(a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with any minimum borrowing amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 4 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and (v) the amount of the total Commitments at such time.

Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate (x) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof and (B) five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, and (y) in the case of trade Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 180 days after the date of issuance thereof and (B) 30 days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that any standby Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration (none of which, in any event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in the preceding clause (x)(B) above) so long as such Letter of Credit permits the applicable Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof within a time period during such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Maturity Date shall be extended pursuant to Section 2.21, “Maturity Date” as referenced in this clause (c) shall refer to the Maturity Date as extended pursuant to Section 2.21; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including Section 2.21 hereof) or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Maturity Date, as such term is used in reference to any Issuing Bank or any Letter of Credit issued thereby, may not be extended without the prior written consent of the applicable Issuing Bank.

(d) Participations. (i) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.5, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to any Borrower for any reason; it being understood and agreed that (x) with respect to each LC Disbursement denominated in dollars, such payment shall be denominated in dollars and (y) with respect to each LC Disbursement denominated in an Alternative Currency, such payment shall be denominated in such Alternative Currency or, in the case of a Designated LC Disbursement, in dollars. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default, the reduction or termination of the Commitments or any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or the relevant currency markets generally, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(ii) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Bank any resulting liability to any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Requesting Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office an amount equal to such LC Disbursement (x) in the case of an LC Disbursement denominated in dollars or Canadian Dollars, in such currency not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day (the “Reimbursement Date”) immediately following the date on which such Requesting Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement and (y) in the case of an LC Disbursement denominated in Euro or Sterling, in such currency not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Reimbursement Date; provided that in the case of an LC Disbursement denominated in an Alternative Currency, reimbursement of such LC Disbursement shall be paid in dollars in accordance with clause (x) above if either (A) the applicable Issuing Bank (at its option) shall have specified in its notice of such LC Disbursement to the Requesting Borrower that such Issuing Bank will require reimbursement in dollars or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in dollars, the Requesting Borrower shall have notified such Issuing Bank promptly following receipt of the notice of such LC Disbursement that the Requesting Borrower will reimburse such Issuing Bank in dollars. In the case of any LC Disbursement that has been designated for reimbursement in dollars in accordance with the proviso to the foregoing sentence (a “Designated LC Disbursement”) or any LC Disbursement that is denominated in dollars, the Lead Borrower may, at its election and subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 or Section 2.4, as applicable, that such payment be financed with a Revolving Borrowing (which Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate) or a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Requesting Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. In the case of a Designated LC Disbursement, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Requesting Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Designated LC Disbursement promptly following the determination thereof. If the Requesting Borrower fails to timely reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement on the applicable Reimbursement Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Requesting Borrower in respect thereof (expressed in dollars or, in the case of an LC Disbursement denominated in an Alternative Currency, the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof) and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from such Requesting Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.6 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.6 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Requesting Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.5 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by each Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.5, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Borrower’s Obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, within the period stipulated by the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. After such examination, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Requesting Borrower by telecopy or electronic mail of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Requesting Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Requesting Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Requesting Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; provided that, if the Requesting Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.5, then Section 2.12(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.5 to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within one (1) Business Day after the Lead Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Lead Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to the Dollar Equivalent of 103 % of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (all obligations to deposit such cash collateral, “Cash Collateral Obligations”); provided that the Cash Collateral Obligations shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as Collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made solely in Cash Equivalents at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Lead Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations. If the Lead Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default as set forth above or as required in the two immediately succeeding sentences, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Lead Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or such LC Exposure no longer exceeds (or no longer exceeds 103% of) the LC Sublimit or the Applicable LC Fronting Sublimit, as applicable. If the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank notifies the Lead Borrower at any time that the LC Exposure at such time exceeds the LC Sublimit, or the face amount of Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank exceeds such Issuing Bank’s Applicable LC Fronting Sublimit, other than as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, then, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Lead Borrower shall provide cash collateral in accordance with this clause (i) for the LC Exposure in an amount not less than the amount of such excess. If at any time, including any Revaluation Date, solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the LC Exposure at such time exceeds 103% of the LC Sublimit, or the face amount of Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank exceeds 103% of such Issuing Bank’s Applicable LC Fronting Sublimit, then within three (3) Business Days after the receipt of such notice the Lead Borrower shall provide cash collateral in accordance with this clause (i) for the LC Exposure in an amount not less than the amount of such excess.

(j) Designation of Issuing Banks. The Lead Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, designate as an Issuing Bank one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by (i) the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent by such designated Lender on the Fourth Restatement Effective Date of a counterpart to this Agreement in its capacity as an Issuing Bank or (ii) an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, executed by each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated Lender and, from and after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date or the effective date of such agreement, as the case may be, (x) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (y) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder.

(k) Termination or Resignation of an Issuing Bank. (i) The Lead Borrower may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, which termination shall become effective upon the earliest of (x) such Issuing Bank acknowledging receipt of such notice, (y) the 10th Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof, and (z) at any time on and after the date that such Issuing Bank or any of its direct or indirect parent companies satisfies any provision of clause (d) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender”, the date such notice is delivered by the Lead Borrower. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit. Without limiting the foregoing, following the delivery by the Lead Borrower of any notice of termination in respect of any Issuing Bank (and regardless of whether such notice has become effective), such terminated Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit.

(ii) Any Issuing Bank may, upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, resign as an Issuing Bank; provided that such resignation shall not become effective until the Lead Borrower shall have appointed (and upon receipt by the Lead Borrower of any notice described in this Section 2.5(k)(ii), the Lead Borrower shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly appoint) a successor Issuing Bank (which may be a Lender) reasonably acceptable to the Lead Borrower willing to accept its appointment as successor Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the delivery by an Issuing Bank of a notice of resignation pursuant to this Section 2.5(k)(ii), prior to the effectiveness of such resignation such Issuing Bank shall remain obligated to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement, including the obligation to issue additional Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of any resignation pursuant to this Section 2.5(k)(ii), (x) the resigning Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to the effectiveness of such resignation, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit, (y) the successor Issuing Bank shall become a party to this Agreement as an Issuing Bank and shall assume the resigning Issuing Bank’s Applicable LC Fronting Sublimit and its obligation to issue additional Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (z) the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the resigning Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b).

(l) Existing Letters of Credit. On the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, each letter of credit issued or deemed to be issued under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement listed on Schedule 2.5(l), to the extent outstanding, shall be automatically and without further action by the parties thereto (and without payment of any fees otherwise due upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit) deemed converted into Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.5 and subject to the provisions hereof.

Section 2.6 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of Same Day Funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, in the case of any Loan denominated in dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency (or in the case of (x) Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time or (y) Swingline Loans, as provided in Section 2.4(b)) to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower (other than Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing) by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account or accounts designated by the Lead Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that, if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans (other than a Mandatory Borrowing) denominated in dollars, there are LC Disbursements that have not yet been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrowers or Swingline Loans then outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such LC Disbursements, second, to the payment in full of any such Swingline Loans, and third, to the applicable Borrower as otherwise provided above.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.6 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate. If such Borrower and such Lender shall both pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim that such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.7 Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request (or as otherwise determined in accordance with Section 2.3). Thereafter, the Lead Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.7. The Lead Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be continued in the same currency or must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.7, the Lead Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telecopy or electronic mail by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if the Lead Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such request shall be irrevocable and shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in writing (an “Interest Election Request”) in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and signed by the Lead Borrower.

(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 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 Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

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

(e) If the Lead Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the same currency with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing in dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing in dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

Section 2.8 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Lead Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments, in each case without premium or penalty; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Lead Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.

(c) The Lead Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.8 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Lead Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Lead Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or another transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Lead Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be applied to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

Section 2.9 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt; Borrower Obligations Joint and Several; Release of the Lead Borrower. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then-unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then-unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15^th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two (2) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made to any Borrower, the Borrowers shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

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

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.9 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein (absent manifest error); provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (each such promissory note being called a “Note” and all such promissory notes being collectively called the “Notes”). In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.4) be represented by one or more promissory notes substantially in such form payable to the payee named therein (or to such payee and its registered assigns).

(f) Subject to Section 9.25, the Obligations of each Borrower (including each Designated Borrower (other than each Foreign Designated Borrower)) shall be joint and several in nature.

Section 2.10 Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers 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 Section 2.15), subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 2.10.

(b) The Lead Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telecopy or electronic mail of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in dollars, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of a prepayment of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.8, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.8. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.2. Each partial prepayment of a Swingline Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Swingline Borrowing as provided in Section 2.4. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12 and any costs incurred as contemplated by Section 2.15.

(c) (i) If at any time other than as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all of the Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the total Commitments, the Borrowers shall immediately repay Borrowings or cash collateralize LC Exposure in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.5(i), in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the aggregate amount of all Revolving Credit Exposures to be less than or equal to the total Commitments.

(ii) If at any time, solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all of the Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds 103% of the total Commitments, the Borrowers shall (x) immediately repay Borrowings or (y) cash collateralize LC Exposure in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to and within the time period required by Section 2.5(i), in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y) in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the aggregate amount of all Revolving Credit Exposure to be less than or equal to the total Commitments.

Section 2.11 Fees. (a) The Lead Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the relevant percentage set forth in the row entitled “Commitment Fee” in the definition of “Applicable Rate” on the daily amount by which the Commitment of such Lender exceeds the Revolving Credit Exposure (without giving effect to Swingline Loans) of such Lender during the period from and including the Fourth Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date. All commitment fees shall be payable in dollars, 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 Lead Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Fourth Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to the applicable Issuing Bank a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it, which shall accrue, commencing with the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, at a rate per annum equal to 0.125% on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Banks during the period from and including the Fourth Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees and commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, presentment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. All fees referred to in clause (ii) of the foregoing sentence shall be calculated and payable in dollars; provided that, at the election of the applicable Issuing Bank or (solely to the extent permitted by the applicable Issuing Bank’s policies and procedures) the Lead Borrower, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency such fees shall be calculated and payable in such Alternative Currency. Unless otherwise specified above, participation fees and fronting fees accrued through the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

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

(d) The Lead Borrower agrees to pay to the applicable Arranger the applicable fees agreed to between Holdings and such Arranger in any Fee Letter or as otherwise agreed in writing between them in the manner and at the times set forth therein.

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Same Day Funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. The amount of such fees required to be paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.12 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

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

(c) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.12, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.12 or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.12.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12 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 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 any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (x) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Citi Prime Rate and (y) interest in respect of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars or Sterling shall in each case be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day); provided that in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, interest hereunder shall be computed in accordance with such market practice. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Eurocurrency Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (i) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Borrowing for such Interest Period and the circumstances described in Section 2.13(b)(i) do not apply; or (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Borrowing for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Lead Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the Eurocurrency Rate that is unavailable because the conditions described in clauses (a) and (b) above have been satisfied (such unavailable rate, the “Unavailable Rate”), shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Unavailable Rate, (x) if such Borrowing Request is for a Borrowing in dollars or if an alternative rate of interest is not in effect pursuant to clause (y) below, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing (in dollars) or (y) if such Borrowing Request is for a Borrowing in an Alternative Currency, the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, propose to the Lead Borrower in writing an alternative interest rate for the affected Borrowing that, if accepted by the Lead Borrower in a writing delivered to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day of the Lead Borrower’s receipt of such written proposal, shall apply with respect to the affected Borrowing until (1) the Administrative Agent notifies the Lead Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to the notice described above no longer exist, (2) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loan (or its Loans) included in the affected Borrowing or (3) any Lender determines that any law or regulation has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower written notice thereof; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, all Eurocurrency Rates (other than any then applicable Unavailable Rates) shall remain available for Borrowings until such rate shall be an Unavailable Rate.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Lead Borrower) that the Required Lenders have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the Eurocurrency Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurocurrency Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurocurrency Rate shall permanently or indefinitely no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),

then, after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Eurocurrency Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of the Eurocurrency Rate and that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.2, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Lead Borrower without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Loans or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Loans or Interest Periods for the applicable currency) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified therein (to the extent applicable).

Section 2.14 Increased Costs and 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 by, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate);

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Recipient of any payments to be made by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder to any Taxes on its Loans, loan principal, Letters of Credit, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes, (C) Other Taxes, which Other Taxes, solely for purposes of this Section 2.14(a)(iii), include any Taxes that would be Other Taxes but for the fact that they are imposed with respect to an assignment) or (D) Connection Income Taxes;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, subject to paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 2.14, the Borrowers (other than any Foreign Designated Borrower) will jointly and severally pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such amounts shall be proportionate to the amounts that such Lender or such Issuing Bank charges other borrowers or account parties for such additional costs incurred or reductions suffered on loans or letters of credit, as the case may be, similarly situated to the Borrowers in connection with substantially similar facilities as reasonably determined by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, acting in good faith. In addition, the Borrowers will jointly and severally pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be (i) required by a central banking or financial regulatory authority with regulatory authority over such Lender to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits obtained in the London or the European interbank market (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocable to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) and (ii) required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and certified to the Lead Borrower), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Lead Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional costs shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments hereunder or the Loans made, or participations in Letters of Credit held, by such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank, or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, subject to paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 2.14, the Borrowers (other than any Foreign Designated Borrower) will jointly and severally pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that such amounts shall be proportionate to the amounts that such Lender or such Issuing Bank charges other borrowers or account parties for such reductions suffered on loans or letters of credit, as the case may be, similarly situated to the Borrowers in connection with substantially similar facilities as reasonably determined by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, acting in good faith.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to Section 2.18, if any Lender shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower that any Change in Law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make Eurocurrency Loans or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Loans hereunder (i) with respect to Loans denominated in dollars (A) upon receipt of such notification, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in dollars, (B) each Eurocurrency Loan of such Lender denominated in dollars will automatically be converted to ABR Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor or, if earlier, on the date specified by such Lender in such notification (which date shall be no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by applicable law) and (C) the obligation of such Lender to make or continue affected Eurocurrency Loans denominated in dollars or to convert Loans into Eurocurrency Loans denominated in dollars shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify the Lead Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (ii) with respect to Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, (A) upon receipt of such notification, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such Alternative Currency and (B) such Loans of such Lender shall be made or maintained, as applicable, at the Canadian prime rate, in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, or in the case of Loans denominated in Euro or Sterling, at a rate for short term borrowings of such Alternative Currency determined in a customary manner in good faith by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Lead Borrower.

(d) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, under this Section 2.14, including in reasonable detail a description of the basis for such claim for compensation and a calculation of such amount or amounts, shall be delivered to the Lead Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs, reductions or other amounts incurred more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank notifies the Lead Borrower in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs, reductions or amounts and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs, reductions or amounts is retroactive (or has retroactive effect), then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure (other than as a result of a failure of a Lender to fund a Loan required to be funded hereunder) to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Lead Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18 or Section 2.21 or (e) any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan or LC Disbursement (or interest due thereon) denominated in dollars or an Alternative Currency (other than a Designated LC Disbursement) on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency then, in any such event, the Borrowers (other than any Foreign Designated Borrower) shall, on a joint and several basis, compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the performance of any foreign exchange contract) in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.15. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits of a comparable currency, amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Lead Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Lead Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.16 Taxes. (a) For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA and the term “Lender” includes an Issuing Bank.

(b) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by 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 make such deduction or withholding and timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making such deduction or withholding (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) In addition, each Loan Party shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or at the option of the Administrative Agent shall timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(d) Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes referred to in Section 2.16(b) or (c) by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) This Section 2.16(f) shall not apply with respect to any UK Loan, to which the provisions of Section 2.16(g) shall apply instead. (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 Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.16(f)(ii) and (h)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender, if it is legally entitled to do so, shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party;

(B) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a portfolio interest certificate in compliance with Section 2.16(f)(ii)(C)(x), IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a certificate in compliance with Section 2.16(f)(ii)(C)(x) on behalf of such direct or indirect partner or partners.

(E) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, following reasonable request, any other form prescribed by applicable law as the basis for claiming an exemption from or a reduction in withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

In addition, any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

Each Lender further 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 Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) The provisions of this Section 2.16(g) shall apply with respect to any UK Tax Deduction.

(i) Each Loan Party shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a UK Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a UK Tax Deduction) notify the Administrative Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Administrative Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall promptly notify the relevant Loan Party.

(ii) A payment shall not be increased under Section 2.16(b) by reason of a UK Tax Deduction in respect of a UK Loan if on the date on which the payment falls due:

(A) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a UK Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a UK Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a UK Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or UK Treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or

(B) the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of category (B) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender and: (a) an officer of HM Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the ITA which relates to the payment and that Lender has received from the Loan Party making the payment a certified copy of that Direction; and (b) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or

(C) the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of category (B) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender and: (a) the relevant Lender has not given a UK Tax Confirmation to the UK Borrower; and (b) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a UK Tax Confirmation to the UK Borrower, on the basis that the UK Tax Confirmation would have enabled the UK Borrower to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of section 930 of the ITA; or

(D) the relevant Lender is a UK Treaty Lender and the UK Borrower is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the UK Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under Section 2.16(g)(v) and Section 2.16(g)(vi).

(iii) If a Loan Party is required to make a UK Tax Deduction, that Loan Party shall make that UK Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that UK Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

(iv) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.16(e), within thirty days of making either a UK Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that UK Tax Deduction, the Loan Party making that UK Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for the Lender entitled to the payment a statement under section 975 of the ITA or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Lender that the UK Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

(A) Subject to Section 2.16(g)(v)(B) below, a UK Treaty Lender and each UK Borrower which makes a payment in respect of any Loan to which that UK Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a UK Tax Deduction;

(B) A UK Treaty Lender which (i) is a Lender on the date of this Agreement that holds a passport under the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name in Schedule 2.16(g); and (ii) becomes a party after the date of this Agreement that holds a passport under the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a party, and, having done so, that Lender shall be under no obligation pursuant to Section 2.16(g)(v)(A) above.

(v) If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 2.16(g)(v)(B) and:

(A) the UK Borrower making a payment to that Lender has not made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender; or

(B) the UK Borrower making a payment to that Lender has made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender but (i) that UK Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs, or (ii) HM Revenue & Customs has not given the UK Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without a UK Tax Deduction within 30 Business Days of the date of the UK Borrower DTTP Filing,

and, in each case, the UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing, that Lender and the UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for that UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a UK Tax Deduction.

(vi) If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 2.16(g)(v)(B), no UK Borrower shall make a UK Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise agrees.

(vii) A UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a UK Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender.

(viii) Each UK Non-Bank Lender (i) which is a Lender on the date of this Agreement gives a UK Tax Confirmation to the relevant Loan Party by entering into this Agreement, and (ii) shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the UK Tax Confirmation.

(ix) Each Lender which becomes a Lender after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the Assignment and Assumption which it executes on becoming a party, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to any Loan Party, which of the following categories it falls in:

(A) not a UK Qualifying Lender;

(B) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender); or

and if such a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 2.16(g)(x) then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Section 2.16(g) (including by each Loan Party) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform each UK Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment and Assumption shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Section 2.16(g)(x).

(h) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails 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 Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date.

(i) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.4(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 the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.16(i).

(j) VAT.

(i) All amounts expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by any party to a Recipient which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply and, accordingly, subject to Section 2.16(j)(ii)(B) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient to any party under a Loan Document and such Recipient is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party must pay to such Recipient (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Recipient must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party).

(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient (the “Supplier”) to any other Recipient (the “Other Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Other Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(A) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Other Recipient must (where this paragraph (A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Other Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Other Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(B) (where the Other Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Other Recipient, pay to the Other Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Other Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(iii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Recipient for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Recipient for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Recipient reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv) Any reference in this Section 2.16(j) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union)).

(v) In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Recipient, that party must promptly provide such Recipient with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Recipient’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

(k) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent 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 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), 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 2.16 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); provided, that (w) any Lender or the Administrative Agent may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, whether to seek a refund for any Taxes; (x) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender or the Administrative Agent as a result of a disallowance or reduction of any Tax refund with respect to which such Lender or the Administrative Agent has made a payment to the indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be treated as an Indemnified Tax for which the indemnifying party is obligated to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.16 without any exclusions or defenses; (y) nothing in this Section 2.16 shall require the Lender or the Administrative Agent to disclose any confidential information to a Loan Party (including, without limitation, its tax returns or their calculations); and (z) neither any Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16 for so long as a Default or Event of Default exists. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(k), the indemnified party shall be required to pay only such amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.16(k) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in no better and no worse position taking account of its Tax liabilities 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.

Section 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Except as provided in Section 2.5(e), each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, reimbursements of LC Disbursements, Cash Collateral Obligations or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section 2.16, or otherwise) prior to (x) in the case of payments required to be made in dollars or Canadian Dollars, 12:00 noon, New York City time, and (y) in the case of payments required to be made in Euro or Sterling, 8:00 a.m., New York City time, in each case on the date when due, in Same Day Funds, without set off or counterclaim. Each Borrower shall make each reimbursement of LC Disbursements required to be made by it prior to the time for such payments set forth in Section 2.5(e). Any amounts received after the time set forth above or in Section 2.5(e), as applicable, on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office and except that payments to the Swingline Lender, payments to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein, and payments pursuant to Section 2.14, Section 2.15 Section 2.16 and Section 9.3, in each case shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any law or regulation from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment or performance hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment or performance 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 hereunder shall be made in dollars unless otherwise specified or permitted herein or in any other Loan Document.

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

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in Swingline Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in Swingline Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans or participations in Swingline Loans and LC Disbursements, as applicable, of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans or participations in Swingline Loans and LC Disbursements; 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 any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans or participations in Swingline Loans and LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender or any Issuing Bank acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or such Issuing Bank were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder that a Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.4(c), 2.5(d) or (e), 2.6 or paragraph (d) of this Section 2.17, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under, or any Lender ceases to make, fund, or maintain Eurocurrency Loans, or to convert Loans into Eurocurrency Loans, as a result of any condition described in, Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.16, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would permit such Lender to continue to make, fund and maintain Eurocurrency Loans and to convert Loans into Eurocurrency Loans, and (iii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 or submits a notification of illegality under Section 2.14(c), (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or (iv) any Lender is a Declining Lender under Section 2.21, then the Lead Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.4), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.16) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Lead Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the applicable Issuing Banks, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, participations in Swingline Loans and LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law, (v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, (x) the applicable assignee shall have consented to, or shall consent to, the applicable amendment, waiver or consent and (y) the Lead Borrower exercises its rights pursuant to this clause (b) with respect to all Non-Consenting Lenders relating to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent and (vi) in the case of any assignment in respect of a Lender where such Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) is an Issuing Bank, the Lead Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with such assignment and transfer, terminate such Lender (or, at the request of any such Affiliate, such Affiliate) as an Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.5(k). A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Lead Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

Section 2.19 Revolver Increases. (a) The Lead Borrower may, from time to time after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Commitments be increased by a minimum amount equal to $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (each a “Commitment Increase”), to be effective as of a date (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the applicable Increase Date, or shall occur as a result thereof and (ii) at no time shall the total aggregate amount of Commitment Increases hereunder, when added to the aggregate amount of Incremental Facilities established pursuant to Section 2.20 below, exceed $250,000,000.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and each Issuing Bank of a request by the Lead Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). In addition, the Lead Borrower may notify Eligible Assignees (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a request by the Lead Borrower for a Commitment Increase and request that such Eligible Assignee participate in such Commitment Increase on the terms in this Agreement. Each Lender and Eligible Assignee that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment. If the Lenders and the Eligible Assignees notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders and the Eligible Assignees willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The failure of any Lender and any Eligible Assignee to respond by the Commitment Date shall be deemed to be a refusal of such Lender to increase its Commitment.

