(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone or irrevocable written notice by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (iii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under the Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing was made.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the name of the Borrower and the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which Interest Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.09. Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate at 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Effective Date.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower shall repay the Loans in an amount equal to $5,375,000.00 on the last day of each September, December, March and June commencing with December 31, 2017. To the extent not previously repaid, all unpaid Loans shall be paid in full in Dollars by the Borrower on the Maturity Date.

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it to the Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Optional. (i) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.11(a)(i). The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or one or more other events specified therein, 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; provided further that if a notice of prepayment given in connection with the prepayment of a Borrowing states that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or one or more other events specified therein, then 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. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and in such order of application as to the installments due under Section 2.10(a) as directed by the Borrower.

(ii) In the event that, on or prior to the date that is 6 months after the Effective Date, the Borrower (x) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Loans with the proceeds of any new or replacement tranche of long-term secured term loans that have an All-In Yield that is less than the All-In Yield of such Loans or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement which reduces the All-In Yield of the Loans (other than, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), in connection with a Change in Control or a transformative acquisition referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph and other than any such prepayment, refinancing, substitution, replacement or amendment the primary purpose of which was not to reduce the All-In Yield of the Borrower’s long-term debt), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, (A) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans so prepaid and (B) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Loans for

which the All-In Yield has been reduced pursuant to such amendment. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of such prepayment or the effective date of such amendment, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 2.11(a), a “transformative acquisition” is any acquisition (together with any related transaction, including incurrence of indebtedness to finance such acquisition) by the Borrower or any Subsidiary that (i) is not permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition or (ii) if permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition, after which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries would not have adequate flexibility under the Loan Documents for the continuation and/or expansion of their combined operations following such consummation, as determined by the Borrower in good faith.

(b) Mandatory. (i) Excess Cash Flow. Within five Business Days after financial statements have been or are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) and the related certificate of a Financial Officer has been or is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to (A) 50% (such percentage as it may be reduced as described below, the “ECF Percentage”) of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements (commencing with the fiscal year ending on or about November 30, 2018) minus (B) the sum of (i) all voluntary prepayments of Loans during such fiscal year pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) and Section 9.04(e) (it being understood that the amount of any such payment constituting a below-par Permitted Loan Purchase shall be calculated to equal the amount of cash used and not the principal amount deemed prepaid therewith) and (ii) all voluntary prepayments of loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement or any other revolving credit facilities during such fiscal year to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement or any other revolving credit facilities, in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent such prepayments are funded with Internally Generated Cash Flow; provided, that (x) the ECF Percentage shall be 25% if the Secured Leverage Ratio of the Borrower for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than or equal to 4.25:1.00 and greater than 3.75:1.00 and (y) the ECF Percentage shall be 0% if the Secured Leverage Ratio of Borrower for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than or equal to 3.75:1.00.

(ii) Dispositions. If Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receive Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Disposition, Borrower shall prepay on or prior to the date which is five Business Days after the date of receipt of such Net Proceeds, an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Proceeds received; provided, that with respect to any Net Proceeds received with respect to any Prepayment Disposition, at the option of the Borrower and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Proceeds in acquisitions of, or investments in, assets useful for its business within (x) 18 months following receipt of such Net Proceeds or (y) if Borrower enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Proceeds within 18 months following receipt thereof, within the later of such 18 months or 180 days after entry into such commitment, and provided, further, that if any Net Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, or have not been reinvested within the time period set forth above, an amount equal to any such Net Proceeds shall be applied as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.11(b)(ii) within five Business Days after the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in this Section 2.11.

(iii) Proceeds of Indebtedness. If the Borrower or any Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness (A) not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 6.01 or (B) incurred pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five Business Days after the receipt of such Net Proceeds.

(iv) Certain Dispositions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.11(b), (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii) (a “Foreign Disposition”), or Excess Cash Flow attributable to any Foreign Subsidiary are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.11(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable, as reasonably estimated by the Borrower in good faith, or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) to the extent provided herein and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or Excess Cash Flow attributable to any Foreign Subsidiary would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.11(b) and may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary for so long as such material adverse tax consequences shall be deemed to be applicable by the Borrower in good faith.

(c) All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon (together with the fee payable pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(ii), if any) and, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any break funding payments owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to Section 2.16.

(d) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Mandatory prepayments shall be applied to the Loans as directed by Borrower. If no direction is given as to the application of prepayments, such prepayments shall be applied to the amortization payments required by Section 2.10 in direct order of maturity and, thereafter, to the remaining balance of Loans then outstanding.

(e) No Implied Consent. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be construed to constitute the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s consent to any transaction that is not permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender shall have the right to reject its applicable percentage of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(b), in which case the amounts so rejected may be retained by the Borrower.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(b) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for distribution to the Lenders, as applicable. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal and interest of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable thereto as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. Alternative Rate of Interest. (a) If at the time that the Administrative Agent shall seek to determine the LIBOR Screen Rate on the Quotation Day for any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the LIBOR Screen Rate shall not be available for such Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Borrowing for any reason, and the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine that it is not possible to determine the Interpolated Rate (which conclusion shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), then such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing at the Alternate Base Rate.

(b) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for a Loan for the applicable Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority in Interest of the Lenders that the LIBO Rate for a Loan for the applicable Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing for the applicable Interest Period shall be ineffective and, unless repaid, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the applicable Interest Period and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender; or

(iii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other recipient of any payments to be made hereunder to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Person of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Person hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, then the Borrower will pay to such Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the relevant currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes related to the Borrower and imposed on or incurred by the Administrative Agent or a Lender to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Without duplication of the obligations of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17(a) or (b), the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(h) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such

additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

(i) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such amounts were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.17(i).

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time and in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Morgan Stanley Loan Servicing, 1300 Thames Street Wharf, 4th floor, Baltimore, MD 21231, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments denominated in the same currency received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender

receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted hereby. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the relevant Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the relevant Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section; in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or (ii) if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of

any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under the Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time request additional tranches of term loans, or to increase the principal amount of the Loans in minimum increments of $25,000,000 (such additional tranche or increase in Loans, an “Incremental Loan”); provided that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed (i) (x) $300,000,000, minus (y) any incremental revolving commitments established pursuant to the incremental facility fixed dollar basket under the Revolving Credit Agreement, plus (ii) an additional amount, so long as, after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, (x) the pro forma Secured Leverage Ratio does not exceed 4.00:1.00 and (y) the pro forma Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is not less than 2.25:1.00. The Borrower may arrange for any such increase or tranche to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Loans, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”; provided that no Ineligible Institution may be an Augmenting Lender), which agree to participate in such Incremental Loans; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto. Except as set forth above, no consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in such Incremental Loan) shall be required for any Incremental Loans pursuant to this Section 2.20. Incremental Loans created pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no tranche of Incremental Loans shall become effective unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such Incremental Loans, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower) or waived by the Required Lenders; provided that, with respect to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02, to the extent that the proceeds of the Incremental Loans are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other similar permitted investment, with the consent of only the Increasing Lenders and Augmenting Lenders participating in such Incremental Loans, (x) the condition set forth in Section 4.02(b) may be waived (other than with

respect to a Default or Event of Default under Article VII(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j)), and (y) only customary “specified representations” shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of such incurrence (or as of any earlier date referred to therein), and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the organizational power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase.

(b) The Incremental Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the initial Loans, (ii) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date, (iii) shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is shorter than that of the initial Loans, (iv) shall not have borrowers or guarantors that are not Loan Parties, (v) shall not be secured by any assets that do not constitute Collateral, (vi) may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments with the then outstanding Loans, and (viii) except as set forth above and with respect to the All-In Yield below, if not consistent with the terms of the initial Loans, shall be on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that (A) the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Loans maturity after the Maturity Date may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods after the Maturity Date and (B) the Incremental Loans may be priced differently than the initial Loans; provided that in the case of any Incremental Loans incurred within 18 months after the Effective Date, if the All-In Yield of such Incremental Loans exceeds the All-In Yield of the initial Loans by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points, the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin for the initial Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of such Incremental Loans. The Incremental Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or restatement (an “Incremental Amendment”) o this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Increasing Lender participating in such tranche, each Augmenting Lender participating in such tranche, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment 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, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20. Nothing contained in this Section 2.20 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to provide Incremental Loans at any time. In connection with any Incremental Loans pursuant to this Section 2.20, any Augmenting Lender becoming a party hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any Augmenting Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act.

SECTION 2.21. Refinancing Facilities. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Refinancing Loans (the “Refinancing Loans”) to refinance all or a portion of any existing Loans (the “Refinanced Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Refinanced Loans plus any accrued interest, fees, costs and expenses related thereto (including any original issue discount or upfront fees). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Refinancing Loan (which shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000), and (ii) the date on which the applicable Refinancing Loan is to be made available (which shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree)). The Borrower may seek Refinancing Loans from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) or from one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (other than any Ineligible Institution).

(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the incurrence of any Refinancing Loans that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to or immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of the Refinancing Loans, (ii) the terms of the Refinancing Loans shall comply with this Section 2.21 and (iii) substantially concurrently with the incurrence of any Refinancing Loans, 100% of the proceeds thereof shall be applied to repay the Refinanced Loans (including accrued interest, fees and premiums (if any) payable in connection therewith).

(c) The terms of any Refinancing Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the Persons providing the Refinancing Loans (each, a “Refinancing Lender”) and set forth in a Refinancing Amendment; provided that (i) the final maturity date of any Refinancing Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date, (ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Refinancing Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then-existing class of Loans, (iii) the Refinancing Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Loans, (iv) none of the borrower and the guarantors of the Refinancing Loans shall be a Person that is not a Loan Party and the Refinancing Loans shall not be secured by assets that do not constitute Collateral, (v) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premiums applicable to the Refinancing Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Refinancing Lenders, (vi) the Refinancing Loans may share ratably or less than ratably (but not more than ratably) in any mandatory prepayments hereunder and (vii) to the extent the terms of the Refinancing Loans are inconsistent with the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in clause (i) through (vi) above), such terms shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) In connection with any Refinancing Loans, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable Refinancing Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an amendment to this Agreement (which may take the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) (a “Refinancing Amendment”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence such Refinancing Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate (but only to such extent), in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21, including any amendments necessary to establish the applicable Refinancing Loans as a new class or tranche of Loans, and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new class or tranche, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.21.

(e) To the extent of any inconsistency, the terms of this Section 2.21 shall supersede any provision in Section 2.18 or 9.02.

