULUS MEDIA combines high-quality local programming with iconic, nationally syndicated media, sports and entertainment brands to deliver premium content choices to the 245 million people reached each week through its 441 owned-and-operated stations broadcasting in 90 U.S. media markets (including eight of the top 10), approximately 8,000 broadcast radio stations affiliated with its Westwood One network and numerous digital channels. Together, the Cumulus Radio Station Group and Westwood One platforms make CUMULUS MEDIA one of the few media companies that can provide advertisers with national reach and local impact. The Cumulus Radio Station Group and Westwood One are the exclusive radio broadcast partners to some of the largest brands in sports, entertainment, news, and talk, including the NFL, the NCAA, the Masters, the Olympics, the GRAMMYs, the Academy of Country Music Awards, the American Music Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, and more. Additionally, the Company is the nation's leading provider of country music and lifestyle content through its NASH brand, which serves country fans nationwide through radio programming, exclusive digital content, and live events.

Basis of Presentation

As previously disclosed, on November 29, 2017 (the “Petition Date”), CM Wind Down Topco Inc. (formerly known as Cumulus Media Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Old Cumulus”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Bankruptcy Petitions”) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (the "Chapter 11 Cases") were jointly administered under the caption In re Cumulus Media Inc., et al, Case No. 17-13381. On May 10, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order Confirming the Debtors’ First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization [Docket No. 769] (the “Confirmation Order”), which confirmed the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Cumulus Media Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code [Docket No. 446] (the “Plan”), as modified by the Confirmation Order. On June 4, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), Old Cumulus satisfied the conditions to effectiveness set forth in the Confirmation Order and in the Plan, the Plan was substantially consummated, and Old Cumulus and the other Debtors emerged from Chapter 11. On June 29, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order closing the Chapter 11 Cases of all of the Debtors other than Old Cumulus, whose case will remain open for purposes of fully administering its estate, including reconciling claims subject to compromise under the Plan. Although Old Cumulus emerged from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date, the Old Cumulus Chapter 11 Case will remain open until its estate has been fully administered and the Bankruptcy Court enters an order closing its case.

In connection with its emergence, Old Cumulus implemented a series of internal reorganization transactions authorized by the Plan pursuant to which it transferred substantially all of its remaining assets to an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of reorganized Cumulus Media Inc. (formerly known as CM Emergence Newco Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“CUMULUS MEDIA” or the “Company”), prior to winding down its business. References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relate to the balance sheet and results of operations of CUMULUS MEDIA on and subsequent to June 4, 2018. References to “Predecessor”, “Predecessor Company” or “Old Cumulus” refer to the balance sheet and results of operations of Old Cumulus prior to June 4, 2018.

Upon emergence from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date, the Company has applied Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852 - Reorganizations (“ASC 852”) in preparing its consolidated financial statements (see Note 2, “Emergence from Chapter 11” and Note 3 “Fresh Start Accounting”). As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan, a new entity for financial reporting purposes was created, and as such the consolidated financial statements on and after June 4, 2018 are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements prior to that date. Refer to Note 3, “Fresh Start Accounting” for additional information.

Subsequent to the Petition Date and before the Effective Date, all expenses, gains and losses directly associated with the reorganization proceedings are reported as Reorganization items, net, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, liabilities subject to compromise during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases are distinguished from liabilities of the Company that are not expected to be compromised, including post-petition liabilities, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

9

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Interim Financial Data

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, other than bankruptcy related adjustments as described in Note 3, "Fresh Start Accounting", consist of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations for, and financial condition as of the end of, the interim periods have been made. The results of operations and cash flows of the Successor for the period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018 and of the Predecessor for the period from April 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018 and the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows that can be expected for, or the Company’s financial condition that can be expected as of the end of, any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with CUMULUS MEDIA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Going Concern

In accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), and ASC 205-40, the Company has the responsibility to evaluate at each reporting period, including interim periods, whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations. In its evaluation for this report, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and the Company’s conditional and unconditional obligations due within one year following the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern was contingent upon a variety of factors, including the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Plan and the Company’s ability to successfully implement the Plan. As a result of the effectiveness of the Plan, the Company believes it has the ability to meet its obligations for at least one year from the date of issuance of this Form 10-Q.

Assets Held for Sale

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain land in the Company's Washington, DC market to a third party. The closing of the transaction is subject to various conditions and approvals which remain pending. The asset was classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2017, the sale of this asset was subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, and consequently, the asset no longer met the definition of held for sale and was classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as Property and Equipment, net. As a result of the Company's emergence from Chapter 11, as of June 30, 2018, the asset again met the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

Recent Accounting Standards Updates

ASU 2016-02 - Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, which provides updated guidance for the accounting for leases. This update requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases with a term longer than one year. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, thereby impacting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and plans to adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2019.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

ASU 2014-09 and related updates - Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09") or ("ASC 606"). On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services and satisfaction of performance obligations to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applied the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards. There was not a material impact to revenues as a result of the recognition of revenue in accordance with ASC 606 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and there have not been significant changes to the Company's business processes, systems, or internal controls as a result of implementing the standard. See Note 4, "Revenues" for further details.

ASU 2016-01 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"). In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 which enhances the reporting model for financial instruments including aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. This ASU revises the accounting requirements related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. This ASU also changes certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. These changes require an entity to measure, at fair value, investments in equity securities and other ownership interests in an entity - including investments in partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and limited liability companies that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method - and recognize the changes in fair value within net income. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2018-03") which provides an option for a company to "un-elect" the measurement alternative and elect to account for the investment at fair value through current earnings for certain equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. However, once a company makes this election for a particular investment, it must apply the fair value through current earnings model to all identical investments and/or similar investments from the same issuer. Further, a company cannot elect the measurement alternative for future purchases of identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. The Company un-elected the measurement alternative and will continue to value joint venture investments at fair value through current earnings. As such, there was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2016-15 - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"). In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 which provides guidance for several new and/or revised disclosures pertaining to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows, including contingent consideration payments made after a business acquisition. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 as of January 1, 2018 and there was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2016-18 - Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"). In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 which provides guidance for the accounting for the disclosure of restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 as of January 1, 2018. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018, restricted cash balances were included along with cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the period and beginning of the period, respectively, in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows for all periods presented. Additionally, separate line items showing changes in restricted cash balances have been eliminated from the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

ASU 2017-01 - Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis and there was no material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2017-09 - Scope of Modification Accounting ("ASU 2017-09"). In May 2017, the FASB issued an update to guidance on Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based award must be accounted for as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award, as equity or liability, changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 as of January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis and there was no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

2. Emergence from Chapter 11

On May 10, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order confirming the Plan. On the Effective Date, the Plan became effective and the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11.

Plan of Reorganization

A plan of reorganization determines the rights and satisfaction of claims of various creditors and security holders, but the ultimate settlement of certain claims is subject to the uncertain outcome of any litigation, negotiations and bankruptcy court decisions for a period of time after a plan of reorganization is confirmed.

3. Fresh Start Accounting

In connection with the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date, the Company qualified for fresh start accounting under ASC 852 as (i) the holders of voting shares of the Predecessor Company received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Successor Company and (ii) the reorganization value of the Company’s assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. ASC 852 requires that fresh start accounting be applied when the Bankruptcy Court enters a confirmation order confirming a plan of reorganization, or as of a later date when all material conditions precedent to the effectiveness of a plan of reorganization are resolved, which for CUMULUS MEDIA was June 4, 2018. The Company has applied fresh start accounting as of the Effective Date.

Upon the application of fresh start accounting, CUMULUS MEDIA allocated the reorganization value to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values in conformity with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company’s assets before considering liabilities. Liabilities existing as of the Effective Date, other than deferred taxes, were recorded at the present value of amounts expected to be paid using appropriate risk adjusted interest rates. Deferred taxes were determined in conformity with applicable accounting standards. Predecessor Company accumulated depreciation, accumulated amortization, and accumulated deficit were eliminated. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan, the Company’s consolidated financial statements after June 3, 2018 are not comparable to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of or prior to that date.

Reorganization Value

As set forth in the Plan, the enterprise value of the Successor Company was estimated to be between $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion. Based on the estimates and assumptions discussed below, CUMULUS MEDIA estimated the enterprise value to be $1.675 billion, which was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

Management estimated the enterprise value of the Successor Company utilizing the guideline public company method and discounted cash flow method (“DCF”). The use of each approach provides corroboration for the other approach. To estimate enterprise value utilizing the guideline public company method, management applied valuation multiples, derived from the operating data of publicly-traded benchmark companies, to the same operating data of CUMULUS MEDIA. The guideline public company analysis identified a group of comparable companies giving consideration to lines of business and markets served, size and geography. The valuation multiples were derived based on projected financial measures of revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and applied to projected operating data of CUMULUS MEDIA.

To estimate enterprise value utilizing the discounted cash flow method, management established an estimate of future cash flows for the period 2018 to 2024 with a terminal value and discounted the estimated future cash flows to present value. The expected cash flows for the period 2018 to 2024 with a terminal value were based upon certain financial projections and assumptions provided to the Bankruptcy Court. The expected cash flows for the period 2018 to 2024 were derived from earnings forecasts and assumptions regarding growth and margin projections, as applicable. A terminal value was included, calculated using the constant growth method, based on the cash flows of the final year of the forecast period.

The Company’s enterprise value represents the fair value of its interest-bearing debt and equity capital, while the reorganization value is derived from the enterprise value by adding back non-interest-bearing liabilities. The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the estimated reorganization value as of the Effective Date (dollars in thousands):

Enterprise value	$	1,675,000
Less: Cash balance difference (1)	(20,000		)
Less: Effect of deferred tax liability (2)	(30,000		)
Plus: Fair value of non-debt current liabilities	114,573
Plus: Fair value of non-debt long term liabilities	63,921
Reorganization value	$	1,803,494

(1) Difference in the estimated cash balance in the reorganization value versus the actual cash on hand as of June 3, 2018.

(2) Difference in the assumed effect of deferred taxes in the reorganization value versus the actual deferred taxes as of June 3, 2018.

Less: accumulated depreciation		—		(320,477		)
Property and equipment, net		$	315,306	$	193,574

To estimate the fair value of personal property such as broadcasting and other equipment, the Company utilized a combination of the cost approach and market approach. The Company recognized the contributory value associated with the necessary installation, engineering, and set-up costs related to the installed component of equipment by using the cost approach. The market approach was used for assets where a viable, transparent secondary market existed, such as motor vehicle assets.

To estimate the fair value of real property, the Company considered the cost approach and sales comparison approach. Buildings were primarily valued using the cost approach, under which the Company developed a replacement cost new for the improvements and applied deductions for physical depreciation based on the age of the assets. Land was valued under the sales comparison approach, whereby the Company researched transactions involving comparable parcels to provide an indication of the fair value of the various subject parcels.

13. The Company recorded an adjustment to intangible assets of $147.9 million as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Successor Company		Predecessor Company		Difference
Broadcast licenses	$	918,500	$	1,203,809	$	(285,309	)
Other intangible assets	212,458		75,056		137,402
	$	1,130,958	$	1,278,865	$	(147,907	)

The fair values of broadcasting licenses and other intangible assets were determined as follows:

a. Broadcast licenses ($918.5 million as of June 4, 2018): The fair value of broadcast licenses was determined using the Greenfield approach, a derivation of the income approach that isolates the income that is properly attributable to the license alone. It is based upon modeling a hypothetical “Greenfield” build-up to a normalized enterprise that, by design, lacks inherent goodwill and has other assets that have essentially been paid for or added as part of the build-up process.

b. Other intangible assets ($212.5 million as of June 4, 2018):

i. Broadcasting, affiliate and producer relationships ($162.0 million as of June 4, 2018): The customer relationship intangibles including broadcasting and affiliate and producer relationships were valued utilizing the excess earning method, a derivation of the income approach that considers cash flows related to the customers after accounting for a fair return to the other supporting assets of the business.

ii. Trademarks and trade names ($21.2 million as of June 4, 2018): In estimating the fair value of trademarks and trade names, management used the relief from royalty method, a derivation of the income approach, for analyzing the trade names.

18

iii. Tower income contracts ($15.1 million as of June 4, 2018): The fair value of these were determined utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis.

iv. Advertiser backlog ($12.0 million as of June 4, 2018): The fair value of advertiser backlog was analyzed using the multi-period excess earning method. Estimated duration of advertiser backlog as of the Effective Date was used as a point of recognition for net sales attributable to that backlog.

v. Leasehold intangible asset, net ($2.2 million as of June 4, 2018): The fair value of leasehold interests was determined utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis, wherein leases for real property were assessed for favorable or unfavorable contract rental rates.

14. Reflects the elimination of the Predecessor goodwill balance of $135.2 million.

15. Reflects the elimination of the carrying value of short-term deferred rent to adjust accounts payable and accrued expenses to estimated fair value.

16. Represents the fair value adjustment of the Term Loan including the elimination of debt issuance costs of $18.0 million incurred prior to and upon emergence from bankruptcy. The fair value of debt is comprised of $13.0 million of short-term debt and $1,287.0 million of long-term debt.

4. Revenues

Adoption of ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company's historic accounting under ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition ("ASC 605").

Revenue Recognition

Under current and prior revenue guidance, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The following table presents revenues disaggregated by revenue source (dollars in thousands):

21

Advertising Revenues

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are from advertising, primarily generated through the sale of broadcast radio advertising time, sale of advertising and promotional opportunities across digital audio networks to local, regional, and national advertisers and remote/event revenue. The Company considers each advertising element a separate contract, and thus a separate performance obligation, as a result of both the customer’s and the Cumulus Radio Station Group or Westwood One’s respective ability to stop transferring promised goods or services during the contract term without notice or penalty. Thus, revenue associated with these contracts is recognized at the time advertising or other services, for example hosting an event, is delivered.

In assessing performance obligations at the Radio Station Group, each advertisement, banner, etc. is considered to be a separate contract and thus a separate performance obligation. In assessing performance obligations at Westwood One, each element of a campaign is considered to be a separate contract and thus a separate performance obligation.

    The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of customer and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. There are no further obligations for returns, refunds or similar obligations related to the contracts. The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable.

Non-Advertising Revenues

Non-advertising revenue does not constitute a material portion of the Company’s revenue and primarily consists of licensing content and tower rental agreements, and to a lesser degree, sublease income, and satellite rental income. Rental agreements typically range from one to five years with renewal clauses. Such agreements typically contain a stated recurring monthly amount due, which is recognized upon delivery of services or passage of time. These agreements contain a single performance obligation.

Trade and Barter Transactions

The Company provides advertising time in exchange for goods or services such as products, supplies, or services. Trade revenue totaled $3.3 million, $7.7 million and $19.0 million for the period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018, April 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018 and for the period from January 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018. Trade revenue of approximately $8.9 million and $20.3 million was recognized for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

Programming barter revenue is derived from an exchange of programming content, to be broadcast on the Company’s airwaves, for commercial inventory, usually in the form of commercial placements inside of the show exchanged. The revenue is recognized as the commercial spots are aired, in the same pattern as the Company’s normal cash spot revenue is recognized. Trade and barter value is based upon management’s estimate of the fair value of the products, supplies or services received.

Variable Consideration

Certain customers may receive cash-based incentives or credits, which are accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduces revenue recognized accordingly. The Company has not had, nor does it believe that there will be, significant changes to its estimates of variable consideration. In addition, variable consideration has not historically been material to the Company’s financial statements.

Customer Options that Provide a Material Right

ASC 606 requires the allocation of a portion of a transaction price of a contract to additional goods or services transferred to a customer that are considered to be a separate performance obligation and provide a material right to the customer.

To satisfy the requirement of accounting for the material right, the Company considers both the transaction price associated with each spot as well as the timing of revenue recognition for the spots. Campaigns often include bonus spots, which are radio advertising spots, free of charge, explicitly within the contract terms or implicitly agreed upon with the customer consistent with industry standard practices. The Company typically runs these bonus spots related to a particular campaign concurrently with the paid spots from the same campaign. As the delivery and revenue recognition for both paid and bonus spots generally occur within the same period, the time of delivery and recognition of revenue is insignificant.

22

Principal versus Agent Considerations

In those instances in which the Company functions as the principal in the transaction, the revenue and associated operating costs are presented on a gross basis. In those instances where the Company functions solely as an agent or sales representative, the Company’s effective commission is presented as revenue on a net basis with no corresponding operating expenses.

The Company evaluated all revenue streams and contracts to which principal versus agent considerations applied. Using guidance from ASC 606, the Company determined that broadcast advertising revenue at both the Cumulus Radio Station Group and Westwood One should be recorded net of agency commissions and should be recognized when the programs and commercial announcements are broadcast.

Additionally, Westwood One maintains revenue sharing agreements and inventory representation agreements with various radio companies. For all revenue sharing and inventory representation agreements, the Company performs an analysis in accordance with ASC 606 to determine if the amounts should be recorded on a gross or net basis. Consistent with the prior revenue recognition guidance, Westwood One continues to record all revenue sharing agreements on a gross basis with the shared revenue amount recorded within Content costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and inventory representation agreements on a net basis.

Practical Expedients

The Company applied the completed contract practical expedient guidance under ASC 606 to contracts that were not considered completed as of January 1, 2018.

The Company capitalizes certain incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers which it expects to recover.

For contracts with a client whose customer life covers a year or less, companies may use a practical expedient that allows the option to expense commissions as they are incurred. For contracts where the new and renewal commission rates are commensurate, the amortization period assessed by management was the contract life. As such, the Company will continue to expense commissions as incurred for the revenue streams where the new and renewal commission rates are commensurate and the contract life is less than one year. These costs are recorded within Sales, General and Administrative expense. The Company does not apply the practical expedient option to new local direct contracts, as the commission rates for new and renewal contracts is not commensurate and the customer life is typically in excess of one year. As of June 30, 2018, the Company recorded an asset of approximately $3.5 million related to the unamortized portion of commission expense on new local direct revenue. Under ASC 605, commission expense on new local direct revenue would have been expensed as incurred.

Under certain practical expedients elected, the Company did not disclose the amount of consideration allocated to the remaining performance obligations or an explanation of when the Company expects to recognize that amount as revenue for reporting periods presented before January 1, 2018.

Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under the amended accounting guidance, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting guidance.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient which allows it to not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. The Company has contracts with customers which the Company believes will produce revenue beyond one year. From these contracts, the Company estimates it will recognize approximately $6.2 million of revenue in 2019.

5. Restricted Cash

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included approximately$29.2 million and $9.0 million, respectively, in restricted cash. Restricted cash is used primarily for collateralizing standby letters of credit for certain leases and insurance policies, securing certain transactions as dictated by the financial institutions used by the Company and reserving for professional fees related to the Company’s Chapter 11 Cases.

Prior to the application of fresh start accounting, goodwill represented the excess of the amount paid to acquire businesses over the fair value of their net assets at the date of the acquisition. The Company eliminated goodwill upon application of fresh start accounting (see Note 3, “Fresh Start Accounting”).

Intangible Assets

In connection with the Company’s adoption of fresh start accounting on the Effective Date, intangible assets and related accumulated amortization of the Predecessor Company were eliminated. Intangible assets of the Successor Company were identified and valued at their fair value, as determined by valuation specialists. The Company’s intangible assets are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Intangible Assets:	FCC Licenses			Definite-Lived			Total
Balance as of January 1, 2018 (Predecessor Company)	$	1,203,809		$	82,994		$	1,286,803

Balance as of June 30, 2018 (Successor Company)	$	935,976		$	209,765		$	1,145,741

As part of fresh start accounting, the Company removed existing intangibles and accumulated amortization and recorded an adjustment of $147.9 million to reflect the fair value of intangibles. (See Note 3, “Fresh Start Accounting").

The Company performs impairment testing of its Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) licenses and goodwill annually as of December 31 of each year and on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that FCC licenses or goodwill may be impaired. The Company reviews the carrying value of its definite-lived intangible assets, primarily broadcast advertising and affiliate relationships for recoverability prior to its annual impairment test of goodwill and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Events and circumstances did not necessitate any interim impairment tests during the period ended June 30, 2018, nor did the Company have goodwill as of the period ended June 30, 2018.

25

8. Long-Term Debt

The Company’s long-term debt consisted of the following as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

	Successor Company		Predecessor Company
	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Predecessor Term Loan	$	—	$	1,722,209
7.75% Senior Notes:	—		610,000
Long-term debt, net subject to compromise	$	—	$	2,332,209

Term Loan	$	1,300,000	$	—
Less: Current portion	13,000		—
Long-term debt, net	$	1,287,000	$	—

In connection with the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions, all amounts outstanding under the Predecessor Term Loan and the 7.75% Senior Notes had been reclassified to Liabilities subject to compromise in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017.

Credit Agreement

On the Effective Date, Cumulus Media New Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”) and an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries, entered into the Credit Agreement with the holders of claims with respect to the Predecessor Term Loan under the Canceled Credit Agreement, as term loan lenders. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders party thereto were deemed to have provided Holdings and its subsidiaries that are party thereto as co-borrowers with a $1.3 billion senior secured Term Loan.

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Alternative Base Rate (as defined below) plus an applicable margin of 3.50%, subject to an Alternative Base Rate floor of 2.00%, or (ii) the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 4.50%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. The Alternative Base Rate is defined, for any day, as the per annum rate equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the rate identified as the “Prime Rate” and normally published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. At June 30, 2018, the Term Loan bore interest at 6.6% per annum.

Amounts outstanding under the Term Loan amortize in equal quarterly installments of 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan with the balance payable on the maturity date. The maturity date of the Term Loan is May 15, 2022.

The Credit Agreement contains representations, covenants and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this nature. Events of default in the Credit Agreement include, among others: (a) the failure to pay when due the obligations owing thereunder; (b) the failure to perform (and not timely remedy, if applicable) certain covenants; (c) certain defaults and accelerations under other indebtedness; (d) the occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency events; (e) certain judgments against Holdings or any of its subsidiaries; (f) the loss, revocation or suspension of, or any material impairment in the ability to use, any one or more of, any material FCC licenses; (g) any representation or warranty made, or report, certificate or financial statement delivered, to the lenders subsequently proven to have been incorrect in any material respect; and (h) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Agent may, with the consent of, or upon the request of, the required lenders, accelerate the Term Loan and exercise any of its rights as a secured party under the Credit Agreement and the ancillary loan documents provided, that in the case of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events with respect to a borrower, the Term Loan will automatically accelerate.

The Credit Agreement does not contain any financial maintenance covenants. The Credit Agreement provides that Holdings will be permitted to enter into either a revolving credit facility or receivables facility providing commitments of up to $50.0 million, subject to certain conditions. For additional information see Note 16, “Subsequent Event."

26

The borrowers may elect, at their option, to prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement without premium or penalty (except that any prepayment during the period of six months following the closing of the Credit Agreement would require a premium equal to 1.00% of the prepaid principal amount). The borrowers may be required to make mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan upon the occurrence of specified events as set forth in the Credit Agreement, including upon the sale of certain assets and from Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Cumulus Media Intermediate Inc. (“Intermediate Holdings”), which is a subsidiary of the Company, and the present and future wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdings that are not borrowers thereunder, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Credit Agreement (the “Guarantors”) and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of Holdings, the subsidiaries of Holdings party to the Credit Agreement as borrowers, and the Guarantors.

For additional information on our liquidity considerations, see "Emergence from Chapter 11; Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations" in Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Canceled Credit Agreement

The Canceled Credit Agreement consisted of a term loan with a stated maturity date in December 2020. At December 31, 2017, there was $1.7 billion outstanding under the Predecessor Term Loan.

Amounts outstanding under the Predecessor Term Loan amortized at a rate of 1.0% per annum of the original principal amount of the Predecessor Term Loan, payable quarterly, with the balance payable on the maturity date. Borrowings under the Predecessor Term Loan bore interest based on the Base Rate (as defined below) or LIBOR, plus 3.25% on LIBOR-based borrowings and 2.25% on Base Rate-based borrowings. LIBOR-based borrowings are subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.0%. Base Rate-based borrowings were subject to a Base Rate floor of 2.0%. Base Rate was defined, for any day, as the rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime commercial lending rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as established from time to time, and (iii) 30 day LIBOR plus 1.0%.

As a result of the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions, Old Cumulus was required to make adequate protection payments on the Predecessor Term Loan. The amounts of these payments were calculated under the same terms as the interest and at the rates described above. During the pendency of Bankruptcy Petitions, ASC 852 required Old Cumulus to recognize the adequate protection payments as reductions in the principal balance of the Predecessor Term Loan. As a result, Old Cumulus applied adequate protection payments of approximately $37.8 million to the principal balance of the Predecessor Term Loan for the period from January 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018, which in turn, caused interest expense to be lower by approximately $37.1 million than it would have been absent the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions.

On the Effective Date, the Predecessor Term Loan was canceled and all liabilities thereunder were discharged.

7.75% Senior Notes

On May 13, 2011, Old Cumulus issued the 7.75% Senior Notes. On September 16, 2011, Old Cumulus and one of its subsidiaries entered into a supplemental indenture with the trustee under the indenture governing the 7.75% Senior Notes which provided for, among other things, the (i) assumption by such subsidiary of all obligations of Old Cumulus related to the 7.75% Senior Notes; (ii) substitution of that subsidiary for Old Cumulus as issuer; (iii) release of Old Cumulus from all obligations as original issuer; and (iv) guarantee by Old Cumulus of all of the subsidiary issuer's obligations, in each case under the indenture and the 7.75% Senior Notes.

Interest on the 7.75% Senior Notes was payable on each May 1 and November 1 of each year. The 7.75% Senior Notes were scheduled to mature on May 1, 2019. While under bankruptcy protection, Old Cumulus did not make interest payments or recognize interest expense on the 7.75% Senior Notes. As a result, Old Cumulus's interest expense for the period from January 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018, was approximately $22.1 million lower than it would have been absent the filing of the voluntary petitions for reorganization.

On the Effective Date, the 7.75% Senior Notes were canceled and all liabilities thereunder were discharged.

9. Fair Value Measurements

The following table shows the gross amount and fair value of the Term Loan, the Predecessor Term Loan and 7.75% Senior Notes (dollars in thousands):

	Successor Company		Predecessor Company
	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Term Loan:
Gross value	$	1,300,000	$	—
Fair value - Level 2	$	1,300,000	$	—
Predecessor Term Loan:
Gross value	$	—	$	1,722,209
Fair value - Level 2	$	—	$	1,481,100
7.75% Senior Notes:
Gross value	$	—	$	610,000
Fair value - Level 2	$	—	$	105,988

As of June 30, 2018, the Company compared the implied credit spread from an assumed par issuance price to market data to calculate the fair value of the Term Loan.

As of December 31, 2017, Old Cumulus used the closing trading prices from a third party of 86.0% to calculate the fair value of the Predecessor Term Loan and 17.4% to calculate the fair value of the 7.75% Senior Notes.

10. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision (benefit) and effective tax rate were as follows:

	Successor Company			Predecessor Company						Predecessor Company
(in thousands, except percentages)	Period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018			Period from April 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018			Three Months Ended June 30, 2017			Period from January 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018			Six Months Ended June 30, 2017
Income (loss) before income taxes	$	7,586		$	524,416		$	12,906		$	519,297		$	(515	)
Effective tax rate	34.4		%	(33.7		)%	56.1		%	(34.1		)%	(234.6		)%
Provision (benefit) for income taxes	$	2,606		$	(176,741	)	$	7,234		$	(176,859	)	$	1,208
Provision (benefit) for income taxes at 21% or 35%	$	1,593		$	110,127		$	4,517		$	109,052		$	(180	)
Difference between tax at effective versus statutory rate	$	1,013		$	(286,868	)	$	2,717		$	(285,911	)	$	1,388

The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the Predecessor Company period from January 1, 2018 to June 3, 2018 and the period from April 1, 2018 to June 3, 2018 relates to the income tax exclusion of cancellation of indebtedness income ("CODI") arising from the effectiveness of the Plan, the Company's elections to increase the tax basis in certain assets, statutory state and local income taxes, the impact of non-deductible expenses and changes to the valuation allowance.

28

Under the Plan, a substantial portion of the Predecessor Company’s prepetition debt securities and other obligations were extinguished and the Company recognized CODI. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), provides that a debtor in a bankruptcy case may exclude CODI from taxable income but must reduce certain of its tax attributes by the amount of any CODI realized by the debtor company as a result of the consummation of a plan of reorganization. Substantially all of the Company’s tax attributes are expected to be reduced when the statutory reduction occurs on the first day of the Company’s tax year subsequent to the date of emergence which is expected to be January 1, 2019.

IRC Sections 382 and 383 provide an annual limitation with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its tax attributes, as well as certain built-in losses, against future U.S. taxable income in the event of a change in ownership. The Debtors’ emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings is considered a change in ownership for purposes of IRC Section 382, with the limitation based on the value of the corporation as of the emergence date. The ownership changes and resulting annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses or other tax attributes otherwise available, with a corresponding decrease in the Company’s valuation allowance.

In conjunction with the Plan, the Company implemented a series of internal reorganization transactions through which it transferred the assets of Old Cumulus to an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the reorganized Cumulus Media Inc. (see Note 1, “Nature of Business, Interim Financial Data and Basis of Presentation”). The transfer of assets for income tax purposes results in a taxable sale of assets and stock, whereby the Company receives a step up in the tax basis of a significant portion of the underlying assets transferred, resulting in a future tax benefit.

The application of fresh start accounting on June 4, 2018 resulted in the re-measurement of deferred income taxes associated with the revaluation of the Company’s assets and liabilities (see Note 3, “Fresh Start Accounting”). As a result, net deferred income tax liabilities decreased $10.6 million. The Company continues to consider whether its deferred income tax assets are more likely than not to be realized based on its ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future years. At this time, the Company has determined that any tax attribute carryovers in existence prior to the date of reorganization or generated as a result of the reorganization are not more likely than not to be realized, as a result of attribute reductions, statutory limitations on utilization, and lack of future income at Old Cumulus.

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory rate of 21% for the Successor Company period June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018 is attributable to statutory state and local income taxes, the tax effect of certain statutory non-deductible expenses, changes in valuation allowance, and the tax effect of certain changes in uncertain tax positions.

The difference between the 56.1% effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 35.0% for the Predecessor Company for the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily relates to statutory state and local income taxes and the tax effect of certain statutory non-deductible items.

The primary driver of the income tax expense for the Predecessor Company six months ended June 30, 2017 was the tax effect of certain stock option terminations and forfeitures resulting from the adoption of the 2017 incentive plan.

The Company continually reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowance and recognizes the benefits of deferred tax assets only as a reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). As of June 30, 2018, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on loss carryforwards for which the Company does not believe it will be able to meet the more likely than not recognition standard for recovery. The valuation of deferred tax assets requires judgment about future profitability as well as the assessment of the likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns.

11. Stockholders' Equity

Successor Common Stock

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”), the Company is authorized to issue an aggregate of 300,000,000 shares of stock divided into three classes consisting of: (i) 100,000,000 shares of new Class A common stock; (ii) 100,000,000 shares of new Class B common stock; and (iii) 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

29

Each share of new Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Except as provided below and as otherwise required by the Charter, the Company’s bylaws or by applicable law, the holders of new Class A common stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders generally (or if any holders of shares of preferred stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of common stock, as a single class with such holders of shares of preferred stock).

Holders of new Class B common stock are generally not entitled to vote such shares on matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of new Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share of new Class B common stock, voting as a separate class, on any proposed amendment or modification of any specific rights or obligations that affect holders of new Class B common stock and that do not similarly affect the rights or obligations of the holders of new Class A common stock. In addition, holders of new Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share of new Class B common stock, voting together with the holders of new Class A common stock, on each of the following matters, if and only if any such matter is submitted to a vote of the stockholders (provided that the Company may take action on any of the following without a vote of the stockholders to the extent permitted by law):

a) the retention or dismissal of outside auditors by the Company;

b) any dividends or distributions to the stockholders of the Company;

c) any material sale of assets, recapitalization, merger, business combination, consolidation, exchange of stock or other similar reorganization involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

d) the adoption of any new or amended charter;

e) other than in connection with any management equity or similar plan adopted by the Board, any authorization or issuance of equity interests, or any security or instrument convertible into or exchangeable for equity interests, in the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and

f) the liquidation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

The Charter and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting. The holders of a plurality of the shares of new common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting at which a quorum is present called for the purpose of electing directors will be entitled to elect the directors of the Company. The holders of a majority of the shares of new common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, and present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders.

Subject to the preferences applicable to any preferred stock outstanding at any time, if any, the holders of shares of new common stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in cash, property or shares of stock as may be declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of the assets or funds legally available; except that in the case of dividends or other distributions payable on the new Class A common stock or new Class B common stock in shares of such stock, including distributions pursuant to stock splits or dividends, only new Class A common stock will be distributed with respect to new Class A common stock and only new Class B common stock will be distributed with respect to new Class B common stock. In no event will any of the new Class A common stock or new Class B common stock be split, divided or combined unless each other class is proportionately split, divided or combined.

As of the date hereof, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding. The Charter provides that the Board may, by resolution, establish one or more classes or series of preferred stock having the number of shares and relative voting rights, designations and other rights, preferences, and limitations as may be fixed by them without further stockholder approval. The holders of any such preferred stock may be entitled to preferences over holders of common stock with respect to dividends, or upon a liquidation, dissolution, or the Company’s winding up, in such amounts as are established by the resolutions of the Board approving the issuance of such shares.

The new Class B common stock is convertible at any time, or from time to time, at the option of the holders (provided that the prior consent of any governmental authority required to make such conversion lawful shall have been obtained and a determination by the Company has been made that the applicable holder does not have an attributable interest in another entity that would cause the Company to violate applicable law) into new Class A common stock on a share-for-share basis.

No holder of new common stock has any preemptive right to subscribe for any shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable in the future.

