(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the funded portion of each Initial Term Loan ( i.e., the amount advanced in cash to the Borrower on the Closing Date) shall be equal to 98.00% of the principal amount of such Initial Term Loan (it being agreed that the Borrower shall be obligated to repay 100.00% of the principal amount of each Initial Term Loan, the Initial Term Loans shall amortize based on 100.00% of the principal amount thereof and interest shall accrue on 100.00% of the principal amount thereof, in each case as provided herein).

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower from its applicable lending office (each such loan, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that (x) any of the foregoing such Revolving Credit Loans (i) shall be made at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (ii) may, at the option of the Borrower be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans; provided that all Revolving Credit Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Revolving Credit Loans of the same Type, (iii) may be repaid (without premium or penalty) and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not, for any Lender at any time, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of any Class of Revolving Loans at such time exceeding such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment in respect of such Class of Revolving Loan at such time and (v) shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result at any time in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at such time exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect or the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures of any Class of Revolving Loans at such time exceeding the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment with respect to such Class and (y) after giving effect to any such Revolving Credit Loans, Availability shall be greater than or equal to $0.

Section 2.2. Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans shall be in a minimum amount of at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Type of Loans and in a multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (except that Revolving Credit Loans to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to any Unpaid Drawing shall be made in the amounts required by Section 3.3 or 3.4, as applicable). More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date; provided that at no time shall there be outstanding more than five Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans that are Term Loans, five Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans and two additional Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans (whether New Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable) for each Incremental Facility.

(a) In the case of the Borrowing of Initial Term Loans to be made on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (i) prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City Time), at least three Business Days’ prior written notice if such Initial Term Loans are to be Eurodollar Loans and (ii) prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the day of such Borrowing prior written notice if such Initial Term Loans are to be ABR Loans. Such notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to be made, (ii) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be the Closing Date) and (iii) whether the Term Loans

shall consist of ABR Loans and/or Eurodollar Loans and, if the Term Loans are to include Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.3 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s pro rata share of the requested Borrowing.

(b) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Revolving Credit Loans (other than Borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (i) prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City Time), at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the day of such Borrowing prior written notice of each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that are ABR Loans. Each such Notice of Borrowing, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall specify (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (y) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (z) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Revolving Credit Lender written notice of each proposed Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing.

(d) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any notice it shall give hereunder by telephone (which such obligation is absolute), the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.

(a) No later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) with respect to Eurodollar Loans and no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) with respect to ABR Loans, in each case on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing with respect to such Loans, each Lender shall make available its pro rata portion, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below; provided that on the Closing Date, such funds may be made available at such earlier time as may be agreed among the Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent for the purpose of consummating the Transactions.

(b) Each Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any Borrowing for its applicable Commitments, and in immediately available funds, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent will (except in the case of Borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings) make available to the Borrower, by depositing to an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent the aggregate of the amounts so made available in Dollars. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available such amount to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent in Dollars. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans.

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.4, including any payment by the Borrower, shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to, fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, on the Term Loan Maturity Date, the then-outstanding Initial Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the then-outstanding Revolving Credit Loans.

(b) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on each Extended Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the then-outstanding amount of Extended Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, in Dollars, for the benefit of the Initial Term Loan Lenders, on each date set forth below (or, if not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day) (each, an “Initial Term Loan Repayment Date”), a principal amount in respect of each of the Initial Term Loans made to the Borrower as is set forth opposite each Initial Term Loan Repayment Date (as such amount may be reduced as otherwise provided herein, including in connection with prepayments and Term Loan buybacks) (each, an “Initial Term Loan Repayment Amount”):

shall, subject to Section 2.14(d), be repaid by the Borrower in the amounts (each, a “New Term Loan Repayment Amount”) and on the dates set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement. In the event that any Incremental Revolving Credit Loans are made, such Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall, subject to Section 2.14(d), be repaid by the Borrower in the amounts (each, a “New Revolving Loan Repayment Amount”) and on the dates set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement. In the event that any Extended Term Loans are established, such Extended Term Loans shall, subject to Section 2.14(h)(i), be repaid by the Borrower in the amounts (each such amount with respect to any Extended Term Loan Repayment Date, an “ Extended Term Loan Repayment Amount”) and on the dates (each, an “Extended Term Loan Repayment Date”) set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment. In the event that any Extended Revolving Credit Loans are established, such Extended Revolving Credit Loans shall, subject to Section 2.14(h)(ii), be repaid by the Borrower in the amounts (each such amount with respect to any Extended Revolving Credit Repayment Date, an “Extended Revolving Credit Loan Repayment Amount”) and on the dates (each, an “ Extended Revolving Credit Repayment Date”) set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment.

(d) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 12.6(b), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, whether such Loan is an Initial Term Loan, New Term Loan, Extended Term Loan or Revolving Loan (and, as applicable, the relevant Class thereof), as applicable, the Type of each Loan made, the name of the Borrower and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(f) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses (d) and (e) of this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(g) The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after the Borrower has made an initial borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit E or Exhibit F, as applicable, evidencing the Initial Term Loans, New Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans, respectively, owing to such Lender. Thereafter, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Lender, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 12.6) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if requested by such payee, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(a) Subject to the penultimate sentence of this clause (a), (x) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of one Type or Revolving Credit Loans of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and (y) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any Eurodollar Loans as Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period; provided that (i) no partial conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing

Amount, (ii) ABR Loans may not be converted into Eurodollar Loans if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Required Lenders have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, (iii) Eurodollar Loans may not be continued as Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Required Lenders have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, and (iv) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least (i) three Business Days prior, in the case of a continuation of or conversion to Eurodollar Loans (other than in the case of a notice delivered on the Closing Date, which shall be deemed to be effective on the Closing Date), or (ii) one Business Day prior in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans, a Conversion/Continuation Notice specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted or continued into and, if such Loans are to be converted into or continued as Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.

(b) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in Section 2.6(a), the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans into a Borrowing of ABR Loans, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

Section 2.7. Pro Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing of Initial Term Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Initial Term Loan Commitments. Each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages with respect to the applicable Class. Each Borrowing of New Term Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders of the relevant Class pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable New Term Loan Commitments for the applicable Class. Each Borrowing of Incremental Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders of the relevant Class thereof pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments for the applicable Class. Each Borrowing of Extended Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders of the relevant Class thereof pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Extended Revolving Credit Commitments for the applicable Class. It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender severally but not jointly shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b) other than as expressly provided herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation, under any Loan Document.

(a) The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans plus the ABR, in each case, in effect from time to time.

(b) The unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans plus the relevant Eurodollar Rate.

(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or any Unpaid Drawing shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), (ii) any interest payable on the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when such interest becomes due or (iii) any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when such amount becomes due, such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) that is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2.00% or (y) in the case of any other overdue amount, including overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) plus 2.00% from and including the date of such non-payment to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d) Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable in the same currency in which the Loan is denominated; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same date on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Except as provided below, interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three- month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (iii) in respect of each Loan, (A) on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid) in respect thereof, (B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and (C) after such maturity, on demand.

(e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 5.5.

(f) The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

Section 2.9. Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(a), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice of the Interest Period applicable to

such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower be a one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6) month period (or if available to all the Lenders making such Eurodollar Loans as determined by such Lenders in good faith based on prevailing market conditions, a twelve (12) month period or period shorter than one (1) month).

(a) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(b) if any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period; and

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

(a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent and (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, the Required Term Loan Lenders (with respect to Term Loans) or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments) shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) on any date for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period that (x) deposits in the principal amounts and currencies of the Loans comprising such Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans are not generally available in the relevant market or (y) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Closing Date affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lenders shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loans (including any increased costs or reductions attributable to Taxes, other than any increase or reduction attributable to (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or (C) Connection Income Taxes) because of any Change in Law; or

(iii) at any time after the Closing Date, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lenders in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;

(such Loans, “Impacted Loans”), then, and in any such event, such Required Term Loan Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Borrower, and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lenders, promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Required Term Loan Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, in their reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lenders for such actual increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lenders, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lenders shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), and (z) in the case of subclause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in subclause (x) or (y), as applicable, of Section 2.10(b) promptly and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in Section 2.10(a)(i)(x), the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (x) of the first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, (2) the Administrative Agent or the affected Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof.

(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice with respect to the affected Eurodollar Loan has been submitted pursuant to Section 2.3 but the affected Eurodollar Loan has not been funded or continued, cancel such requested Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent written notice thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan; provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

or liquidity of any Lender or compliance by any Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity occurring after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the actual rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s or its Affiliate’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent or its Affiliate could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, promptly after written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such actual additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such actual reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Closing Date or to the extent such Lender is not imposing such charges on, or requesting such compensation from, borrowers (similarly situated to the Borrower hereunder) under comparable syndicated credit facilities similar to the credit facilities provided pursuant to this Agreement. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) promptly following receipt of such notice. The agreements in this Section 2.10(c) and with respect to the Borrower’s payment obligations arising from Section 2.10(a)(ii) shall, subject to Section 2.13, survive the termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d) It is understood that this Section 2.10 shall not apply to (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4 or (ii) Excluded Taxes.