SECTION 2.22. Extended Loans. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an “Extension”) of the Maturity Date of all or any portion of any class of Loans to the extended maturity date specified in such request. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the applicable class of Loans to be extended (the “Extended Loans”) (which shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000), (ii) the date on which such Extension is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than sixty

(60) days after the date of such requested Extension (or such longer or shorter periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree)) and (iii) the relevant class or classes of Loans to which such requested Extension relates. Each Lender of the applicable class shall be offered (an “Extension Offer”) an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender of such class pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans requested to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans of Lenders of the applicable class shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.

(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension and (ii) the terms of such Extended Loans shall comply with Section 2.22(c).

(c) The terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders agreeing to such extension (the “Extending Lenders”) and set forth in an Extension Amendment; provided that (i) the final maturity date of any Extended Loan shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date (ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Extended Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then-existing class of Loans, (iii) the Extended Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security, (iv) none of the borrower and the guarantors of the Extended Loans shall be a Person that is not a Loan Party and the Extended Loans shall not be secured by assets that do not constitute Collateral, (v) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discounts and premiums applicable to any Extended Loan shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Extending Lenders, (vi) the Extended Loans may share ratably or less than ratably (but not more than ratably) in any mandatory prepayments hereunder and (vii) to the extent the terms of the Extended Loans are inconsistent with the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in clause (i) through (vi) above), such terms shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an amendment to this Agreement (which may take the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) (an “Extension Amendment”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extension. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension. Any Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate (but only to such extent), in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Extension, including any amendments necessary to establish Extended Loans as a new class or tranche of Loans and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new class or tranche, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.22).

(e) To the extent of any inconsistency, the terms of this Section 2.22 shall supersede any provision in Section 2.18 or 9.02.

SECTION 2.23. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, for so long as such Lender is a

Defaulting Lender, the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders or a Majority in Interest of Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, this Section 2.23 shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of each Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby.

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers; Subsidiaries. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable) in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. Schedule 3.01 hereto (as supplemented from time to time) identifies (a) each Subsidiary, if such Subsidiary is a Material Subsidiary, the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as the case may be, the percentage of issued and outstanding shares of each class of its capital stock or other equity interests owned by the Borrower and the other Subsidiaries and, if such percentage is not 100% (excluding directors’ qualifying shares as required by law), a description of each class issued and outstanding and (b) each Existing Joint Venture.

The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except (i) filings and registrations necessary to perfect the Liens on the Collateral, if any, granted by the Loan Parties in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and

SECTION 3.11. Disclosure.

The provisions of this Article (other than the sixth paragraph hereof, relating to the resignation and replacement of the Administrative Agent) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the

Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” as used herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding

paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor with the written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such appointment. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further confirms that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

The Lenders and each other Secured Party (by becoming a party hereto or otherwise obtaining the benefit of any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Collateral) irrevocably authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to act as agent with respect to the Collateral under each of the Collateral Documents and to enter into the Loan Documents relating to the Collateral for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties. Each Lender and each other Secured Party (by becoming a party hereto or otherwise obtaining the benefit of any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Collateral) agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where required by the express

terms hereof, a different proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where required by the express terms hereof, a different proportion of the Lenders) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall each have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Secured Parties with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection herewith and with the Loan Documents relating to the Collateral; (ii) execute and deliver each Loan Document relating to the Collateral and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) act as agent for the Secured Parties for purposes stated therein to the extent such action is provided for under the Loan Documents; (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral; (v) take such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created by the Loan Documents, and (vi) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document, exercise all remedies given to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any other Person with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents relating thereto, applicable law, or otherwise.

The Lenders and each other Secured Party (by becoming a party hereto or otherwise obtaining the benefit of any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Collateral) irrevocably authorize (i) any Subsidiary Guarantor to be released from its obligations under any Subsidiary Guaranty as contemplated by Section 9.16 and (ii) the Administrative Agent to acknowledge the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under such Subsidiary Guaranty and take any other actions in connection therewith, in each case in accordance with Section 9.16. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will reaffirm in writing the authorization granted in the immediately preceding sentence.

In addition, the Lenders and each other Secured Party (by becoming a party hereto or otherwise obtaining the benefit of any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Collateral) irrevocably agree that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released or subordinated, as applicable, and hereby irrevocably authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to release or subordinate any such Lien, in each case as contemplated by Section 9.16, and to execute, deliver, and file all documents reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection therewith.

(a) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and subject to paragraph (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, as follows:

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through Electronic Systems, to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

(i) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System.

(ii) Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through an Electronic System. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Except as provided in Sections 2.20, 2.21 and 2.22 with respect to an Incremental Amendment, a Refinancing Amendment and an Extension Amendment, respectively, and subject to clauses (c) and (d) below, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon (except as provided in the definition of “LIBOR Screen Rate” with respect to a change in the underlying index rate), or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii)

postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or the percentage with respect to any Lenders in the definition of the term “Majority in Interest” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (it being understood that, solely with the consent of the parties prescribed by Sections 2.20, 2.21 and 2.22 to be parties to an Incremental Amendment, a Refinancing Amendment and an Extension Amendment, respectively, Incremental Loans, Refinancing Loans and Extended Loans may be included in the determination of Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans are included on the Effective Date), (vi) release the Borrower or all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from, its obligations under Article X or the Subsidiary Guaranty, as applicable, or all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender or (vii) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.02 without the written consent of the Majority in Interest of Lenders (it being understood and agreed that any amendment or waiver of, or any consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement (other than any waiver expressly relating to Section 4.02) or any other Loan Document, including any amendment of any affirmative or negative covenant set forth herein or in any other Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or an Event of Default, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of a condition set forth in Section 4.02 for purposes of this Section 9.02); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to each relevant Loan Document (x) to add one or more credit facilities (in addition to the Incremental Loans, the Refinancing Loans and the Extended Loans pursuant to an Incremental Amendment, a Refinancing Amendment and an Extension Amendment, respectively) to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the initial Loans, Incremental Loans, Refinancing Loans, Extended Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Lenders.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency.

(e) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting

Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received in same day funds on the day of such replacement an amount equal to (1) the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates (and one additional local counsel in each jurisdiction as to which the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (as applicable) reasonably determines local counsel is appropriate, for the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (as applicable), in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) [reserved] and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender (provided that the Borrower’s obligations to pay fees of counsel shall be limited to one counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole and, solely in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all similarly affected Lenders (and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction (and any special counsel reasonably retained by the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole, and solely in the case of any such conflict of interest, one additional local counsel to all similarly affected Lenders taken as a whole, in each such relevant jurisdiction and one additional special counsel to all similarly affected Lenders taken as a whole)), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or

alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective equity holders, Affiliates or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (as applicable) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (it being understood that the Borrower’s failure to pay any such amount shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 15 days after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) the Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of Loans from a Lender to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans of any class, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

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

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, such fee to be paid by either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender or shared between such Lenders;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:

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

“Ineligible Institution” means (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender or its Parent, (c) the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates (except as set forth in Section 9.04(e), below), or (d) a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative

Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loans or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 2.18 or this Section 9.04 to the contrary, any of Borrower or its Subsidiaries may purchase by way of assignment and become an assignee with respect to Loans at any time and from time to time from Lenders in accordance with Section 9.04(a) hereof (each, a “Permitted Loan Purchase”); provided, that, in respect of any Permitted Loan Purchase, (A) no Permitted Loan Purchase shall be made from the proceeds of any extensions of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement, (B) upon consummation of any such Permitted Loan Purchase, the Loans purchased pursuant thereto shall be deemed to be automatically and immediately cancelled and extinguished in accordance with Section 9.04(f), (C) in connection with any such Permitted Loan Purchase, any of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and such Lender that is the assignor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption (and for the avoidance of doubt, (x) shall make the representations and warranties set forth in the Assignment and Assumption

and (y) shall not be required to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(ii)(C)) and shall otherwise comply with the conditions to assignments under this Section 9.04 and (D) no Default or Event of Default would exist immediately after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Permitted Loan Purchase.

(f) Each Permitted Loan Purchase shall, for purposes of this Agreement be deemed to be an automatic and immediate cancellation and extinguishment of such Loans and the Borrower shall, upon consummation of any Permitted Loan Purchase, notify the Administrative Agent that the Register be updated to record such event as if it were a prepayment of such Loans.

(g) Upon the assignment by any Lender of any Loans pursuant to a Permitted Loan Purchase, either (i) the applicable assignee shall make a representation to the Lender making such assignment that it does not possess material non-public information with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that has not been disclosed to such Lender or the Lenders generally or (ii) the applicable assignor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a customary Big Boy Letter.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures

and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan, and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.

SECTION 9.14. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.15. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders and their Affiliates is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its

Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except, in the case of a Lender, those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the Lenders and their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

(a) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party (including its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to the Collateral Documents) and any pledge of Equity Interests in such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Collateral owned by such Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case pursuant to the Collateral Documents, shall automatically be released, upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that, if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to) execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release, including directions to the Collateral Agent to effect any such release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Further, if no Event of Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to), upon the request of the Borrower, release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party (including its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to the Collateral Documents) if such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Material Subsidiary.

(c) At such time as the principal and interest on the Loans, the fees, expenses and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents and the other Obligations (other than Obligations expressly stated to survive such payment and termination) shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments shall have been terminated, the Subsidiary Guaranty and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of each Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder shall automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the Collateral and any other collateral security for the Obligations shall automatically be released, and the Administrative Agent shall direct the Collateral Agent to release such Collateral or other collateral security, from any security interest or Lien created by the Loan Documents (i) upon the Disposition of such Collateral to any Person other than a Loan Party pursuant to a transaction not restricted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent of a transaction otherwise prohibited hereby) (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it

by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (ii) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (except in the case of a release of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in connection with a transaction not restricted by Sections 6.03), which release shall require the written consent of all Lenders), (iii) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.16, or (iv) as expressly provided in any Collateral Document; and the Administrative Agent shall then deliver to the Loan Parties all Collateral and any other collateral held under the Loan Documents and related documents in the custody or possession of such Person and, if reasonably requested by any Loan Party, shall execute and deliver (to the extent applicable) to such Loan Party for filing in each office in which any financing statement relative to such collateral, or any part thereof, shall have been filed, a termination statement under the Uniform Commercial Code or like statute in any other jurisdiction releasing or evidencing the release of the Administrative Agent’s interest therein, and such other documents and instruments as any Loan Party may reasonably request at the cost and expense of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it at the reasonable request of a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 9.16(d).

