5

agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, but a modification thereof pursuant to the terms contained herein.

(a)For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the 2021-1 Incremental Term Lender hereto hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to treat) the 2021-1 Incremental Term Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(b)The Borrowers and the Administrative Agent request each Lender to provide the U.S. federal income tax documentation as required under Section 11.14 of the Credit Agreement (including documentation required under Section 11.14(c) of the Credit Agreement to allow the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such

(i)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon (among other things) the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until 30 days prior to the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day), to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of each Borrower, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of each Borrower or any of its Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiaries on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that, on the Closing Date, the aggregate amount of any Existing Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall share ratably participations in such Letters of Credit in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitment (after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension and expiration of any Letter of Credit on the Closing Date); provided, further, that any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of any Restricted Subsidiary of ESI shall be issued naming ESI as the account party on any such Letter of Credit, but such Letter of Credit may contain a statement that it is being issued for the benefit of such Restricted Subsidiary; provided, further, that no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Revolving Credit Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if, as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (w) the amount available to be drawn under Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer would exceed such L/C Issuer’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) the Total Outstandings would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments or (z) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by a Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by a Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the first proviso in the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly each such Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and

58

reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(ii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

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

(B)    subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than 12 months after the date of issuance or last extension (or as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer);

(C)    the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all of the Lenders have approved such expiry date or the L/C Issuer has approved such expiry date and such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized by the applicant requesting such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(g) at least five Business Days prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date;

(D)    the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer;

(E)    except as otherwise agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000;

(F)    any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender or reallocate such risk pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(v); or

(G)    if it is determined that the applicant or the account party or the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit is considered an “affiliate” of L/C Issuer as such term is defined in Regulation W of the Federal Reserve.

(iii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C 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.

(iv) Each L/C 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 L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Agents in

59

Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C 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 “Agents” as used in Article X included the L/C Issuers with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuers.

(b)Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of each Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application and including agreed-upon draft language for such Letter of Credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. at least three Business Days (or such later date and time as the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit to be requested to Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC, such Letter of Credit Application must be received by Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC not later than 1:00 p.m. at least five Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date of date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and requested currency thereof and the absence of specification of currency shall be deemed a request for a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C 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 the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrowers shall furnish to the applicable L/C 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 the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the applicable Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by such L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

60

(iii) If any Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the applicable L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each 12-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such 12-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (or any later date if the Borrowers have agreed to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date for such Letter of Credit); provided, however, that the applicable L/C Issuer (A) shall have no obligation to permit any such extension if such L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), and (B) shall not permit any such extension if it has not received notice (in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility have elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) 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, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c)Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of a compliant drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date immediately following any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (such date, an “Honor Date”), such Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing for a Letter of Credit issued on its behalf. If such Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) must be in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

61

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender (including the Lender acting as the applicable L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to such Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by any Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice) and that the obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall survive termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued to such Borrower, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal

62

Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from any Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the applicable L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share 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 Revolving Credit Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)Obligations Absolute. The obligation of each Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower and to repay each such 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 such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

63

(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;

(iv) any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such L/C 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 any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

(vi) 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 a discharge of, any Borrower.

Any Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of non-compliance with ESI’s instructions or other irregularity, ESI will promptly, upon knowledge, notify the applicable L/C Issuer. ESI shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f)Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not 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 the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such L/C 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 Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment); or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. Each 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, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against such L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such

64

Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment) or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable L/C 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 L/C 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.

(g)Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the applicable L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to 103% of such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be). For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and Section 9.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and such L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving Credit Lenders) or to otherwise backstop (with a letter of credit on customary terms or otherwise) such L/C Obligations to the applicable L/C Issuer’s and the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction. Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts with the Collateral Agent. If at any time the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than 103% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by the Collateral Agent, pay to the Collateral Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the deposit accounts with the Collateral Agent as aforesaid, an amount equal to the excess of (a) 103% of such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer.

(h)Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrowers, when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall be stated therein to apply to each Letter of Credit.