Section 2.11. Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 2.15, 5.1 or 5.2, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Article X or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing or a failure to satisfy borrowing conditions, (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a Eurodollar Loan as a result of a withdrawn Conversion/Continuation Notice, (d) any Eurodollar Loan is not continued as a Eurodollar Loan,

as the case may be, as a result of a withdrawn Conversion/Continuation Notice or (e) any prepayment of principal of any Eurodollar Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Loan. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in this Section 2.11 and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The agreements in this Section 2.11 shall, subject to Section 2.13, survive the termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(c), 3.5 or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or other material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4.

Section 2.13. Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4 is given by any Lender more than 120 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 121^st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(a) The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more (v) increases in the amount of Term Loans of any Class (“Additional Term Loans”), (w) additional tranches of term loans secured on a pari passu basis and pari passu in right of payment with the Initial Term Loans (which may be effected as additional term loans under an existing Class of Term Loans) (the commitments thereto, the “New Term Loan Commitments”), (x) increases in Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class (the “Revolving Credit Commitment Increases”), and/or (y) additional tranches of Revolving

Credit Commitments secured on a pari passu basis and pari passu in right of payment with the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments (the “New Revolving Credit Commitments” and, together with the Revolving Credit Commitment Increases, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”; the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, together with the New Term Loan Commitments and commitments in respect of Additional Term Loans, the “New Loan Commitments”) or (z) Alternative Incremental Facility Debt, in an aggregate amount not in excess of the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount and, in the case of any New Loan Commitment, not less than $25,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount as (x) may be approved by the Administrative Agent or (y) shall constitute the difference between the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount and the aggregate amount of all such New Loan Commitments and Alternative Incremental Facility Debt obtained on or prior to such date). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Loan Commitments shall be effective or on which the Loans in respect thereof and/or the Alternative Incremental Facility Debt shall be issued, as the case may be. In connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness under this Section 2.14, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent a certificate certifying that the New Loan Commitments and/or Alternative Incremental Facility Debt do not exceed the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount, which certificate shall be in reasonable detail and shall provide the calculations and basis therefor. The Borrower may approach any Lender or any Person (other than a natural Person) to provide all or a portion of the New Loan Commitments; provided that (x) any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Loan Commitment and/or Alternative Incremental Facility Debt, (y) no Person approached shall become a Lender without the written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if required pursuant to Section 12.6(b) and (z) the Borrower shall not be obligated to offer any existing Lender the opportunity to provide any New Loan Commitments or commitments in respect of any Alternative Incremental Facility Debt. In each case, such New Loan Commitments shall become effective, and the related Incremental Loans made, as of the applicable Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) no Event of Default (except in connection with a New Term Loan Commitment incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition, in which case no Event of Default under Section 10.1(a) or (h)) shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before and after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments (provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply in connection with the incurrence of any Alternative Incremental Facility Debt), (ii) each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of any Group Member in or pursuant to the Loan Documents (except in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investment, in which case customary “specified representations” and those representations and warranties set forth in the related acquisition agreement that are material to the interests of the Lenders) shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on such Increased Amount Date (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) as of such earlier date), before and after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments, as if made on and as of such Increased Amount Date (provided, however, that this clause (ii) shall not apply in connection with the incurrence of any Alternative Incremental Facility Debt), (iii) after giving effect to such Incremental Loans, Availability shall be equal to or greater than

$0, (iv) there shall be no more than four tranches of New Loan Commitments or Alternative Incremental Facility Debt outstanding at any one time, (v) the New Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more joinders to this Agreement (each, a “Joinder Agreement”) executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Additional Revolving Loan Lender or New Term Loan Lender, as applicable, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 5.4(e) and (vi) to the extent that any New Loan Commitments are used to refinance all or any portion of CMBS Loan Pool 1-A, CMBS Loan Pool 1-B and/or CMBS Loan Pool 1-C, the Real Property underlying any such CMBS Financings, as applicable, shall upon the closing of such transaction or promptly thereafter (and in any event within thirty (30) days of the time of the consummation of such refinancing and the effectiveness of such New Loan Commitments or such longer period as otherwise agreed in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent) be added as Eligible Owned Assets hereunder and the Subsidiaries of the Borrower owning such Real Property shall become Qualified Asset Guarantors, in each case in accordance with Section 8.10. No Lender shall have any obligation to provide any New Loan Commitments or Alternative Incremental Facility Debt pursuant to this Section 2.14(a).

(b) On any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the foregoing terms and conditions, with respect to Revolving Credit Commitment Increases, (i) each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class shall assign to each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (each, an “Additional Revolving Loan Lender”), and each of the Additional Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the Revolving Credit Loans of such Class will be held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders and Additional Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class after giving effect to the addition of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase to the Revolving Credit Commitments and the participations in respect of Letters of Credit of such Class shall be reallocated so that such participations are held ratably among the Lenders of such Class in accordance with their commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, and (ii) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.11 in connection with the assignments described in clause (i) of this paragraph (b).

(c) On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Loan Commitments of any Class are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Lender with a New Term Loan Commitment (each, a “New Term Loan Lender”) of any Class shall make a Loan to the Borrower (a “New Term Loan” and, together with the Incremental Revolving Credit Loans and the Additional Term Loans, the “ Incremental Loans”) in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment of such Class, and (ii) each New Term Loan Lender of any Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Commitment of such Class and the New Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto.

(d) The terms and provisions of the New Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments of any Class shall be on terms and documentation set forth in the Joinder Agreement as determined by the Borrower; provided that:

(i) the maturity date of each Class shall be no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date of the Initial Term Loans;

(ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of all New Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans;

(iii) the pricing, interest rate margins, discounts, premiums, rate floors, fees, prepayment terms and premiums, maturity date (subject to clauses (i) and (ii)), and amortization schedule (subject to clause (ii)) applicable to any New Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders thereunder; provided that, if the Effective Yield for such New Term Loans exceeds the Effective Yield in respect of the Initial Term Loans, the Applicable Margin in respect of the Initial Term Loans shall be increased to be equal to the Effective Yield in respect of the New Term Loans; provided further that any increase in the Applicable Margin in respect of the Initial Term Loans required pursuant to this clause (d) and resulting from the application of any pricing “floor” to any New Term Loans solely to the extent required by the proviso in the definition of “Effective Yield” shall be effected solely through an increase in such pricing “floor”, if any, applicable to the Initial Term Loans; and

(iv) such terms and documentation are not materially more restrictive (as determined in good faith by the Borrower taken as a whole) than the Initial Term Loans (except to the extent permitted by clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above) unless (x) they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (y) the Initial Term Loan Lenders also receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (z) such more restrictive terms apply only after the Maturity Date of the Initial Term Loans (it being understood that, to the extent any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant is added for the benefit of any New Term Loans, no consent will be required from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant is also added for the benefit of all of the Loans).

(e) The terms and provisions of the New Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Loans thereunder shall be on terms and documentation set forth in the Joinder Agreement determined by the Borrower; provided that:

(i) any such New Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall not (x) mature earlier than, or have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than, the Maturity Date and Weighted Average Life to Maturity, respectively, applicable to the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments and related Revolving Credit Loans at the time of incurrence of such New Revolving Credit Commitments or (y) require any scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Revolving Maturity Date at the time of incurrence of such New Revolving Credit Commitments;

(ii) assignments and participations of New Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Loans thereunder shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans on the applicable Increased Amount Date;

(iii) any New Revolving Credit Commitments may constitute a separate Class or Classes, as the case may be, of Commitments from the Classes constituting the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments prior to such Increased Amount Date;

(iv) subject to the provisions of Section 3.12 all Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments of the same Class in accordance with their percentage of such Revolving Credit Commitments on the applicable Increased Amount Date (and except as provided in Section 3.12, without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued in respect of such Class);

(v) the permanent repayment of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to, and termination of, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments after the associated Increased Amount Date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments on such Increased Amount Date, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class;

(vi) the borrowing and repayment (except for (1) payments of interest and fees at different rates on New Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (2) repayments required upon the maturity date of the New Revolving Credit Commitments, and (3) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of New Revolving Credit Commitments (subject to clause (v) above)) of Loans with respect to Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments after the associated Increased Amount Date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments on such Increased Amount Date;

(vii) the pricing, fees and maturity (subject to clause (i)) shall be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders thereunder; provided that if the Effective Yield for such New Revolving Credit Loans exceeds the Effective Yield in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans in respect of the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans in respect of the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments shall be increased to be equal to the Effective Yield in respect of the New Revolving Credit Loans minus 0.50%; provided further that any increase in the Applicable Margin in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans in respect of the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments required pursuant to this clause (vii) and resulting from the application of any pricing “floor” to any New Revolving Credit Loans solely to the extent required by the proviso in the definition of “Effective Yield” shall be effected solely through an increase in such pricing “floor”, if any, applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans in respect of the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments; and

(viii) the other terms of any New Revolving Credit Commitments may be different than those of the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments and the related Revolving Credit Loans; provided that if such terms are materially more restrictive (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), taken as a whole, than those of the Initial

Revolving Credit Commitments and the related Revolving Credit Loans (except with respect to pricing, fees and maturity), then (x) such more restrictive terms shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (y) the initial Revolving Credit Lenders shall also receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (z) such more restrictive terms shall apply only after the Maturity Date of the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments and the related Revolving Credit Loans (it being understood that that such terms and conditions shall not be deemed to be “materially more restrictive” solely as a result of the addition of a Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant so long as such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant is added for the benefit of each Class of Loans (provided, however, that if the Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant is a “springing” financial maintenance covenant applicable only to the revolving credit facilities, the Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant shall only be included in this Agreement for the benefit of each revolving credit facility hereunder (and not for the benefit of any term loan facility hereunder) and such Indebtedness shall not be deemed “materially more restrictive” solely as a result of such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant benefiting only such revolving credit facilities)).