SECTION 9.17. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

SECTION 9.18. Intercreditor Agreement. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement and the Lenders acknowledge that any such intercreditor agreement shall be binding upon the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents are expressly subject to

the Intercreditor Agreement (if in effect) and any other intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant hereto and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the Intercreditor Agreement (if in effect) and any other intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant hereto is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement (if in effect) and any other intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant hereto. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (if in effect) or any other such intercreditor agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (if in effect) or such other intercreditor agreement, as applicable, shall govern.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

THIS GUARANTY (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”) is made as of October [●], 2017, by and among each of the undersigned (the “Initial Guarantors” and along with any additional Subsidiaries of the Borrower which become parties to this Guaranty by executing a supplement hereto (a “Guaranty Supplement”) in the form attached as Annex I, the “Guarantors”) in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Holders of Obligations (as defined below), under the Credit Agreement referred to below.

WHEREAS, H.B. FULLER COMPANY, a Minnesota corporation (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”), and MORGAN STANLEY SENIOR FUNDING, INC., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for itself and the other Lenders, have entered into that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of October [●], 2017 (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented and/or restated, and as in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), providing, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for extensions of credit and other financial accommodations to be made by the Lenders to the Borrower;

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the initial extensions of credit by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement that each of the Guarantors (constituting all of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower required to execute this Guaranty pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement) execute and deliver this Guaranty, whereby each of the Guarantors, with full recourse, shall guarantee the payment when due of all Obligations, including, without limitation, all principal, interest and other amounts that shall be at any time payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and

WHEREAS, in consideration of the direct and indirect financial and other support and benefits that the Borrower has provided, and such direct and indirect financial and other support and benefits as the Borrower may in the future provide, to the Guarantors, and in consideration of the increased ability of each Guarantor that is a Subsidiary of the Borrower to receive funds through contributions to capital, and for each Guarantor to receive funds through intercompany advances or otherwise, from funds provided to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the flexibility provided by the Credit Agreement for each Guarantor to do so which significantly facilitates the business operations of the Borrower and each Guarantor, and in order to induce the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into the Credit Agreement, and to make the Loans and the other financial accommodations to the Borrower described in the Credit Agreement, each of the Guarantors is willing to guarantee the Obligations of the Borrower;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein have, as used herein, the respective meanings provided for therein.

SECTION 2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each of the Guarantors represents and warrants (which representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been renewed at the time of the making, conversion or continuation of any Loan or upon the occurrence of any Credit Event) that:

(A) It is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company duly and properly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except to the extent that the failure to have such authority could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(B) It (to the extent applicable) has the requisite power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery by each Guarantor of this Guaranty and the performance by each of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by proper proceedings, and this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, respectively, enforceable against such Guarantor, respectively, in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

(C) Neither the execution and delivery by it of this Guaranty, nor the consummation by it of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance by it with the provisions hereof will (i) violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on it or its articles or certificate of incorporation (or equivalent charter documents), limited liability company or partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or operating agreement or other management agreement, as the case may be, or the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which any of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its property, is bound, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default under, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on its property pursuant to the terms of, any such indenture, instrument or agreement (other than any Loan Document). No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by it, is required to be obtained by it in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by it of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability against it of, this Guaranty.

(D) It has no Indebtedness other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement.

In addition to the foregoing, each of the Guarantors covenants that, so long as any Lender has any Commitment or Loan outstanding under the Credit Agreement or any amount payable under the Credit Agreement or any other Guaranteed Obligations shall remain unpaid, it will, and, if necessary, will enable each of the Borrower to, fully comply with those covenants and agreements of the Borrower applicable to such Guarantor set forth in the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 3. The Guaranty. Each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, the full and punctual payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations, including, without limitation, (i) the principal of and interest on each Loan made to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (ii) all other amounts payable by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) the punctual and faithful performance, keeping, observance, and fulfillment by the Borrower of all of the agreements, conditions, covenants, and obligations of the Borrower contained in the Loan Documents (all of the foregoing being referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Obligations” and the holders from time to time of the Guaranteed Obligations being referred to collectively as the “Holders of Obligations”). Upon (x) the failure by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, to pay punctually any such amount or perform such obligation, and (y) such failure continuing beyond any applicable grace or notice and cure period, each of the Guarantors agrees that it shall forthwith on demand pay such amount or perform such obligation at the place and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement or the relevant Loan Document, as the case may be. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that this Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment and is not a guaranty of collection.

Each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify the Holders of Obligations immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability they incur as a result of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by such Guarantor under this Guaranty on the date when it would have been due (but so that the amount payable by each Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount which it would have had to pay under this Guaranty if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guaranty).

SECTION 4. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(A) any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, waiver or release of or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether (in any such case) by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(B) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any such amendment which may increase the amount of, or the interest rates applicable to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby;

(C) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations;

(D) any change in the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any of their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(E) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantors may have at any time against the Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Holder of Obligations or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(F) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation of any jurisdiction purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise affecting any term of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(G) the failure of the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any;

(H) the election by, or on behalf of, any one or more of the Holders of Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. 101 et seq.) (or any successor statute, the “Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal, state, provincial, municipal, local or foreign law relating to such matters;

(I) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrower, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal, state, provincial, municipal, local or foreign law relating to such matters;

(J) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal, state, provincial, municipal, local or foreign law relating to such matters, of all or any portion of the claims of the Holders of Obligations or the Administrative Agent for repayment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(K) the failure of any other guarantor to sign or become party to this Guaranty or any amendment, change, or reaffirmation hereof; or

(L) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Holder of Obligations or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or otherwise reduce, release, prejudice or extinguish its liability under this Guaranty except as provided in Section 5.

SECTION 5. Continuing Guarantee; Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full: Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. Each of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall constitute a continuing and irrevocable guarantee of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments shall have terminated or expired, at which time, subject to all the foregoing conditions, the guarantees made hereunder shall automatically terminate. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by the Borrower or any other party under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded, or is or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Holder of Obligations in its discretion), each of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be due and payable in the same currency as such Guaranteed Obligation is denominated but if currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result such currency (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the relevant Guarantor is not able to make payment in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by such Guarantor hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of payment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that each Guarantor takes all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.

(A) General Waivers. Each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand or action on delinquency, protest, the benefit of any statutes of limitations and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein or under the other Loan Documents, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person.

(B) Additional Waivers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Guarantors hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives:

(i) any right it may have to revoke this Guaranty as to future indebtedness or notice of acceptance hereof;

(ii) (a) notice of acceptance hereof; (b) notice of any Loans or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject, however, to each Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of the Administrative Agent and Holders of Obligations to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time; (d) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (e) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Loan Documents; (f) notice of any Default or Event of Default; and (g) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such Guarantor hereunder or under the Loan Documents) and demands to which each Guarantor might otherwise be entitled;

(iii) its right, if any, to require the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Obligations to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Obligations has or may have against, the other Guarantors or any third party, or against any collateral provided by the other Guarantors, or any third party; and each Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash) of the other Guarantors or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Guarantors in respect thereof;

(iv) (a) any rights to assert against the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Obligations any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against the other Guarantors or any other party liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Obligations; (b) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; (c) any defense such Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any right such Guarantor has to be exonerated, arising by reason of: the impairment or suspension of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Holders of Obligations’ rights or remedies against the other Guarantors; the alteration by the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Obligations of the Guaranteed Obligations; any discharge of the other Guarantors’ obligations to the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Obligations by operation of law as a result of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Holders of Obligations’ intervention or omission; or the acceptance by the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Obligations of anything in partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (d) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; and

(v) any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (a) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Obligations; or (b) any election by the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Obligations under the Bankruptcy Code, to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against the Guarantors.

SECTION 7. Subordination of Subrogation; Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness.

(A) Subordination of Subrogation. Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash, the Guarantors (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to such Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which the Holders of Obligations or the Administrative Agent now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, and the Guarantors waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Holders of Obligations and the Administrative Agent to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of the Borrower to the Holders of Obligations or the Administrative Agent. Should any Guarantor have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to exercise its subrogation rights, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably (A) subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off that such Guarantor may have to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and (B) waives any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Obligations and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty, and that the Administrative Agent, the other Holders of Obligations and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 7(A).

(B) Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Guarantor agrees that any and all claims of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor hereunder (each an “Obligor”) with respect to any “Intercompany Indebtedness” (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any of its properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Guarantor may receive payments of principal, interest and other amounts from any Obligor with respect to Intercompany Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any right of any Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security interests of such Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other Obligor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Holders of Obligations and the Administrative Agent in those assets. No Guarantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied (in cash) and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document have been terminated. If all or any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Obligor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or

proceeding, or if the business of any such Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of any Obligor to any Guarantor (“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or to become due, until such Guaranteed Obligations shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the applicable Guarantor upon or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness after any Insolvency Event and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrower and the Holders of Obligations, such Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Obligations and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of Obligations, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Guarantor as the property of the Holders of Obligations. If any such Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Guarantor agrees that, except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than the contingent indemnity obligations) have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrower and the Holders of Obligations have been terminated, no Guarantor will assign or transfer to any Person (other than the Administrative Agent) any claim any such Guarantor has or may have against any Obligor

(A) To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment under this Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Guarantor if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations, and all Commitments have terminated or expired, and termination of the Credit Agreement such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

(B) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions.

(C) This Section 8 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 8 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty.

(D) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

(E) The rights of the indemnifying Guarantors against other Guarantors under this Section 8 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in cash and the termination or expiry, on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, of the Commitments, and the termination of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 9. Limitation of Guaranty. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Guarantor may have under this Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account.

SECTION 10. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, any counterparty to any other Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by each of the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 11. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be given in the manner prescribed in Article IX of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Administrative Agent at its notice address therein and with respect to any Guarantor, in care of the Borrower at the address of the Borrower set forth in the Credit Agreement or such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for such purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of such Article IX of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 12. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any other Holder of Obligations in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 13. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Obligations and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, that no Guarantor shall have any right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of the Administrative Agent, and any such assignment in violation of this Section 13 shall be null and void; and in the event of an assignment of any amounts payable under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents in accordance with the respective terms thereof, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each of the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 14. Changes in Writing. Other than in connection with the addition of additional Subsidiaries, which become parties hereto by executing a Guaranty Supplement hereto in the form attached as Annex I, neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only in writing signed by each of the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 15. GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(A) CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY GUARANTOR AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK.

(C) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER AND FURTHER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATED TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN SUCH ACTION.

(D) TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY GUARANTOR HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER FROM SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OF A JUDGMENT, EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE), EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS GUARANTY.

SECTION 17. No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Guaranty. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Guaranty shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Guaranty.

SECTION 23. Headings. Section headings in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and shall not govern the interpretation of any provision of this Guaranty.