If the Company is liquidated (either partially or completely), dissolved or wound up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of new common stock shall be entitled to share ratably in the Company’s net assets remaining after payment of all liquidation preferences, if any, applicable to any outstanding preferred stock.

30

In connection with the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 and in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) provided by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Company issued a total of 11,052,211 shares of new Class A common stock, 5,218,209 shares of new Class B common stock, 3,016,853 Series 1 warrants and issued or will issue 712,736 Series 2 warrants to holders of certain claims against the Predecessor Company. The holders of claims with respect to the Predecessor Term Loan received 83.5% of the new common stock and warrants issued. The holders of unsecured claims, including claims arising from the 7.75% Senior Notes, received, in the aggregate, 16.5% of the new common stock and warrants issued. During the period from June 4, 2018 to June 30, 2018, certain holders of new Class B common stock elected to exchange 1,344,184 shares of new Class B common stock for an equal number of shares of new Class A common stock.

As of June 30, 2018, the Successor Company had 16,305,384 aggregate issued and outstanding shares of new common stock consisting of:

(i) 12,396,395 shares designated as Class A common stock;

(ii) 3,908,989 shares designated as Class B common stock

Successor Stock Purchase Warrants

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) with Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company, as warrant agent. In accordance with the Plan and pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Company (i) issued 3,016,853 Series 1 warrants to purchase shares of new Class A common stock or new Class B common stock, on a one-for-one basis with an exercise price of $0.0000001 per share, to certain claimants with claims against the Predecessor Company and (ii) issued or will issue 712,736 Series 2 warrants to purchase shares of new Class A common stock or new Class B common stock on a one-for-one basis with an exercise price of $0.0000001 per share, to other claimants. The Warrants expire on June 4, 2038.

The number of shares of new common stock for which a Warrant is exercisable is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of specified events, including: (1) the subdivision or combination of the new common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares (2) upon a reclassification or recapitalization of the Company in which holders of new common stock are entitled to receive cash, stock or securities in exchange for new common stock and (3) a Change of Control (as defined in the Warrant Agreement).

The Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Communications Act”) restricts the Company from having more than 25% of its capital stock owned or voted by non-U.S. persons, foreign governments or non-U.S. corporations. The Company applied for a declaratory ruling from the FCC to increase the level of foreign ownership of the Company greater than that permitted under the Communications Act. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, upon receipt of the declaratory ruling from the FCC, the Company is required to exchange new common stock for outstanding Warrants to the extent permitted by the declaratory ruling, subject to proration among the holders of Warrants as set forth therein. If the declaratory ruling will not allow the Company to exchange for new common stock for all of the outstanding Warrants, then, in addition to proration among holders, all remaining Series 2 warrants will be mandatorily exchanged for Series 1 warrants.

Predecessor Common Stock

The Predecessor Company was authorized to issue an aggregate of 268,830,609 shares of stock divided into four classes consisting of:

(i) 93,750,000 shares designated as Class A common stock;

(ii) 75,000,000 shares designated as Class B common stock;

(iii) 80,609 shares designated as Class C common stock, and

(iv) 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

In accordance with the Plan, each share of old common stock outstanding prior to the Effective Date, including all options, warrants or other rights, including rights issued under the Rights Agreement, to purchase such old common stock, were extinguished, canceled and discharged, and each such share, option or warrant has no further force or effect. Furthermore, all of Old Cumulus’s equity award agreements under prior incentive plans, and the awards granted pursuant thereto, were extinguished, canceled and discharged and have no further force or effect.

31

Predecessor Warrants

2009 Warrants

In June 2009, in connection with the execution of an amendment to Old Cumulus's then-existing credit agreement, the Predecessor Company issued warrants to the lenders thereunder that allowed them to acquire up to 156,250 shares of old Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.17 per share (the “2009 Warrants”). None of the 2009 warrants were converted during the period from December 31, 2017 to June 3, 2018, and as of such date there were 40,057 of the 2009 Warrants outstanding. The Predecessor 2009 Warrants were canceled in their entirety as of the Effective Date.

Citadel Warrants

As a component of Old Cumulus’s September 16, 2011 acquisition of Citadel Broadcasting Corporation (the “Citadel Merger”) and the related financing transactions, the Predecessor Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9.0 million shares of old Class A common stock (the “Citadel Warrants”) under a warrant agreement dated September 16, 2011. The Citadel Warrants were exercisable at any time prior to June 3, 2030 at an exercise price of $0.01 per share with each Citadel warrant providing the right to purchase one share. As of June 3, 2018, 31,955 Citadel Warrants remained outstanding. The Citadel Warrants were canceled in their entirety as of the Effective Date.

Crestview Warrants

Also on September 16, 2011, but pursuant to a separate warrant agreement, Old Cumulus issued warrants to purchase 1.0 million shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price, as adjusted, of $34.56 per share (the “Crestview Warrants”). As of June 3, 2018, all 1.0 million Crestview Warrants remained outstanding. The Crestview Warrants were canceled in their entirety as of the Effective Date.

12. Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Successor Share-Based Compensation

Upon adopting ASC 718 for awards with service conditions, the Successor Company made an election to recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. In addition, the Successor Company made an accounting policy election to recognize forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur in the period of forfeiture rather than estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited at the grant date and subsequently adjusting the estimate when awards are actually forfeited. For stock options with service conditions only, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options issued. The fair value of stock options is determined by the Company’s stock price, historical stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. If other assumptions are used, the resulting fair value could differ. For restricted stock awards the Company utilized the intrinsic value method.

In accordance with the Plan and the approval of the Board, the Incentive Plan became effective as of the Effective Date. The Incentive Plan is intended to, among other things, help attract, motivate and retain key employees and directors and to reward them for making major contributions to the success of the Company. The Incentive Plan permits awards to be made to consultants or to employees, directors, or consultants of an affiliate of the Company.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Board’s compensation committee will administer the Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan generally provides for the following types of awards: 

• stock options (including incentive options and nonstatutory options);

• restricted stock;

• stock appreciation rights;

• dividend equivalents;

• other stock-based awards;

• performance awards; and

• cash awards.

The aggregate number of shares of new Class A common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan is 2,222,223 on a fully diluted basis. Awards can be made under the Incentive Plan for a period of ten years from June 4, 2018, subject to the right of the stockholders and the Board to terminate the Incentive Plan at any time.

32

On or about the Effective Date and pursuant to the Plan, the Company granted 562,217 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 562,217 stock options (“Options”) under the Incentive Plan and the terms of the relevant restricted stock unit agreements (the “Restricted Stock Unit Agreements”) and stock option agreements (the “Option Agreements”), as applicable, to certain employees, including its executive officers (collectively, “Management”), representing an aggregate of 1,124,434 shares of new Class A common stock (collectively, the “Management Emergence Awards”).

Fifty percent (50%) of the RSUs granted to Management vest ratably on each of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, subject to certain performance-based criteria. Of the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the RSUs and one hundred percent (100%) of the Options granted to Management, 30% will vest on each of the first two anniversaries of the Effective Date, and 20% will vest on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the Effective Date. The vesting of each of the Management Emergence Awards is also subject to, among other things, each such employee’s continued employment with the Company.

If an employee’s employment is terminated by the Company or its subsidiaries without Cause, by the employee for Good Reason (each, as defined in the award agreement) or by reason of death or Disability (as defined in the award agreement), such employee will become vested in an additional tranche of the unvested Management Emergence Awards as if the employee’s employment continued for one (1) additional year following the qualifying termination date; provided, that with respect to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, (i) an amount equal to 50% of the unvested components of the Management Emergence Awards will accelerate and vest (75% if such termination occurs on or before the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date) and (ii) vested Options will remain outstanding until the expiration date of such Option. If an employee’s employment is terminated by the Company or its subsidiaries without Cause or by the employee for Good Reason, in either instance at any time within the three month period immediately preceding, or the twelve month period immediately following, a Change in Control (as defined in the award agreement), such employee will become vested in all unvested Management Emergence Awards.

In addition, on or about the Effective Date and pursuant to the Plan, the Company granted each non-employee director certain RSUs and Options under the Incentive Plan and the terms of the relevant Restricted Stock Unit Agreements and Option Agreements, as applicable, representing an aggregate of 56,721 shares of new Class A common stock (the “Director Emergence Awards”). The RSUs and Options granted to each non-employee director vest in four equal installments on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing on June 30, 2018. The vesting of each of the Director Emergence Awards is also subject to, among other things, each such non-employee director’s continued role as a director with the Company. Upon a Change in Control, all unvested Director Emergence Awards will fully vest.

The total grants awarded during the period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018 are presented in the table below:

	Successor Company
	Period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018
Stock option grants	581,124
Restricted stock unit grants	600,031
Total grants in the successor period	1,181,155

The total share-based compensation expense included in “Corporate expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018 was as follows (in thousands):

	Successor Company
	Period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018
Stock option grants	$	315
Restricted stock unit grants	337
Total expense	$	652

Predecessor Share-Based Compensation

Upon adopting ASC 718 for awards with service conditions, the Predecessor Company made an election to recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. In addition, the Predecessor Company made an accounting policy election to recognize forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur in the period of forfeiture rather than estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited at the grant date and subsequently adjusting the estimate when awards are actually forfeited. For stock options with service conditions only, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options issued. The fair value of stock options is determined by the Company’s stock price, historical stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. If other assumptions are used, the resulting fair value could differ. For restricted stock awards the Company utilized the intrinsic value method.

The total grants awarded during the period from April 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018 and January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are presented in the table below:

	Predecessor Company

Stock option grants	$	65	$	530	$	231	$	1,068

13. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

As discussed in Note 2, "Emergence from Chapter 11", on the Effective Date, the old common stock awards and warrants then outstanding under the Company’s prior equity compensation plans were extinguished without recovery.

The Company calculates basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding restricted shares. The Company calculates diluted earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding share-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock awards. Warrants are included in basic and diluted shares outstanding because there is little or no consideration paid upon exercise of the Warrants. Antidilutive instruments are not considered in this calculation. The Company applies the two-class method to calculate earnings per share. Because both classes share the same rights in dividends and earnings, earnings per share (basic and diluted) are the same for both classes.

34

The following table presents the reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average common shares as well as the effect of anti-dilutive securities excluded from diluted weighted average common shares (in thousands):

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Future Commitments

The radio broadcast industry’s principal ratings service is Nielsen Audio (“Nielsen”), which publishes surveys for domestic radio markets. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have agreements with Nielsen under which they receive programming ratings information. The remaining aggregate obligation under the agreements with Nielsen is approximately $175.7 million, as of June 30, 2018, and is expected to be paid in accordance with the agreements through December 2021.

The Company engages Katz Media Group, Inc. (“Katz”) as its national advertising sales agent. The national advertising agency contract with Katz contains termination provisions that, if exercised by the Company during the term of the contract, would obligate the Company to pay a termination fee to Katz, based upon a formula set forth in the contract.

The Company is committed under various contractual agreements to pay for broadcast rights that include sports and news services and to pay for talent, executives, research, weather information and other services.

The Company from time to time enters into radio network contractual obligations to guarantee a minimum amount of revenue share to contractual counterparties on certain programming in future years. As of June 30, 2018, the Company believes that it will meet all such material minimum obligations.

On February 1, 2018 and March 9, 2018, respectively, the Company and Merlin Media, LLC (“Merlin”) amended their Local Marketing Agreement (“LMA Agreement”) under which the Company programmed two FM radio stations owned by Merlin. The Company ceased programming one of the stations (“WLUP”) on March 9, 2018, but continued to program the other FM station (“WKQX”) under the amended LMA Agreement. On April 3, 2018, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Merlin, pursuant to which it agreed to purchase WKQX and certain intellectual property for $18.0 million in cash. On April 10, 2018, the Court approved the purchase and the Company made a payment in escrow of $4.75 million. On June 15, 2018, the Company closed on the purchase of WKQX. The table below summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation among the tangible and intangible assets acquired in the WKQX purchase (dollars in thousands):

36

Allocation	Amount
Broadcast licenses	$	17,476
Property and equipment	524
Total purchase price	$	18,000

The above estimated fair values of assets acquired are preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair value of assets acquired. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize the determination of fair value. Thus, the preliminary measurements of fair value reflected are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than December 31, 2018.

Legal Proceedings

In August 2015, the Company was named as a defendant in two separate putative class action lawsuits relating to its use and public performance of certain sound recordings fixed prior to February 15, 1972 (the "Pre-1972 Recordings"). The first suit, ABS Entertainment, Inc., et. al. v, Cumulus Media Inc., was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and alleged, among other things, copyright infringement under California state law, common law conversion, misappropriation and unfair business practices. On December 11, 2015, this suit was dismissed without prejudice. The second suit, ABS Entertainment, Inc., v. Cumulus Media Inc., was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and claimed, among other things, common law copyright infringement and unfair competition. The New York lawsuit was stayed pending an appeal before the Second Circuit involving unrelated third parties over whether the owner of a Pre-1972 Recording holds an exclusive right to publicly perform that recording under New York common law. On December 20, 2016, the New York Court of Appeals held that New York common law does not recognize a right of public performance for owners of pre-1972 Recordings. As a result of that case (to which Cumulus Media Inc. was not a party) the New York case against Cumulus Media Inc., was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs on April 3, 2017. The question of whether public performance rights exist for Pre-1972 recordings under state law is still being litigated in the Ninth Circuit as a result of a case filed in California. Cumulus is not a party to that case, and the Company is not yet able to determine what effect that proceeding will have, if any, on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

The Company currently is, and expects that from time to time in the future it will be, party to, or a defendant in, various other claims or lawsuits that are generally incidental to its business. The Company expects that it will vigorously contest any such claims or lawsuits and believes that the ultimate resolution of any such known claim or lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company operates in two reportable segments for which there is discrete financial information available and whose operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, the Cumulus Radio Station Group and Westwood One. Cumulus Radio Station Group revenue is derived primarily from the sale of broadcasting time to local, regional, and national advertisers. Westwood One revenue is generated primarily through network advertising. The Company also reports information for Corporate and Other. Corporate includes overall executive, administrative and support functions for both of the Company’s reportable segments, including accounting, finance, legal, human resources, information technology functions, and programming.

The Company presents segment adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as this is the financial metric by which management and the chief operating decision maker allocate resources of the Company and analyze the performance of the Company’s reportable segments. Management also uses this measure to determine the contribution of the Company's core operations to the funding of its corporate resources utilized to manage operations and non-operating expenses including debt service and acquisitions. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric for purposes of calculating and determining compliance with certain covenants contained in the Company’s Credit Agreement.

In determining Adjusted EBITDA, the Company excludes from net income items not related to core operations and those that are non-cash including: interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, gain or loss on the

37

exchange, sale, or disposal of any assets or stations, early extinguishment of debt, local marketing agreement fees (as such fees are excluded from the definition of such term for purposes of calculating covenant compliance under the credit agreement), expenses relating to acquisitions, restructuring costs, reorganization items and non-cash impairments of assets, if any.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, although not a measure that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, is commonly employed by the investment community as a measure for determining the market value of a media company and comparing the operational and financial performance among media companies. Management has also observed that Adjusted EBITDA is routinely utilized to evaluate and negotiate the potential purchase price for media companies. Given the relevance to our overall value, management believes that investors consider the metric to be extremely useful.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company’s operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may be defined or calculated differently by other companies, and comparability may be limited.

16. Subsequent Event

On August 17, 2018, Holdings entered into a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to a Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), dated as of August 17, 2018, with certain subsidiaries of Holdings, as borrowers, certain lenders, Intermediate Holdings, as a guarantor, and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as a lender and Administrative Agent.

The Revolving Credit Facility matures on August 17, 2023. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is tied to a borrowing base formula that is based on 85% of the accounts receivable of the borrowers and the guarantors, subject to customary reserves and eligibility criteria. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, up to $10.0 million of availability may be drawn in the form of letters of credit.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the option of Holdings, based on LIBOR plus a percentage spread (ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%) based on the average daily excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility or the Alternative Base Rate (as defined below) plus a percentage spread (ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%) based on the average daily excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Alternative Base Rate is defined, for any day, as the per annum rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the rate identified as the “Prime Rate” and normally published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. In addition, the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% based on the utilization of the facility. As of August 20, 2018, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

40

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains representations, covenants and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this nature. Events of default in the Revolving Credit Agreement include, among others: (a) the failure to pay when due the obligations owing thereunder; (b) the failure to perform (and not timely remedy, if applicable) certain covenants; (c) certain defaults and accelerations under other indebtedness; (d) the occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency events; (e) certain judgments against Holdings or any of its subsidiaries; (f) the loss, revocation or suspension of, or any material impairment in the ability to use, any one or more of, any material Federal Communications Commission licenses; (g) any representation or warranty made, or report, certificate or financial statement delivered, to the lenders subsequently proven to have been incorrect in any material respect; and (h) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans and exercise any of their rights under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the ancillary loan documents as a secured party.

The Revolving Credit Agreement does not contain any financial maintenance covenants with which the Company must comply. However, if average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is less than the greater of (a) 12.50% of the total commitments thereunder or (b) $5.0 million, the Company must comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0.

Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Intermediate Holdings and the present and future wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdings that are not borrowers thereunder, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolver Guarantors”) and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of Holdings, the subsidiaries of Holdings party to the Credit Agreement as borrowers, and the Revolver Guarantors.

Emergence from Chapter 11; Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations

As previously disclosed, on November 29, 2017 (the “Petition Date”), CM Wind Down Topco Inc. (formerly known as Cumulus Media Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Old Cumulus”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Bankruptcy Petitions”) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (the "Chapter 11 Cases") were jointly administered under the caption In re Cumulus Media Inc., et al, Case No. 17-13381. On May 10, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order Confirming the Debtors’ First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization [Docket No. 769] (the “Confirmation Order”), which confirmed the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Cumulus Media Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code [Docket No. 446] (the “Plan”), as modified by the Confirmation Order. On June 4, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), Old Cumulus satisfied the conditions to effectiveness set forth in the Confirmation Order and in the Plan, the Plan was substantially consummated, and Old Cumulus and the other Debtors emerged from Chapter 11. On June 29, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order closing the Chapter 11 Cases of all of the Debtors other than Old Cumulus, whose case will remain open for purposes of fully administering its estate, including reconciling claims subject to compromise under the Plan. Although Old Cumulus emerged from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date, the Old Cumulus Chapter 11 Case will remain open until its estate has been fully administered and the Bankruptcy Court enters an order closing its case.

Cancellation of Certain Prepetition Obligations

In connection with the effectiveness of and pursuant to the terms of the Plan, on the Effective Date, the obligations of Old Cumulus and its subsidiaries under the following agreements were satisfied and discharged:

• Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2013, by and among Cumulus Media Inc., Cumulus Media Holdings Inc., as borrower, certain lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender and Administrative Agent, Royal Bank of Canada and Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., as co-syndication agents, and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, Fifth Third Bank, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and ING Capital LLC, as co-documentation agents (“the Canceled Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which Old Cumulus had outstanding term loans in the amount of $1.7 billion (the “Predecessor Term Loan”);

• Indenture, dated as of May 13, 2011, among Cumulus Media Inc., the Guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, as supplemented (“7.75% Senior Notes”), pursuant to which Old Cumulus had outstanding senior notes with a face value of $610.0 million; and

• Rights Agreement, dated as of June 5, 2017, between Cumulus Media Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agreement”).

Additional Matters Contemplated by the Plan

• In accordance with the Plan, on the Effective Date each share of Old Cumulus’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “old Class A common stock”), Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “old Class B common stock”), and Class C common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "old Class C common stock" and together with the old Class A common stock and the old Class B common stock, the “old common stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date, including all stock options, warrants or other rights, including rights issued under the Rights Agreement, to purchase such old common stock, were extinguished, canceled and discharged, and each such share, option or warrant has no further force or effect. Furthermore, all of Old Cumulus’s equity award agreements under prior incentive plans, and the awards granted pursuant thereto, were extinguished, canceled and discharged and have no further force or effect;

• On the Effective Date, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to authorize the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0000001 per share (“new Class A common stock”),100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0000001 per share (“new Class B common stock” and, together with the new Class A common stock, the “new common stock”) and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock (see Note 11, “Stockholders’ Equity”);

• On the Effective Date, the Company issued 11,052,211 shares of new Class A common stock and 5,218,209 shares of new Class B common stock;

• On the Effective Date, the Company issued 3,016,853 Series 1 warrants to purchase shares of new common stock;

• After the Effective Date, the Company also issued or will issue 712,736 Series 2 warrants (the “Series 2 warrants” and, together with the Series 1 warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of new common stock;

• The Company entered into a $1.3 billion credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement” or “Term Loan”) with Wilmington Trust, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”) and the lenders named therein (see Note 8, “Long-Term Debt”);

42

• The holders of claims with respect to the Predecessor Term Loan received the following in full and complete satisfaction of their respective claims thereunder: (i) a pro rata share of the Term Loan and (ii) a pro rata share of 83.5% of the new common stock and warrants issued, subject to dilution by certain issuances under the Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) (see Note 11, “Stockholders’ Equity”);

• The holders of unsecured claims against Old Cumulus, including claims arising from the 7.75% Senior Notes received, in the aggregate, 16.5% of the new common stock and warrants issued, subject to dilution by certain issuances under the Incentive Plan;

• The Company’s board of directors wasreconstituted to consist of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and six independent directors selected by the holders of the Predecessor Term Loan; and

• Intercompany Claims and Interests (as defined in the Plan) were canceled without any distribution on account of such Intercompany Claims and Interests.

The foregoing description of certain of the matters effected pursuant to the Plan, and the transactions related to and contemplated thereunder, is not intended to be a complete description of, or a substitute for, a full and complete reading of the Plan.

On November 22, 2017, as a result of the Company's previously disclosed non-compliance with certain NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") listing rules, trading in the Company’s Class A common stock was suspended effective at the open of business, on November 22, 2017. After the Company's emergence from Chapter 11, the Company applied for relisting on the NASDAQ Global Market. On July 27, 2018, the Company received notification from NASDAQ that our application was approved. The Company's Class A common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market at the open of business on August 1, 2018.

In connection with the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date, the Company qualified for fresh start accounting under ASC 852 as (i) the holders of voting shares of the Predecessor Company received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Successor Company and (ii) the reorganization value of the Company’s assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan was less than the pre-petition liabilities and allowed claims. ASC 852 requires that fresh start accounting be applied when the Bankruptcy Court enters the confirmation order confirming a plan of reorganization, or as of a later date when all material conditions precedent to the effectiveness of a plan of reorganization are resolved, which for CUMULUS MEDIA was June 4, 2018. The Company has applied fresh start accounting as of the Effective Date.

Upon the application of fresh start accounting, CUMULUS MEDIA allocated the reorganization value to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values in conformity with ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company’s assets before considering liabilities. Liabilities existing as of the Effective Date, other than deferred taxes, were recorded at the present value of amounts expected to be paid using appropriate risk adjusted interest rates. Deferred taxes were determined in conformity with applicable accounting standards. Predecessor Company accumulated depreciation, accumulated amortization, and accumulated deficit were eliminated. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan, the Company’s consolidated financial statements after June 3, 2018 will not be comparable to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of or prior to that date.

In accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), and ASC 205-40, the Company has the responsibility to evaluate at each reporting period, including interim periods, whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations. In its evaluation for this report, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and the Company’s conditional and unconditional obligations due within one year following the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, Old Cumulus’s ability to continue as a going concern was contingent upon a variety of factors, including the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Plan and the Company’s ability to successfully implement the Plan. As a result of the effectiveness of the Plan, the Company believes it has the ability to meet its obligations for at least one year from the date of issuance of this Form 10-Q.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $66.7 million of cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash. The Company used cash in operating activities of $1.7 million for the period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018 and generated cash from operating activities of $29.1 million for the period from January 1 through June 3, 2018. Old Cumulus generated cash from operating activities of $16.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2017.

Historically, our principal sources of funds have primarily been cash flow from operations and borrowings under credit facilities in existence from time to time. Our cash flow from operations remains subject to factors such as fluctuations in advertising media preferences and changes in demand caused by shifts in population, station listenership, demographics and audience tastes. In addition, our cash flows may be affected if customers are not able to pay, or delay payment of, accounts receivable that are owed to us, which risks may be exacerbated in challenging or otherwise uncertain economic periods. In recent periods, the Company has experienced reductions in revenue and profitability from prior historical periods because of continuing market revenue pressures and cost escalations built into certain contracts. Notwithstanding this, we believe that our national platform and extensive station portfolio representing a broad diversity in format, listener base, geography, and advertiser base helps us maintain a more stable revenue stream by reducing our dependence on any single demographic, region or industry. Future reductions in revenue or profitability are possible and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

From time to time we have evaluated, and expect that we will continue to evaluate, opportunities to obtain additional capital from the divestiture of radio stations or other assets where the net value accretion realized in a sale exceeds the value that management believes could be realized over time by continuing to operate the assets, or that are not a part of, or do not complement, our strategic operations, subject to market and other conditions in existence at that time.

As previously disclosed, based on the results of required annual or interim impairment testing in certain recent historical periods, the Predecessor Company incurred non-cash impairment charges against intangible assets and goodwill, including a non-cash impairment charge against FCC licenses of $335.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and charges of $603.1 million against goodwill and FCC licenses for the year ended December 31, 2016. Such non-cash charges reduced the Predecessor Company’s reported operating results in those periods; however, as these charges did not require a cash outlay, they had no effect on liquidity. Any future impairment charges could materially adversely affect our financial results in the periods in which they are recorded.    

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and segment Adjusted EBITDA are the financial metrics by which management and the chief operating decision maker allocate resources of the Company and analyze the performance of the Company as a whole and each of our reportable segments, respectively. Management also uses this measure to determine the contribution of our core operations to the funding of our corporate resources utilized to manage our operations and our non-operating expenses including debt service and acquisitions. In addition, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric for purposes of calculating and determining our compliance with certain covenants contained in our Credit Agreement.

In determining Adjusted EBITDA, the Company excludes from net income items not related to core operations and those that are non-cash including: interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, gain or loss on the exchange, sale, or disposal of any assets or stations, early extinguishment of debt, local marketing agreement fees (as such fees are excluded from the definition of such term for purposes of calculating covenant compliance under the credit agreement), expenses relating to acquisitions, restructuring costs, reorganization items and non-cash impairments of assets, if any.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, although not a measure that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, is commonly employed by the investment community as a measure for determining the market value of a media company and comparing the operational and financial performance among media companies. Management has also observed that Adjusted EBITDA is routinely utilized to evaluate and negotiate the potential purchase price for media companies. Given the relevance to our overall value, management believes that investors consider the metric to be extremely useful.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company’s operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may be defined or calculated differently by other companies, and comparability may be limited.

Fresh Start Accounting Adjustments    

The Company's operating results and key operating performance measures on a consolidated basis, as well as within the Cumulus Radio Station Group and Westwood One, were not materially impacted by the reorganization. We believe that certain of our consolidated operating results for each of the periods from January 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018 (“2018 Predecessor Period”) and April 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018 (“2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period”), when combined with our consolidated operating results for the period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018 (“Successor Period”) are comparable to certain operating results from the comparable prior year’s periods. Accordingly, we believe that discussing the combined results of operations and cash flows of the Predecessor Company and the Successor Company for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 is useful when analyzing certain performance measures. For items that are not comparable, we have included additional analysis to supplement the discussion.

Successor Period and 2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period Compared to the Predecessor Company Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the Successor Period and the 2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period compared to net revenue for the Predecessor Company three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased primarily as a result of a decline in local broadcast advertising revenue within our radio markets and the loss of approximately $0.7 million in revenue from United States Traffic Networks ("USTN"), partially offset by increases in digital advertising revenue, national advertising revenue and cyclical political revenue. For a discussion of net revenue by segment and a comparison by segment of the Successor Period and the 2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period to the Predecessor Company three months ended June 30, 2017, see the discussion under "Segment Results of Operations."

Content Costs

Content costs consist of all costs related to the licensing, acquisition and development of our programming. Content costs for the Successor Period and the 2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period compared to the Predecessor Company three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased primarily as a result of the termination or renegotiation of certain contractual agreements, in some cases in connection with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. The remainder of the decrease was related to reductions in other programming-related expenses such as music license fees as a result of lower revenue, and a decrease in employee costs.

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of expenses related to our sales efforts and distribution of our content across our platform and overhead in our markets. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Successor Period and the 2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period compared to the Predecessor Company three months ended June 30, 2017 increased primarily as a result of a $4.1 million bad debt expense related to receivables from USTN. In addition, we experienced higher digital costs associated with higher digital revenue during the comparative periods. These increases were partially offset by lower sales commission and salary expense associated with lower broadcast revenue and the impact of our implementation of ASC 606 as well as lower legal fees and ratings service fees.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the Successor Period and the 2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period are not directly comparable to depreciation and amortization for the Predecessor Company three months ended June 30, 2017. During the 2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period, amortization expense decreased based on the amortization methodology used. During the Successor Period, depreciation and amortization expense increased because of the higher valuation of fixed assets in connection with the Company’s fresh start accounting application.

Local Marketing Agreement Fees

Local marketing agreements are those agreements whereby the Company agrees to operate a radio station on behalf of another party. Our local marketing agreement fees are not comparable between the Successor and Predecessor periods. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company and Merlin Media, LLC ("Merlin") amended their local marketing agreement under which the Company programmed two FM radio stations owned by Merlin. The Company then ceased programming one of the stations ("WLUP") on March 9, 2018. On June 15, 2018, the Company purchased the other station (“WKQX”) and certain intellectual property for $18.0 million in cash.

Corporate Expenses, Including Stock-based Compensation Expense and Acquisition-related and Restructuring Costs

Corporate expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for our executive, accounting, finance, human resources, information technology and legal personnel, and fees for professional services. Professional services are principally comprised of audit, consulting and outside legal services. Corporate expenses also include restructuring expenses. Corporate expenses, including stock-based compensation expense, for the Successor Period and the 2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period compared to the Predecessor Company three months ended June 30, 2017 increased primarily as a result of higher restructuring expenses after the Effective Date related to the Company's emergence from chapter 11, and additional professional fees. These increases were partially offset by lower corporate employee costs and lower rent.

Reorganization Items, Net

During the 2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period, we recorded costs related to our Chapter 11 Cases. Reorganization items incurred as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases are presented separately in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and were as follows (dollars in thousands):

47

	Predecessor Company
	Period from April 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018
Gain on settlement of Liabilities subject to compromise (a)	$	726,831
Fresh start adjustments (b)	(179,291		)
Professional fees (c)	(29,560		)
Non-cash claims adjustments (d)	(15,364		)
Rejected executory contracts (e)	(2,936		)
Other (f)	(3,312		)
Reorganization items, net	$	496,368

(a) Liabilities subject to compromise have been, or will be settled in accordance with the Plan.

(b) Revaluation of certain assets and liabilities upon the adoption of fresh start accounting.

(c) Legal, financial advisory and other professional costs directly associated with the reorganization process.

(d) The carrying value of certain claims were adjusted to the estimated value of the claim that will be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court.

(e) Non-cash expenses to record estimated allowed claim amounts related to rejected executory contracts.

(f) Federal Communications Commission filing and United States Trustee fees directly associated with the reorganization process and the write-off of Predecessor director and officer insurance policies.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense for the Successor Period and for the 2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period are not comparable, nor is the total interest expense for those periods combined comparable to that of the Predecessor Company three months ended June 30, 2017. During the Successor Period, we recorded interest expense of approximately $6.1 million on $1.3 billion in outstanding debt at an average interest rate of approximately 6.6%. During the Second Quarter 2018 Predecessor Period, the Predecessor Company made adequate protection payments in lieu of interest payments on the Predecessor Term Loan which were recorded as a reduction of the principal balance outstanding. Interest payments were not recorded or paid on the 7.75% Senior Notes while the Company was in Chapter 11. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded and paid interest expense in accordance with the provisions of the then outstanding debt agreements.

The below table details the components of our interest expense by debt instrument (dollars in thousands):

	Successor Company		Predecessor Company
	Period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018		Period from April 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018		Three Months Ended June 30, 2017
Bank borrowings – Term Loan	$	6,140	$	—	$	—
7.75% Senior Notes	—		—		11,819
Bank borrowings – Predecessor Term Loan	—		—		19,526
Other, including debt issue cost amortization	36		132		2,999
Interest expense	$	6,176	$	132	$	34,344

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

48

The Company’s income tax provision (benefit) and effective tax rate were as follows:

	Successor Company			Predecessor Company
(in thousands, except percentages)	Period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018			Period from April 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018			Three Months Ended June 30, 2017
Income before income taxes	$	7,586		$	524,416		$	12,906
Effective tax rate	34.4		%	(33.7		)%	56.1		%
Provision (benefit) for income taxes	2,606			(176,741		)	7,234
Provision for income taxes at 21% or 35%	1,593			110,127			4,517
Difference between tax at effective versus statutory rate	$	1,013		$	(286,868	)	$	2,717

The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the 2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period relates to the income tax exclusion of cancellation of indebtedness income ("CODI") arising from the Plan, the Company's elections to increase tax basis in certain assets, statutory state and local income taxes, the impact of non-deductible expenses and changes to the valuation allowance. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 35% for the Predecessor Company Second Quarter of 2017 relates to statutory state and local income taxes and the impact of non-deductible expenses.

In conjunction with the Plan, the Company implemented a series of internal reorganization transactions through which it transferred the assets of Old Cumulus to an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the reorganized Cumulus Media Inc. (see Note 1, “Nature of Business, Interim Financial Data and Basis of Presentation”). The transfer of assets for income tax purposes results in a taxable sale of assets and stock, whereby the Company receives a step up in the tax basis of a significant portion of the underlying assets transferred, resulting in a future tax benefit.

