Xxxx & Buster’s Holdings, Inc., as a guarantor, the Borrower, the direct and indirect Subsidiaries of the Borrower from time to time party thereto, as guarantors, the several financial institutions from time to time party thereto, as Lenders, Swing Line Lender and/or L/C Issuers, and the Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 17, 2017 (as amended by the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 14, 2020 and as the same may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”).

Pursuant to Section 13.13 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders agree to certain amendments to the Credit Agreement, and each of the Consenting Lenders (which Consenting Lenders, for the avoidance of doubt, collectively constitute 100% of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement) has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to amend the Credit Agreement as herein provided.

Pursuant to Section 1.19 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower has requested that the Revolving Lenders under the Credit Agreement extend the Revolving Credit Termination Date of their Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans, and each of the Revolving Lenders has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to extend the Revolving Credit Termination Date under the Extended Revolving Credit Facility described herein.

On October 20, 2020, each of the Consenting Lenders ratified and confirmed an updated version of the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below) attached as Exhibit A to this Second Amendment, which revised Section 8.7(o)(ii) thereof to permit up to $550,000,000 of pari passu senior notes.

Accordingly, the Borrower and the Consenting Lenders agree as follows:

ARTICLE V
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 5.01 Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Consenting Lenders to consent to the amendments contained herein, the Borrower represents and warrants as set forth below:

(a) After giving effect to this Second Amendment, the Credit Agreement, as amended, does not impair the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents, and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred. The position of the Lenders with respect to such Liens, the Collateral in which a security interest was granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the ability of the Administrative Agent to realize upon such Liens pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents have not been adversely affected in any material respect by the amendments to the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Second Amendment or by the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Second Amendment.

(b) The Borrower reaffirms as of the date hereof and the Second Amendment Effective Date its covenants and agreements contained in the Credit Agreement and each Collateral Document and other Loan Document to which it is a party, including, in each case, as such covenants and agreements may be modified by this Second Amendment on the Second Amendment Effective Date. The Borrower further confirms that each Collateral Document and other Loan Document to which it is a party is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect, and the same is hereby ratified, approved and confirmed in all respects, except as the Credit Agreement may be amended by this Second Amendment.

(c) As of the date hereof and prior to and immediately after giving effect to this Second Amendment, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 of the Credit Agreement (as so amended) and each other Loan Document are, in each case, true and correct in all material respects (unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date).

(d) This Second Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(e) The parties signatory to the Acknowledgment constitute all of the Persons who (together with the Borrower) are or are required under the terms of the Loan Documents to be Loan Parties.

(f) All written information (other than any projections, other forward looking statements and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) furnished and prepared by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Consenting Lenders for use in connection with the negotiation of this Second Amendment do not, taken as a whole, as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, contain any untrue statements of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto from time to time).

(g) The Borrower has full right and authority to enter into this Second Amendment and to perform all of its obligations under, this Second Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement, and the execution and delivery of this Second Amendment and any agreements, instruments, certificates or documents related thereto (the “Second Amendment Documents”) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of each Loan Party.

(h) As of the date hereof and the Second Amendment Effective Date (and giving effect to this Second Amendment), no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Second Amendment or the Amended Credit Agreement.

(i) There is no litigation or governmental or arbitration proceeding or labor controversy pending, nor to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened in writing, against Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their Property which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(j) No authorization, consent, license or exemption from, or filing or registration with, any court or governmental department, agency or instrumentality, nor any approval or consent of any other Person, is or will be necessary for the valid execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of this Second Amendment, except for such (i) approvals which have been obtained prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date and remain in full force and effect, (ii) filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents and (iii) those consents, approvals, registrations, filings or actions the failure of which to obtain or make could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(k) The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Second Amendment Documents will not contravene any provision of law or any judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon the Borrower or any Guarantor which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

This Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is entered into as of August 17, 2017, by and among Xxxx & Buster’s Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), Xxxx & Buster’s, Inc., a Missouri corporation, as the borrower (the “Borrower”), the direct and indirect Subsidiaries of the Borrower from time to time party to this Agreement, as Guarantors, the several financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement, as Lenders, Swing Line Lender and/or L/C Issuer, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent as provided herein (the “Administrative Agent”), and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as syndication agent. All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms are defined in Section 5.1 hereof.

Preliminary Statement

(A) The Loan Parties are party to that certain Credit Agreement, originally dated as of May 15, 2015 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among Holdings, the Borrower, the other Loan parties party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, pursuant to which the lenders and the issuing banks thereunder have made available certain extensions of credit. The Loan Parties have requested that the Lenders agree to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement to make certain modifications, as set forth below.

(B) The proceeds of the Loans, will be used (i) to refinance all indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the foregoing and (iii) for general business purposes.

(C) The Lenders have agreed to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement, all upon terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Parties hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. The Credit Facilities.

Section 1.1 Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Term Loan Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make a loan (individually a “Term Loan” and collectively the “Term Loans”) in U.S. Dollars to the Borrower in an amount not to exceed such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment; provided that the obligation of each Term Loan Lender which is a Rollover Lender to make such Term Loan shall be deemed to be satisfied up to an amount of its Existing 2015 Term Loans by the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a duly completed signature page to this Agreement with the aggregate principal amount of its Existing 2015 Term Loans to be exchanged for Term Loans under this Agreement (and the Term Loans of such Rollover Lender shall be deemed made on the Closing Date of this Agreement). The Term Loans pursuant to the Term Loan Commitments in effect on the Closing Date shall be advanced in a single Borrowing on the Closing Date. As provided in Section 1.6(a), the Borrower may elect that the Term Loans be outstanding as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. No amount repaid or prepaid on any Term Loan may be reborrowed.

Section 1.2 Revolving Credit Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make a loan or loans (individually a “Revolving Loan” and collectively the “Revolving Loans”) in U.S. Dollars to the Borrower from time to time before the Revolving Credit Termination Date applicable to such Class of Revolving Credit Commitment ~~(but not during the Financial Covenant Suspension Period)~~ on a revolving basis up to the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of the applicable Class, subject to any increases or reductions thereof pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that with respect to any Revolving Loans to be advanced on the Closing Date the obligation of each Revolving Lender which is a Rollover Lender to make such Revolving Loans shall be deemed to be satisfied up to an amount of its Existing 2015 Revolving Loans by the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a duly completed signature page to this Agreement with the aggregate principal amount of its Existing 2015 Revolving Loans to be exchanged for Revolving Loans advanced on the Closing Date under this Agreement (and the Existing 2015 Revolving Loans of such Rollover Lender shall be continued under this Agreement once the Closing Date has occurred). The sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of all L/C Obligations of any Class at any time outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class in effect at such time. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans of any Class shall be made ratably by the relevant Revolving Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolver Percentages. As provided in Section 1.6(a), the Borrower may elect that each Borrowing of Revolving Loans be either Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. Revolving Loans may be repaid and the principal amount thereof reborrowed before the Revolving Credit Termination Date applicable to such Class of Revolving Credit Commitment, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. With respect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans of any Class made (i) on the Closing Date, the Borrower may use the proceeds thereof to finance a portion of the Transactions and (ii) on and after the Closing Date, the Borrower may use the proceeds thereof to finance the ongoing working capital and purchase price adjustments and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including to finance Permitted Acquisitions, capital expenditures, investments, Restricted Payments and for such other legal purposes as are permitted or not prohibited hereunder).

Section 1.3 Letters of Credit.

(a) General Terms. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the Revolving Credit Facility of such Class, the L/C Issuer shall, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 1.3, (i) issue commercial or standby Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower for use by the Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries and (ii) honor drawings under the Letters of Credit in accordance with such Letter of Credit; provided that ~~(and subject to~~ ~~clause (l)~~ ~~below)~~ at the time of issuance of any Letter of Credit (or an amendment to an existing Letter of Credit that increases the face amount thereof), the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (after giving effect to such issuance or amendment) does not exceed the L/C Sublimit of such Class. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued by the L/C Issuer, but each Revolving Lender in respect of such Class shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer for such Revolving Lender’s Revolver Percentage of the amount of each drawing thereunder and, accordingly, each Letter of Credit shall constitute usage of the relevant Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender pro rata in an amount equal to its Revolver Percentage of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of all L/C Obligations then outstanding.

(b) Applications.

(i) At any time before the relevant Revolving Credit Termination Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, on the Closing Date), the L/C Issuer shall, at the request of the Borrower, issue one or more Letters of Credit in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars or such other currency as is acceptable to the L/C Issuer (Canadian Dollars and such other currencies acceptable to the L/C Issuer from time to time are referred to herein as “Eligible Foreign Currencies”), in a form reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer and the Borrower, with expiration dates (or which are cancelable) no later than the earlier of (x) 12 months from the date of issuance or last extension, or such later time as may be agreed by the Required Revolving Lenders and (y) seven (7) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in an aggregate face amount as set forth in Section 1.3(a), upon the receipt of an application duly executed by the Borrower, and, if such Letter of Credit is for the account of one of the Subsidiaries, such Subsidiary, for the relevant Letter of Credit in the form then customarily prescribed by the L/C Issuer for the Letter of Credit requested (each an “Application”). Notwithstanding anything contained in any Application to the contrary: (i) the Borrower shall pay fees in connection with each Letter of Credit as set forth in Section 2.1 and (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 1.9(b)(ivv) and (b)(vivii), before the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the L/C Issuer will not call for the funding by the Borrower of any amount under a Letter of Credit before being presented with a drawing thereunder. The L/C Issuer agrees to issue amendments to the Letter(s) of Credit increasing the amount, or extending the expiration date, thereof at the request of the Borrower, subject to the conditions of Section 7.1 and the other terms of this Section 1.3.

(ii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Application, the L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”) in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided that, any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued, but which date shall be at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the maturity of such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit expiration date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7.1 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(c) The Reimbursement Obligations. Subject to Section 1.3(b), the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for all drawings (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any fees and expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection therewith) under a Letter of Credit (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) and reimbursement of the Reimbursement Obligations shall be made by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately following the date that the Borrower receives notice that such drawing is made (or, if such notice is received less than two hours prior to the deadline for requesting Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 1.6, on the second Business Day immediately following the date the Borrower receives such notice), in U.S. Dollars in funds that are immediately available at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in New York, New York or such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the Borrower (who shall thereafter cause to be distributed to the L/C Issuer such amount(s) in like funds). As to any Letter of Credit payable in an Eligible Foreign Currency, the Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable in either (i) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the relevant amount of such Eligible Foreign Currency at the rate of exchange then current in New York, New York for transfers of such Eligible Foreign Currency to the place of payment or (ii) such Eligible Foreign Currency. If the Borrower does not inform the L/C Issuer that it intends to timely reimburse the amount of any drawing under a Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 1.3(c) from its own funds, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Revolving Lender of the date of such drawing, the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation, and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolver Percentage thereof and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Revolving Loans in the form of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the date of such drawing in an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such Reimbursement Obligation (without regard to the minimums and multiples specified in Section 1.5) and such Reimbursement Obligation shall be deemed discharged, subject to (x) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class available at such time and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 (it being understood that the failure of the Borrower to pay the L/C Issuer the Reimbursement Obligation from its own funds and any delay in the payment of any Reimbursement Obligation beyond the date and time due shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default hereunder to the extent a Base Rate Loan is disbursed in accordance with this Section 1.3(c)); provided that with respect to any Reimbursement Obligations that are not reimbursed by a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, such Reimbursement Obligations that are not so reimbursed shall bear interest (which the Borrower hereby promises to pay) from and after the date such drawing is paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate as set forth in Section 1.10. If the Borrower does not make any such reimbursement payment on the date due and the Participating Lenders fund their Participating Interest therein in the manner set forth in Section 1.3(d), then all payments thereafter received by the Administrative Agent in discharge of any of the relevant Reimbursement Obligations shall be distributed in accordance with Section 1.3(d).