(f) No loans to be made pursuant to any New Loan Commitments or any Alternative Incremental Facility Debt may be secured by any collateral that is not Collateral or guaranteed by any subsidiaries that are not Guarantors.

(g) Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect technical and corresponding amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provision of this Section 2.14, including, in the case of the Additional Term Loans, the allocation of interest periods ratably among all Loans of such Class. The Borrower may use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans in accordance with Section 6.14.

(h) (i) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion (but in no event less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding at such time) of the Term Loans of any Class (an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be converted or exchanged to extend the scheduled final maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14(h). In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Class which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall not be materially more restrictive to the Loan Parties (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class unless (x) the Lenders of the Term Loans of such applicable Existing Term Loan Class receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the Term Loan Maturity Date for the Initial Term Loans (a “Permitted Other Provision”); provided, however, that (x) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of all or a portion of any principal amount of the Extended Term Loans

may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.5 or in the Joinder Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were converted, in each case as more particularly set forth in paragraph (iv) of this Section 2.14(h) below), (y)(A) the interest margins, rate floors, fees, discounts and prepayment premiums with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the interest margins, rate floors, fees, discounts and prepayment premiums for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and/or (B) additional fees, premiums or “applicable high yield discount obligation” payments may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment and to the extent that any Permitted Other Provision (including a financial maintenance covenant) is added for the benefit of any such Indebtedness, no consent shall be required by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders if such Permitted Other Provision is also added for the benefit of any corresponding Loans remaining outstanding after the issuance or incurrence of such Indebtedness or if such Permitted Other Provision applies only after the Term Loan Maturity Date for the Initial Term Loans and (z) no such extension may become effective unless the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding at such time agrees to have its Term Loans converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to such Term Loan Extension Request. Subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, the Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) and mandatory prepayment terms as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were converted.

(ii) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion (but in no event less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding at such time) of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class, any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and/or any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, each existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Credit Commitment” and any related revolving credit loans thereunder, “Existing Revolving Credit Loans”; each Existing Revolving Credit Commitment and related Existing Revolving Credit Loans together being referred to as an “Existing Revolving Credit Class”) be converted or exchanged to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Loans related to such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” and any related Loans, “Extended Revolving Credit Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14(h); provided that no such extension may become effective unless the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding at such time agrees to have its Revolving Credit Commitment converted into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. In order to

establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class of Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Revolving Credit Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which shall not be materially more restrictive to the Loan Parties (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the applicable Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment”) unless (x) the Lenders providing Existing Revolving Credit Commitments receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that (I) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, (II)(A) the interest margins, rate floors, fees, discounts and prepayment premiums with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the interest margins, rate floors, fees, discounts and prepayment premiums for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and/or (B) additional fees and premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and (III) the undrawn revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the Commitment Fee Rate for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(h) or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to any Original Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Original Revolving Credit Commitments and (2) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Credit Loans related to such Commitments set forth in Section 12.6. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of any Existing Revolving Credit Class converted or exchanged into Extended Revolving Credit Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Revolving Credit Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and from any other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so established on such date).

(iii) Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request converted or exchanged into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date

specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request that it has elected to convert or exchange into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections shall be converted or exchanged to Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment included in each such Extension Election or as may otherwise be agreed to in the applicable Extension Election. Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Revolving Credit Commitment into an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, unless expressly agreed by the holders of each affected Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment, such Extended Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be treated more favorably than all other Original Revolving Credit Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender in respect of Letters of Credit under Article III, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the L/C Maturity Date may be extended and the related obligation to issue Letters of Credit may be continued so long as the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer has consented to such extensions in its sole discretion (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).

(iv) Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.14(h)(iv) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 12.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.14(h)(i), each Extension Amendment shall amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.5 or the applicable Joinder Agreement with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which the Extended Term Loans were converted to reduce each scheduled repayment amount for the Existing Term Loan Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class is to be converted pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any repayment amount payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(h) and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 12.1

to any Section 2.14 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.14 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments are within the requirements of Section 2.14(h)(i) and do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to (1) consents applicable to holders of New Term Loans and New Revolving Credit Commitments provided for in any Joinder Agreement and (2) consents applicable to holders of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 12.1.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Class is converted or exchanged to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clauses (i) and/or (ii) above (an “Extension Date”), (I) in the case of the existing Term Loans of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted or exchanged by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Term Loans (together with any other Extended Term Loans so established on such date), and (II) in the case of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so converted or exchanged by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and from any other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so established on such date) and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, such Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) and Existing Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.

(i) In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower shall have one (1) option to extend the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date for a period of twelve (12) months upon the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: (A) the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice of the Borrower’s intent to exercise such extension option not more than 180 days and not less than 90 days prior to the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date; (B) as of the date of the Borrower’s delivery of its intent to exercise the extension option, and as of the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and the Borrower shall so certify in writing); (C) as of the date of the Borrower’s delivery of its intent to exercise the extension option, and as of the Initial Revolving Loan

Maturity Date, all representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) (except where such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (or if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) as of such earlier date) and the Borrower shall be in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Loan Documents on a Pro Forma Basis (and shall provide a certificate as evidence of such compliance); and (D) on or prior to the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders a fee in an amount equal to 0.15% of the then aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders, along with all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of counsel) in connection with such extension.

(j) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.14 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees, or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Amendment) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment or amendment section) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or restrict any such extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.14.

Section 2.15. Replacement of Lenders or Termination of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances.

(a) The Borrower shall be permitted (x) to replace any Lender with a replacement bank or other financial institution or (y) to terminate the Commitment of a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a Lender (other than a Letter of Credit Issuer), repay all Obligations of the Borrower due and owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of a Letter of Credit Issuer, repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Letter of Credit Issuer relating to the Loans and participations held by such Letter of Credit Issuer as of such termination date and cancel or backstop on terms satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer any Letters of Credit issued by it that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken, or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) such replacement or termination does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default under Section 10.1(a) or (h) shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement or termination, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or in the case of a replacement, the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts pursuant to Sections 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, as the case may be, owing to such replaced or terminated Lender prior to the date of replacement or termination, as the case may be, (iv) any replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, an Affiliate of the Lender or Approved Fund, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) any replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 12.6(b), (vi) any replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.6(b)

(provided that the failure of any such replaced Lender to execute an assignment shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register), (vii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender and (viii) such replacement bank or institution would not have been entitled to reimbursement or have been affected as provided in (a) or (b) above.

(b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1 requires the consent of either (i) all of the Lenders directly and adversely affected or (ii) all of the Lenders, and, in each case, with respect to which the Required Lenders (or more than 50% of the directly and adversely affected Lenders) shall have granted their consent or if a Lender rejects (or is deemed to reject) the Extension Election under Section 2.14, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to (x) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (to the extent such consent would be required under Section 12.6(b)) or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a Lender (other than a Letter of Credit Issuer), repay all Obligations of the Borrower due and owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of a Letter of Credit Issuer, repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Letter of Credit Issuer relating to the Loans and participations held by such Letter of Credit Issuer as of such termination date and cancel or backstop on terms satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer any Letters of Credit issued by it; provided that (a) all Obligations hereunder of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment including any amounts that such Lender may be owed pursuant to Section 2.11, (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (c) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender the amount, if any, owing to such Lender pursuant to Section 5.1(b) (it being understood that such amount shall only be required to be paid (i) if such Lender with Initial Term Loans is required to assign such Initial Term Loans under this Section 2.15(b) in connection with a Repricing Transaction and (ii) to the extent such Initial Term Loans are subject to a Repricing Transaction). In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 13.6.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto agrees that any assignment pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.15 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender making such assignment need not be a party thereto.