(i)Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable

65

Rate times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, on the Letter of Credit Facility Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(j)Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrowers shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer, for its own account, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit at a rate per annum equal to 0.125% unless as otherwise agreed with such L/C Issuer, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be terminated as provided herein, on the Letter of Credit Facility Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within five Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.

(k)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.

(l)Resignation or Removal of L/C Issuers. Any L/C Issuer may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrowers. Any L/C Issuer may be removed at any time by written agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer; provided that such L/C Issuer shall not be required to execute or deliver any written agreement if such L/C Issuer has no Letters of Credit or reimbursement obligations with respect thereto outstanding. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.03(j). After the resignation or removal of any L/C Issuer hereunder, such L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required, and shall be discharged from its obligations, to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend or increase the amount of Letters of Credit then outstanding.

(m)Additional L/C Issuers. The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, designate one or more additional Revolving Credit Lenders to act as an L/C Issuer under

66

the terms of this Agreement with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Revolving Credit Lender. Any Revolving Credit Lender so designated shall be deemed to be an “L/C Issuer” (in addition to being a Revolving Credit Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Revolving Credit Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, the term “L/C Issuer” shall thereafter apply to the other L/C Issuers and such Revolving Credit Lender. The acceptance of any designation as an L/C Issuer hereunder by a Revolving Credit Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such Revolving Credit Lender, in a form satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Credit Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such Revolving Credit Lender in addition to any other L/C Issuers, as the context shall require.

(i) Except as set forth in clause (ii) below with respect to Revolving Credit Loans and New Term Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Tranche or Tranches of Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (other than as set forth in Section 2.05(a)(iv)); provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (B) one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit I and shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, the Class, Tranche(s) and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid, and if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans (except that if the class of Loans to be prepaid includes both Base Rate Loans and Eurocurrency Rate Loans, absent direction by the Borrowers, the applicable prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount payable by the Borrowers in respect of such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.05). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such notice and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment, if any. If such notice is given by ESI, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

(ii)     Any Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Credit Loans and New Term Loans or any Tranche or Tranches thereof denominated in a currency other than Dollars in whole or in part without premium or penalty (other than as set forth in Section 2.05(a)(iv)); provided that such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. four Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may approve in its reasonable discretion). Each prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans or New Term Loans denominated in a currency

67

other than Dollars that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount that is not less than the Minimum Eurocurrency Borrowing Amount, or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.

(iii)     The Borrowers may voluntarily prepay any Tranche of Term Loans selected by ESI; provided that, other than with respect to any optional prepayment made solely with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 8.02 (including Refinancing Incremental Term Loans), if the Tranche of Term Loans selected by ESI has a final maturity date that is later than the final maturity date of any other Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding, then such optional prepayment shall be made on a pro rata basis among the Tranche of Term Loans selected by ESI and each such other earlier-maturing Tranche of Term Loans. Optional prepayments of any Tranche of Term Loans selected by ESI shall be applied on a pro rata basis in direct order of maturity to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of such Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.07. Optional prepayments of any Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans selected by ESI shall be made on a pro rata basis among the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Tranche.

(iv)    In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six months after the Amendment No. 13 Funding Date, any Borrower (x) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Tranche B-1 Term Loans in connection with a Repricing Transaction (including, for avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction), or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction with respect to the Tranche B-1 Term Loans, as applicable, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term Loan Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Tranche B-1 Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction. As a condition to effectiveness of any assignment pursuant to the parenthetical set forth in the first sentence of Section 11.15 in respect of any amendment of this Agreement effective on or prior to the date that is six months after the Amendment No. 13 Funding Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the applicable non-consenting Term Loan Lender a premium equal to the premium that would apply if such Term Loan Lender’s Tranche B-1 Term Loans being assigned were being prepaid and subject to the premium set forth in this Section 2.05(a) for such Tranche B-1 Term Loans.

(b)Mandatory.   (i) In the event of any termination of any Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrowers shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Tranche and replace all outstanding Letters of Credit and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in a cash collateral account established with the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the manner described in Section 2.03(g). If for any reason the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans of any Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments at any time exceeds the amount of Revolving Credit Commitments of such Tranche then in effect, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Tranche and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i) unless, after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans of the applicable Tranche, the Total Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. Mandatory prepayments of any Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis among the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Tranche.