The application of fresh start accounting on June 4, 2018 resulted in the re-measurement of deferred income taxes associated with the revaluation of the Company’s assets and liabilities (see Note 3, “Fresh Start Accounting”). As a result, net deferred income tax liabilities decreased $10.6 million. The Company continues to consider whether the deferred income tax assets are more likely than not to be realized based on its ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future years. At this time, the Company has determined that any tax attribute carryovers in existence prior to the date of reorganization are not more likely than not to be realized, as a result of attribute reduction, statutory limitations on utilization, and lack of future income at Old Cumulus.

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory rate of 21% during the Successor Period is attributable to statutory state and local income taxes, the tax effect of certain statutory non-deductible expenses, changes in valuation allowances, and the tax effect of certain changes in uncertain tax positions.

We use the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Except for goodwill, deferred income taxes are recognized for all temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of our assets and liabilities based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded against a deferred tax asset to adjust the asset to its net realizable value when it is not more likely than not that the benefits of its recovery will be recognized. We continually review the adequacy of our valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets and recognize the benefits of deferred tax assets only as the reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740").

As of June 30, 2018, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on loss carryforwards for which the Company does not believe it will be able to meet the more likely than not recognition standard for recovery. The valuation of deferred tax assets requires judgment in assessing the likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns as well as future profitability.

Adjusted EBITDA

As a result of the factors described above, Adjusted EBITDA for the Successor Period and the 2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period compared to the Predecessor Company three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased. For a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA by segment and a comparison by segment of the Successor Period and the 2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period to the Predecessor Company three months ended June 30, 2017, see the discussion under "Segment Results of Operations."

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income (the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP) as presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated Statements of Operations (dollars in thousands):

Successor Period and 2018 Predecessor Period Compared to the Predecessor Company Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the Successor Period and 2018 Predecessor Period compared to the Predecessor Company six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased primarily as a result of a decline in local broadcast advertising revenue in our radio markets, partially offset by increases in national and digital advertising revenue as well as cyclical political advertising revenue. For a discussion of net revenue by segment and a comparison by segment of the Successor Period and 2018 Predecessor Period to the Predecessor Company six months ended June 30, 2017, see the discussion under "Segment Results of Operations."

Content Costs

Content costs for the Successor Period and 2018 Predecessor Period compared to the Predecessor Company six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased primarily as a result of the termination or renegotiation of certain contractual agreements, in some cases in connection with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. The remainder of the decrease was related to reductions in other programming-related expenses as a result of lower revenue, and a decrease in employee costs.

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Successor Period and 2018 Predecessor Period compared to the Predecessor Company six months ended June 30, 2017 increased primarily as a result of higher digital costs associated with higher digital revenue, and $4.1 million in bad debt expense related to USTN. These increases were partially offset by lower employee costs associated with lower revenue as well as the implementation of ASC 606, lower ratings service fees, and lower legal fees.

50

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the Successor Period and 2018 Predecessor Period are not directly comparable to depreciation and amortization for the Predecessor Company six months ended June 30, 2017. During the 2018 Predecessor Period amortization expense decreased based on amortization methodology used. During the Successor Period, depreciation and amortization expense increased because of the higher valuation of fixed assets in connection with the Company’s fresh start accounting application.

Local Marketing Agreement Fees

Our local marketing agreement fees are not comparable between the Successor and Predecessor periods. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company and Merlin amended their local marketing agreement under which the Company programmed two FM radio stations owned by Merlin. The Company ceased programming WLUP on March 9, 2018. On June 15, 2018, the Company purchased WKQX and certain intellectual property for $18.0 million in cash.

Corporate Expenses, Including Stock-based Compensation Expense and Acquisition-related and Restructuring Costs

Corporate expenses, including stock-based compensation expense, for the Successor Period and 2018 Predecessor Period compared to the Predecessor Company six months ended June 30, 2017 increased. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in professional fees after the Effective Date related to the Company's emergence from Chapter 11, partially offset by a decrease in corporate employee costs.

Reorganization Items, Net

During the Successor Period and 2018 Predecessor Period, we recorded costs related to our Chapter 11 Cases. Reorganization items incurred as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases are presented separately in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Predecessor Company
		Period from January 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018

(a) Liabilities subject to compromise have been, or will be settled in accordance with the Plan.

(b) Revaluation of certain assets and liabilities upon the adoption of fresh start accounting.

(c) Legal, financial advisory and other professional costs directly associated with the reorganization process.

(d) The carrying value of certain claims were adjusted to the estimated value of the claim that will be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court.

(e) Non-cash expenses to record estimated allowed claim amounts related to rejected executory contracts.

(f) Federal Communications Commission filing and United States Trustee fees directly associated with the reorganization process and the write-off of Predecessor director and officer insurance policies.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense for the Successor Period and for the 2018 Predecessor Period are not comparable, nor is the total interest expense for those periods combined comparable to that of the Predecessor Company six months ended June 30, 2017. During the Successor Period, we recorded interest expense of approximately $6.1 million on $1.3 billion in outstanding debt at an average interest rate of approximately 6.6%. During the 2018 Predecessor Period, the Predecessor Company made adequate protection payments in lieu of interest payments on the Predecessor Term Loan which were recorded as a reduction of the principal balance outstanding. Interest payments were not recorded or paid on the 7.75% Senior Notes while the Company was in Chapter 11. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded and paid interest expense in accordance with the provisions of the then outstanding debt agreements.

The below table details the components of our interest expense by debt instrument (dollars in thousands):

	Successor Company		Predecessor Company

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

The Company’s income tax provision (benefit) and effective tax rate were as follows:

	Successor Company			Predecessor Company
(in thousands, except percentages)	Period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018			Period from January 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018			Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Difference between tax at effective versus statutory rate	$	1,013		$	(285,911	)	$	1,388

The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the Predecessor Company period from January 1, 2018 to June 3, 2018 relates to the income tax exclusion of cancellation of indebtedness income ("CODI") arising from the effectiveness of the Plan, the Company's elections to increase the tax basis in certain assets, statutory state and local income taxes, the impact of non-deductible reorganization costs and other non-deductible expenses and changes to the valuation allowance. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 35% for the Predecessor Company six month period ended June 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to stock option terminations and forfeitures related to the Company’s adoption of the 2017 incentive plan.

In conjunction with the Plan, the Company implemented a series of internal reorganization transactions through which it transferred the assets of Old Cumulus to an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of reorganized Cumulus Media Inc. (see Note 1, “Nature of Business, Interim Financial Data and Basis of Presentation”). The transfer of assets for income tax purposes results in a taxable sale of assets and stock, whereby the Company will receive a step up in the tax basis of a significant portion of the underlying assets transferred, resulting in a future tax benefit.

Segment Results of Operations

The reconciliation of segment Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) is presented in Note 15, "Segment Data" of the notes to the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s financial data by segment is presented in the tables below:

	Period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018 (Successor Company)
	Cumulus Radio Station Group		Westwood One		Corporate and Other		Consolidated
Net revenue	$	68,357	$	26,356	$	291	$	95,004

54

Net revenue for the Successor Period and the Second Quarter 2018 Predecessor Period compared to the Predecessor Company three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased. The decrease resulted primarily from a decline in revenues at the Cumulus Radio Station Group, while Westwood One and Corporate and Other revenue were flat in comparison to the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in revenue at the Cumulus Radio Station Group was primarily driven by decreases in local advertising revenue and the loss of revenue from WLUP. Revenue at Westwood One was negatively impacted by the loss of approximately $0.7 million in revenue related to USTN in the Successor Period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Successor Period and the 2018 Second Quarter Predecessor Period compared to the Predecessor Company three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased. Adjusted EBITDA decreased at Westwood One partially offset by increases at the Cumulus Radio Station Group and Corporate and Other segments, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA at Westwood One decreased primarily as a result of $4.8 million in bad debt expense and lost revenue associated with USTN. Adjusted EBITDA at the Cumulus Radio Group and Corporate and Other increased as a result of lower expenses.

Net revenue for the Successor Period and 2018 Predecessor Period compared to the Predecessor Company six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased. The decrease resulted from a decline in revenues at the Cumulus Radio Station Group, partially offset by an increase at Westwood One, while Corporate and Other revenue was flat. The decrease in revenue at the Cumulus Radio Station Group was primarily driven by decreases in local advertising revenue. The increase in revenue at Westwood One was primarily driven by increases in broadcast and digital revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Successor Period and 2018 Predecessor Period compared to the Predecessor Company six months ended June 30, 2017 increased. Adjusted EBITDA increased at Westwood One and Corporate and Other segments, respectively, partially offset by a decrease at the Cumulus Radio Station Group. Adjusted EBITDA at Westwood One increased as a result of increased revenues and certain lower content expenses, partially offset by the $4.8 million in bad debt expense and lost revenue related to USTN and increases in expenses related to the higher revenue. Adjusted EBITDA at the Cumulus Radio Station Group decreased as a result of a decline in revenue which was partially offset by lower expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As described above, on the Effective Date, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders party thereto were deemed to have provided the Company with a $1.3 billion senior secured Term Loan.

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Alternative Base Rate (as defined below) plus an applicable margin of 3.50%, subject to an Alternative Base Rate floor of 2.00%, or (ii) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.50%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. The Alternative Base Rate is defined, for any day, as the per annum rate equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the rate identified as the “Prime Rate” and normally published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. At June 30, 2018, the Term Loan bore interest at 6.6% per annum.

Amounts outstanding under the Term Loan amortize in equal quarterly installments of 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan with the balance payable on the maturity date. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is May 15, 2022.

58

The Credit Agreement contains representations, covenants and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this nature. Events of default in the Credit Agreement include, among others: (a) the failure to pay when due the obligations owing thereunder; (b) the failure to perform (and not timely remedy, if applicable) certain covenants; (c) certain defaults and accelerations under other indebtedness; (d) the occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency events; (e) certain judgments against Holdings or any of its subsidiaries; (f) the loss, revocation or suspension of, or any material impairment in the ability to use, any one or more of, any material FCC licenses; (g) any representation or warranty made, or report, certificate or financial statement delivered, to the lenders subsequently proven to have been incorrect in any material respect; and (h) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Agent may, with the consent of, or upon the request of, the required lenders, accelerate the Term Loan and exercise any of its rights as a secured party under the Credit Agreement and the ancillary loan documents provided, that in the case of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events with respect to a borrower, the Term Loan will automatically accelerate.

The Credit Agreement does not contain any financial maintenance covenants.

The borrowers may elect, at their option, to prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement without premium or penalty (except that any prepayment during the period of six months following the closing of the Credit Agreement would require a premium equal to 1.00% of the prepaid principal amount). The borrowers may be required to make mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan upon the occurrence of specified events as set forth in the Credit Agreement, including upon the sale of certain assets and from Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Cumulus Media Intermediate Inc. (“Intermediate Holdings”), which is a subsidiary of the Company, and the present and future wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdings that are not borrowers thereunder, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Credit Agreement (the “Guarantors”) and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of Holdings, the subsidiaries of Holdings party to the Credit Agreement as borrowers, and the Guarantors.

On August 17, 2018, Holdings entered into a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to a Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), dated as of August 17, 2018, with certain subsidiaries of Holdings, as borrowers, certain lenders, Intermediate Holdings, as a guarantor, and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as a lender and Administrative Agent.

The Revolving Credit Facility matures on August 17, 2023. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is tied to a borrowing base formula that is based on 85% of the accounts receivable of the borrowers and the guarantors, subject to customary reserves and eligibility criteria. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, up to $10.0 million of availability may be drawn in the form of letters of credit.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the option of Holdings, based on LIBOR plus a percentage spread (ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%) based on the average daily excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility or the Alternative Base Rate (as defined below) plus a percentage spread (ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%) based on the average daily excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Alternative Base Rate is defined, for any day, as the per annum rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the rate identified as the “Prime Rate” and normally published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. In addition, the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% based on the utilization of the facility. As of August 20, 2018, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains representations, covenants and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this nature. Events of default in the Revolving Credit Agreement include, among others: (a) the failure to pay when due the obligations owing thereunder; (b) the failure to perform (and not timely remedy, if applicable) certain covenants; (c) certain defaults and accelerations under other indebtedness; (d) the occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency events; (e) certain judgments against Holdings or any of its subsidiaries; (f) the loss, revocation or suspension of, or any material impairment in the ability to use, any one or more of, any material Federal Communications Commission licenses; (g) any representation or warranty made, or report, certificate or financial statement delivered, to the lenders subsequently proven to have been incorrect in any material respect; and (h) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans and exercise any of their rights under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the ancillary loan documents as a secured party.

59

The Revolving Credit Agreement does not contain any financial maintenance covenants with which the Company must comply. However, if average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is less than the greater of (a) 12.50% of the total commitments thereunder or (b) $5.0 million, the Company must comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0.

Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Intermediate Holdings and the present and future wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdings that are not borrowers thereunder, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolver Guarantors”) and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of Holdings, the subsidiaries of Holdings party to the Credit Agreement as borrowers, and the Revolver Guarantors.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2018, all $1.3 billion of our long-term debt bore interest at a variable rate. Accordingly, our earnings and after-tax cash flow are subject to change based on changes in interest rates and could be materially affected, depending on the timing and amount of any interest rate changes. Assuming the current level of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2018 at variable interest rates and assuming a one percentage point increase (decrease) in the current rate, it is estimated on an annual basis interest expense would increase (decrease) and net income would decrease (increase) by $13.0 million.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the “Exchange Act”) designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including, our President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) the principal executive and principal financial officers, respectively, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2018.

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the three months ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

In August 2015, the Company was named as a defendant in two separate putative class action lawsuits relating to its use and public performance of certain sound recordings fixed prior to February 15, 1972 (the "Pre-1972 Recordings"). The first suit, ABS Entertainment, Inc., et. al. v, Cumulus Media Inc., was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and alleged, among other things, copyright infringement under California state law, common law conversion, misappropriation and unfair business practices. On December 11, 2015, this suit was dismissed without prejudice. The second suit, ABS Entertainment, Inc., v. Cumulus Media Inc., was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and claimed, among other things, common law copyright infringement and unfair competition. The New York lawsuit was stayed pending an appeal before the Second Circuit involving unrelated third parties over whether the owner of a Pre-1972 Recording holds an exclusive right to publicly perform that recording under New York common law. On December 20, 2016, the New York Court of Appeals held that New York common law does not recognize a right of public performance for owners of pre-1972 Recordings. As a result of that case (to which Cumulus Media Inc. was not a party) the New York case against Cumulus Media Inc., was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs on April 3, 2017. The question of whether public performance rights exist for Pre-1972 recordings under state law is still being litigated in the Ninth Circuit as a result of a case filed in California. Cumulus is not a party to that case, and the Company is not yet able to determine what effect that proceeding will have, if any, on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

The Company currently is, and expects that from time to time in the future it will be, party to, or a defendant in, various other claims or lawsuits that are generally incidental to its business. The Company expects that it will vigorously contest any such claims or lawsuits and believes that the ultimate resolution of any such known claim or lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

62

Item 1A.Risk Factors

Please refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our 2017 Annual Report for information regarding known material risks that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Except with respect to the effectiveness of the Plan and our emergence from bankruptcy, these known risks have not changed materially. In addition to these risks, other risks that we presently do not consider material, or other unknown risks, could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations in future periods.

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On May 21, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase, from time to time, of up to $75.0 million of our Class A common stock, subject to the terms and limitations obtained in any applicable agreements and compliance with other applicable legal requirements. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we did not repurchase any shares of our Class A common stock.

To request a Swing Line Loan, the Borrower Agent shall deliver, by hand delivery, email through a “pdf” copy or facsimile transmission (or transmit by other electronic transmission if arrangements for doing so have been approved in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line

46

AMERICAS 94977503

Lender), a duly completed and executed Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), on the Business Day of a proposed Swing Line Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan. Each Swing Line Loan shall be an ABR Loan (and may not be converted into a Eurodollar Loan). The Swing Line Lender shall make each Swing Line Loan available to the relevant Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the relevant Borrower with the Swing Line Lender, if any, or otherwise to an account as directed by the Borrower Agent in the applicable Notice of Borrowing (or, in the case of a Swing Line Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as expressly permitted herein, by remittance to the Issuing Bank). The Swing Line Lender shall endeavor to fund each Swing Line Loan by 3:00 p.m., New York City time and shall in all events fund each Swing Line Loan validly requested in accordance with the terms hereof by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swing Line Loan. The Borrower Agent shall not request a Swing Line Loan if at the time of or immediately after giving effect to the Borrowing contemplated by such request a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would immediately thereafter result therefrom. Swing Line Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 above such amount. Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower Agent to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Swing Line Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, 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 or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Agent, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrowers hereby waive the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or the Swing Line Lender’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error.

(iii)Prepayment. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay, without prepayment or penalty, any Swing Line Loan, in whole or in part, upon the Borrower Agent giving written notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of repayment.

(iv)Participations. The Swing Line Lender may at any time in its discretion, and shall on at least a weekly basis, when any Swing Line Loan is outstanding, by written notice given to the Administrative Agent (provided such notice requirement shall not apply if the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent are the same entity) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day following such notice require the Lenders to fund their participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans in which Lenders will fund their participation. Promptly upon receipt of such

47

AMERICAS 94977503

notice (if required), the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage (calculated without regard to any reduction thereof is a result of an exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 9 or any termination of Commitments after the incurrence of such Swing Line Loan as a result of the occurrence of the Maturity Date with respective Class of Commitments, except the extent otherwise provided in clause (vii) below) of such Swing Line Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Line Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage (calculated as provided above) of such Swing Line Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including (but not limited to) the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or a reduction or termination of Commitments (except as otherwise expressly provided in clause (vii) below), and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.4 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.4 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swing Line Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders; providedthat the Lender who is the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to have funded its Pro Rata Percentage automatically without further funding. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent of any funding of participations in any Swing Line Loan by the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter (and to such extent) payments in respect of such Swing Line Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swing Line Lender. Any amounts received by the Swing Line Lender from any Borrower (or other party on behalf of any Borrower) in respect of a Swing Line Loan after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of the proceeds of a funding of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent. Any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

(v)Resignation and Replacement of the Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender may resign as Swing Line Lender hereunder at any time (x) upon at least thirty days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent or (y) as provided in Section 10.5(c). Following such notice of resignation from the Swing Line Lender, the Swing Line Lender may be replaced (with a Lender or Administrative Agent who agrees to act as Swing Line Lender at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Agent (with the Borrower Agent’s agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Administrative Agent and the successor Swing Line Lender. The Administrative

48

AMERICAS 94977503

Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swing Line Lender. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees and interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swing Line Lender. From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement, (i) the successor Swing Line Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans to be made by it thereafter and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Swing Line Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swing Line Lenders, or to such successor and all previous Swing Line Lenders, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of the Swing Line Lender hereunder, the replaced Swing Line Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swing Line Loans.

(vi)Payments of Principal and Interest. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower Agent for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its ABR Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(vii)Provisions related to Expiring Commitments when one or more Classes of Commitments with longer Maturity Dates will remain Outstanding; and Non-Pro Rata Reductions to Classes of Commitments.

(A)If the Maturity Date shall have occurred in respect of any Class of Commitments (the “Expiring Revolving Credit Commitment”) at a time when another Class or Classes of Commitments is or are in effect with a longer Maturity Date (each, a “Non‑Expiring Revolving Credit Commitment” and collectively, the “Non‑Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments”), then with respect to each outstanding Swing Line Loan, if consented to by the applicable Swing Line Lender, on the earliest occurring Maturity Date such Swing Line Loan shall be deemed reallocated to the Class or Classes of the Non‑Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis; provided that (x) to the extent that the amount of such reallocation would cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Class of Non-Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments to exceed the aggregate amount of such Non‑Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments, immediately prior to such reallocation the amount of Swing Line Loans to be reallocated equal to such excess shall be repaid in cash and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers shall still be obligated to pay Swing Line Loans allocated to the Lenders holding the Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments at the Maturity Date of the Expiring Revolving Credit Commitment or if the respective Loans of such Class have been accelerated prior to the Maturity Date of the Expiring

49

AMERICAS 94977503

Revolving Credit Commitments. Commencing with the Maturity Date of any Class of Commitments, the sublimit for Swing Line Loans shall be agreed solely with the Swing Line Lender.

(B)If at any time there are outstanding Commitments of more than one Class, and at such time any reduction to outstanding Commitments pursuant to (and in accordance with) Section 3 occurs, then concurrently therewith there shall be deemed to occur (automatically) an adjustment to the participations of the Lenders in all outstanding Swing Line Loans so that each Lender participates therein (on a prospective basis) to reflect its new Pro Rata Percentage after giving effect to such reduction to Commitments.

(d)Letters of Credit.

(i)General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Agent may request each Issuing Bank, and each Issuing Bank agrees, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time at any time prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date as then in effect. No Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, and the Borrower Agent shall not request the issuance of, any Letter of Credit at any time if after giving effect to such issuance (w) the LC Exposure would exceed the LC Sublimit or the LC Exposure of any Issuing Bank would exceed its LC Commitment, (x) the total Revolving Exposure of all Lenders would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments, (y) the total Revolving Exposure of all applicable Lenders attributable to any Class of Commitments would exceed the aggregate amount of such Commitments or (z) in the case of any Letter of Credit which will mature after the Maturity Date of one or more Classes of Commitments but before the Maturity Date of one or more other Classes of Commitments, the aggregate LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit which will mature after such Maturity Dates shall not exceed the Commitments attributable to later maturing Classes which will remain in effect after such Maturity Dates excluding any LC Exposure which has been backstopped or Cash Collateralized in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower Agent to, or entered into by any Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(ii)Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions and Notices. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, the Borrower Agent shall deliver by hand or email through a “pdf” copy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank), an LC Request to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the third Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or such later date and time as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank).

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

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

(J)the expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the close of business on the earlier of (x) the date which is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or as otherwise extended pursuant to the LC Extension);

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

(L)such other customary matters as the Issuing Bank reasonably may require.

If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower Agent also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and, upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or

51

AMERICAS 94977503

extension, (i) the amount of the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit and the amount of the LC Exposure of each Issuing Bank shall not exceed its LC Commitment, (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments and the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the Line Cap, (iii) the total Revolving Exposure attributable to any Class of Commitments would exceed the aggregate amount of such Commitments, (iv) in the case of any Letter of Credit which will mature but after the Maturity Date of one or more Classes of Commitments but before the Maturity Date of one or more other Classes of Commitments, the aggregate LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit which will mature after such Maturity Dates shall not exceed the Commitments attributable to later maturing Classes which will remain in effect after such Maturity Dates and (v) the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 in respect of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension shall have been satisfied. Unless the applicable Issuing Bank shall agree otherwise, no Letter of Credit shall be in an initial amount less than $100,000 or, with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Dollar Equivalent amount thereof.

Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (and in the case of an issuance of a new Letter of Credit, or an increase or decrease in the stated amount of an existing Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof), which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit (and in the case of an issuance of a new Letter of Credit, or an increase or decrease in the stated amount of an existing Letter of Credit, the notice to each Lender shall include a copy of such Letter of Credit also and the Dollar Equivalent amount of each such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(iv)).

(iii)Expiration Date.

(A)Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (x) the date which is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, an Issuing Bank, in its sole discretion, may agree to extend such Letter of Credit beyond such date (the “LC Extension”) upon the Borrowers either (i) providing such Issuing Bank funds equal to 103% of the LC Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit for deposit in a Cash Collateral account which Cash Collateral account will be held by the Issuing Bank as a pledged Cash Collateral account and applied to reimbursement of all drafts submitted under such outstanding Letter of Credit or (ii) delivering to such Issuing Bank one or more letters of credit for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion.

52

AMERICAS 94977503

(B)If the Borrower Agent so requests in any LC Request, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto‑Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto‑Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower Agent shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto‑Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the earlier of (i) one year from the date of such renewal and (ii) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless otherwise extended pursuant to the LC Extension; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if (x) the Issuing Bank has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.1(d)(xiii) or otherwise), or (y) it has received notice on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date which has been agreed upon pursuant to the proviso of the first sentence of this paragraph, (1) from the Administrative Agent that any Lender directly affected thereby has elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 are not then satisfied.

(iv)Participations.

(A)By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, an Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably grants to each Lender with a Commitment then in effect, and each such Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage (determined at the time of issuance or increase to the respective Letter of Credit, adjusted for assignments and as may be further adjusted pursuant to following clause (B)) of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.1(d), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the relevant Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be

53

AMERICAS 94977503

affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, or expiration, termination or Cash Collateralization of any Letter of Credit and that each such payment shall be made in the same currency as the applicable Letter of Credit, without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(B)Provisions Related to Expiring Commitments when one or more Classes of Commitments with Longer Maturity Dates will Remain Outstanding; and Non-Pro Rata Reductions to Classes of Commitments.

(1)If the Maturity Date shall have occurred in respect to any Class of Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments at a time one or more Non-Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments remain in effect, then with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit, on the earliest occurring Maturity Date the participations in such Letter of Credit previously attributable to the respective Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed reallocated to the Class or Classes of Non-Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis; provided that (x) to the extent that the amount of such reallocation would cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Class of Non-Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments to exceed the aggregate amount of such Non-Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments, such reallocation shall not occur and the respective such exposure shall be required to be Cash Collateralized as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(d)(iii)(A) and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no such reallocation shall occur and the Borrowers shall be required to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit (to the extent participated in by Lenders with Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments) as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(d)(iii)(A).

(2)If at any time there are outstanding Commitments of more than one Class, and at such time any reduction to outstanding Commitments pursuant to (and in accordance with) Section 3 occurs, then concurrently therewith there shall be deemed to occur (automatically) an adjustment to the participations of the Lenders in all outstanding Letters of Credit so that each Lender participates therein (on a prospective basis) to reflect its new Pro Rata Percentage after giving effect to such reduction to Commitments.

(v)Reimbursement.

(A)If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall, in each case in the same currency as the applicable Letter of Credit, reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to such Issuing Bank an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is one Business Day immediately following the date that such LC Disbursement is made if the

54

AMERICAS 94977503

Borrower Agent shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date when such LC Disbursement was made, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower Agent prior to such time on such date, then not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower Agent receives such notice; provided that the Borrower Agent may, subject to the conditions to Borrowing set forth herein, request that such payment be financed with Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans.

(B)If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, such Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the amount of the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Lender shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement in the same manner as provided in Section 2.4 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders; provided, that if the Issuing Bank is also a Lender, such Lender shall be deemed to have funded its Pro Rata Percentage automatically without further funding. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrowers pursuant to the above paragraph prior to the time that any Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as appropriate.

(C)If any Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, each of such Lender and the Borrowers, jointly and severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with the foregoing to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the rate per annum set forth in (viii) below and (ii) in the case of such Lender, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the

55

AMERICAS 94977503

Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.

(vi)Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers as provided in Section 2.1(d)(v) shall be joint and several, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein; (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that fails to strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.1, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder; (v) the fact that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (vi) any material adverse change in the business, property, results of operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of Intermediate Holdings and its Subsidiaries; or (vii) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the relevant Issuing Bank. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal)), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole reasonable discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make

56

AMERICAS 94977503

payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(vii)Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly give written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder and the currency thereof; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligation to the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of payment of such Reimbursement Obligation set forth in Section 2.1(d)(v)).

(viii)Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest payable on demand, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as ABR Loans for a period of three Business Days from the date of such LC Disbursement, and at the rate per annum determined pursuant to Section 4.7(c) thereafter. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(v) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(ix)Cash Collateralization. If (1) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Agent receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or (2) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any LC Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, in each case, the Borrowers shall immediately deposit on terms and in accounts satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the Dollar Equivalent of 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 9(f). In addition to the forgoing requirements, on any Maturity Date which is not the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, if any LC Obligation remains outstanding which is participated in by Lenders whose Commitments have terminated (without a full reallocation of such participation to later maturing Commitments as provided in clause (B) or Section 2.1(d)(iv)) the Borrowers shall immediately deposit on terms and in accounts satisfactory to the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date which is participated in by Lenders whose

57

AMERICAS 94977503

Commitments have terminated (without reallocation to later maturing Commitments) plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Funds so deposited shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement; provided that funds deposited pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied to only those reimbursement Obligations participated in by the respective Lenders described in the immediately preceding sentence until such time as such Lenders have no further participation in outstanding Letters of Credit (unless otherwise consented to by such Lenders). If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the existence of an Event of Default, such amount plus any accrued interest or realized profits with respect to such amounts (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the relevant Borrowers within five Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(x)Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower Agent may, at any time and from time to time, designate one or more additional Lenders or Affiliates of Lenders to act as an Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit under the terms of this Agreement, with the consent of each of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and such Issuing Bank; provided, that any such Lender may accept or decline such designation in its sole discretion. Any Lender designated as an Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit pursuant to this paragraph (x) shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by it, and all references in the Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Lender in its capacity as the Issuing Bank, as the context shall require. If at any time there is more than one Issuing Bank hereunder, the Borrower Agent may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Bank is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.

(xi)Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank hereunder at any time upon at least thirty days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent. An Issuing Bank may be replaced or removed at any time by the Borrower by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the replaced or removed Issuing Bank (and, in the case of a replacement, with the agreement of the replacement Issuing Bank). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such resignation, replacement or removal of such Issuing Bank or any such additional Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation, replacement or removal shall become effective, the Borrower Agent shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the resigning, replaced or removed Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 4.10(c). From and after the effective date of any such resignation, replacement or removal, as applicable, (i) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter

58

AMERICAS 94977503

and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or such addition or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or such addition and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(xii)Issuing Bank. Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 10.2 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by any Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 10 included each Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Bank. Each Issuing Bank may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(xiii)Other. An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or

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

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

(e)Protective Advances.

(i)Subject to the limitations set forth below (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2), the Administrative Agent is authorized by

59

AMERICAS 94977503

the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion in the exercise of its commercially reasonable judgment (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Loans to the Borrowers, on behalf of all Lenders at any time that any condition precedent set forth in Section 6. 2 has not been satisfied or waived, which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 11.5) and other sums, in each case to the extent due and payable (and not in dispute by the Borrower (acting in good faith)) under the Loan Documents (each such Loan, a “Protective Advance”). Any Protective Advance may be made in a principal amount that would cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure to exceed the Line Cap; provided that no Protective Advance may be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such Protective Advance (together with the outstanding principal amount of any outstanding Protective Advances), the aggregate principal amount of Protective Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed 10% of the Line Cap as determined on the date of such proposed Protective Advance; and provided, further, that the aggregate amount of Borrowings (including the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances) shall not exceed the Total Revolving Commitment. No Protective Advance may remain outstanding for more than thirty days without the consent of the Required Lenders unless a liquidation is taking place. Each Protective Advance shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. The making of a Protective Advance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Administrative Agent to make any Protective Advance on any other occasion. At any time that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2 have been satisfied or waived, the Administrative Agent may request the Lenders to make a Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time, the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.1(e)(ii).

(ii)Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Pro Rata Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all

60

AMERICAS 94977503

proceeds of Collateral (if any) received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

2.Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing

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

3.Notice of Borrowing

.

(a)If any Borrower desires to incur the Loans (or portions thereof) as (x) Eurodollar Loans hereunder, the Borrower Agent shall give the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days (or, with respect to Eurodollar Loans to be made on the Effective Date, such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior notice of the Eurodollar Loans to be incurred hereunder, (y) ABR Loans hereunder (excluding Swing Line Loans, which notice shall be delivered in accordance with Section 2.1(c)(ii)), the Borrower Agent shall give the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s (or, with respect to ABR Loans to be made on the Effective Date, such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior notice of the ABR Loans to be incurred hereunder, provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such day. Each such notice (the “Notice of Borrowing”), shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, substantially in the form of Exhibit N, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing, (ii) the Class of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (iii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as ABR Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans or and, if Eurodollar Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto and (v) the applicable account details for the applicable Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans of the Class 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 Agent to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender 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 or such Swing Line Lender in good faith to be from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Agent, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrowers hereby waive the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or Swing Line Lender’s, as applicable, record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error.

61

AMERICAS 94977503

(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower Agent shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the applicable Latest Maturity Date.

4.Disbursement of Funds

. No later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or in the case of Swing Line Loans, as provided in Section 2.1(c)(ii)), each Lender with a Commitment of the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 4.16) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender will make available the full amount thereof). 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 to the Administrative Agent, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders; provided that, if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, there are LC Disbursements or Swing Line Loans then outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such LC Disbursements with respect to Letters of Credit, second, to the payment in full of any Swing Line Loans and third, to the Borrower as otherwise provided above; provided further, that a Protective Advance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent to be applied as contemplated by Section 2.1(e) (and the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower Agent a reasonably detailed accounting of such application). 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 Borrowers 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 Agent and the Borrower Agent 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 Agent, 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 any of the Borrowers 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 Bank Funding Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrowers, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 4.7 and 4.8. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

5.Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments

.

62

AMERICAS 94977503

(a)At any time and from time to time prior to the Latest Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Agent may by no less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (or such lesser number of days as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), request one or more increases of the amount of the Commitments under the then existing Revolving Facility (including increases of the amount of the LC Commitments and/or the LC Sublimit, if agreed to by each Issuing Bank in its sole discretion) (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility”) denominated in Dollars (the revolving loans extended thereunder, the “Incremental Revolving Loans”), or a combination thereof; provided that:

(i)immediately before and after giving effect to each Incremental Amendment and the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom and the representations and warranties in Section 5 shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that (x) any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects and (y) any representation and warranty which expressly relates to an earlier date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided that (A) to the extent the proceeds of any Incremental Revolving Facility are intended to be applied to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted under Section 8.7 that constitutes the acquisition by New Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries of the outstanding Capital Stock of any Person, or of all or substantially all of the assets of any Person or of a division or line of business of any Persons, if agreed to by the Additional Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Facility, (x) the only representations and warranties that will be required to be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any representations and warranties qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) as of the applicable closing date for such Incremental Revolving Facility shall be customary “specified representations” (as determined by the Borrower Agent and Additional Incremental Lenders) and such of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the applicable acquired company or business in the applicable acquisition or other agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that New Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such acquisition or other agreement or not consummate such acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations or warranties in such acquisition agreement) and (y) the only condition with respect to absence of a Default or Event of Default shall be the absence of an Event of Default at the time such acquisition or similar agreement is entered into;

(ii)the aggregate amount of Incremental Revolving Facilities outstanding on any date shall not exceed $50,000,000;

(iii)in the event that the Yield for any Incremental Revolving Facility incurred is higher than the Yield for the Initial Revolving Loans, then the Applicable Margin for the Initial Revolving Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Yield for the Initial Revolving Loans is equal to the Yield for such Incremental Revolving Facility; and

63

AMERICAS 94977503

(iv) each Incremental Revolving Facility shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000, provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Revolving Facilities set forth above. Any Lenders participating in an Incremental Revolving Facility, unless then a Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank.

