(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, 1:00 p.m., New York City time and (ii) in the case of Term Loans, 10:00 a.m., New York City time (or, in the case of ABR Term Loans, such later time as shall be two hours after the delivery by the Company of a Borrowing Request therefor in accordance with Section 2.03), in each case, to the account of the Applicable Facility Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Applicable Facility Agent will make such Loans available to the Company by promptly remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Company.

(b) Unless an Applicable Facility Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to such Applicable Facility Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, such Applicable Facility Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Applicable Facility Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Company severally agree to pay to the Applicable Facility Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Company to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Facility Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Applicable Facility Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of

a payment to be made by the Company, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans of the applicable Class. If the Company and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Applicable Facility Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Applicable Facility Agent shall promptly remit to the Company the amount of such interest paid by the Company for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Applicable Facility Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Company shall be without prejudice to any claim the Company may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Applicable Facility Agent.

SECTION 2.05. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing and Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Company may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of 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 Company 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 Company shall notify the Applicable Facility Agent of such election by telephone or in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Company were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be made (or, if telephonic, confirmed promptly) by hand delivery or facsimile to the Applicable Facility Agent (with a copy to the General Administrative Agent) of an executed written Interest Election Request. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) 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 to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which 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 Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(c) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section, the Applicable Facility Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(d) If the Company 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 continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing for an additional Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default under clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Company, or if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Applicable Facility Agent, at the request of a Majority in Interest of Lenders of any Class, has notified the Company of the election to give effect to this sentence on account of such other Event of Default, then, in each such case, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing of such Class may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing of such Class shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.06. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term Commitment of each Term Lender shall automatically terminate on the earlier of (A) immediately after the making of the Term Loan by such Term Lender on the Term Funding Date and (B) the Term Commitment Termination Date and (ii) the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

(b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of a Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment.

(c) The Company shall notify the Applicable Facility Agent (with a copy to the General Administrative Agent) of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying the effective date thereof.

Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Applicable Facility Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of this Section may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Applicable Facility Agent (with a copy to the General Administrative Agent) on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Revolving Facility Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Revolving Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date and (ii) to the Term Facility Agent for the account of each Term Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Term Lender on the Term Maturity Date.

(b) The records maintained by the Agents and the Lenders shall (in the case of the Lenders, to the extent they are not inconsistent with the records maintained by the Applicable Facility Agent pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(iv)) be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Company in respect of the Loans, interest and fees due or accrued hereunder; provided that the failure of any Agent or any Lender to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Applicable Facility 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 payee named therein and its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.08. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Company shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to the requirements of this Section.

(b) The Company shall notify the Applicable Facility Agent by telephone (confirmed, with a copy to the General Administrative Agent, by hand delivery or facsimile) or in writing (with a copy to the General Administrative Agent) of any optional prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, and (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each

such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and the principal amount of each such Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that (A) if a notice of optional prepayment of Revolving Borrowings is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked (by notice to the Revolving Facility Agent (with a copy to the General Administrative Agent) on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.06 and (B) a notice of optional prepayment of Term Borrowings may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Term Facility Agent (with a copy to the General Administrative Agent) on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Applicable Facility Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class 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. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10.

SECTION 2.09. Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Revolving Facility Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee (the “Revolving Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. Accrued Revolving Commitment Fees in respect of the Revolving Commitments shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date. All Revolving Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Company agrees to pay to the Term Facility Agent for the account of each Term Lender a ticking fee (the “Term Ticking Fee”), which shall accrue at the Term Ticking Fee Rate on the daily amount of the Term Commitment of such Lender during the period (the “Term Ticking Fee Accrual Period”) that (i) commences on the date that is 60 days after the Signing Date and (ii) ends on the earlier of (A) the Term Funding Date and (B) the date on which the Term Commitment of such Lender terminates or expires. Accrued Term Ticking Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of the Term Ticking Fee Accrual Period. All Term Ticking Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Company agrees to pay to each Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Company and such Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to (i) in the case of the Revolving Commitment Fees, the Revolving Facility Agent for distribution to the Revolving Lenders entitled thereto, (ii) in the case of the Term Ticking Fees, the Term Facility Agent for distribution to the Term Lenders entitled thereto and (iii) in the case of any fees payable to any Agent for its own account, to such Agent. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.10. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

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

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Company 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 of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, (ii) in the case of overdue interest on any Loan or overdue fees with respect to any Commitment, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans that are of the same Class as the Class of such Loan or Commitment, as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section, or (iii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving 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 and, in the case of a Revolving Loan, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; 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 (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), 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 a 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 Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Applicable Facility Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.11. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of any Class:

(i) the Applicable Facility Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

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

then the Applicable Facility Agent shall give notice (which may be telephonic) thereof to the Company, the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders of such Class as promptly as practicable and, until the Applicable Facility Agent notifies the Company, the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders of such Class that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing of such Class to, or continuation of any Borrowing of such Class as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, and such Borrowing shall be continued as an ABR Borrowing, and (B) any Borrowing Request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of such Class shall be treated as a request for an ABR Borrowing.