68

(ii) Not later than the fifth Business Day following the completion of any Asset Sale or Permitted Sale Leaseback Transaction and/or not later than the tenth Business Day following the occurrence of any Recovery Event and, in each case, the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds resulting therefrom by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary, ESI shall apply the Required Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Term Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(vi) provided that such prepayment shall only be required under this clause (ii) if the net amount required to be prepaid in any fiscal year is greater than or equal to $25,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, no prepayments shall be required in connection with the Arysta Sale at any time before or after the Closing Date.

(iii)    In the event that any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of any Indebtedness of any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, that is not permitted pursuant to Section 8.02, the Borrowers shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, apply an amount equal to the Required Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(vi).

(iv)     Commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2019, no later than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of ESI, the Borrowers shall prepay outstanding Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(vi), in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Required Prepayment Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended less the aggregate amount of all Voluntary Prepayments during such fiscal year; provided that such prepayment shall only be required under this clause (iv) if the net amount required to be prepaid in any fiscal year is greater than or equal to $25,000,000.

(v)    ESI shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.05(b), (i) a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three Business Days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) and at least ten Business Days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv) (and, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender). Each notice of prepayment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit I and shall specify the prepayment date, the Class, Tranche and Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be subject to Section 3.05, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

(vi)    Mandatory prepayments under Sections 2.05(b)(ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be applied:

first, to prepay outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof) to the full extent thereof (and the corresponding accrued and unpaid interest and fees on the principal amount of Term Loans so prepaid), subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph (viii) below and any re-offer described therein;

second, at any time when there shall be no Term Loans outstanding,to prepay outstanding Revolving Credit Loans on a pro rata basis among the relevant Tranches of Revolving Credit Loans to the full extent thereof (and the corresponding accrued and

69

unpaid interest and fees on the principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans so prepaid), with no corresponding reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments; and

third, at any time when there shall be no Term Loans outstanding, to Cash Collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit (up to an aggregate amount equal to 103% of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all such Letters of Credit) as described in Section 2.03(g), with no corresponding reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments;

with any remaining amounts being retained by the Borrowers to be used in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(vii)    Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Term Loans under this Agreement shall be applied pro rata against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.07. Such mandatory prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans; provided that if no Lenders decline a given mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans as described below, then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied in the case of the applicable principal amount of such Tranche of the Term Loans being so prepaid, first to Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Term Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Term Loan Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by facsimile at least eight Business Days prior to the applicable prepayment date, to decline all of any prepayment of its Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay such Term Loans but was so declined shall be retained by the Borrowers (such retained amounts, the “Retained Declined Proceeds”) to be used in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(c)Prepayments to Include Accrued Interest, Etc. All prepayments (other than prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) under this Section 2.05 shall be made together with (i) accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount so prepaid and (ii) in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.

2.06    Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a)Optional. ESI may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (provided that such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the receipt of proceeds of any refinancing facilities, the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the consummation of an acquisition or sale, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date if such condition is not satisfied), terminate the unused portion of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the unused Revolving Credit Commitments or the unused Term Loan Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused portion of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the unused Revolving Credit Commitments or the unused Term Loan Commitment; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion), (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any

70

whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the unused portion of the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the unused Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings at any time would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. Optional reductions of the unused Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis among the outstanding Tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments.

(b)Mandatory. (i) Unless previously terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, (1) the Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m. on the Amendment No. 1 Funding Date, (2) the 2021-1 Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m. on the Amendment No. 3 Funding Date, (3) the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (34) the Commitments in respect of any Tranche of New Term Loans shall automatically terminate on the maturity date set forth in the applicable Incremental Amendment or other document reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower(s) and the applicable New Term Loan Lender(s).