(d) The Participating Interests. Each Revolving Lender (other than the Revolving Lender acting as L/C Issuer in issuing the relevant Letter of Credit), by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to purchase from the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer hereby agrees to sell to each such Revolving Lender (a “Participating Lender”), an undivided percentage participating interest (a “Participating Interest”), to the extent of its Revolver Percentage of such Class, in each Letter of Credit issued by, and each Reimbursement Obligation owed to, the L/C Issuer in respect of such Class. Upon any failure by the Borrower to pay any Reimbursement Obligation (or if such Reimbursement Obligation is not reimbursed with Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 1.3(c)) at the time required on the date the related drawing is to be paid as set forth in Section 1.3(c), or if the L/C Issuer is required at any time to return to the Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any portion of any payment of any Reimbursement Obligation, each Participating Lender shall, not later than the Business Day it receives a certificate in the form of Exhibit A from the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) to such effect, if such certificate is received before 1:00 p.m. (New York time) or, if such certificate is received after such time, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the following Business Day, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer an amount equal to such Participating Lender’s Revolver Percentage of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such unpaid or recaptured Reimbursement Obligation together with interest on such amount accrued from the date the related payment was made by the L/C Issuer to the date of such payment by such Participating Lender at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related payment was made by the L/C Issuer to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Participating Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Participating Lender to the date such payment is made by such Participating Lender, the Alternate Base Rate in effect for each such day. Each such Participating Lender shall thereafter be entitled to receive its Revolver Percentage of each payment received in respect of the relevant Reimbursement Obligation and of interest paid thereon, with the L/C Issuer retaining its Revolver Percentage thereof as a Revolving Lender hereunder. The several obligations of the Participating Lenders to the L/C Issuer under this Section 1.3 shall be absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Participating Lender may have or have had against the Borrower, the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any other Person whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Lender, and each payment by a Participating Lender under this Section 1.3 shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Manner of Requesting a Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall provide at least three (3) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be reasonably agreed to by the Administrative Agent) advance written notice to the Administrative Agent of each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice in each case to be accompanied by an Application for such Letter of Credit properly completed and executed by the Borrower and, in the case of an amendment, extension or an increase in the amount of a Letter of Credit, a written request therefor, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the L/C Issuer of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of each such notice and the L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the issuance of the Letter of Credit so requested.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse Reimbursement Obligations as provided in Section 1.3(c) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the relevant Application 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 the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly 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 1.3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the L/C Issuer 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 the L/C Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the L/C Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of its obligations under this Agreement or the applicable Application on the part of the L/C Issuer (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) or action not in accordance with the standards of reasonable care specified in, as applicable, the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), ICC Publication 600 (or any replacement publication) or the International Standby Practices, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590 (ISP98) by, the L/C Issuer, the L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation 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) Replacement of the L/C Issuer. The L/C Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced L/C Issuer (provided that no consent of the replaced L/C Issuer will be required if there are no outstanding L/C Obligations owed to such replaced L/C Issuer at the time of such replacement) and the successor L/C Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the L/C Issuer. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced L/C Issuer. From and after the effective date of any such replacement (i) the successor L/C Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous L/C Issuer, or to such successor and all previous L/C Issuers, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an L/C Issuer hereunder, the replaced L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement and any Letters of Credit outstanding on the date of such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to renew or extend Letters of Credit outstanding on the date of such replacement.

(h) Provisions Related to New Revolving Credit Commitments, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments. If the maturity date in respect of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (x) if one or more other Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the maturity date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase Participating Interest therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.3(c) and (d)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-terminating Classes up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (y) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (x), the Borrower shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer to cash collateralize or otherwise backstop any such Letter of Credit. Commencing with the maturity date of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, if not previously determined, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the administrative agent under the extended Classes.

(i) Obligation to Issue L/Cs. The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

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

(ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally, which policies have been implemented in good faith and apply generally to similarly situated borrowers; or

(iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $10,000, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $100,000, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit.

(j) Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and the L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the L/C Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where the L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

(k) Conflicts with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

~~(l) Financial Covenant Suspension Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this~~ ~~Section 1.3~~, no Letters of Credit shall be issued during the Financial Covenant Suspension Period, other than (i) to renew existing Letters of Credit without increasing the face amount thereof or (ii) to renew or increase the face amount of standby Letters of Credit supporting the financing of insurance premiums of the Restricted Group in an increased aggregate face amount not to exceed $3,000,000 (for a total aggregate face amount for such Letters of Credit not to exceed $4,500,000).

Section 1.4 Applicable Interest Rates.

(a) Base Rate Loans. Subject to Section 1.10, each Base Rate Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or continued, or created by conversion from a Eurodollar Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect, payable in arrears, on the last day of each of March, June, September and December and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

“Alternate Base Rate” shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next 1/100th of 1%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Base Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50% and (c) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (without giving effect to clause (b) of the definition thereof) for a Eurodollar Loan with a one-month interest period (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1.00%. If the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) or (c), as applicable, of the preceding sentence until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Base Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the then applicable or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the Base Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the then applicable Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, respectively.

“Base Rate” shall mean for any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its “prime rate,” and (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%; and if Base Rate shall be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed 1.00% for purposes of this Agreement. The “prime rate” is a rate set by Bank of America based upon various factors including Bank of America’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing some loans, which may be priced at, above, or below such announced rate. Any change in such prime rate announced by Bank of America shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public announcement of such change. If the Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 10.2, then the Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above.

(b) Eurodollar Loans. Subject to Section 1.10, each Eurodollar Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or continued, or created by conversion from a Base Rate Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate applicable for such Interest Period, payable in arrears on the last day of the Interest Period and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, if the applicable Interest Period is longer than three months, on each day that would have been the last day of the Interest Period had the Interest Period been three months.

“Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” shall mean, with respect to any Eurodollar Loan for any Interest Period or any Base Rate Loan the interest rate on which is determined by reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, (a) an interest rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next 1/100th of 1%) determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Borrowing in effect for such Interest Period divided by (b) 1 minus the Statutory Reserves (if any) for such Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period.

“Eurodollar Rate” shall mean:

(i) for any Interest Period with respect to a Eurodollar Loan, the rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate as administered by ICE Benchmark Administration (or any other Person that takes over the administration of such rate for U.S. Dollars for a period equal in length to such Interest Period) (“LIBOR”) as published on the applicable Bloomberg screen page (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time), at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, for Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period) with a term equivalent to such Interest Period;

(ii) for any interest calculation with respect to a Base Rate Loan on any date, the rate per annum equal to LIBOR, at or about 11:00 a.m., London time determined two (2) London Banking Days prior to such date for U.S. Dollar deposits with a term of one month commencing that day; and

(iii) if the Eurodollar Rate shall be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed 1.00% for purposes of this Agreement.

“Statutory Reserves” shall mean, for any day during any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan or any Base Rate Loan the interest rate on which is determined by reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, the average maximum rate at which reserves (including any marginal, supplemental or emergency reserves) are required to be maintained, during such Interest Period under regulations issued from time to time (including “Regulation D”) issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States (the “Reserve Regulations”) by member banks of the United States Federal Reserve System in New York City with deposits exceeding one billion U.S. Dollars against Eurocurrency funding liabilities (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” (as such term is used in Regulation D)). Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans shall be deemed to constitute Eurodollar liabilities and to be subject to such reserve requirements without benefit of or credit for proration, exceptions or offsets which may be available from time to time to any Lender under the Reserve Regulations.

(c) Rate Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations hereunder, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding if reasonably determined.

(d) Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Margin. If, as a result of any restatement or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender of the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 1.3 or 1.4 or under Section 9. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Section 1.5 Minimum Borrowing Amounts; Maximum Eurodollar Loans. Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans advanced under a Credit Facility shall be in an amount not less than $500,000, or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, in each case, such lesser amount then available); provided that the foregoing requirement shall not apply to Swing Loans. Each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans advanced, continued or converted under a Credit Facility shall be in an amount equal to $2,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Without the Administrative Agent’s consent, there shall not be more than twelve (12) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans outstanding hereunder at any one time.

Section 1.6 Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates; Notice to the Administrative Agent.

(a) Committed Loan Notices. An Authorized Representative of the Borrower shall give irrevocable notice by (x) telephonic notice or (y) a Committed Loan Notice (provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice) to the Administrative Agent by no later than 12:00 noon (New York time): (i) at least three (3) Business Days before the date (or, one (1) Business Day in the case of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans to be made on the Closing Date) on which the Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day before the date the Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified in such Committed Loan Notice of a new Borrowing. Thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirement for each outstanding Borrowing set forth in Section 1.5, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans or (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, on any Business Day, the Borrower may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by the Borrower. The Borrower shall give all such Committed Loan Notices requesting the advance, continuation or conversion of or into a Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by facsimile (or other electronic transmission, if arrangements for doing so have been approved in writing by the Administrative Agent) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (Notice of Borrowing) or Exhibit C (Notice of Continuation/Conversion), as applicable, or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans must be given by no later than 12:00 noon (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. All such Committed Loan Notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Loans in any such notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telecopy notice given by any person the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent investigation. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loan may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to another and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans.

(b) Notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each applicable Lender of any notice from the Borrower received pursuant to clause (a) above and, if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in clause (c) below. If a Committed Loan Notice requests the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each applicable Lender by like means of the interest rate applicable thereto promptly after the Administrative Agent has made such determination.

(c) Borrower’s Failure to Notify; Automatic Continuations and Conversions. Any outstanding Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall automatically be continued for an additional Interest Period on the last day of its then current Interest Period unless the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent within the period required by Section 1.6(a) that the Borrower intends to convert such Borrowing into a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or such Borrowing is prepaid in accordance with Section 1.9(a). If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 1.6(a) of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 1.6(a) and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 1.9(a), such Borrowing shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Loans. Upon delivery of written notice by the Required Lenders, no advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be made if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Loans in any Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(d) Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing, subject to Section 7.1 or 7.2 hereof, as applicable, each Lender shall make available its Loan comprising part of such Borrowing in funds immediately available at the principal office of the Administrative Agent in New York, New York. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of each new Borrowing available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in New York, New York by depositing such proceeds to the credit of the Borrower’s operating account as notified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may otherwise agree; provided that, if, on the date any Notice of Borrowing with respect to a Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are outstanding Reimbursement Obligations (and, in lieu thereof, in substitution of, or in addition to, amounts funded by Participating Lenders under Section 1.3(d) to pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer unpaid or recaptured Reimbursement Obligations (the “Participating Interest Obligations”)), then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such Participating Interest Obligations and, once repaid in full, Reimbursement Obligations, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

(e) Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance herewith (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance herewith and at the time required hereunder) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Exchange/Rollover. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

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

Section 1.7 Interest Periods. As provided in Sections 1.6(a) and 1.15, at the time of each request to advance, continue or create by conversion a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Swing Loans, the Borrower shall select in the relevant Committed Loan Notice or Notice of Continuation/Conversion, as applicable, an Interest Period applicable to such Loans from among the available options. The term “Interest Period” means the period commencing on the date a Borrowing of Loans is advanced, continued or created by conversion and ending: (a) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the last day of the calendar quarter (i.e., the last day of March, June, September or December, as applicable) in which such Borrowing is advanced, continued or created by conversion (or on the last day of the following calendar quarter if such Loan is advanced, continued or created by conversion on the last day of a calendar quarter) and the final maturity date of such Base Rate Loans and (b) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, 1, 2, 3 or 6 months thereafter (in each case, subject to availability); provided, however, that:

(i) any Interest Period for a Borrowing of Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans that otherwise would end after the final maturity date of such Loans shall end on the final maturity date of such Loans;

(ii) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of Loans of any type shall extend beyond the final maturity date of such type of Loans;

(iii) whenever the last day of any Interest Period in respect of Eurodollar Loans would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day; provided that if such extension would cause the last day of an Interest Period for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans to occur in the following calendar month, the last day of such Interest Period shall be the immediately preceding Business Day;

(iv) for purposes of determining an Interest Period for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, a month means a period starting on one day in a calendar month and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month; provided, however, that if there is no numerically corresponding day in the month in which such an Interest Period is to end or if such an Interest Period begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month, then such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such Interest Period is to end; and

(v) with respect to Swing Loans, if the Borrower does not inform the Swing Line Lender that it intends to repay a Swing Loan on the last day of the applicable Interest Period from its own funds, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the amount of such Swing Loan, and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolver Percentage thereof and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Revolving Loans in the form of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the date such Swing Loan was required to be repaid in an amount equal to such Swing Loan (without regard to the minimums and multiples specified in Section 1.5), subject to (x) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments available at such time and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 (it being understood that the failure of the Borrower to repay such Swing Loan to the Swing Line Lender from its own funds at the end of the applicable Interest Period and any delay in the payment of any Swing Loan beyond the date and time when due shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default hereunder to the extent a Base Rate Loan is disbursed in accordance with this Section 1.7(v)).

Section 1.8 Maturity of Loans.

(a) Scheduled Payments of Term Loans. The Borrower shall make principal payments on the Term Loans in installments on the last day of each March, June, September and December in each year, commencing with the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2017, with the amount of each such principal installment to equal the amount set forth in Column B below shown opposite of the relevant due date as set forth in Column A below (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Agreement):

Each such principal payment shall be applied to the Lenders holding the Term Loans pro rata based upon their Term Loan Percentages of the Term Loans owed to them that are payable on such date (including exchange by the Rollover Lenders of the Existing 2015 Term Loans for Loans under this Agreement). If any New Term Loans are advanced pursuant to Section 1.16, the Borrower shall make principal payments on such New Term Loans as set forth in the Commitment Amount Increase Notice with respect thereto contemplated by, and as otherwise permitted by, Section 1.16 (and, in connection therewith, the amount of the scheduled installments payable with respect to the then existing Term Loans may be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such New Term Loans and may be further increased on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary practice and to the extent necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent for all such Term Loans to be treated as one tranche). If any Extended Term Loans are made pursuant to Section 1.18, the Borrower shall make principal payments on the Extended Term Loans in installments on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment. If any Refinancing Term Loans are made pursuant to Section 1.20(a), the Borrower shall make principal payments on Refinancing Term Loans in installments on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Refinancing Term Loan Amendment.