SECTION 24. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Guarantor hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of each Guarantor in respect of any sum due hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by any Holder of Obligations (including the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Holder of Obligations (including the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Holder of Obligations (including the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, in the specified currency, each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Holder of Obligations (including the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Holder of Obligations (including the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) amounts shared with other Holders of Obligations as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such other Holder of Obligations under Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement, such Holder of Obligations (including the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, agrees, by accepting the benefits hereof, to remit such excess to such Guarantor.

consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights at the discretion of the Collateral Agent. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, (i) each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06 and (ii) the obligations of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06 shall be reinstated.

(xvi) all Commercial Tort Claims described on Schedule 10 to the Perfection Certificate or any Perfection Certificate Supplement; and

(xvii) all Proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing and all Supporting Obligations, collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing;

provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in (and the terms “Collateral” and “Article 9 Collateral” shall not include) any Excluded Property.

(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements (including Fixture filings with respect to any Fixtures associated with Material Real Property that is subject to a Mortgage) with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor, whether now owned, or hereafter acquired by or arising in favor of” or words of similar effect as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or the analogous legislation of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including (x) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and, if required, any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor and (y) in the case of a financing statement filed as a Fixture filing, a sufficient description of the Material Real Property subject to a Mortgage to which such Article 9 Collateral relates. Each Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon any reasonable request. The Collateral Agent shall provide reasonable written notice to the Company of all such filings made by the Collateral Agent on or about the Effective Date, and, reasonably promptly thereafter, any subsequent filings or amendments, supplements or terminations of existing filings, made from time to time thereafter and, in each case, shall, upon the reasonable request of the Company, provide to the Company file-stamped copies thereof within a reasonable time following receipt thereof.

(c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral.

(d) The Collateral Agent is authorized to file with the USPTO or the USCO (or any successor office) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interest in United States Intellectual Property granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor, and naming the applicable Grantor or Grantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party. The Collateral Agent shall provide reasonable written notice to the Borrower of all such filings made by the Collateral Agent on or about the Effective Date and, reasonably promptly thereafter, any subsequent filings or amendments, supplements or terminations of existing filings, made from time to time thereafter.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, none of the Grantors shall be required to perfect the Security Interests granted by this Agreement (including Security Interests in Investment Property and Fixtures) by any means other than by (i) filings pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the relevant State(s), (ii) filings in USPTO or the USCO, as applicable, with respect to Intellectual Property as expressly required elsewhere herein, (iii) delivery to the Collateral Agent to be held in its possession of all Collateral consisting of Pledged Securities as expressly required elsewhere herein or in the Credit Agreement and (iv) Fixture filings in the applicable real estate records with respect to any Fixtures associated with Material Real Property that is subject to a Mortgage. No Grantor shall be required to establish the Collateral Agent’s “control” over any Collateral other than the Collateral consisting of Pledged Securities as provided in Section 2.02.

(f) Each Grantor (or the Company, in place of any Grantor) shall pay any applicable filing fees, recordation fees and related expenses relating to its Article 9 Collateral or any Fixture filings with respect to any Fixtures associated with Material Real Property that is subject to a Mortgage, in each case, in accordance with Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 3.02. Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that:

(a) Subject to Liens not prohibited by Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, such Grantor has good and valid rights in and title to the Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder.

(b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Grantor that is party hereto and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Grantor, enforceable against such Grantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law).

(c) The Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations prepared by the Collateral Agent based upon the information provided to the Collateral Agent in the Perfection Certificate for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office specified in Schedule 4 to the Perfection Certificate (or specified by written notice from the Company to the Collateral Agent after the Effective Date in the case of filings, recordings or registrations required by the Credit Agreement after the Effective Date), are all the filings, recordings and registrations (other than filings required to be made in the USPTO and the USCO in order to perfect the Security Interest in Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Copyright Licenses) that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the

Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration of a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement or intellectual property filing in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof), and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording , rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements and amendments.

(d) Each Grantor represents and warrants on the Effective Date that short-form Intellectual Property Security Agreements containing a description of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States Patents, United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration applications are pending, unless it constitutes Excluded Property) and United States registered Copyrights, respectively, have been or on or promptly after the Effective Date shall be executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent for recording by the USPTO and the USCO pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, as may be necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of registrations and applications for United States Patents, Trademarks (except pending Trademark applications that constitute Excluded Property), Copyrights to the extent a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the USPTO or the USCO, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary (other than (i) such filings and actions as are necessary to perfect the Security Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of registrations and applications for United States Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights acquired or developed by any Grantor after the date hereof, and (ii) the UCC financing and continuation statements and amendments contemplated in Section 3.02(c)).

(e) The Security Interest constitutes a valid security interest in the Article 9 Collateral, and (i) when all appropriate filings, recordings, registrations and/or notifications are made (and all other actions are taken as may be necessary in connection therewith (including payment of any applicable filing and recording taxes)) as may be required under applicable law to perfect the Security Interest and (ii) upon the taking of possession or control by the Collateral Agent of such Article 9 Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control (which possession or control shall be given to the Collateral Agent to the extent required by this Agreement (except, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent otherwise required by the Intercreditor Agreement)), the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral with respect to which such actions have been taken shall be perfected and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than Liens not prohibited by Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement and subject to any limitations or exclusions from the requirement to perfect the security interests and Liens on the Collateral described herein or in the Credit Agreement.

(f) The Grantors own, and have rights in, the Article 9 Collateral free and clear of any Lien, except for Liens not prohibited by Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, none of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the New York UCC or any other applicable laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with the USPTO or the USCO or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case to the extent the Lien or security interest evidenced thereby is not prohibited by the Credit Agreement.

(a) Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including Fixture filings with respect to Fixtures associated with any Material Real Property that is subject to a Mortgage) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement.

(b) At its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and within a reasonable period of time after the Collateral Agent has requested in writing that the Company do so. Any and all reasonable amounts so expended by the Collateral Agent shall be reimbursed by the Grantors within fifteen (15) days after demand for any payment made in respect of such amounts that are due and payable or any reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization in accordance with Section 5.03; provided, however, that the Grantors shall not be obligated to reimburse the Collateral Agent with respect to any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral which any Grantor has abandoned or failed to maintain or pursue, or otherwise allowed to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, in accordance with Section 3.03(c)(iii). Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(i) In the event that any Grantor, either directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, (A) files an application for the registration of (or otherwise becomes the owner of) any Patent, Trademark, Copyright or Copyright License with the USPTO or the USCO or (B) acquires any registration or application for registration of any United States Patent, Trademark, Copyright or Copyright License, such Grantor will, no later than the next date on which a compliance certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Credit Agreement (or, if earlier, the date on which such compliance certificate is actually delivered to the Collateral Agent) or such later date as to which the Collateral Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), provide the Collateral Agent written notice thereof, and, upon request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver any and all Intellectual Property Security Agreements as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in such Patent, Trademark, Copyright or Copyright License, and the general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby (other than, in each case, to the extent constituting Excluded Property).

(ii) Other than to the extent permitted herein or in the Credit Agreement or with respect to registrations and applications no longer material, used or useful, and except to the extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the Company in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect to registration or pending application of each item of its Intellectual Property included in the Article 9 Collateral for which such Grantor has standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the USPTO, the USCO and any other Governmental Authority located in the United States, to pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, Copyright or Copyright License registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Article 9 Collateral of such Grantor.

(iii) Other than to the extent permitted herein or in the Credit Agreement, or with respect to registrations and applications no longer material, used or useful, or except as would not, as deemed by the Company in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property included in the Article 9 Collateral may lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in the case of a trade secret, becomes publicly known).

(iv) Other than as excluded or as permitted herein or in the Credit Agreement, or with respect to Patents, Copyrights or Trademarks which are no longer material, used or useful in the Grantor’s business operations or except where failure to do so would not, as deemed by the Company in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property included in the Article 9 Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to standards of quality.

(v) Notwithstanding clauses (i) through (iv) above, nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document prevents any Grantor from Disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise allowing to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Intellectual Property included in the Article 9 Collateral to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement.

(d) Except to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall, upon request of the Collateral Agent, at its own expense, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title and rights to the Article 9 Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent in the Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable (as between itself and any relevant counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

Section 3.04. Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Liens granted hereunder in Restricted Property to secure any Obligations (other than any Permitted Mortgages) shall not secure such Obligations to the extent that (a) the amount of such Obligations, together with the amount of all other CNTA Covered Indebtedness, would at any time exceed the CNTA Limit; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, only such excess amount shall not be secured by such Liens, or (b) the grant of such Liens would otherwise require any notes issued pursuant to the 2017 Indenture to be equally and ratably secured with the Obligations. As used herein, “Restricted Property” means, with respect to any Obligations, (i) any shares of stock of any Subsidiary constituting a 2017 Indenture Restricted Subsidiary when such Obligations are incurred, (ii) any debt owed to the Borrower by any Subsidiary constituting a 2017 Indenture Restricted Subsidiary when such Obligations are incurred, and (iii) any assets constituting a Principal Property when such Obligations are incurred.

Section 4.01. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Obligations under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law and also may (a) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent promptly, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be reasonably designated by the Collateral Agent; (b) enter into any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with written notice thereof prior to such occupancy; (c) with respect to any of the Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, exercise the remedies set forth in Section 4.03; (d) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with written notice thereof prior to such exercise; and (e) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors and the Company ten (10) Business Days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on

a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or a portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or a portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in the event that any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

(a) Upon the exercise of remedies as set forth in Article VII of the Credit Agreement and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including amounts payable under Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 of the Credit Agreement) payable under the Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts owing to them;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including amounts payable under Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 of the Credit Agreement) payable to the Lenders, ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and Borrowings, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third held by them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and Borrowings, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

Fifth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties that are due and payable to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, as directed by the Company or as otherwise required by law.

(b) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, monies or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

(c) In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 4.02, the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively upon information supplied to or by the Collateral Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Obligations, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Collateral Agent of any amounts distributed to it.

Section 4.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property; Power of Attorney. For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license (until the termination or cure of the Event of Default) to use, license or, to the extent permitted under the terms of the relevant license, sublicense any of the Intellectual Property included in the Article 9 Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that all of the foregoing rights of the Collateral Agent to operate such license, sublicense and other rights shall expire immediately upon the termination or cure of all Events of

Default and shall be exercised by the Collateral Agent solely during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, and nothing in this Section 4.03 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any applicable law, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, with respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the relevant Grantor; provided, further, that such licenses granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks. Furthermore, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an absolute power of attorney to sign, subject only to the giving of ten (10) days’ written notice to the Grantor and the Company, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any document which may be required by the USPTO or the USCO in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in each registration and application for a Patent, Trademark, Copyright or Copyright License, and to record the same.