(ii)     If after giving effect to any reduction or termination of unused Commitments under this Section 2.06, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

(c)Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the unused Revolving Credit Commitments or the unused Term Loan Commitments under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Revolving Credit Commitments or unused Term Loan Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, of each Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the applicable Facility is reduced. Optional reductions of the unused Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis among the outstanding Tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments. All Commitment Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

(a)Tranche B-1 Term Loans. On the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrowers, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2019September 30, 2021, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Tranche B-1 Term Loan Lenders, a principal amount of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 2.06(b)) equal to 1.001.017811705% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans as of the Amendment No. 13 Funding Date. To the extent not previously paid, prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced, all Tranche B-1 Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Tranche B-1 Term Loan Maturity Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees on the principal amount to be paid up to but excluding the date of payment. All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.07(a) shall be subject to Section 3.05, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

(b)Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the applicable

71

Revolving Credit Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Borrowings outstanding on such date.

2.08    Interest.

(a)Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b) and Section 2.10, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b)If any amount payable by any Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Furthermore, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c)Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09    Fees.

In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(i) and (j):

(a)Commitment Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent (x) for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, (i) a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Revolving Credit Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with and including the Closing Date or ending with but excluding the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the Commitments of such Revolving Credit Lender shall expire or be terminated) (the “Commitment Fee”); provided, however, that any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that the Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrowers prior to such time; provided, further, that no Commitment Fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Initial Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Obligations remain outstanding), including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and to but

72

excluding the last day of the Initial Availability Period (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand). The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of computing the Commitment Fee, Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.

(b)Other Fees. (i) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agents for their own respective accounts such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii)     The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10    Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans in respect of which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.11    Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers so notified shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each such Note shall (i) in the case of Term Loans, be in the form of Exhibit H-1 (a “Term Loan Note”) and (ii) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, be in the form of Exhibit H-2 (a “Revolving Credit Note”). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b)    In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

73

(c)    Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.11(b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.12    Payments Generally.

(a)All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in the relevant currency, as the case may be, and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. may be deemed in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue thereon. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b)(i) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers

74

for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii)     Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d)The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

(e)Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f)The Borrowers hereby authorize each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers’ accounts with such Lender any amount so due.

(g)Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and

75

the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 9.03.

2.13    Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans or any Tranche of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans or any Tranche of Loans made by them and/or such sub-participations in the participations in L/C Obligations held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them (or other share contemplated hereunder); provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) (or other share contemplated hereunder) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrowers agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 11.08) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

2.14    Incremental Facilities.

(a)The Borrowers or any Guarantor or, solely in the case of a New Term Loan Facility denominated in an Alternative Currency, any Restricted Subsidiary that is organized in a jurisdiction that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent (any such Guarantor or Restricted Subsidiary for so long as loans or commitments remain outstanding under the applicable Incremental Facility, an “Additional Borrower”) may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request the establishment of one or more new tranches of term facilities denominated in Dollars, an Alternative Currency or any other currency agreed to by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such New Term Loan Facility (each, a “New Term Loan Facility”) and/or increase the principal amount of the Term Loans, any Incremental Term Loans or any Extended Term Loans by requesting new term loan commitments to be added to such Loans (together with any New Term Loan Facility, an “Incremental Term Facility” and, any Loans made pursuant to an Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or request the establishment of one or more new tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments (each, a “New Revolving Credit Facility”) and/or request an increase in any Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any New Revolving Credit Facility, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with any Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Facilities” and, the loans

thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Credit Loans” and, together with any Incremental Term Loans, “Incremental Loans”); provided that no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Facility, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Facility, in an aggregate amount not in excess of the sum of (x) the greater of (i) $460,000,000 (or a principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of $460,000,000) and (ii) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA as of the last day of the last Test Period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 7.01 at any time outstanding, less any amount of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (x)(i) of Section 8.02(p) and (y) an unlimited amount if, after giving effect to the incurrence of such amount, (i) in case of Incremental Facilities that are secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 on a Pro Forma Basis, (ii) in case of Incremental Facilities that are secured on a junior basis to the Obligations, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 on a Pro Forma Basis and (iii) in case of Incremental Facilities that are unsecured, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 on a Pro Forma Basis (in each case, assuming (A) the Indebtedness being incurred as of such date of determination would be included in the definition of Consolidated Indebtedness, whether or not such Indebtedness would otherwise be included and (B) any Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities are fully drawn) and, in each instance, for an amount not less than $5,000,000 (or a principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000) individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent); provided that Incremental Facilities (1) shall be incurred pursuant to clause (y) above prior to utilization of any capacity pursuant to clause (x) above, (2) amounts incurred in reliance on clause (x) above concurrently with amounts incurred in reliance on clause (y) above shall not be included as Indebtedness in the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as applicable, for purposes of calculating any amounts that may be incurred pursuant to clause (y) above on the same day and (3) if all or any portion of any Incremental Facility was originally incurred or issued in reliance on clause (x) above and thereafter such amount could have been incurred pursuant to clause (y) above, such amount of such Incremental Facility shall be reclassified, as the applicable Borrower may elect from time to time, as having been incurred pursuant to clause (y) above and thereafter shall not count as utilization of clause (x) above; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, (1) Incremental Term Loans may be incurred without regard to any of the foregoing limits to the extent that the Net Cash Proceeds of such Incremental Term Loans are used on or about the date of incurrence to permanently prepay and refinance Term Loans of any Tranche selected by the applicable Borrower on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and any such Incremental Term Loans (the “Refinancing Incremental Term Loans”) shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to this proviso, and (2) New Revolving Credit Facilities may be incurred without regard to the foregoing limits to the extent that such New Revolving Credit Facilities are used on or about the date of incurrence to refinance and permanently reduce Revolving Credit Commitments of any Tranche selected by Borrower on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and any such Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder (the “Refinancing Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”) shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to this proviso. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the applicable Borrower proposes that the applicable Incremental Facility shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), (ii) the identity of each Lender or Affiliate or other Person that is consented to by the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and by the L/C Issuer to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 11.06 for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Affiliate or other Person, a “New Incremental Lender”) to whom the Borrowers propose any portion of such Incremental Facility be allocated and the amounts of such allocations and (iii) whether such Incremental Facility is to be an Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Credit Facility. Such Incremental Facility shall

77

become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (A) no Event of Default or Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Incremental Facility (except that, with respect to this clause (A), solely to the extent the proceeds of such Incremental Facility are being or will be used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction and if agreed to by the lenders providing such Incremental Facility, such condition shall be that no Event of Default under Section 9.01(a), (f) or (g) hereunder shall exist), (B) both before and after giving effect to such Incremental Facility, each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 shall be satisfied and all fees and expenses owing in respect of such increase to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have been paid (except, solely to the extent the proceeds of such Incremental Facility are being or will be used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction and if agreed to by the lenders providing such Incremental Facility, (x) with respect to Section 5.02(a), such Incremental Facility shall only be subject to customary “funds certain provisions” and (y) with respect to Section 5.02(b), such condition shall be that no Event of Default under Section 9.01(a), (f) or (g) hereunder shall exist); (C) any Incremental Facility provided by any New Incremental Lender shall be effected pursuant to one or more joinder agreement (an “Incremental Amendment”) in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and executed and delivered by a Borrower (or Additional Borrower, if applicable) and the Administrative Agent, each of which shall be recorded in the Register; and (D) the Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(b)The creation or provision of any Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan (and, in connection therewith, any amendment to the terms of this Agreement that is necessary or appropriate to implement the provisions thereof or that is favorable to the then-existing Lenders, in each case, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) shall not require the approval of any existing Lender other than any existing Lender providing all or part of any Incremental Commitment.