(b)Each Incremental Revolving Facility:

(i)shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents and shall rank paripassu in right of payment and in respect of the Collateral and with the Obligations in respect of the Commitments made available to the Borrowers, and shall not benefit from any guarantees other than from the Guarantors under the Revolving Facility or be secured by any asset other than the Collateral; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, all amounts owing to the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank with respect to any Swing Line Loans or Letters of Credit participated in by Lenders holding Commitments as described above shall rank paripassu with all such amounts owing to the Swing Line Lender or Issuing Bank with respect to the Initial Revolving Loan Commitments and any other Commitments secured equally and ratably therewith;

(ii)for purposes of prepayments, Incremental Revolving Facilities (A) shall be treated in the same manner as the Initial Revolving Loans and (B) shall be subject to customary “waterfall” provisions;

(iii)all other terms of such Incremental Revolving Facilities shall be on the same terms applicable to the existing Revolving Facility (including the maturity date in respect thereof) and pursuant to the same documentation applicable to the existing Revolving Facility (other than the relevant Incremental Amendment); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower Agent determines to increase the interest rate or fees payable in respect of Incremental Revolving Facilities or Incremental Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, such increase shall be permitted if the interest rate or fees payable in respect of the other Commitments or Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, as applicable, shall be increased to equal such interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Incremental Revolving Facilities or Incremental Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, as the case may be.

(c)Each notice from the Borrower Agent pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility. Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to provide Commitments under an Incremental Revolving Facility shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Agent, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender, such consent of each Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender to be required, in each case, to the extent required under Section 11.6(c) (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Incremental Lender”) and, if

64

AMERICAS 94977503

not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers, such Additional Incremental Lender (in the case of this Agreement and, as appropriate, any other Loan Document, as applicable) and the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Commitments under an Incremental Revolving Facility, unless it so agrees (and any Lender that does not respond shall be conclusively presumed not to agree to provide additional Commitments). Commitments in respect of any Incremental Revolving Facilities shall become Commitments under this Agreement. An Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section (including to provide for voting provisions applicable to the Additional Incremental Lenders comparable to the provisions of Section 11.1). The proceeds of any Loans under an Incremental Revolving Facility will be used, directly or indirectly, for working capital and/or general corporate purposes and/or any other purposes not prohibited hereunder (including, without limitation, Restricted Payments and acquisitions).

(d)Each Lender in respect of any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be an Eligible Assignee.

(e)This Section 2.5 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.16 or 11.1 to the contrary

6.Cash Receipts

.

(a)Attached hereto as Schedule 2.6(a) is a schedule of all DDAs, that are maintained by the Loan Parties, which Schedule includes, with respect to each depository, (i) the account number(s) maintained with such depository, (ii) the name of the depository and (iii) the name of the Loan Party that maintains such DDA.

(b)Within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), each applicable Loan Party will enter into a blocked account agreement (each, a “Blocked Account Agreement”), reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with respect to the DDAs existing as of the Effective Date listed on Schedule 2.6(b) attached hereto, other than any such account that is an Excluded Account (collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”). After entering into the Blocked Account Agreement, there shall be at all times thereafter at least one Blocked Account.

(c)Each Blocked Account Agreement entered into by a Loan Party shall, subject to the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, permit the Administrative Agent to instruct the depository, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event (and delivery of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent), to transfer on each Business Day of all available cash receipts to a concentration account maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent (the “Concentration Account”), from:

(i)the sale of Collateral;

(ii)all proceeds of collections of Accounts; and

(iii)each Blocked Account (including all cash deposited therein from each DDA).

If, at any time during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, any cash or Cash

65

AMERICAS 94977503

Equivalents that are ABL Priority Collateral (or proceeds thereof) owned by any Loan Party are deposited to any account, or held or invested in any manner, otherwise than in a Blocked Account that is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement (other than Excluded Accounts), the Administrative Agent may require the applicable Loan Party to close such account and have all funds therein transferred to a Blocked Account, and all future deposits made to a Blocked Account which is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties shall provide the Administrative Agent with an accounting of the contents of the Blocked Accounts, which shall identify, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, the proceeds from the ABL Priority Collateral which were deposited into a Blocked Account and swept to the Concentration Account.

(d)The Loan Parties may close DDAs or Blocked Accounts and/or open new DDAs or Blocked Accounts, subject to the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of appropriate Blocked Account Agreements (except with respect to Excluded Accounts) consistent with and to the extent required by the provisions of this Section 2.6 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower Agent shall provide the Administrative Agent with prior written notice of its intention to open or close a Blocked Account and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Agent as to whether the Administrative Agent shall require a Blocked Account Agreement with the Person with whom any such new account will be maintained (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not require a Blocked Account Agreement with respect to any Excluded Account).

(e)The Loan Parties may also maintain one or more disbursement accounts to be used by the Loan Parties for disbursements and payments (including payroll) in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted hereunder.

(f)The Concentration Account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Loan Party has no right of withdrawal from the Concentration Account, (ii) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall at all times continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations, and (iii) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall be applied as provided in this Agreement. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.6, during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Event, any Loan Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any such proceeds or collections related to Collateral, such proceeds and collections shall, subject to the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, be held in trust by such Loan Party for the Administrative Agent, shall not be commingled with any of such Loan Party’s other funds or deposited in any account of such Loan Party and shall promptly be deposited into the Concentration Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Loan Party may be instructed by the Administrative Agent.

(g)So long as no Cash Dominion Event has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Parties may, subject to the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, direct, and shall have sole control over, the manner of disposition of funds in the Blocked Accounts.

(h)Subject to Section 4.6(b), any amounts received in the Concentration Account at any time when all of the Obligations then due have been and remain fully repaid shall, subject

66

AMERICAS 94977503

to the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, be remitted to the operating account of the Loan Parties.

SECTION 3.REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF COMMITMENTS

(a)At its option, the Borrower Agent may at any time terminate, or from time to time, without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 4.19), and permanently reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an integral multiple of $500,000 and be in an amount that is not less than $1,000,000, (ii) the Commitments of any Class shall not be terminated or reduced if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 4.5 (and any adjustment of participations in then outstanding Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(c) and/or (d) as applicable), the aggregate amount of the Revolving Exposures of such Class would exceed the aggregate amount of Commitments of such Class, and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the LC Sublimit or the Swing Line Commitment exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments or the LC Commitment of any Issuing Bank exceeds its Commitment, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess, and (iv) each such reduction shall apply pro rata to all Classes of Commitments (except to the extent a Class has expressly agreed to accept a less than prorata reduction in accordance with the terms hereof).

(b)The Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 3(a) not later than 2:00 p.m. one Business Day (or, in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans, three Business Days or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Agent pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower Agent may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of any such other credit facilities or the closing of any such securities offering, or the occurrence of any other event specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Agent (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. With respect to the effectiveness of any such other credit facilities or the closing of any such securities offering, the Borrower Agent may extend the date of termination at any time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

(c)The total Commitments of each Class shall terminate on the Maturity Date applicable thereto.

SECTION 4.OTHER PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO REVOLVING LOANS

1.[Reserved]

.

2.Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt

. (a) The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent (i) for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender (other than

67

AMERICAS 94977503

Incremental Revolving Loans and Extended Revolving Loans), which in the case of (A) the Initial Revolving Loans, shall be repaid on the Initial Maturity Date and (B) the Swing Line Loans, shall be repaid on the earlier of the first Maturity Date after the making thereof and the fifth Business Day after such Swing Line Loan is made (provided that on each such date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swing Line Loans that are outstanding on the date such Borrowing is requested), (ii) for the account of each Additional Incremental Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of any Incremental Revolving Loans made by each Additional Incremental Lender (A) in the currency in which the relevant Incremental Revolving Loan was made, subject to the requirements of Section 2.5 and (B) to the extent not previously paid, which shall be due and payable on the Initial Maturity Date and (iii) for the account of each applicable Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of any Extended Revolving Loan of such Lender, (1) in accordance with the relevant Extension, subject to the requirements of Section 4.24 and (2) to the extent not previously paid, which shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date applicable to such Extended Revolving Loan as provided in the relevant Extension, or, in each of clauses (i) through (iii) above, the then unpaid principal amount of any or all (or a portion thereof) of the Initial Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Loans, on the date that any or all (or a portion thereof) of the Initial Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Loans, as applicable, become due and payable pursuant to Section 9. The Borrowers hereby further agree to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 4.7.

(a)The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans of any Class under a Tranche made by a Lender shall, if requested by such Lender, be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and promptly delivered by the Borrowers substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1 (in the case of Revolving Loans, each a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”) or Exhibit P-2 (in the case of Swing Line Loans, each a “Swing Line Note” and, collectively, the “Swing Line Notes”), as the case may be.

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

(c)The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type and Class thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) any Notes issued in respect thereof and (vi) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d)The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 4.2(c) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, however, that (i) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers

68

AMERICAS 94977503

to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans under a Tranche to the Borrowers shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrowers to pay the Loans under such Tranche (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 guarantees therefor provided pursuant to the various Loan Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in Section 4.2(c). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans under a Tranche, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

3.Conversion Options

The Borrower Agent may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans into ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice of such election in the form of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, to be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at least three Working Days prior to the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower Agent may elect from time to time to convert all or a portion of the ABR Loans then outstanding to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice of such election in the form of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, to be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at least three Working Days prior to the proposed conversion date, specifying the Interest Period selected therefor, and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such conversion shall be made on the requested conversion date or, if such requested conversion date is not a Working Day, on the next succeeding Working Day. Upon receipt of any Conversion/Continuation Notice pursuant to this Section 4.3, the Administrative Agent shall promptly, but in any event by 4:00 P.M., New York City time, notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of the outstanding Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) partial conversions of Loans shall be in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the resulting Eurodollar Loans outstanding in respect of any one Interest Period shall be at least $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) no more than seven (7) Interest Periods shall be in effect at any one time with respect to Eurodollar Loans.

the date, the amount of prepayment, the Class and the Tranche of the prepayment of Loans; provided that Eurodollar Loans prepaid on other than the last day of any Interest Period with respect thereto shall be prepaid subject to the provisions of Section 4.19. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If such notice is given, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein. Accrued interest on any Notes or on the amount of any Loans paid in full pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be paid on the date of such prepayment. Accrued interest on the amount of any partial prepayment shall be paid on the date of such partial prepayment. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (A) $1,500,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (B) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, as the case may be.

(a)[Reserved].

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower Agent may rescind any notice of prepayment under this Section 4.5 if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Loans, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(f)In the event that the aggregate LC Exposure exceeds the LC Sublimit then in effect or the aggregate LC Exposure of any Issuing Bank exceeds its LC Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately, at the Borrower Agent’s option, either replace outstanding Letters of Credit or Cash Collateralize or backstop outstanding Letters of Credit, in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(g)Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 4.6 shall be applied without premium or penalty to outstanding Loans under each Tranche of Loans on a pro rata basis, provided that no permanent reduction in Commitments shall result therefrom (or, in each case, if agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders of a Tranche of Loans, in a manner that provides for more favorable prepayment treatment of other Tranches of Loans, so long as each other such Tranche receives its pro rata share of any amount to be applied more favorably, except to the extent otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders of each Tranche receiving less than such pro rata share). All amounts to be applied as required by clauses (e) through (g) of this Section 4.6 shall be applied as provided therein, with all payments to any Class of Commitments to be applied on a pro rata basis to such Class.

(h)[Reserved].

(i)With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 4.6, the Borrower Agent may designate, within each respective Class to be repaid, the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which such Eurodollar Loans were

71

AMERICAS 94977503

made, provided that: (i) unless the Borrower Agent complies with the provisions of Section 4.19, repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 4.6 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all ABR Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar 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 ABR Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans.

In the absence of a designation by the Borrower Agent as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

(j)[Reserved]

(k)New Holdings and its Subsidiaries will undertake to use all commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any such restrictions on repatriation set forth in clause (j) above and/or minimize any such costs of prepayment to make the relevant prepayment, even if the Borrowers do not intend to actually repatriate such cash.

(a)ABR Loans shall bear interest for the period from and including the date thereof until maturity thereof on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9(f) or, at the election of the Required Lenders, if all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any of the Loans or (ii) any interest payable thereon or any fees or other amounts, shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), any overdue amount under the Loan Documents shall (to the extent otherwise bearing interest hereunder), without limiting the rights of the Lenders under Section 9, bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal, 2% above the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section or (y) in the case of overdue interest, fees and other amounts that otherwise bear interest hereunder, 2% above the rate described in paragraph (b) of this Section, in each case, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

72

AMERICAS 94977503

(c)Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

8.Computation of Interest and Fees

.

(a) Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, Interest in respect of ABR Loans at any time the ABR is calculated based on the Prime Rate and all fees hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366, as the case may be, day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest in respect of Eurodollar Loans and ABR Loans at any time the ABR is not calculated based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the ABR becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change.

(a)Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the written request of the Borrower Agent, deliver to the Borrower Agent a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining the Eurodollar Rate.

10.Certain Fees

.

(a)Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees set forth in the Engagement Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein. Such fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever and will be in addition to the reimbursement of the Administrative Agent’s out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with Section 11.5.

(b)Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent a fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) for the account of each Lender in an amount equal to:

(i)the average daily balance of the Commitment of such Lender during the respective period for which the Unused Commitment Fee is being determined (the “Average Total Commitment”), less

(ii)the sum of, without duplication, (x) the average daily balance of all Loans held by such Lender (provided, that the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of calculating the Unused Commitment Fee) plus (y) the average daily amount of LC Obligations held by such Lender, in each case, during the respective period for which the Unused Commitment

73

AMERICAS 94977503

Fee is being determined (the Average Total Commitment less the amount provided in this clause (ii) above, the “Average Utilization”);

(iii)multiplied by the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage;

provided,that (x) to the extent the foregoing relate to any Commitments other than Initial Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings), the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage applicable thereto shall be subject to modification as agreed by the respective Lenders providing such Commitments and as notified by them to the Administrative Agent at the time of the establishment thereof, and (y) no Unused Commitment Fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

The total fee paid by the Borrowers under this Section 4.10(b) will be equal to the sum of all of the fees due to the Lenders. Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of the first calendar quarter ended following the date hereof and the last Business Day of each calendar quarter thereafter. The Unused Commitment Fee provided in this Section 4.10(b) shall accrue at all times from and after the Effective Date.

(c)LC Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (excluding any Defaulting Lender) a participation fee (“LC Participation Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable Margin applicable to Eurodollar Loans under the Commitments then in effect on the actual daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure; provided that during any period during which default rate interest is applicable under Section 4.7(c), the percentage referred to in preceding clause (i) shall be the Applicable Margin applicable to Eurodollar Loans under the Commitments then in effect, plus 2% per annum, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee (“Fronting Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the termination date of such Letter of Credit, which shall accrue at an amount to be agreed but in any event not to exceed 0.125% on the Dollar Equivalent of the actual daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s reasonable and customary fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and (ii) on the date on which the Commitments terminate and, if later, on the date upon which all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank have expired.

15.Inability to Determine Interest Rate for Eurodollar Loans

.

(a)In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period (including because the Eurodollar Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) with respect to (x) any Eurodollar Loans that will result from the requested conversion of all or part of ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans or (y) the continuation of any Eurodollar Loan as such for an additional Interest Period, (ii) the Required Lenders shall have determined (and notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such determination) (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for any Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders constituting the Required Lenders of maintaining their affected Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally or (iii) the Required Lenders shall have determined (and notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such determination) (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant period with respect to any such Eurodollar Loan are not available to any of the Lenders in their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices’ interbank eurodollar market, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Borrower Agent and the Lenders at least one day prior to, as the case may be, the conversion date or the last day of such Interest Period. If such notice is given, (A) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (B) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted,

75

AMERICAS 94977503

on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, into ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made and no ABR Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Loans.

(b)If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor or the administrator of the Eurodollar Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurodollar Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 4.15(b), only to the extent the Eurodollar Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any requested Eurodollar Loans shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, into ABR Loans.

16.Pro Rata Treatment and Payments

. (a) Except in the case of a Borrowing comprised of Swing Line Loans and subject to the reallocation rules set forth in Section 4.24(c)and (d), each payment by the Borrowers on account of any fee hereunder in respect of a Tranche of Loans (other than as set forth in Section 4.10) shall be made pro rata to the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Percentage in respect of such Tranche. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Loans of a particular Tranche (other than as set forth in Sections 4.6, 4.17, 4.18 and 4.19) shall be made pro rata to the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Percentage in respect of such Tranche. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments ratably to each Lender in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Working Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Working Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into

76

AMERICAS 94977503

another calendar month in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Working Day.

(a)[Reserved].

(b)[Reserved].

(c)All payments and prepayments (other than mandatory prepayments as set forth in Section 4.6 and other than prepayments as set forth in Section 4.18 with respect to increased costs) of Eurodollar Loans hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Eurodollar Loans with the same Interest Period shall not be less than $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

17.Illegality

. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any Change in Law occurring after the date that any Person becomes a Lender party to this Agreement shall make it unlawful for such Lender to maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans or to convert all or a portion of ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall, if required by law and if such Lender so requests in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent, be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such request. To the extent that such affected Eurodollar Loans are converted into ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to such Lender’s ABR Loans. The Borrowers hereby agree promptly to pay any Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Section 4.17 including, but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder (such Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to the Borrower Agent through the Administrative Agent, to be conclusive absent manifest error).

18.Requirements of Law

. (a) In the event that, at any time after the Effective Date any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

(i)does or shall subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii)does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, liquidity requirement or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended

77

AMERICAS 94977503

by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which are not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(iii)does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or, in the case of (i), to such Lender or the Administrative Agent) of converting, renewing or maintaining advances or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, in each case, in respect of its Eurodollar Loans or, in the case of (i), any Loans, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or the Administrative Agent), on demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or the Administrative Agent) for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or the Administrative Agent) deems to be material as determined by such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or the Administrative Agent) with respect to such Eurodollar Loans or, in the case of (i), any Loans, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(a)In the event that at any time after the Effective Date any Change in Law with respect to any Lender shall, in the opinion of such Lender, have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of the obligations of such Lender hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time following notice by such Lender to the Borrower Agent of such Change in Law as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 4.18, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender on an after-Tax basis for such reduction.

(b)If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.18, it shall promptly notify the Borrower Agent through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. If any Lender has notified the Borrower Agent through the Administrative Agent of any increased costs pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 4.18, the Borrowers at any time thereafter may, upon at least two Working Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and subject to Section 4.19, prepay or convert into ABR Loans all (but not a part) of the Eurodollar Loans then outstanding. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of paragraph (a) of this Section 4.18 or entitling a Lender to receive additional amounts under paragraph (b) or (c) of Section 4.20 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower Agent, and to the extent permitted by law or by the relevant Governmental Authority, endeavor in good faith to avoid or minimize the increase in costs, reduction in payments, or payment of additional amounts resulting from such event (including endeavoring to change its Eurodollar Lending Office or any other lending office); provided, however, that such avoidance or minimization can be made in such a manner that such Lender, in its sole determination, suffers no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage.

(c)A certificate submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The covenants contained

78

AMERICAS 94977503

in this Section 4.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the outstanding Loans.

19.Indemnity

. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to compensate and indemnify each Lender and each Issuing Bank and to hold such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrowers in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Eurodollar Loans of such Lender, including, but not limited to any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder, (b) default by the Borrowers in making a conversion of ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower Agent has given notice in accordance with Section 4.3 or in continuing Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period after the Borrower Agent has given a notice in accordance with Section 2.3(a), (c) default by the Borrowers in making any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower Agent has given a notice in accordance with Section 4.3 or (d) a payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, in either case on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (any of the events referred to in clauses (b), (c) or (d), a “Breakage Event”). In the case of a Breakage Event, such loss or expense shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender of (i) the cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period, but such loss or expense shall not, in any event, include any lost profit or loss of Applicable Margin. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Obligations.

20.Taxes

.

(a)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax 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 Loan 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 Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

AMERICAS 94977503

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

(d)Indemnification by Borrowers. The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent and any Lender, 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 the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Agent by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)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 Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6(b) 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 Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Loan 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.

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

80

AMERICAS 94977503

sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent on or about 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), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about 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 Agent or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies 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 Loan 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;

(2)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-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 a Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to a Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W‑8BEN-E; or

(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W‑8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio

81

AMERICAS 94977503

interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

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

Each Lender agrees that if any 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 Agent and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the

82

AMERICAS 94977503

contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

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

22.Mitigation; Replacement of Lenders; Defaulting Lenders

. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.18, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.20, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.18 or Section 4.20, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(a)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.18, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.20, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice by the Borrower Agent to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (A) (i) the Borrower Agent shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 11.6(d) and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.18 or payments required to be made pursuant to

83

AMERICAS 94977503

Section 4.20, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) substantially concurrently with satisfaction of the requirements set forth in clause (A) of this proviso, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned and delegated its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and such Lender shall not be required to execute the Assignment and Assumption in connection therewith. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(b)(x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower Agent shall have the right, if no Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such replacement, by written notice, to terminate all Commitments of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date; provided that in the case of any termination of one or more Commitments of one or more Lenders, participations in then outstanding Swing Line Loans, Protective Advances and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated based on the revised Pro Rata Percentages of the various Lenders; provided, further, that a termination pursuant to this clause (I) shall not be permitted if, after giving effect to any reallocation of participations pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso the Revolving Exposure under any Class of Commitments would exceed the aggregate remaining Commitments of such Class.

(c)if any Swing Line Exposure, Protective Advance or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then, for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i)all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Exposure, Protective Advances and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages, but only to the extent that (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and (y) to the extent requested in writing by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Agent shall confirm that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation and if the Borrower cannot confirm such conditions have been satisfied (which shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default) and such conditions have not otherwise been waived by the Required Lenders, then clause (ii) below shall apply;

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, (a) prepay such Swing Line Exposure and participations in Protective Advances of such Defaulting Lender and (b) Cash Collateralize or backstop in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank the “uncovered” portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of 103% of the maximum stated amount of such “uncovered” portion of such Letter of Credit for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to

84

AMERICAS 94977503

pay the LC Participation Fee with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure so long as it is Cash Collateralized;

(iv)if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, then the LC Participation Fee with respect to such portion shall be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages (as adjusted to exclude Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Percentages);

(v)if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 4.22(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, the LC Participation Fee payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the respective Issuing Banks until such LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated;

(vi)so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied in its sole discretion that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateralized in accordance with this Section 4.22(d) and participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages (as adjusted to exclude Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Percentages) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(vii)any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 4.22) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or Cash Collateralization of any participation in any Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such an account as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a

85

AMERICAS 94977503

prepayment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of LC Disbursements which a Defaulting Lender has funded in respect of its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Revolving Loans of, and Swing Line Loans (where participations have been funded) and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Revolving Loans, or and Swing Line Loans (where participations have been funded) or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

(d)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Unused Commitment Fee and any LC Participation Fee (subject to preceding clause (d)(v) and except to the extent reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders) shall cease to accrue for the benefit of such Lender so long as it is a Defaulting Lender and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 4.10(b) or any LC Participation Fees.

(i)the Commitment of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Commitment (an “Extending Revolving Loan Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment” and the loans made pursuant thereto, the “Extended Revolving Loans”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) which shall be extended pursuant to an Extension Offer and shall have terms substantially identical to, or taken as a whole, no more favorable to the Extending Revolving Loan Lenders, as the original Commitments except as to interest rates, fees, final maturity and, after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of such Extended

SECTION 10.THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

1.Authorization and Action

(a). (a) Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints DBNY and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender and each Issuing Bank authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(b) As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected

131

AMERICAS 94977503

in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Requirement of Law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to New Holdings, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in each instance where discretionary rights or powers conferred upon the Administrative Agent may be exercised or refrained from being exercised, the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to consult with, or seek the affirmative or negative vote from, the Required Lenders or, if otherwise applicable, the Lenders, and it may do so pursuant to a negative notice or otherwise.

(c)The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; business interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental action.

(d)The Administrative Agent shall not be (i) required to qualify in any jurisdiction in which it is not presently qualified to perform its obligations as Administrative Agent or (ii) required to take any enforcement action against a Loan Party or any other obligor outside of the United States.

(e) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

132

AMERICAS 94977503

(i)the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(ii)nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(f) The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.

The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

(g) In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any 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 any of the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i)to file and prove a claim for 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 under Sections 4.7, 4.10, 4.18, 4.20 and 11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

133

AMERICAS 94977503

(ii)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 proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each other Secured Party 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 or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 11.5). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

(h) The provisions of this Section 10.1 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and, except solely to the extent of any Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of New Holdings or any Subsidiary shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.

2.Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Indemnification, Etc.

. (a) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

(b) Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Swing Line Lender nor Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Agent or a Lender, and neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Swing Line Lender nor Issuing Bank shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or

134

observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 11.6, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 11.6(d), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

(d) Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent (x) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (y) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report, (iii) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports, (iv) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement and (v) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent as the direct

135

AMERICAS 94977503

or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender in breach of its obligations hereunder.

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

3.Posting of Communications

. (a) The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE

136

AMERICAS 94977503

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

“Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.

(d) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(e) Each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(f) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

(g)The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”).  The Borrowers hereby agree that so long as any Loan Party is the issuer of any outstanding debt or equity securities that are registered or issued pursuant to a private offering or is actively contemplating issuing any such securities it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Loan Parties  under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Loan Parties shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 11.15); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform not designated “Public Investor.” The Borrowers agree that (i) any Loan Documents and notifications

137

AMERICAS 94977503

of changes of terms of the Loan Documents (including term sheets) and (ii) any materials delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 will be deemed to be “public-side” Borrower Materials and may be made available to Public Lenders.

4.The Administrative Agent Individually

. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent applicable, have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent. The terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”, “Super Majority Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include, if applicable, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Required Lenders and/or Super Majority Lenders, as applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, New Holdings, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

5.Successor Administrative Agent

. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower Agent, and the Required Lenders may remove the Administrative Agent for any reason upon 20 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent, in each case whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent with the approval of the Borrower Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and not required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. In either case (whether a resignation or a removal), such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower Agent (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall, in the event that a successor Administrative Agent is being appointed at the time of such resignation or removal, take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. A retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall, in the event that a successor Administrative Agent is not appointed at the time of such resignation or removal, take all actions

138

AMERICAS 94977503

reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Required Lenders (for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 60 days) (including providing the Borrower Agent and the Required Lenders with a copy of the Register and other documents and information in the possession of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent that is reasonably requested by the Required Lenders or the Borrower Agent) in connection with (x) in the case of the Required Lenders, the Required Lenders’ performance of the duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and (y) in the case of the Borrowers, the Borrowers’ obligation to make payments directly to the Lenders and provide notices and information directly to the Lenders.

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 10.5, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment (x) within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign or (y) within 20 days after the removed Administrative Agent receives notice of its removal, as applicable, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower Agent or the Required Lenders may give notice of the effectiveness of the removal of the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent, as applicable, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation or removal stated in such notice, (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Document and Loan Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case solely until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 4.20 and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the effectiveness of such resignation or retirement); provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.5, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) above.

(c)Any resignation by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender, in

139

AMERICAS 94977503

which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swing Line Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as an Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swing Line Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation, so long as such Letters of Credit or LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans remain outstanding and not otherwise Cash Collateralized in accordance with the terms herein.

6.Acknowledgements of Lenders

. (a) Each Lender represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning New Holdings and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b)Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.

7.Collateral Matters

. (a) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.7(b) or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.3(h). The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for (i) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the security interest or Lien granted under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the filing, re-filing, recording, re-recording or continuing any document, financing statement, Mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any

time or times or (iii) providing, maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to any of the Collateral. The actions described in items (i) through (iii) shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrowers.

8.Credit Bidding

. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent (or its sub-agents as designated) shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent (or its sub-agents as designated) shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 11.1 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent (or its sub-agents as designated) on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests

141

AMERICAS 94977503

and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

AMERICAS 94977503

interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any participating interest of such Lender in any Letter of Credit, any Commitment of such Lender and/or any other interest of such Lender hereunder (including for the purposes of this Section 11.6(b), its LC Exposure and Swing Line Exposure) and under the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, each Lender shall have the right to sell one or more participations in all or any part of its Loans, Commitments, related Revolving Exposure and/or any other Obligations to one or more lenders or other Persons that provide financing to such Lender in the form of sales and repurchases of participations without having to satisfy the foregoing requirements.

The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Loan to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any Loan; provided that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of setoff if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating interest to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), as provided in Section 11.7. The Borrowers also agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and shall be subject to the limitations of, Sections 4.17, 4.18, 4.19 and 4.20 with respect to its participation in the Loans, Commitments and/or other related Revolving Exposure outstanding from time to time; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive (i) any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred or (ii) the benefits of Section 4.20 unless such Participant complies with Section 4.20(g) as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.20(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall 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 Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments and/or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that any Loan,

sell to any Eligible Assignee (an “Assignee”), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (except as otherwise permitted by Section 4.22 and Section 11.1) and, to the extent their consent is required, the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below); provided that (A) each such sale pursuant to this Section 11.6(c) of less than all of a Lender’s rights and obligations (I) to a Person which is not then a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund shall be of Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure, as applicable, of not less than $1,000,000 and (II) to a Person which is then a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund may be in any amount and (B) each Assignee shall comply with the provisions of Section 4.20 hereof; provided, further that the foregoing shall not prohibit a Lender from selling participating interests in accordance with Section 11.6(a) in all or any portion of its Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure (without duplication).

Such Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Assignee and the resulting adjustment of Pro Rata Percentages arising from the purchase by such Assignee of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such assigning Lender under this Agreement.

Each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee is an Eligible Assignee or have any liability with respect to any assignment made to a Disqualified Lender or any other Person that is not an Eligible Assignee or enforcing the list of Disqualified Lenders.

If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Lender, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice from the Borrower Agent to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of outstanding Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure held by such Disqualified Lender, prepay such Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure, in each case, plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 11.6), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrowers, the Borrower Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lenders consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any Bankruptcy Plan, each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Bankruptcy Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on such Bankruptcy Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section

153

AMERICAS 94977503

1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Bankruptcy Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

For the purposes of this Section 11.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a Disqualified Person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(d)The Administrative Agent acting on behalf of and as agent for the Borrowers, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 11.2 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amount (and stated interest) of Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure of, each Lender. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender, an Assignee and any other party required to executed such Assignment and Assumption pursuant to this Section 11.6, together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (x) in the case of an assignee which is already a Lender or is an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender or (y) if waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto, record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower Agent. The Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about New Holdings and its Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(e)The Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee or to any pledgee referred to in

154

Section 11.6(f) or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those of Section 11.15) any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning New Holdings and its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of New Holdings and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that no such information shall be provided by any Lender to any Disqualified Lender.

(f)For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans, Notes, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment (i) by a Lender of any Loan, Note, Commitment and/or other Revolving Exposure to any Federal Reserve Bank or central bank having jurisdiction over such lender in accordance with applicable law and (ii) by a Lender Affiliate which is a fund to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided that any transfer of Loans, Notes, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure upon, or in lieu of, enforcement of or the exercise of remedies under any such pledge shall be treated as an assignment thereof which shall not be made without compliance with the requirements of this Section 11.6.

(g)The Borrowers, upon receipt by the Borrower Agent of written notice from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (f) above.

The Borrowers agree that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans, interests in Protective Advances and/or LC Disbursements may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

155

AMERICAS 94977503

The Administrative Agent shall promptly give the Borrower Agent notice of any set-off, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off.

The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall notify the Borrower Agent (and in the case of a setoff made by a Lender, the Administrative Agent) promptly of any such setoff made by it and the application made by it of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.

15.Confidentiality

.

159

AMERICAS 94977503

to keep such information confidential) or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided that, unless prohibited by applicable law or court order, such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower Agent of any disclosure pursuant to clauses (d) or (e). For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to New Holdings, its Subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.

Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about any Borrower and its Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

16.Usury Savings

. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged hereunder, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law, shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate (as such term is defined below). If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate (as defined below), the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if and when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrowers to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder

160

AMERICAS 94977503

or be refunded to the Borrowers. As used in this paragraph, the term “Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum lawful interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under the laws applicable to such Lender which are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by law, under such applicable laws which may hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow.

17.Severability

. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

18.Patriot Act

. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and each other Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and each other Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers and each other Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

19.Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

20.Conditional Restrictions on Parent

161

AMERICAS 94977503

. As a condition to the Borrowers’ providing financial statements of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries (in lieu of the financial statements of New Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries) pursuant to the second to last paragraph of Section 7.1, Parent hereby agrees that at all times during any fiscal period with respect to which financial statements provided under Section 7.1(a) or (b) are in respect of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries, Parent will not (a) own any material property other than (x) the Capital Stock in Intermediate Holdings, (y) cash and Cash Equivalents received from distributions from Intermediate Holdings permitted by Section 8.8, and (z) tax refunds, insurance payments and settlements that in each case are promptly contributed to New Holdings, (b) have any material liabilities other than (i)  under documents evidencing the Restructuring Transactions and contracts and agreements (including with respect to indemnities, employee and director benefit plans, stock compensation plans and restricted stock plans) with its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, consultants and employees relating to their employment, services or directorships, (ii) tax liabilities in the ordinary course of business and (iii) corporate overhead expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business (including expenses relating to insurance) or (c) engage in any business other than (i) owning the Capital Stock in Intermediate Holdings, and activities incidental or related thereto, (ii) activities related to maintaining its listing as a public company on any applicable exchange and (iii) performing its obligations under documents evidencing the Restructuring Transactions and contracts and agreements (including with respect to indemnities, employee and director benefit plans, stock compensation plans and restricted stock plans) with its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, consultants and employees relating to their employment, services or directorships.