Section 5.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor other than the Company shall be given to it in care of the Company as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 5.02. Waivers; Amendment; Several Agreement. (a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 5.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion may grant extensions of time for the creation or perfection of security interests in, or taking other actions with respect to, particular assets or any other compliance with the requirements of this Agreement where it reasonably determines in writing, in consultation with the Company, that the creation or

perfection of security interests in or taking other actions, or any other compliance with the requirements of this definition cannot be accomplished without undue delay, burden or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement.

(c) This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented (including by the addition of a Grantor pursuant to a Security Agreement Supplement), waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

Section 5.03. Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder (including without limitation disbursements of the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 5.14) and indemnity for its actions in connection herewith to the extent provided in Sections 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 5.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.

Section 5.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, to the extent permitted under Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 5.05. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors in this Agreement and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.12(a).

Section 5.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding, without the consent of any other party, upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns permitted thereby, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns permitted thereby, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or

obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as permitted by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (it being understood that a merger or consolidation not prohibited by the Credit Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or transfer).

Section 5.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 5.08. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Service of Process. (a) THE TERMS OF SECTION 9.09 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO GOVERNING LAW, SUBMISSION OF JURISDICTION AND VENUE ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE, MUTATIS MUTANDIS, AND THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE TO SUCH TERMS.

The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder or of any other Person. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

Section 5.14. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable for the term hereof and coupled with an interest. The foregoing appointment shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement (or, with respect to any Grantor released from its obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 5.12 before termination of this Agreement, upon such release of such Grantor) and the Security Interest granted hereunder pursuant to Section 5.12(a). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and written notice by the Collateral Agent to the Company of its intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor, (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent; (h) to make, settle and adjust claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, including endorsing the name of any Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance, making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance required by Section 5.05 of the Credit Agreement or paying any premium in whole or in part relating thereto; and (i) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do

all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. Anything in this Section 5.14 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the appointment provided for in this Section 5.14 unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein. No Agent Party shall be liable in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 5.15. General Authority of the Collateral Agent. By acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the Collateral Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Collateral Documents, (b) to confirm that the Collateral Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and such other Collateral Documents against any Grantor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or thereunder relating to any Collateral or any Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document against any Grantor, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents.

Section 5.16. Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially similar to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property.

Section 5.17. Mortgages. In the event that any of the Collateral hereunder is also subject to a valid and enforceable Lien under the terms of a Mortgage and the terms thereof are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then with respect to such Collateral, the terms of such Mortgage shall control in the case of Fixtures, and the terms of this Agreement shall control in the case of all other Collateral.

Section 5.18. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any other Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Company or any other Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

Section 5.19. Miscellaneous. (a) The Collateral Agent may execute any of the powers granted under this Agreement and perform any duty hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received a notice of Event of Default or a notice from the Grantor or the Secured Parties to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent indicating that an Event of Default has occurred. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation either prior to or after receiving such notice to inquire whether an Event of Default has, in fact, occurred and shall be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any notice so furnished to it.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Mortgagor further represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows:

1. Payment of Mortgagor Obligations. Mortgagor shall pay and perform the Obligations at the times and places and in the manner specified in the Loan Documents.

2. Covenants from Other Loan Documents. All of the covenants and agreements of Mortgagor contained in the Loan Documents are incorporated herein by reference; provided, however, notices made by Mortgagor pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed delivered hereunder.

3. Lien Law Compliance. Mortgagor shall preserve and protect the lien and security interest status, subject to Liens not prohibited by Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, of this Mortgage.

4. Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds. Mortgagor assigns all awards and compensation to which it is entitled for any condemnation, eminent domain or other taking, or any purchase in lieu thereof, to Mortgagee and authorizes Mortgagee to collect and receive such awards and compensation and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor, in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the terms of the Credit Agreement. In accordance with, and to the extent required by, the terms of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor assigns to Mortgagee all proceeds of any insurance policies insuring against loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. In accordance with, and

to the extent required by, the terms of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee to collect and receive such proceeds and authorizes and directs the issuer of each such insurance policies to make payment for all such losses directly to Mortgagee, instead of to Mortgagor and Mortgagee jointly, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

5. Casualty Events. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any Casualty Event (as hereinafter defined). As used herein, “Casualty Event” means any loss of title (other than through a consensual conveyance, sale, lease, sublease, exclusive license, exclusive sublicense, assignment, transfer, exchange or other disposition of the Mortgaged Property) or any material loss of or damage to or destruction of, or any condemnation or other taking (including by any governmental authority) of, the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, the temporary requisition of the use or occupancy of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof by any governmental authority, or any settlement in lieu thereof.

6. Due on Sale. Mortgagor shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein except as permitted by the Credit Agreement.

7. Mortgagee’s Rights of Cure. At its option, Mortgagee may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Mortgaged Property and not permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Mortgaged Property to the extent Mortgagor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement, this Mortgage or any other Loan Document and within a reasonable period of time after Mortgagee has requested in writing that Mortgagor do so. Any and all reasonable amounts so expended by Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 7 shall be reimbursed by Mortgagor within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand for any payment made in respect of such amounts that are due and payable or any reasonable expense incurred by Mortgagee pursuant to the foregoing authorization in accordance with Section 5.03 of the Security Agreement. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing Mortgagor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on Mortgagee or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of Mortgagor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. If, at the time Mortgagee elects to so cure or perform such covenants or other promises of Mortgagor pursuant to this Section 7, Mortgagee shall hold any insurance or condemnation proceeds or other sums pursuant to this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, and Mortgagee may, at its option and upon written notice to Mortgagor, apply such funds pursuant to this Section 7, in such order as it deems appropriate, to the payment of all costs of such cure, notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained in the Loan Documents, in lieu of advancing its own funds for such purpose. If Mortgagee has advanced its own funds to so cure or perform such covenants or other promises of Mortgagor, Mortgagee shall have the right, at any time that any such advances remain unpaid, without notice to Mortgagor, to apply any proceeds, escrows or other sums then held by Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained in the Loan Documents, to the payment of such advances and all outstanding and unpaid interest, if any, thereon. Upon demand by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall promptly replenish the amount of any proceeds, escrows or other sums so applied by Mortgagee so that Mortgagee shall thereafter hold the same amount of proceeds, escrows and other sums which Mortgagee would have held but for the exercise of the rights granted to Mortgagee in this Section 7.

8. Future Advances. Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, make such additional advances and readvances to Mortgagor from time to time and said advances and readvances shall become part of the Obligations secured hereby to the fullest extent permitted by law and to the same extent and with the same priority of lien as if such future advances and readvances were made on the effective date of the Credit Agreement.

(a) The parties hereto agree that Mortgagee shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder and indemnity for its actions in connection herewith as provided in Sections 9.03 of the Credit Agreement; provided that each reference therein to a “Borrower” shall be deemed to be a reference to a “Mortgagor”.

(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 9 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of Mortgagee or any other Secured Party.

10. After-Acquired Property. Any greater or additional estate in the Mortgaged Property which is hereafter acquired by Mortgagor which, by the terms hereof, is required or intended to be subjected to the lien of this Mortgage shall, immediately upon the acquisition thereof by Mortgagor, and without any further mortgage, conveyance, assignment or transfer, become subject to the lien of this Mortgage.

(a) Without limiting the generality of any provision of this Mortgage, if a proceeding under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (as amended, the “Bankruptcy Code”) is commenced by or against Mortgagor, then, pursuant to Section 552(b)(2) of said Bankruptcy Code, the security interest granted by this Mortgage shall automatically extend to all Rents acquired by Mortgagor after the commencement of the case and such Rents shall constitute cash collateral under Section 363(a) of said Bankruptcy Code.

(b) During the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to file, in its own name or on behalf of Mortgagor, any proof of claim or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding in which the debtor is a lessee under a Lease or a guarantor thereof.

12. Appointment of Receiver. Mortgagee, in any action to foreclose this Mortgage, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be at liberty, but under no obligation, to apply for the appointment of a receiver of the rents and profits and the

Premises without notice, and Mortgagee shall be entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the appointment of such receiver as a matter of right, without consideration of the value of the Premises as security for the amounts due Mortgagee or the solvency of any person or corporation liable for the payment of such amounts.

13. Right of Entry. On demand during the continuation of an Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee, personally or by its agents and attorneys, may enter upon the Premises, and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and servants wholly therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise, and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and all other items constituting the Premises, and Mortgagor agrees to surrender possession of the Premises including such books, records and accounts to Mortgagee; and having and holding the same may use, operate, manage, preserve, control and otherwise deal therewith and conduct the business thereof, either personally or by its superintendents, managers, agents, servants, attorneys or receivers, without interference from Mortgagor; and upon each such entry and from time to time thereafter may, at the expense of Mortgagor, without interference by Mortgagor and as Mortgagee may deem advisable, (i) maintain, restore and keep secure the Premises, (ii) insure or reinsure the Premises, (iii) make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and (iv) in every such case in connection with the foregoing have the right to exercise all rights and powers of Mortgagor with respect to the Premises, either in Mortgagor’s name or otherwise; and Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income of the Premises and every part thereof; and in furtherance of such right Mortgagee may, subject as above stated, collect the rents payable under all leases of the Premises directly from the lessees thereunder upon notice to each such lessee that an Event of Default exists accompanied by a demand on such lessee for the payment to Mortgagee of all rents due and to become due under its lease in accordance with this Mortgage, and Mortgagor for the benefit of Mortgagee and each such lessee, hereby covenants and agrees that such lessee shall be under no duty to question the accuracy of Mortgagee’s statement of Event of Default and shall unequivocally be authorized to pay said rents to Mortgagee without regard to the truth of Mortgagee’s statement of Event of Default and notwithstanding notices from Mortgagor disputing the existence of an Event of Default, with the result that the payment of rent by such lessee to Mortgagee pursuant to such demand shall constitute performance in full of such lessee’s obligation under its lease for the payment of rents by such lessee to Mortgagor; and after deducting the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of conducting the business thereof and of all maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements and amounts necessary to pay for taxes, assessments, insurance and other proper charges upon the Premises or any part thereof, as well as reasonable compensation for the service contractors and employees by it engaged and employed, Mortgagee shall apply the moneys arising as aforesaid, but subject as aforesaid, to the Obligations secured herein in such order as Mortgagee shall determine in its discretion, subject to and in accordance with the Security Agreement. To the extent any expenses incurred by Mortgagee pursuant to the terms of this Section 13 exceed the amounts so collected by Mortgagee, all such excess amounts shall bear interest at the default rate set forth in Section 2.13(c) of the Credit Agreement (the “Default Rate”) from the date of incurrence until the date of reimbursement and shall constitute Obligations secured hereby. Nothing in this Section 13 shall constitute a limitation on the rights granted to Mortgagee under this Mortgage. For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 13, Mortgagor hereby constitutes and appoints Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact

of Mortgagor, which appointment is irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, in Mortgagor’s name and stead, to do and perform, from time to time, any and all actions necessary and incidental to such purpose and does by these presents ratify and confirm any and all actions of said attorney-in-fact in and with respect to the Premises.

14. UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right to take all actions permitted under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the state where the Premises are located (the “UCC”).

15. All Legal and Equitable Remedies.⁶ Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right from time to time to enforce any legal or equitable remedy against Mortgagor including specific performance of any of the provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents and to sue for any sums whether interest, damages for failure to pay principal or any installment thereof, taxes, installments of principal, or any other sums required to be paid under the terms of this Mortgage, as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the principal sum secured or any other sums secured by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall be due and without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to enforce any appropriate remedy against Mortgagor including an action of foreclosure, or any other action available hereunder or pursuant to applicable law.

(i) Mortgagee shall have the right to proceed against all real and personal property constituting the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein by foreclosure, including, without limitation, non-judicial foreclosure (to the extent permitted by and in accordance with applicable law), public or private sale, judicial foreclosure or otherwise as may be permitted by the laws of the state where the Premises are located;

(ii) Mortgagor hereby waives any right it may have to require the marshaling of its assets; and

(iii) Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose and/or sell the Premises in its entirety or any part thereof or interest therein as Mortgagee in its sole and absolute discretion shall determine, in one or more sales in such order and priority as Mortgagee may in its sole and absolute discretion deem necessary or advisable.

All sums realized from any such foreclosure or sale, less all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such sale, shall be applied as provided in Section 16(c) hereof. If, following any such sale, any Obligations secured hereby, whether or not then due and payable, shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied in any respect, the Loan Documents and all Obligations of Mortgagor thereunder shall continue in full force and effect until such unpaid and unsatisfied Obligations are fully paid and satisfied as therein provided, or as provided in Section 37 hereof.

(b) Upon the completion of any sale or sales made or caused by Mortgagee pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof:

(i) Mortgagor or an officer of any court empowered to do so shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold;

(ii) Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee as Mortgagor’s true and lawful attorney in fact, coupled with an interest, in Mortgagor’s name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Premises and rights so sold;

(iii) Mortgagee may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer and may substitute one or more persons with like power;

(iv) Mortgagor hereby ratifies and confirms all that Mortgagor’s said attorney or such substitutes(s) shall lawfully do by virtue hereof;

(v) Mortgagor, if requested by Mortgagee, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Mortgagee or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be necessary, for such purpose, and as may be designated in such request;

(vi) Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Mortgagor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under Mortgagor.

(c) The purchase money, proceeds or avails of any such sale or sales made pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof, together with any other sums which then may be held by Mortgagee under this Mortgage, shall be applied, in accordance with the Security Agreement, Credit Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement.

(d) Upon any sale or sales under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire, provided it is the highest responsive bidder, the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash in whole or in part therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Obligations secured hereby the net sales price after deducting therefrom the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the sale and the costs of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Mortgage.

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee may from time to time, if permitted by law, take action to recover any sums, whether interest, principal or any other sums, required to be paid under this Mortgage or any other Loan Documents as the same become due, without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to

bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action available upon an Event of Default. Mortgagee may also foreclose this Mortgage for any sums due under this Mortgage or any other Loan Document and the lien of this Mortgage shall continue to secure the balance of the Obligations and the interest hereon not then due, until released as provided in Section 37 hereof.

17. Rights Pertaining to Sales. Subject to the provisions or other requirements of law and except as otherwise provided herein and in the other Loan Documents, the following provisions shall apply to any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property under or by virtue of Section 16:

(a) Mortgagee may conduct any number of sales of the Mortgaged Property from time to time. The power of sale set forth in Section 16 above shall not be exhausted by any one or more such sales as to any part of the Mortgaged Property which shall not have been sold, nor by any sale which is not completed or is defective in Mortgagee’s opinion, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full, or as provided in Section 37 hereof.

(b) Any sale may be postponed or adjourned by public announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such postponed or adjourned sale without further notice. Without limiting the foregoing, in case Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this Mortgage by receiver, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings have been discontinued or abandoned for any such reason or shall have been determined adversely to Mortgagee, then in every such case Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

(c) After each sale, Mortgagee or an officer of any court empowered to do so shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale a good and sufficient instrument or instruments granting, conveying, assigning and transferring all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to the property and rights sold and shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales and apply the same as provided in Section 16(c). Mortgagee is hereby appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor, which appointment is irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, in Mortgagor’s name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the property and rights so sold, and for that purpose Mortgagee may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery, and may substitute one or more persons with like power, Mortgagor hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue thereof. Nevertheless, Mortgagor, if requested by Mortgagee, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Mortgagee or such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment, for the purposes as may be designated in such request.

(d) The receipt by Mortgagee of the purchase money paid at any such sale, or the receipt of any other person authorized to receive the same, shall be sufficient discharge therefor to any purchaser of any property or rights sold as aforesaid, and no such purchaser, or its representatives, grantees or assigns, after paying such purchase price and receiving such receipt, shall be bound to see to the application of such purchase price or any part thereof upon or for any trust or purpose of this Mortgage or, in any manner whatsoever, be answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication of any such purchase money, or part thereof, or be bound to inquire as to the authorization, necessity, expediency or regularity of any such sale.

(e) Any such sale or sales shall operate to divest all of the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Mortgagor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor and any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof or any interest therein, by, through or under Mortgagor to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(f) Upon any such sale or sales, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire, provided it is the highest responsive bidder, the Mortgaged Property and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the Obligations the amount of the bid made therefor, after deducting therefrom the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the sale, the cost of any enforcement proceeding hereunder, and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under the terms hereof, to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid.

(g) In the event that Mortgagor, or any person claiming by, through or under Mortgagor, shall transfer or refuse or fail to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property after any sale thereof, then Mortgagor, or such person, shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser at such sale, subject to eviction· by means of forcible entry and unlawful detainer proceedings, or subject to any other right or remedy available hereunder or under applicable law.

(h) Upon the foreclosure of this Mortgage, any Leases then existing shall not be destroyed or terminated as a result of such foreclosure unless Mortgagee or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale shall so elect by notice to the lessee in question.

18. Expenses. In any proceeding, judicial or otherwise (to the extent permitted by applicable law), to foreclose this Mortgage or enforce any other remedy of Mortgagee under the Loan Documents, there shall be allowed and included as an addition to and a part of the Obligations in the decree for sale or other judgment or decree all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred in connection with the exercise by Mortgagee of any of its rights and remedies provided herein or any comparable provision of any other Loan Document, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such expense is incurred, and the same shall be part of the Obligations and shall be secured by this Mortgage.

(a) Without affecting the lien or charge of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Obligations, Mortgagee may, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any person liable for the Obligations, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of the Loans or any guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at any time at Mortgagee’s option any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto.

(b) Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Mortgagee’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee, it being agreed that Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may determine in its absolute discretion.

(c) No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Mortgagee or to which it may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee, and no act of Mortgagee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.

(d) No action by Mortgagee in the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Mortgage or any other Loan Document or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.

(e) If Mortgagee shall have proceeded to invoke any right or remedy permitted under the Loan Documents, Mortgagee shall have the unqualified right thereafter to elect to discontinue or abandon such right or remedy for any reason, and in such event Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property, and otherwise, and the rights and remedies of Mortgage shall continue as if the right or remedy had not been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default that may then exist or the right of Mortgagee thereafter to exercise any right or remedy under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default.

20. Mortgagor’s Waiver of Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that may subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) any extension of the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Obligations or the creation or extension of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt, (iii) exemption of the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale under execution or exemption from civil process, and (iv) any right to a marshalling of assets. To the full extent Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor shall not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Mortgage before exercising any other remedy granted hereunder and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and its successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured Obligations and marshalling in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created. To the fullest extent of the law, Mortgagor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by Mortgagee against Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property of any deficiency after a foreclosure sale (whether judicial or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, non-judicial).

21. Cross-Collateralization. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Mortgagor acknowledges that the Obligations are secured by other collateral as more specifically set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right to institute a proceeding or proceedings or take such action with regard to such other collateral under any applicable provision of law, for all of the Obligations or any portion of the Obligations. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents shall prejudice Mortgagee’s enforcement rights relative to such other collateral.

(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a “security agreement” within the meaning of the UCC. The Mortgaged Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Mortgagor in the Mortgaged Property. By executing and delivering this Mortgage, Mortgagor has granted and hereby grants to Mortgagee, as security for the Obligations, a security interest in all of Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in the Mortgaged Property to the full extent that the Mortgaged Property may be subject to the UCC (the portion of the Mortgaged Property so subject to the UCC being referred to in this paragraph as the “Personal Property”). If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee shall have any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the UCC, including the right to take possession of the Personal Property or any part thereof and to take such other measures as Mortgagee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Personal Property. Upon reasonable request or demand of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall at its expense assemble the Personal Property and make it available to Mortgagee at a convenient place acceptable to Mortgagee. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action of Mortgagee with respect to the Personal Property sent to Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Mortgagor. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 22 and terms of Article V of the Credit Agreement, the terms of Article V of the Credit Agreement shall control.

(b) Pursuant to applicable law, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee to file or record financing statements, continuation statements, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Personal Property or fixtures without the signature of Mortgagor in such form and in such offices as the Mortgagee reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of Mortgagee under this Mortgage it being understood that Mortgagee shall have no obligation to file or record such documents. Mortgagor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by Mortgagee of any financing statement with respect to such Mortgaged Property made prior to the Effective Date.

(c) In the event that any of the Mortgaged Property hereunder is also subject to a valid and enforceable Lien under the terms of the Security Agreement and the terms thereof are inconsistent with the terms of this Mortgage, then with respect to such Mortgaged Property, the terms of this Mortgage shall control in the case of fixtures, and the terms of the Security Agreement shall control in the case of all other Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement).

23. Fixture Filing. To the extent permitted by law, a portion of the Mortgaged Property is or is to become fixtures upon the Real Estate. The filing of this Mortgage in the real estate records of the county in which the Mortgaged Property is located shall also operate from the time of filing a financing statement filed as a “fixture filing” within the meaning of Article 9 (or such equivalent section) of the UCC with respect to all portions of the Mortgaged Property that are or are to become fixtures related to the Real Estate. For such purpose, Mortgagor is the record owner of the Real Estate, Mortgagee is the secured party and Mortgagor is the debtor, their respective addresses are set forth in the preamble to this Mortgage, and Mortgagor’s organizational identification number is [ ].