(c)The terms and provisions of any New Revolving Credit Facility (other than pricing, maturity and fees) shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the joinder agreement set forth in Section 2.14(a), substantially identical to the existing Revolving Credit Facility; provided that, (i) no New Revolving Credit Facility shall mature earlier than, or require any scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of any Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans (or, in the case of Refinancing Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, the final maturity date of the Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments that are being refinanced), (ii) any guarantor of any New Revolving Credit Facility shall also be a Guarantor; provided, that, in the event any New Revolving Credit Facility is incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary of ESI, such New Revolving Credit Facility shall be permitted to be guaranteed by persons that are not Guarantors so long as such New Term Loan Facility is subject to customary collateral allocation arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (iii) if secured, such New Revolving Credit Facility shall not be secured by any assets that do not constitute Collateral and may not be secured pursuant to security documentation that is materially more restrictive, when taken as a whole, to the Loan Parties than the Loan Documents; provided, that, in the event any New Term Loan Facility is incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary of ESI, such New Term Loan Facility shall be permitted to be secured by assets in accordance with Section 7.12, which assets may or may not also secure the Obligations but which shall be subject to customary collateral allocation arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (iv) each New Revolving Credit Facility shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and pari passu or junior with respect to security with the Obligations or

78

may be unsecured (and to the extent subordinated in right of payment or security, shall be subject to intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).

(d)The terms and provisions of any Incremental Term Loans shall be, if such Incremental Term Loans are not Tranche B-1 Term Loans, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the joinder agreement set forth in Section 2.14(a), substantially identical to the Tranche B-1 Term Loans, as applicable; provided that, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the joinder agreement set forth in clause (a), then (i) the weighted average life to maturity of any New Term Loan Facility shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity such refinanced Tranche of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans, (or, in the case of any New Term Loans that are Refinancing Incremental Term Loans, the weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche of Term Loans that are being refinanced), (ii) the final maturity date with respect to any New Term Loans shall be no earlier than the maturity date of such refinanced the Tranche B-1 Term Loans (or, in the case of any New Term Loans that are refinancing Incremental Term Loans, the final maturity date of the Tranche of Term Loans that are being refinanced), (iii) if the Yield on any New Term Loans incurred no later than 12 months after the Closing Date exceeds by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”) the Applicable Rate then in effect for any Term Loans, then the Applicable Rate then in effect for Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the New Term Loans (and if the margins on the New Term Loans are subject to a leveraged-based pricing grid, appropriate increases to the Applicable Rates for the Term Loans, consistent with the foregoing, shall be made) (this clause (iii), the “MFN Adjustment”), (iv) any guarantor of any New Term Loan Facility shall also be a Guarantor; provided, that, in the event any New Term Loan Facility is incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary of ESI, such New Term Loan Facility shall be permitted to be guaranteed by persons that are not Guarantors so long as such New Term Loan Facility is subject to customary collateral allocation arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) if secured, such New Term Loan Facility shall not be secured by any assets that do not constitute Collateral and may not be secured pursuant to security documentation that is more restrictive to the Loan Parties than the Loan Documents; provided, that, in the event any New Term Loan Facility is incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary of ESI, such New Term Loan Facility shall be permitted to be secured by assets in accordance with Section 7.12, which assets may or may not also secure the Obligations but which shall be subject to customary collateral allocation arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) each New Term Loan Facility shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and pari passu or junior with respect to security with the Obligations or may be unsecured (and to the extent subordinated in right of payment or security, shall be subject to intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and (vii) any New Term Loan Facility may be denominated in Euros or Pounds Sterling so long as (A) the borrower thereunder is a Restricted Subsidiary that is organized in a jurisdiction that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (B) such New Term Loan Facility is subject to guarantee, collateral and collateral allocation arrangements that are reasonably satisfactory to ESI and the Administrative Agent. Each joinder agreement referred to in Section 2.14(a) may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, to effect the provision of this Section 2.14.

(e)Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Loans that are to be additional Tranche B-1 Term Loans or Initial Revolving Credit Loans, as

79

applicable, and when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Tranche B-1 Term Loans or Initial Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by requiring each outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loan to be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the date of each such Incremental Loan, or by allocating a portion of each such Incremental Loan to each outstanding applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans on a pro rata basis, even though as a result thereof such Incremental Loan may effectively have a shorter Interest Period than the Loans included in the Borrowing of which they are a part (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that would prohibit such an initial Interest Period). Any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 3.05. If any Incremental Loans is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan then, subject to Section 2.08(b), the interest rate applicable to such Incremental Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period shall equal the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for a period approximately equal to the remainder of such Interest Period (as determined by the Administrative Agent two Business Days before the date such Incremental Loan is made) plus the Applicable Rate then in effect. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are to be additional Tranche B-1 Term Loans, the applicable scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.07 required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans.