(b) If at any time the Applicable Facility Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in paragraph (a)(i) of this Section have arisen (including because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in paragraph (a)(i) of this Section have not arisen but the supervisor or the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Applicable Facility Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Agents and the Company shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Adjusted LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans denominated in dollars in the United States at such time, and the Agents and the Company shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; provided that if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for all purposes of this Agreement. Such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Agents shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) above, only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request

that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, and such Borrowing shall be continued as an ABR Borrowing, and (y) any Borrowing Request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be treated as a request for an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs; Illegality. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);

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

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of the term “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, 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 Lender or other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, from time to time within 10 days following request of such Lender or other Recipient (accompanied by a certificate in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section), the Company will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such Lender or other Recipient shall only be entitled to seek such additional amounts if such Person is generally seeking the payment of similar additional amounts from similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities to the extent it is entitled to do so.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had 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, the Commitments of such Lender 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 within 10 days

following request of such Lender (accompanied by a certificate in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section), the Company 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; provided that such Lender shall only be entitled to seek such additional amounts if such Person is generally seeking the payment of similar additional amounts from similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities to the extent it is entitled to do so.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the basis for and, in reasonable detail (to the extent practicable), computation of 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 Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company 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 Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses 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, expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or the applicable lending office of such Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurocurrency Loan or to charge interest with respect to any Loan, or to determine or charge interest rates, based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Company, the Applicable Facility Agent and each other Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurocurrency Loan, or to continue any Eurocurrency Loan or convert any ABR Loan into a Eurocurrency Loan, or to charge interest with respect to any Loan, or to determine or charge interest rates, based upon the LIBO Rate, in each case, shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Applicable Facility Agent without reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Applicable Facility Agent, each other Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Company shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Applicable Facility Agent and each other Agent) prepay or, if applicable, convert all

Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Applicable Facility Agent without reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans and (B) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, the Applicable Facility Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component thereof until the Applicable Facility Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Company shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

SECTION 2.13. 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), (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 or continue any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof), (d) the failure to prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on a date specified therefor in any notice of prepayment given by the Company (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof) or (e) 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 Company pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Company shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (but not lost profits) within 10 days following request of such Lender (accompanied by a certificate described below in this Section). 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 that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not including the Applicable Rate applicable thereto), 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 that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate such Lender would bid if it were to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender delivered to the Company and setting forth the basis for and, in reasonable detail (to the extent practicable), computation of any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.14. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Company. The Company shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of any Agent timely reimburse such Agent for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Company shall deliver to the Applicable Facility Agent and the General 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 Applicable Facility Agent and the General Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Applicable Facility Agent and the General Administrative Agent), or by the Applicable Facility Agent (with a copy to the General Administrative Agent) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify within 10 days after demand therefor (i) each Agent for any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified such Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), (ii) the Agents and the Company as applicable, for any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c)(ii) 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 any Agent or the Company in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses

arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by any Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes each 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 such Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to such Agent under this paragraph.

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company, the Applicable Facility Agent and the General Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company, the Applicable Facility Agent or the General Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company, the Applicable Facility Agent or the General Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company, the Applicable Facility Agent or the General Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company, the Applicable Facility Agent or the General Administrative Agent as will enable the Company, the Applicable Facility Agent and the General Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.14(f)(ii)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to Taxes 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 Company, the Applicable Facility Agent and the General Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company, the Applicable Facility Agent or the General 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 Company, the Applicable Facility Agent or the General Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company, the Applicable Facility Agent and the General 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 clause (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

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

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

SECTION 2.15. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Company shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document prior to the time required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Applicable Facility 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 such account as may be specified by the Applicable Facility Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Applicable Facility Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document 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. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

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

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans 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 notify the Agents of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their 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 Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time) 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 Person that is an Eligible Assignee (as such term is defined herein from time to time). The Company 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 Company rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless an Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to such Agent for the account of the Lenders that the Company will not make such payment, such Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Company has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to such 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 such Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such 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 hereunder to or for the account of any Agent, then such Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by such Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged.

SECTION 2.16. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Company is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Company) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, 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 Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation within 10 days following request of such Lender (accompanied by reasonable (to the extent practicable) back-up documentation relating thereto).

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, (ii) the Company is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, (iii) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that under Section 9.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders or all the Lenders of the affected Class) and with respect to which the Required Lenders (or, in circumstances where Section 9.02 does not require the consent of the Required Lenders, a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of the affected Class) shall have granted their consent, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender, the Applicable Facility Agent and the General Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04, it being understood that the processing and recordation fee referred to in such Section shall be paid by the Company or the assignee (and the assignor Lender shall not be responsible therefor), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or, in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a failure to provide a consent, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender of a particular Class) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that (A) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Applicable Facility Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (B) 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 (if applicable, in each case only to the extent such amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of a particular Class) from the assignee (in the case of such principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts), (C) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (D) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law and (E) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such

assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be effected. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Company, the Applicable Facility Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 2.17. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) the Revolving Commitment Fees and the Term Ticking Fees shall cease to accrue on the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment or on the Term Commitment, as the case may be, of such Defaulting Lender;

(b) the Revolving Commitment, the Revolving Exposure, the Term Commitment and the Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof; and

(c) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Applicable Facility Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Applicable Facility Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.15(c) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Applicable Facility Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agents hereunder; second, as the Company may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Applicable Facility Agent; third, if so determined by the Applicable Facility Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting

Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans of any Class in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of the applicable Class of all non-Defaulting Lenders of such Class on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans of such Class are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments of such Class. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

In the event that the Revolving Facility Agent and the Company each agree that a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Revolving Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders as the Revolving Facility Agent shall determine to be necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, and such Lender shall thereupon cease to be a Defaulting Lender (but shall not be entitled to receive any Revolving Commitment Fees accrued during the period when it was a Defaulting Lender, and all amendments, waivers or modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02 and this Section during such period shall be binding on it).