(c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders and Eligible Assignees are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase. Any Eligible Assignee participating in a Commitment Increase shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender; provided, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(d) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.19(c) (each such Eligible Assignee, an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the second last sentence of Section 2.19(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) a joinder agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Assuming Lender, the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, duly executed by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (in the case of each of the foregoing, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), such Assuming Lender, and each Borrower; and

(ii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(e) On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.19, in the event any Loans are then outstanding, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Assuming Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in Same Day Funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required, and the Administrative Agent shall make such adjustments with respect to the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders and the Assuming Lenders, in order to cause, after giving effect to the applicable Commitment Increase and the application of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders (including any assignments), the Revolving Credit Exposure to be held ratably by all Lenders as of such date in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (after giving effect to the Commitment Increase), (ii) Borrowers shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Loans made to it as of such Increase Date (with each such borrowing to consist of Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Lead Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2) and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.15 as a result of such prepayment.

(f) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.17 or Section 9.2 to the contrary.

(g) The occurrence of each Increase Date shall require and shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by each Borrower on such Increase Date that the conditions set forth in this Section 2.19 to such Commitment Increase and in Section 4.2 have been satisfied on such Increase Date.

Section 2.20 Incremental Facilities. (a) The Lead Borrower may, from time to time after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more tranches of term loans hereunder (collectively, the “Incremental Term Loans”) or one or more additional tranches of revolving commitments hereunder (collectively, the “Incremental Revolving Commitments” and, together with any Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Facilities”); provided that (i) the aggregate amount of such Incremental Facilities, taken together with all Incremental Facilities previously incurred pursuant to this Section 2.20 and the aggregate amount of Commitment Increases made pursuant to Section 2.19, does not exceed $250,000,000, (ii) the final stated maturity date of such tranche of Incremental Facilities shall not be earlier than the Maturity Date in effect at the time such Incremental Facilities are entered into, (iii) such tranche of Incremental Facilities shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Loans, (iv) such Incremental Facilities shall not be, and shall not be permitted to be, guaranteed by any Subsidiary of Holdings that is not a Guarantor under this Agreement and (v) the terms, conditions and documentation governing such Incremental Facilities (including, without limitation, all representations, covenants, defaults, guaranties and remedies, but excluding economic terms), taken as a whole, shall be substantially the same as, or less favorable to the Lenders or Additional Lenders (as defined below) providing such Incremental Facilities, than those terms and conditions applicable to the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Loans (except (i) for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest Maturity Date of the Revolving Loans or (ii) to the extent such more favorable terms are incorporated into the Loan Documents for the benefit of all existing Lenders (which may be accomplished with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower and without the consent of any Lenders)) as determined by the Lead Borrower in its reasonable discretion. Incremental Facilities shall, at the election of the Lead Borrower, be available in dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies.

(b) Each notice from the Lead Borrower pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.20 shall set forth the requested amount and, in reasonable detail, the proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Facilities. Incremental Facilities may be made by any existing Lender or by any Eligible Assignee (any such Eligible Assignee providing such Incremental Facilities at such time being called an “Additional Lender” and, together with the existing Lenders providing such Incremental Facilities at such time, the “Incremental Lenders”). Incremental Facilities shall be established pursuant to an amendment, restatement or amendment and restatement (an “Incremental Amendment”) of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Lead Borrower, each Incremental Lender and the Administrative Agent, in each case without the consent of any other Person. The Incremental Amendment may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent prior to the Collateral and Guarantee Release Date, the Lead Borrower shall cause to be delivered mortgage modifications and title endorsements with respect to each Mortgaged Property, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into such Incremental Amendments. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions as the parties thereto shall agree and, in the case of an Incremental Amendment to which an Eligible Assignee is party as an Additional Lender, the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent, and, solely in the case of Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank. Nothing contained in this Section 2.20 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to provide Incremental Facilities, at any time.

(c) The entry into any Incremental Facilities hereunder shall require and shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by each Borrower on the date on which such Incremental Facilities are entered into that the conditions set forth in this Section 2.20 and in Section 4.2 to the establishment of Incremental Facilities have been satisfied as of such date.

Section 2.21 Extension of Maturity Date. (a) The Lead Borrower may, by delivery of a Maturity Date Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each of the Lenders) not less than 30 days prior to the then-existing maturity date for Commitments hereunder (the “Existing Maturity Date”), request that the Lenders extend the Existing Maturity Date in accordance with this Section 2.21; provided that the Lead Borrower may not make more than two Maturity Date Extension Requests following the Fourth Restatement Effective Date. Each Maturity Date Extension Request shall (i) specify the date to which the Maturity Date is sought to be extended; provided that such date is no more than one calendar year from the then scheduled Maturity Date, (ii) specify the changes, if any, to the Applicable Rate to be applied in determining the interest payable on Loans of, and fees payable hereunder to, Consenting Lenders (as defined below) in respect of that portion of their Commitments (and related Loans) extended to such new Maturity Date and the time as of which such changes will become effective (which may be prior to the Existing Maturity Date), and (iii) specify any other amendments or modifications to this Agreement to be effected in connection with such Maturity Date Extension Request, provided that no such changes or modifications requiring approvals pursuant to Section 9.2(b) shall become effective prior to the then-existing Maturity Date unless such other approvals have been obtained. In the event a Maturity Date Extension Request shall have been delivered by the Lead Borrower, each Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to agree to the extension of the Existing Maturity Date and other matters contemplated thereby on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (each Lender agreeing to the Maturity Date Extension Request being referred to herein as a “Consenting Lender” and each Lender not agreeing thereto being referred to herein as a “Declining Lender”), which right may be exercised by written notice thereof, specifying the maximum amount of the Commitment of such Lender with respect to which such Lender agrees to the extension of the Maturity Date, delivered to the Lead Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) not later than a day to be agreed upon by the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent following the date on which the Maturity Date Extension Request shall have been delivered by the Lead Borrower (it being understood that any Lender that shall have failed to exercise such right as set forth above by such date shall be deemed to be a Declining Lender). If a Lender elects to extend only a portion of its then-existing Commitment, it will be deemed for purposes hereof to be a Consenting Lender in respect of such extended portion and a Declining Lender in respect of the remaining portion of its Commitment. If Consenting Lenders shall have agreed to such Maturity Date Extension Request in respect of Commitments held by them, then, subject to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.21, on the date specified in the Maturity Date Extension Request as the effective date thereof (the “Extension Effective Date”), (i) the Existing Maturity Date of the applicable Commitments shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended to such date as shall be specified therein, (ii) the terms and conditions of the Commitments of the Consenting Lenders (including interest and fees (including Letter of Credit fees) payable in respect thereof), shall be modified as set forth in the Maturity Date Extension Request and (iii) such other modifications and amendments hereto specified in the Maturity Date Extension Request shall (subject to any required approvals pursuant to Section 9.2(b) (including those of the Required Lenders having been obtained, if applicable), except that any such other modifications and amendments that do not take effect until the Existing Maturity Date shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Consenting Lenders) become effective.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 9.4, at any time prior to the Existing Maturity Date, to replace a Declining Lender (for the avoidance of doubt, only in respect of that portion of such Lender’s Commitments subject to a Maturity Date Extension Request that it has not agreed to extend) with a Lender or any Eligible Assignee that will agree to such Maturity Date Extension Request, and any such replacement Lender shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender in respect of the Commitment assigned to and assumed by it on and after the effective time of such replacement.

(i) not later than the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the Existing Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall make prepayments of Loans and shall provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit in the manner set forth in Section 2.10, such that, after giving effect to such prepayments and such provision of cash collateral, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures outstanding as of such date will not exceed the aggregate Commitments of the Consenting Lenders extended pursuant to this Section 2.21 (and no Borrower shall be permitted thereafter to request any Loan or any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures outstanding would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments so extended); and

(ii) on the Existing Maturity Date, the Commitment of each Declining Lender shall, to the extent not assumed, assigned or transferred as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 2.21, terminate, and the Borrowers shall repay all the Revolving Loans of each Declining Lender, to the extent such Revolving Loans shall not have been so purchased, assigned and transferred, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and other amounts owing to such Declining Lender hereunder (accordingly, the Commitment of any Consenting Lender shall, to the extent the amount of such Commitment exceeds the amount set forth in the notice delivered by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.21 and to the extent not assumed, assigned or transferred as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 2.21, be permanently reduced by the amount of such excess, and, to the extent not assumed, assigned or transferred as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 2.21, the Borrowers shall prepay the proportionate part of the outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of such Consenting Lender, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the Existing Maturity Date and all fees and other amounts payable in respect thereof on or prior to the Existing Maturity Date), it being understood that such repayments may be funded with the proceeds of new Revolving Borrowings made simultaneously with such repayments by the Consenting Lenders, which such Revolving Borrowings shall be made ratably by the Consenting Lenders in accordance with their extended Commitments.

(d) The occurrence of each Extension Effective Date shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by each Borrower on such Extension Effective Date that the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have been satisfied on such Extension Effective Date.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is hereby agreed that no extension of an Existing Maturity Date in accordance with the express terms of this Section 2.21, or any amendment or modification of the terms and conditions of the Commitments and Loans of the Consenting Lenders effected pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to (i) violate the last sentence of Section 2.8(c) or Section 2.17(c) or any other provision of this Agreement requiring the ratable reduction of Commitments or the ratable sharing of payments or (ii) require the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders under Section 9.2(b).

(f) Without the consent of any other Person, the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Consenting Lenders (and, to the extent required pursuant to the proviso of Section 2.5(c), the applicable Issuing Banks) may enter into an amendment to this Agreement to effect such modifications as may be necessary to reflect the terms of any Maturity Date Extension Request that has become effective in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.21.

Section 2.22 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.2); provided, that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, if such Defaulting Lender is an affected Lender, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof;

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated (effective as of the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (for the purposes of such reallocation, such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall be disregarded in determining the Non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective Applicable Percentages) but only to the extent (x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) after giving effect to any such reallocation, each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 9.22, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within three (3) Business Days following written notice to the Lead Borrower by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure that has not been reallocated and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Banks only the Borrowers’ Obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that has not been reallocated (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.5(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s unreallocated LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Banks ratably based on the portion of such LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Lead Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.22, and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with this Section 2.22 (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

In the event that (x) a direct or indirect parent company of a Lender becomes the subject of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law following the Fourth Restatement Effective Date and for so long as such proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall continue or (y) the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan, and such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

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

Section 2.23 Designated Borrowers; Appointment of Lead Borrower as Agent.

(a) The Lead Borrower may at any time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ prior written notice from the Lead Borrower to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) designate any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Lead Borrower that is organized in a Designated Borrower Jurisdiction (each such Subsidiary, an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Borrower hereunder (each such Subsidiary, a “Designated Borrower”) by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H (or such other form as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the effectiveness of each such designation, and the ability of each Applicant Borrower to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein and to accede to the rights of a Borrower under the Loan Documents, shall be subject to satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with Section 9.2) of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.4. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the effectiveness of any designation of a Designated Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.23.

(b) Each Subsidiary of the Lead Borrower that becomes a “Designated Borrower” pursuant to this Section 2.23 hereby irrevocably appoints the Lead Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto and thereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders to any such Borrower hereunder. The Lead Borrower hereby accepts such appointment. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Lead Borrower, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Lead Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower.