(f)Prior to the Increased Amount Date, if the Restricted Subsidiary incurring the Incremental Facility is an Additional Borrower, (i) such Subsidiary shall deliver to the Lenders providing the Incremental Facility (including any New Incremental Lender) and the Administrative Agent, such documentation and other information reasonably requested by such Lenders or the Administrative Agent for purposes of complying with all necessary “know-your-customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations and no written objection submitted by any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days of the date of receipt of such documentation and other information shall have been given by such Lenders or the Administrative Agent and (ii) if such Additional Borrower is a Foreign Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement (which amendments may include, without limitation, Section 3.01 and the definition of “Non-Excluded Taxes”) and the other Loan Documents to include such Subsidiary as an Additional Borrower hereunder, which amendment must be mutually agreed to by the Administrative Agent, ESI, the applicable Additional Borrower, and the Lenders providing the Incremental Facility but without the consent of any other Lender (provided that no such amendment shall materially adversely affect the rights of any Lender that has not consented to such amendment); provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be materially adversely affected by the addition of such Additional Borrower. Any obligations in respect of borrowings by any Borrower or any Additional Borrower under this Agreement will constitute “Obligations” for all purposes of the Loan Documents. If the Incremental Facility is incurred in a currency other than Dollars, this Agreement may be amended to reflect such new currency hereunder, which amendment must be mutually agreed to by the Administrative Agent and ESI.

(g)For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 11.01 shall impose any greater restriction on the ability of any Lender to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder with respect to any New Term Loan Facility without the written consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Term Loan Commitments and New Term Loans outstanding under such New Term Loan Facility

80

(h)Any Incremental Facility that is secured on a junior lien basis to the Obligations or is unsecured shall be established pursuant to separate documentation from the Loan Documents.

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to any Incremental Loans in accordance with this Section 2.14.

For the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment of Loans with the proceeds received in connection with the incurrence of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be deemed an optional prepayment under Section 2.05(a).

2.15    Defaulting Lender. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 11.01.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08 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 such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15(d); fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and ESI, to be held in a 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 the L/C Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.15(d); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the L/C Issuers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowing in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and L/C Exposure are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(v). Any

81

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 this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Subject to Section 11.06(b)(viii) hereof, the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and, to the extent such Defaulting Lender fails to cure the default pursuant to Section 2.15(b) hereof within five Business Days shall entitle the Borrowers to replace the Defaulting Lender with one or more substitute Lenders, and the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. The notice from the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and such Defaulting Lender being replaced shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall be at least two Business Days, but not later than 15 Business Days, after the date such notice is given. Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Defaulting Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Defaulting Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Defaulting Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Defaulting Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 11.15.

(iv) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B)    Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the available amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.15(d).

(C)    With respect to any Letter of Credit Fees not required to be paid to any Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender (as “Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender”) pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender with respect to such Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit that have been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(v) below, (y) pay to each L/C Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(v) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) the Outstanding Amount of each non-Defaulting

82

Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations (with the aggregate amount of each Revolving Credit Lender’s funded participations in L/C Obligations (prior to giving effect to such reallocation) being deemed ‘held’ by such Revolving Credit Lender for this purpose) do not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender. Subject to Section 11.23, no reallocation hereunder 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.

(vi) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (v) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, cash collateralize any L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (v) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15(d) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding.

(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(v)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)    New Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto (determined after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(v) and any cash collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).

(d)    Cash Collateral. (i) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrowers shall cash collateralize such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(v) and any cash collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(ii) The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender, such Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each L/C Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash collateral as security for the Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (iii) below. 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 and such L/C Issuer as herein provided (other than Permitted Liens), or that the

83

total amount of such cash collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers