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, from and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding is $0.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under this Section 1.9(a) if such prepayment would have resulted from transactions, which transactions shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any time or from time to time make a Disposition (other than a Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to a Principal Owned Property which shall be subject to subsection (iii) below) or shall suffer an Event of Loss, then the Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such Disposition or Event of Loss (including the amount of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds to be received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect thereof) and, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay first, the relevant Term Loans, and second, the relevant Revolving Loans, together with a commensurate permanent reduction of the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments, in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of all such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that this subsection shall not require any such prepayment with respect to Net Cash Proceeds (x) received on account of Dispositions during any Fiscal Year of the Borrower not exceeding $2,500,000 in the aggregate or received on account of Events of Loss during any Fiscal Year of the Borrower not exceeding $2,500,000 in the aggregate and (y) other than during the Basket Suspension Period, in the case of any Disposition or Event of Loss not covered by clause (x) above, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if the Borrower (A) actually reinvests such Net Cash Proceeds, within 12 months of the receipt thereof, in assets that perform the same or similar function for the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are actually reinvested in such assets or (B) states in a notice delivered within 12 months of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, that the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary has committed to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds in assets that perform the same or similar function in the business of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are actually reinvested in such assets within 18 months following the receipt thereof. Promptly after the end of such 12-month or 18-month period, as applicable, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent whether the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary has reinvested such Net Cash Proceeds in such assets, and, to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds have not been so reinvested, the Borrower shall promptly prepay first, the relevant Term Loans, and second, the relevant Revolving Loans, together with a commensurate permanent reduction of the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments, in the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the applicable $2,500,000 basket described above not so reinvested. The amount of each such prepayment shall be applied to the relevant outstanding Term Loans and Revolving Loans (with a permanent reduction of the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments) in accordance with this Section 1.9 until paid in full.

(ii) If after the Closing Date the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall issue or incur any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money, other than Indebtedness for Borrowed Money permitted by Section 8.7 (including Indebtedness issued or incurred under Sections 1.16, 1.18 and 1.19 (but excluding Section 1.20 or any Indebtedness incurred as a Permitted Refinancing of all or a portion of existing Term Loans of any Class)), the Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance or incurrence. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof, 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied by the Borrower to prepay the relevant Term Loans and the relevant Revolving Loans (with a permanent reduction of the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments) in accordance with this Section 1.9 until paid in full. The Borrower acknowledges that its performance hereunder shall not limit the rights and remedies of the Lenders for any breach of Section 8.7 or any other terms of the Loan Documents.

(iii) If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any time or from time to time enter into a Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to a Principal Owned Property or sell the Equity Interests issued by a Principal Owned Property Holdco and thereafter lease the Principal Owned Property owned by such Principal Owned Property Holdco, other than any such transaction with respect to one or more Specified Sale/Leaseback Properties during the Basket Suspension Period (such transaction also referred to herein as a “Prepayment Sale/Leaseback Transaction”), in either case when the Total Leverage Ratio on a Pro-Forma Basis giving effect to such Prepayment Sale/Leaseback Transaction and the application of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available on or prior to the date such Prepayment Sale/Leaseback Transaction is consummated exceeds 2.50 to 1.00, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such Prepayment Sale/Leaseback Transaction (including the amount of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds to be received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect thereof) and, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay first, the relevant Term Loans, and second, the relevant Revolving Loans, together with a commensurate permanent reduction of the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments, in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of all such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, that this subsection (iii) shall not require any prepayment of Term Loans or Revolving Loans with the Net Cash Proceeds of a Prepayment Sale/Leaseback Transaction of a Principal Owned Property if the Borrower actually reinvests such Net Cash Proceeds, within nine months of the receipt thereof, in one or more other Principal Owned Properties. Promptly after the end of such nine-month period, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent whether the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary has so reinvested such Net Cash Proceeds in such assets, and, to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds have not been so reinvested, the Borrower shall promptly prepay the relevant Term Loans or Revolving Loans in the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds received from the applicable Prepayment Sale/Leaseback Transaction. The amount of each such prepayment shall be applied to the relevant outstanding Term Loans and Revolving Loans (with a permanent reduction of the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments) in accordance with this Section 1.9 until paid in full.

(iv) At the end of any Business Day from and after the Second Amendment Effective Date until the end of the Basket Suspension Period, if Holdings, the Borrower and their Restricted Subsidiaries hold Unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents in excess of $100,000,000, then the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) apply such amounts in excess of $100,000,000 first, to prepay outstanding Swing Loans, and second, to prepay outstanding Revolving Loans.

(v) ~~(iv)~~ The Borrower shall, on each date any Revolving Credit Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 1.13, prepay the Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and, if necessary, pre-fund the L/C Obligations (or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer) by the amount, if any, necessary to reduce the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and U.S. Dollar Equivalent of all L/C Obligations then outstanding with respect to such Class to the amount to which such Revolving Credit Commitments have been so reduced.

(vi) ~~(v)~~ Unless the Borrower otherwise directs, prepayments of Loans of any type under this Section 1.9(b) shall be applied first to Borrowings of Base Rate Loans until payment in full thereof with any balance applied to Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans in the order in which their Interest Periods expire. Each prepayment of Loans under this Section 1.9(b) shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment together with any amounts due to the Lenders under Section 1.12.

(vii) ~~(vi)~~ If at any time the sum of the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of all L/C Obligations then outstanding of any Class shall be in excess of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class in effect at such time, the Borrower shall immediately and without notice or demand pay over the amount of the excess to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders as and for a mandatory prepayment on such Obligations, with each such prepayment first to be applied to the Revolving Loans and Swing Loans until paid in full with any remaining balance to be held by the Administrative Agent in the Collateral Account as security for the Obligations owing with respect to the Letters of Credit.

(c) Application of Payments. ~~Any~~Except as set forth in subsections (b)(i) and (b)(iii) above, any amount of Revolving Loans and Swing Loans paid or prepaid before the relevant Revolving Credit Termination Date may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be borrowed, repaid, and borrowed again. No amount of the Term Loans paid or prepaid may be reborrowed, and, in the case of any partial prepayment, (i) in the case of optional prepayments made pursuant to subsection (a) above, such prepayment shall be applied to the remaining amortization payments on the Term Loans of such Class in accordance with instructions of the Borrower (and in the event the Borrower fails to so instruct, such prepayment shall be applied to the remaining amortization payments on the Term Loans of such Class in direct order of maturity) and (ii) in the case of mandatory prepayments made pursuant to subsection (b) above, such prepayment shall be applied to the remaining amortization payments on the relevant Term Loans of such Class in direct order of maturity.

(d) Restricted Amounts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all mandatory prepayments made pursuant to subsection (b) above, to the extent attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries, are subject to restrictions under the applicable local law, including financial assistance or corporate benefit provisions, restrictions on the making of dividends or other distributions of cash in respect of the Equity Interests of such Foreign Subsidiaries and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant Foreign Subsidiaries. It is understood and agreed that if the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary would incur a material tax liability, including a deemed dividend pursuant to Section 956 of the Code, if all or a portion of the funds required to make a mandatory prepayment pursuant to clause (b) above were distributed as a dividend or a distribution or otherwise transferred in cash to the Borrower (a “Restricted Amount”), the amount the Borrower will be required to mandatorily prepay pursuant clause (b) above may, at the option of the Borrower, be reduced by the Restricted Amount until such time as such dividend, distribution or other transfer of such Restricted Amount may be made without incurring such tax liability.

(e) Declined Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event the Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Term Loans or the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 1.9(b)(i) or (iiiii), not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which the Borrower elects (or is otherwise required) to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, the Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender ~~holding an outstanding Term Loan~~ of the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the date that is one (1) Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment less the amount of the Declined Proceeds (as defined below), which amount shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to prepay the Term Loans or the Revolving Loans, as applicable, of those Lenders that have elected to accept such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment (which prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied to the scheduled installments of principal of the Term Loans in the applicable Class(es) of Term Loans in accordance with clause (c) above). The portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment otherwise payable to those Lenders that have elected to exercise such option and decline such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) shall be retained by the Borrower for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) Other Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.9(b), any amounts required to be prepaid pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iiiii) of Section 1.9(b) shall be reduced pro rata by any amounts required to be prepaid under similar provisions contained in agreements governing indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 8.7(n) or (o) to the extent permitted to be paid pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 1.10 Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (and in lieu thereof), while any Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (with respect to any principal, interest or fees), Section 9.1(j) or Section 9.1(k) has occurred and is continuing or after acceleration of the Obligations, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon and in any event to the extent permitted by law) on such overdue principal, interest or fees at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) equal to:

(a) for any Base Rate Loan or any Swing Loan bearing interest based on the Alternate Base Rate, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin plus the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect;

(b) for any Eurodollar Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus (x) until the end of the applicable Interest Period in effect immediately prior to such Event of Default, the Eurodollar Rate in effect thereon plus the Applicable Margin and (y) thereafter, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin plus the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect;

(c) for any Reimbursement Obligation, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans plus the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect; and

(d) for any Letter of Credit fee, the sum of 2.0% plus the Letter of Credit fee due under Section 2.1 with respect to such Letter of Credit.

While any such Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or after acceleration of the Obligations, accrued and unpaid interest having accrued at the Default Rate shall be paid on demand of the Administrative Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders.

Section 1.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the type thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

(d) Any Lender may request through the Administrative Agent that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or notes substantially in the forms of Exhibit D-1 (in the case of its Term Loan and referred to herein as a “Term Note”), Exhibit D-2 (in the case of its Revolving Loans and referred to herein as a “Revolving Note”) or Exhibit D-3 (in the case of its Swing Loans and referred to herein as a “Swing Note”), as applicable (the Term Notes, Revolving Notes, and Swing Note being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Notes” and individually as a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender in the amount of the relevant Term Loan, Revolving Credit Commitment, or Swing Line Sublimit, as applicable. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 13.12) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 13.12, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced solely as described in subsections (a) and (b) above.

Section 1.12 Funding Indemnity. If any Lender shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to such Lender but excluding any loss of anticipated profit) as a result of:

(a) any payment (including any scheduled payment of principal on Term Loans), continuation, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), or

(b) any failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Section 7 or otherwise) by the Borrower to borrow or continue a Eurodollar Loan, or to convert a Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or 1.15, then, upon the demand of such Lender made within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of any such loss, cost or expense, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense (including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, but excluding any loss of profit) and any customary administrative fees charged by the Lender in connection with the foregoing. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount reasonably 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 Adjusted Eurodollar 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 U.S. Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) in accordance with the previous sentence and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be deemed prima facie correct, absent manifest error.

Section 1.13 Commitment Terminations. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon prior irrevocable (subject to the last sentence of this paragraph) written notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) five (5) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments without premium or penalty and in whole or in part, to reduce such Revolving Credit Commitments, any partial termination to be (i) in an amount not less than $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) allocated ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolver Percentages of the relevant Class, as applicable, provided that such Revolving Credit Commitment may not be reduced to an amount less than the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and L/C Obligations then outstanding in respect of such Class, except to the extent of any prepayment of Revolving Loans and Swing Loans or cash collateralization of L/C Obligations in connection therewith. Any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments below the L/C Sublimit or Swing Line Sublimit then in effect with respect to such Class shall reduce the L/C Sublimit and Swing Line Sublimit, as applicable, to such amount. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each applicable Lender of any such termination of the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments. Any termination of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.13 may not be reinstated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class if such termination would have resulted from transactions, which transactions shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.

Section 1.14 Substitution of Lenders. In the event (a) any Lender fails to fund (i) its Revolver Percentage of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans at a time when all of the conditions precedent under Section 7.1 or 7.2, as applicable, have been satisfied or fails to fund its Revolver Percentage of amounts owed under Section 1.3 or 1.15 or (ii) any portion of its Term Loans pursuant to any outstanding Term Loan Commitment at a time when all conditions precedent applicable thereto have been satisfied, (b) the Borrower receives a claim from any Lender or any governmental authority on account of any Lender for compensation under Section 10.3 or 13.1, (c) the Borrower receives notice from any Lender of any illegality pursuant to Section 10.1, (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or is otherwise in default in any material respect with respect to its obligations under the Loan Documents or (e) a Lender fails to consent to an amendment, waiver or other modification requested under Section 13.13 at a time when the Required Lenders (or the requisite Lenders whose consent is required under Section 13.13) have approved such amendment or waiver (any such Lender referred to in clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may, in addition to any other rights the Borrower may have hereunder or under applicable law, (i) solely in the case of clause (a), (d) or (e), prepay the relevant Loans and/or terminate the relevant Commitments of such Affected Lender in respect of the relevant Credit Facility and the relevant Class thereunder, in any case at par plus accrued interest and fees, and additional amounts owed hereunder, but excluding any amount required by Section 1.12, if any or (ii) require, at the Borrower’s expense, any such Affected Lender to assign, at par plus accrued interest and fees, if any, (to be paid by the assignee) without recourse (other than as set forth in the applicable Assignment and Assumption), all of its interest, rights, and obligations hereunder in respect of the relevant Credit Facility and the relevant Class thereunder (including all of its relevant Commitments and the relevant Loans and Participating Interests in Letters of Credit and other amounts at any time owing to it hereunder and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Credit Facility and the relevant Class thereunder) to a Lender hereunder or an Eligible Assignee specified by the Borrower, provided that (w) such assignment shall not conflict with or violate any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority, (x) the Borrower shall have received written consent of the Administrative Agent as required by Section 13.12, (y) the Borrower shall have paid to the Affected Lender all amounts (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude any amounts referred to under Section 1.12) other than such principal owing to such Affected Lender hereunder, and (z) the assignment is entered into in accordance with the other requirements of Section 13.12; provided that any assignment fees and reimbursable expenses due thereunder shall be paid by the assignee Lender, commercial bank or other financial institution, as the case may be. In the event that an Affected Lender does not comply with the requirements of this Section 1.14 within one (1) Business Day after receipt of notice of its status as an Affected Lender, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 13.12 on behalf of an Affected Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 13.12.

Section 1.15 Swing Loans.

(a) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (with determination of satisfaction of the conditions in Section 7.1 to be made by the Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion, unless otherwise directed by the Required Revolving Lenders), as part of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 1.15, will make loans in U.S. Dollars to the Borrower under the Swing Line Facility (individually a “Swing Loan” and collectively the “Swing Loans”) which shall not in the aggregate at any time outstanding exceed the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Loans, when aggregated with the Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Swing Line Lender’s Commitment. The Swing Loans may be borrowed by the Borrower from time to time before the Revolving Credit Termination Date ~~(but not during the Covenant Suspension Period)~~ and Borrowings thereunder may be repaid and subsequently reborrowed before the Revolving Credit Termination Date ~~(but not during the Covenant Suspension Period)~~; provided that each Swing Loan must be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each Swing Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $50,000.

(b) Interest on Swing Loans. Subject to Section 1.10, each Swing Loan shall bear interest until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility as from time to time in effect (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed). Interest on each Swing Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of its Interest Period and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(c) Requests for Swing Loans. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender irrevocable prior notice (A) by telephone, (B) by written notice or (C) by electronic means; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of written notice no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date upon which the Borrower requests that any Swing Loan be made, of the amount and date of such Swing Loan, and the Interest Period requested therefor. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the proceeds of such Swing Loan shall be made available to the Borrower on the date so requested at the offices of the Administrative Agent in New York, New York, by depositing such proceeds to the credit of the Borrower’s operating account maintained with the Administrative Agent or as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may otherwise agree. Anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the undertaking of the Swing Line Lender to make Swing Loans shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (provided that the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make more than one Swing Loan during any one day and shall be entitled to assume that the conditions precedent to an advance of any Swing Loan have been satisfied unless notified to the contrary by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders).

(d) Refunding Loans. The Swing Line Lender (i) may, in its sole and absolute discretion (except as set forth in clause (ii) below), and (ii) shall, (x) upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default set forth in Section 9.1(a) or after acceleration of the Obligations, at any time, or (y) if any Swing Loan shall be outstanding for more than five (5) Business Days or if any Swing Loan is or will be outstanding on a date when the Borrower requests that a Revolving Loan of such Class be made, in each case on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf for such purpose) and with notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, request each Revolving Lender of such Class to make a Revolving Loan in the form of a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolver Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(j) or 9.1(k) exists with respect to the Borrower, regardless of the existence of any other Event of Default, each such Lender shall make the proceeds of its requested Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Swing Line Lender), in immediately available funds, at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in New York, New York, before 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following the day such notice is given. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit the proceeds of such Borrowing to the Swing Line Lender to repay the outstanding Swing Loans.

(e) Participations. If any Lender refuses or otherwise fails to make a Revolving Loan when requested by the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 1.15(d) (because an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(j) or 9.1(k) exists with respect to the Borrower or otherwise), such Lender will, by the time and in the manner such Revolving Loan was to have been funded to the Administrative Agent, purchase from the Administrative Agent an undivided participating interest in the outstanding Swing Loans in an amount equal to its Revolver Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans. Each Lender that so purchases a participation in a Swing Loan shall thereafter be entitled to receive its Revolver Percentage of each payment of principal received on the Swing Loan and of interest received thereon accruing from the date such Lender funded to the Swing Line Lender its participation in such Loan. The several obligations of the Lenders under this Section 1.15 shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Lender may have or have had against the Borrower, any other Lender or any other Person whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of the Commitments of any Lender, and each payment made by a Lender under this Section 1.15 shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(f) Provisions Related to New Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. If the maturity date shall have occurred in respect of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments at a time when another Class or Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments is or are in effect with a longer maturity date, then on the earliest occurring maturity date all then outstanding Swing Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swing Loans as a result of the occurrence of such maturity date).

(ii) except in connection with an Acquisition or other investment permitted hereunder on the applicable Increased Amount Date (in which case, Section 1.16(g) shall be applicable), (x) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Increased Amount Date (both prior to and after giving effect to such Commitment Amount Increase) and (y) each of the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if otherwise qualified by “material” or “material adverse effect”) as of said time, except to the extent the same expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date),

(iii) with respect to any Commitment Amount Increase in respect of New Revolving Credit Commitments, the New Revolving Credit Commitments material terms shall have all of the same terms and conditions as such existing Revolving Credit Commitments,

(iv) New Term Loans borrowed hereunder may be part of an existing Class of Term Loans, in which case such New Term Loans shall have all of the same terms and conditions as such existing Term Loans, or may constitute a new Class of Term Loans, in which case such New Term Loans shall have such terms and conditions as the Borrower and the applicable New Term Lenders shall agree (and which are satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that terms not substantially consistent with the then-existing applicable Class of Term Loans which are applicable only after the maturity and payment in full of such Term Loans are acceptable to the Administrative Agent)); provided that:

(A) the applicable maturity date of any such New Term Loans shall be no earlier than the final maturity date of the then outstanding Term Loans,

(B) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of all New Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the existing Term Loans,

(C) the interest rate applicable to the New Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable New Term Lenders; provided, however, that the interest rate (as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this clause (C) and in consultation with the Borrower) applicable to any such New Term Loans shall not be greater than 50 basis points above the applicable interest rate (including the Applicable Margin) payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to any existing Term Loans unless the interest rate applicable to the existing Term Loans is increased (which increase shall not require the consent of any Lender or the Borrower) to the extent necessary so that the interest rate applicable to such New Term Loans is no greater than 50 basis points above the interest rates of the existing Term Loans; provided that in determining the applicable interest rate: (x) margins as well as all upfront and similar fees and original issue discount paid in the primary syndication of the Commitment Amount Increase or the existing Term Loans (based on an assumed four year average life to maturity for the applicable facilities), and any amendments to the Applicable Margin under this Agreement that became effective subsequent to the Closing Date but prior to the time of such Commitment Amount Increase shall be included in such calculation, (y) arrangement, commitment, structuring and underwriting fees and any amendment fees paid or payable to the Arrangers (or their affiliates) in its capacity as such in connection with any of the existing Term Loans or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) in their capacities as applicable to any Commitment Amount Increase shall be excluded from such calculation and (z) if the New Term Loans include an interest rate floor greater than that applicable to the existing Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, such excess amount shall be equated to interest margin for determining the increase, and

(D) the New Term Loans shall share ratably in any prepayments of the existing Term Loans unless the Borrower and the Lenders in respect of the New Term Loans elect lesser payments; and

(v) the New Revolving Credit Commitments and/or New Term Loan Commitments will rank pari passu in right of payment and pari passu with respect to Liens on any Collateral with the existing Revolving Credit Commitments or existing Term Loans.

(b) Any New Term Loans effected through the establishment of one or more new series of Term Loans on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate Class of Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Term Loans are made that constitute an increase to an existing Class of Term Loans (with all of the same terms and conditions as such existing Class of Term Loans), subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each applicable existing Term Loan Lender and New Term Lender of such Class shall make a New Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment of such Class (it being understood that any New Term Loan Facility may provide for delayed draw term loans to be made on a date after the Increased Amount Date), (ii) any New Term Loan made by an existing Term Loan Lender and/or a New Term Lender pursuant to a Commitment Amount Increase shall be deemed a “Term Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and (iii) each New Term Lender with a New Term Loan shall become a Lender with respect to such Class of New Term Loans and New Term Loan Facility and all matters relating thereto.

(d) On any Increased Amount Date (or such later date as shall be applicable to any delayed draw Term Loan) on which any New Term Loans are made that constitute a new Class of Term Loans, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each applicable existing Term Loan Lender and New Term Lender of such Class shall make a New Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment (or, in the case of any delayed draw Term Loan, relevant portion thereof) of such Class, (ii) any New Term Loan of such Class made by an existing Term Loan Lender and/or a New Term Lender pursuant to a Commitment Amount Increase shall be deemed a “Term Loan” made pursuant to a separate Class of Term Credit Facility for all purposes of this Agreement and (iii) each New Term Lender with a New Term Loan shall become a Lender with respect to such Class of New Term Loans and New Term Loan Facility and all matters relating thereto.

(e) On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Revolving Credit Commitments are effected as an increase to one or more existing Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) at such time and in such manner as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, each of the existing Revolving Lender’s shall assign to each New Revolving Lender, and each New Revolving Lender shall purchase from each of the existing Revolving Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans of such Class outstanding on the date of such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary such that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Lenders and New Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class after giving effect to such Commitment Amount Increase, (ii) each New Revolving Credit Commitment obtained by a Revolving Lender pursuant to a Commitment Amount Increase shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement, a “Revolving Loan” and (iii) each Lender with a New Revolving Credit Commitment shall become a Lender with respect to such Class of New Revolving Credit Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

(f) The Borrower agrees to pay the reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent relating to any Commitment Amount Increase. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment or advance New Term Loans and no Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment or advance New Term Loans. Each Commitment Amount Increase Notice entered into in connection with any Commitment Amount Increase may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 1.16 and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 1.16 shall supersede any provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 1.3, Section 1.9, Section 1.15, Section 3, Section 13.7 and Section 13.13) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or conflict with any New Revolving Credit Commitment, New Term Loan Commitments or other increases in Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments as contemplated by this Section.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other provision of any Loan Document, if the proceeds of any New Term Loans are intended to be applied to finance an Acquisition or other investment permitted hereunder (x) with the consent of the Lenders providing such New Term Loans, the availability thereof may be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality, (y) the availability thereof may be subject to the existence of no Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), (j) or (k) and (z) compliance with the Secured Leverage Ratio will be determined as of the date of the execution of the definitive agreement with respect thereto.

Section 1.17 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(a) such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Required Revolving Lenders” and “Required Term Lenders”;

(b) all obligations of any such Defaulting Revolving Lender to purchase participations in or otherwise refinance or support such Swing Loans and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolver Percentages thereof, but only to the extent (i) the sum of the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Revolver Percentages of the aggregate outstanding amount of all Revolving Loans and all L/C Obligations do not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) no non-Defaulting Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations exceeds such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that no reallocation under this clause (b) 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;

(c) if the reallocation described in clause (b) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, and the Administrative Agent shall not have sufficient cash collateral pursuant to Section 1.17(e) to secure the obligations of such Lender the Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days following written notice by the Administrative Agent, at the Borrower’s option, (i) in the case of any Swing Loans, prepay any outstanding Swing Loans to the extent the obligations of the applicable Defaulting Lender to purchase participations in or otherwise refinance or support Swing Loans have not been reallocated pursuant to clause (b) above, (ii) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata share of the obligations to purchase participations in or otherwise refinance or support Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (b) above) for so long as such obligations are outstanding or (iii) make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to protect the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, from the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender;

(d) if the obligations of the applicable Defaulting Revolving Lender to purchase Participating Interests in or otherwise refinance or support Letters of Credit are reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (b) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.1(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Revolving Lender’s Revolver Percentages;

(e) any payment of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.16 shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment, on a pro rata basis, of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the L/C Issuer’s exposure and Swing Line Lender’s exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 1.17(c); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the L/C Issuer’s and the Swing Line Lender’s future exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued and Swing Loans, as applicable, under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 were satisfied and waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded Participating Interests in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to Section 1.17(b);

(f) any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 1.17 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

(g) no such Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 2 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and no fees shall accrue for the account of such Defaulting Lender during the period that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender); provided that such Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and (b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolver Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral in respect thereof; and

(h) if the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolver Percentages (without giving effect to Section 1.17(b)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and 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 Lenders’ having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 1.18 Term Loan Maturity Extensions.