(c) The Lead Borrower may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ prior written notice from the Lead Borrower to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such, provided that either (x) there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made directly to such Designated Borrower, as of the effective date of such termination or (y) each other Borrower hereunder agrees, as of the effective date of such termination, to cause one or more of such other Borrowers to assume, pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower and any other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made to such Designated Borrower, in the case of clauses (x) and (y), without regard to the Guaranty or any other joint and several obligation of such Designated Borrower to repay any Loans made to any other Borrower. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Designated Borrower’s status.

(b) Subject to Sections 5.9 and 5.10, upon recording thereof in the appropriate recording office, each Mortgage shall be effective to create, in favor of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal, valid and enforceable perfected Liens on, and security interest in, all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Properties thereunder, subject only to Liens permitted under the Loan Documents, and when the Mortgages are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 5 to the Perfection Certificate (or, in the case of any Mortgage executed and delivered after the date thereof in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.9 and 5.10, when such Mortgage is filed in the offices specified in the local counsel opinion delivered with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.9 and 5.10), the Mortgages shall constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than Liens permitted under the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

Each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Bilateral LC Provider), the Swingline Lender and each of the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except, in each case, as set forth in the sixth paragraph of this Article, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no Borrower shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.2 or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Lead Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

121

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. 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, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

122

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, (a) the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks and the Lead Borrower and (b) the Lead Borrower may remove the Administrative Agent at any time on and after the date that the Administrative Agent or any of its direct or indirect parent companies satisfies any provision of clause (d) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender”, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank. Any such resignation or removal hereunder shall also constitute the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal as an Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder, and shall maintain all of its rights as an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be (as a Defaulting Lender, in the case of its removal pursuant to clause (b) above), with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Upon any such removal, the Lead Borrower shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000 with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank with an office in New York, New York. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000 with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank with an office in New York, New York; provided that, in the event that such successor or Administrative Agent appointed by the Required Lenders is not Citibank or any of its Affiliates, and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lead Borrower shall have the right to approve such successor Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If, following the resignation of the Administrative Agent, no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that, in the event that such successor Administrative Agent appointed by the resigning Administrative Agent is not Citibank or any of its Affiliates, and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lead Borrower shall have the right to approve such successor Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the removal of the Administrative Agent by the Lead Borrower as provided above, or upon the resignation effective date established in the Administrative Agent’s resignation notice and regardless of whether a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, (i) the removed or retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall nevertheless become effective and the removed or retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Article) and (ii) except for amount owed or otherwise payable from time to time to the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. The fees payable by Holdings or the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Lead Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed, retiring or retired Administrative Agent.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan, any reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement or any Cash Collateral Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (x) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, any reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement, any Cash Collateral Obligation and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.11 and 9.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (y) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.11 and 9.3.

123

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arrangers, and each Syndication Agent shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in their respective capacities, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

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

124

The Lenders and each other Secured Party (by becoming a party hereto or otherwise obtaining the benefit of any Guaranty or any Collateral) irrevocably authorize (i) any Guarantor to be released from its obligations under any Guaranty as contemplated by Section 9.17 and (ii) the Administrative Agent to acknowledge the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under such Guaranty and take any other actions in connection therewith, in each case in accordance with Section 9.17. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will reaffirm in writing the authorization granted in the immediately preceding sentence.

In addition, the Lenders and each other Secured Party (by becoming a party hereto or otherwise obtaining the benefit of any Guaranty or any Collateral) irrevocably agree that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released or subordinated, as applicable, and hereby irrevocably authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to release or subordinate any such Lien, in each case as contemplated by Section 9.17, and to execute, deliver, and file all documents reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower in connection therewith.

126

Section 9.2 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom by any Loan Party party thereto shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Except as provided for below, this Agreement or any provision hereof may not be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Lead Borrower and the Required Lenders, or by the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders (except that the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower may enter into any amendment of this Agreement in order to correct any obvious error or any immaterial technical error or omission therein without the consent of the Required Lenders); provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(i) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that any amendment or waiver to any condition precedent in Section 4.02 or any amendment or waiver with respect to a mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase in the Commitment of any Lender);

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan of any Lender or any reimbursement obligation owed in respect of any LC Disbursement made by any Issuing Bank or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable to any Lender hereunder, without the written consent of such Lender;

(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan of any Lender or any reimbursement obligation owed in respect of any LC Disbursement made by any Issuing Bank, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable to any Lender hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment to any Lender, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Lender’s Commitment, without the written consent of such Lender; provided, however, that notwithstanding clause (ii) or (iii) of this Section 9.2(b), only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of any Borrower to pay interest at the default rate set forth in Section 2.12(c);

(iv) change Section 2.17(b), Section 2.17(c) or any other Section hereof providing for the ratable treatment of the Lenders, in each case in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or change the definition of “Applicable Percentage”, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that the transactions contemplated in Section 2.19, Section 2.20 and Section 2.21 shall not be deemed to alter such pro rata sharing of payments);

127

(v) release (w) the Lead Borrower from Guaranteeing the Obligations of any other Borrower, (x) Holdings from Guaranteeing the Obligations, (y) all or substantially all of the Guarantors or (z) all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Loan Documents, in each case without the written consent of each Lender, except as expressly provided in each Guaranty and Security Agreement, as applicable, and except to the extent the release of any Guarantor or such Collateral (i) is permitted pursuant to Article VIII or Section 9.17 or (ii) occurs in connection with the Collateral and Guarantee Release Date (in each case, such release is automatic);

(vi) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.2 or the percentage referred to in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vii) change the definition of “Alternative Currency” or “Designated Borrower Jurisdiction”, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender; or

(viii) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.4 without the written consent of each Lender.

(i) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be;

(ii) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that:

(iii) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and

(iv) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each directly and adversely affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender,

(d) this Agreement may be waived, amended or modified as contemplated by Section 2.13(b), Section 2.19, Section 2.20, Section 2.21 and as otherwise specified in any other provision of this Agreement, subject in each case only to the consent of the parties described in such provision as being required for such amendment to become effective; and

128

(e) each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent on its behalf, and without further consent, to enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to correct any errors or omissions, if the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents.

Section 9.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) Each of Holdings and the Lead Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, taken as a whole, in each appropriate jurisdiction and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the affected Persons, taken as a whole, in each case, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of counsel for the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably required, one local counsel to all such Persons as necessary in each appropriate jurisdiction and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel for the affected Persons, taken as a whole, in each case, in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 9.3, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit if a Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) Each of Holdings and the Lead Borrower agrees, on a joint and several basis, to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Lender, and their respective Related Parties (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of or relating to any investigation, litigation or proceeding against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party related to (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or (iii) the release of Hazardous Materials at any property or facility currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its subsidiaries, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to Holdings or its subsidiaries, in each case regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower), including the reasonable and documented legal or other out-of-pocket expenses, fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for any Indemnitee in connection with the investigation or defense thereof; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available (v) with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that are indemnifiable under Section 2.16, (w) with respect to Excluded Taxes, (x) to the extent that such losses, claims, damages and liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) if arising from a material breach by such Indemnitee or one of its Affiliates of its express obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment), but excluding actions of an Indemnitee of an administrative nature performed by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such or (z) if arising from any dispute between and among Indemnitees that does not involve an act or omission by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment) other than any proceeding against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in their respective capacities. This Section 9.3(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from any non-Tax claim.

129

(c) To the extent that any of Holdings or the Lead Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.3, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (it being understood that such Borrower’s failure to pay any such amount shall not relieve such Borrower of any default in the payment thereof); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) Without limiting in any way the indemnification obligations of any of Holdings or the Lead Borrower pursuant to Section 9.3(b) or of the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.3(c), to the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, 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, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve any Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

130

131

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

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided that no such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in connection with an assignment by or to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Bank USA or any Affiliate thereof;

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

(E) no such assignment shall be made to (i) any Loan Party nor any Affiliate of a Loan Party or (ii) any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person, who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii); and

(F) in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

132

For the purposes of this Section 9.4, the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

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

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 9.4, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 9.3); 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 that Lender’s 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 9.4 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 9.4.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements (and any stated interest thereon) owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall 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 Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Loans (including principal and interest) are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of any Lender or its assigns in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register.

133

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.6(b), Section 2.17(d) or Section 9.3(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi) At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 9.4 to a Person that is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower the appropriate IRS forms, certificates and other information described in Section 2.16. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Loans or Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to this Agreement would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then no Borrower shall be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (but not to Holdings or any Subsidiary thereof or any natural person) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.2(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(iii) of this Section 9.4, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Section 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section 2.16 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive; provided, further that such Participant agrees to be subject to the obligations outlined in Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.

134

(ii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations under this Agreement) except to the Borrowers as provided in Section 9.4(c)(i) or to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and/or Section 1.163-5 of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining any Participant Register. 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.

(iii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or Section 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender or a Lender that is incorporated in a jurisdiction other than that in which the relevant Borrower is incorporated if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Lead Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16(f) and Section 2.16(g) as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.4 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 9.5 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Holdings or any Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 9.3 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

135

Section 9.6 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means (including in .pdf format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.7 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. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.7, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 9.8 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to Section 9.25, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other obligations at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Lender (or any branch or agencies thereof, wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the Obligations of the Loan Parties now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Lender under this Section 9.8 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

In connection with all aspects of each Transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of Holdings and the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Syndication Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Holdings and the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, the Syndication Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the Transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Syndication Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or any other Person in connection with the Loan Documents and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender nor any Lender has any obligation to Holdings or any Borrower with respect to the Transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Syndication Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Holdings and the Borrowers, and neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Holdings or any Borrower.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, if (i) a Subsidiary is a Guarantor solely as a result of its designation as a Designated Borrower hereunder (and would not otherwise be required to be a Guarantor pursuant to Section 5.9(a)), and (ii) such designation as a Designated Borrower is terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then on and after the date that such Subsidiary ceases to be a Designated Borrower hereunder, such Guarantor may, and in the discretion of the Lead Borrower upon notice in writing to the Administrative Agent specifying the reason for such release shall, be released from all of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party (including its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to the Collateral Documents) and any pledge of the Equity Interests in such Guarantor and the Collateral owned by such Guarantor, in each case pursuant to the Collateral Documents, shall be automatically released, and thereafter such Person shall no longer constitute a Guarantor (or a grantor or pledgor) under the Loan Documents, so long as such Guarantor is released from its obligations as a borrower under, an issuer of, or a guarantor of each item of Indebtedness described in clause (ii) of Section 9.17(a) above substantially simultaneously with its release as a Guarantor.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the Collateral and any other collateral security for the Obligations shall be released from any security interest or Lien created by the Loan Documents automatically (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than Secured Swap Obligations, Secured Cash Management Obligations, Secured Bilateral LC Obligations, indemnities and other contingent obligations with respect to which no claim for reimbursement has been made and Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized pursuant to arrangements mutually agreed between the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lead Borrower or with respect to which other arrangements have been made that are satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank), (ii) upon the Disposition of such Collateral to any Person other than a Loan Party pursuant to a transaction not restricted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent of a transaction otherwise prohibited hereby) (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) upon the occurrence of the Collateral and Guarantee Release Date or the designation of any Subsidiary as an Exempt Subsidiary (with such release being limited to the Collateral provided by such Subsidiary), (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (except in the case of a release of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in connection with a transaction not restricted by Section 6.3), which release shall require the written consent of all Lenders), (v) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.17, or (vi) as expressly provided in any Collateral Document; and, subject to Section 9.17(d), the Administrative Agent shall then deliver to the Loan Parties all Collateral and any other collateral held under the Loan Documents and related documents in the custody or possession of such Person and, if reasonably requested by any Loan Party, shall execute and deliver (to the extent applicable) to such Loan Party for filing in each office in which any financing statement relative to such collateral, or any part thereof, shall have been filed, a termination statement under the Uniform Commercial Code or like statute in any other jurisdiction releasing or evidencing the release of the Administrative Agent’s interest therein, and such other documents and instruments as any Loan Party may reasonably request at the cost and expense of the Borrowers. In addition, subject to Section 9.17(d) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, upon the request of the Lead Borrower and pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may subordinate its Lien on any Collateral to the holder of any Lien on such Collateral that is permitted under Section 6.2 (other than clause (cc) thereof). Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, on, or no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Collateral and Guarantee Release Date, the Administrative Agent shall file or cause to be filed all Mortgage releases with respect to each Mortgaged Property and otherwise provide written evidence to the Lead Borrower of the release of each Mortgage and the suspension of the terms of Section 5.5(d). The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it at the reasonable request of a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 9.17(c).