Section 2.16. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(a);

(b) the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 12.1); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 12.1, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof;

(i) all or any part of the Letter of Credit Exposure (other than any portion thereof attributable to Unpaid Drawings with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 3.4) of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages but only to the extent that (A) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments and (B) the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time); provided that no reallocation under this clause (i) shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation;

(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 Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuers the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8 for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure for so long as such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized;

(iv) if any portion of the Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 4.1(a) and 4.1(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 4.1(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the Letter of Credit Issuers (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Letter of Credit Issuer) until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Exposure is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless, in each case, it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure will be fully covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateral provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.16(c), and participating interests in any such issued, amended, renewed or extended Letter of Credit will be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.16(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(e) In the event that (i) a Lender-Related Distress Event shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such Lender-Related Distress Event shall continue or (ii) any Letter of Credit Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless such Letter of Credit Issuer shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or the applicable Lender, satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

(f) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Letter of Credit Issuer each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused the applicable Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that, except as otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from a Defaulting Lender to a Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(g) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 10 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.7), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative

Agent hereunder; second, in the case of a Revolving Credit Lender, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to each Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, other than in the case of a Term Lender, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize, in accordance with Section 3.8, the Letter of Credit Issuer’s potential future fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any Specified Swap Agreement with such Defaulting Lender as certified by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Defaulting Lender) prior to such date of payment; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Unpaid Drawings, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant Loans of, and Unpaid Drawings owed to, the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied in the manner set forth in this Section 2.16(g). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.8 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

and from time to time after the Closing Date and prior to the L/C Maturity Date, each Letter of Credit Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Article III, to issue from time to time from the Closing Date through the L/C Maturity Date for the account of the Borrower (or, so long as the Borrower is the primary obligor, for the account of any Subsidiary of the Borrower) letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit ” and each, a “Letter of Credit”) in such form as may be approved by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its reasonable discretion. Each letter of credit listed on Schedule 3.1A shall be deemed to constitute a Letter of Credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would cause Availability to be less than $0 and (y) (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letters of Credit Outstanding at such time, would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment then in effect; (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would cause the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at the time of the issuance thereof to exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect; (iii) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date occurring no later than the earlier of (x) one year after the date of issuance thereof (except as set forth in Section 3.2(d)) and (y) the L/C Maturity Date; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may have an expiration date (A) occurring later than the L/C Maturity Date to the extent agreed upon by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and, unless such Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized, the Revolving Credit Lenders and (B) up to one year after the L/C Maturity Date if, not later than ninety (90) days prior to the L/C Maturity Date, the Borrower provides cash collateral acceptable to all Letter of Credit Issuers in an amount equal to 102% of the aggregate face amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit with expiration dates after the L/C Maturity Date); (iv) the Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars; (v) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if it would be illegal under any applicable law for the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit to have a Letter of Credit issued in its favor; (vi) no Letter of Credit shall be issued by any Letter of Credit Issuer after it has received a written notice from any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders stating that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing until such time as such Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or (y) the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1; (vii) the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall not exceed $40,000,000 at any time without its consent; and (viii) the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of Bank of America, N.A. shall not exceed $40,000,000 at any time without its consent.

(c) Upon at least two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment in whole or in part; provided that, after giving effect to such termination or reduction, the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment.

(d) No Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

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

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Letter of Credit Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(iii) except as otherwise agreed by such Letter of Credit Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial Stated Amount less than $100,000 (or such lower amount as may be agreed to by such Letter of Credit Issuer), in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $100,000 (or such lower amount as may be agreed to by the Letter of Credit Issuer), in the case of a standby Letter of Credit;

(v) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the Stated Amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(e) a default of any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 3.3 exists or any Revolving Credit Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless, in each case, the Borrower has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer to eliminate such Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure.

(f) No Letter of Credit Issuer shall increase the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit if such Letter of Credit Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(g) No Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Letter of Credit Issuer 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.

(h) Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith and each Letter of Credit Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article XI with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article XI included such Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Letter of Credit Issuer.

(a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account or amended, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer a Letter of Credit Request by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days (or such other period as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and such

Letter of Credit Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance or amendment. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Request may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by such Letter of Credit Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to such Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b) In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer: (i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the Stated Amount thereof; (iii) the expiry date thereof; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vii) the identity of the applicant; and (viii) such other matters as such Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to such Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such Letter of Credit Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(c) Unless a Letter of Credit Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Sections 7.1 (solely with respect to any Letter of Credit issued on the Closing Date) and 7.2 shall not then be satisfied to the extent required thereby, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or, so long as the Borrower is the primary obligor, for the account of a Subsidiary of the Borrower) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

(d) If the Borrower so requests in any Letter of Credit Request, a Letter of Credit Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent any such extension 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 and the Borrower not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Letter of Credit Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Maturity Date, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and such Letter of Credit

Issuer; provided, however, that such Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such extension if

(A) such Letter of Credit Issuer has reasonably determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 3.1(b) or otherwise), or (B) it has received written notice on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7.2 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such extension.

(e) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, each Letter of Credit Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. On the first Business Day of each month, each Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide the Administrative Agent a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time.

(f) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.1(b).

(a) Immediately upon the issuance by a Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender (each such Revolving Credit Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3, an “L/C Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in each Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided that the Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Participants as provided in Section 4.1(b) and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any fees paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Letter of Credit Issuer in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation relative to the L/C Participants other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

(c) In the event that any Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount in full to such Letter of Credit Issuer through the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such failure, and each L/C Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in immediately available funds. If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees that are reasonably and customarily charged by such Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing. The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever the Administrative Agent receives a payment in respect of an unpaid reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each L/C Participant that has paid its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such reimbursement obligation, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such L/C Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants) of the amount so paid in respect of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective L/C Participations at the Overnight Rate.

(e) The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances.

(f) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.3(c) is required to be returned under any circumstance (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Letter of Credit Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the

Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(a) The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment with respect to any drawing under any Letter of Credit in the same currency in which such drawing was made unless such Letter of Credit Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in the notice of drawing that it will require reimbursement in Dollars. Any such reimbursement shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for any payment or disbursement made by a Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) no later than the date that is one Business Day after the date on which the Borrower receives written notice of such payment or disbursement (the “Reimbursement Date”), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date, from the Reimbursement Date to the date the Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans plus the ABR as in effect from time to time (which interest will accrue at the Default Rate in accordance with Section 2.8(c)); provided that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date that the Borrower intends to reimburse the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing requesting that, with respect to Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Lenders make Revolving Credit Loans (which shall be denominated in Dollars and which shall be ABR Loans) on the Reimbursement Date in the amount of such drawing and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such drawing and the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each L/C Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrower in Dollars in the manner deemed to have been requested in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Reimbursement Date by making the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent. Such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made without regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount. The Administrative Agent shall use the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans solely for purposes of reimbursing the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer for the related Unpaid Drawing. In the event that the Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the L/C Maturity Date, the full amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an Unpaid Drawing subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4 except that the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall hold the proceeds received from the L/C Participants as contemplated above as cash collateral for such Letter of Credit to reimburse any drawing under such Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first, to reimburse itself for any drawings made in respect of such Letter of Credit following the L/C Maturity Date, second, to the extent such Letter of Credit expires or is returned undrawn while any such cash collateral remains, to the repayment of obligations in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans that

have not been paid at such time and third, to the Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 3.4(a) shall affect the Borrower’s obligation to repay all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

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

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, relevant Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(c) waiver by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer of any requirement that exists for such Letter of Credit Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower (or any Subsidiary of the Borrower) or any waiver by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower (or any Subsidiary of the Borrower);

(d) any payment made by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;

(e) any payment by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code;

(f) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

(g) any adverse change in any relevant exchange rates or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(h) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or an equitable discharge of, or provide a right of set off against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder (or any Subsidiary of the Borrower) (other than the defense of payment or performance).

(i) The foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Letter of Credit Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Letter of Credit Issuer’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 gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Letter of Credit Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Letter of Credit Issuer 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, a Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole 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.

Section 3.5. Increased Costs. If after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or actual compliance by any Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant with any request or directive made or adopted after the Closing Date (whether or not having the force of law), by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (x) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Letter of Credit Issuer, or any L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, or (y) impose on any Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant any other conditions or costs affecting its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein or any Letter of Credit or such L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the actual cost to any Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the actual amount of any sum received or receivable by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant hereunder (including any increased costs or reductions attributable to Taxes, other than any such increase or reduction attributable to (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4 or (ii) Excluded Taxes) in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein, then, promptly after receipt of written demand to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent (with respect to a Letter of Credit issued on account of the Borrower (or any Subsidiary of the Borrower))), the Borrower shall pay to such Letter of Credit Issuer or

such L/C Participant such actual additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that no Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant shall be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Person’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Closing Date. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such actual additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall be entitled to seek compensation under this Section 3.5 based on the occurrence of a Change in Law arising solely from (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or (y) Basel III or any requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, unless such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer (in such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s reasonable determination) is generally seeking compensation from other borrowers in the U.S. leveraged loan market with respect to its similarly affected commitments, loans and/or participations under agreements with such borrowers having provisions similar to this Section 3.5.

(a) Any Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as a Letter of Credit Issuer upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. The Borrower may replace any Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Letter of Credit Issuer. The Borrower may add Letter of Credit Issuers at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent. If any Letter of Credit Issuer shall resign or be replaced, or if the Borrower shall decide to add a new Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer (with the agreement to become a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer to be in the sole discretion of such Lender), as the case may be, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), another successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer accepting such appointment shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit accepting such appointment shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, and the term “Letter of Credit Issuer” shall mean such successor or such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment. At the time such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay to the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer all accrued and unpaid fees applicable to the Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 4.1(b) and (d). The acceptance of any appointment as a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, whether as a successor issuer or new issuer of Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become the Letter of

Credit Issuer hereunder. After the resignation or replacement of any Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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. In connection with any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case of any such resignation, only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have been appointed), either (i) the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to have any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer (at 102% of the face amount thereof) or cause the successor issuer of Letters of Credit, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer, to issue “back-stop” Letters of Credit naming the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, which new Letters of Credit shall be denominated in the same currency as, and shall have a face amount equal to, the Letters of Credit being back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on the corresponding back-stopped Letters of Credit. After any resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer’s resignation or replacement as Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this Agreement relating to such Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A) while it was a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (B) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b) To the extent there are, at the time of any resignation or replacement as set forth in Section 3.6(a), any outstanding Letters of Credit, nothing herein shall be deemed to impact or impair any rights and obligations of any of the parties hereto with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, any obligations related to the payment of Fees or the reimbursement or funding of amounts drawn), except that the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have the obligations regarding outstanding Letters of Credit described in Section 3.6(a).