21.Secured Swap Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements

No Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, and the Borrower Agent shall not request the issuance of, any Letter of Credit at any time if after giving effect to such issuance (w) the LC Exposure would exceed the LC Sublimit or the LC Exposure of any Issuing Bank would exceed its LC Commitment, (x) the total Revolving Exposure of all Lenders would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments, (y) the total Revolving Exposure of all applicable Lenders attributable to any Class of Commitments would exceed the aggregate amount of such Commitments or (z) in the case of any Letter of Credit which will mature after the Maturity Date of one or more Classes of Commitments but before the Maturity Date of one or more other Classes of Commitments, the aggregate LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit which will mature after such Maturity Dates shall not exceed the Commitments attributable to later maturing Classes which will remain in effect after such Maturity Dates excluding any LC Exposure which has been backstopped or Cash Collateralized in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower Agent to, or entered into by any Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(ii)Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions and Notices. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, the Borrower Agent shall deliver by hand or email through a “pdf” copy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank), an LC Request to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the third Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or such later date and time as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank).

A request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit shall specify, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank:

(A)the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day);

(B)the stated or “face” amount thereof;

(C)the expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the close of business on the earlier of (x) the date which is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or as otherwise extended pursuant to the LC Extension; provided that such expiry date may extend beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date in the case of any Letter of Credit which has been backstopped or Cash Collateralized in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank);

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

(E)whether the Letter of Credit shall be for the benefit of Intermediate Holdings, any Borrower or one or more of each of their respective Subsidiaries;

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

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

(H)such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require.

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

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

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

(J)the expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the close of business on the earlier of (x) the date which is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or as otherwise extended pursuant to the LC Extension);

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

(L)such other customary matters as the Issuing Bank reasonably may require.

If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower Agent also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and, upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the amount of the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit and the amount of the LC Exposure of each Issuing Bank shall not exceed its LC Commitment, (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments and the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the Line Cap, (iii) the total Revolving Exposure attributable to any Class of Commitments would exceed the aggregate amount of such Commitments, (iv) in the case of any Letter of Credit which will mature but after the Maturity Date of one or more Classes of Commitments but before the Maturity Date of one or more other Classes of Commitments, the aggregate LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit which will mature after such Maturity Dates shall not exceed the Commitments attributable to later maturing Classes which will remain in effect after such Maturity Dates and (v) the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 in respect of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension shall have been satisfied. Unless the applicable Issuing Bank shall agree otherwise, no Letter of Credit shall be in an initial amount less than $100,000 or, with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Dollar Equivalent amount thereof.

Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (and in the case of an issuance of a new Letter of Credit, or an increase or decrease in the stated amount of an existing Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof), which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit (and in the case of an issuance of a new Letter of Credit, or an increase or decrease in the stated amount of an existing Letter of Credit, the notice to each Lender shall include a copy of such Letter of Credit also and the Dollar Equivalent amount of each such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(iv)).

(iii)Expiration Date.

(A)Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (x) the date which is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, an Issuing Bank, in its sole discretion, may agree to extend such Letter of Credit beyond such date (the “LC Extension”) upon the Borrowers either (i) providing such Issuing Bank funds equal to 103% of the LC Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit for deposit in a Cash Collateral account which Cash Collateral account will be held by the Issuing Bank as a pledged Cash Collateral account and applied to reimbursement of all drafts submitted under such outstanding Letter of Credit or (ii) delivering to such Issuing Bank one or more letters of credit for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion.

(B)If the Borrower Agent so requests in any LC Request, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto‑Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto‑Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower Agent shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto‑Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the earlier of (i) one year from the date of such renewal and (ii) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless otherwise extended pursuant to the LC Extension; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if (x) the Issuing Bank has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.1(d)(xiii) or otherwise), or (y) it has received notice on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date which has been agreed upon pursuant to the proviso of the first sentence of this paragraph, (1) from the Administrative Agent that any Lender directly affected thereby has elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 are not then satisfied.

(iv)Participations.

(A)By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, an Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably grants to each Lender with a Commitment then in effect, and each such Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage (determined at the time of issuance or increase to the respective Letter of Credit, adjusted for assignments and as may be further adjusted pursuant to following clause (B)) of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.1(d), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the relevant Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, or expiration, termination or Cash Collateralization of any Letter of Credit and that each such payment shall be made in the same currency as the applicable Letter of Credit, without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(B)Provisions Related to Expiring Commitments when one or more Classes of Commitments with Longer Maturity Dates will Remain Outstanding; and Non-Pro Rata Reductions to Classes of Commitments.

(1)If the Maturity Date shall have occurred in respect to any Class of Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments at a time one or more Non-Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments remain in effect, then with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit, on the earliest occurring Maturity Date the participations in such Letter of Credit previously attributable to the respective Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed reallocated to the Class or Classes of Non-Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis; provided that (x) to the extent that the amount of such reallocation would cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Class of Non-Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments to exceed the aggregate amount of such Non-Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments, such reallocation shall not occur and the respective such exposure shall be required to be Cash Collateralized as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(d)(iii)(A) and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no such reallocation shall occur and the Borrowers shall be required to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit (to the extent participated in by Lenders with Expiring Revolving Credit Commitments) as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(d)(iii)(A).

(2)If at any time there are outstanding Commitments of more than one Class, and at such time any reduction to outstanding Commitments pursuant to (and in accordance with) Section 3 occurs, then concurrently therewith there shall be deemed to occur (automatically) an adjustment to the participations of the Lenders in all outstanding Letters of Credit so that each Lender participates therein (on a prospective basis) to reflect its new Pro Rata Percentage after giving effect to such reduction to Commitments.

(v)Reimbursement.

(A)If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall, in each case in the same currency as the applicable Letter of Credit, reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to such Issuing Bank an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is one Business Day immediately following the date that such LC Disbursement is made if the Borrower Agent shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date when such LC Disbursement was made, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower Agent prior to such time on such date, then not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower Agent receives such notice; provided that the Borrower Agent may, subject to the conditions to Borrowing set forth herein, request that such payment be financed with Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans.

(B)If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, such Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the amount of the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Lender shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement in the same manner as provided in Section 2.4 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders; provided, that if the Issuing Bank is also a Lender, such Lender shall be deemed to have funded its Pro Rata Percentage automatically without further funding. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrowers pursuant to the above paragraph prior to the time that any Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as appropriate.

(C)If any Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, each of such Lender and the Borrowers, jointly and severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with the foregoing to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the rate per annum set forth in (viii) below and (ii) in the case of such Lender, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.

(vi)Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers as provided in Section 2.1(d)(v) shall be joint and several, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein; (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that fails to strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.1, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder; (v) the fact that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (vi) any material adverse change in the business, property, results of operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of Intermediate Holdings and its Subsidiaries; or (vii) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the relevant Issuing Bank. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal)), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole reasonable discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(vii)Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly give written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder and the currency thereof; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligation to the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of payment of such Reimbursement Obligation set forth in Section 2.1(d)(v)).

(viii)Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest payable on demand, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as ABR Loans for a period of three Business Days from the date of such LC Disbursement, and at the rate per annum determined pursuant to Section 4.7(c) thereafter. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(v) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(ix)Cash Collateralization. If (1) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Agent receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or (2) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any LC Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, in each case, the Borrowers shall immediately deposit on terms and in accounts satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the Dollar Equivalent of 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 9(f). In addition to the forgoing requirements, on any Maturity Date which is not the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, if any LC Obligation remains outstanding which is participated in by Lenders whose Commitments have terminated (without a full reallocation of such participation to later maturing Commitments as provided in clause (B) or Section 2.1(d)(iv)) the Borrowers shall immediately deposit on terms and in accounts satisfactory to the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date which is participated in by Lenders whose Commitments have terminated (without reallocation to later maturing Commitments) plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Funds so deposited shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement; provided that funds deposited pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied to only those reimbursement Obligations participated in by the respective Lenders described in the immediately preceding sentence until such time as such Lenders have no further participation in outstanding Letters of Credit (unless otherwise consented to by such Lenders). If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the existence of an Event of Default, such amount plus any accrued interest or realized profits with respect to such amounts (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the relevant Borrowers within five Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(x)Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower Agent may, at any time and from time to time, designate one or more additional Lenders or Affiliates of Lenders to act as an Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit under the terms of this Agreement, with the consent of each of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and such Issuing Bank; provided, that any such Lender may accept or decline such designation in its sole discretion. Any Lender designated as an Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit pursuant to this paragraph (x) shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by it, and all references in the Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Lender in its capacity as the Issuing Bank, as the context shall require. If at any time there is more than one Issuing Bank hereunder, the Borrower Agent may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Bank is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.

(xi)Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank hereunder at any time upon at least thirty days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent. An Issuing Bank may be replaced or removed at any time by the Borrower by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the replaced or removed Issuing Bank (and, in the case of a replacement, with the agreement of the replacement Issuing Bank). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such resignation, replacement or removal of such Issuing Bank or any such additional Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation, replacement or removal shall become effective, the Borrower Agent shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the resigning, replaced or removed Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 4.10(c). From and after the effective date of any such resignation, replacement or removal, as applicable, (i) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or such addition or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or such addition and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(xii)Issuing Bank. Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 10.2 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by any Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 10 included each Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Bank. Each Issuing Bank may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(xiii)Other. An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or

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

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

(e)Protective Advances.

(i)Subject to the limitations set forth below (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2), the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion in the exercise of its commercially reasonable judgment (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Loans to the Borrowers, on behalf of all Lenders at any time that any condition precedent set forth in Section 6. 2 has not been satisfied or waived, which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 11.5) and other sums, in each case to the extent due and payable (and not in dispute by the Borrower (acting in good faith)) under the Loan Documents (each such Loan, a “Protective Advance”). Any Protective Advance may be made in a principal amount that would cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure to exceed the Line Cap; provided that no Protective Advance may be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such Protective Advance (together with the outstanding principal amount of any outstanding Protective Advances), the aggregate principal amount of Protective Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed 10% of the Line Cap as determined on the date of such proposed Protective Advance; and provided, further, that the aggregate amount of Borrowings (including the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances) shall not exceed the Total Revolving Commitment. No Protective Advance may remain outstanding for more than thirty days without the consent of the Required Lenders unless a liquidation is taking place. Each Protective Advance shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. The making of a Protective Advance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Administrative Agent to make any Protective Advance on any other occasion. At any time that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2 have been satisfied or waived, the Administrative Agent may request the Lenders to make a Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time, the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.1(e)(ii).

(ii)Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Pro Rata Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral (if any) received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

2.2Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans under a respective Class shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to such Class. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than ten (or such greater number as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans in the aggregate for all Classes of Loans

2.3Notice of Borrowing.

(a)If any Borrower desires to incur the Loans (or portions thereof) as (x) Eurodollar Loans hereunder, the Borrower Agent shall give the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days (or, with respect to Eurodollar Loans to be made on the Effective Date, such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior notice of the Eurodollar Loans to be incurred hereunder, (y) ABR Loans hereunder (excluding Swing Line Loans, which notice shall be delivered in accordance with Section 2.1(c)(ii)), the Borrower Agent shall give the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s (or, with respect to ABR Loans to be made on the Effective Date, such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior notice of the ABR Loans to be incurred hereunder, provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such day. Each such notice (the “Notice of Borrowing”), shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, substantially in the form of Exhibit N, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing, (ii) the Class of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (iii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as ABR Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans or and, if Eurodollar Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto and (v) the applicable account details for the applicable Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans of the Class 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 Agent to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender 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 or such Swing Line Lender in good faith to be from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Agent, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrowers hereby waive the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or Swing Line Lender’s, as applicable, record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error.

(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower Agent shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the applicable Latest Maturity Date.

2.4Disbursement of Funds. No later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or in the case of Swing Line Loans, as provided in Section 2.1(c)(ii)), each Lender with a Commitment of the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 4.16) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender will make available the full amount thereof). 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 to the Administrative Agent, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders; provided that, if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, there are LC Disbursements or Swing Line Loans then outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such LC Disbursements with respect to Letters of Credit, second, to the payment in full of any Swing Line Loans and third, to the Borrower as otherwise provided above; provided further, that a Protective Advance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent to be applied as contemplated by Section 2.1(e) (and the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower Agent a reasonably detailed accounting of such application). 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 Borrowers 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 Agent and the Borrower Agent 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 Agent, 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 any of the Borrowers 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 Bank Funding Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrowers, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 4.7 and 4.8. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

2.5Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments.

(a)At any time and from time to time prior to the Latest Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Agent may by no less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (or such lesser number of days as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), request one or more increases of the amount of the Commitments under the then existing Revolving Facility (including increases of the amount of the LC Commitments and/or the LC Sublimit, if agreed to by each Issuing Bank in its sole discretion) (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility”) denominated in Dollars (the revolving loans extended thereunder, the “Incremental Revolving Loans”), or a combination thereof; provided that:

(i)immediately before and after giving effect to each Incremental Amendment and the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom and the representations and warranties in Section 5 shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that (x) any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects and (y) any representation and warranty which expressly relates to an earlier date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided that (A) to the extent the proceeds of any Incremental Revolving Facility are intended to be applied to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted under Section 8.7 that constitutes the acquisition by New Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries of the outstanding Capital Stock of any Person, or of all or substantially all of the assets of any Person or of a division or line of business of any Persons, if agreed to by the Additional Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Facility, (x) the only representations and warranties that will be required to be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any representations and warranties qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) as of the applicable closing date for such Incremental Revolving Facility shall be customary “specified representations” (as determined by the Borrower Agent and Additional Incremental Lenders) and such of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the applicable acquired company or business in the applicable acquisition or other agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that New Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such acquisition or other agreement or not consummate such acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations or warranties in such acquisition agreement) and (y) the only condition with respect to absence of a Default or Event of Default shall be the absence of an Event of Default at the time such acquisition or similar agreement is entered into;

(ii)the aggregate amount of Incremental Revolving Facilities outstanding on any date shall not exceed $50,000,000;

(iii)in the event that the Yield for any Incremental Revolving Facility incurred is higher than the Yield for the Initial Revolving Loans, then the Applicable Margin for the Initial Revolving Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Yield for the Initial Revolving Loans is equal to the Yield for such Incremental Revolving Facility; and

(iv) each Incremental Revolving Facility shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000, provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Revolving Facilities set forth above. Any Lenders participating in an Incremental Revolving Facility, unless then a Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank.

(b)Each Incremental Revolving Facility:

(i)shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents and shall rank paripassu in right of payment and in respect of the Collateral and with the Obligations in respect of the Commitments made available to the Borrowers, and shall not benefit from any guarantees other than from the Guarantors under the Revolving Facility or be secured by any asset other than the Collateral; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, all amounts owing to the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank with respect to any Swing Line Loans or Letters of Credit participated in by Lenders holding Commitments as described above shall rank paripassu with all such amounts owing to the Swing Line Lender or Issuing Bank with respect to the Initial Revolving Loan Commitments and any other Commitments secured equally and ratably therewith;

(ii)for purposes of prepayments, Incremental Revolving Facilities (A) shall be treated in the same manner as the Initial Revolving Loans and (B) shall be subject to customary “waterfall” provisions;

(iii)all other terms of such Incremental Revolving Facilities shall be on the same terms applicable to the existing Revolving Facility (including the maturity date in respect thereof) and pursuant to the same documentation applicable to the existing Revolving Facility (other than the relevant Incremental Amendment); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower Agent determines to increase the interest rate or fees payable in respect of Incremental Revolving Facilities or Incremental Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, such increase shall be permitted if the interest rate or fees payable in respect of the other Commitments or Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, as applicable, shall be increased to equal such interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Incremental Revolving Facilities or Incremental Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, as the case may be.

(c)Each notice from the Borrower Agent pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility. Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to provide Commitments under an Incremental Revolving Facility shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Agent, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender, such consent of each Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender to be required, in each case, to the extent required under Section 11.6(c) (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Incremental Lender”) and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers, such Additional Incremental Lender (in the case of this Agreement and, as appropriate, any other Loan Document, as applicable) and the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Commitments under an Incremental Revolving Facility, unless it so agrees (and any Lender that does not respond shall be conclusively presumed not to agree to provide additional Commitments). Commitments in respect of any Incremental Revolving Facilities shall become Commitments under this Agreement. An Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section (including to provide for voting provisions applicable to the Additional Incremental Lenders comparable to the provisions of Section 11.1). The proceeds of any Loans under an Incremental Revolving Facility will be used, directly or indirectly, for working capital and/or general corporate purposes and/or any other purposes not prohibited hereunder (including, without limitation, Restricted Payments and acquisitions).

(d)Each Lender in respect of any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be an Eligible Assignee.

(e)This Section 2.5 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.16 or 11.1 to the contrary

2.6Cash Receipts.

(a)Attached hereto as Schedule 2.6(a) is a schedule of all DDAs, that are maintained by the Loan Parties, which Schedule includes, with respect to each depository, (i) the account number(s) maintained with such depository, (ii) the name of the depository and (iii) the name of the Loan Party that maintains such DDA.

(b)Within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), each applicable Loan Party will enter into a blocked account agreement (each, a “Blocked Account Agreement”), reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with respect to the DDAs existing as of the Effective Date listed on Schedule 2.6(b) attached hereto, other than any such account that is an Excluded Account (collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”). After entering into the Blocked Account Agreement, there shall be at all times thereafter at least one Blocked Account.

(c)Each Blocked Account Agreement entered into by a Loan Party shall, subject to the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, permit the Administrative Agent to instruct the depository, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event (and delivery of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent), to transfer on each Business Day of all available cash receipts to a concentration account maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent (the “Concentration Account”), from:

(i)the sale of Collateral;

(ii)all proceeds of collections of Accounts; and

(iii)each Blocked Account (including all cash deposited therein from each DDA).

If, at any time during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, any cash or Cash Equivalents that are ABL Priority Collateral (or proceeds thereof) owned by any Loan Party are deposited to any account, or held or invested in any manner, otherwise than in a Blocked Account that is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement (other than Excluded Accounts), the Administrative Agent may require the applicable Loan Party to close such account and have all funds therein transferred to a Blocked Account, and all future deposits made to a Blocked Account which is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties shall provide the Administrative Agent with an accounting of the contents of the Blocked Accounts, which shall identify, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, the proceeds from the ABL Priority Collateral which were deposited into a Blocked Account and swept to the Concentration Account.

(d)The Loan Parties may close DDAs or Blocked Accounts and/or open new DDAs or Blocked Accounts, subject to the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of appropriate Blocked Account Agreements (except with respect to Excluded Accounts) consistent with and to the extent required by the provisions of this Section 2.6 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower Agent shall provide the Administrative Agent with prior written notice of its intention to open or close a Blocked Account and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Agent as to whether the Administrative Agent shall require a Blocked Account Agreement with the Person with whom any such new account will be maintained (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not require a Blocked Account Agreement with respect to any Excluded Account).

(e)The Loan Parties may also maintain one or more disbursement accounts to be used by the Loan Parties for disbursements and payments (including payroll) in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted hereunder.

(f)The Concentration Account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Loan Party has no right of withdrawal from the Concentration Account, (ii) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall at all times continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations, and (iii) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall be applied as provided in this Agreement. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.6, during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Event, any Loan Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any such proceeds or collections related to Collateral, such proceeds and collections shall, subject to the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, be held in trust by such Loan Party for the Administrative Agent, shall not be commingled with any of such Loan Party’s other funds or deposited in any account of such Loan Party and shall promptly be deposited into the Concentration Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Loan Party may be instructed by the Administrative Agent.

(g)So long as no Cash Dominion Event has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Parties may, subject to the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, direct, and shall have sole control over, the manner of disposition of funds in the Blocked Accounts.

(h)Subject to Section 4.6(b), any amounts received in the Concentration Account at any time when all of the Obligations then due have been and remain fully repaid shall, subject to the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, be remitted to the operating account of the Loan Parties.

SECTION 3.REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF COMMITMENTS

(a)At its option, the Borrower Agent may at any time terminate, or from time to time, without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 4.19), and permanently reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an integral multiple of $500,000 and be in an amount that is not less than $1,000,000, (ii) the Commitments of any Class shall not be terminated or reduced if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 4.5 (and any adjustment of participations in then outstanding Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(c) and/or (d) as applicable), the aggregate amount of the Revolving Exposures of such Class would exceed the aggregate amount of Commitments of such Class, and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the LC Sublimit or the Swing Line Commitment exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments or the LC Commitment of any Issuing Bank exceeds its Commitment, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess, and (iv) each such reduction shall apply pro rata to all Classes of Commitments (except to the extent a Class has expressly agreed to accept a less than prorata reduction in accordance with the terms hereof).

(b)The Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 3(a) not later than 2:00 p.m. one Business Day (or, in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans, three Business Days or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Agent pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower Agent may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of any such other credit facilities or the closing of any such securities offering, or the occurrence of any other event specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Agent (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. With respect to the effectiveness of any such other credit facilities or the closing of any such securities offering, the Borrower Agent may extend the date of termination at any time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

(c)The total Commitments of each Class shall terminate on the Maturity Date applicable thereto.

SECTION 4.OTHER PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO REVOLVING LOANS

4.1[Reserved].

4.2Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (%3) The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent (i) for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender (other than Incremental Revolving Loans and Extended Revolving Loans), which in the case of (A) the Initial Revolving Loans, shall be repaid on the Initial Maturity Date and (B) the Swing Line Loans, shall be repaid on the earlier of the first Maturity Date after the making thereof and the fifth Business Day after such Swing Line Loan is made (provided that on each such date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swing Line Loans that are outstanding on the date such Borrowing is requested), (ii) for the account of each Additional Incremental Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of any Incremental Revolving Loans made by each Additional Incremental Lender (A) in the currency in which the relevant Incremental Revolving Loan was made, subject to the requirements of Section 2.5 and (B) to the extent not previously paid, which shall be due and payable on the Initial Maturity Date and (iii) for the account of each applicable Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of any Extended Revolving Loan of such Lender, (1) in accordance with the relevant Extension, subject to the requirements of Section 4.24 and (2) to the extent not previously paid, which shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date applicable to such Extended Revolving Loan as provided in the relevant Extension, or, in each of clauses (i) through (iii) above, the then unpaid principal amount of any or all (or a portion thereof) of the Initial Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Loans, on the date that any or all (or a portion thereof) of the Initial Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Loans, as applicable, become due and payable pursuant to Section 9. The Borrowers hereby further agree to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 4.7.

(a)The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans of any Class under a Tranche made by a Lender shall, if requested by such Lender, be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and promptly delivered by the Borrowers substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1 (in the case of Revolving Loans, each a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”) or Exhibit P-2 (in the case of Swing Line Loans, each a “Swing Line Note” and, collectively, the “Swing Line Notes”), as the case may be.

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

(c)The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type and Class thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) any Notes issued in respect thereof and (vi) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d)The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 4.2(c) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, however, that (i) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans under a Tranche to the Borrowers shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrowers to pay the Loans under such Tranche (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 guarantees therefor provided pursuant to the various Loan Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in Section 4.2(c). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans under a Tranche, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

4.3Conversion Options. The Borrower Agent may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans into ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice of such election in the form of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, to be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at least three Working Days prior to the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower Agent may elect from time to time to convert all or a portion of the ABR Loans then outstanding to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice of such election in the form of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, to be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at least three Working Days prior to the proposed conversion date, specifying the Interest Period selected therefor, and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such conversion shall be made on the requested conversion date or, if such requested conversion date is not a Working Day, on the next succeeding Working Day. Upon receipt of any Conversion/Continuation Notice pursuant to this Section 4.3, the Administrative Agent shall promptly, but in any event by 4:00 P.M., New York City time, notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of the outstanding Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) partial conversions of Loans shall be in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the resulting Eurodollar Loans outstanding in respect of any one Interest Period shall be at least $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) no more than seven (7) Interest Periods shall be in effect at any one time with respect to Eurodollar Loans.

4.4[Reserved].

4.5Optional Prepayments. (%3) The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, upon at least one Business Days’ irrevocable written notice from the Borrower Agent to the Administrative Agent in the case of ABR Loans and two Working Days’ irrevocable written notice from the Borrower Agent to the Administrative Agent in the case of Eurodollar Loans and specifying the date, the amount of prepayment, the Class and the Tranche of the prepayment of Loans; provided that Eurodollar Loans prepaid on other than the last day of any Interest Period with respect thereto shall be prepaid subject to the provisions of Section 4.19. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If such notice is given, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein. Accrued interest on any Notes or on the amount of any Loans paid in full pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be paid on the date of such prepayment. Accrued interest on the amount of any partial prepayment shall be paid on the date of such partial prepayment. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (A) $1,500,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (B) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, as the case may be.

(a)[Reserved].

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower Agent may rescind any notice of prepayment under this Section 4.5 if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Loans, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

4.6Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)In the event and on each Business Day on which the total Revolving Exposure exceeds 100% of the Line Cap, the Borrowers shall without notice or demand, first, repay or prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans, second, repay or prepay any Protective Advances,third, repay or prepay other Borrowings, and fourth, at the Borrower Agent’s option, either replace outstanding Letters of Credit or Cash Collateralize or backstop in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank outstanding Letters of Credit in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess; provided that at any time Protective Advances are outstanding and the total Revolving Exposure at such time (excluding such Protective Advances) is less than 100% of the Line Cap at such time, the Borrowers shall only be required to make such repayments or prepayments to the extent (x) the aggregate principal amount of such outstanding Protective Advances exceeds 10% of the Line Cap or (y) the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the Total Revolving Commitments at such time.

(b)After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event and notification thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower Agent which notification shall be delivered three Business Days following the occurrence of such Cash Dominion Event (subject to the terms of the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement), on each Business Day, at or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, apply all immediately available funds credited to the Administrative Agent’s Account or otherwise received by Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations, first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders constituting Obligations, pro rata, second, to prepay the principal and interest of any Swing Line Loans that may be outstanding, pro rata, third, to prepay the principal and interest of any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, pro rata, fourth, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any other Loans that may be outstanding, pro rata, fifth, to prepay the principal of any other Loans that may be outstanding and to Cash Collateralize the aggregate face amount of outstanding LC Exposure, pro rata, sixth, to pay or prepay any other Obligations (other than Obligations in connection with Secured Cash Management Obligations or Secured Swap Agreements and contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has yet been made) whether or not then due, in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent determines; seventh, to pay or prepay Obligations in connection with Secured Cash Management Obligations and/or Secured Swap Agreements, pro rata, and eighth, as the Borrower Agent may direct.

(c)[Reserved];

(d)In the event of any partial reduction of the Commitments of any Class permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then (x) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders of the sum of the Revolving Exposures of such Class after giving effect thereto and (y) if the sum of the Revolving Exposures of such Class would exceed the aggregate amount of Commitments of such Class after giving effect to such reduction, then the Borrowers shall on the date of such reduction, first, repay or prepay Swing Line Loans, second, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings of such Class, and third, at the Borrower Agent’s option, either replace outstanding Letters of Credit or Cash Collateralize or backstop in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank outstanding Letters of Credit, in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(e)In the event that the sum of all the Revolving Exposures of all Lenders of a given Class exceeds the Commitments of such Class then in effect, the Borrowers shall, without notice or demand, immediately first, repay or prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans, second, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings of such Class, and third, at the Borrower Agent’s option, either replace outstanding Letters of Credit or Cash Collateralize or backstop in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures, in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(f)In the event that the aggregate LC Exposure exceeds the LC Sublimit then in effect or the aggregate LC Exposure of any Issuing Bank exceeds its LC Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately, at the Borrower Agent’s option, either replace outstanding Letters of Credit or Cash Collateralize or backstop outstanding Letters of Credit, in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(g)Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 4.6 shall be applied without premium or penalty to outstanding Loans under each Tranche of Loans on a pro rata basis, provided that no permanent reduction in Commitments shall result therefrom (or, in each case, if agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders of a Tranche of Loans, in a manner that provides for more favorable prepayment treatment of other Tranches of Loans, so long as each other such Tranche receives its pro rata share of any amount to be applied more favorably, except to the extent otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders of each Tranche receiving less than such pro rata share). All amounts to be applied as required by clauses (e) through (g) of this Section 4.6 shall be applied as provided therein, with all payments to any Class of Commitments to be applied on a pro rata basis to such Class.

(h)[Reserved].

(i)With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 4.6, the Borrower Agent may designate, within each respective Class to be repaid, the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which such Eurodollar Loans were made, provided that: (i) unless the Borrower Agent complies with the provisions of Section 4.19, repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 4.6 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all ABR Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar 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 ABR Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of the Borrower Agent, and after all ABR Loans, Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods ended on such date of the respective Class have been paid in full, the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under this Section 4.6 may be deposited in an escrow account on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and applied to the prepayment of Eurodollar Loans upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Periods (in direct order of maturity for the respective Class); provided, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the written direction from the Required Lenders, shall, apply any or all of such amounts then on deposit in such escrow account to the payment of the respective Class of such Loans, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.19. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower Agent as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

(j)[Reserved]

(k)New Holdings and its Subsidiaries will undertake to use all commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any such restrictions on repatriation set forth in clause (j) above and/or minimize any such costs of prepayment to make the relevant prepayment, even if the Borrowers do not intend to actually repatriate such cash.

4.7Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (%3) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(a)ABR Loans shall bear interest for the period from and including the date thereof until maturity thereof on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9(f) or, at the election of the Required Lenders, if all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any of the Loans or (ii) any interest payable thereon or any fees or other amounts, shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), any overdue amount under the Loan Documents shall (to the extent otherwise bearing interest hereunder), without limiting the rights of the Lenders under Section 9, bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal, 2% above the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section or (y) in the case of overdue interest, fees and other amounts that otherwise bear interest hereunder, 2% above the rate described in paragraph (b) of this Section, in each case, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(c)Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

4.8Computation of Interest and Fees.

(%3)     Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, Interest in respect of ABR Loans at any time the ABR is calculated based on the Prime Rate and all fees hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366, as the case may be, day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest in respect of Eurodollar Loans and ABR Loans at any time the ABR is not calculated based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the ABR becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change.

(a)Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the written request of the Borrower Agent, deliver to the Borrower Agent a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining the Eurodollar Rate.

4.9[Reserved].

4.10Certain Fees.

(a)Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees set forth in the Engagement Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein. Such fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever and will be in addition to the reimbursement of the Administrative Agent’s out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with Section 11.5.

(b)Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent a fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) for the account of each Lender in an amount equal to:

(i)the average daily balance of the Commitment of such Lender during the respective period for which the Unused Commitment Fee is being determined (the “Average Total Commitment”), less

(ii)the sum of, without duplication, (x) the average daily balance of all Loans held by such Lender (provided, that the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of calculating the Unused Commitment Fee) plus (y) the average daily amount of LC Obligations held by such Lender, in each case, during the respective period for which the Unused Commitment Fee is being determined (the Average Total Commitment less the amount provided in this clause (ii) above, the “Average Utilization”);

(iii)multiplied by the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage;

provided,that (x) to the extent the foregoing relate to any Commitments other than Initial Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings), the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage applicable thereto shall be subject to modification as agreed by the respective Lenders providing such Commitments and as notified by them to the Administrative Agent at the time of the establishment thereof, and (y) no Unused Commitment Fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

The total fee paid by the Borrowers under this Section 4.10(b) will be equal to the sum of all of the fees due to the Lenders. Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of the first calendar quarter ended following the date hereof and the last Business Day of each calendar quarter thereafter. The Unused Commitment Fee provided in this Section 4.10(b) shall accrue at all times from and after the Effective Date.

(c)LC Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (excluding any Defaulting Lender) a participation fee (“LC Participation Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable Margin applicable to Eurodollar Loans under the Commitments then in effect on the actual daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure; provided that during any period during which default rate interest is applicable under Section 4.7(c), the percentage referred to in preceding clause (i) shall be the Applicable Margin applicable to Eurodollar Loans under the Commitments then in effect, plus 2% per annum, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee (“Fronting Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the termination date of such Letter of Credit, which shall accrue at an amount to be agreed but in any event not to exceed 0.125% on the Dollar Equivalent of the actual daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s reasonable and customary fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and (ii) on the date on which the Commitments terminate and, if later, on the date upon which all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank have expired. Any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable promptly on written demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten Business Days after written demand therefor. All LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(d)Effective Date Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay on the Effective Date to the Arranger, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent the fees required to be paid on such date pursuant to the Engagement Letter. In furtherance thereof (and without duplication of the foregoing), the Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender an initial yield payment equal to the sum of 0.25% of its Initial Revolving Loan Commitment on the Effective Date, with such payment to be earned by, and payable to, each such Lender on the Effective Date.

4.15Inability to Determine Interest Rate for Eurodollar Loans.

(a)In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period (including because the Eurodollar Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) with respect to (x) any Eurodollar Loans that will result from the requested conversion of all or part of ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans or (y) the continuation of any Eurodollar Loan as such for an additional Interest Period, (ii) the Required Lenders shall have determined (and notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such determination) (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for any Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders constituting the Required Lenders of maintaining their affected Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally or (iii) the Required Lenders shall have determined (and notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such determination) (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant period with respect to any such Eurodollar Loan are not available to any of the Lenders in their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices’ interbank eurodollar market, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Borrower Agent and the Lenders at least one day prior to, as the case may be, the conversion date or the last day of such Interest Period. If such notice is given, (A) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (B) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, into ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made and no ABR Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Loans.