In the event that the Term Facility Agent and the Company each agree that a Defaulting Lender that is a Term Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Term Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Term Lender shall take such actions as the Term Facility Agent may determine to be appropriate in connection with such Term Lender ceasing to be a Defaulting Lender, and such Term Lender shall thereupon cease to be a Defaulting Lender (but shall not be entitled to receive any Term Ticking Fees accrued during the period when it was a Defaulting Lender, and all amendments, waivers or modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02 and this Section during such period shall be binding on it).

The Company may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than two Business Days’ prior notice to the Revolving Facility Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders thereof) and the General Administrative Agent; provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Company, the Agents or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that any Agent, any Lender or the Company may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.18. Bridge Facility. (a) The Company may, by written notice to the General Administrative Agent, request the establishment of Bridge Commitments, provided that the aggregate amount of the Bridge Commitments established hereunder shall not exceed the Bridge Facility Amount. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date on which the Company proposes that the Bridge Commitments shall become effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the General Administrative Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the General Administrative Agent, and (ii) the amount of the Bridge Commitments being established (it being agreed that, except to the extent such Lender shall have separately agreed in writing to provide any Bridge Commitment, any Lender approached to provide any Bridge Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Bridge Commitment).

(b) The terms and conditions of the Bridge Commitments and the Bridge Loans to be made thereunder shall be as set forth in the Bridge Facility Agreement, provided that (i) the Bridge Loans shall be extensions of credit to the Company that are not Guaranteed by any Person, (ii) the Bridge Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the other Loans and shall not be secured by any Liens on any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries and (iii) the Bridge Facility Agreement shall not contain any affirmative, negative or financial covenant applicable to the Company or the Subsidiaries or any event of default that benefits the Bridge Lenders (but not the other Lenders), in each case, except if this Agreement is amended to include such affirmative, negative or financial covenant or event of default for the benefit of all Lenders (it being understood that nothing in this clause (iii) shall limit the scheduled maturity date, interest rate, benchmark rate floors, fees, original issue discounts, commitment termination requirements (including mandatory reductions) and prepayment requirement (including mandatory prepayments) applicable to the Bridge Commitments or the Bridge Loans).

(c) The Bridge Commitments shall be effected pursuant to a Bridge Facility Agreement executed and delivered by the Company, each Bridge Lender providing such Bridge Commitments and the Bridge Facility Agent, subject to the satisfaction of such conditions precedent thereto as may be set forth in the Bridge Facility Agreement. The Bridge Facility Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Company and the Bridge Facility Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section, including any amendments necessary or appropriate to treat the Bridge Commitments and the Bridge Loans as a new Class of Commitments and Loans hereunder (including for purposes of voting) or to provide to the Bridge Facility Agent such rights (including indemnity and exculpation provisions) and obligations as are comparable to those of the Term Facility Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the Bridge Commitment of any Bridge Lender, such Bridge Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” (and a Lender in respect of Commitments and Loans of the

applicable Class) hereunder, and henceforth shall be entitled to all the rights of, and benefits accruing to, Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgements and other obligations of Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.

(d) The General Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt by the General Administrative Agent of any notice from the Company referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section and of the effectiveness of the Bridge Commitments, in each case advising the Lenders of the details thereof.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

The Company represents and warrants to the Lenders, on the Effective Date, the Term Funding Date and on each other date on which representations and warranties are required to be, or are deemed to be, made under the Loan Documents, that:

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions to be entered into by the Company are within the Company’s corporate or other organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational and, if required, stockholder or other equityholder action of the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes, and each other Loan Document, when executed and delivered by the Company, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, winding-up or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; Absence of Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority, except such as have been or, in the case of filings relating to the consummation of the Cavium Acquisition, substantially contemporaneously with the funding of Term Loans on the Term Funding Date will be, obtained or made and are (or will so be) in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any applicable law, including any order of any Governmental Authority, except to the extent

any such violations, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (c) will not violate the memorandum of association or bye-laws of the Company, (d) will not violate or result (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) in a default under any indenture or other agreement or instrument binding upon the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment, repurchase or redemption to be made by the Company or any Subsidiary, or give rise to a right of, or result in, any termination, cancellation, acceleration or right of renegotiation of any obligation thereunder, in each case except for the Cavium Debt Refinancing and except to the extent that the foregoing, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (e) except for Liens created under the Loan Documents, will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Company or any Subsidiary.

SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Company has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows as of and for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018, audited by and accompanied by the opinion of Deloitte & Touche LLP. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP.