(a) Other than during the Basket Suspension Period, the Borrower may from time to time on any Business Day at least thirty (30) days before the final maturity date of the Term Loans of any Term Credit Facility request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any such Term Credit Facility (the Term Loans of such Term Credit Facility that are requested to be converted, the “Existing Term Loans”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Existing Term Loans (any such Existing Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 1.18; provided that (i) the Borrower shall make such request for conversion and extension to all Lenders holding the Existing Term Loans and (ii) any such extension of a maturity date shall be for a minimum period of one (1) year. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders holding the Existing Term Loans) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established which shall be identical to the Existing Term Loans from which they are to be converted (unless (A) such terms are not less favorable to the Lenders of the Existing Term Loans or (B) such terms are only applicable to periods after the latest maturity date of the Existing Term Loans prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans) except (i) all or any of the principal installment payment dates of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be no earlier than) the corresponding scheduled principal installment payment dates of the Existing Term Loans from which they are to be converted (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 1.8 or in the Term Loan Extension Amendment, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were converted), (ii) the interest rate applicable to the Extended Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Existing Term Loans from which they are to be converted, and (iv) the Extended Term Loans shall share ratably in any prepayments (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Existing Term Loans for which they are to be converted, unless the Borrower and the Lenders in respect of the Extended Term Loans elect lesser payments. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Term Loans converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans and Term Credit Facility from the Existing Term Loans and Term Credit Facility from which they were converted. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.18 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Term Loan Extension Request) and hereby acknowledge and agree that this Section 1.18 shall supersede any provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 1.9, Section 3, Section 13.7 and Section 13.13) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or conflict with any such Extended Term Loans or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.

(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Term Loan Extension Request to the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be reasonably agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior to the date on which Lenders holding the Existing Term Loans are requested to respond and the applicable Term Loan Extension Request shall be provided to the Lenders no later than twenty (20) days before the final maturity date of the Term Loans being extended. Any Lender (an “Extending Term Loan Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Existing Term Loans subject to such Term Loan Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (a “Term Loan Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Term Loan Extension Request (which date shall be no later than fifteen (15) days before the final maturity date of the Term Loans being extended) of the amount of its Existing Term Loans which it has elected to convert into Extended Term Loans. In the event that the aggregate amount of Existing Term Loans subject to Term Loan Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Term Loan Extension Request, Existing Term Loans subject to Term Loan Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Existing Term Loans included in each such Term Loan Extension Election. Such extensions of Term Loans shall not be deemed to be voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 1.9(a).

(c) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (a “Term Loan Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the provisions of this Section 1.18 executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Term Loan Lenders (which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 13.13, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Term Loan Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans established thereby); provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the effective date of the Term Loan Extension Amendment and the Borrower shall be in compliance with the financial covenants in Section 8.22 on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to the conversion of the applicable Extended Term Loans (as though such applicable Extended Term Loans had been incurred on the first day of such calculation period and remained outstanding through the calculation date); (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans which the Borrower seeks to convert into Extended Term Loans shall not be less than $5,000,000 and the maturity date of such Extended Term Loans shall be no less than twelve months after the maturity date of the Existing Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were converted; (iii) the Borrower at its election may specify in its Term Loan Extension Request as a condition to consummating any such Term Loan Extension Amendment that a minimum amount of Existing Term Loans be converted to Extended Term Loans and (iv) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other customary closing documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. All Extended Term Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower agrees to pay the reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent relating to any Term Loan Extension Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Term Loan Extension Amendment. Any Extended Term Loan made by a Term Loan Lender pursuant to a Term Loan Extension Amendment shall be deemed a “Term Loan” made pursuant to a separate Class of Term Credit Facility for all purposes of this Agreement (provided that any Extended Term Loan may be provided as an increase to any prior Class of Term Credit Facility) and each Lender with an Extended Term Loan shall become a Lender with respect to such Extended Term Loans and all matters relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at no time shall there be Term Loans (including Extended Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans and New Term Loans) which have more than five different scheduled final maturity dates or shall there be more than five different “Term Credit Facilities”.

Section 1.19 Revolving Credit Termination Date Extensions.

(a) Other than during the Basket Suspension Period (except as set forth in the Second Amendment), the Borrower may from time to time on any Business Day at least thirty (30) days before the Revolving Credit Termination Date request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments (and the Revolving Loans made thereunder) of any such Revolving Credit Facility (the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Revolving Credit Facility that are requested to be converted, the “Existing Revolving Credit Commitments” and the Revolving Loans made thereunder, the “Existing Revolving Loans”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date of all or a portion of such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so converted, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” (and the Revolving Loans made thereunder, the “Extended Revolving Loans”)) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 1.19; provided that (i) the Borrower shall make such request for conversion and extension to all Lenders holding the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) any such extension of a maturity date shall be for a minimum period of one (1) year. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders holding the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments or Existing Revolving Loans) (a “Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans to be established, which shall be identical to the Existing Revolving Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments from which they are to be converted (unless (A) such terms are not less favorable to the Lenders of the Existing Revolving Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments or (B) such terms are only applicable to periods after the latest maturity of the Existing Revolving Loans or the latest Revolving Credit Termination Date prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) except (i) all or any dates the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are required to be permanently reduced may be delayed to later dates than (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be no earlier than) the corresponding required commitment reduction dates of the Existing Revolving Loans from which they are to be converted, (ii) the termination date of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to later dates than (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be no earlier than) the Revolving Credit Termination Date of the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and (iii) the interest rate applicable to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Revolving Loans or Existing Revolving Credit Commitments converted into Extended Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, pursuant to any Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments with respect thereto shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans from the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and Existing Revolving Loans from which they were converted. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.19 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Request and hereby acknowledge and agree that this Section 1.19 shall supersede any provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation Section 1.3, Section 1.9, Section 1.15, Section 3, Section 13.7 and Section 13.13) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or conflict with any such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.

(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Request to the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be reasonably agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior to the date on which Lenders holding the Existing Revolving Loans or Existing Revolving Credit Commitments are requested to respond and the applicable Term Loan Extension Request shall be provided to the Lenders no later than twenty (20) days before the final maturity date of the Revolving Credit Commitments being extended. Any Lender (an “Extending Revolving Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Existing Revolving Loans and Existing Revolving Credit Commitments subject to such Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Request converted into Extended Revolving Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (a “Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Request (which date shall be no later than fifteen (15) days before the final maturity date of the Revolving Credit Commitments being extended) of the amount of its Existing Revolving Loans and Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which it has elected to convert into Extended Revolving Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. In the event that the aggregate amount of Existing Revolving Loans and/or Existing Revolving Credit Commitments subject to Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments requested pursuant to the Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Request, Existing Revolving Loans and Existing Revolving Credit Commitments subject to Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Existing Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, included in each such Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Election. Such extensions of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans shall not be deemed to be permanent commitment reductions pursuant to Section 1.13 or voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 1.9(a).

(c) Extended Revolving Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (a “Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the provisions of this Section 1.19 executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Revolving Lenders (which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 13.13, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Revolving Lenders with respect to the Extended Revolving Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments established thereby); provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the effective date of the Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Amendment and the Borrower shall be in compliance with the financial covenants in Section 8.22 on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to the conversion of the applicable Extended Revolving Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (as though such applicable Extended Revolving Loans had been incurred and the entire amount of all Extended Revolving Credit Commitments is fully drawn on the first day of such calculation period and remained outstanding through the calculation date); (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Existing Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, which the Borrower seeks to convert into Extended Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable shall not be less than $5,000,000 and the termination date of such Extended Revolving Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be no less than twelve months after the termination date of the Existing Revolving Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments from which such Extended Revolving Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments were converted; (iii) the Borrower at its election may specify in its Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Request as a condition to consummating any such Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Amendment that a minimum amount of Existing Revolving Credit Commitments or Existing Revolving Loans be converted to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Loans and (iv) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other customary closing documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

The Borrower agrees to pay the reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent relating to any Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Amendment. Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment (and the Loans made thereunder) made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to a Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Amendment shall be deemed a “Revolving Credit Commitment” and “Revolving Loan,” as applicable, made pursuant to a separate Class of Revolving Credit Facility for all purposes of this Agreement (provided that any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment may be provided as an increase to any other exiting Class of Revolving Credit Facility) and each Lender with an Extended Revolving Loan shall become a Lender with respect to such Extended Revolving Loans and all matters relating thereto.

In addition, in accordance with Section 1.3(h), (i) with respect to any Letter of Credit the expiration date for which extends beyond the maturity date for a Class of non-extended Revolving Credit Commitments, Participating Interests in such Letters of Credit on such maturity date shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class to Lenders holding Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with Section 1.3(h) and the terms of such Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Amendment (provided that such Participating Interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, be deemed to be Participating Interests in respect of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and the terms of such Participating Interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly) and (ii) limitations on drawings of Revolving Loans and issuances, extensions and amendments to Letters of Credit shall be implemented giving effect to the foregoing reallocation prior to such reallocation actually occurring to ensure that sufficient Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are available to participate in any such Letters of Credit.

(e) The Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans established pursuant to the Second Amendment shall be permitted notwithstanding the Basket Suspension Period, and the Second Amendment shall constitute a Revolving Credit Commitment Extension Amendment for all purposes hereunder.

provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Event of Default specified in clauses (a) through (e) above shall arise with solely as a result of a failure of performance, inaccuracy of a representation or warranty, breach of covenant or invalidity or impairment of a security interest, in each case specified in or required by an Application other than by reference to a representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking, default or security requirement set forth in this Agreement or the Security Agreement.

Section 9.2 Non-Bankruptcy Defaults. When any Event of Default other than those described in subsection (j) or (k) of Section 9.1 has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by written notice to the Borrower: (a) if so directed by the Required Lenders, terminate the remaining Commitments and all other obligations of the Lenders hereunder on the date stated in such notice (which may be the date thereof); (b) if so directed by the Required Lenders, declare the principal of and the accrued interest on all outstanding Loans to be forthwith due and payable and thereupon all outstanding Loans, including both principal and interest thereon, shall be and become immediately due and payable together with all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents without further demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind; and (c) if so directed by the Required Lenders, demand that the Borrower immediately pay to the Administrative Agent 103% of the full amount then available for drawing under each or any Letter of Credit to be held as collateral pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof, and the Borrower agrees to immediately make such payment and acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders would not have an adequate remedy at law for failure by the Borrower to honor any such demand and that the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, shall have the right to require the Borrower to specifically perform such undertaking whether or not any drawings or other demands for payment have been made under any Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent, after giving notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.1(c) or this Section 9.2, shall also promptly send a copy of such notice to the other Lenders, but the failure to do so shall not impair or annul the effect of such notice.

124

Section 9.3 Bankruptcy Defaults. When any Event of Default described in subsections (j) or (k) of Section 9.1 has occurred and is continuing, then all outstanding Loans shall immediately become due and payable together with all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, the obligation of the Lenders to extend further credit pursuant to any of the terms hereof shall immediately terminate without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent 103% of the full amount then available for drawing under all outstanding Letters of Credit to be held as collateral pursuant to Section 9.4, the Borrower acknowledging and agreeing that the Lenders would not have an adequate remedy at law for failure by the Borrower to honor any such demand and that the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent on their behalf, shall have the right to require the Borrower to specifically perform such undertaking whether or not any draws or other demands for payment have been made under any of the Letters of Credit.

Section 9.4 Collateral for Undrawn Letters of Credit.

(a) If the prepayment of the amount available for drawing under any or all outstanding Letters of Credit is required under Section 1.9(b) or under Section 9.2 or 9.3, the Borrower shall forthwith pay in cash the amount required to be so prepaid, to be held by the Administrative Agent as provided in subsection (b) below.

(b) All amounts prepaid pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be held by the Administrative Agent in one or more separate collateral accounts (each such account, and the credit balances, properties, and any investments from time to time held therein, and any substitutions for such account, any certificate of deposit or other instrument evidencing any of the foregoing and all proceeds of and earnings on any of the foregoing being collectively called the “Collateral Account”) as security for, and for application by the Administrative Agent (to the extent available) to, the reimbursement of any payment under any Letter of Credit then or thereafter made by the L/C Issuer, and, thereafter, to the payment of the unpaid balance of all other Obligations (and to all Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer, Deposit Account Liability and Foreign LCs). The Collateral Account shall be held in the name of and subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuer. If and when requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall invest funds held in the Collateral Account from time to time in direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America with a remaining maturity of one year or less; provided that the Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized to sell investments held in the Collateral Account when and as required to make payments out of the Collateral Account for application to amounts due and owing from the Borrower to the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders; provided, however, that if the Borrower shall have made payment of all obligations referred to in subsection (a) above required under Section 9.2 or 9.3, so long as no Letters of Credit, Commitments, Loans or other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), remain outstanding, at the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall release to the Borrower any remaining amounts held in the Collateral Account.