(a) In furtherance of and in addition to the assignment made by Mortgagor in the granting clauses of this Mortgage, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and absolutely grants, transfers and assigns all of its right, title and interest as landlord in the Leases and Rents to Mortgagee. The foregoing grant, transfer and assignment is a present and absolute assignment and not merely the passing of a security interest. Such assignment shall continue in effect until the Obligations are paid in full, or as provided in Section 37 hereof. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagor also grants to Mortgagee the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents on account of the Obligations. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagor shall have a license from Mortgagee to exercise all rights granted to the landlord under the Leases, including the right to receive and collect all Rents. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the license hereby granted to Mortgagor shall be temporarily suspended, and Mortgagor shall promptly pay over to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any lease security deposits and rent prepayments.

(b) Mortgagor hereby further grants to Mortgagee the right to notify the lessee under any Lease of the assignment thereof and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) to demand that such lessee pay all amounts due under such Lease directly to Mortgagee, (ii) to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents, (iii) to dispossess by the usual summary proceedings any lessee defaulting in the payment thereof, (iv) to let the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and (v) to apply the Rents, after payment of all necessary charges and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, on account of the Obligations. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each lessee under any Lease to rely upon any such notice. Nothing contained in this Section 24 shall be construed to bind Mortgagee to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any Lease or otherwise to impose any obligation on Mortgagee thereunder, except that Mortgagee shall be accountable for any Rents actually received pursuant to such assignment. Mortgagor shall not modify, amend, terminate or consent to the cancellation, surrender or assignment of any Lease if any modification, amendment, termination or assignment would have a Material Adverse Effect (it being understood that the preceding portions of this sentence shall not apply to the expiration or early termination of any

Lease by its terms). Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent or operating costs, if any). The collection of Rents by Mortgagee shall in no way waive the right of Mortgagee to foreclose this Mortgage in the event of any Event of Default. Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee promptly after a written request by Mortgagee to do so, a written statement containing the names of all lessees, sublessees and concessionaires of the Mortgaged Property, the terms of any Lease, the space occupied, the rentals or license fees payable thereunder, whether each such lessee is in default under its Lease and if so, the nature thereof.

(c) Mortgagor acknowledges that it has taken all actions necessary for the Mortgagee to obtain, and that upon recordation of this Mortgage Mortgagee shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully perfected, first priority, present assignment of the Rents, subject to Liens not prohibited by Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement.

25. Changes in Method of Taxation. In the event of the passage after the Effective Date of any law of any governmental authority deducting from the value of the Premises for the purposes of taxation, or changing in any way the laws for the taxation of mortgages or debts secured thereby for federal, state or local purposes, or the manner of collection of any such taxes, and imposing a tax, either directly or indirectly, on mortgages or debts secured thereby, Mortgagor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, assume as an Obligation hereunder the payment of any tax so imposed until full payment of the Obligations, subject, however, to Mortgagor’s right to contest the amount or validity thereof pursuant to applicable law. In the event that Mortgagor exercises such right to consent, Mortgagor shall either (i) pay all such disputed amounts to the applicable governmental authority in full prior to instituting such contest or (ii) deposit such amount in dispute with Mortgagee until the final resolution of such contest. Mortgagor shall not claim, demand or be entitled to receive any credit or credits toward the satisfaction of this Mortgage or on any interest payable thereon for any taxes assessed against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and shall not claim any deduction from the taxable value of the Mortgaged Property by reason of this Mortgage.

26. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

(a) No failure or delay by Mortgagee, any Issuing Bank (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Mortgagee, the Issuing Bank (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Mortgage or consent to any departure by Mortgagor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of

this Section 27, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a letter of credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether Mortgagee, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Mortgage nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

28. Partial Invalidity. Any provision of this Mortgage held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

29. No Third Party Beneficiary; Covenants Run with the Land; Successors and Assigns. All covenants of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Mortgagee and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Mortgagee at any time if in its sole discretion it deems such waiver advisable. Until the Obligations have been paid in full, or as provided in Section 37 hereof, all such covenants of Mortgagor shall run with the land and bind Mortgagor, the successors and assigns of Mortgagor (and each of them) and all subsequent owners, encumbrances and tenants of the Mortgaged Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns.

30. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Mortgagor in this Mortgage and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Mortgage shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any letters of credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect until the termination of this Mortgage in accordance with Section 37.

31. Relationship of Mortgagee and Mortgagor. The relationship between Mortgagor and Mortgagee created hereunder is that of creditor/debtor. Mortgagee does not owe any fiduciary duty or special obligation to Mortgagor or any of Mortgagor’s officers, partners, agents, or representatives. Nothing herein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common or joint tenancy relationship between Mortgagor and Mortgagee.

32. Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the exercise of any right or remedy by Mortgagee hereunder is subject to the limitations and

provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Mortgage regarding the priority of the liens and the security interests granted to Mortgagee or exercise of any rights or remedies by Mortgagee, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of the Credit Agreement regarding the priority of the liens and the security interests granted to Mortgagee or exercise of any rights or remedies by Mortgagee, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

33. GOVERNING LAW. THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE REAL ESTATE IS LOCATED, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION, SHALL GOVERN THE CREATION, PERFECTION, PRIORITY, VALIDITY AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE MORTGAGE LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST PROVIDED FOR HEREIN. NEW YORK LIEN LAW AND SECTIONS 1301 AND 1371 OF THE NEW YORK REAL PROPERTY ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS LAW SHALL NOT APPLY TO THIS MORTGAGE IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER.

34. Sole Discretion of Mortgagee. Whenever Mortgagee’s judgment, consent, action or approval is required hereunder for any matter, or Mortgagee shall have an option or election hereunder, such judgment, the decision whether or not to consent to or approve the same or the exercise of such option or election shall be in the sole discretion of Mortgagee acting solely at the written direction of the Lenders, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. It is understood that all rights granted herein shall not be interpreted or construed to create any additional obligation on the Mortgagee.

Representative, any other Authorized Representatives or any other First-Priority Secured Party shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Controlling Authorized Representative or other First-Priority Secured Party with respect to any Common Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (v) it will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have any Common Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral and (vi) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of the Authorized Representatives or any other First-Priority Secured Party to enforce this Agreement.

(b) Each First-Priority Secured Party hereby agrees that, if it shall obtain possession of any Common Collateral or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any such Common Collateral, pursuant to any First-Priority Collateral Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement), at any time prior to the Discharge of each Series of First-Priority Obligations, then it shall hold such Common Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the First-Priority Secured Parties and promptly transfer such Common Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Controlling Authorized Representative, to be distributed by the Controlling Authorized Representative in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01(a) hereof.

SECTION 2.04. Automatic Release of Liens; Amendments to First-Priority Collateral Documents.

(a) If at any time any Common Collateral is transferred to a third party or otherwise disposed of, in each case, in connection with any enforcement by the Controlling Authorized Representative in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable First-Priority Collateral Documents, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of each Authorized Representative for the benefit of each Series of First-Priority Secured Parties upon such Common Collateral will automatically be released and discharged upon final conclusion of the applicable foreclosure proceeding; provided that any proceeds of any Common Collateral realized therefrom shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.

(b) If, in connection with any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Common Collateral permitted under the terms of the Secured Credit Documents (whether or not an Event of Default thereunder, and as defined therein, has occurred and is continuing), the Controlling Authorized Representative, for itself or on behalf of the Controlling Secured Parties, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Common Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of each Non-Controlling Authorized Representative on such Common Collateral (but not the proceeds thereof, which shall be subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement) shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released, and each Non-Controlling Authorized Representative promptly shall execute, if applicable, and deliver to the Controlling

Authorized Representative or such Grantor such termination statements, releases, authorizations and other documents and instruments, and shall take or authorize the Controlling Authorized Representative or such Grantor to take such action (including any recordation, filing or giving of notice), as the Controlling Authorized Representative or such Grantor may reasonably request to effectively confirm such release.

(c) Each First-Priority Secured Party agrees that the Controlling Authorized Representative may, with the prior written consent of the Grantors, enter into any amendment (and, upon request by the Controlling Authorized Representative, each Authorized Representative shall sign a consent to such amendment) to any First-Priority Collateral Document solely as such First-Priority Collateral Document relates to a particular Series of First-Priority Obligations for which the Controlling Authorized Representative is acting (including, without limitation, to release Liens securing such Series of First-Priority Obligations) so long as (x) such amendment is in accordance with the Secured Credit Document pursuant to which such Series of First-Priority Obligations was incurred and (y) such amendment does not materially adversely affect the First-Priority Secured Parties of any other Series. The Controlling Authorized Representative shall provide a copy of such amendment to each Authorized Representative.

(d) Each Authorized Representative agrees to execute, if applicable and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such termination statements, releases, authorizations and other documents and instruments, and shall take or authorize the applicable Authorized Representative or such Grantor to take such action (including any recordation, filing or giving of notice) reasonably required in connection therewith as shall reasonably be requested by the applicable Authorized Representative to evidence and confirm any release of Common Collateral, whether in connection with a sale of such assets by the relevant owner pursuant to the preceding clauses or otherwise or amendment to any First-Priority Collateral Document provided for in this Section.

SECTION 2.05. Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.

(a) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) If any Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, each First-Priority Secured Party (other than any Controlling Secured Party or the Controlling Authorized Representative) agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Common Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Common Collateral, unless any Controlling Secured Party or Controlling Authorized Representative, shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such

DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Common Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Common Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any First-Priority Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Common Collateral granted to secure the First-Priority Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Common Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the First-Priority Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Common Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other First-Priority Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the First-Priority Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the First-Priority Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any First-Priority Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the First-Priority Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the First-Priority Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement and (D) if any First-Priority Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement; provided that the First-Priority Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the First-Priority Secured Parties of such Series or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Common Collateral; provided further that the First-Priority Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other First-Priority Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such First-Priority Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

SECTION 2.06. Reinstatement. In the event that any of the First-Priority Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such First-Priority Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.

SECTION 2.07. Insurance. As between the First-Priority Secured Parties, the Controlling Authorized Representative shall have the right to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Common Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral.

SECTION 2.08. Refinancings. The First-Priority Obligations of any Series may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the refinancing transaction under any Secured Credit Document) of, any First-Priority Secured Party of any other Series, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that the Authorized Representative of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder Agreement on behalf of the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness.

SECTION 2.09. Possessory Collateral, Control Collateral and Controlling Authorized Representative as Gratuitous Bailee/Agent for Perfection.

(a) The Controlling Authorized Representative agrees to hold any Common Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral or Control Collateral that is part of the Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the benefit of each other First-Priority Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral or Control Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable First-Priority Collateral Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09. Pending delivery to the Controlling Authorized Representative, each other Authorized Representative agrees to hold any Common Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral or Control Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the benefit of each other First-Priority Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral or Control Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable First-Priority Collateral Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09.