(b) Since February 3, 2018, there has been no event or condition that has resulted, or would reasonably be expected to result, in a material adverse change in the business, assets, liabilities, operations or financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) The Company and each Subsidiary has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its property material to its business, subject to Liens permitted by Section 6.02 and except (i) for defects in title that, individually or in the aggregate, do not materially detract from the value of the affected property or materially interfere with the ordinary conduct of business of the Company or any Subsidiary or (ii) for any failure to do so that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Company and each Subsidiary owns, or is licensed to use, all patents, trademarks, copyrights, licenses, technology, software, domain names and other intellectual property that is necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, without conflict with the rights of any other Person, except to the extent any such conflict, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No patents, trademarks, copyrights, licenses, technology, software, domain names or other intellectual property used by the Company or any Subsidiary in the operation of its business infringes upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No claim or litigation regarding any patents, trademarks, copyrights, licenses, technology, software, domain names or other intellectual property owned or used by the Company or any Subsidiary is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, threatened in writing against the Company or any Subsidiary that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.06, there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any Governmental Authority or arbitrator pending against or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, threatened in writing against the Company or any Subsidiary that (i) would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) involve any of the Loan Documents.

(b) Except with respect to any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any Governmental Approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) is subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any fact, incident, event or condition that could reasonably be expected to form the basis for any Environmental Liability.

(c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the matters disclosed on Schedule 3.06 that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws. (a) The Company and each Subsidiary is in compliance with all laws, including all orders of Governmental Authorities, applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Company has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective officers and employees and, to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, their respective directors and agents are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of (a) the Company, any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any of their respective directors, officers or employees, or (b) to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent of the Company or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from any credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. The Transactions do not violate any Anti-Corruption Law or applicable Sanctions.

SECTION 3.08. Investment Company Status. The Company is not an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 3.09. Taxes. The Company and each Subsidiary has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except where (a) (i) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (ii) the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books reserves with respect thereto to the extent required by GAAP and (iii) such contest effectively suspends collection of the contested obligation and the enforcement of any Lien securing such obligation or (b) the failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Events have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur that would, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each ERISA Affiliate has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has (a) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Code in respect of any Plan, (b) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan, or made any amendment to any Plan that has resulted or could result in the imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Code, or (c) incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA that are not past due. The Company is not and will not be using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Plans in connection with the Loans or the Commitments.

SECTION 3.11. Solvency. On the Effective Date and on the Term Funding Date, in each case, after giving effect to the Transactions to occur on such date, including the making of the Loans and the application of the proceeds thereof, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will exceed, on a consolidated basis, their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Company and the Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability, on a consolidated basis, of their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, (c) the Company and the Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such liabilities become absolute and matured and (d) the Company and the Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will not be engaged in, and will not be about to engage in, business for which they have unreasonably small capital. For purposes of this Section, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that would reasonably be expected to become an actual and matured liability.

SECTION 3.12. Disclosure. (a) The Confidential Information Memorandum and each of the other written reports, financial statements, certificates and other written information (other than financial projections and other forward-looking information and information of a general economic or industry-specific nature) furnished

by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary to any Agent, any Arranger or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document is and will be, when furnished and taken as a whole, complete and correct in all material respects and does not and will not, when furnished and taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (in each case after giving effect to all supplements and updates provided thereto prior to the Effective Date). The financial projections and other forward-looking information that have been furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary to any Agent, any Arranger or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed by the Company to be reasonable at the time such financial projections or other forward-looking information are furnished to any Agent, any Arranger or any Lender, it being understood and agreed that financial projections and other forward-looking information are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are out of the Company’s, Cavium’s or their respective subsidiaries’ control, that no assurance can be given that any particular projections will be realized, that the financial projections or other forward-looking information is not a guarantee of financial performance and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material.

(b) If a Beneficial Ownership Certification is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(g)(ii), then, as of the Effective Date, the information set forth in such Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct in all respects. If a Beneficial Ownership Certification is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.04(a) or 9.19, then, as of the date of the delivery thereof, the information set forth in such Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct in all respects.

SECTION 3.13. Federal Reserve Regulations. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is engaged or will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, to purchase or carry margin stock, to extend credit for others to purchase or carry margin stock or for any purpose that entails, and no other action will be taken by the Company and the Subsidiaries that would result in, a violation of Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors.

SECTION 3.14. Use of Proceeds. The Company will (a) use the proceeds of the Terms Loans solely to finance, in part, the Cavium Acquisition, the Cavium Debt Refinancing and the payment of fees and expenses related to the Transactions and (b) use the proceeds of the Revolving Loans for general corporate purposes of the Company and the Subsidiaries.

SECTION 3.15. Ranking of Obligations. The obligations of the Company under the Loan Documents rank at least equally with all of the unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Company, and ahead of all subordinated Indebtedness, if any, of the Company.

SECTION 3.16. Choice of Law Provisions. The choice of law provisions set forth in Section 9.09 are legal, valid and binding under the laws of Bermuda, and the Company knows of no reason why the courts of Bermuda will not give effect to the choice of law of the State of New York (or, as applicable, the State of Delaware) as the proper law, other than through the exercise by any such court of discretionary powers under general principles of equity or public policy limitations in each case not specifically relating to such provisions. The Company has the power to submit, and has irrevocably submitted, to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and such irrevocable submission and the waiver by the Company of any immunity and any objection to the venue of the proceedings in such State or Federal court are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, and the Company knows of no reason why the courts of Bermuda would not give effect to such submission and waivers, other than through the exercise by any such court of discretionary powers under general principles of equity or based on public policy limitations in each case not specifically relating to such submission and waivers.

SECTION 3.17. No Immunity. The Company is subject to civil and commercial laws with respect to its obligations under the Loan Documents, and the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of any Loan Document constitute and will constitute private and commercial acts and not public or governmental acts.