142

(d) At the request of the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall, at the Lead Borrower’s expense, execute such additional documents as are necessary to acknowledge any such release or subordination, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 9.17 and in accordance with the applicable Guaranty or Collateral Document, so long as the Lead Borrower shall have provided the Administrative Agent a certificate, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower, certifying as to satisfaction of the applicable requirements set forth in this Section 9.17 and the release or subordination, as applicable, of such Guaranty or Collateral in compliance with this Agreement and the applicable Loan Document.

Section 9.18 Judgment Currency.

(a) The obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in the applicable Alternative Currency (pursuant to such obligation, the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the Dollar Equivalent or Alternative Currency Equivalent (as applicable), and in the case of other currencies, the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

143

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, each Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. If any amount paid to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender under this Section 9.18 is greater than the amount originally due under this Section 9.18, the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lenders, as applicable, shall return the excess amount to such Loan Party (or to the Person legally entitled thereto).

(c) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or Alternative Currency Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 9.18, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

Section 9.19 Effect of the Amendment and Restatement of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. (a) Upon the occurrence of the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, (i) the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement, (ii) each of the commitments of the Existing Lenders under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall be terminated and, to the extent that such Existing Lenders constitute Lenders hereunder, shall be replaced with their respective Commitments hereunder, (iii) concurrently with the application of funds contemplated by clause (iv) below, the principal amount of all loans then outstanding under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Existing Loans”) shall be deemed to have been repaid in full and Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Loans shall be deemed to have been made by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentage, except that the interest periods and, if applicable, Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Loans shall be the same as those applicable to such Existing Loans and shall not be reset upon such deemed borrowing, (iv) each Lender that, as a result of the application of the foregoing clause (iii), shall be deemed to hold Loans in an amount greater than the amount of Existing Loans held by it immediately prior to the Fourth Restatement Effective Date shall fund an amount equal to such excess to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby directed by the Lead Borrower to, make such transfers of such funds to such other Lenders or Existing Lenders or otherwise as shall be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 9.19(a), (v) any then-existing LC Exposure (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of the Existing Lenders under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have been reallocated as LC Exposure (as defined in this Agreement) among the Lenders hereunder in accordance with their Applicable Percentages and (vi) all accrued and unpaid interest and fees (including commitment fees, letter of credit fees and facing fees) and other amounts owing under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (except the principal amount of the loans thereunder and to the extent letters of credit thereunder are converted to Letters of Credit hereunder in accordance with Section 2.5(l)) shall have been repaid by the borrower under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, whether or not such interest, fees or other amounts are actually due and payable at such time pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, do not constitute a novation of the Obligations under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents as in effect prior to the Fourth Restatement Effective Date and which remain outstanding as of the Fourth Restatement Effective Date.

144

(b) This amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a consent to any other amendment, restatement or waiver or other modification, whether or not similar and, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms and conditions of the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect.

(c) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, each Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

145

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the other Loan Documents, each party hereto (including Holdings, the Lead Borrower and each Lender constituting a “Lender” under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and with such “Lenders” constituting “Required Lenders” under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) agrees that in connection with the foregoing, the Former Agent hereby resigns as “Administrative Agent” under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and is hereby discharged from all of its duties and obligations as “Administrative Agent” under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and any other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). As of and after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, the Administrative Agent and not the Former Agent shall be the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. The parties hereto agree that Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, in its capacity as the Former Agent shall bear no responsibility or liability for (i) any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or (ii) any event, circumstance, condition or action, arising, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), after the effectiveness of this Agreement, with respect to the Collateral, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any other “Loan Document” (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). Concurrently with the effectiveness of this Agreement, all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the Former Agent are hereby vested in the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent hereby accepts such vesting of such rights, powers, duties and obligations. The Former Agent makes no representations of any kind, nor assumes any responsibility or liability whatsoever, with regard to (A) the Collateral (including the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence thereof), this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any other “Loan Document” (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) or any documentation or instrument furnished pursuant thereto, (B) the creation, validity, genuineness, enforceability, sufficiency, value or collectability of the Obligations, (C) the validity, extent, creation, amount, value or existence of, or the perfection or priority of any lien on, the Collateral, (D) the financial condition of Holdings, the Lead Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any other obligor or the performance or observance by any Person of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any other “Loan Document” (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), (E) any recital, statement, information, warranty or representation made or delivered by any Person in or in connection with any Loan Document, (F) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document and (G) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document. Nothing herein shall limit or be deemed to be an assignment of the rights of the Former Agent under Section 9.3 of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with respect to any action or inaction on the part of the Former Agent prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement or that otherwise survive the resignation or removal of the Former Agent under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and each of Holdings, the Lead Borrower and the Existing Lenders parties hereto reaffirms their respective obligations under Section 9.3 of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with respect to any action or inaction on the part of the Former Agent prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect and continue for the benefit of the Former Agent. Holdings and the Lead Borrower agree to reimburse the Former Agent promptly upon demand for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees or expenses whatsoever incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this clause (d). In connection with the resignation under this clause (d) the Administrative Agent and its legal counsel are hereby authorized to file amendments to any UCC financing statements filed in connection with the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as necessary and appropriate to perfect any of the security interests or liens in the Collateral and, for the avoidance of doubt, are also authorized to sign any modifications to the Loan Documents (including any Mortgage Modifications) necessary and appropriate to perfect any of the security interests or liens in the Collateral. Each Lender executing this Agreement that is a “Lender” under and as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement hereby reaffirms the exculpatory provisions of Article VIII of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with respect to the Former Agent and acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this clause (d) in its capacity as an Existing Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the provisions of this clause (d) shall inure to the benefit of the Former Agent and the Former Agent shall be an intended beneficiary thereof in all respects. Any provision set forth in any “Loan Document” (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) that by its terms expressly survives the termination of such “Loan Document” (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 9.3 and Article VIII of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, shall, in each case, continue in effect for the benefit of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, any sub-agent thereof and/or their respective Related Parties to the extent set forth in such Loan Document (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).

146

Section 9.20 Intercreditor Agreement. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement and the Lenders acknowledge that any such intercreditor agreement shall be binding upon the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents are expressly subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (if in effect) and any other intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant hereto and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the Intercreditor Agreement (if in effect) and any other intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant hereto is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement (if in effect) and any other intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant hereto. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (if in effect) or any other such intercreditor agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (if in effect) or such other intercreditor agreement, as applicable, shall govern.

Section 9.21 Secured Swap Agreements; Secured Cash Management Obligations; Secured Bilateral LC Facilities. No Hedge Bank, Cash Management Bank or Bilateral LC Provider that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guarantee or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any amendment or waiver) or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.21 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, any Secured Swap Obligations, any Secured Cash Management Obligations or any Secured Bilateral LC Obligations unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Swap Obligations, such Secured Cash Management Obligations or such Secured Bilateral LC Obligations, as the case may be, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank, applicable Cash Management Bank or the applicable Bilateral LC Provider.

Section 9.22 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, 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 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.

147

Section 9.23 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

Section 9.24 Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,

148

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Section 9.25 Several Liability. Notwithstanding anything to contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Obligations of each Foreign Designated Borrower are several and not joint and no Foreign Designated Borrower shall be responsible for any other Borrower’s Obligations or failure to pay its Obligations hereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other benefits accruing to each Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Creditors and hereby covenants and agrees with each other Guarantor and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Creditors as follows:

1. GUARANTY. (a) Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees as a primary obligor and not merely as surety to the Creditors the full and punctual payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, as applicable) of all Obligations of the Borrowers and each Guarantor (other than such Guarantor’s own Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each party hereto understands, agrees and confirms that, if any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations becomes due and payable, subject to the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period expressly set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Creditors may enforce this Guaranty up to the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations against such Guarantor without proceeding against any other Guarantor (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or any Borrower, and such Guarantor agrees to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and/or the other Creditors to whom Guaranteed Obligations are owed on demand. Each Guarantor further agrees that the due and punctual payment of the Obligations of any Borrower may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any Obligation. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

Exhibit E

Page 4

(b) Additionally, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, guarantees the payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations whether or not due or payable by any Borrower upon the occurrence in respect of any Borrower of any of the events specified in Section 7(h) or (i) of the Credit Agreement, and unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, jointly and severally, promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Creditors, or order, following the occurrence in respect of any Borrower of any of the events specified in Section 7(h) or (i) of the Credit Agreement, on demand.

2. LIABILITY OF GUARANTORS ABSOLUTE. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is primary, absolute, joint and several, and unconditional and is exclusive and independent of any other guaranty of the indebtedness of any Borrower whether executed by such Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Borrower or any Loan Party, (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a Guarantor (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking by such Person, (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Borrower, (e) the failure of a Guarantor to receive any benefit from or as a result of its execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty, (f) any payment made to any Creditor on any of the Guaranteed Obligations which the Administrative Agent and/or any Creditor repays any Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding or (g) any action or inaction by the Creditors as contemplated in Section 5 hereof.

3. OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTORS INDEPENDENT. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of any of the Obligations (collectively, the “Credit Agreement Guarantors”) or any Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Credit Agreement Guarantor or any Borrower and whether or not any other Credit Agreement Guarantor or any Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) the benefits of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the applicable Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Guarantor.

4. WAIVERS BY GUARANTORS. (a) Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of the existence, creation or incurrence of any new or additional liability to which it may apply, and waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liabilities, suit or taking of other action by the Administrative Agent or any Creditor against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon (including such Guarantor, any other Credit Agreement Guarantor or any Borrower with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations), and each Guarantor further hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice or proof of reliance by any Creditor upon this Guaranty, and the Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended, modified, supplemented or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty.

Exhibit E

Page 5

(b) Each Guarantor waives any right to require the Creditors to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other Credit Agreement Guarantor or any other party; or (ii) pursue any other remedy in the Creditors’ power under the Loan Documents. Each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any other Credit Agreement Guarantor other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations or the termination of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any Borrower or any other Credit Agreement Guarantor, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower other than payment in full in cash or the termination of the Credit Agreement of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Creditors may, at their election, exercise any other right or remedy the Creditors may have against any Borrower or any Credit Agreement Guarantor in accordance with the Loan Documents without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any other Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been Paid in Full. As used herein, “Paid in Full” or shall mean the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, other than (i) Secured Swap Obligations, (ii) Secured Bilateral LC Obligations, (iii) Secured Cash Management Obligations, (iv) indemnities and other contingent obligations not yet then due and payable and as to which no claim for reimbursement has been made, (v) Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized pursuant to arrangements mutually agreed between the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lead Borrower or with respect to which other arrangements have been made that are satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank and (vi) other provisions of the Loan Documents, in each case, which by the express terms of such Loan Documents survive the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of all Commitments. “Payment in Full” shall have the corresponding meaning. Each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Borrower or any other Credit Agreement Guarantor.