(b)If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor or the administrator of the Eurodollar Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurodollar Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 4.15(b), only to the extent the Eurodollar Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any requested Eurodollar Loans shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, into ABR Loans.

4.16Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (%3) Except in the case of a Borrowing comprised of Swing Line Loans and subject to the reallocation rules set forth in Section 4.24(c)and (d), each payment by the Borrowers on account of any fee hereunder in respect of a Tranche of Loans (other than as set forth in Section 4.10) shall be made pro rata to the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Percentage in respect of such Tranche. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Loans of a particular Tranche (other than as set forth in Sections 4.6, 4.17, 4.18 and 4.19) shall be made pro rata to the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Percentage in respect of such Tranche. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments ratably to each Lender in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Working Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Working Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Working Day.

(a)[Reserved].

(b)[Reserved].

(c)All payments and prepayments (other than mandatory prepayments as set forth in Section 4.6 and other than prepayments as set forth in Section 4.18 with respect to increased costs) of Eurodollar Loans hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Eurodollar Loans with the same Interest Period shall not be less than $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

4.17Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any Change in Law occurring after the date that any Person becomes a Lender party to this Agreement shall make it unlawful for such Lender to maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans or to convert all or a portion of ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall, if required by law and if such Lender so requests in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent, be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such request. To the extent that such affected Eurodollar Loans are converted into ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to such Lender’s ABR Loans. The Borrowers hereby agree promptly to pay any Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Section 4.17 including, but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder (such Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to the Borrower Agent through the Administrative Agent, to be conclusive absent manifest error).

4.18Requirements of Law. (%3) In the event that, at any time after the Effective Date any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

(i)does or shall subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii)does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, liquidity requirement or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which are not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(iii)does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or, in the case of (i), to such Lender or the Administrative Agent) of converting, renewing or maintaining advances or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, in each case, in respect of its Eurodollar Loans or, in the case of (i), any Loans, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or the Administrative Agent), on demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or the Administrative Agent) for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or the Administrative Agent) deems to be material as determined by such Lender (or, in the case of (i), such Lender or the Administrative Agent) with respect to such Eurodollar Loans or, in the case of (i), any Loans, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)In the event that at any time after the Effective Date any Change in Law with respect to any Lender shall, in the opinion of such Lender, have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of the obligations of such Lender hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time following notice by such Lender to the Borrower Agent of such Change in Law as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 4.18, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender on an after-Tax basis for such reduction.

(c)If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.18, it shall promptly notify the Borrower Agent through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. If any Lender has notified the Borrower Agent through the Administrative Agent of any increased costs pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 4.18, the Borrowers at any time thereafter may, upon at least two Working Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and subject to Section 4.19, prepay or convert into ABR Loans all (but not a part) of the Eurodollar Loans then outstanding. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of paragraph (a) of this Section 4.18 or entitling a Lender to receive additional amounts under paragraph (b) or (c) of Section 4.20 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower Agent, and to the extent permitted by law or by the relevant Governmental Authority, endeavor in good faith to avoid or minimize the increase in costs, reduction in payments, or payment of additional amounts resulting from such event (including endeavoring to change its Eurodollar Lending Office or any other lending office); provided, however, that such avoidance or minimization can be made in such a manner that such Lender, in its sole determination, suffers no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage.

(d)A certificate submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The covenants contained in this Section 4.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the outstanding Loans.

4.19Indemnity. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to compensate and indemnify each Lender and each Issuing Bank and to hold such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrowers in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Eurodollar Loans of such Lender, including, but not limited to any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder, (b) default by the Borrowers in making a conversion of ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower Agent has given notice in accordance with Section 4.3 or in continuing Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period after the Borrower Agent has given a notice in accordance with Section 2.3(a), (c) default by the Borrowers in making any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower Agent has given a notice in accordance with Section 4.3 or (d) a payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, in either case on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (any of the events referred to in clauses (b), (c) or (d), a “Breakage Event”). In the case of a Breakage Event, such loss or expense shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender of (i) the cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period, but such loss or expense shall not, in any event, include any lost profit or loss of Applicable Margin. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Obligations.

4.20Taxes.

(a)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax 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 Loan 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 Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(d)Indemnification by Borrowers. The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent and any Lender, 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 the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Agent by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)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 Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6(b) 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 Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Loan 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.

(g)Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent on or about 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), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about 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 Agent or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies 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 Loan 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;

(2)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-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 a Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to a Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W‑8BEN-E; or

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

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

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

Each Lender agrees that if any 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 Agent and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

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

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

4.21[Reserved].

4.22Mitigation; Replacement of Lenders; Defaulting Lenders. (%3) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.18, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.20, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.18 or Section 4.20, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(a)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.18, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.20, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice by the Borrower Agent to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (A) (i) the Borrower Agent shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 11.6(d) and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.18 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.20, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) substantially concurrently with satisfaction of the requirements set forth in clause (A) of this proviso, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned and delegated its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and such Lender shall not be required to execute the Assignment and Assumption in connection therewith. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(b)(x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower Agent shall have the right, if no Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such replacement, by written notice, to terminate all Commitments of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date; provided that in the case of any termination of one or more Commitments of one or more Lenders, participations in then outstanding Swing Line Loans, Protective Advances and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated based on the revised Pro Rata Percentages of the various Lenders; provided, further, that a termination pursuant to this clause (I) shall not be permitted if, after giving effect to any reallocation of participations pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso the Revolving Exposure under any Class of Commitments would exceed the aggregate remaining Commitments of such Class.

(c)if any Swing Line Exposure, Protective Advance or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then, for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i)all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Exposure, Protective Advances and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages, but only to the extent that (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and (y) to the extent requested in writing by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Agent shall confirm that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation and if the Borrower cannot confirm such conditions have been satisfied (which shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default) and such conditions have not otherwise been waived by the Required Lenders, then clause (ii) below shall apply;

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, (a) prepay such Swing Line Exposure and participations in Protective Advances of such Defaulting Lender and (b) Cash Collateralize or backstop in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank the “uncovered” portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of 103% of the maximum stated amount of such “uncovered” portion of such Letter of Credit for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay the LC Participation Fee with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure so long as it is Cash Collateralized;

(iv)if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, then the LC Participation Fee with respect to such portion shall be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages (as adjusted to exclude Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Percentages);

(v)if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 4.22(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, the LC Participation Fee payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the respective Issuing Banks until such LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated;

(vi)so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied in its sole discretion that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateralized in accordance with this Section 4.22(d) and participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages (as adjusted to exclude Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Percentages) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(vii)any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 4.22) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or Cash Collateralization of any participation in any Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such an account as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of LC Disbursements which a Defaulting Lender has funded in respect of its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Revolving Loans of, and Swing Line Loans (where participations have been funded) and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Revolving Loans, or and Swing Line Loans (where participations have been funded) or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

(d)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Unused Commitment Fee and any LC Participation Fee (subject to preceding clause (d)(v) and except to the extent reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders) shall cease to accrue for the benefit of such Lender so long as it is a Defaulting Lender and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 4.10(b) or any LC Participation Fees.

4.23[Reserved].

4.24Extension Offers.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower Agent to all Lenders of Commitments with a like maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Commitments with a like maturity date, as the case may be) and offered on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate, premiums or fees payable in respect of such Commitments (and related outstandings)) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Commitments as so extended, as well as the Initial Revolving Loan Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a separate Class; any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate Class of Commitments from the Class of Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(i)the Commitment of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Commitment (an “Extending Revolving Loan Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment” and the loans made pursuant thereto, the “Extended Revolving Loans”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) which shall be extended pursuant to an Extension Offer and shall have terms substantially identical to, or taken as a whole, no more favorable to the Extending Revolving Loan Lenders, as the original Commitments except as to interest rates, fees, final maturity and, after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of such Extended Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Loans (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Loans) with respect to Loans, any other covenants and provisions (which shall be determined by the Borrower Agent and the Extending Revolving Loan Lenders and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer); provided that (1) no Extended Revolving Loans shall have a final maturity date earlier than the Latest Maturity Date then in effect in respect of the then existing Revolving Facilities (and at no time shall there be Classes of Commitments hereunder with more than five different maturity dates), (2) the Borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extended Commitments and (C) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of Commitments (subject to clause (3) below) of Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Commitments, (2) all Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Commitments, (3) such Extended Revolving Loans (and the Liens securing the same) shall be subject to the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement then in effect and (4) the permanent repayment of Loans with respect to, and termination of, Extended Revolving Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Commitments, except that the Borrowers shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate Commitments of any such Class on a non-pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class,

(ii)[Reserved],

(iii)if the aggregate principal amount of Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Commitments offered to be extended by the Borrowers pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans of such Lenders, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer,

(iv)all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and

(v)any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower Agent.

(b)With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.24, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 4.5 or 4.6 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower Agent’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower Agent) of Commitments of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 4.24 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment section) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or restrict any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 4.24.

(c)No consent of any Lender or any Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (i) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Commitments (or a portion thereof), (ii) with respect to any Extension of the Commitments, the consent of each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender (except to the extent such Swing Line Loan has been terminated by the Borrower Agent) and (iii) to the extent affecting the rights or increasing the obligations of the Administrative Agent beyond those of the type already required to perform under the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, the Borrower Agent will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any such Extensions. All Extended Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a paripassu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, an “Extension Amendment”) with the Borrower Agent and other Loan Parties as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes in respect of Commitments so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent in connection with the establishment of such new Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 4.24, and the effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with such Extension Amendment) on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. No Lender shall be required to participate in any Extension.

(d)In connection with any Extension, the Borrower Agent shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days’ and not more than thirty Business Days’ (or such other period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (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 4.24.

This Section 4.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.16 or 11.1 to the contrary and no conversion of Loans pursuant to any Extension in accordance with this Section 4.24 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement

4.25Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates the Borrower Agent as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including selection of interest rate options, delivery or receipt of communications (including requesting a Borrowing and/or Letters of Credit), receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Administrative Agent or any Lender. The Borrower Agent hereby irrevocably accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication delivered by the Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may give any notice to or communication with a Borrower or other Loan Party hereunder to the Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower or other Loan Party. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with the Borrower Agent for any or all purposes under this Agreement. Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of a Borrower by the Borrower Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

(a)No consent or authorization of, or filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Person (including any Governmental Authority) is required in connection with the extensions of credit made or deemed made hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance by any Loan Party, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Loan Document to the extent that it is a party thereto, or the guarantee of the Obligations pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) filings necessary to perfect Liens created under the Loan Documents and (iii) those consents, authorizations, filings and notices, the failure of which to obtain or make could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.8Federal Regulation. No extensions of credit hereunder will be used for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board. No Group Member is engaged or will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under said Regulation U.

5.9No Default or Breach. Except as set forth in the SEC Filings made prior to the Effective Date or on Schedule 5.9, no Group Member is in default or breach (i) in the payment or performance of any of its Contractual Obligations (other than Indebtedness) in any respect which would have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) under any condition, term or requirement of any FCC License or any order, award or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator binding upon or affecting it or by which any of its properties or assets may be bound or affected in any respect which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a)As of the Effective Date, Schedule 5.12 sets forth all FCC Licenses held by any Group Member (and the respective holders of such FCC Licenses) and all other licenses and permits issued by any Governmental Authority which are held by any Group Member that are in effect as of the Effective Date and are material to the business of the Group Members.

5.13Intellectual Property. Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does any Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of Intellectual Property by the Group Members does not infringe on the rights of any Person in a manner that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.16Environmental Matters. (%3) Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings or on Schedule 5.16, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, the Properties do not contain any Materials of Environmental Concern in concentrations which constitute a violation of, or would reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, Environmental Laws that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) None of the written reports, financial statements, certificates or other written information (other than projections, budgets or other estimates or forward-looking statements or information of a general economic or industry nature or reports or studies prepared by third parties that were not expressly commissioned by a Group Member (collectively, the “Projections”)), taken as a whole, furnished by or on behalf of any Group Member to the Administrative Agent or any Lender prior to the Effective Date in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished prior to the Effective Date) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading; provided that, with respect to Projections, the Borrowers represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Borrowers to be reasonable at the time such Projections were prepared, it being understood that Projections by their nature are uncertain and no assurance is given that the results reflected in such Projections will be achieved.

(a)As of the Effective Date, the information included in each Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct in all respects.

5.18Security Documents.

8.18Financial Covenant

(a)During the continuance of any Compliance Event, subject to clause (b) below, permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to be less than 1.00:1.00, tested immediately upon the occurrence of a Compliance Event and as of the last day of the most recent Test Period during the continuance of a Compliance Event.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9, in the event of any Event of Default occurring as a result of a breach of the covenant set forth in Section 8.18(a), until the expiration of the tenth day after the date on which the financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or (b), as applicable, with respect to any fiscal quarter hereunder, Intermediate Holdings may issue equity (provided such equity issuance does not result in a Change in Control and constitutes common equity or which is not Disqualified Stock) and contribute the net cash proceeds received therefrom to the capital of New Holdings as cash common equity (a “Specified Equity Contribution”)) in order to remediate any Event of Default that has occurred with respect to Section 8.18(a) for such fiscal quarter. Upon receipt of such Specified Equity Contribution in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the amount of the proceeds thereof shall, solely for the purposes (and subject to the limitations) hereinafter described in this Section 8.18(b), increase Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter (and any subsequent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters that includes such fiscal quarter) and if, after giving effect to such increase in Consolidated EBITDA, New Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall then be in compliance with the requirements of Section 8.18(a), New Holdings shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements set forth therein as of the relevant four fiscal quarter period with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement; provided that such net cash proceeds (i) are actually received by New Holdings (through a capital contribution of such proceeds by Intermediate Holdings to New Holdings) no later than ten days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such fiscal quarter hereunder and (ii) do not exceed the aggregate amount necessary to cure (by addition to Consolidated EBITDA) such Event of Default under Section 8.18(a) for such period. The parties hereto acknowledge that a given Specified Equity Contribution may not be counted as having been made in more than one fiscal quarter. The parties hereby acknowledge that thisSection 8.18(b) may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any financial ratios other than as applicable to Section 8.18(a) and shall not be included for purposes of determining pricing, fees or any financial ratio-based conditions (including, without limitation, compliance with any covenant or condition other than Section 8.18(a) itself which requires a determination of whether the financial covenant in Section 8.18(a) is satisfied, whether or not same would otherwise be applicable) or any baskets with respect to the covenants or conditions contained in this Agreement. There shall be no pro forma or other reduction in Indebtedness with the proceeds of any Specified Equity Contribution (including by way of netting) for purposes of determining compliance with Section 8.18(a) in the fiscal quarter in which a Specified Equity Contribution is made; provided that such Specified Equity Contribution may reduce Indebtedness in a subsequent fiscal quarter.

(i)In each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which no cure set forth in Section 8.18(b) is made. In addition, any reduction in Indebtedness (or increase in cash for netting purposes) with the proceeds of any Specified Equity Contribution made pursuant to Section 8.18(b) shall be ignored for purposes of determining compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 8.18(a), except for determinations, including increases in cash for netting purposes, made pursuant to Section 8.18(a) for fiscal quarters after the respective fiscal quarter in which such Event of Default is remediated by such Specified Equity Contribution.

(ii)There shall be no more than five cures under Section 8.18(a) from the date hereof through the Latest Maturity Date.

(iii)If notice has been delivered to the Administrative Agent of a Specified Equity Contribution (such notice to be delivered on or prior to the date on which the applicable financial statements are required to be delivered and containing reasonable detail on the terms and conditions of the Specified Equity Contribution), then from the last day of the fiscal quarter related to such cure notice until the required date for receipt of the Specified Equity Contribution, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred under the Loan Documents with respect to any default under Section 8.18(a) for which such cure notice was delivered unless the fifteen day period set forth in clause (a) above has expired without the Specified Equity Contribution having been received; provided that until the occurrence of the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 6.2 and the receipt of such Specified Equity Contribution, no Lender shall be obligated to make any Revolving Loan, no Swing Line Loans shall be made and no Issuing Bank shall issue any Letter of Credit.

8.19Prohibition on Division/Series Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8 or any other provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (a) no Loan Party shall enter into (or agree to enter into) any Division/Series Transaction, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to enter into (or agree to enter into), any Division/Series Transaction and (b) none of the provisions in this Section 8 nor any other provision in this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, shall be deemed to permit any Division/Series Transaction, in the case of each of preceding clauses (a) and/or (b), without the prior written consent of the Lenders obtained in compliance with Section 11.1.

SECTION 10.THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1Authorization and Action. (a) Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints DBNY and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender and each Issuing Bank authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(b)     As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Requirement of Law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to New Holdings, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in each instance where discretionary rights or powers conferred upon the Administrative Agent may be exercised or refrained from being exercised, the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to consult with, or seek the affirmative or negative vote from, the Required Lenders or, if otherwise applicable, the Lenders, and it may do so pursuant to a negative notice or otherwise.

(c)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; business interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental action.

(d)    The Administrative Agent shall not be (i) required to qualify in any jurisdiction in which it is not presently qualified to perform its obligations as Administrative Agent or (ii) required to take any enforcement action against a Loan Party or any other obligor outside of the United States.

(e)     In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(ii)nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(f)     The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.

The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

(g)     In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any 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 any of the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i)to file and prove a claim for 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 under Sections 4.7, 4.10, 4.18, 4.20 and 11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii)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 proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each other Secured Party 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 or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 11.5). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

(h)     The provisions of this Section 10.1 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and, except solely to the extent of any Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of New Holdings or any Subsidiary shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.

(c)     Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 11.6, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 11.6(d), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

(d)     Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent (x) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (y) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report, (iii) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports, (iv) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement and (v) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender in breach of its obligations hereunder.

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

10.3Posting of Communications. (a) The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(b)     Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(c)     THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

“Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.

(d)     Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(e)     Each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(f)     Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

(g)    The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”).  The Borrowers hereby agree that so long as any Loan Party is the issuer of any outstanding debt or equity securities that are registered or issued pursuant to a private offering or is actively contemplating issuing any such securities it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Loan Parties  under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Loan Parties shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 11.15); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform not designated “Public Investor.” The Borrowers agree that (i) any Loan Documents and notifications of changes of terms of the Loan Documents (including term sheets) and (ii) any materials delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 will be deemed to be “public-side” Borrower Materials and may be made available to Public Lenders.

10.4The Administrative Agent Individually. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent applicable, have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent. The terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”, “Super Majority Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include, if applicable, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Required Lenders and/or Super Majority Lenders, as applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, New Holdings, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.5Successor Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower Agent, and the Required Lenders may remove the Administrative Agent for any reason upon 20 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent, in each case whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent with the approval of the Borrower Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and not required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. In either case (whether a resignation or a removal), such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower Agent (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall, in the event that a successor Administrative Agent is being appointed at the time of such resignation or removal, take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. A retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall, in the event that a successor Administrative Agent is not appointed at the time of such resignation or removal, take all actions reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Required Lenders (for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 60 days) (including providing the Borrower Agent and the Required Lenders with a copy of the Register and other documents and information in the possession of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent that is reasonably requested by the Required Lenders or the Borrower Agent) in connection with (x) in the case of the Required Lenders, the Required Lenders’ performance of the duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and (y) in the case of the Borrowers, the Borrowers’ obligation to make payments directly to the Lenders and provide notices and information directly to the Lenders.

(b)     Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 10.5, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment (x) within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign or (y) within 20 days after the removed Administrative Agent receives notice of its removal, as applicable, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower Agent or the Required Lenders may give notice of the effectiveness of the removal of the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent, as applicable, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation or removal stated in such notice, (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Document and Loan Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case solely until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 4.20 and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the effectiveness of such resignation or retirement); provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.5, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) above.

(c)    Any resignation by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swing Line Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as an Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swing Line Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation, so long as such Letters of Credit or LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans remain outstanding and not otherwise Cash Collateralized in accordance with the terms herein.

10.6Acknowledgements of Lenders. (a) Each Lender represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning New Holdings and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b)    Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.

10.7Collateral Matters. (a) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.7(b) or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b)     [Reserved]

(c)     The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.3(h). The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for (i) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the security interest or Lien granted under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the filing, re-filing, recording, re-recording or continuing any document, financing statement, Mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any time or times or (iii) providing, maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to any of the Collateral. The actions described in items (i) through (iii) shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrowers.

10.8Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent (or its sub-agents as designated) shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent (or its sub-agents as designated) shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 11.1 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent (or its sub-agents as designated) on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

In the case of any waiver, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Loans, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrowers, may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document.

In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice from the Borrower Agent to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (i) (a) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (b) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (c) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 11.6(d) and (d) such assignee has consented to the Proposed Change and (ii) substantially concurrently with satisfaction of the requirements set forth in clause (i) of this proviso, such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned and delegated its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and such Non-Consenting Lender shall not be required to execute the Assignment and Assumption in connection therewith.

11.2Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy or electronic transmission), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered by hand on a Business Day during recipient’s normal business hours, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when sent on a Business Day and received during recipient’s normal business hours with confirmation of receipt received, addressed as follows in the case of each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent, and as set forth on its signature page hereto in the case of any Lender, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto and any future holders of the Loans:

All amounts due under this Section 11.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

11.6Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Lenders.

(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Intermediate Holdings, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Loans, Commitments and/or related Revolving Exposure, and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate or branch of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b)Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions or Lender Affiliates (other than any Person that is not an Eligible Assignee) (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any participating interest of such Lender in any Letter of Credit, any Commitment of such Lender and/or any other interest of such Lender hereunder (including for the purposes of this Section 11.6(b), its LC Exposure and Swing Line Exposure) and under the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, each Lender shall have the right to sell one or more participations in all or any part of its Loans, Commitments, related Revolving Exposure and/or any other Obligations to one or more lenders or other Persons that provide financing to such Lender in the form of sales and repurchases of participations without having to satisfy the foregoing requirements. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan, Commitment, related Revolving Exposure and/or other obligation for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby pursuant to Section 11.1(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Loan to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any Loan; provided that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of setoff if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating interest to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), as provided in Section 11.7. The Borrowers also agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and shall be subject to the limitations of, Sections 4.17, 4.18, 4.19 and 4.20 with respect to its participation in the Loans, Commitments and/or other related Revolving Exposure outstanding from time to time; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive (i) any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred or (ii) the benefits of Section 4.20 unless such Participant complies with Section 4.20(g) as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.20(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall 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 Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments and/or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that any Loan, Letter of Credit or Note is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(c)Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(i)the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or a portion of a Loan, a Commitment and/or other Revolving Exposure to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund;

(ii)(1) each Issuing Bank; provided that no consent of the Issuing Banks shall be required for (x) any assignment not related to Commitments or Revolving Exposure or (y) an assignment of all or a portion of a Loan to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund and (2) each Swing Line Lender at the time of such assignment; provided that no consent of the Swing Line Lender shall be required for (x) any assignment not relating to Swing Line Commitments, Swing Line Exposure, Commitments or Revolving Exposure or (y) an assignment of all or a portion of a Loan to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund; and

(iii)the Borrower Agent; provided that (A) (i) no consent of the Borrower Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund or (ii) if an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (B) the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless the Borrower Agent has objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof,

sell to any Eligible Assignee (an “Assignee”), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (except as otherwise permitted by Section 4.22 and Section 11.1) and, to the extent their consent is required, the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below); provided that (A) each such sale pursuant to this Section 11.6(c) of less than all of a Lender’s rights and obligations (I) to a Person which is not then a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund shall be of Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure, as applicable, of not less than $1,000,000 and (II) to a Person which is then a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund may be in any amount and (B) each Assignee shall comply with the provisions of Section 4.20 hereof; provided, further that the foregoing shall not prohibit a Lender from selling participating interests in accordance with Section 11.6(a) in all or any portion of its Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure (without duplication). For purposes of clause (A) of the first proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Lender Affiliates, if any. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with the Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure as set forth therein and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest transferred, as reflected in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20 and 11.5). Such Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Assignee and the resulting adjustment of Pro Rata Percentages arising from the purchase by such Assignee of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such assigning Lender under this Agreement.

Each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee is an Eligible Assignee or have any liability with respect to any assignment made to a Disqualified Lender or any other Person that is not an Eligible Assignee or enforcing the list of Disqualified Lenders.

If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Lender, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice from the Borrower Agent to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of outstanding Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure held by such Disqualified Lender, prepay such Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure, in each case, plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 11.6), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrowers, the Borrower Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lenders consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any Bankruptcy Plan, each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Bankruptcy Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on such Bankruptcy Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Bankruptcy Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

For the purposes of this Section 11.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a Disqualified Person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(d)The Administrative Agent acting on behalf of and as agent for the Borrowers, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 11.2 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amount (and stated interest) of Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure of, each Lender. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender, an Assignee and any other party required to executed such Assignment and Assumption pursuant to this Section 11.6, together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (x) in the case of an assignee which is already a Lender or is an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender or (y) if waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto, record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower Agent. The Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about New Holdings and its Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(e)The Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee or to any pledgee referred to in Section 11.6(f) or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those of Section 11.15) any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning New Holdings and its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of New Holdings and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that no such information shall be provided by any Lender to any Disqualified Lender.

(f)For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans, Notes, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment (i) by a Lender of any Loan, Note, Commitment and/or other Revolving Exposure to any Federal Reserve Bank or central bank having jurisdiction over such lender in accordance with applicable law and (ii) by a Lender Affiliate which is a fund to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided that any transfer of Loans, Notes, Commitments and/or other Revolving Exposure upon, or in lieu of, enforcement of or the exercise of remedies under any such pledge shall be treated as an assignment thereof which shall not be made without compliance with the requirements of this Section 11.6.

(g)The Borrowers, upon receipt by the Borrower Agent of written notice from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (f) above.

11.7Adjustments; Set-off.

(a)Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement (including Sections 4.23, 4.24 and 11.6), if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of any of its Loans, the Protective Advances or LC Disbursements, or in each case, interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9(f), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, the Protective Advances or LC Disbursements, or in each case, interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, interests in Protective Advances and/or LC Disbursements, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrowers agree that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans, interests in Protective Advances and/or LC Disbursements may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give the Borrower Agent notice of any set-off, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off.

(b)Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9(a) or Section 9(f), the Administrative Agent and each Lender are hereby irrevocably authorized at any time and from time to time without notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being hereby waived by the Borrowers, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, on account of the liabilities of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and claims of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent or such Lender against the Borrowers in any currency, whether arising hereunder, or otherwise, under any other Loan Document as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender has made any demand for payment and although such liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall notify the Borrower Agent (and in the case of a setoff made by a Lender, the Administrative Agent) promptly of any such setoff made by it and the application made by it of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.

11.8Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

(b)none of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the Documentation Agent or any Lender has any fiduciary relationship to any Loan Party, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the Documentation Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor; and

(c)no joint venture exists among the Lenders or among any Loan Parties and the Lenders.

11.13Releases of Guarantees and Liens.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 11.1) and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to take any action requested by the Borrower Agent having the effect of releasing or evidencing the release of any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 11.1 or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below.

(b)At such time as the Loans and the other obligations under the Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnity obligations not due and payable) shall have been paid in full in cash, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

11.14Joint and Several Liability. Each of the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable with the other Borrowers for the Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges that it is a co-borrower hereunder and is jointly and severally liable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any payment made by a Borrower in respect of Obligations owing by one or more Borrowers shall be deemed a payment of such Obligations by and on behalf of all Borrowers. All Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit deemed to be (i) in the case of Loans (including Swing Line Loans), extended to or on behalf of any Borrower shall be deemed to be Loans or Swing Line Loans (as applicable) extended for or on behalf of each of the Borrowers and (ii) in the case of Letters of Credit, issued by or on behalf of any Borrower shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued by or on behalf of each of the Borrowers.

Each Borrower agrees that the joint and several liability of the Borrowers provided for in this Section 11.14 shall not be impaired or affected by any modification, supplement, extension or amendment or any contract or agreement to which the other Borrowers may hereafter agree (other than an agreement signed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders specifically releasing such liability), nor by any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any of the Obligations, nor by any other agreements or arrangements whatsoever with the other Borrowers or with any other Person, each Borrower hereby waiving all notice of such delay, extension, release, substitution, renewal, compromise or other indulgence, and hereby consenting to be bound thereby as fully and effectually as if it had expressly agreed thereto in advance. The liability of each Borrower is direct and unconditional as to all Obligations, and may be enforced without requiring the Administrative Agent or any Lender first to resort to any other right, remedy or security. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, each Borrower hereby expressly waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations, the Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Borrower or any other person or any Collateral.

Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and releases each other Borrower from all “claims” (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) to which such Borrower is or would be entitled by virtue of the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 11.14 or the performance of such Borrower’s obligations thereunder with respect to any right of subrogation (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise), reimbursement, contribution, exoneration or similar right, or indemnity, or any right of recourse to security for any Obligations.

11.15Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all Information (as defined below) provided to it by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any pledgee referred to in Section 11.6(f) or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Swap Agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its Affiliates or to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its Affiliates (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed (other than in violation of this Section 11.15), (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender (it being understood that any rating agency to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential) or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided that, unless prohibited by applicable law or court order, such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower Agent of any disclosure pursuant to clauses (d) or (e). For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to New Holdings, its Subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.

Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about any Borrower and its Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

11.16Usury Savings. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged hereunder, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law, shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate (as such term is defined below). If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate (as defined below), the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if and when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrowers to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrowers. As used in this paragraph, the term “Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum lawful interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under the laws applicable to such Lender which are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by law, under such applicable laws which may hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow.

11.17Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.18Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and each other Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and each other Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers and each other Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

11.19Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

11.20Conditional Restrictions on Parent. As a condition to the Borrowers’ providing financial statements of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries (in lieu of the financial statements of New Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries) pursuant to the second to last paragraph of Section 7.1, Parent hereby agrees that at all times during any fiscal period with respect to which financial statements provided under Section 7.1(a) or (b) are in respect of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries, Parent will not (a) own any material property other than (x) the Capital Stock in Intermediate Holdings, (y) cash and Cash Equivalents received from distributions from Intermediate Holdings permitted by Section 8.8, and (z) tax refunds, insurance payments and settlements that in each case are promptly contributed to New Holdings, (b) have any material liabilities other than (i)  under documents evidencing the Restructuring Transactions and contracts and agreements (including with respect to indemnities, employee and director benefit plans, stock compensation plans and restricted stock plans) with its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, consultants and employees relating to their employment, services or directorships, (ii) tax liabilities in the ordinary course of business and (iii) corporate overhead expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business (including expenses relating to insurance) or (c) engage in any business other than (i) owning the Capital Stock in Intermediate Holdings, and activities incidental or related thereto, (ii) activities related to maintaining its listing as a public company on any applicable exchange and (iii) performing its obligations under documents evidencing the Restructuring Transactions and contracts and agreements (including with respect to indemnities, employee and director benefit plans, stock compensation plans and restricted stock plans) with its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, consultants and employees relating to their employment, services or directorships.

11.21Secured Swap Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements. At any time prior to or within 30 days after any Loan Party enters into any Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, if the applicable Loan Party and counterparty desire that the monetary obligations in respect of such Swap Agreement or the Cash Management Obligations in respect of such Cash Management Agreement be treated as an “Obligation” hereunder with rights in respect of payment of proceeds of the Collateral in accordance with the waterfall provisions set forth in the applicable Security Documents, the Borrower Agent and the counterparty to such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, may notify the Administrative Agent in writing (to be acknowledged by the Administrative Agent (provided that the failure to provide such acknowledgement shall not affect the treatment of such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement as a “Secured Swap Agreement” or “Secured Cash Management Agreement”, as applicable)) that (x) such Swap Agreement is to be a “Secured Swap Agreement” (a “Secured Swap Agreement”) or (y) such Cash Management Agreement is to be a “Secured Cash Management Agreement” (a “Secured Cash Management Agreement”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(a)in the case of a Swap Agreement, such Swap Agreement is entered into with a Qualified Counterparty;

(b)in the case of a Cash Management Agreement, such Cash Management Agreement is with a counterparty that is the Administrative Agent, an Arranger or a Lender or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or a Lender; and

(c)in the case of all such agreements, the obligations of the Loan Parties thereunder have not been designated as “Obligations” under and as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

Until such time as the Borrower Agent and the counterparty to such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, deliver (and the Administrative Agent acknowledges (provided that the failure to provide such acknowledgement shall not affect the treatment of such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement as a “Secured Swap Agreement” or “Secured Cash Management Agreement”, as applicable)) such notice as described above, such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement shall not constitute a Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be. The parties hereto understand and agree that the provisions of this Section 11.21 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, which become parties to Secured Swap Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements, as applicable, and agree that any amendments or modifications to the provisions of this Section 11.21 shall not be effective with respect to any Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, entered into prior to the date of the respective amendment or modification of this Section 11.21 (without the written consent of the relevant parties thereto). The Administrative Agent accepts no responsibility and shall have no liability for the calculation of the exposure owing by the Loan Parties under any such Secured Swap Agreement and/or Secured Cash Management Agreement, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled in all cases to rely on the applicable notice provided by the Borrower Agent and the applicable counterparty to such Swap Agreement or Cash Management Agreement as set forth above. No Secured Party that obtains the benefits of the guarantee set forth in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender, an Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or the Administrative Agent and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

Nature of Business, Interim Financial Data and Basis of Presentation

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Nature of Business, Interim Financial Data and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business, Interim Financial Data and Basis of Presentation:

Cumulus Media Inc. (and its consolidated subsidiaries, except as the context may otherwise require, “CUMULUS MEDIA,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation, organized in 2018, and successor to a Delaware corporation with the same name that had been organized in 2002.