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Company described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the General Administrative Agent may, and at the request of (i) prior to the earlier of the borrowing of the Term Loans on the Term Funding Date and the termination or expiration of all the Term Commitments, (x) in the case of any Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h), (i) or, solely with respect to failure to observe or perform any covenant in Section 6.04, (d) of this Section, the Required Lenders or (y) in the case of any other Event of Default, the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders or (ii) on and after the earlier of the borrowing of the Term Loans on the Term Funding Date and the termination or expiration of all the Term Commitments, the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Company, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (A) terminate the Revolving Commitments and, subject to the next succeeding paragraph, the Term Commitments, and thereupon the Revolving Commitments and/or the Term Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (B) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part (but ratably as among the Classes of Loans and the Loans of each Class at the time outstanding), in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Company hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company; and in the case of any event with respect to the Company described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section, the Revolving Commitments and the Term Commitments shall automatically terminate, the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Company hereunder, shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company.

During the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the earlier of the borrowing of the Term Loans on the Term Funding Date and the termination or expiration of all the Term Commitments, and notwithstanding (I) any failure by the Company or any Subsidiary to observe or perform the covenants set forth in Article V or VI hereof (other than failure to observe or perform any covenant contained in Section 6.04), (II) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other than any Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h), (i) or, with respect to failure to observe or perform any covenant contained in Section 6.04, (d) of this Section) or (III) subject to the parenthetical provisions in clauses (I) and (II) above, any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the General Administrative Agent, the Term Facility Agent or any Term Lender shall be entitled to (1) rescind, terminate or cancel the Term Facility or any of the Term Commitments hereunder, or exercise any right or remedy under this

Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent that to do so would prevent, limit or delay the making by any Term Lender of its Term Loan on the Term Funding Date, (2) in the case of any Term Lender, refuse to make its Term Loan on the Term Funding Date or (3) in the case of any Term Lender, exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim in respect of its Term Loan to the extent that to do so would prevent, limit or delay the making of its Term Loan on the Term Funding Date; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the borrowing of the Term Loans on the Term Funding Date shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with Section 9.02) of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the rights, remedies and entitlements of the General Administrative Agent, the Term Facility Agent and the Term Lenders with respect to any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 shall not be limited in the event that any such condition is not satisfied on the Term Funding Date, (y) after the funding of the Term Loans on the Term Funding Date, all of the rights, remedies and entitlements of the General Administrative Agent, the Term Facility Agent and the Term Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be available and may be exercised by them notwithstanding that such rights, remedies or entitlements were not available prior to such time as a result of the provisions of this paragraph and (z) nothing in this paragraph shall affect the rights, remedies or entitlements (or the ability to exercise the same) of (i) the Revolving Facility Agent or the Revolving Lenders or, insofar as such rights, remedies or entitlements relate to the Revolving Facility, the General Administrative Agent, including any such rights, remedies or entitlements set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) the General Administrative Agent, the Term Facility Agent or the Term Lenders with respect to any Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h), (i) or, with respect to failure to observe or perform any covenant contained in Section 6.04, (d) of this Section, including any such rights, remedies or entitlements set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph.

SECTION 7.02. Clean-up Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 7.01(c)), during the period from and including the Term Funding Date and ending on the date that is 30 days after the Term Funding Date (the “Clean-up Period”), if any representation or warranty (other than the Specified Representations) made by the Company in the Loan Documents or in any certificate or writing furnished pursuant to this Agreement (other than any certificate furnished pursuant to Section 4.02(f) or 4.02(g)) shall prove to have been incorrect when made solely by reason of any circumstance relating to the Cavium Business, such breach of such representation or warranty shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (other than for purposes of Section 4.03 or 5.02(a)) if and for so long as the circumstances giving rise to such breach of such representation or warranty (a) are capable of being remedied within the Clean-Up Period and the Company and the Subsidiaries are taking appropriate steps to remedy such breach, (b) do not have and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (c) were not procured by or approved by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (other than the Cavium Business). If the relevant circumstances are continuing on or after the expiration of the Clean-up Period, the breach of such representation or warranty, if otherwise constituting a Default or an Event of Default, shall then constitute a Default or an Event of Default, as the case may be, notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence (and without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.02 shall affect the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV.

ARTICLE VIII

The Agents

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints each of the entities named as an Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors to serve in the applicable capacity under the Loan Documents, and authorizes each Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The Person serving as any 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 an Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or any other Agent.

No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents with respect to such Agent, and each Agent’s duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties), (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose such Agent to liability or be contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and no Agent shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate thereof that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall 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, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan

Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment). Each Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to such Agent by the Company, any other Agent or any Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to such Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, 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 (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). Each Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender (or from another Agent on behalf of such Lender) prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it with reasonable care, 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 obligations under the Loan Documents of the Agents shall be several and not joint, and no Agent shall be responsible for any other Agent’s failure to perform its obligations under any Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Agent shall have any liability arising from, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered on account of, (i) any errors or omissions in the records maintained by any other Agent as contemplated by Section 9.04(b)(iv) (it being understood and agreed that, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders shall have consented to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document, each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, on the records maintained by any other Agent as contemplated by Section 9.04(b)(iv)) or (ii) any determination by any Agent that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or the effective date of such status, it being further understood and agreed that no Agent shall have any obligation to determine whether any Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