(c) Each Guarantor has knowledge and assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s and each other Guarantor’s financial condition, affairs and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and has adequate means to obtain from each Borrower and each other Guarantor on an ongoing basis information relating thereto and each Borrower’s and each other Guarantor’s ability to pay and perform its respective Guaranteed Obligations for so long as such Guarantor is a party to this Guaranty and the Guaranty is in effect. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Creditors shall have no obligation to investigate the financial condition or affairs of any Borrower or any other Guarantor for the benefit of such Guarantor nor to advise such Guarantor of any fact respecting, or any change in, the financial condition, assets or affairs of any Borrower or any other Guarantor that might become known to any Creditor at any time.

Exhibit E

Page 6

(d) Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth in Section 3 and in this Section 4 is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

5. RIGHTS OF CREDITORS. Subject to Section 4, any Creditor may (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) at any time and from time to time without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, without incurring responsibility to such Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations or liabilities of such Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change, increase or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement (in the case of a Bank Creditor) and Section 12 of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon or the principal amount thereof), and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, increased, accelerated, renewed or altered;

(b) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Borrower, any other Loan Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower to creditors of such Borrower other than the Creditors;

(e) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Borrower to the Creditors regardless of what liabilities of such Borrower remain unpaid;

(f) in the case of a Bank Creditor, consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, any of the Loan Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the Loan Documents or any of such other instruments or agreements, in each case in accordance with the terms thereof; and/or

(g) take any other action or omit to take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor from its liabilities under this Guaranty (including, without limitation, any action or omission whatsoever that might otherwise vary the risk of such Guarantor or constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or that might otherwise limit recourse against such Guarantor).

Exhibit E

Page 7

No invalidity, illegality, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Guaranty, and this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

6. CONTINUING GUARANTY. This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Creditor in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Creditor would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for any Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Borrower or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on such Borrower’s behalf.

7. SUBROGATION. No Guarantor will exercise any right of subrogation that it may have against any Borrower or any other Guarantor arising under this Guaranty until the Guaranteed Obligations have been Paid in Full. It is also agreed and understood that upon payment by any Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, such Guarantor hereby waives all of its rights against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation until the Payment in Full of all the Guaranteed Obligations owed by any Borrower to the Creditors.

8. GUARANTY ENFORCEABLE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Guaranty, the Creditors agree (by their acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Creditors upon the terms of this Guaranty. The Creditors further agree (by their acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee, partner, member or stockholder of any Guarantor (except to the extent such partner, member or stockholder is also a Guarantor hereunder).

9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE GUARANTORS. As of the date hereof, each Guarantor represents and warrants that:

(a) such Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and (to the extent the concept is applicable in such jurisdiction) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite corporate or other organizational power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in (to the extent the concept is applicable in such jurisdiction), every jurisdiction where such qualification is required;

16. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS; AND WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. (a) THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty may be brought in the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County or of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and, by execution and delivery of this Guaranty, each party hereto hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each party to this Guaranty irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 14. Each party to this Guaranty hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under any other Loan Document to which such Person is a party that such service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective.

17. RELEASE OF GUARANTORS FROM GUARANTY. Section 9.17 of the Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit E

Page 11

18. CONTRIBUTION. At any time a payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is made under this Guaranty, the right of contribution of each Guarantor against each other Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Guarantor to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a “Relevant Payment”) is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty. At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Guarantor that results in the aggregate payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor who has made payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Guarantors multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Guarantor. A Guarantor’s right of contribution pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment to the time of each computation; provided that no Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably Paid in Full in cash and all Commitments and all Letters of Credit have been terminated, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Guarantor’s right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 18 against any other Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Guaranty. As used in this Section 18: (i) each Guarantor’s “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Guarantors; (ii) the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such Guarantor’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Guaranty) on such date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Guarantor that is released from this Guaranty pursuant to Section 17 hereof shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 18, and at the time of any such release, if the released Guarantor had an Aggregate Excess Amount or an Aggregate Deficit Amount, the same shall be deemed reduced to $0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Guarantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided above) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Guarantors. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 18, each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have no right of contribution or subrogation against any other Guarantor in respect of such payment until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably Paid in Full in cash. Each of the Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive its contribution right against any other Guarantor to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such other Guarantor would remain solvent, in the determination of the Required Lenders.

19. LIMITATION ON GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS. Each Guarantor and each Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any similar Federal or state law, or any other Debtor Relief Law applicable to such Guarantor. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor and each Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby irrevocably agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor shall be limited to such amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution pursuant to any agreement providing for such rights among such Guarantor and the other Guarantors, result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

20. COUNTERPARTS. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Guaranty by telecopy or other electronic imaging means (including in .pdf format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Guaranty.

21. PAYMENTS. All payments made by any Guarantor hereunder will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and on the same basis as payments are made by each Borrower under Sections 2.16 and 2.17 of the Credit Agreement.

22. ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS. It is understood and agreed that any Person that is required to provide a Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to Section 5.9(a) of the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor hereunder in accordance with the terms of Section 5.9(a) of the Credit Agreement.

23. HEADINGS DESCRIPTIVE. The headings of the several Sections of this Guaranty are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Guaranty.

24. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT. This Guaranty amends and restates the Existing Guaranty Agreement in its entirety and, upon effectiveness of this Guaranty, the terms and provisions of the Existing Guaranty Agreement shall, subject to the following sentence, be superseded hereby and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by this Guaranty rather than the Existing Guaranty Agreement. This Guaranty is given in substitution for the Existing Guaranty Agreement, is in no way intended to constitute a novation of the Existing Guaranty Agreement and the guarantees in the Existing Guaranty Agreement hereby are renewed and extended and shall be continuing. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any waivers, express or implied by course of conduct or otherwise, amendments or other actions (or failures to act) under the Existing Guaranty Agreement shall be of no use in interpreting the rights and duties of the parties under this Agreement.

25. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REGARDING SUPPORTED QFCS. Each party to this Guaranty acknowledges the provisions of Section 9.23 of the Credit Agreement and agrees to be bound by those provisions as fully as if set forth herein.

Exhibit K

Page 11

(b) the Pledged Equity and Pledged Debt (solely with respect to Pledged Debt issued by a Person other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, to the best of each Grantor’s knowledge) have been duly and validly authorized and issued by the issuers thereof and (i) in the case of Pledged Equity, is fully paid and nonassessable and (ii) in the case of Pledged Debt (solely with respect to Pledged Debt issued by a Person other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, to the best of each Grantor’s knowledge), is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each issuer thereof, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing;

(e) each of the Grantors has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or contemplated;

(f) no consent or approval of any Governmental Authority, any securities exchange or any other Person was or is necessary to the validity of the pledge effected hereby (other than such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect); and

(g) the execution and delivery by each Grantor of this Agreement and the pledge of the Pledged Collateral pledged by such Grantor pursuant hereto create a legal, valid, enforceable and first-priority (subject, as to priority, to Liens not prohibited by Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement) security interest in such Pledged Collateral and (i) in the case of Pledged Securities, upon the earlier of (x) delivery of such Pledged Securities to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement and (y) the filing of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code financing statements described in Section 3.01(b) and (ii) in the case of all other Pledged Collateral, upon the filing of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code financing statements described in Section 3.01(b), shall create a perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of such Pledged Collateral.

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

(j) The Security Interest constitutes a valid security interest in the Article 9 Collateral, and (i) when all appropriate filings, recordings, registrations and/or notifications are made (and all other actions are taken as may be necessary in connection therewith (including payment of any applicable filing and recording taxes)) as may be required under applicable law to perfect the Security Interest and (ii) upon the taking of possession or control by the Collateral Agent of such Article 9 Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control (which possession or control shall be given to the Collateral Agent to the extent required by this Agreement (except, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent otherwise required by the Intercreditor Agreement)), the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral with respect to which such actions have been taken shall be perfected and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than Liens not prohibited by Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement and subject to any limitations or exclusions from the requirement to perfect the security interests and Liens on the Collateral described herein.

(k) The Grantors own, and have rights in, the Article 9 Collateral free and clear of any Lien, except for Liens not prohibited by Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, none of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the New York UCC or any other applicable laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with the USPTO or the USCO or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case to the extent the Lien or security interest evidenced thereby is not prohibited by the Credit Agreement.

Section 3.03. Covenants.

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

(b) At its option, the Administrative Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and within a reasonable period of time after the Administrative Agent has requested in writing that the Lead Borrower do so. Any and all reasonable amounts so expended by the Administrative Agent shall be reimbursed by the Grantors within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand for any payment made in respect of such amounts that are due and payable or any reasonable expense incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization in accordance with ‎Section 5.03; provided, however, that the Grantors shall not be obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent with respect to any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral which any Grantor has abandoned or failed to maintain or pursue, or otherwise allowed to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, in accordance with ‎Section 3.03(c)(iii). Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(i) In the event that any Grantor, either directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, (A) files an application for the registration of (or otherwise becomes the owner of an application or registration for) any Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the USPTO or the USCO or (B) acquires any registration or application for registration of any United States Patent, Trademark or Copyright, such Grantor will as promptly as practicable (and in any event, no later than the next date on which a Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(c) of the Credit Agreement (or, if earlier, the date on which such Compliance Certificate is actually delivered to the Administrative Agent) or such later date as to which the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), provide the Administrative Agent written notice thereof, and, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver any and all Intellectual Property Security Agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s security interest (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and the general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby (other than, in each case, to the extent constituting Excluded Property).

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

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

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

Exhibit K

Page 22

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

(d) Except to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall, upon request of the Administrative Agent, at its own expense, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title and rights to the Article 9 Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Administrative Agent in the Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not permitted pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor (rather than the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable (as between itself and any relevant counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

Article 4
Remedies

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

Exhibit K

Page 23

The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Grantors and the Lead Borrower ten (10) Business Days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or a portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or a portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in the event that any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this ‎Section 4.01 shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

Section 4.02. Application of Proceeds.

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

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including amounts payable under Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.3 of the Credit Agreement) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including amounts payable under Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.3 of the Credit Agreement) payable to the Lenders, ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and Borrowings, any fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments due under Secured Swap Agreements, any fees due under Secured Bilateral LC Facilities and any fees due under any Secured Cash Management Agreements, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and Borrowings, unreimbursed LC Disbursements and any unreimbursed amounts in respect of drawings under letters of credit issued (other than Letters of Credit) under any Secured Bilateral LC Facility, or payments made pursuant to any letters of guaranty, surety bonds or similar arrangements under any Secured Bilateral LC Facility, and to cash collateralize (i) that portion of LC Exposure consisting of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit and (ii) the aggregate undrawn amount of letters of credit (other than Letters of Credit) issued under any Secured Bilateral LC Facility and any unreimbursed contingent amounts under any letters of guaranty, surety bonds or similar arrangements under any Secured Bilateral LC Facility, and any breakage, termination or other payments under Secured Swap Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

Exhibit K

Page 25

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

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

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

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

Section 4.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property; Power of Attorney. For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license (until the termination or cure of the Event of Default) to use, license or, to the extent permitted under the terms of the relevant license, sublicense any of the Intellectual Property included in the Article 9 Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that all of the foregoing rights of the Administrative Agent to operate such license, sublicense and other rights shall expire immediately upon the termination or cure of all Events of Default and shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent solely during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrowers, and nothing in this ‎Section 4.03 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any applicable law, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, with respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the relevant Grantor; provided, further, that such licenses granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks. Furthermore, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an absolute power of attorney to sign, subject only to the giving of ten (10) days’ written notice to the Grantor and Holdings, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any document which may be required by the USPTO or the USCO in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in each registration and application for a Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and to record the same.