125

Section 9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower to the extent required under Section 9.1(c) promptly upon being requested to do so by the Required Lenders and shall thereupon notify all the Lenders thereof.

SECTION 10. Change in Circumstances.

Section 10.1 Change in Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if at any time any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof makes it unlawful for any Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, of any governmental authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 1.12.

Section 10.2 Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (i) the Administrative Agent determines that (A) deposits in U.S. Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to banks in the interbank Eurodollar market for such Interest Period, or (B) (x) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan and (y) the circumstances described in Section 10.2(c)(i) do not apply (in each case with respect to this clause (i), “Impacted Loans”), or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 10.2(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

126

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (i) of the first sentence of Section 10.2(a), the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (i) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (i) of the first sentence of Section 10.2(a), (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (iii) any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any governmental authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any governmental authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of the establishment of an alternative interest rate pursuant to this clause (b).

(c) 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 Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

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

(ii) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans; provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide LIBOR after such specific date (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(iii) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over such administrator has made a public statement announcing that all Interest Periods and other tenors of LIBOR are no longer representative; or

(iv) ~~(iii)~~ syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 10.2, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR;

127

~~then, reasonably promptly after~~ ~~such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and~~

then, in the case of clauses (i)-(iii) above, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “LIBOR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and shall occur reasonably promptly upon the occurrence of any of the events or circumstances under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, LIBOR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with, subject to the proviso below, the first available alternative set forth in the order below for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “LIBOR Successor Rate”; and any such rate before giving effect to the Related Adjustment, the “Pre-Adjustment Successor Rate”):

(x) Term SOFR plus the Related Adjustment; and

(y) SOFR plus the Related Adjustment;

and in the case of clause (iv) above, the Borrower and Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing LIBOR under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document in accordance with ~~this~~ ~~Section 10.2~~ ~~with (x) one or more SOFR-Based Rates or (y)~~ another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (the “Adjustment”, and any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), and anythe definition of “LIBOR Successor Rate” and such amendment ~~shall~~will become effective at 5:00 p.m., on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have ~~posted such proposed amendment to~~notified all Lenders and the Borrower of the occurrence of the circumstances described in clause (iv) above unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders ~~(A) in~~object to the ~~case~~implementation of ~~an amendment to replace~~a LIBOR ~~with a rate described in~~ ~~clause (x), object to the Adjustment; or (B) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in~~ ~~clause (y), object~~Successor Rate pursuant to such ~~amendment~~clause; provided that ~~for the avoidance of doubt,~~ ~~in the case of clause~~, if the Administrative Agent determines that Term SOFR has become available, is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent and would have been identified as the Pre-Adjustment Successor Rate in accordance with the foregoing if it had been so available at the time that the LIBOR Successor Rate then in effect was so identified, and the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and each Lender of such availability, then from and after the beginning of the Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, in each case, commencing no less than thirty (A30), days after the ~~Required Lenders shall not be entitled to object to any SOFR-Based Rate contained in any such amendment. Such~~date of such notice, the Pre-Adjustment Successor Rate shall be Term SOFR and the LIBOR Successor Rate shall be Term SOFR plus the relevant Related Adjustment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of (x) any occurrence of any of the events, periods or circumstances under clauses (i)-(iii) above, (y) a LIBOR Replacement Date and (z) the LIBOR Successor Rate.

Any LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent ~~in consultation with the Borrower~~.

128

~~If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the~~ circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) the Eurodollar Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any ~~definition of~~time any LIBOR Successor Rate ~~shall provide that in no event shall such~~as so determined would otherwise be less than 1.00%, the LIBOR Successor Rate ~~be less than~~will be deemed to be 1.00% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a LIBOR Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

If the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 10.2(c)(i) through (iii) have occurred with respect to the LIBOR Successor Rate then in effect, then the successor rate thereto shall be determined in accordance with the definition of “LIBOR Successor Rate.”

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) after any such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such notice described under Section 10.2(c)(i) through (iii), as applicable, if the Administrative Agent determines that none of the LIBOR Successor Rates is available on or prior to the LIBOR Replacement Date, (ii) if the events or circumstances described in Section 10.2(c)(iv) have occurred but none of the LIBOR Successor Rates is available, or (iii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 10.2(c)(i) through (iii) have occurred with respect to the LIBOR Successor Rate then in effect and the Administrative Agent determines that none of the LIBOR Successor Rates is available, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing LIBOR or any then current LIBOR Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 10.2 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any Related Adjustments and any other mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a LIBOR Successor Rate. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

129

(e) If, at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with clause (c) or (d) of this Section 10.2 and the circumstances under clause (c)(i) or (c)(iii) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans, Interest Periods, interest payment dates or payment periods) and (y) the Eurodollar Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate, until the LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with clause (c) or (d). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans, Interest Periods, interest payment dates or payment periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.

Section 10.3 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If, on or after the Closing Date, any Change in Law:

(i) shall subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender (or its Lending Office) or the L/C Issuer to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Eurodollar Loans, its Notes, its Letter(s) of Credit, or its Participating Interest in any thereof, any Reimbursement Obligations owed to it or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, issue a Letter of Credit, or to participate therein (provided that this clause (i) shall not apply to (a) Indemnified Taxes or (b) Excluded Taxes); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Eurodollar Loans any such requirement included in an applicable Eurodollar reserve percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Lending Office) or the L/C Issuer or shall impose on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or the L/C Issuer or the interbank market any other condition affecting its Eurodollar Loans, its Notes, its Letter(s) of Credit, or its Participating Interest in any thereof, any Reimbursement Obligation owed to it, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or to issue a Letter of Credit, or to participate therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Office) or the L/C Issuer of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, issuing or maintaining a Letter of Credit, or participating therein, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender or the L/C Issuer to be material, then, within thirty (30) days after demand by such Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer for such increased cost or reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 10.3(a) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Upon the receipt by the Borrower of such demand, the Borrower shall have the option to immediately repay such Eurodollar Loan or convert such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan (in each case, subject to Section 1.12), or cause the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to terminate such Letter of Credit, in each case in order to minimize or eliminate such increased cost or reduction.

130

(b) If, after the Closing Date, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent shall have determined that any Change in Law, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) or the L/C Issuer or any Person controlling such Lender or the L/C Issuer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has had the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s or such Person’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s or such Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the L/C Issuer to be material, then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after demand by such Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer for such reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 10.3(b) for any reduced return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer notifies the Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such reduced return and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the change in law giving rise to such reduced return is retroactive then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer claiming compensation under this Section 10.3 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it in accordance with this Section 10.3 shall be conclusive if reasonably determined and absent manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender or the L/C Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d) In the case of any request for compensation under this Section 10.3 resulting from a market disruption, (A) such circumstances must generally affect the market in which the Loans trade and are issued and (B) such request must have been made by, or at the direction of, Lenders constituting Required Lenders.

Section 10.4 Lending Offices. Each Lender may, at its option, elect to make its Loans hereunder at the branch, office or affiliate specified on the appropriate signature page hereof (each a “Lending Office”) for each type of Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.5 Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder with respect to Eurodollar Loans shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of deposits in the interbank eurodollar market having a maturity corresponding to such Loan’s Interest Period, and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

Section 10.6 Mitigation. Any of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 10.1, Section 10.3, Section 13.1 or Section 13.15 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office or take other appropriate action if the making of such filing or change or the taking of such action would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue or avoid the circumstances giving rise to such exercise and would not, in the sole determination of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, result in any additional costs, expenses not otherwise compensated or be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower as promptly as practicable upon its becoming aware that circumstances exist that would cause the Borrower to become obligated to pay additional amounts to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 10.1, Section 10.3, Section 13.1 or Section 13.15.

131

SECTION 11. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

Section 11.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

(a) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer (and each other Secured Creditor that is not a party hereto, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof and of the other Loan Documents) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as an agent of, as applicable, such Lender or L/C Issuer (or such other Secured Creditor) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer (and each other Secured Creditor that is not a party hereto, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof and of the other Loan Documents) irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, through its agents or employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and any rights of the Secured Creditors with respect thereto as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders (and the other Secured Creditors) and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Each Lender irrevocably appoints each other Lender as its agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting Liens (whether pursuant to Section 8-301(a)(2) of the UCC or otherwise), for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, in assets in which, in accordance with the UCC or any other applicable Legal Requirement a security interest can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Collateral Agent) obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly following the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. The Lenders hereby (and each other Secured Creditor, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof and of the other Loan Documents) acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent may act, subject to and in accordance with the terms of customary intercreditor agreements or intercreditor agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, if reasonably necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent, as the collateral agent for the Lenders.

132

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, each Loan Party agrees to, and each of the Secured Creditors by its acceptance of the benefits hereof and of the other Loan Documents, hereby irrevocably authorizes, the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Creditors shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained Section 13.13), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Creditor or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Creditor or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

(d) By its acceptance of the benefits hereof and of the other Loan Documents, each Secured Creditor that is not a party hereto hereby (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Loan Documents and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own decision to become a Secured Creditor and acknowledges that it is aware of the contents of, and consents to the terms of, the Loan Documents, (ii) agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of the Collateral Documents, the Guarantees and Section 11 (other than Section 11.6) and Section 13 (with respect to each such Section, as if such Secured Creditor were a Lender party to this Agreement) and will perform in accordance with its terms all such obligations which by the terms of such documents are required to be performed by it as a Secured Creditor (or in the case of Section 11 (other than Section 11.6) and Section 13, as a Lender) and will take no actions contrary to such obligations; and (iii) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents and the Guarantees as Collateral Agent and on behalf of such Secured Creditor.

133

Section 11.2 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. Each person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer.

Section 11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability, or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Legal Requirements including, for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Insolvency 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) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to disclose or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to, obtained or in the possession of such person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by such Agent. No Agent shall be liable to any other Secured Creditor 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, or as any Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.2, 9.3 or 13.13) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof describing such Default is given to such Agent by Borrower, a Lender, or the L/C Issuer, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 7 or elsewhere in any Loan Document other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents and the notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment.

134

Section 11.4 Reliance by Agent. Each 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, sent, or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent 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. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless each Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 11.5 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 11 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Persons of each Agent and any such sub-agents, and shall apply, without limiting the foregoing, to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. The Agents shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 11.6 Successor Agent.

(a) Each Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent (x) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), (j) or (k) has occurred and is continuing and (y) shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower shall not have responded (whether affirmatively, negatively or to respond that the relevant officers of the Borrower are not then available to make a determination) to a request for such consent within ten (10) Business Days after such request is made), to appoint a successor Agent (which shall not be a Disqualified Institution). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent (x) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), (j) or (k) has occurred and is continuing and (y) shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower shall not have responded (whether affirmatively, negatively or to respond that the relevant officers of the Borrower are not then available to make a determination) to a request for such consent within ten (10) Business Days after such request is made), which may not be a Disqualified Institution and which successor shall be a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; provided that if such retiring Agent is unable to find a commercial banking institution that is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth above, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as collateral agent for the Secured Creditors for perfection purposes, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed), and the Required Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent. In no event shall any successor Agent be a Defaulting Lender.

135

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (e) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent (x) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), (j) or (k) has occurred and is continuing and (y) shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower shall not have responded (whether affirmatively, negatively or to respond that the relevant officers of the Borrower are not then available to make a determination) to a request for such consent within ten (10) Business Days after such request is made), appoint a successor (which shall not be a Disqualified Institution). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as collateral agent for the Secured Creditors for perfection purposes, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed).

(c) Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring (or retired) or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, 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 the L/C Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 11 and Section 13.15 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while it was acting as Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (a) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (b) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

136

Section 11.7 Non-Reliance on Agent, the Arrangers and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any Arranger to any Lender or the L/C Issuer as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or any Arranger have disclosed material information in their (or their Related Persons’) possession. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer represents to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, conducted its own credit analysis of, appraisal of and independent investigation of the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition, creditworthiness and affairs of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has reviewed each document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof (including any such terms and conditions set forth, or otherwise maintained, on the Platform with respect thereto). Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and 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 and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender or the L/C Issuer for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender as of the Closing Date represents and warrants as of the Closing Date to the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that such Lender is not and will not be (1) an employee benefit plan subject to title I of ERISA; (2) a plan or account subject to Section 4975 of the Code; (3) an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any such plans or accounts for purposes of ERISA or the Code; or (4) a “governmental plan” within the meaning of ERISA.

Section 11.8 Name Agents; No Other Duties, Etc. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Arrangers hold such title in name only, and that such title confers no additional rights or obligations relative to those conferred on any Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

Section 11.9 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender or L/C Issuer an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or L/C Issuer because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender or L/C Issuer failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding tax from such payment, such Lender or L/C Issuer shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

137

Section 11.10 Lender’s Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgements.