Each Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each 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 an Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any of its sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Subject to the terms of this paragraph, each Agent may resign at any time from its capacity as such. In connection with such resignation, such Agent shall give notice of its intent to resign to the other Agents, the Lenders and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) so long as no Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If the Person serving as an Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the other Agents, the Company and such Person remove such Person as an Agent and, subject to the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) so long as no Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Company and such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the other Agents, the Lenders and the Company, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the

retiring Agent for the account of any Person other than the retiring Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the retiring Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender. Following the effectiveness of any Agent’s resignation or removal from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 an Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, the Arrangers or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, the Arrangers or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, 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 Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that any Agent or one or more of its Affiliates may (but is not obligated to) act as administrative agent or a similar representative for the holders of any Cavium Acquisition Indebtedness. Each Lender and the Company waives any conflict of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against such Agent, any of its Affiliates or any Related Party of any of the foregoing any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto.

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

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to the Company under any United States (Federal or state) or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, winding-up or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the General Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether any Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any 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 Agents 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 any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Company 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 specific

purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section, none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company, each Agent and the Required Lenders and, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the General Administrative Agent (and, if any other Agent is a party thereto, such other Agent) and the Company, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) (A) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.02 without the written consent of the Majority in Interest of the Term Lenders or (B) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.03 without the written consent of the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders (it being understood and agreed, in each case, 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 4.03, as the case may be) 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 or 4.03), (ii) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (other than any waiver of any default interest applicable pursuant to Section 2.10(c)), (iv) postpone the scheduled maturity date of any Loan, or any date for the payment of any interest or 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 and adversely affected thereby, (v) change Section 2.15(b) or 2.15(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) change any of the provisions of this paragraph or the percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), provided that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the provisions of this paragraph and the definition of the term “Required Lenders” may be amended to include references to any new class of loans created under this Agreement (or to lenders extending such loans), or (vi) change any provisions of this Agreement in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders representing a Majority in Interest of each differently affected Class; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any Agent without the written consent of such Agent.

(i) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company and each of the Agents to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Agents shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment;

(ii) no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the first proviso of paragraph (b) of this Section and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly and adversely affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification;

(iii) in the case of any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in the first proviso of paragraph (b) of this Section, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of any Lender that receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by such Lender, and all other amounts owing to or accrued for the account of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, at the time such amendment, waiver or other modification becomes effective and whose Commitments terminate by the terms and upon the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or other modification;

(v) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended in the manner provided in Sections 2.11(b), 2.18 and 9.19;

(vi) in connection with the incurrence of any Cavium Acquisition Indebtedness, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company and each of the Agents to add any restrictive covenant or event of default in the manner provided in Section 1.07;

(vii) the Agents and the Company may, without the consent of any Lender or any other Person, amend or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document relating solely to the allocation or reallocation, as between themselves, of the rights and obligations hereunder of the Agents (including, if the Term Commitments have expired or terminated and no Term Loans shall be outstanding, but the Revolving Commitments shall be in effect, any such amendments or other modifications that would vest the Revolving Facility Agent with any or all of the rights set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document of any other Agent); and

(viii) an amendment to this Agreement contemplated by the last sentence of the definition of the term “Applicable Rate” may be made pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company, the Agents and the Required Lenders.

(d) The Applicable Facility Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, waivers or other modifications on behalf of such Lender. Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.

(b) The Company shall indemnify the Agents (and any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (but limited to a single U.S. counsel, a single local counsel in Bermuda and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each other relevant jurisdiction (which may be a single local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), in each case, for the Indemnitees, taken as a whole and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Company of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of U.S. counsel, another firm of Bermuda counsel and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each other relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for each group of similarly affected Indemnitees), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents of their obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (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 currently or formerly owned or operated by the Company or any Subsidiary (or Person that was formerly a Subsidiary) of any of them, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to the Company, any Subsidiary (or Person that was formerly a Subsidiary) of any of them, 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 and whether initiated against or by any party to the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (1) the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnitee Parties or (2) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnitee Parties under this Agreement or (B) arise from any dispute among the Indemnitees or any of their Related Indemnitee Parties, other than any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding against any Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other titled person in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as such and other than any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Company or any of its Affiliates. Each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund and return promptly any and all amounts actually paid by the Company to such Indemnitee under this paragraph for any losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or expenses to the extent such Indemnitee is subsequently determined, by a court of competent jurisdiction

by final and nonappealable judgment, to not be entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. This paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent that the Company fails indefeasibly to pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; 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 such Agent (or such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any such sub-agent). For purposes of this Section, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans, unused Revolving Commitments and Term Loans (or, prior to the funding of the Term Loans on the Term Funding Date, Term Commitments) at the time outstanding or in effect (or most recently outstanding or in effect, if none of the foregoing shall be outstanding or in effect at such time).

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Syndication Agents, and the Documentation Agents shall not assert, or permit any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each of them hereby waives, any claim against the Company, 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; provided, that nothing in this paragraph (e) shall limit the Company’s indemnity and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section or separately agreed.