Section 3.7. Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of any Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to,

and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuit of such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of any Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.3(b); provided that anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against a Letter of Credit Issuer, and such Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit in each case as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

Each Letter of Credit Issuer 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.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or a Letter of Credit Issuer, if (i) as of the L/C Maturity Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (ii) the Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 10.1, or (iii) the provisions of Section 2.16(c)(ii) are in effect, to the extent the applicable L/C Obligation has not already been Cash Collateralized in accordance with the terms hereof, the Borrower shall immediately (in the case of clause (ii) above) or within one Business Day (in all other cases) following any written request by the Administrative Agent or such Letter of Credit Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iii) above, after giving effect to Section 2.16(c)(ii) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to (and subject to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein as described in Section 3.8(a), and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant to this Section 3.8(b) and in the possession of the Administrative Agent, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 3.8(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent

determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer as herein provided, other than Liens permitted by Section 9.3, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount (including, without limitation, as a result of exchange rate fluctuations), the Borrower will, promptly upon written demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent (with such interest, to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.8(c), accruing for the benefit of the Borrower). The Borrower shall pay promptly following written demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 3.8 or Sections 2.16, 5.2 or 10.1 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following ( i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 12.6(b)(ii)) or there is no longer existing an Event of Default) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral.

Section 3.9. Governing Law; Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, each Letter of Credit shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, and to the extent not prohibited by such laws, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit (or UCP if required, subject to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer’s approval), and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial applicable Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and no Letter of Credit Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Letter of Credit Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the applicable law or any order of a jurisdiction where such Letter of Credit Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

Section 3.10. Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control and any grant of security interest in any Issuer Documents shall be void.

Section 3.11. Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Subsidiary of the Borrower inures to the benefit of the Borrower and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries.

Section 3.12. Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. If the L/C Maturity Date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then, unless the maturity date of such Letter of Credit has already been extended in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement, (i) if consented to by the Letter of Credit Issuer which issued such Letter of Credit, if one or more other tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the L/C Maturity Date shall not have so occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit for which consent has been obtained shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 3.8. Upon the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit and the maximum Letters of Credit Outstanding applicable to each Letter of Credit Issuer, may each be reduced as agreed between the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Borrower, without the consent of any other Person.

(a) Without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender (in each case pro rata according to the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of all such Lenders), a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for each day from the Closing Date to the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each Commitment Fee shall be payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September, and December (for the three- month period (or portion thereof) ended on such day for which no payment has been received) and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (for the period ended on such date for which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (x) above), and shall be computed for each day during such period at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day on the Available Commitment in effect on such day.

(b) Without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Letter of Credit Exposure, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued on the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ behalf (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding the termination or expiration date of such Letter of Credit computed at the per annum rate for each day equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Revolving Credit Loans. Except as provided below, such Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September, and December and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect.

(c) Without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for its own account, administrative agent fees as have been previously agreed in writing or as may be agreed in writing from time to time.

(d) Without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer a fee in Dollars in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it to the Borrower (the “Fronting Fee”) of (i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit, the greater of (a) $500 and (b) 0.125% per annum of the amount of such Letter of Credit, and (ii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, the greater of (a) $500 and (b) for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the termination date of such Letter of Credit, an amount computed at the rate per annum agreed with the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer for each day equal to 0.125% per annum on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit (or at such other rate per annum as agreed in writing between the Borrower and such Letter of Credit Issuer). Such Fronting Fees shall be due and payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day after the end of each of March, June, September and December and (y) on the date upon which the Total Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall have been reduced to zero or Cash Collateralized (at 102% of the face amount thereof).

(e) Without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay directly to the Letter of Credit Issuer in Dollars upon each issuance or renewal of, drawing under, and/or amendment of, a Letter of Credit issued by it such amount as shall at the time of such issuance or renewal of, drawing under, and/or amendment be the processing charge that the Letter of Credit Issuer is customarily charging for issuances or renewals of, drawings under or amendments of, letters of credit issued by it.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 4.1.

(a) Upon at least two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments in whole or in part; provided that (a) any such reduction shall apply proportionately and permanently to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each of the Lenders of any applicable Class, except that (i) notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the establishment on any date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14(h), the Revolving Credit Commitments of any one or more Lenders providing any such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such date shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount of Revolving Credit Commitments so extended on such date (provided that (x) after giving effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Revolving Credit Loans made on such date, the Revolving Credit Exposure of any such Lender does not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment thereof and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, any such repayment of Revolving Credit Loans contemplated by the preceding clause shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 5.3(a) with respect to the ratable allocation of payments hereunder, with such allocation being determined after giving effect to any conversion pursuant to Section 2.14(h) of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Loans prior to any reduction being made to the Revolving Credit Commitment of any other Lender) and (ii) the Borrower may at its election permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender or such other Lenders pursuant to Section 2.15 to $0 without affecting the Revolving Credit Commitments of any other Lender, (b) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, and (c) after giving effect to such termination or reduction and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the date thereof in accordance with this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures in respect of any Class shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class.

(b) The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.16(g) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(a) The Initial Term Loan Commitments shall terminate on the Closing Date, contemporaneously with the Borrowing of the Initial Term Loans.

(b) The Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate at 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans, including Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, in each case, other than as set forth in Section 5.1(b), without premium or penalty, in whole or in part from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (1) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice of its intent to make such prepayment, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice shall be given by the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) (i) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, three Business Days prior to, and (ii) in the case of ABR Loans, one Business Day prior to, the date of such prepayment and shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders; (2) each partial prepayment of (i) any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) any ABR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided that no partial prepayment 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 applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Eurodollar Loans, and (3) in the case of any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall, promptly after receipt of a written request by any applicable Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required pursuant to Section 2.11. Each prepayment in respect of any Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be (a) applied to the Class or Classes of Term Loans as the Borrower may specify and (b) applied to reduce Initial Term Loan Repayment Amounts, any New Term Loan Repayment Amounts, and, subject to Section 2.14(h), Extended Term Loan Repayment Amounts, as the case may be, in each case, in such order as the Borrower may specify; provided that, in the event the Borrower does not specify the manner in which any prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied, such prepayment amount shall be applied to reduce the Repayment Amounts in the direct order of maturity and on a pro rata basis among Term Loan Classes. All prepayments under this Section 5.1 shall also be subject to the provisions of Sections 5.2(d) and 5.2(e).

(b) In the event that, prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower (i) makes any prepayment of Initial Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction the effect of which is to decrease the Effective Yield on such Initial Term Loans or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction the effect of which is to decrease the Effective Yield on such Initial Term Loans, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of each Lender with outstanding Initial Term Loans, (x) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans being prepaid in connection with such Repricing Transaction and (y) in the case of clause (ii), an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment that are subject to an effective pricing reduction pursuant to such Repricing Transaction. Such fees shall be due and payable upon the date of such prepayment or the effectiveness of such amendment, as applicable.

(a) Availability Prepayments. If for any reason on any date Availability is less than $0, the Borrower shall forthwith repay on such date the Loans (including L/C Borrowings) and/or Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit Outstanding in an aggregate amount necessary to cause Availability to be greater than or equal to $0. Each prepayment pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be applied, first, to the outstanding Revolving Loans (without any permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) until paid in full, second, to Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit Outstanding and, third, to the outstanding Term Loans.

(b) Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. If on any date the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures in respect of any Class of Revolving Loans for any reason exceeds 100% of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect, the Borrower shall forthwith repay on such date Revolving Loans of such Class in an amount equal to such excess. If after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans of such Class, the Revolving Credit Exposures of such Class exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit Outstanding in relation to such Class to the extent of such excess.

(c) Application to Repayment Amounts. Each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(a) shall be allocated pro rata among the Initial Term Loans, the New Term Loans and the Extended Term Loans based on the applicable remaining Repayment Amounts due thereunder and shall be applied within each Class of Term Loans in respect of such Term Loans in direct order of maturity thereof; provided that if any Class of Extended Term Loans have been established hereunder, the Borrower may allocate such prepayment in its sole discretion to the remaining Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class, if any, from which such Extended Term Loans were converted (except, as to Term Loans made pursuant to a Joinder Agreement, as otherwise set forth in such Joinder Agreement). With respect to each such prepayment, the Borrower shall forthwith give the Administrative Agent written notice which shall include a calculation of the amount of such prepayment to be applied to each Class of Term Loans requesting that the Administrative Agent provide notice of such prepayment to each Initial Term Loan Lender, New Term Loan Lender, or Extended Term Loan Lender, as applicable.