Nature of Business

A leader in the radio broadcasting industry, CUMULUS MEDIA combines high-quality local programming with iconic, nationally syndicated media, sports and entertainment brands to deliver premium content choices to the 245 million people reached each week through its 441 owned-and-operated stations broadcasting in 90 U.S. media markets (including eight of the top 10), approximately 8,000 broadcast radio stations affiliated with its Westwood One network and numerous digital channels. Together, the Cumulus Radio Station Group and Westwood One platforms make CUMULUS MEDIA one of the few media companies that can provide advertisers with national reach and local impact. The Cumulus Radio Station Group and Westwood One are the exclusive radio broadcast partners to some of the largest brands in sports, entertainment, news, and talk, including the NFL, the NCAA, the Masters, the Olympics, the GRAMMYs, the Academy of Country Music Awards, the American Music Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, and more. Additionally, the Company is the nation's leading provider of country music and lifestyle content through its NASH brand, which serves country fans nationwide through radio programming, exclusive digital content, and live events.

Basis of Presentation

As previously disclosed, on November 29, 2017 (the “Petition Date”), CM Wind Down Topco Inc. (formerly known as Cumulus Media Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Old Cumulus”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Bankruptcy Petitions”) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (the "Chapter 11 Cases") were jointly administered under the caption In re Cumulus Media Inc., et al, Case No. 17-13381. On May 10, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order Confirming the Debtors’ First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization [Docket No. 769] (the “Confirmation Order”), which confirmed the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Cumulus Media Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code [Docket No. 446] (the “Plan”), as modified by the Confirmation Order. On June 4, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), Old Cumulus satisfied the conditions to effectiveness set forth in the Confirmation Order and in the Plan, the Plan was substantially consummated, and Old Cumulus and the other Debtors emerged from Chapter 11. On June 29, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order closing the Chapter 11 Cases of all of the Debtors other than Old Cumulus, whose case will remain open for purposes of fully administering its estate, including reconciling claims subject to compromise under the Plan. Although Old Cumulus emerged from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date, the Old Cumulus Chapter 11 Case will remain open until its estate has been fully administered and the Bankruptcy Court enters an order closing its case.

In connection with its emergence, Old Cumulus implemented a series of internal reorganization transactions authorized by the Plan pursuant to which it transferred substantially all of its remaining assets to an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of reorganized Cumulus Media Inc. (formerly known as CM Emergence Newco Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“CUMULUS MEDIA” or the “Company”), prior to winding down its business. References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relate to the balance sheet and results of operations of CUMULUS MEDIA on and subsequent to June 4, 2018. References to “Predecessor”, “Predecessor Company” or “Old Cumulus” refer to the balance sheet and results of operations of Old Cumulus prior to June 4, 2018.

Upon emergence from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date, the Company has applied Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852 - Reorganizations (“ASC 852”) in preparing its consolidated financial statements (see Note 2, “Emergence from Chapter 11” and Note 3 “Fresh Start Accounting”). As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan, a new entity for financial reporting purposes was created, and as such the consolidated financial statements on and after June 4, 2018 are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements prior to that date. Refer to Note 3, “Fresh Start Accounting” for additional information.

Subsequent to the Petition Date and before the Effective Date, all expenses, gains and losses directly associated with the reorganization proceedings are reported as Reorganization items, net, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, liabilities subject to compromise during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases are distinguished from liabilities of the Company that are not expected to be compromised, including post-petition liabilities, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Interim Financial Data

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, other than bankruptcy related adjustments as described in Note 3, "Fresh Start Accounting", consist of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations for, and financial condition as of the end of, the interim periods have been made. The results of operations and cash flows of the Successor for the period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018 and of the Predecessor for the period from April 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018 and the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows that can be expected for, or the Company’s financial condition that can be expected as of the end of, any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with CUMULUS MEDIA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Going Concern

In accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), and ASC 205-40, the Company has the responsibility to evaluate at each reporting period, including interim periods, whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations. In its evaluation for this report, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and the Company’s conditional and unconditional obligations due within one year following the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern was contingent upon a variety of factors, including the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Plan and the Company’s ability to successfully implement the Plan. As a result of the effectiveness of the Plan, the Company believes it has the ability to meet its obligations for at least one year from the date of issuance of this Form 10-Q.

Assets Held for Sale

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain land in the Company's Washington, DC market to a third party. The closing of the transaction is subject to various conditions and approvals which remain pending. The asset was classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2017, the sale of this asset was subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, and consequently, the asset no longer met the definition of held for sale and was classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as Property and Equipment, net. As a result of the Company's emergence from Chapter 11, as of June 30, 2018, the asset again met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. 

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

The following summarizes supplemental cash flow information to be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the Period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018 (Successor), Period from January 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018 (Predecessor) and the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 (Predecessor):

Recent Accounting Standards Updates

ASU 2016-02 - Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, which provides updated guidance for the accounting for leases. This update requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases with a term longer than one year. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, thereby impacting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and plans to adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2019.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

ASU 2014-09 and related updates - Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09") or ("ASC 606"). On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services and satisfaction of performance obligations to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applied the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards. There was not a material impact to revenues as a result of the recognition of revenue in accordance with ASC 606 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and there have not been significant changes to the Company's business processes, systems, or internal controls as a result of implementing the standard. See Note 4, "Revenues" for further details.

ASU 2016-01 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"). In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 which enhances the reporting model for financial instruments including aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. This ASU revises the accounting requirements related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. This ASU also changes certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. These changes require an entity to measure, at fair value, investments in equity securities and other ownership interests in an entity - including investments in partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and limited liability companies that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method - and recognize the changes in fair value within net income. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2018-03") which provides an option for a company to "un-elect" the measurement alternative and elect to account for the investment at fair value through current earnings for certain equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. However, once a company makes this election for a particular investment, it must apply the fair value through current earnings model to all identical investments and/or similar investments from the same issuer. Further, a company cannot elect the measurement alternative for future purchases of identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. The Company un-elected the measurement alternative and will continue to value joint venture investments at fair value through current earnings. As such, there was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2016-15 - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"). In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 which provides guidance for several new and/or revised disclosures pertaining to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows, including contingent consideration payments made after a business acquisition. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 as of January 1, 2018 and there was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2016-18 - Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"). In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 which provides guidance for the accounting for the disclosure of restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 as of January 1, 2018. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018, restricted cash balances were included along with cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the period and beginning of the period, respectively, in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows for all periods presented. Additionally, separate line items showing changes in restricted cash balances have been eliminated from the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

ASU 2017-01 - Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis and there was no material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2017-09 - Scope of Modification Accounting ("ASU 2017-09"). In May 2017, the FASB issued an update to guidance on Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based award must be accounted for as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award, as equity or liability, changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 as of January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis and there was no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Reorganizations [Abstract]

Emergence from Chapter 11

Emergence from Chapter 11

On May 10, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order confirming the Plan. On the Effective Date, the Plan became effective and the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11.

Plan of Reorganization

A plan of reorganization determines the rights and satisfaction of claims of various creditors and security holders, but the ultimate settlement of certain claims is subject to the uncertain outcome of any litigation, negotiations and bankruptcy court decisions for a period of time after a plan of reorganization is confirmed.

Cancellation of Certain Prepetition Obligations

In connection with the effectiveness of and pursuant to the terms of the Plan, on the Effective Date, the obligations of Old Cumulus and its subsidiaries under the following agreements were satisfied and discharged:

• Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2013, by and among Cumulus Media Inc., Cumulus Media Holdings Inc., as borrower, certain lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender and Administrative Agent, Royal Bank of Canada and Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., as co-syndication agents, and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, Fifth Third Bank, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and ING Capital LLC, as co-documentation agents (“the Canceled Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which Old Cumulus had outstanding term loans in the amount of $1.7 billion (the “Predecessor Term Loan”);

• Indenture, dated as of May 13, 2011, among Cumulus Media Inc., the Guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, as supplemented (“7.75% Senior Notes”), pursuant to which Old Cumulus had outstanding senior notes with a face value of $610.0 million; and

• Rights Agreement, dated as of June 5, 2017, between Cumulus Media Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agreement”).

Additional Matters Contemplated by the Plan

• In accordance with the Plan, on the Effective Date each share of Old Cumulus’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “old Class A common stock”), Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “old Class B common stock”), and Class C common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "old Class C common stock" and together with the old Class A common stock and the old Class B common stock, the “old common stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date, including all stock options, warrants or other rights, including rights issued under the Rights Agreement, to purchase such old common stock, were extinguished, canceled and discharged, and each such share, option or warrant has no further force or effect. Furthermore, all of Old Cumulus’s equity award agreements under prior incentive plans, and the awards granted pursuant thereto, were extinguished, canceled and discharged and have no further force or effect;

• On the Effective Date, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to authorize the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0000001 per share (“new Class A common stock”),100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0000001 per share (“new Class B common stock” and, together with the new Class A common stock, the “new common stock”) and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock (see Note 11, “Stockholders’ Equity”);

• On the Effective Date, the Company issued 11,052,211 shares of new Class A common stock and 5,218,209 shares of new Class B common stock;

• On the Effective Date, the Company issued 3,016,853 Series 1 warrants to purchase shares of new common stock;

• After the Effective Date, the Company also issued or will issue 712,736 Series 2 warrants (the “Series 2 warrants” and, together with the Series 1 warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of new common stock;

• The Company entered into a $1.3 billion credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement” or “Term Loan”) with Wilmington Trust, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”) and the lenders named therein (see Note 8, “Long-Term Debt”);

• The holders of claims with respect to the Predecessor Term Loan received the following in full and complete satisfaction of their respective claims thereunder: (i) a pro rata share of the Term Loan and (ii) a pro rata share of 83.5% of the new common stock and warrants issued, subject to dilution by certain issuances under the Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) (see Note 11, “Stockholders’ Equity”);

• The holders of unsecured claims against Old Cumulus including claims arising from the 7.75% Senior Notes received, in the aggregate, 16.5% of the new common stock and warrants issued, subject to dilution by certain issuances under the Incentive Plan;

• The Company’s board of directors wasreconstituted to consist of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and six independent directors selected by the holders of the Predecessor Term Loan; and

• Intercompany Claims and Interests (as defined in the Plan) were canceled without any distribution on account of such Intercompany Claims and Interests.

The foregoing description of certain matters effected pursuant to the Plan, and the transactions related to and contemplated thereunder, is not intended to be a complete description of, or a substitute for, a full and complete reading of the Plan.

Fresh Start Accounting

In connection with the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date, the Company qualified for fresh start accounting under ASC 852 as (i) the holders of voting shares of the Predecessor Company received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Successor Company and (ii) the reorganization value of the Company’s assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. ASC 852 requires that fresh start accounting be applied when the Bankruptcy Court enters a confirmation order confirming a plan of reorganization, or as of a later date when all material conditions precedent to the effectiveness of a plan of reorganization are resolved, which for CUMULUS MEDIA was June 4, 2018. The Company has applied fresh start accounting as of the Effective Date.

Upon the application of fresh start accounting, CUMULUS MEDIA allocated the reorganization value to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values in conformity with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company’s assets before considering liabilities. Liabilities existing as of the Effective Date, other than deferred taxes, were recorded at the present value of amounts expected to be paid using appropriate risk adjusted interest rates. Deferred taxes were determined in conformity with applicable accounting standards. Predecessor Company accumulated depreciation, accumulated amortization, and accumulated deficit were eliminated. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan, the Company’s consolidated financial statements after June 3, 2018 are not comparable to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of or prior to that date.

Reorganization Value

As set forth in the Plan, the enterprise value of the Successor Company was estimated to be between $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion. Based on the estimates and assumptions discussed below, CUMULUS MEDIA estimated the enterprise value to be $1.675 billion, which was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

Management estimated the enterprise value of the Successor Company utilizing the guideline public company method and discounted cash flow method (“DCF”). The use of each approach provides corroboration for the other approach. To estimate enterprise value utilizing the guideline public company method, management applied valuation multiples, derived from the operating data of publicly-traded benchmark companies, to the same operating data of CUMULUS MEDIA. The guideline public company analysis identified a group of comparable companies giving consideration to lines of business and markets served, size and geography. The valuation multiples were derived based on projected financial measures of revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and applied to projected operating data of CUMULUS MEDIA.

To estimate enterprise value utilizing the discounted cash flow method, management established an estimate of future cash flows for the period 2018 to 2024 with a terminal value and discounted the estimated future cash flows to present value. The expected cash flows for the period 2018 to 2024 with a terminal value were based upon certain financial projections and assumptions provided to the Bankruptcy Court. The expected cash flows for the period 2018 to 2024 were derived from earnings forecasts and assumptions regarding growth and margin projections, as applicable. A terminal value was included, calculated using the constant growth method, based on the cash flows of the final year of the forecast period.

The Company’s enterprise value represents the fair value of its interest-bearing debt and equity capital, while the reorganization value is derived from the enterprise value by adding back non-interest-bearing liabilities. The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the estimated reorganization value as of the Effective Date (dollars in thousands):

Enterprise value	$	1,675,000
Less: Cash balance difference (1)	(20,000		)
Less: Effect of deferred tax liability (2)	(30,000		)
Plus: Fair value of non-debt current liabilities	114,573
Plus: Fair value of non-debt long term liabilities	63,921
Reorganization value	$	1,803,494

(1) Difference in the estimated cash balance in the reorganization value versus the actual cash on hand as of June 3, 2018.

(2) Difference in the assumed effect of deferred taxes in the reorganization value versus the actual deferred taxes as of June 3, 2018.

Less: accumulated depreciation		—		(320,477		)
Property and equipment, net		$	315,306	$	193,574

To estimate the fair value of personal property such as broadcasting and other equipment, the Company utilized a combination of the cost approach and market approach. The Company recognized the contributory value associated with the necessary installation, engineering, and set-up costs related to the installed complement of equipment by using the cost approach. The market approach was used for assets where a viable, transparent secondary market existed, such as motor vehicle assets.

To estimate the fair value of real property, the Company considered the cost approach and sales comparison approach. Buildings were primarily valued using the cost approach, under which the Company developed a replacement cost new for the improvements and applied deductions for physical depreciation based on the age of the assets. Land was valued under the sales comparison approach, whereby the Company researched transactions involving comparable parcels to provide an indication of the fair value of the various subject parcels.

13. The Company recorded an adjustment to intangible assets of $147.9 million as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Successor Company		Predecessor Company		Difference
Broadcast licenses	$	918,500	$	1,203,809	$	(285,309	)
Other intangible assets	212,458		75,056		137,402
	$	1,130,958	$	1,278,865	$	(147,907	)

The fair values of broadcasting licenses and other intangible assets were determined as follows:

a. Broadcast licenses ($918.5 million as of June 4, 2018): The fair value of broadcast licenses was determined using the Greenfield approach, a derivation of the income approach that isolates the income that is properly attributable to the license alone. It is based upon modeling a hypothetical “Greenfield” build-up to a normalized enterprise that, by design, lacks inherent goodwill and has other assets that have essentially been paid for or added as part of the build-up process.

b. Other intangible assets ($212.5 million as of June 4, 2018):

i. Broadcasting, affiliate and producer relationships ($162.0 million as of June 4, 2018): The customer relationship intangibles including broadcasting and affiliate and producer relationships were valued utilizing the excess earning method, a derivation of the income approach that considers cash flows related to the customers after accounting for a fair return to the other supporting assets of the business.

ii. Trademarks and trade names ($21.2 million as of June 4, 2018): In estimating the fair value of trademarks and trade names, management used the relief from royalty method, a derivation of the income approach, for analyzing the trade names.

iii. Tower income contracts ($15.1 million as of June 4, 2018): The fair value of these were determined utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis.

iv. Advertiser backlog ($12.0 million as of June 4, 2018): The fair value of advertiser backlog was analyzed using the multi-period excess earning method. Estimated duration of advertiser backlog as of the Effective Date was used as a point of recognition for net sales attributable to that backlog.

v. Leasehold intangible asset, net ($2.2 million as of June 4, 2018): The fair value of leasehold interests was determined utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis, wherein leases for real property were assessed for favorable or unfavorable contract rental rates.

14. Reflects the elimination of the Predecessor goodwill balance of $135.2 million.

15. Reflects the elimination of the carrying value of short-term deferred rent to adjust accounts payable and accrued expenses to estimated fair value.

16. Represents the fair value adjustment of the Term Loan including the elimination of debt issuance costs of $18.0 million incurred prior to and upon emergence from bankruptcy. The fair value of debt is comprised of $13.0 million of short-term debt and $1,287.0 million of long-term debt. The fair value of the Term Loan was determined based on a market approach utilizing market yields and was estimated to be 100% of par value.

17. Represents the increase of a liability related to a failed sale leaseback transaction and elimination of the carrying value of long-term deferred rent in accordance with fresh start reporting to adjust net book value to estimated fair value.

18. Reflects the impact of fresh start adjustments on deferred taxes.

19. Reflects the cumulative impact of the fresh start accounting adjustments discussed above on accumulated deficit as follows (dollars in thousands):

Property and equipment fair value adjustment	$	121,732
Intangible assets fair value adjustment	(147,907		)
Goodwill adjustment	(135,214		)
Term Loan fair value adjustment	(18,017		)
Other assets and liabilities fair value adjustments	115
Net loss on fresh start adjustments	$	(179,291	)
Tax impact on fresh start adjustments	10,642
Net impact on retained earnings	$	(168,649	)

Reorganizations [Abstract]

Fresh Start Accounting

Emergence from Chapter 11

On May 10, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order confirming the Plan. On the Effective Date, the Plan became effective and the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11.

Plan of Reorganization

A plan of reorganization determines the rights and satisfaction of claims of various creditors and security holders, but the ultimate settlement of certain claims is subject to the uncertain outcome of any litigation, negotiations and bankruptcy court decisions for a period of time after a plan of reorganization is confirmed.

Cancellation of Certain Prepetition Obligations

In connection with the effectiveness of and pursuant to the terms of the Plan, on the Effective Date, the obligations of Old Cumulus and its subsidiaries under the following agreements were satisfied and discharged:

• Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2013, by and among Cumulus Media Inc., Cumulus Media Holdings Inc., as borrower, certain lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender and Administrative Agent, Royal Bank of Canada and Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., as co-syndication agents, and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, Fifth Third Bank, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and ING Capital LLC, as co-documentation agents (“the Canceled Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which Old Cumulus had outstanding term loans in the amount of $1.7 billion (the “Predecessor Term Loan”);

• Indenture, dated as of May 13, 2011, among Cumulus Media Inc., the Guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, as supplemented (“7.75% Senior Notes”), pursuant to which Old Cumulus had outstanding senior notes with a face value of $610.0 million; and

• Rights Agreement, dated as of June 5, 2017, between Cumulus Media Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agreement”).

Additional Matters Contemplated by the Plan

• In accordance with the Plan, on the Effective Date each share of Old Cumulus’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “old Class A common stock”), Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “old Class B common stock”), and Class C common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "old Class C common stock" and together with the old Class A common stock and the old Class B common stock, the “old common stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date, including all stock options, warrants or other rights, including rights issued under the Rights Agreement, to purchase such old common stock, were extinguished, canceled and discharged, and each such share, option or warrant has no further force or effect. Furthermore, all of Old Cumulus’s equity award agreements under prior incentive plans, and the awards granted pursuant thereto, were extinguished, canceled and discharged and have no further force or effect;

• On the Effective Date, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to authorize the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0000001 per share (“new Class A common stock”),100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0000001 per share (“new Class B common stock” and, together with the new Class A common stock, the “new common stock”) and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock (see Note 11, “Stockholders’ Equity”);

• On the Effective Date, the Company issued 11,052,211 shares of new Class A common stock and 5,218,209 shares of new Class B common stock;

• On the Effective Date, the Company issued 3,016,853 Series 1 warrants to purchase shares of new common stock;

• After the Effective Date, the Company also issued or will issue 712,736 Series 2 warrants (the “Series 2 warrants” and, together with the Series 1 warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of new common stock;

• The Company entered into a $1.3 billion credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement” or “Term Loan”) with Wilmington Trust, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”) and the lenders named therein (see Note 8, “Long-Term Debt”);

• The holders of claims with respect to the Predecessor Term Loan received the following in full and complete satisfaction of their respective claims thereunder: (i) a pro rata share of the Term Loan and (ii) a pro rata share of 83.5% of the new common stock and warrants issued, subject to dilution by certain issuances under the Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) (see Note 11, “Stockholders’ Equity”);

• The holders of unsecured claims against Old Cumulus including claims arising from the 7.75% Senior Notes received, in the aggregate, 16.5% of the new common stock and warrants issued, subject to dilution by certain issuances under the Incentive Plan;

• The Company’s board of directors wasreconstituted to consist of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and six independent directors selected by the holders of the Predecessor Term Loan; and

• Intercompany Claims and Interests (as defined in the Plan) were canceled without any distribution on account of such Intercompany Claims and Interests.

The foregoing description of certain matters effected pursuant to the Plan, and the transactions related to and contemplated thereunder, is not intended to be a complete description of, or a substitute for, a full and complete reading of the Plan.

Fresh Start Accounting

In connection with the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date, the Company qualified for fresh start accounting under ASC 852 as (i) the holders of voting shares of the Predecessor Company received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Successor Company and (ii) the reorganization value of the Company’s assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. ASC 852 requires that fresh start accounting be applied when the Bankruptcy Court enters a confirmation order confirming a plan of reorganization, or as of a later date when all material conditions precedent to the effectiveness of a plan of reorganization are resolved, which for CUMULUS MEDIA was June 4, 2018. The Company has applied fresh start accounting as of the Effective Date.

Upon the application of fresh start accounting, CUMULUS MEDIA allocated the reorganization value to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values in conformity with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company’s assets before considering liabilities. Liabilities existing as of the Effective Date, other than deferred taxes, were recorded at the present value of amounts expected to be paid using appropriate risk adjusted interest rates. Deferred taxes were determined in conformity with applicable accounting standards. Predecessor Company accumulated depreciation, accumulated amortization, and accumulated deficit were eliminated. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan, the Company’s consolidated financial statements after June 3, 2018 are not comparable to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of or prior to that date.

Reorganization Value

As set forth in the Plan, the enterprise value of the Successor Company was estimated to be between $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion. Based on the estimates and assumptions discussed below, CUMULUS MEDIA estimated the enterprise value to be $1.675 billion, which was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

Management estimated the enterprise value of the Successor Company utilizing the guideline public company method and discounted cash flow method (“DCF”). The use of each approach provides corroboration for the other approach. To estimate enterprise value utilizing the guideline public company method, management applied valuation multiples, derived from the operating data of publicly-traded benchmark companies, to the same operating data of CUMULUS MEDIA. The guideline public company analysis identified a group of comparable companies giving consideration to lines of business and markets served, size and geography. The valuation multiples were derived based on projected financial measures of revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and applied to projected operating data of CUMULUS MEDIA.

To estimate enterprise value utilizing the discounted cash flow method, management established an estimate of future cash flows for the period 2018 to 2024 with a terminal value and discounted the estimated future cash flows to present value. The expected cash flows for the period 2018 to 2024 with a terminal value were based upon certain financial projections and assumptions provided to the Bankruptcy Court. The expected cash flows for the period 2018 to 2024 were derived from earnings forecasts and assumptions regarding growth and margin projections, as applicable. A terminal value was included, calculated using the constant growth method, based on the cash flows of the final year of the forecast period.

The Company’s enterprise value represents the fair value of its interest-bearing debt and equity capital, while the reorganization value is derived from the enterprise value by adding back non-interest-bearing liabilities. The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the estimated reorganization value as of the Effective Date (dollars in thousands):

Enterprise value	$	1,675,000
Less: Cash balance difference (1)	(20,000		)
Less: Effect of deferred tax liability (2)	(30,000		)
Plus: Fair value of non-debt current liabilities	114,573
Plus: Fair value of non-debt long term liabilities	63,921
Reorganization value	$	1,803,494

(1) Difference in the estimated cash balance in the reorganization value versus the actual cash on hand as of June 3, 2018.

(2) Difference in the assumed effect of deferred taxes in the reorganization value versus the actual deferred taxes as of June 3, 2018.

Less: accumulated depreciation		—		(320,477		)
Property and equipment, net		$	315,306	$	193,574

To estimate the fair value of personal property such as broadcasting and other equipment, the Company utilized a combination of the cost approach and market approach. The Company recognized the contributory value associated with the necessary installation, engineering, and set-up costs related to the installed complement of equipment by using the cost approach. The market approach was used for assets where a viable, transparent secondary market existed, such as motor vehicle assets.

To estimate the fair value of real property, the Company considered the cost approach and sales comparison approach. Buildings were primarily valued using the cost approach, under which the Company developed a replacement cost new for the improvements and applied deductions for physical depreciation based on the age of the assets. Land was valued under the sales comparison approach, whereby the Company researched transactions involving comparable parcels to provide an indication of the fair value of the various subject parcels.

13. The Company recorded an adjustment to intangible assets of $147.9 million as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Successor Company		Predecessor Company		Difference
Broadcast licenses	$	918,500	$	1,203,809	$	(285,309	)
Other intangible assets	212,458		75,056		137,402
	$	1,130,958	$	1,278,865	$	(147,907	)

The fair values of broadcasting licenses and other intangible assets were determined as follows:

a. Broadcast licenses ($918.5 million as of June 4, 2018): The fair value of broadcast licenses was determined using the Greenfield approach, a derivation of the income approach that isolates the income that is properly attributable to the license alone. It is based upon modeling a hypothetical “Greenfield” build-up to a normalized enterprise that, by design, lacks inherent goodwill and has other assets that have essentially been paid for or added as part of the build-up process.

b. Other intangible assets ($212.5 million as of June 4, 2018):

i. Broadcasting, affiliate and producer relationships ($162.0 million as of June 4, 2018): The customer relationship intangibles including broadcasting and affiliate and producer relationships were valued utilizing the excess earning method, a derivation of the income approach that considers cash flows related to the customers after accounting for a fair return to the other supporting assets of the business.

ii. Trademarks and trade names ($21.2 million as of June 4, 2018): In estimating the fair value of trademarks and trade names, management used the relief from royalty method, a derivation of the income approach, for analyzing the trade names.

iii. Tower income contracts ($15.1 million as of June 4, 2018): The fair value of these were determined utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis.

iv. Advertiser backlog ($12.0 million as of June 4, 2018): The fair value of advertiser backlog was analyzed using the multi-period excess earning method. Estimated duration of advertiser backlog as of the Effective Date was used as a point of recognition for net sales attributable to that backlog.

v. Leasehold intangible asset, net ($2.2 million as of June 4, 2018): The fair value of leasehold interests was determined utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis, wherein leases for real property were assessed for favorable or unfavorable contract rental rates.

14. Reflects the elimination of the Predecessor goodwill balance of $135.2 million.

15. Reflects the elimination of the carrying value of short-term deferred rent to adjust accounts payable and accrued expenses to estimated fair value.

16. Represents the fair value adjustment of the Term Loan including the elimination of debt issuance costs of $18.0 million incurred prior to and upon emergence from bankruptcy. The fair value of debt is comprised of $13.0 million of short-term debt and $1,287.0 million of long-term debt. The fair value of the Term Loan was determined based on a market approach utilizing market yields and was estimated to be 100% of par value.

17. Represents the increase of a liability related to a failed sale leaseback transaction and elimination of the carrying value of long-term deferred rent in accordance with fresh start reporting to adjust net book value to estimated fair value.

18. Reflects the impact of fresh start adjustments on deferred taxes.

19. Reflects the cumulative impact of the fresh start accounting adjustments discussed above on accumulated deficit as follows (dollars in thousands):

Property and equipment fair value adjustment	$	121,732
Intangible assets fair value adjustment	(147,907		)
Goodwill adjustment	(135,214		)
Term Loan fair value adjustment	(18,017		)
Other assets and liabilities fair value adjustments	115
Net loss on fresh start adjustments	$	(179,291	)
Tax impact on fresh start adjustments	10,642
Net impact on retained earnings	$	(168,649	)

Adoption of ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company's historic accounting under ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition ("ASC 605").

Revenue Recognition

Under current and prior revenue guidance, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The following table presents revenues disaggregated by revenue source (dollars in thousands):

Advertising Revenues

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are from advertising, primarily generated through the sale of broadcast radio advertising time, sale of advertising and promotional opportunities across digital audio networks to local, regional, and national advertisers and remote/event revenue. The Company considers each advertising element a separate contract, and thus a separate performance obligation, as a result of both the customer’s and the Cumulus Radio Station Group or Westwood One’s respective ability to stop transferring promised goods or services during the contract term without notice or penalty. Thus, revenue associated with these contracts is recognized at the time advertising or other services, for example hosting an event, is delivered.

In assessing performance obligations at the Radio Station Group, each advertisement, banner, etc. is considered to be a separate contract and thus a separate performance obligation. In assessing performance obligations at Westwood One, each element of a campaign is considered to be a separate contract and thus a separate performance obligation.

    The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of customer and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. There are no further obligations for returns, refunds or similar obligations related to the contracts. The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable.

Non-Advertising Revenues

Non-advertising revenue does not constitute a material portion of the Company’s revenue and primarily consists of licensing content and tower rental agreements, and to a lesser degree, sublease income, and satellite rental income. Rental agreements typically range from one to five years with renewal clauses. Such agreements typically contain a stated recurring monthly amount due, which is recognized upon delivery of services or passage of time. These agreements contain a single performance obligation.

Trade and Barter Transactions

The Company provides advertising time in exchange for goods or services such as products, supplies, or services. Trade revenue totaled $3.3 million, $7.7 million and $19.0 million for the period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018, April 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018 and for the period from January 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018. Trade revenue of approximately $8.9 million and $20.3 million was recognized for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

Programming barter revenue is derived from an exchange of programming content, to be broadcast on the Company’s airwaves, for commercial inventory, usually in the form of commercial placements inside of the show exchanged. The revenue is recognized as the commercial spots are aired, in the same pattern as the Company’s normal cash spot revenue is recognized. Trade and barter value is based upon management’s estimate of the fair value of the products, supplies or services received.

Variable Consideration

Certain customers may receive cash-based incentives or credits, which are accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduces revenue recognized accordingly. The Company has not had, nor does it believe that there will be, significant changes to its estimates of variable consideration. In addition, variable consideration has not historically been material to the Company’s financial statements.

Customer Options that Provide a Material Right

ASC 606 requires the allocation of a portion of a transaction price of a contract to additional goods or services transferred to a customer that are considered to be a separate performance obligation and provide a material right to the customer.

To satisfy the requirement of accounting for the material right, the Company considers both the transaction price associated with each spot as well as the timing of revenue recognition for the spots. Campaigns often include bonus spots, which are radio advertising spots, free of charge, explicitly within the contract terms or implicitly agreed upon with the customer consistent with industry standard practices. The Company typically runs these bonus spots related to a particular campaign concurrently with the paid spots from the same campaign. As the delivery and revenue recognition for both paid and bonus spots generally occur within the same period, the time of delivery and recognition of revenue is insignificant.

Principal versus Agent Considerations

In those instances in which the Company functions as the principal in the transaction, the revenue and associated operating costs are presented on a gross basis. In those instances where the Company functions solely as an agent or sales representative, the Company’s effective commission is presented as revenue on a net basis with no corresponding operating expenses.

The Company evaluated all revenue streams and contracts to which principal versus agent considerations applied. Using guidance from ASC 606, the Company determined that broadcast advertising revenue at both the Cumulus Radio Station Group and Westwood One should be recorded net of agency commissions and should be recognized when the programs and commercial announcements are broadcast.

Additionally, Westwood One maintains revenue sharing agreements and inventory representation agreements with various radio companies. For all revenue sharing and inventory representation agreements, the Company performs an analysis in accordance with ASC 606 to determine if the amounts should be recorded on a gross or net basis. Consistent with the prior revenue recognition guidance, Westwood One continues to record all revenue sharing agreements on a gross basis with the shared revenue amount recorded within Content costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and inventory representation agreements on a net basis.

Practical Expedients

The Company applied the completed contract practical expedient guidance under ASC 606 to contracts that were not considered completed as of January 1, 2018.

The Company capitalizes certain incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers which it expects to recover.

For contracts with a client whose customer life covers a year or less, companies may use a practical expedient that allows the option to expense commissions as they are incurred. For contracts where the new and renewal commission rates are commensurate, the amortization period assessed by management was the contract life. As such, the Company will continue to expense commissions as incurred for the revenue streams where the new and renewal commission rates are commensurate and the contract life is less than one year. These costs are recorded within Sales, General and Administrative expense. The Company does not apply the practical expedient option to new local direct contracts, as the commission rates for new and renewal contracts is not commensurate and the customer life is typically in excess of one year. As of June 30, 2018, the Company recorded an asset of approximately $3.5 million related to the unamortized portion of commission expense on new local direct revenue. Under ASC 605, commission expense on new local direct revenue would have been expensed as incurred.

Under certain practical expedients elected, the Company did not disclose the amount of consideration allocated to the remaining performance obligations or an explanation of when the Company expects to recognize that amount as revenue for reporting periods presented before January 1, 2018.

Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under the amended accounting guidance, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting guidance.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient which allows it to not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. The Company has contracts with customers which the Company believes will produce revenue beyond one year. From these contracts, the Company estimates it will recognize approximately $6.2 million of revenue in 2019.

Prior to the application of fresh start accounting, goodwill represented the excess of the amount paid to acquire businesses over the fair value of their net assets at the date of the acquisition. The Company eliminated goodwill upon application of fresh start accounting (see Note 3, “Fresh Start Accounting”).

Intangible Assets

In connection with the Company’s adoption of fresh start accounting on the Effective Date, intangible assets and related accumulated amortization of the Predecessor Company were eliminated. Intangible assets of the Successor Company were identified and valued at their fair value, as determined by valuation specialists. The Company’s intangible assets are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Intangible Assets:	FCC Licenses			Definite-Lived			Total

As part of fresh start accounting, the Company removed existing intangibles and accumulated amortization and recorded an adjustment of $147.9 million to reflect the fair value of intangibles. (See Note 3, “Fresh Start Accounting").