(f) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

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, sub-agents of any Agent, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the foregoing) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(A) the Company; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required (1) in the case of Term Commitments and Term Loans, (x) for an assignment to a Specified Permitted Lender, (y) after the Term Funding Date, for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (z) after the Term Funding Date, if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, (2) in the case of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans, (x) for an assignment to a Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund of a Revolving Lender or (y) if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall have occurred and be continuing and (3) for any assignment between Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Bank USA and Xxxxxxx Sachs Lending Partners LLC; provided further, in each case, that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Applicable Facility Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the Applicable Facility Agent; provided that no consent of the Applicable Facility Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or 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 Applicable Facility Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Applicable Facility Agent otherwise consents; provided that (1) no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall have occurred and be continuing and (2) the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Applicable Facility Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(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 (B) 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 Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Applicable Facility Agent an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that only one such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments from any Lender or its Approved Funds to one or more other Approved Funds of such Lender; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender of the applicable Class, shall deliver to the Applicable Facility Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States (Federal or State) and foreign securities laws.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform) 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 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 9.03 and 9.17); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 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 Section 9.04(c).

(iv) The Applicable Facility Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption with respect to the Term Facility or the Revolving Facility, as the case may be, delivered to it and records of the names and addresses of the Lenders of the applicable Class, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender of the applicable Class pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company, the Agents 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 Company, any other Agent and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

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

obtained and that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Applicable Facility Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company or any Agent, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans of any Class); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Company, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and/or 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 or any other Loan Document; 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 or requires the approval of all the Lenders. The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (x) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.16 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (y) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14 with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.16(b) with respect to any Participant. 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 that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain records of 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or other rights and/or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person

except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that any such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, no Agent (in its capacity as an Agent) shall have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or grant to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant 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.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company 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 or thereto 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 any of the Agents, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders or any Related Party of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Loan Document was executed and delivered or any credit was extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any interest accrued on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid (other than contingent obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection as to which no claim has been made) and so long as any of the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15(d), 2.15(e), 9.03 and 9.17 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 and the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) 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 and the other Loan Documents 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, including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates with respect to the Term Facility under the Commitment Letter and any commitment advices with respect to the Term Facility or the

Revolving Facility submitted by any Lender (but do not supersede (a) except as may be set forth in the Bridge Facility Agreement, the commitments under the Commitment Letter with respect to, and as defined in, the Bridge Facility or any other provision of the Commitment Letter or any Fee Letter with respect to the Bridge Facility and (b) any other provisions of the Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect). Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the General Administrative Agent and the General Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, 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 facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) The words “execution”, “execute”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement (including any Assignment and Assumptions, amendments and other notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on the Platform, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as 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 notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the Agents are under any obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

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 applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or by such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Company against any of and all the obligations then due of the Company 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 of the Company are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and each Affiliate of any Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or Affiliate may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Company and each of the Agents promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York; provided that (i) the interpretation of the definition of the term “Material Adverse Effect on the Acquired Companies” and whether or not a Material Adverse Effect on the Acquired Companies has occurred, (ii) the determination of the accuracy of any Cavium Business Representations and whether as a result of any failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct the Company or any of its Affiliates (A) have the right to not consummate the Cavium Acquisition or to terminate their respective obligations or (B) otherwise do not have an obligation to close, in each case, under the Cavium Acquisition Agreement and (iii) the determination of whether the Cavium Acquisition has been consummated pursuant to and on the terms set forth in the Cavium Acquisition Agreement, in each case, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York and of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought by it or any of its Affiliates shall be brought, and shall be heard and determined, exclusively in such United States District Court or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, such Supreme Court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, 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 shall affect any right that any Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Company or any of its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that 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 suit, action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) 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.

(e) In the event the Company or any of its assets has or hereafter acquires, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any immunity from jurisdiction, legal proceedings, attachment (whether before or after judgment), execution, judgment or setoff, the Company hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives such immunity.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY 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, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties, including accountants, legal counsel and other agents and advisors, it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made either are informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential or are subject to customary confidentiality obligations of employment or professional practice, provided that the disclosing Person shall be responsible for its Affiliates’ compliance with keeping the Information confidential in accordance with this Section, (b) to the extent required or requested by any Governmental Authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) (in which case such Person agrees to inform

the Company promptly thereof prior to such disclosure to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any Governmental Authority exercising examination or regulatory authority)), (c) to the extent required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case such Person agrees to inform the Company promptly thereof prior to such disclosure to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder or any Transactions, (f) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section (which shall be deemed to include those required to be made in order to obtain access to information posted on IntraLinks, SyndTrak or any other Platform), to (i) any assignee of or Participant in (or its Related Parties), or any prospective assignee of or Participant in (or its Related Parties), any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company or any Subsidiary and their respective obligations, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Company or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein, (h) with the consent of the Company, (i) to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that such information is limited to the information about this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (j) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company or any Subsidiary that is not known by such Agent, Lender or Affiliate to be prohibited from disclosing such Information to such Person by a legal, contractual, or fiduciary obligation owed to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (k) to any credit insurance provider relating to the Company and its Obligations. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company or any Subsidiary relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or its businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from the Company or any Subsidiary 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. It is agreed that, notwithstanding the restrictions of any prior confidentiality agreement binding on any Agent or any Arranger, such Persons may disclose Information as provided in this Section.

SECTION 9.13. 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 that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan 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 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify the Company in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 9.15. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Company, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Company, the Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agents, the Lenders or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and its Affiliates, and none of the Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders or their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives and releases any claims that it or any of its Affiliates may have against the Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders or 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.