(d) Application to Term Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(a), the Borrower may, if applicable, specify the order of prepayment (or, if not specified, in direct order of maturity) and designate the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

(e) Application to Revolving Credit Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Revolving Loans required by Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b), the Borrower may, if applicable, designate (i) the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made and (ii) the Revolving Loans to be prepaid; provided that (x) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such

Loans; and (y) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (x), no prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans of any Defaulting Lender unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Borrower. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto or the Letter of Credit Issuer entitled thereto, as the case may be, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), in each case, on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Borrower, it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. All repayments or prepayments of any Loans (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder shall be made in the currency in which such Loans are denominated and all other payments under each Loan Document shall, unless otherwise specified in such Loan Document, be made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) or, otherwise, on the next Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.

(b) Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) may be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or L/C Participations resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or L/C Participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the applicable Class of Loans or L/C Participations, as applicable, of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class and L/C Participations, as applicable, and other amounts owing them; provided that the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in

accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or L/C Participations to any assignee or participant (including the Borrower) in a transaction that complies with the terms of Section 12.6.

(d) To the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 12.7(b).

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.

(ii) If any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Withholding Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are reasonably determined by such Withholding Agent to be required by applicable law, (B) such Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or deductions have been made (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4) each Lender (or, in the case of a payment to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(c) Tax Indemnifications. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) or (b) above, the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4) payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, 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 setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and amount of any such payment or liability (along with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts) delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as is practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 5.4, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Loan Party, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. Any documentation and information required to be delivered by a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.4(e) (including any specific documentation set forth in subsection (ii) below) shall be delivered by such Lender (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before any date on which such documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, (iii) after the occurrence of any change in the Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and each such Lender shall promptly notify in writing the Borrower and the Administrative Agent if such Lender is no longer legally eligible to provide any documentation previously provided. If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its legal inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.4(e)(ii)(A), 5.4(e)(ii)(B) or 5.4(e)(ii)(D)) 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.

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements;

(B) each Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) two (2) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form thereto), claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

(2) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor form thereto);

(3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1, J-2, J-3 or J-4, as applicable, (a “Non-Bank Tax Certificate”), to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that no payments under any Loan Document are effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Lender’s conduct of a United States trade or business and (y) two (2) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successors thereto);

(4) where such Lender is a partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or otherwise not a beneficial owner (e.g., where such Lender has sold a participation), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto) and all required supporting documentation (including, where one or more of the underlying beneficial owner(s) is claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption, a Non-Bank Tax Certificate of such beneficial owner(s)) (provided that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender, the Non-Bank Tax Certificate(s) may be provided by the Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of the direct or indirect partner(s)); or

(5) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine 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 and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code or any applicable intergovernmental agreement) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA 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.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4, no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.4, the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable) shall promptly pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 5.4 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any

Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or any Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or any Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(g) 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 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 (g).

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.4, the term Lender includes each Letter of Credit Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under the Loan Documents.

(a) Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, interest on Eurodollar Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest on ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be, unless ABR is determined by reference to clause (c) thereof, in which case 360 days) day year for the actual days elapsed.

(b) Fees and the average daily Stated Amount of Letters of Credit shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.

(a) No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Obligations in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

(b) Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

(c) Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8; provided that to the extent lawful, the interest or other amounts that would have been payable but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower.

To induce the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and to issue the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each Lender that (provided that for purposes of Sections 6.1, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.9, 6.10, 6.12, 6.16 and 6.18, the Company shall be deemed to be a Loan Party):

Section 6.1. Financial Condition. The financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(b) other than the Pro Forma Balance Sheet present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of such Person and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date of each such financial statement. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved except to the extent provided in the notes to such financial statements, subject to year- end audit adjustments. Each Lender, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company, the Borrower (or any direct or indirect parent company) and its Subsidiaries may be required to restate historical financial statements as the result of the implementation of changes in GAAP or the interpretation thereof or as otherwise required by the Borrower’s accountants, in each case solely as a result of the facts disclosed to the Lead Arrangers prior to the Closing Date, and that such restatements will not result in a Default or an Event of Default under the Loan Documents. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2015 (including any notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet” and such date, the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet Date”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Administrative Agent, has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to the consummation of the Transactions. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Company to be reasonable as of the date of delivery thereof to the Administrative Agent and as of the date hereof, and, subject to the qualifications and limitations contained in the notes attached thereto, presents fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis, the estimated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the Pro Forma Balance Sheet Date, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.

Section 6.2. No Change. Since December 31, 2014, there has been no development or event that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.3. Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate, limited liability or limited partnership, as applicable, power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged except for where failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified to do business in, and in good standing under the laws of, each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except for where failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.4. Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate, limited liability or limited partnership, as applicable, power and authority, and the legal right, to enter into and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan

Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (a) consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) filings to perfect the Liens created under the Collateral Documents and to release existing Liens or (c) consents, authorizations, filings and notices, the failure of which to do so obtain or make could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

Section 6.5. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Material Contract or any Governing Document of any Loan Party and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Material Contract (other than the Liens created by the Collateral Documents or Liens permitted pursuant to Section 9.3).

Section 6.6. Litigation. No action, suit, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened in writing against any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or against any of their respective property as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.7. Ownership of Property; Liens. (a) Each Group Member has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its Real Property that is material to its business, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in or the right to use, all its other property that is material to its business, in each case other than (x) minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes, or (y) in the case of assets other than Qualified Assets, where the failure to have such title, interest or other right to use would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 9.3.

(b) Schedule 6.7B sets forth a list of all Qualified Assets. All such Qualified Assets satisfy the Eligibility Criteria with respect to the applicable category of Qualified Assets.

Section 6.8. Intellectual Property. Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, except to the extent that the failure to so own or license such Intellectual Property, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No material claim has been asserted against any Group Member and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property in each case that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim in each case that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person except to the extent that such infringements, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.9. REIT Status; Taxes. The Company (i) qualifies as a “real estate investment trust” as defined in Section 856 of the Code for U.S. Federal income tax purposes (a “REIT”), (ii) has elected to be treated as a REIT and has not revoked its election to be a REIT, (iii) has not engaged in any “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 856(b)(6)(iii) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), (iv) for its current “tax year” (as defined in the Code) is, and for all prior tax years subsequent to its election to be a REIT has been, entitled to a dividends paid deduction which meets the requirements of Section 857 of the Code , and (v) is in compliance with all other requirements and conditions imposed under the Code to allow it to maintain its status as a REIT. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all federal, state and other material tax returns and reports that are required to have been filed and has paid all Taxes on any assessments made against it or any of its property, and all other material Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any Taxes the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Group Member), except where the failure to file or pay could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; no Tax Lien has been filed with respect to assets of any Group Member that is not permitted by Section 9.3, and as of the Closing Date, to the knowledge of the Company or the Borrower, no claim is being asserted with respect to any such Taxes, fees or other charges of any Group Member that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.10. Federal Regulations. (a) No part of the proceeds of any Loans or Letters of Credit, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used by any Loan Party (i) for the purpose, whether immediate or ultimate, of “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or (ii) for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board.

(b) Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged or will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or extending credit for the purpose of “buying” or “carrying” “margin stock”.

Section 6.11. ERISA. Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) each Group Member and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the provisions of the Code relating to Plans and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder; and (b) no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur.

Section 6.12. Investment Company Act. No Group Member is an “investment company” required to be registered as such under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 6.13. Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, (a) Schedule 6.13 sets forth the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary of a Group Member and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Group Member or any Subsidiary of a Group Member and (b) there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than (i) stock options granted to employees or directors and (ii) directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

Section 6.14. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower has not used the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit in any manner in violation of Section 8.11.

(b) Total Indebtedness shall be decreased solely to the extent proceeds of the Cure Amount are actually applied to prepay the Loans; and

(c) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculation, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Covenant set forth in Section 9.1(c), the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Covenants set forth in Section 9.1(c) as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of such Financial Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement; provided that (i) in each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which no Cure Right is made, (ii) there shall be a maximum of three Cure Rights made during the term of this Agreement, (iii) each Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant set forth in Section 9.1(c) and (iv) all Cure Amounts shall be disregarded for all purposes under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any financial ratio determination or any calculation with respect to the Borrowing Base) other than determining compliance with the Financial Covenant set forth in Section 9.1(c) (but not for purposes of any incurrence test measured by reference to Section 9.1(c)).

Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender and each such Letter of Credit Issuer irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Article XI (except for this Section 11.1 and Sections 11.9, 11.12 and 11.13) are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers, and neither the Company nor any Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof.

Section 11.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents, affiliates or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 11.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any of the Letter of Credit Issuers 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 Agents 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 a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

Section 11.4. Reliance by Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence 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 this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a 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 this Agreement or the other Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders, all the Letter of Credit Issuers and all future holders of the Loans and the L/C Participations.

Section 11.5. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, a Letter of Credit Issuer or Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice,

the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders, and the Letter of Credit Issuers. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by 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 this Agreement or the other Loan Documents); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers.