(a) Each Lender has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Events hereunder and has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders. Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges that no Agent or Related Person of any Agent has made any representation or warranty to it. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by an Agent to the Lenders or L/C Issuer, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility (either express or implied) to provide any Lender or L/C Issuer with any credit or other information concerning any Loan Party, including the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, that may come in to the possession of an Agent or any of its Related Persons.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption and funding its Loan, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, on the Closing Date.

Section 11.11 Collateral Documents and Guaranty.

(a) Agents under Collateral Documents and Guaranty. Each Secured Creditor hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Creditors with respect to the Security Agreement, the Collateral and the Loan Documents; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations with respect to any agreement governing any Hedging Liability. Subject to Section 13.13, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Creditor, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary or otherwise advisable or customary to (i) in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, evidence the release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets or to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 13.13) have otherwise consented in accordance with Section 13.13 or (ii) evidence the release any Guarantor from the Security Agreement pursuant to Section 11.11 or with respect to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 13.13) have otherwise consented in accordance with Section 13.13.

138

(b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Creditor hereby agree that (i) no Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Security Agreement, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Creditors (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, (a) the Collateral Agent’s security interest in any Collateral shall be released upon, and the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any agreement governing any Hedging Liability) take such actions as shall be required or otherwise advisable or customary to evidence the release of its security interest in any Collateral subject to, any sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of such Collateral (or owned by a Guarantor that is subject to any such sale, transfer, lease or other disposition) permitted by the Loan Documents or to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 13.13) have consented in accordance with Section 13.13, (b) any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document shall be released upon, and the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any agreement governing any Hedging Liability) take such actions as shall be required or otherwise advisable or customary to evidence the release of any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any person subject to, any such sale, transfer, lease or other disposition.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any agreement governing any Hedging Liability) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired, the Collateral Agent’s security interest in any Collateral and all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document shall be released and, upon request of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any agreement governing any Hedging Liability) take such actions as shall be required or otherwise advisable or customary to evidence the release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of any agreement governing any Hedging Liability. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

139

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to, and shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any agreement governing any Hedging Liability) (a) subordinate any Lien granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders to any Liens permitted by Sections 8.8 (a), (d), (j), (k), (o) (to the extent the relevant Lien is of the type to which the Lien of the Administrative Agent is otherwise required to be subordinated under this clause (c)(iii) pursuant to any of the other exceptions to Section 8.8 that are expressly included in this clause (c)(iii)) (p)(i), (r), (s)(ii), (u)(i), (w), (x) and (y) and (b) enter into customary subordination, collateral trust, intercreditor and/or similar agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to indebtedness that is required or permitted to be pari passu or subordinated pursuant to Section 1.16, 1.20, 8.7 or 8.8.

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

Section 11.12 Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;

(b) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations 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 L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Section 1.3, 2 or 13.15) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(c) 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 the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, 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 this Agreement. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

140

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

SECTION 12. The Guarantees.

Section 12.1 The Guarantees. To induce the Lenders to provide the credit facilities described herein and in consideration of benefits expected to accrue to the Guarantors by reason of the Commitments and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantors (including any Restricted Subsidiary executing an Additional Guarantor Supplement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F or such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower after the Closing Date), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee jointly and severally to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any Person that enters into any agreement with the Borrower or any Guarantor establishing a Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer, Deposit Account Liability and Foreign LCs, the due and punctual payment of all present and future Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Funds Transfer, Deposit Account Liability and Foreign LCs, including, but not limited to, the due and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, and the due and punctual payment of all other Obligations now or hereafter owed by the Borrower under the Loan Documents and the due and punctual payment of all Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer, Deposit Account Liability and Foreign LCs, in each case as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, according to the terms hereof and thereof (including interest which, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, would otherwise accrue on any such indebtedness, obligation, or liability) (all such obligations referred to in clauses (x) and (y) above (other than Excluded Swap Obligations) being herein collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). In case of failure by the Borrower or other obligor punctually to pay any Guaranteed Obligations, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally agrees to make such payment or to cause such payment to be made punctually as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Borrower or such obligor; provided that it is understood and agreed that each Qualified ECP Guarantor guarantees the obligations of each other Guarantor under this Section 12.1 (including all Hedging Liabilities that would otherwise be deemed to be Excluded Swap Obligations) and that each such guarantee is intended as a “guarantee” as described under Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 12.2 Guarantee Unconditional. The guarantee by each Guarantor under this Section 12 is an absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment when due, and not of collection, by each Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations in each and every particular. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are several from those of each other Guarantor and are primary obligations concerning which each Guarantor is the principal obligor.

Subject to Section 12.6, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which any Guarantor may have at any time against any other Guarantor or the Borrower, any Agent or other Secured Creditor or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Creditor under any document evidencing or governing the Guaranteed Obligations but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Borrower or such other Loan Party.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be released, discharged, or otherwise affected by:

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver, or release in respect of any obligation of the Borrower or of any other Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by operation of law or otherwise;

142

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer, Deposit Account Liability and Foreign LCs;

(c) any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any of their respective assets, or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or of any other Guarantor contained in any Loan Document;

(d) the existence of any claim, set off, or other rights which the Borrower or any other guarantor may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection herewith;

(e) any failure to assert, or any assertion of, any claim or demand or any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights or remedies against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any other Person or Property;

(f) any application of any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any obligation of the Borrower or other obligor, regardless of what obligations of the Borrower or other obligor remain unpaid;

(g) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor for any reason of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer, Deposit Account Liability and Foreign LCs or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer, Deposit Account Liability and Foreign LCs; or

(h) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 12 other than payment in full of the Obligations.

Section 12.3 Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. Each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 12 shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments are terminated, all Letters of Credit have expired (or been cash collateralized or backed by standby letters of credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer or “grandfathered” into any future credit facilities), all Hedging Liabilities and Funds Transfer, Deposit Account Liabilities and Foreign LCs have been paid in full (or been cash collateralized in a manner reasonably acceptable to the applicable counterparty) and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents and all other Obligations have been paid in full, unless such Guarantor is otherwise released from its obligations under this Section 12 pursuant to Section 11.11. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount payable by the Borrower or other obligor or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Borrower or other obligor or of any Guarantor, or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 12 with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such time, unless such Guarantor is otherwise released from its obligations under this Section 12 pursuant to Section 11.11.

143

Section 12.4 Subrogation. Each Guarantor agrees it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation by any payment made hereunder, or otherwise, until all the Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Funds Transfer, Deposit Account Liability and Foreign LCs shall have been paid in full (other than contingent obligations not yet accrued and payable) and subsequent to the termination of all the Commitments and expiration of all Letters of Credit (or such Letters of Credit have been cash collateralized or backed by standby letters of credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer or “grandfathered” into any future credit facilities), subject to Section 12.6. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the later of (x) the payment in full of the Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Funds Transfer, Deposit Account Liability and Foreign LCs and all other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder and the other Loan Documents and (y) the termination of the Commitments and expiration of all Letters of Credit (or such Letters of Credit have been cash collateralized or backed by standby letters of credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer or “grandfathered” into any future credit facilities), such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer (and their Affiliates) and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (and their Affiliates) or be credited and applied upon the Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Funds Transfer, Deposit Account Liability and Foreign LCs, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 12.5 Waivers. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest, and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person against the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person.

Section 12.6 Limit on Recovery. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of recovery against each Guarantor under this Section 12 shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render such Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 12 void or voidable under applicable law, including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor (other than Holdings) under the guarantee set forth in this Section 12 at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee set forth in this Section 12 not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance after giving full effect to the liability under the Guarantee set forth in this Section 12 and its related contribution rights set forth in the following sentence but before taking into account any liabilities under any other guarantee by such Guarantors. To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of any guaranteed obligation exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the value actually received by such Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Borrower) from the Loans and such other obligations and (b) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the guaranteed obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Borrower) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on such date, then such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Guarantors on such date. For purposes of determining the net worth of any Guarantor in connection with the foregoing, all guarantees of such Guarantor other than the Guarantee under this Section 12 will be deemed to be enforceable and payable after the Guarantee under this Section 12.

Section 12.7 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or under any agreement establishing Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer, Deposit Account Liability and Foreign LCs, is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or such obligor, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or under any agreement establishing Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer, Deposit Account Liability and Foreign LCs, shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

144

Section 12.8 Benefit to Guarantors. The Borrower and the Guarantors are engaged in related businesses and integrated to such an extent that the financial strength and flexibility of the Borrower has a direct impact on the success of each Guarantor. Each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extensions of credit hereunder.

Section 12.9 Guarantor Covenants. Each Guarantor shall take such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to cause such Guarantor to take, and shall refrain from taking such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to prohibit such Guarantor from taking.

SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.

Section 13.1 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction, reduction or withholding for any and all Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required by applicable Legal Requirements to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions, reductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 13.1(a)) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions, reductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall make such deductions, reductions or withholdings, and (iii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements; provided, that if the Borrower reasonably believes that such taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer pays any amount in respect of any such Indemnified Taxes, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer for that payment (plus any reasonable expenses) within thirty (30) days of written demand in the currency in which such payment was made, so long as such demand has been made within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender or the L/C Issuer has made such payment. If the Borrower or such Guarantor pays any such Indemnified Taxes, it shall deliver official tax receipts or other official documentation evidencing that payment or copies thereof to the Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent on whose account such withholding was made (with a copy to the Administrative Agent if not the recipient of the original) on or before the thirtieth day after payment.

145

(b) Each Lender or L/C Issuer that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date the initial Credit Event is made hereunder or, if later, the date such Person becomes a Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder, a duly completed and signed copy of (i) Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (relating to such Lender or L/C Issuer and entitling it to a complete exemption from or reduction of withholding under an applicable tax treaty on amounts to be received by such Lender or L/C Issuer, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Obligations), Form W-8ECI (relating to amounts to be received by such Lender or L/C Issuer, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Obligations), Form W-8EXP or Form W-8IMY (together with the required attachments) of the United States Internal Revenue Service or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, and (ii) solely if such Lender or L/C Issuer is claiming exemption from United States withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, and a certificate of such Lender or L/C Issuer representing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such Lender or L/C Issuer is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), and such Lender or L/C Issuer agrees that it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in the event any such representation is no longer accurate. Each Lender or L/C Issuer that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date the initial Credit Event is made hereunder or, if later, the date such Person becomes a Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder, a duly completed and signed copy of Form W-9 of the United States Internal Revenue Service or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto. Thereafter and from time to time each Lender or L/C Issuer shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or the other of such documents, information and forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) (A) upon the expiration of any previously delivered forms, documents or information and (B) as may be (i) requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent in a notice, directly or through the Administrative Agent, to such Lender or L/C Issuer and (ii) required under then current United States law or regulations to avoid or reduce United States withholding taxes on payments in respect of all amounts to be received by such Lender or L/C Issuer, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents or the Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision in Section 13.1, a Lender or L/C Issuer that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 13.1(b) to the extent such Lender is not legally able to deliver it.

(c) Any Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent claiming any indemnity payment or additional payment amounts payable pursuant to this Section 13.1 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amount which may thereafter accrue, would not require such Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent to disclose any information such Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent deems confidential and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent.

(d) Inability of Lender or L/C Issuer to Submit Forms. If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines, as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application or interpretation thereof, that it is unable to submit to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent any form or certificate that such Lender or L/C Issuer is obligated to submit pursuant to subsection (b) or (g) of this Section 13.1 or that such Lender or L/C Issuer is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted or any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or inaccurate, such Lender or L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such fact and the Lender or L/C Issuer shall to that extent not be obligated to provide any such form or certificate and will be entitled to withdraw or cancel any affected form or certificate, as applicable.

146

(e) Reimbursement. If any Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent determines, in good faith, that it has received a refund of any taxes as to which it has been indemnified y the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 13.1, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 13.1 with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent in the event such Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(f) Failure to Submit Required Forms. If any of the forms or other documentation required under subsection (b) above or subsection (g) below are not delivered to the Administrative Agent and Borrower (or, in the case of an assignee of a Lender or L/C Issuer which (x) is an Affiliate of such Lender, L/C Issuer or a Related Fund of such Lender and (y) does not deliver an Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent for recordation pursuant to the last sentence of Section 13.12(b), to the assigning Lender or L/C Issuer only) as therein required (as modified by subsection (d)), then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may withhold any payment to such Lender or L/C Issuer not providing such forms or other documentation in an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax as required by applicable Legal Requirements.

(g) FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender or L/C Issuer under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or L/C Issuer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or L/C Issuer has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Section 13.2 No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies.

(a) No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender or on the part of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations in the exercise of any power or right under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Lenders and of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.16, or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.6(b) and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

147

Section 13.3 Non-Business Days. Unless otherwise specified herein, if any payment or the performance of any obligation hereunder or any other Loan Document becomes due and payable or performable as the case may be on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment or the date of such performance shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and payable or such performance required. In the case of any payment of principal falling due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest on such principal amount shall continue to accrue during such extension at the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for the payment of interest.