The Company performs impairment testing of its Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) licenses and goodwill annually as of December 31 of each year and on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that FCC licenses or goodwill may be impaired. The Company reviews the carrying value of its definite-lived intangible assets, primarily broadcast advertising and affiliate relationships for recoverability prior to its annual impairment test of goodwill and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Events and circumstances did not necessitate any interim impairment tests during the period ended June 30, 2018, nor did the Company have goodwill as of the period ended June 30, 2018.

In connection with the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions, all amounts outstanding under the Predecessor Term Loan and the 7.75% Senior Notes had been reclassified to Liabilities subject to compromise in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017.

Credit Agreement

On the Effective Date, Cumulus Media New Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”) and an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries, entered into the Credit Agreement with the holders of claims with respect to the Predecessor Term Loan under the Canceled Credit Agreement, as term loan lenders. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders party thereto were deemed to have provided Holdings and its subsidiaries that are party thereto as co-borrowers with a $1.3 billion senior secured Term Loan.

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Alternative Base Rate (as defined below) plus an applicable margin of 3.50%, subject to an Alternative Base Rate floor of 2.00%, or (ii) the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 4.50%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. The Alternative Base Rate is defined, for any day, as the per annum rate equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the rate identified as the “Prime Rate” and normally published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. At June 30, 2018, the Term Loan bore interest at 6.6% per annum.

Amounts outstanding under the Term Loan amortize in equal quarterly installments of 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan with the balance payable on the maturity date. The maturity date of the Term Loan is May 15, 2022.

The Credit Agreement contains representations, covenants and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this nature. Events of default in the Credit Agreement include, among others: (a) the failure to pay when due the obligations owing thereunder; (b) the failure to perform (and not timely remedy, if applicable) certain covenants; (c) certain defaults and accelerations under other indebtedness; (d) the occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency events; (e) certain judgments against Holdings or any of its subsidiaries; (f) the loss, revocation or suspension of, or any material impairment in the ability to use, any one or more of, any material FCC licenses; (g) any representation or warranty made, or report, certificate or financial statement delivered, to the lenders subsequently proven to have been incorrect in any material respect; and (h) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Agent may, with the consent of, or upon the request of, the required lenders, accelerate the Term Loan and exercise any of its rights as a secured party under the Credit Agreement and the ancillary loan documents provided, that in the case of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events with respect to a borrower, the Term Loan will automatically accelerate.

The Credit Agreement does not contain any financial maintenance covenants. The Credit Agreement provides that Holdings will be permitted to enter into either a revolving credit facility or receivables facility providing commitments of up to $50.0 million, subject to certain conditions. For additional information see Note 16, “Subsequent Event."

The borrowers may elect, at their option, to prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement without premium or penalty (except that any prepayment during the period of six months following the closing of the Credit Agreement would require a premium equal to 1.00% of the prepaid principal amount). The borrowers may be required to make mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan upon the occurrence of specified events as set forth in the Credit Agreement, including upon the sale of certain assets and from Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Cumulus Media Intermediate Inc. (“Intermediate Holdings”), which is a subsidiary of the Company, and the present and future wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdings that are not borrowers thereunder, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Credit Agreement (the “Guarantors”) and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of Holdings, the subsidiaries of Holdings party to the Credit Agreement as borrowers, and the Guarantors.

For additional information on our liquidity considerations, see "Emergence from Chapter 11; Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations" in Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Canceled Credit Agreement

The Canceled Credit Agreement consisted of a term loan with a stated maturity date in December 2020. At December 31, 2017, there was $1.7 billion outstanding under the Predecessor Term Loan.

Amounts outstanding under the Predecessor Term Loan amortized at a rate of 1.0% per annum of the original principal amount of the Predecessor Term Loan, payable quarterly, with the balance payable on the maturity date. Borrowings under the Predecessor Term Loan bore interest based on the Base Rate (as defined below) or LIBOR, plus 3.25% on LIBOR-based borrowings and 2.25% on Base Rate-based borrowings. LIBOR-based borrowings are subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.0%. Base Rate-based borrowings were subject to a Base Rate floor of 2.0%. Base Rate was defined, for any day, as the rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime commercial lending rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as established from time to time, and (iii) 30 day LIBOR plus 1.0%.

As a result of the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions, Old Cumulus was required to make adequate protection payments on the Predecessor Term Loan. The amounts of these payments were calculated under the same terms as the interest and at the rates described above. During the pendency of Bankruptcy Petitions, ASC 852 required Old Cumulus to recognize the adequate protection payments as reductions in the principal balance of the Predecessor Term Loan. As a result, Old Cumulus applied adequate protection payments of approximately $37.8 million to the principal balance of the Predecessor Term Loan for the period from January 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018, which in turn, caused interest expense to be lower by approximately $37.1 million than it would have been absent the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions.

On the Effective Date, the Predecessor Term Loan was canceled and all liabilities thereunder were discharged.

7.75% Senior Notes

On May 13, 2011, Old Cumulus issued the 7.75% Senior Notes. On September 16, 2011, Old Cumulus and one of its subsidiaries entered into a supplemental indenture with the trustee under the indenture governing the 7.75% Senior Notes which provided for, among other things, the (i) assumption by such subsidiary of all obligations of Old Cumulus related to the 7.75% Senior Notes; (ii) substitution of that subsidiary for Old Cumulus as issuer; (iii) release of Old Cumulus from all obligations as original issuer; and (iv) guarantee by Old Cumulus of all of the subsidiary issuer's obligations, in each case under the indenture and the 7.75% Senior Notes.

Interest on the 7.75% Senior Notes was payable on each May 1 and November 1 of each year. The 7.75% Senior Notes were scheduled to mature on May 1, 2019. While under bankruptcy protection, Old Cumulus did not make interest payments or recognize interest expense on the 7.75% Senior Notes. As a result, Old Cumulus's interest expense for the period from January 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018, was approximately $22.1 million lower than it would have been absent the filing of the voluntary petitions for reorganization.

On the Effective Date, the 7.75% Senior Notes were canceled and all liabilities thereunder were discharged.

Difference between tax at effective versus statutory rate	$	1,013		$	(286,868	)	$	2,717		$	(285,911	)	$	1,388

The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the Predecessor Company period from January 1, 2018 to June 3, 2018 and the period from April 1, 2018 to June 3, 2018 relates to the income tax exclusion of cancellation of indebtedness income ("CODI") arising from the effectiveness of the Plan, the Company's elections to increase the tax basis in certain assets, statutory state and local income taxes, the impact of non-deductible expenses and changes to the valuation allowance.

Under the Plan, a substantial portion of the Predecessor Company’s prepetition debt securities and other obligations were extinguished and the Company recognized CODI. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), provides that a debtor in a bankruptcy case may exclude CODI from taxable income but must reduce certain of its tax attributes by the amount of any CODI realized by the debtor company as a result of the consummation of a plan of reorganization. Substantially all of the Company’s tax attributes are expected to be reduced when the statutory reduction occurs on the first day of the Company’s tax year subsequent to the date of emergence which is expected to be January 1, 2019.

IRC Sections 382 and 383 provide an annual limitation with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its tax attributes, as well as certain built-in losses, against future U.S. taxable income in the event of a change in ownership. The Debtors’ emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings is considered a change in ownership for purposes of IRC Section 382, with the limitation based on the value of the corporation as of the emergence date. The ownership changes and resulting annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses or other tax attributes otherwise available, with a corresponding decrease in the Company’s valuation allowance.

In conjunction with the Plan, the Company implemented a series of internal reorganization transactions through which it transferred the assets of Old Cumulus to an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the reorganized Cumulus Media Inc. (see Note 1, “Nature of Business, Interim Financial Data and Basis of Presentation”). The transfer of assets for income tax purposes results in a taxable sale of assets and stock, whereby the Company receives a step up in the tax basis of a significant portion of the underlying assets transferred, resulting in a future tax benefit.

The application of fresh start accounting on June 4, 2018 resulted in the re-measurement of deferred income taxes associated with the revaluation of the Company’s assets and liabilities (see Note 3, “Fresh Start Accounting”). As a result, net deferred income tax liabilities decreased $10.6 million. The Company continues to consider whether its deferred income tax assets are more likely than not to be realized based on its ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future years. At this time, the Company has determined that any tax attribute carryovers in existence prior to the date of reorganization or generated as a result of the reorganization are not more likely than not to be realized, as a result of attribute reductions, statutory limitations on utilization, and lack of future income at Old Cumulus.

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory rate of 21% for the Successor Company period June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018 is attributable to statutory state and local income taxes, the tax effect of certain statutory non-deductible expenses, changes in valuation allowance, and the tax effect of certain changes in uncertain tax positions.

The difference between the 56.1% effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 35.0% for the Predecessor Company for the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily relates to statutory state and local income taxes and the tax effect of certain statutory non-deductible items.

The primary driver of the income tax expense for the Predecessor Company six months ended June 30, 2017 was the tax effect of certain stock option terminations and forfeitures resulting from the adoption of the 2017 incentive plan.

The Company continually reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowance and recognizes the benefits of deferred tax assets only as a reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). As of June 30, 2018, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on loss carryforwards for which the Company does not believe it will be able to meet the more likely than not recognition standard for recovery. The valuation of deferred tax assets requires judgment about future profitability as well as the assessment of the likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns.

Stockholders' Equity

Successor Common Stock

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”), the Company is authorized to issue an aggregate of 300,000,000 shares of stock divided into three classes consisting of: (i) 100,000,000 shares of new Class A common stock; (ii) 100,000,000 shares of new Class B common stock; and (iii) 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Each share of new Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Except as provided below and as otherwise required by the Charter, the Company’s bylaws or by applicable law, the holders of new Class A common stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders generally (or if any holders of shares of preferred stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of common stock, as a single class with such holders of shares of preferred stock).

Holders of new Class B common stock are generally not entitled to vote such shares on matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of new Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share of new Class B common stock, voting as a separate class, on any proposed amendment or modification of any specific rights or obligations that affect holders of new Class B common stock and that do not similarly affect the rights or obligations of the holders of new Class A common stock. In addition, holders of new Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share of new Class B common stock, voting together with the holders of new Class A common stock, on each of the following matters, if and only if any such matter is submitted to a vote of the stockholders (provided that the Company may take action on any of the following without a vote of the stockholders to the extent permitted by law):

a) the retention or dismissal of outside auditors by the Company;

b) any dividends or distributions to the stockholders of the Company;

c) any material sale of assets, recapitalization, merger, business combination, consolidation, exchange of stock or other similar reorganization involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

d) the adoption of any new or amended charter;

e) other than in connection with any management equity or similar plan adopted by the Board, any authorization or issuance of equity interests, or any security or instrument convertible into or exchangeable for equity interests, in the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and

f) the liquidation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

The Charter and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting. The holders of a plurality of the shares of new common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting at which a quorum is present called for the purpose of electing directors will be entitled to elect the directors of the Company. The holders of a majority of the shares of new common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, and present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders.

Subject to the preferences applicable to any preferred stock outstanding at any time, if any, the holders of shares of new common stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in cash, property or shares of stock as may be declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of the assets or funds legally available; except that in the case of dividends or other distributions payable on the new Class A common stock or new Class B common stock in shares of such stock, including distributions pursuant to stock splits or dividends, only new Class A common stock will be distributed with respect to new Class A common stock and only new Class B common stock will be distributed with respect to new Class B common stock. In no event will any of the new Class A common stock or new Class B common stock be split, divided or combined unless each other class is proportionately split, divided or combined.

As of the date hereof, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding. The Charter provides that the Board may, by resolution, establish one or more classes or series of preferred stock having the number of shares and relative voting rights, designations and other rights, preferences, and limitations as may be fixed by them without further stockholder approval. The holders of any such preferred stock may be entitled to preferences over holders of common stock with respect to dividends, or upon a liquidation, dissolution, or the Company’s winding up, in such amounts as are established by the resolutions of the Board approving the issuance of such shares.

The new Class B common stock is convertible at any time, or from time to time, at the option of the holders (provided that the prior consent of any governmental authority required to make such conversion lawful shall have been obtained and a determination by the Company has been made that the applicable holder does not have an attributable interest in another entity that would cause the Company to violate applicable law) into new Class A common stock on a share-for-share basis.

No holder of new common stock has any preemptive right to subscribe for any shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable in the future.

If the Company is liquidated (either partially or completely), dissolved or wound up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of new common stock shall be entitled to share ratably in the Company’s net assets remaining after payment of all liquidation preferences, if any, applicable to any outstanding preferred stock.

In connection with the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 and in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) provided by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Company issued a total of 11,052,211 shares of new Class A common stock, 5,218,209 shares of new Class B common stock, 3,016,853 Series 1 warrants and issued or will issue 712,736 Series 2 warrants to holders of certain claims against the Predecessor Company. The holders of claims with respect to the Predecessor Term Loan received 83.5% of the new common stock and warrants issued. The holders of unsecured claims, including claims arising from the 7.75% Senior Notes, received, in the aggregate, 16.5% of the new common stock and warrants issued. During the period from June 4, 2018 to June 30, 2018, certain holders of new Class B common stock elected to exchange 1,344,184 shares of new Class B common stock for an equal number of shares of new Class A common stock.

As of June 30, 2018, the Successor Company had 16,305,384 aggregate issued and outstanding shares of new common stock consisting of:

(i) 12,396,395 shares designated as Class A common stock;

(ii) 3,908,989 shares designated as Class B common stock

Successor Stock Purchase Warrants

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) with Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company, as warrant agent. In accordance with the Plan and pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Company (i) issued 3,016,853 Series 1 warrants to purchase shares of new Class A common stock or new Class B common stock, on a one-for-one basis with an exercise price of $0.0000001 per share, to certain claimants with claims against the Predecessor Company and (ii) issued or will issue 712,736 Series 2 warrants to purchase shares of new Class A common stock or new Class B common stock on a one-for-one basis with an exercise price of $0.0000001 per share, to other claimants. The Warrants expire on June 4, 2038.

The number of shares of new common stock for which a Warrant is exercisable is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of specified events, including: (1) the subdivision or combination of the new common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares (2) upon a reclassification or recapitalization of the Company in which holders of new common stock are entitled to receive cash, stock or securities in exchange for new common stock and (3) a Change of Control (as defined in the Warrant Agreement).

The Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Communications Act”) restricts the Company from having more than 25% of its capital stock owned or voted by non-U.S. persons, foreign governments or non-U.S. corporations. The Company applied for a declaratory ruling from the FCC to increase the level of foreign ownership of the Company greater than that permitted under the Communications Act. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, upon receipt of the declaratory ruling from the FCC, the Company is required to exchange new common stock for outstanding Warrants to the extent permitted by the declaratory ruling, subject to proration among the holders of Warrants as set forth therein. If the declaratory ruling will not allow the Company to exchange for new common stock for all of the outstanding Warrants, then, in addition to proration among holders, all remaining Series 2 warrants will be mandatorily exchanged for Series 1 warrants.

Predecessor Common Stock

The Predecessor Company was authorized to issue an aggregate of 268,830,609 shares of stock divided into four classes consisting of:

(i) 93,750,000 shares designated as Class A common stock;

(ii) 75,000,000 shares designated as Class B common stock;

(iii) 80,609 shares designated as Class C common stock, and

(iv) 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

In accordance with the Plan, each share of old common stock outstanding prior to the Effective Date, including all options, warrants or other rights, including rights issued under the Rights Agreement, to purchase such old common stock, were extinguished, canceled and discharged, and each such share, option or warrant has no further force or effect. Furthermore, all of Old Cumulus’s equity award agreements under prior incentive plans, and the awards granted pursuant thereto, were extinguished, canceled and discharged and have no further force or effect.

Predecessor Warrants

2009 Warrants

In June 2009, in connection with the execution of an amendment to Old Cumulus's then-existing credit agreement, the Predecessor Company issued warrants to the lenders thereunder that allowed them to acquire up to 156,250 shares of old Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.17 per share (the “2009 Warrants”). None of the 2009 warrants were converted during the period from December 31, 2017 to June 3, 2018, and as of such date there were 40,057 of the 2009 Warrants outstanding. The Predecessor 2009 Warrants were canceled in their entirety as of the Effective Date.

Citadel Warrants

As a component of Old Cumulus’s September 16, 2011 acquisition of Citadel Broadcasting Corporation (the “Citadel Merger”) and the related financing transactions, the Predecessor Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9.0 million shares of old Class A common stock (the “Citadel Warrants”) under a warrant agreement dated September 16, 2011. The Citadel Warrants were exercisable at any time prior to June 3, 2030 at an exercise price of $0.01 per share with each Citadel warrant providing the right to purchase one share. As of June 3, 2018, 31,955 Citadel Warrants remained outstanding. The Citadel Warrants were canceled in their entirety as of the Effective Date.

Crestview Warrants

Also on September 16, 2011, but pursuant to a separate warrant agreement, Old Cumulus issued warrants to purchase 1.0 million shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price, as adjusted, of $34.56 per share (the “Crestview Warrants”). As of June 3, 2018, all 1.0 million Crestview Warrants remained outstanding. The Crestview Warrants were canceled in their entirety as of the Effective Date.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Successor Share-Based Compensation

Upon adopting ASC 718 for awards with service conditions, the Successor Company made an election to recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. In addition, the Successor Company made an accounting policy election to recognize forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur in the period of forfeiture rather than estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited at the grant date and subsequently adjusting the estimate when awards are actually forfeited. For stock options with service conditions only, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options issued. The fair value of stock options is determined by the Company’s stock price, historical stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. If other assumptions are used, the resulting fair value could differ. For restricted stock awards the Company utilized the intrinsic value method.

In accordance with the Plan and the approval of the Board, the Incentive Plan became effective as of the Effective Date. The Incentive Plan is intended to, among other things, help attract, motivate and retain key employees and directors and to reward them for making major contributions to the success of the Company. The Incentive Plan permits awards to be made to consultants or to employees, directors, or consultants of an affiliate of the Company.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Board’s compensation committee will administer the Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan generally provides for the following types of awards: 

• stock options (including incentive options and nonstatutory options);

• restricted stock;

• stock appreciation rights;

• dividend equivalents;

• other stock-based awards;

• performance awards; and

• cash awards.

The aggregate number of shares of new Class A common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan is 2,222,223 on a fully diluted basis. Awards can be made under the Incentive Plan for a period of ten years from June 4, 2018, subject to the right of the stockholders and the Board to terminate the Incentive Plan at any time.

On or about the Effective Date and pursuant to the Plan, the Company granted 562,217 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 562,217 stock options (“Options”) under the Incentive Plan and the terms of the relevant restricted stock unit agreements (the “Restricted Stock Unit Agreements”) and stock option agreements (the “Option Agreements”), as applicable, to certain employees, including its executive officers (collectively, “Management”), representing an aggregate of 1,124,434 shares of new Class A common stock (collectively, the “Management Emergence Awards”).

Fifty percent (50%) of the RSUs granted to Management vest ratably on each of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, subject to certain performance-based criteria. Of the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the RSUs and one hundred percent (100%) of the Options granted to Management, 30% will vest on each of the first two anniversaries of the Effective Date, and 20% will vest on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the Effective Date. The vesting of each of the Management Emergence Awards is also subject to, among other things, each such employee’s continued employment with the Company.

If an employee’s employment is terminated by the Company or its subsidiaries without Cause, by the employee for Good Reason (each, as defined in the award agreement) or by reason of death or Disability (as defined in the award agreement), such employee will become vested in an additional tranche of the unvested Management Emergence Awards as if the employee’s employment continued for one (1) additional year following the qualifying termination date; provided, that with respect to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, (i) an amount equal to 50% of the unvested components of the Management Emergence Awards will accelerate and vest (75% if such termination occurs on or before the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date) and (ii) vested Options will remain outstanding until the expiration date of such Option. If an employee’s employment is terminated by the Company or its subsidiaries without Cause or by the employee for Good Reason, in either instance at any time within the three month period immediately preceding, or the twelve month period immediately following, a Change in Control (as defined in the award agreement), such employee will become vested in all unvested Management Emergence Awards.

In addition, on or about the Effective Date and pursuant to the Plan, the Company granted each non-employee director certain RSUs and Options under the Incentive Plan and the terms of the relevant Restricted Stock Unit Agreements and Option Agreements, as applicable, representing an aggregate of 56,721 shares of new Class A common stock (the “Director Emergence Awards”). The RSUs and Options granted to each non-employee director vest in four equal installments on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing on June 30, 2018. The vesting of each of the Director Emergence Awards is also subject to, among other things, each such non-employee director’s continued role as a director with the Company. Upon a Change in Control, all unvested Director Emergence Awards will fully vest.

The total grants awarded during the period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018 are presented in the table below:

Predecessor Share-Based Compensation

Upon adopting ASC 718 for awards with service conditions, the Predecessor Company made an election to recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. In addition, the Predecessor Company made an accounting policy election to recognize forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur in the period of forfeiture rather than estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited at the grant date and subsequently adjusting the estimate when awards are actually forfeited.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

As discussed in Note 2, "Emergence from Chapter 11", on the Effective Date, the old common stock awards and warrants then outstanding under the Company’s prior equity compensation plans were extinguished without recovery.

The Company calculates basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding restricted shares. The Company calculates diluted earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding share-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock awards. Warrants are included in basic and diluted shares outstanding because there is little or no consideration paid upon exercise of the Warrants. Antidilutive instruments are not considered in this calculation. The Company applies the two-class method to calculate earnings per share. Because both classes share the same rights in dividends and earnings, earnings per share (basic and diluted) are the same for both classes.

The following table presents the reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average common shares as well as the effect of anti-dilutive securities excluded from diluted weighted average common shares (in thousands):

Commitments and Contingencies

Future Commitments

The radio broadcast industry’s principal ratings service is Nielsen Audio (“Nielsen”), which publishes surveys for domestic radio markets. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have agreements with Nielsen under which they receive programming ratings information. The remaining aggregate obligation under the agreements with Nielsen is approximately $175.7 million, as of June 30, 2018, and is expected to be paid in accordance with the agreements through December 2021.

The Company engages Katz Media Group, Inc. (“Katz”) as its national advertising sales agent. The national advertising agency contract with Katz contains termination provisions that, if exercised by the Company during the term of the contract, would obligate the Company to pay a termination fee to Katz, based upon a formula set forth in the contract.

The Company is committed under various contractual agreements to pay for broadcast rights that include sports and news services and to pay for talent, executives, research, weather information and other services.

The Company from time to time enters into radio network contractual obligations to guarantee a minimum amount of revenue share to contractual counterparties on certain programming in future years. As of June 30, 2018, the Company believes that it will meet all such material minimum obligations.

On February 1, 2018 and March 9, 2018, respectively, the Company and Merlin Media, LLC (“Merlin”) amended their Local Marketing Agreement (“LMA Agreement”) under which the Company programmed two FM radio stations owned by Merlin. The Company ceased programming one of the stations (“WLUP”) on March 9, 2018, but continued to program the other FM station (“WKQX”) under the amended LMA Agreement. On April 3, 2018, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Merlin, pursuant to which it agreed to purchase WKQX and certain intellectual property for $18.0 million in cash. On April 10, 2018, the Court approved the purchase and the Company made a payment in escrow of $4.75 million. On June 15, 2018, the Company closed on the purchase of WKQX. The table below summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation among the tangible and intangible assets acquired in the WKQX purchase (dollars in thousands):

Allocation	Amount
Broadcast licenses	$	17,476
Property and equipment	524
Total purchase price	$	18,000

The above estimated fair values of assets acquired are preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair value of assets acquired. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize the determination of fair value. Thus, the preliminary measurements of fair value reflected are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than December 31, 2018.

Legal Proceedings

In August 2015, the Company was named as a defendant in two separate putative class action lawsuits relating to its use and public performance of certain sound recordings fixed prior to February 15, 1972 (the "Pre-1972 Recordings"). The first suit, ABS Entertainment, Inc., et. al. v, Cumulus Media Inc., was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and alleged, among other things, copyright infringement under California state law, common law conversion, misappropriation and unfair business practices. On December 11, 2015, this suit was dismissed without prejudice. The second suit, ABS Entertainment, Inc., v. Cumulus Media Inc., was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and claimed, among other things, common law copyright infringement and unfair competition. The New York lawsuit was stayed pending an appeal before the Second Circuit involving unrelated third parties over whether the owner of a Pre-1972 Recording holds an exclusive right to publicly perform that recording under New York common law. On December 20, 2016, the New York Court of Appeals held that New York common law does not recognize a right of public performance for owners of pre-1972 Recordings. As a result of that case (to which Cumulus Media Inc. was not a party) the New York case against Cumulus Media Inc., was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs on April 3, 2017. The question of whether public performance rights exist for Pre-1972 recordings under state law is still being litigated in the Ninth Circuit as a result of a case filed in California. Cumulus is not a party to that case, and the Company is not yet able to determine what effect that proceeding will have, if any, on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

The Company currently is, and expects that from time to time in the future it will be, party to, or a defendant in, various other claims or lawsuits that are generally incidental to its business. The Company expects that it will vigorously contest any such claims or lawsuits and believes that the ultimate resolution of any such known claim or lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Data

Segment Data

The Company operates in two reportable segments for which there is discrete financial information available and whose operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, the Cumulus Radio Station Group and Westwood One. Cumulus Radio Station Group revenue is derived primarily from the sale of broadcasting time to local, regional, and national advertisers. Westwood One revenue is generated primarily through network advertising. The Company also reports information for Corporate and Other. Corporate includes overall executive, administrative and support functions for both of the Company’s reportable segments, including accounting, finance, legal, human resources, information technology functions, and programming.

The Company presents segment adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as this is the financial metric by which management and the chief operating decision maker allocate resources of the Company and analyze the performance of the Company’s reportable segments. Management also uses this measure to determine the contribution of the Company's core operations to the funding of its corporate resources utilized to manage operations and non-operating expenses including debt service and acquisitions. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric for purposes of calculating and determining compliance with certain covenants contained in the Company’s Credit Agreement.

In determining Adjusted EBITDA, the Company excludes from net income items not related to core operations and those that are non-cash including: interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, gain or loss on the exchange, sale, or disposal of any assets or stations, early extinguishment of debt, local marketing agreement fees (as such fees are excluded from the definition of such term for purposes of calculating covenant compliance under the credit agreement), expenses relating to acquisitions, restructuring costs, reorganization items and non-cash impairments of assets, if any.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, although not a measure that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, is commonly employed by the investment community as a measure for determining the market value of a media company and comparing the operational and financial performance among media companies. Management has also observed that Adjusted EBITDA is routinely utilized to evaluate and negotiate the potential purchase price for media companies. Given the relevance to our overall value, management believes that investors consider the metric to be extremely useful.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company’s operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may be defined or calculated differently by other companies, and comparability may be limited.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]

Subsequent Event

Subsequent Event

On August 17, 2018, Holdings entered into a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to a Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), dated as of August 17, 2018, with certain subsidiaries of Holdings, as borrowers, certain lenders, Intermediate Holdings, as a guarantor, and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as a lender and Administrative Agent.

The Revolving Credit Facility matures on August 17, 2023. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is tied to a borrowing base formula that is based on 85% of the accounts receivable of the borrowers and the guarantors, subject to customary reserves and eligibility criteria. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, up to $10.0 million of availability may be drawn in the form of letters of credit.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the option of Holdings, based on LIBOR plus a percentage spread (ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%) based on the average daily excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility or the Alternative Base Rate (as defined below) plus a percentage spread (ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%) based on the average daily excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Alternative Base Rate is defined, for any day, as the per annum rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the rate identified as the “Prime Rate” and normally published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. In addition, the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% based on the utilization of the facility. As of August 20, 2018, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains representations, covenants and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this nature. Events of default in the Revolving Credit Agreement include, among others: (a) the failure to pay when due the obligations owing thereunder; (b) the failure to perform (and not timely remedy, if applicable) certain covenants; (c) certain defaults and accelerations under other indebtedness; (d) the occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency events; (e) certain judgments against Holdings or any of its subsidiaries; (f) the loss, revocation or suspension of, or any material impairment in the ability to use, any one or more of, any material Federal Communications Commission licenses; (g) any representation or warranty made, or report, certificate or financial statement delivered, to the lenders subsequently proven to have been incorrect in any material respect; and (h) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans and exercise any of their rights under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the ancillary loan documents as a secured party.

The Revolving Credit Agreement does not contain any financial maintenance covenants with which the Company must comply. However, if average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is less than the greater of (a) 12.50% of the total commitments thereunder or (b) $5.0 million, the Company must comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0.

Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Intermediate Holdings and the present and future wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdings that are not borrowers thereunder, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolver Guarantors”) and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of Holdings, the subsidiaries of Holdings party to the Credit Agreement as borrowers, and the Revolver Guarantors.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Description of Business

Cumulus Media Inc. (and its consolidated subsidiaries, except as the context may otherwise require, “CUMULUS MEDIA,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation, organized in 2018, and successor to a Delaware corporation with the same name that had been organized in 2002.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

As previously disclosed, on November 29, 2017 (the “Petition Date”), CM Wind Down Topco Inc. (formerly known as Cumulus Media Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Old Cumulus”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Bankruptcy Petitions”) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (the "Chapter 11 Cases") were jointly administered under the caption In re Cumulus Media Inc., et al, Case No. 17-13381. On May 10, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order Confirming the Debtors’ First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization [Docket No. 769] (the “Confirmation Order”), which confirmed the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Cumulus Media Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code [Docket No. 446] (the “Plan”), as modified by the Confirmation Order. On June 4, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), Old Cumulus satisfied the conditions to effectiveness set forth in the Confirmation Order and in the Plan, the Plan was substantially consummated, and Old Cumulus and the other Debtors emerged from Chapter 11. On June 29, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order closing the Chapter 11 Cases of all of the Debtors other than Old Cumulus, whose case will remain open for purposes of fully administering its estate, including reconciling claims subject to compromise under the Plan. Although Old Cumulus emerged from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date, the Old Cumulus Chapter 11 Case will remain open until its estate has been fully administered and the Bankruptcy Court enters an order closing its case.

In connection with its emergence, Old Cumulus implemented a series of internal reorganization transactions authorized by the Plan pursuant to which it transferred substantially all of its remaining assets to an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of reorganized Cumulus Media Inc. (formerly known as CM Emergence Newco Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“CUMULUS MEDIA” or the “Company”), prior to winding down its business. References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relate to the balance sheet and results of operations of CUMULUS MEDIA on and subsequent to June 4, 2018. References to “Predecessor”, “Predecessor Company” or “Old Cumulus” refer to the balance sheet and results of operations of Old Cumulus prior to June 4, 2018.

Upon emergence from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date, the Company has applied Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852 - Reorganizations (“ASC 852”) in preparing its consolidated financial statements (see Note 2, “Emergence from Chapter 11” and Note 3 “Fresh Start Accounting”). As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan, a new entity for financial reporting purposes was created, and as such the consolidated financial statements on and after June 4, 2018 are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements prior to that date. Refer to Note 3, “Fresh Start Accounting” for additional information.

Subsequent to the Petition Date and before the Effective Date, all expenses, gains and losses directly associated with the reorganization proceedings are reported as Reorganization items, net, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, liabilities subject to compromise during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases are distinguished from liabilities of the Company that are not expected to be compromised, including post-petition liabilities, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Interim Financial Data

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, other than bankruptcy related adjustments as described in Note 3, "Fresh Start Accounting", consist of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations for, and financial condition as of the end of, the interim periods have been made. The results of operations and cash flows of the Successor for the period from June 4, 2018 through June 30, 2018 and of the Predecessor for the period from April 1, 2018 through June 3, 2018 and the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows that can be expected for, or the Company’s financial condition that can be expected as of the end of, any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with CUMULUS MEDIA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Recent Accounting Standards Updates and Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Recent Accounting Standards Updates

Recent Accounting Standards Updates

ASU 2016-02 - Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, which provides updated guidance for the accounting for leases. This update requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases with a term longer than one year. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, thereby impacting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and plans to adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2019.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

ASU 2014-09 and related updates - Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09") or ("ASC 606"). On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services and satisfaction of performance obligations to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applied the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards. There was not a material impact to revenues as a result of the recognition of revenue in accordance with ASC 606 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and there have not been significant changes to the Company's business processes, systems, or internal controls as a result of implementing the standard. See Note 4, "Revenues" for further details.

ASU 2016-01 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"). In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 which enhances the reporting model for financial instruments including aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. This ASU revises the accounting requirements related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. This ASU also changes certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. These changes require an entity to measure, at fair value, investments in equity securities and other ownership interests in an entity - including investments in partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and limited liability companies that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method - and recognize the changes in fair value within net income. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2018-03") which provides an option for a company to "un-elect" the measurement alternative and elect to account for the investment at fair value through current earnings for certain equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. However, once a company makes this election for a particular investment, it must apply the fair value through current earnings model to all identical investments and/or similar investments from the same issuer. Further, a company cannot elect the measurement alternative for future purchases of identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. The Company un-elected the measurement alternative and will continue to value joint venture investments at fair value through current earnings. As such, there was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2016-15 - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"). In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 which provides guidance for several new and/or revised disclosures pertaining to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows, including contingent consideration payments made after a business acquisition. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 as of January 1, 2018 and there was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2016-18 - Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"). In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 which provides guidance for the accounting for the disclosure of restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 as of January 1, 2018. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018, restricted cash balances were included along with cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the period and beginning of the period, respectively, in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows for all periods presented. Additionally, separate line items showing changes in restricted cash balances have been eliminated from the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

ASU 2017-01 - Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis and there was no material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2017-09 - Scope of Modification Accounting ("ASU 2017-09"). In May 2017, the FASB issued an update to guidance on Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based award must be accounted for as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award, as equity or liability, changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 as of January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis and there was no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.