Section 11.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, or upon 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 appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its extensions of credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, or upon any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 11.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each Related Party of any of the foregoing (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective pro rata share (as defined below) in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, the Loans, the Letters of Credit, this

Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud; provided further, with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to any Letter of Credit Issuer in its capacity as such, or to any Related Party of any of Letter of Credit Issuer acting for such Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such capacity, only the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts. For purposes of this Section, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures, unused Revolving Credit Commitments and, except for purposes of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, the outstanding Term Loans and unused Term Commitments, in each case at that time. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent Indemnitee for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent Indemnitee, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent Indemnitee may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent Indemnitee against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata share (as defined below) thereof in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent Indemnitee against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 11.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it or any Letter of Credit issued, amended or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders”, and the terms “Letter of Credit Issuer” and “Letter of Credit Issuers”, shall include each Agent in its individual capacity as such.

Section 11.9. Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which successor agent (other than a Disqualified Institution) shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 10.1(a) or (h) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such

appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its 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 (other than a Disqualified Institution), which successor agent shall (unless (i) an Event of Default under Section 10.1(a) or (h) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) such successor agent is a Lender) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by the Borrower). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor the Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section and Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring the Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as the Administrative Agent. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Required Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as a successor agent is appointed as provided for above.

Section 11.10. Lead Arrangers; Syndication Agent. No Lead Arranger or Syndication Agent shall have any duties, responsibilities, obligations, liabilities, powers or rights hereunder in its capacity as such.

Section 11.11. Agents May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the 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, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Letter of Credit Issuer 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, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 4.1(c) and 11.5.

Section 11.12. Agents Under Collateral Documents. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Collateral Documents; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or (except with respect to the application of proceeds of Collateral pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Secured Cash Management Obligations or Secured Swap Obligations.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, as applicable, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to any Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Subject to Section 12.1, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (a) release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), under any Loan Document ( i) when the Commitments have expired or been terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees, expenses and other amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall have been paid in full (other than contingent amounts not yet due) and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been terminated or Cash Collateralized (at 102% of the face amount thereof) and all Unpaid Drawings shall have been reimbursed or (ii) that is Disposed of as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder to a Person that is not the Borrower or a Guarantor, (iii) as to the extent otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents or (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 12.1; (b) release any Guarantor from its Guarantee Obligations in respect of the Obligations under the Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary) as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; or (c) enter into subordination or intercreditor agreements with respect to Indebtedness to the extent the Administrative Agent is otherwise contemplated herein as being a party to such intercreditor or subordination agreement.

Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) except with respect to the set off rights of any Lender set forth in Section 12.7 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 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 hereof and thereof and all powers, rights, and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Administrative Agent as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no Specified Cash Management Agreement or Specified Swap Agreement will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such Specified Cash Management Agreement or Specified Swap Agreement shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph. No Secured Party that is a party to any such Specified Cash Management Agreement or Specified Swap Agreement that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee Obligation or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any other Loan 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 or Agent and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

Section 11.13. Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to enter into any intercreditor or subordination agreements contemplated herein, and each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer (and each other Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) acknowledge that such intercreditor agreements will be binding upon each of them. Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer (and each other Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of such intercreditor agreements (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers thereof or supplements thereto or other modifications thereto), (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into such intercreditor agreements (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements

or waivers thereof or supplements thereto or other modifications thereto) and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof, and to negotiate, execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any additional Collateral Documents or any amendment (or amendment and restatement) to the Collateral Documents to effect the provisions contemplated by Sections 2.14 or any such intercreditor agreement. Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer (and each other Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) waives any conflict of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against any Agent or any of its affiliates any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.1. Subject to Section 12.1(b), and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; (ii) forgive or otherwise reduce the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Unpaid Drawings, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that any waiver of any condition precedent in Section 7.1 or 7.2, any obligation of the Borrower to pay default interest or amendment to Section 2.8(c), or any waiver of any Default or Event of Default, and any waiver or amendment of any mandatory prepayment or reduction, any waiver or amendment to the financial covenant definitions, financial ratios or any component thereof, shall be deemed not to have resulted in any increase in the Commitment of any Lender, or forgiveness, reduction, extension or postponement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this proviso); (iii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 12.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iv) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in connection with any sale of Collateral permitted by the Loan Documents) or release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantee Obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral

Agreement (other than in connection with any sale of a Guarantor permitted by the Loan Documents), in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any Class in respect of the right to or priority of payments or the security interest (including perfection and priority) of the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of such Class differently than such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights of the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class, without the written consent of all Lenders; (vi) amend, modify or waive the provisions of Section 9.1(c) (including any definition component thereof, but only as such definitions are used for purposes of Section 9.1(c)) or Article X (solely as it relates to Section 9.1(c)) without the written consent of Required Revolving Credit Lenders (it being understood that any waiver or amendment under this clause (vi) shall not require the consent of the Required Lenders or any Term Lender); (vii) amend, modify or waive the provisions of Section 2.7, Section 5.3(c) or Section 9.1(a) or amend the definitions of “Borrowing Base” or “Advance Percentage” or the calculations underlying the Borrowing Base in a manner that results in more credit being made available to the Borrower based upon the Borrowing Base, in each case without the written consent of each Lender; (viii) increase the Letter of Credit Commitment without the consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent; or (ix) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article XI or any other provision of any Loan Document that directly and adversely affects the Administrative Agent or any Letter of Credit Issuer without the written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable; provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of a particular Class (but not the Lenders of any other Class), may be effected solely by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Majority in Interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, Letter of Credit Issuers, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans and the L/C Participations. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the consent of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall not be required to effect the provisions of Section 2.14 in accordance with the terms thereof, (2) no consent with respect to any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any waiver, amendment or other modification referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly and adversely affected by such waiver, amendment or other modification, (3) in connection with an amendment that addresses solely a repricing transaction in which any Class of Term Loans is refinanced with a replacement Class of Term Loans bearing (or is modified in such a manner such that the resulting Term Loans bear) a lower Effective Yield, only the consent of each Lender holding Term Loans subject to such permitted repricing transaction that will continue as a Lender in respect of the repriced tranche of Term Loans or

modified Term Loans shall be required and (4) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any obvious error or any error or omission of an administrative or technical nature jointly identified by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from (x) the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment or (y) if directly and adversely affected by such amendment, any Letter of Credit Issuer stating that it objects to such amendment. To the extent notice has been provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the definition of Alternative Incremental Facility Debt, Permitted Refinancing or Section 2.14 with respect to the inclusion of any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant, this Agreement shall (automatically and without further action on the part of any Person hereunder and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.1) be deemed modified to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant on the date of the incurrence of the applicable Indebtedness to the extent required by the terms of such definition or Section.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 12.1(a), no Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer consent is required to effect any amendment, modification or supplement to any intercreditor agreement contemplated hereby (i) that is for the purpose of adding the holders of Indebtedness that is secured Indebtedness (or a lender or holder representative with respect thereto) as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms of such intercreditor agreement (it being understood that any such amendment, modification or supplement may make such other changes to such intercreditor agreement, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing and provided that such other changes are not adverse in any material respect to the interests of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers (taken as a whole)) or (ii) that is expressly contemplated by such intercreditor agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to any credit extensions and related Joinder Agreement(s) effectuated without the consent of Lenders in accordance with Section 2.14, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower ( a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and other definitions related to such new Term Loans and Revolving Loans.

(a) All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three (3) Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and as set forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent in the case of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the Lenders shall not be effective until received.

(i) Notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites, including the Platform) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II, III, IV or V if such Person has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(ii) Each Loan Party understands 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 and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(iii) The Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Agents or any of their respective Related Parties warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and the Approved Electronic 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 Agents or their respective Related Parties in connection with the Platform or the Approved Electronic Communications.

(c) Each Loan Party, each Lender, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each Agent agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary document retention procedures and policies.

(i) Any notice of Default or Event of Default may be provided by telephone if confirmed promptly thereafter by delivery of written notice thereof.

(d) Private-Side Information Contacts. Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and State securities laws, to make reference to information that is not made available through the “Public-Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain Private-Side Information. In the event that any Public Lender has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed through the Platform or otherwise, such Public Lender acknowledges that (i) other Lenders may have availed themselves of such information and (ii) neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent has any responsibility for such Public Lender’s decision to limit the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 12.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Section 12.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

Section 12.5. Payment of Expenses; Damages Waiver. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates (other than Excluded Affiliates) for all their reasonable and documented and invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including (i) any expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of, or otherwise relating to, any Acceptable Appraisal or FIRREA appraisals and (ii) the reasonable and documented and invoiced fees, disbursements and other charges of legal counsel which shall be limited to one primary counsel for the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent, taken as a whole, a single counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for all such Persons, taken as a whole (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Person affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one firm of local counsel) for such affected Person (or similarly affected Persons taken as a whole)) incurred in connection with the syndication, development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the Transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including any filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the

Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay all reasonable and documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of Letters of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (c) to pay or reimburse the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders for all their respective reasonable and documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including (i) the reasonable and documented and invoiced fees, disbursements and other charges of legal counsel which shall be limited to one primary counsel for the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders, taken as a whole, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for all such Persons, taken as a whole (if reasonably necessary), and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Person affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) for such affected Person (or similarly affected Persons taken as a whole), in each case excluding allocated costs of in-house counsel, and (ii) the reasonable and documented and invoiced fees and expenses of other consultants and advisers approved by the Borrower, (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold, the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each Lender harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (e) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, each Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Affiliates of each of the foregoing and each of their respective Related Parties (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the syndication, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the issuance of any Letter of Credit (including any refusal by any Letter of Credit Issuer 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) or any Environmental Liability relating to any Group Member or its current or former operations or to any of the Properties and the reasonable and documented and invoiced fees and expenses of one primary counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole (if reasonably necessary), and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one firm of local counsel) for such affected Indemnitee (in each case excluding allocated costs of in-house counsel), whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether initiated against or by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto) (all the foregoing

in this clause (e), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Affiliates or by any of their Related Parties, (ii) any dispute brought solely by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee, do not involve or relate to any request, act or omission by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates and do not involve the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as administrative agent, or any Lead Arranger, in its capacity as a lead arranger or (iii) settlements effected without the Borrower’s prior written consent. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or other Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 12.5 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor, including documentation reasonably supporting such demand. No Loan Party nor any Indemnitee shall have any liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence will limit the indemnity and reimbursement obligations of the Borrower set forth in this Section 12.5. The agreements in this Section 12.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. This Section 12.5 shall not apply to (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4 or (ii) Excluded Taxes.