(b) The duties or responsibilities of the Controlling Authorized Representative and each other Authorized Representative under this Section 2.09 shall be limited solely to holding any Common Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral or Control Collateral as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the benefit of each other First-Priority Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such First-Priority Secured Parties therein.

(c) The agreement of the Controlling Authorized Representative to act as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent pursuant to this Section 2.09 is intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2), 9-104(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code.

(d) Upon the occurrence of any change in the identity of the Person serving as the Controlling Authorized Representative, the retiring Controlling Authorized Representative shall (1) deliver to the successor Controlling Authorized Representative (and each Grantor hereby directs the Controlling Authorized Representative to so deliver) at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense, any Possessory Collateral or Control Collateral evidencing or constituting such Common Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements to the extent required by the Secured Credit Documents

and (2) in the case of any Common Collateral as to which the Controlling Authorized Representative has control (whether pursuant to an account control agreement or otherwise), the Controlling Authorized Representative and the applicable Grantor, at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense, shall take such actions, if any, as are required to cause control over such Common Collateral to become vested in the successor Controlling Authorized Representative.

Whenever the any Authorized Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any First-Priority Obligations of any Series, or the Common Collateral subject to any Lien securing the First-Priority Obligations of any Series, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by each other Authorized Representative and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that, if an Authorized Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Controlling Authorized Representative or Authorized Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination or not make any determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of a President, a Vice President or a Financial Officer of the Borrower. The Controlling Authorized Representative and each other Authorized Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any First-Priority Secured Party or any other person as a result of such determination, except to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable judgment to have resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Authorized Representative.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed to impose any fiduciary or other duty on the Controlling Authorized Representative to any Non-Controlling Secured Party or give any Non-Controlling Secured Party the right to direct the Controlling Authorized Representative, except that the Controlling Authorized Representative shall be obligated to distribute proceeds of any Common Collateral in accordance with Section 2.01 hereof.

(b) Each Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Controlling Authorized Representative shall be entitled, for the benefit of the First-Priority Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Common Collateral as provided herein and in the First-Priority Collateral Documents for which the Controlling Authorized Representative is the collateral agent of such Common Collateral, without regard to any rights to which Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled as a result of holding any First-Priority Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Controlling Authorized Representative or any other First-Priority Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Common Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the First-Priority Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Common Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any First-Priority Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the First-Priority Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against the Controlling Authorized Representative or the Authorized Representative of any other Series of First-Priority Obligations or any other First-Priority Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which the Controlling Authorized Representative, any other Authorized Representative or any First-Priority Secured Party takes or omits to take (including, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the First-Priority Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the First-Priority Collateral Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the First-Priority Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the First-Priority Obligations, (ii) any election by any Authorized Representative or any holders of First-Priority Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.05 of this Agreement, any borrowing or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Controlling Authorized Representative shall not accept any Common Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any First-Priority Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each Authorized Representative representing holders of First-Priority Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Common Collateral.

SECTION 4.02. Rights as a First-Priority Secured Party. The Person serving as the Controlling Authorized Representative hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a First-Priority Secured Party under any Series of First-Priority Obligations that it holds as any other First-Priority Secured Party of such Series and may exercise the same as though it were not the Controlling Authorized Representative and the term “First-Priority Secured Party” or “First-Priority Secured

Parties” or (as applicable) “Initial Revolving Credit Agreement Secured Party”, “Initial Term Credit Agreement Secured Parties”, “Other First-Priority Secured Party” or “Other First-Priority Secured Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Controlling Authorized Representative hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Controlling Authorized Representative hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other First-Priority Secured Party.

(a) The Controlling Authorized Representative shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other First-Priority Collateral Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Controlling Authorized Representative:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties of any kind or nature to any Person, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other First-Priority Collateral Documents; provided that the Controlling Authorized Representative shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Controlling Authorized Representative to liability or that is contrary to any First-Priority Collateral Document or applicable law;

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other First-Priority Collateral Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Controlling Authorized Representative or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(iv) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision or (ii) in reliance on a certificate of an authorized officer of the Borrower stating that such action is not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement. The Controlling Authorized Representative shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default under any Series of First-Priority Obligations unless and until notice describing such Event of Default is given to the Controlling Authorized Representative by the Authorized Representative of such First-Priority Obligations or the Borrower;

(v) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other First-Priority Collateral Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other First-Priority Collateral Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the First-Priority Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral for any Series of First-Priority Obligations, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Secured Credit Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Controlling Authorized Representative;

(vi) shall not have any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of any kind or nature under any Other First-Priority Agreement (but shall be entitled to all protections provided to the Authorized Representative therein); and

(vii) with respect to any Credit Agreement, any Other First-Priority Agreement or any First-Priority Collateral Document, may conclusively assume that the Grantors have complied with all of their obligations thereunder unless it has knowledge of any such non-compliance or is advised in writing by the Authorized Representative thereunder to the contrary specifically setting forth the alleged violation.

(b) [Each First-Priority Secured Party acknowledges that, in addition to acting as the initial Controlling Authorized Representative, JPMCB also serves as Initial Revolving Credit Facility Agent under the Initial Revolving Credit Agreement and as Initial Term Credit Facility Agent under the Initial Term Credit Agreement and each First-Priority Secured Party hereby agrees not to assert any claim (including as a result of any conflict of interest) against JPMCB, or any successor, arising from the role of Initial Revolving Credit Facility Agent under the Initial Revolving Credit Agreement or Initial Term Credit Facility Agent under the Initial Term Credit Agreement so long as JPMCB or any such successor is either acting in accordance with the express terms of such documents (as supplemented by this Agreement) or otherwise has not engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct.]

(c) Each Authorized Representative and each First-Priority Secured Party hereby waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against the Controlling Authorized Representative or any First-Priority Secured Parties arising out of (i) any actions which the Controlling Authorized Representative (or any of its representatives) takes or omits to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, disposition, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and

actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the First-Priority Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with any relevant First-Priority Collateral Documents, or any other agreement related thereto, or to the collection of the First-Priority Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the First-Priority Obligations, (ii) any election by the Controlling Authorized Representative (or any of its agents), in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession.

SECTION 4.04. Reliance by Controlling Authorized Representative. The Controlling Authorized Representative shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Controlling Authorized Representative also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Controlling Authorized Representative may consult with legal counsel (who may include, but shall not be limited to counsel for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or counsel to the Initial Revolving Credit Facility Agent, the Initial Term Credit Facility Agent or any other Authorized Representative), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 4.05. Delegation of Duties. The Controlling Authorized Representative may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other First-Priority Collateral Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Controlling Authorized Representative. The Controlling Authorized Representative and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Controlling Authorized Representative and any such sub-agent.

SECTION 4.06. Non-Reliance on Controlling Authorized Representative and Other First-Priority Secured Parties. Each First-Priority Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Controlling Authorized Representative, any other Authorized Representative or any other First-Priority Secured Party or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Secured Credit Documents. Each First-Priority Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Controlling Authorized Representative, any other Authorized Representative or any other First-Priority Secured Party or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Secured Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 5.01. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, as follows:

As agreed to in writing among the Controlling Authorized Representative and each other Authorized Representative from time to time, notices and other communications may also be delivered by e-mail to the e-mail address of a representative of the applicable person provided from time to time by such person.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall not be prohibited by paragraph (b) of this Section 5.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be terminated, waived, amended or modified (other than pursuant to any Joinder Agreement) except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Authorized Representative (or its authorized agent) and, only to the extent such amendment or other modification would materially and adversely affect any right or obligation of any Grantor hereunder or under any Secured Credit Document or would impose any additional obligations on the Grantors, the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.02(b) to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended from time to time at the request of the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, and without the consent of any Authorized Representative or any First-Priority Secured Party, to add other parties holding Other First-Priority Obligations (or any agent or trustee therefor) in accordance with clause (c) below and Section 5.14, to the extent such obligations are not prohibited by any Secured Credit Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to a Series of First-Priority Obligations (and the Authorized Representative with respect thereto) upon the Discharge of such Series of First-Priority Obligations.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any First-Priority Secured Party, any Authorized Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 5.14 and, upon such execution and delivery, such Authorized Representative and the Other First-Priority Secured Parties and Other First-Priority Obligations of the Series for which such Authorized Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof and the terms of the other First-Priority Collateral Documents applicable thereto.

SECTION 5.03. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, as well as the other First-Priority Secured Parties, all of whom are intended to be bound by, and to be third party beneficiaries of, this Agreement.

ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 5.07. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles.

SECTION 5.08. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Controlling Authorized Representative and each other Authorized Representative, on behalf of itself and the First-Priority Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting, irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located in the borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the First-Priority Collateral Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of such parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of such parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law;

SECTION 5.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE FIRST PRIORITY COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS.

(a) describing the indebtedness and other obligations being designated as Other First-Priority Obligations, and including a statement of the maximum aggregate outstanding principal amount of such indebtedness as of the date of such certificate;

(b) setting forth each of the indentures, credit agreements or other similar agreements (the “Additional First-Priority Agreements”) under which such Other First-Priority Obligations are, or are to be, issued or incurred, and under which the Liens securing such Other First-Priority Obligations are, or are to be, granted or created, and attaching copies of such Additional First-Priority Agreements as each Grantor has executed and delivered to the Person that serves as the collateral agent, collateral trustee or a similar representative for the holders of such Other First-Priority Obligations (such Person, the “Additional First-Priority Agent”) with respect to such Other First-Priority Obligations on the closing date of such Other First-Priority Obligations, certified as being true and complete by a President, a Vice President or a Financial Officer of the Borrower;

(d) certifying that the incurrence of such Other First-Priority Obligations, the creation of the Liens securing such Other First-Priority Obligations and the designation of such Other First-Priority Obligations as “Other First-Priority Obligations” hereunder do not violate or result in a default under any provision of any Secured Credit Document of any Series in effect at such time; and

(e) attaching a fully completed Joinder Agreement executed and delivered by the Authorized Representative in respect of such Series of Other First-Priority Obligations.

Upon the delivery of such certificate and the related attachments as provided above, the obligations designated in such notice shall become Other First-Priority Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement.

The Additional First-Priority Agent is entering into this Joinder Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement in order to become an Additional First-Priority Agent and Authorized Representative thereunder.

Section 1. Accession to the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 3. Counterparts. This Joinder Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Joinder Agreement shall become effective when each Authorized Representative shall have received a counterpart of this Joinder Agreement that bears the signature of the Additional First-Priority Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Joinder Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including PDF copies) shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Joinder Agreement.

In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Joinder Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, none of the parties hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Intercreditor Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