Article 5
Miscellaneous

Section 5.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor other than Holdings shall be given to it in care of Holdings as provided in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement.

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

Exhibit K

Page 27

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion may grant extensions of time for the creation or perfection of security interests in, or taking other actions with respect to, particular assets or any other compliance with the requirements of this Agreement where it reasonably determines in writing, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, that the creation or perfection of security interests in or taking other actions, or any other compliance with the requirements of this definition cannot be accomplished without undue delay, burden or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement.

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

Section 5.03. Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder (including without limitation disbursements of the Administrative Agent pursuant to ‎Section 5.14) and indemnity for its actions in connection herewith as provided in Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement; provided that each reference therein to a “Borrower” shall be deemed to be a reference to a “Grantor”.

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

Section 5.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, to the extent permitted under Section 9.4 of the Credit Agreement.

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

Section 5.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding, without the consent of any other party, upon such Grantor and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns permitted thereby, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns permitted thereby, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as permitted by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (it being understood that a merger or consolidation not prohibited by the Credit Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or transfer).

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

Section 5.08. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Service of Process.

Section 5.09. 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 are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 5.10. Security Interest Absolute. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.

Section 5.11. Intercreditor Agreement Governs.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the priority of the liens and security interests granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement regarding the priority of the liens and the security interests granted to the Administrative Agent or exercise of any rights or remedies by the Administrative Agent, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

Exhibit K

Page 30

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent any Grantor is required hereunder to deliver Collateral to, or the possession or control by, the Administrative Agent for purposes of possession and/or “control” (as such term is used herein) and is unable to do so as a result of having previously delivered such Collateral to the Controlling Authorized Representative (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, such Grantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such delivery shall be deemed complied with and satisfied by the delivery to the Controlling Authorized Representative (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the benefit of each other First-Priority Secured Party (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement)..

Section 5.12. Termination or Release.

(a) This Agreement, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall automatically terminate with respect to all Obligations (i) upon the occurrence of the Collateral and Guarantee Release Date and (ii) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than Secured Swap Obligations, Secured Bilateral LC Obligations, indemnities and contingent obligations with respect to which no claim for reimbursement has been made, and other than Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized pursuant to arrangements mutually agreed between the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lead Borrower or with respect to which other arrangements have been made that are satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank).

(b) A Grantor (other than a Borrower) shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder in accordance with, and to the extent provided by, Section 9.17 of the Credit Agreement.

(c) The security interest granted hereunder by any Grantor in any Collateral shall be automatically released and the license granted in ‎Section 4.03 shall be automatically terminated with respect to such Collateral (i) at the time the property subject to such security interest is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer not prohibited by the Credit Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by such Grantor upon its reasonable request without further inquiry) to any person other than a Grantor, (ii) subject to Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement, if the release of such security interest is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or (iii) upon release of such Grantor from its obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 5.12(b) above.

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph ‎(a), ‎(b) or ‎(c) of this ‎Section 5.12, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents and take all such further actions that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release, in each case in accordance with the terms of Article VIII and Section 9.17 of the Credit Agreement. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this ‎Section 5.12 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each Specified Secured Party by the acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the obligations of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries under any Other Arrangement shall be secured pursuant to this Agreement only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Obligations are so secured and (ii) any release of Collateral effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Specified Secured Party.

Section 5.13. Additional Grantors. Each direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary of Holdings that is required to enter into this Agreement as a Grantor pursuant to Section 5.9(b) of the Credit Agreement shall, and any Subsidiary of Holdings may, execute and deliver a Security Agreement Supplement and thereupon such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder or of any other Person. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

Section 5.14. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable for the term hereof and coupled with an interest. The foregoing appointment shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement (or, with respect to any Guarantor released from its obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 5.12 before termination of this Agreement, upon such release of such Grantor) and the Security Interest granted hereunder pursuant to ‎Section 5.12(a). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and written notice by the Administrative Agent to Holdings of its intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution either in the Administrative Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor, (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Administrative Agent; (h) to make, settle and adjust claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, including endorsing the name of any Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance, making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance required by Section 5.5 of the Credit Agreement or paying any premium in whole or in part relating thereto; and (i) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Administrative Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Administrative Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. Anything in this ‎Section 5.14 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the appointment provided for in this ‎Section 5.14 unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein. No Agent Party shall be liable in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

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

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

Exhibit K

Page 33

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

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

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

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

Section 5.20. Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Security Agreement in its entirety and, upon effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Existing Security Agreement shall be amended and restated hereby and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by this Agreement rather than the Existing Security Agreement. This Agreement is given in substitution for the Existing Security Agreement, is in no way intended to constitute a novation of the Existing Security Agreement and the security interests in the Existing Security Agreement hereby are renewed and extended and shall be continuing. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any waivers, express or implied by course of conduct or otherwise, amendments or other actions (or failures to act) under the Existing Security Agreement shall be of no use in interpreting the rights and duties of the parties under this Agreement.

Section 5.21. Acknowledgement Regarding Supported QFCs. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges the provisions of Section 9.23 of the Credit Agreement and agrees to be bound by those provisions as fully as if set forth herein.

Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. The New Subsidiary hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements (including Fixture filings with respect to any Fixtures associated with Material Real Property that is subject to a Mortgage) with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or words of similar effect as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or the analogous legislation of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including (x) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and, if required, any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor and (y) in the case of a financing statement filed as a Fixture filing, a sufficient description of the Material Real Property subject to a Mortgage to which such Article 9 Collateral relates.

SECTION 3. This Supplement 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 Supplement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary, and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof.

(a) Anything contained herein or in any of the Secured Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 1.01(b)), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Controlling Authorized Representative or any First-Priority Secured Party is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Common Collateral, or any distribution is made in respect of any Common Collateral in any Bankruptcy Case of any Grantor or any First-Priority Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) with respect to any Common Collateral, the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any such Collateral by any First-Priority Secured Party are received by the Controlling Authorized Representative or any First-Priority Secured Party pursuant to any such intercreditor agreement with respect to such Common Collateral and proceeds of any such distribution (subject, in the case of any such distribution, to the sentence immediately following) to which the First-Priority Obligations are entitled under any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) (all proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Collateral and all proceeds of any such distribution being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), shall be applied by the Controlling Authorized Representative as follows:

Exhibit M

Page 15

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Controlling Authorized Representative in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, or any other First-Priority Collateral Document or any of the First-Priority Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents, professional advisors and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Controlling Authorized Representative hereunder or under any other First-Priority Collateral Document on behalf of the Grantors, if any, and any other reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other First-Priority Collateral Document;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Common Collateral for which a third party (other than a First-Priority Secured Party and, without limiting the foregoing, after taking into account the effect of any applicable intercreditor agreements) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of First-Priority Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of First-Priority Obligations (such third party an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Common Collateral or Proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Common Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of First-Priority Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.

Exhibit M

Page 16

(b) It is acknowledged that the First-Priority Obligations of any Series may, subject to the limitations set forth in the then extant Secured Credit Documents, be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, repaid, refunded, Refinanced or otherwise amended or modified from time to time, all without affecting the priorities set forth in Section 2.01(a) or the provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the First-Priority Secured Parties of any Series.

(c) Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of First-Priority Obligations granted on the Common Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or the Secured Credit Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the First-Priority Obligations of any Series or any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 1.01(b) hereof), each First-Priority Secured Party hereby agrees that the Liens securing each Series of First-Priority Obligations on any Common Collateral shall be of equal priority.

(ii) file a claim, proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to such Series of First-Priority Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any of the Grantors;

(iv) file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not in violation of the terms of this Agreement; and

Section 2.02. Actions with Respect to Common Collateral; Prohibition on Contesting Liens.

(a) With respect to any Common Collateral, (i) notwithstanding Section 2.01, only the Controlling Authorized Representative shall act or refrain from acting with respect to the Common Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Common Collateral) and then only on the instructions of the requisite Controlling Secured Parties under the applicable Secured Credit Document and (ii) no other Authorized Representative or Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or other First-Priority Secured Party (other than the Controlling Secured Parties) shall or shall instruct the Controlling Authorized Representative to, commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Common Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Common Collateral), whether under any First-Priority Collateral Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Controlling Authorized Representative, acting on the instructions of the requisite Controlling Secured Parties under the applicable Secured Credit Document and in accordance with the applicable First-Priority Collateral Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Common Collateral. Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens, the Controlling Authorized Representative may deal with the Common Collateral as if such Controlling Authorized Representative had a senior Lien on such Collateral. No Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or Non-Controlling Secured Party will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Controlling Authorized Representative or the Controlling Secured Parties or any other exercise by the Controlling Authorized Representative or the Controlling Secured Parties of any rights and remedies relating to the Common Collateral or to cause the Controlling Authorized Representative to do so. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any First-Priority Secured Party, Controlling Authorized Representative or any Authorized Representative with respect to any Collateral not constituting Common Collateral.

(b) Each of the Authorized Representatives agrees that it will not accept any Lien on any Common Collateral for the benefit of any Series of First-Priority Obligations (other than funds deposited for the discharge or defeasance of any Other First-Priority Agreement) other than pursuant to the First-Priority Collateral Documents and, by executing this Agreement (or a Joinder Agreement), each Authorized Representative and the Series of First-Priority Secured Parties for which it is acting hereunder agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the other First-Priority Collateral Documents applicable to it. The Credit Facility Agent acknowledges and agrees that no Notes Collateral Agent shall have any responsibility pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any mortgages, financing statements, patent, trademark or copyright filings or other filings or recordings filed or recorded by the Grantors in favor of such Notes Collateral Agent in compliance with its obligations under the applicable Notes Indenture or the applicable Notes Collateral Agreement.

Exhibit M

Page 18

(c) Each of the First-Priority Secured Parties agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the First-Priority Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral, or the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair (i) the rights of any Authorized Representative or any First-Priority Secured Party to enforce this Agreement or (ii) the rights of any First-Priority Secured Party from contesting or supporting any other Person in contesting the enforceability of any Lien purporting to secure First-Priority Obligations constituting unmatured interest pursuant to Section 502(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(a) Each First-Priority Secured Party agrees that (i) it will not challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any First-Priority Obligations of any Series or any First-Priority Collateral Document or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien under any First-Priority Collateral Document or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by or other provisions of this Agreement, (ii) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or intent of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Common Collateral by the Controlling Authorized Representative, (iii) except as provided in Section 2.02, it shall have no right to (A) direct the Controlling Authorized Representative or any other First-Priority Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to any Common Collateral (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement) or (B) consent to the exercise by the Controlling Authorized Representative or any other First-Priority Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Common Collateral, (iv) it will not institute any suit or assert in any suit, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding any claim against the Controlling Authorized Representative or any other First-Priority Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Common Collateral, and none of the Controlling Authorized Representative, any other Authorized Representatives or any other First-Priority Secured Party shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Controlling Authorized Representative or other First-Priority Secured Party with respect to any Common Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (v) it will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have any Common Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral and (vi) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of the Authorized Representatives or any other First-Priority Secured Party to enforce this Agreement.