Section 12.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Letter of Credit Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any Affiliate of the Letter of Credit Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.6(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A) The Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that (i) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof, (ii) with respect to an assignment of a Term Loan or a Term Commitment, no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Term Lender, an Affiliate of a Term Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined below), (iii) with respect to an assignment of a Revolving Credit Loan or a Revolving Credit Commitment, no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Revolving Credit Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Lender or an Approved Fund and (iv) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to any Person if an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(a) or (h) has occurred and is continuing; provided further that it shall be understood that, without limitation, the Borrower shall have the right to withhold its consent to any assignment if, in order for such assignment to comply with applicable law, the Borrower would be required to obtain the consent of any Governmental Authority;

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of a Term Loan or a Term Commitment to a Term Lender, an Affiliate of a Term Lender or an Approved Fund (if made in accordance with the applicable terms of this Section 12.6); and

(C) solely with respect to an assignment of a Revolving Credit Loan or a Revolving Credit Commitment, each Letter of Credit Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or the entire remaining principal outstanding balance of the assigning Lender’s Loans, in each case of any Class, the amount of the Commitments or the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2,500,000 or, in the case of Term Loans and Term Commitments, $1,000,000 and in whole integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(a) or (h) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) no assignment shall be made to (1) any Group Member or any Subsidiary of any of the foregoing (other than pursuant to Section 12.6(g)), (2) any Sponsor Affiliated Lender (other than pursuant to Section 12.6(f)), (3) a natural Person or (4) any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the Persons described in clause (1) through (3) above;

(D) (1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent;

(E) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 5.4(e) and 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 the Borrower 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; and

(F) each partial assignment and delegation shall be made as an assignment and delegation of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause (F) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment and delegation of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans.

For the purposes of this Section 12.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural 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.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.4 and 12.5); provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any other party hereto against such Defaulting Lender arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment, delegation or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Letter of Credit Issuer and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 12.6(b) shall be interpreted and administered such that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 165(g), 871(h)(2), 881(c)(2) and 4701 of the Code.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment and delegation required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee. No assignment or delegation shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph and, following such recording, unless otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent (such determination to be made in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, which determination may be conditioned on the consent of the assigning Lender and the assignee), shall be effective notwithstanding any defect in the Assignment and Assumption relating thereto. Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent that all written consents required by this Section with respect thereto (other than the consent of the Administrative Agent) have been obtained and that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and 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 accordance with the terms of this Section 12.6.

(vi) The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as applicable, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar State laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Agent or any Letter of Credit Issuer, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in accordance with applicable law (other than (x) a natural person, (y) a Disqualified Institution (so long as a list of Disqualified Institutions is made available to the Lenders upon request) or (z) the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates (a “Participant”)) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it, in each case of any Class); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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 or any other Loan Document; 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 clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the proviso to the second sentence of Section 12.1 and (2) directly and adversely affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.4(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.4(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.12 and 2.15 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section, and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or 5.4, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.12 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.7(b) as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 12.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name

and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Term Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The Borrower, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders expressly acknowledge that the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such or as an arranger, bookrunner or other agent hereunder) 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 Institutions or assignments to natural persons and none of the Borrower, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the Lenders will bring any claim to such effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or a natural person or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution or a natural person. This Section 12.6(c) shall be interpreted and administered such that the Loans and any participations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 165(g), 871(h)(2), 881(c)(2) and 4701 of the Code.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Letter of Credit Issuer, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or another central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) the Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

(f) Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Term Loans owing to it (provided, however, that each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Term Loan of a given Class) to any Sponsor Affiliated Lender on a non pro rata basis through (x) one or more modified Dutch auctions (“Auctions”) (provided that (A) notice of the Auction shall be made to all Term Lenders of any relevant Class and (B) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to customary procedures as the Auction Manager may establish which are reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor Affiliated Lender, the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent) or (y) open market purchases, in each case subject to the following additional limitations:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans purchased by assignment pursuant to this Section 12.6(f) by Sponsor Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 25% of the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans at the time of purchase;

(ii) the assigning Lender and the Sponsor Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Loans shall execute and deliver to the Auction Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, an Affiliate Assignment Agreement;

(iii) by its acquisition of Loans, a Sponsor Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:

(A) the Loans held by an Sponsor Affiliated Lender shall be disregarded in both the numerator and denominator in the calculation of any Required Lender vote; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) such assignee shall be permitted to vote if such amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action disproportionately affects such Sponsor Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender as compared to other Lenders, (y) no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action shall, without the consent of the Sponsor Affiliated Lender, deprive any Sponsor Affiliated Lender of its share of any payments and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, such assignee shall be permitted to vote if such amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action requires the consent of all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders; and

(B) no Sponsor Affiliated Lender shall be permitted to attend any meeting, conference call or correspondence with the Administrative Agent or any Lender not attended by any Loan Party, their Affiliates or any Person on behalf of or representing any of the foregoing or receive any information from the Administrative Agent or any other Lender not provided to the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or any Person on behalf of or representing any of the foregoing (other than notices of borrowings, prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans or Term Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II, IV or V);

(iv) for the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders shall not be permitted to assign or delegate Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Exposure to a Sponsor Affiliated Lender; and

(v) no Sponsor Affiliated Lender shall be required to make any representation that it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates or securities, and all parties to any such assignment shall render customary “big boy” disclaimer letters.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.6(f), any Sponsor Affiliated Lender shall be permitted (but shall not be required) to contribute any Term Loan to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and be exchanged for Indebtedness or Capital Stock that are otherwise permitted to be issued at such time (and such Term Loans shall be retired and canceled promptly).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.6 or any other provision of this Agreement, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Term Loans (provided, however, that each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Term Loans of a given Class) owing to it to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof on a non-pro rata basis through (x) one or more Auctions or (y) open market purchases, in each case subject to the following additional limitations:

(i) In the case of any Auction, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary may conduct one or more Auctions to repurchase all or any portion of the Loans; provided that (A) notice of the Auction shall be made to all Term Lenders of the relevant Class and (B) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to customary procedures as the Auction Manager may establish which are consistent with this Section 12.6(g) and are otherwise reasonably acceptable to such Loan Party or such Subsidiary thereto, the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent;

(ii) With respect to all repurchases made by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereto through an Auction pursuant to this Section 12.6(g), (A) such Loan Party or such Subsidiary shall deliver to the Auction Manager a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such repurchase and (B) the assigning Lender and the Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Auction Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, an Affiliate Assignment Agreement;

(iii) Following repurchase by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 12.6(g), the Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (C) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In connection with any Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 12.6(g), the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation;

(iv) No Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof shall be required to make any representation that it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective securities, and all parties to any such assignment shall render customary “big boy” disclaimer letters; and

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Administrative Agent or any Letter of Credit Issuer or Lender to sue or bring an enforcement action relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any such action or proceeding in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral, in any other jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or L/C Participation, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan or L/C Participation under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or L/C Participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or L/C Participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or L/C Participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or L/C Participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 12.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any other Letter of Credit Issuer, any other Lender or any Affiliate (other than any Excluded Affiliate) of any of the foregoing who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and agree to keep such information confidential, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee (other than any Disqualified Institution and any Person that the Borrower has affirmatively declined to provide its consent to the assignment thereof) or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Swap Agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its Affiliates (other than Excluded Affiliates) who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and agree 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 as a result of a breach of this Section or other confidentiality obligation owed by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, (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 Letter of Credit Issuer’s or a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender, as applicable, (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (j) to any rating agency when required by it in the event the Borrower has failed to comply with its obligations under Section 8.14; provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from any Agent or any Lender, (k) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency to the extent required in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans, (l) upon the request or demand of any regulatory or quasi-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or any of its Affiliates, (m) if agreed by the Borrower in its sole discretion, to any other Person or (n) to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders to the extent necessary for the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such disclosure is limited to the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement; provided that, except with respect to any audit or examination by bank accountants or by any governmental bank regulatory authority or other Governmental Authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, each of the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders shall, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, use reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Borrower of disclosure pursuant to clauses (d), (e), (f) or (h), above.