SECTION 9.16. Non-Public Information. (a) Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Company or any Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI. Each Lender represents to the Company and each Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in

100

accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States (Federal or state) and foreign securities laws.

(b) The Company and each Lender acknowledges that, if information furnished by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is being distributed by any Agent through the Platform, (i) such Agent may post any information that the Company has indicated as containing MNPI solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives and (ii) if the Company has not indicated whether any information furnished by it pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement contains MNPI, such Agent reserves the right to post such information solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives. The Company agrees to clearly designate all information provided to any Agent by or on behalf of the Company that is suitable to be made available to Public Side Lender Representatives, and each Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such designation by the Company without liability or responsibility for the independent verification thereof.

(c) If the Company does not file this Agreement with the SEC, then the Company hereby authorizes each Agent to distribute the execution version of this Agreement and the Loan Documents to all Lenders, including their Public Side Lender Representatives. The Company acknowledges its understanding that Lenders, including their Public Side Lender Representatives, may be trading in securities of the Company and its Affiliates while in possession of the Loan Documents.

(d) The Company represents and warrants that none of the information contained in the Loan Documents constitutes or contains MNPI. To the extent that any of the executed Loan Documents at any time constitutes MNPI, the Company agrees that it will promptly make such information publicly available by press release or public filing with the SEC.

SECTION 9.17. Judgment Currency. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in dollars into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction dollars could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of each party hereto in respect of any sum due to any other party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than dollars, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in

101

the relevant jurisdiction purchase dollars with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in dollars, such party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such deficiency. The obligations of the parties contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.18. 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 the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, 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 Lender party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

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

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

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, 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 9.19. Permitted Reorganization. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company may become a wholly-owned subsidiary of a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “New Holding Company”) by means of a merger of the Company with and into a newly organized wholly owned subsidiary of the New Holding Company (the “Permitted Reorganization Merger Subsidiary”), which shall be organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, or another transaction or series of transactions that result in the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the New Holding Company, provided that:

(a) (i) each of the New Holding Company and the Permitted Reorganization Merger Subsidiary shall be newly organized solely for the purpose of engaging in the Permitted Reorganization and, prior to the consummation of the Permitted Reorganization, shall not have been engaged in any business

102

activities or conducted any operations other than in connection with or as contemplated by the Permitted Reorganization and shall not own any material assets and (ii) prior to the consummation of the Permitted Reorganization, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall sell, dispose or otherwise transfer any of their assets to the New Holding Company or the Permitted Reorganization Merger Subsidiary;

(b) prior to the consummation of the Permitted Reorganization, the Company, the New Holding Company and the Agents shall enter into an agreement in writing pursuant to which this Agreement shall be amended as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Company and the Agents, to reflect (i) the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the New Holding Company, (ii) the New Holding Company providing the Parent Company Guarantee and the Parent Company Guarantee constituting a Loan Document, (iii) subject to clause (iv) below, the New Holding Company becoming bound hereby and by the other Loan Documents as if it were the original “Company”, including for purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III hereof, the covenants set forth in Articles V and VI hereof and the Events of Default set forth in Article VII hereof, and (iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (iii) above, the Company remaining the primary obligor in respect of the Loans and all the other Obligations, including any such amendments to provide that (A) references to the Company will be modified to be references to the New Holding Company (including such references in clause (a) of the definition of Change of Control and clause (a) of the definition of Material Adverse Effect) or to each of the Company and the New Holding Company (including such references in clause (b) of the definition of Change of Control, clause (b) of the definition of Material Adverse Effect, the definition of Indemnified Taxes and Sections 3.02, 3.03(c), 3.08, 3.15, 3.19 and 4.03(a)), as the context of the original reference requires, except that all references to the Company in Article II shall, except for any technical modifications deemed necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Company and the Agents (including technical modifications to Sections 2.14 and 2.15(c)), remain as references solely to the Company, (B) consolidated financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 shall be the applicable consolidated financial statements of the New Holding Company and (C) all calculations of financial ratios or financial metrics that are determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be determined on a consolidated basis for the New Holding Company and its subsidiaries, it being agreed that the Company shall in any event constitute a Material Subsidiary); provided that a copy of such agreement shall have been provided by the Agents to the Lenders and the Agents shall not have received, within 10 Business Days of the date a copy of such agreement is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendments (it being understood that in the absence of such written notice from the Required Lenders, such amendments shall become effective at the end of such period, without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement);

103

(c) prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Permitted Reorganization, (i) the New Holding Company shall execute and deliver to the Agents a guarantee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, pursuant to which the New Holding Company shall unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee all the Obligations of the Company (the “Parent Company Guarantee”), and (ii) the New Holding Company shall deliver to the Agents such documents, certificates and opinions as any of the Agents may reasonably request relating to the New Holding Company or the Parent Company Guarantee, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents;

(d) in the event the Company is to merge with and into the Permitted Reorganization Merger Subsidiary, the requirements of Section 6.04(a) with respect to such merger shall have been, or substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Permitted Reorganization shall be, satisfied; and

(e) the Lenders shall have received, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the consummation of the Permitted Reorganization, (i) all documentation and other information regarding the New Holding Company required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the USA PATRIOT Act, that has been reasonably requested by any Agent or any Lender and (ii) to the extent the New Holding Company qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to the New Holding Company.