Exhibit M

Page 19

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

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

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

(b) If, in connection with any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Common Collateral permitted under the terms of the Secured Credit Documents (whether or not an Event of Default thereunder, and as defined therein, has occurred and is continuing), the Controlling Authorized Representative, for itself or on behalf of the Controlling Secured Parties, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Common Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of each Non-Controlling Authorized Representative on such Common Collateral (but not the proceeds thereof, which shall be subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement) shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released, and each Non-Controlling Authorized Representative promptly shall execute, if applicable, and deliver to the Controlling Authorized Representative or such Grantor such termination statements, releases, authorizations and other documents and instruments, and shall take or authorize the Controlling Authorized Representative or such Grantor to take such action (including any recordation, filing or giving of notice), as the Controlling Authorized Representative or such Grantor may reasonably request to effectively confirm such release.

(c) Each First-Priority Secured Party agrees that any Authorized Representative may, with the prior written consent of the Grantors, enter into any amendment to any First-Priority Collateral Document (including to release any Liens securing any Series of First-Priority Obligations), so long as such amendment does not adversely affect the First Priority Secured Parties of any other Series. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Notes Collateral Agent may execute any supplement or amendment to the applicable Notes Indenture or the applicable Notes Collateral Agreement pursuant to which the Grantors have provided it an Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate (as such terms are defined in the applicable Notes Indenture) pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Notes Indenture, the applicable Notes Collateral Agreement or any applicable First-Priority Collateral Document. The Grantors shall provide a copy of such amendment to each other Authorized Representative.

Exhibit M

Page 20

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

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

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

(b) If any Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (in each case, or under any equivalent provision of any other applicable bankruptcy law), each First-Priority Secured Party (other than any Controlling Secured Party or the Controlling Authorized Representative in their capacities as such) agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Common Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Common Collateral, unless any Controlling Secured Party or Controlling Authorized Representative shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Common Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Common Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any First-Priority Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Common Collateral granted to secure the First-Priority Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Common Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the First-Priority Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Common Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other First-Priority Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the First-Priority Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the First-Priority Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any First-Priority Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the First-Priority Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the First-Priority Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement and (D) if any First-Priority Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement; provided that the First-Priority Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the First-Priority Secured Parties of such Series or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Common Collateral; and provided further that the First-Priority Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other First-Priority Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such First-Priority Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

Article III

Existence and Amounts of Liens and Obligations

Whenever the Controlling Authorized Representative or any Authorized Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any First-Priority Obligations of any Series, or the Common Collateral subject to any Lien securing the First-Priority Obligations of any Series, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by each other Authorized Representative and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that, if an Authorized Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Controlling Authorized Representative or Authorized Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination or not make any determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Holdings.

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

Section 4.02. Rights as a First-Priority Secured Party. The Person serving as the Controlling Authorized Representative hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a First-Priority Secured Party under any Series of First-Priority Obligations that it holds as any other First-Priority Secured Party of such Series and may exercise the same as though it were not the Controlling Authorized Representative and the term “First-Priority Secured Party” or “First-Priority Secured Parties” or (as applicable) “Credit Agreement Secured Party”, “Credit Agreement Secured Parties”, “Other First-Priority Secured Party” or “Other First-Priority Secured Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Controlling Authorized Representative hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Controlling Authorized Representative hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other First-Priority Secured Party.

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

The Controlling Authorized Representative also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Controlling Authorized Representative may consult with legal counsel (who may include, but shall not be limited to counsel for Holdings and its Subsidiaries or counsel to the Credit Facility Agent or any Authorized Representative), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

For the avoidance of doubt, each Notes Collateral Agent executes and delivers this Agreement pursuant to the requirements of the applicable Notes Indenture or the applicable Notes Collateral Agreement, and the authorization and direction of the Grantors and the holders of the applicable Notes Obligations therein. No Notes Collateral Agent makes any credit analysis or credit decision with respect to its entry into or performance under any Notes Indenture or any Notes Collateral Agreement, and no provision of this Agreement, any Notes Indenture or any Notes Collateral Agreement shall be construed to require it to do so.

Exhibit M
Page 33

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

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

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

3. Lien Law Compliance. Mortgagor shall preserve and protect the lien and security interest status, subject to Liens not prohibited by Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement, of this Mortgage.

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

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

7. Mortgagee’s Rights of Cure. At its option, Mortgagee may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Mortgaged Property and not permitted pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Mortgaged Property to the extent Mortgagor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement, this Mortgage or any other Loan Document and within a reasonable period of time after Mortgagee has requested in writing that Mortgagor do so. Any and all reasonable amounts so expended by Mortgagee pursuant to this Section ‎7 shall be reimbursed by Mortgagor within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand for any payment made in respect of such amounts that are due and payable or any reasonable expense incurred by Mortgagee pursuant to the foregoing authorization in accordance with ‎Section 5.03 of the Security Agreement.

If Mortgagee has advanced its own funds to so cure or perform such covenants or other promises of Mortgagor, Mortgagee shall have the right, at any time that any such advances remain unpaid, without notice to Mortgagor, to apply any proceeds, escrows or other sums then held by Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained in the Loan Documents, to the payment of such advances and all outstanding and unpaid interest, if any, thereon. Upon demand by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall promptly replenish the amount of any proceeds, escrows or other sums so applied by Mortgagee so that Mortgagee shall thereafter hold the same amount of proceeds, escrows and other sums which Mortgagee would have held but for the exercise of the rights granted to Mortgagee in this Section ‎7.

Exhibit N

Page 7

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

9. Reimbursement of Expenses.

(a) The parties hereto agree that Mortgagee shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder and indemnity for its actions in connection herewith as provided in Sections 9.3 of the Credit Agreement; provided that each reference therein to a “Borrower” shall be deemed to be a reference to a “Mortgagor”.

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

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

11. Bankruptcy Related Provisions.

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

Exhibit N

Page 8

12. Appointment of Receiver. Mortgagee, in any action to foreclose this Mortgage, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be at liberty, but under no obligation, to apply for the appointment of a receiver of the rents and profits and the Premises without notice, and Mortgagee shall be entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the appointment of such receiver as a matter of right, without consideration of the value of the Premises as security for the amounts due Mortgagee or the solvency of any person or corporation liable for the payment of such amounts.

13. Right of Entry. On demand during the continuation of an Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee, personally or by its agents and attorneys, may enter upon the Premises, and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and servants wholly therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise, and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and all other items constituting the Premises, and Mortgagor agrees to surrender possession of the Premises including such books, records and accounts to Mortgagee; and having and holding the same may use, operate, manage, preserve, control and otherwise deal therewith and conduct the business thereof, either personally or by its superintendents, managers, agents, servants, attorneys or receivers, without interference from Mortgagor; and upon each such entry and from time to time thereafter may, at the expense of Mortgagor, without interference by Mortgagor and as Mortgagee may deem advisable, (i) maintain, restore and keep secure the Premises, (ii) insure or reinsure the Premises, (iii) make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and (iv) in every such case in connection with the foregoing have the right to exercise all rights and powers of Mortgagor with respect to the Premises, either in Mortgagor’s name or otherwise; and Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income of the Premises and every part thereof; and in furtherance of such right Mortgagee may, subject as above stated, collect the rents payable under all leases of the Premises directly from the lessees thereunder upon notice to each such lessee that an Event of Default exists accompanied by a demand on such lessee for the payment to Mortgagee of all rents due and to become due under its lease in accordance with this Mortgage, and Mortgagor for the benefit of Mortgagee and each such lessee, hereby covenants and agrees that such lessee shall be under no duty to question the accuracy of Mortgagee’s statement of Event of Default and shall unequivocally be authorized to pay said rents to Mortgagee without regard to the truth of Mortgagee’s statement of Event of Default and notwithstanding notices from Mortgagor disputing the existence of an Event of Default, with the result that the payment of rent by such lessee to Mortgagee pursuant to such demand shall constitute performance in full of such lessee’s obligation under its lease for the payment of rents by such lessee to Mortgagor; and after deducting the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of conducting the business thereof and of all maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements and amounts necessary to pay for taxes, assessments, insurance and other proper charges upon the Premises or any part thereof, as well as reasonable compensation for the service contractors and employees by it engaged and employed, Mortgagee shall apply the moneys arising as aforesaid, but subject as aforesaid, to the Obligations secured herein in such order as Mortgagee shall determine in its discretion, subject to and in accordance with the Security Agreement. To the extent any expenses incurred by Mortgagee pursuant to the terms of this Section ‎13 exceed the amounts so collected by Mortgagee, all such excess amounts shall bear interest at the default rate set forth in Section 2.12(c) of the Credit Agreement (the “Default Rate”) from the date of incurrence until the date of reimbursement and shall constitute Obligations secured hereby. Nothing in this Section ‎13 shall constitute a limitation on the rights granted to Mortgagee under this Mortgage. For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section ‎13, Mortgagor hereby constitutes and appoints Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor, which appointment is irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, in Mortgagor’s name and stead, to do and perform, from time to time, any and all actions necessary and incidental to such purpose and does by these presents ratify and confirm any and all actions of said attorney-in-fact in and with respect to the Premises.

16. Foreclosure and Sale.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

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

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

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

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

Exhibit N

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

22. Security Agreement Under Uniform Commercial Code.

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

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

Exhibit N

Page 15

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

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

24. Assignment of Leases and Rents.

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

(b) Mortgagor hereby further grants to Mortgagee the right to notify the lessee under any Lease of the assignment thereof and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) to demand that such lessee pay all amounts due under such Lease directly to Mortgagee, (ii) to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents, (iii) to dispossess by the usual summary proceedings any lessee defaulting in the payment thereof, (iv) to let the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and (v) to apply the Rents, after payment of all necessary charges and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, on account of the Obligations. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each lessee under any Lease to rely upon any such notice. Nothing contained in this Section ‎24 shall be construed to bind Mortgagee to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any Lease or otherwise to impose any obligation on Mortgagee thereunder, except that Mortgagee shall be accountable for any Rents actually received pursuant to such assignment. Mortgagor shall not modify, amend, terminate or consent to the cancellation, surrender or assignment of any Lease if any modification, amendment, termination or assignment would have a Material Adverse Effect (it being understood that the preceding portions of this sentence shall not apply to the expiration or early termination of any Lease by its terms). Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any). The collection of Rents by Mortgagee shall in no way waive the right of Mortgagee to foreclose this Mortgage in the event of any Event of Default. Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee promptly after a written request by Mortgagee to do so, a written statement containing the names of all lessees, sublessees and concessionaires of the Mortgaged Property, the terms of any Lease, the space occupied, the rentals or license fees payable thereunder, whether each such lessee is in default under its Lease and if so, the nature thereof.

Exhibit N

Page 16

(c) Mortgagor acknowledges that it has taken all actions necessary for the Mortgagee to obtain, and that upon recordation of this Mortgage Mortgagee shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully perfected, first priority, present assignment of the Rents, subject to Liens not prohibited by Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement.

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

26. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to Mortgagor shall be given to it in care of Holdings as provided in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement.

27. Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay by Mortgagee, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Mortgagee, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Mortgage or consent to any departure by Mortgagor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section ‎27, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether Mortgagee, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle any Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Exhibit N

Page 17

(b) Neither this Mortgage nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement.

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

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

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

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

32. Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) the priority of the liens and security interests granted to Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage are expressly subject to the First Lien/First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of November 21, 2016 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) among Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Senior Funding, Inc., as the Credit Facility Agent, the 2021 Notes Collateral Agent (as defined therein), the 2026 Notes Collateral Agent (as defined therein), and each additional Authorized Representative from time to time party thereto, as modified by that certain [Joinder Agreement], dated as of [____], 2019 by Mortgagee and (b) the exercise of any right or remedy by Mortgagee hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Mortgage regarding the priority of the liens and the security interests granted to Mortgagee or exercise of any rights or remedies by Mortgagee, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of the Credit Agreement regarding the priority of the liens and the security interests granted to Mortgagee or exercise of any rights or remedies by Mortgagee, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.