Section 13.4 Documentary Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer and any of their Affiliates with respect to any documentary, stamp or similar taxes payable in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including interest and penalties applicable thereto, in the event any such taxes are assessed, irrespective of when such assessment is made and whether or not any credit is then in use or available hereunder, except any such taxes imposed with respect to an assignment. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent official receipts or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent promptly after any such payment.

Section 13.5 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in any other Loan Document or in documents given pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any credit is in use or available hereunder. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any extension of credit hereunder.

Section 13.6 Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and other provisions relating to reimbursement to the Lenders and L/C Issuer of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders and L/C Issuer with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit, including, but not limited to, Sections 1.12, 10.3 and 13.15, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment of the Obligations or the time periods specified in this Agreement.

148

Section 13.7 Sharing of Set-Off.

(a) Each Lender agrees with each other Lender party hereto that if such Lender shall receive and retain any payment (whether by set off or application of deposit balances or otherwise, but excluding (x) any payment obtained as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of a participation in, any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, or (y) any payment as otherwise expressly provided herein, including in Sections 1.16, 1.18, 1.19, 1.20, 13.10, 13.11 and 13.12) on any of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in excess of its ratable share of payments on all such Obligations then outstanding to the Lenders, then such Lender shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, or participations therein, held by each such other Lenders (or interest therein) as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. For purposes of this Section 13.7, amounts owed to or recovered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Reimbursement Obligations in which Lenders have been required to fund their Participating Interests shall be treated as amounts owed to or recovered by the L/C Issuer as a Lender hereunder.

(b) To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (x) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (y) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (y) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 13.8 Notices.

(a) Notices Generally.

Each Lender shall have the right at its own cost to grant participations (to be evidenced by one or more agreements or certificates of participation) in the Loans made and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans and/or Commitments held by such Lender at any time and from time to time to one or more other Persons (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or a Disqualified Institutions (but only to the extent that the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available to all Lenders), a “Participant”); provided that no such participation shall relieve any Lender of any of its obligations under this Agreement, and, provided, further, that no such participant shall have any rights under this Agreement except as provided in this Section 13.11, and the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or responsibility to such participant. Any agreement pursuant to which such participation is granted shall provide that the granting Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to exercise rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to enforce the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, except that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of the Loan Documents that would reduce the amount of or postpone any fixed date for payment of any Obligation in which such participant has an interest which requires the consent of each affected Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of the first proviso of Section 13.13(a) (subject to the other provisions of Section 13.13 including clause (b) thereof). Subject to Section 13.25 hereof, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any participant or prospective participant (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude any Disqualified Institution (but only to the extent that the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available to all Lenders)) under this Section 13.11 any financial or other information pertaining to Holdings, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Any party which has been granted a participation shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 1.12, Section 10.3 and Section 13.4 hereof only to the extent of the benefits accruing to the Lender granting the participation if such participant is not an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender. Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.1 hereof as if it were a Lender; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 13.1(a) with respect to any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Participant at the time it acquires a participation in the Loans or Commitments made under this Agreement, except to the extent that such Participant is the Participant of a Lender who was entitled to receive such additional amounts from the Borrower.

In the event a participation is granted to a Person who does not satisfy the eligibility requirements of this Section 13.11, the Borrower shall be entitled to pursue any remedy available to it (whether at law or in equity, including specific performance to unwind such participation) against the Lender selling the participation and such participant.

153

(vi) ~~(vii)~~ Certain Additional Payments. 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 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, the L/C Issuer or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans in accordance with its Revolver 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.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.12(b), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 10.3, 13.6 and 13.15 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; 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. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.11. Each assignee shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.1 as a Lender, but, with respect to Section 13.1(a), only to the extent such assignee delivers the tax forms as is required pursuant to Section 13.1(b) and (f) (as the case may be); provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 13.1(a) with respect to any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such assignee at the time it becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new lending office, except to the extent that such assignee was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to Section 13.1(a) or is the assignee of a Person who was entitled to receive such additional amounts from the Borrower.

The Borrower agrees that the list of Disqualified Institutions may be posted by the Administrative Agent to all Lenders, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to post such list to all Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

154

(b) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Pledge or Grant of Security Interests. Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or grant to a Federal Reserve Bank (or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender), but excluding any such pledge or grant to any Disqualified Institution, and this Section 13.12 shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or secured party for such Lender as a party hereto; provided, further, however, the right of any such pledgee or grantee (other than any Federal Reserve Bank (or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender)) to further transfer all or any portion of the rights pledged or granted to it, whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be at all times subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Swing Line Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time the Swing Line Lender assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (a) above and resigns as Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.6, the Swing Line Lender may terminate the Swing Line Facility. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts pursuant to Section 1.15). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Loans pursuant to Section 1.15. Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(e) Assignments Made in Violation. Any assignment made to any Person in violation of this Section 13.12 shall be null and void.

155

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers incurred on or after the Closing Date within thirty (30) days of a written demand therefor, together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request, associated with the syndication of the Credit Facilities and the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect thereto (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, taken as a whole, and, (x) if necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction to such Persons, taken as a whole and (y) if reasonably determined by any of the Administrative Agent’s or the Arrangers’ counsel that representation of all such Persons would create a conflict of interest, of one additional counsel to all affected Persons taken as a whole), together with any fees and charges suffered or incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers in connection with title insurance policies, if any, collateral filing fees and lien searches and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, audits of the Collateral performed by the Administrative Agent or its agents or representatives; and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer within thirty (30) days of a written demand therefor, together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole, and, (x) if necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction to such Persons, taken as a whole and (y) if reasonably determined by any of the Administrative Agent’s or Arrangers’ counsel that representation of all such Persons would create a conflict of interest, of one additional counsel to all affected Persons taken as a whole) in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents. In addition to the reimbursement provisions set forth above, the Borrower further agrees to indemnify the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender, and each Related Person of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) against, and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from, all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnified Persons taken as a whole and, solely in the case of an actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all affected Indemnified Persons taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction to such Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole) incurred in respect of the Credit Facilities or the use or proposed use of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit, except to the extent they arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or a material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnified Person (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) or any dispute solely among Indemnified Persons (other than any claims against an Indemnified Person in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Arrangers) and not arising out of any act or omission of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Borrower). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) each Indemnified Person shall be obligated to refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower to such indemnified Person for fees, expenses or damages to the extent such Indemnified Person is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof and (b) the Borrower will only be liable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including legal fees, expenses and disbursements) under this Agreement to the extent such out-of-pocket costs and expenses are invoiced within a ninety (90) day period for which the underlying service giving rise to such obligation occurred (other than in the case of certain vendor or foreign local counsel fees and disbursement, in which case, the ninety (90) day period may be extended as reasonably agreed to by the Borrower). This Section 13.15(a) shall not apply with respect to taxes other than any taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-tax claim.

158

(b) To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) of this Section 13.15 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any Related Person of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or such Related Person, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the total unused Commitments and Revolving Credit Commitment exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment to be made severally among them based on such Lenders’ percentage of aggregate unused Commitments and outstanding Loans, in each case, under the applicable Class (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided, further that, the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Person of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (b) are subject to the provisions of Section 13.22.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto (and their respective Related Persons) shall not assert, and hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any other party (or their respective Related Persons), 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 contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations hereinabove to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which an Indemnified Person is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder. No Indemnified Person referred to in subsection (a) above 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 Indemnified Person 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 Indemnified Person as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 13.15 shall survive the payment and satisfaction of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 13.16 Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each subsequent holder of any Obligation is hereby authorized by the Borrower and such Guarantor at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts, tax accounts and payroll accounts or any other account containing solely tax or trust funds, and in whatever currency denominated) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender, the L/C Issuer or that subsequent holder to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or such Guarantor, whether or not matured, against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower or such Guarantor to that Lender, the L/C Issuer or that subsequent holder under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not (a) that Lender, the L/C Issuer or that subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 9 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or 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 1.17 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, the L/C Issuer 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.

159

Section 13.17 Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

Section 13.18 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER AND ALL CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 13.19 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document which is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. If any such provision is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.19, 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, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

160

Section 13.20 Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, herein or in any other Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section 13.20 shall govern and control, (b) no Borrower, Guarantor or endorser shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess Interest that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have received hereunder shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, be (i) applied as a credit against the then outstanding principal amount of Obligations hereunder and (ii) if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower, (d) the interest rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor or endorser shall have any action against the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any of the Borrower’s Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on the Borrower’s Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lenders have received the amount of interest which such Lenders would have received during such period on the Borrower’s Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 13.21 Construction. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to permit any act or omission which is prohibited by the terms of any Collateral Document, the covenants and agreements contained herein being in addition to and not in substitution for the covenants and agreements contained in the Collateral Documents.

Section 13.22 Lender’s and L/C Issuer’s Obligations Several. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders or the L/C Issuer pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders and the L/C Issuer a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.

Section 13.23 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND OF ANY APPELLATE COURT OF ANY THEREOF FOR PURPOSES OF ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OTHER LENDER OR ANY L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER, ANY GUARANTOR OR THEIR RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

161

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO, INCLUDING THE BORROWER, THE GUARANTORS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE L/C ISSUER AND THE LENDERS, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

(c) EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 13.8. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

Section 13.24 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer that is subject to the requirements of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107 56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender, or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

162

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (other than to any Disqualified Institution) (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers and employees (the “Representatives”) and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors on a “need to know” basis (it being understood that (i) the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will first be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and, to the extent customary for a Person in such position to do so, such Person shall have agreed to keep such Information confidential and (ii) the Person making disclosure pursuant to this clause (a) shall be responsible for the compliance by such Person’s Representatives having received such disclosure with the requirements of this Section 13.25), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); provided that so long as it is not prohibited, the disclosing party shall provide prompt written notice of such to the Borrower, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that so long as it is not prohibited, the disclosing party shall provide prompt written notice of such to the Borrower, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) to (A) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Representatives and legal counsel) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and its obligations; provided, that disclosure of any such Information pursuant to this clause (f) shall be made subject to the acknowledgment and acceptance by such assignee or prospective assignee or participant or prospective participant or actual or prospective counterparty that such information is being disseminated on a confidential basis (on substantially the terms set forth in this paragraph or as is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the standard practices of the Administrative Agent or market standards for dissemination of such type of Information, which shall in any event require “click through” or other affirmative action on the part of the recipient to access such Information and acknowledge its confidentiality obligations in respect thereof, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.25, (i) to the extent such Information becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.25; (j) to (x) rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Loans or Commitments hereunder or the Borrower or Holdings or any Guarantor or (y) the CUSIP Service Bureau of similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, or (k) to entities which compile and publish information about the syndicated loan market; provided that only basic information about the pricing and structure of the transaction evidenced hereby may be disclosed pursuant to this subsection (k). In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitments. For purposes of this Section 13.25, “Information” means all information received from Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries (including its Unrestricted Subsidiaries) or from any other Person on behalf of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (including its Unrestricted Subsidiaries) relating to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (including its Unrestricted Subsidiaries) or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or from any other Person on behalf of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligations to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 13.26 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower and each other Loan Party 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) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates 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, the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

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 Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable 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 the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(a) On and as of the Closing Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended, restated and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, do not constitute a novation, payment or reborrowing, or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) as in effect prior to the Closing Date and (ii) such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby) with only the terms thereof being modified as provided in this Agreement. Each reference to the “Credit Agreement” or “Loan Agreement” in any Loan Document shall be deemed to be a reference to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby.

(b) Each of the Borrower, Holdings and each Guarantor hereby confirms that each Loan Document to which it is a party or otherwise bound and all Collateral encumbered thereby will continue to guarantee or secure, as the case may be, to the fullest extent possible in accordance with the Loan Documents, the payment and performance of all “Obligations” under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party (in each case as such terms are defined in the applicable Loan Document). Each of the Borrower and Holdings acknowledges and agrees that (i) any of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or is otherwise bound shall continue in full force and effect and that all of its obligations thereunder shall be valid, enforceable, ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Agreement, and (ii) all security interests created under any of the Collateral Documents shall continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of such Collateral Document.

(c) Each Rollover Lender severally agrees to exchange its “Revolving Loans” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) (such loans, collectively, “Existing 2015 Revolving Loans”) outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement on the Closing Date as Revolving Loans hereunder, and as of the Closing Date such Existing Revolving Loans shall be automatically deemed to constitute Revolving Loans outstanding under this Agreement.

(d) Each Rollover Lender severally agrees to exchange its “Term Loans” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) (such loans, collectively, “Existing 2015 Term Loans”) outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement on the Closing Date as Term Loans hereunder, and as of the Closing Date such Existing Term Loans shall be automatically deemed to constitute Term Loans outstanding under this Agreement.

(e) On the Closing Date, without further action by any party hereto (including the delivery of a notice of the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 1.3 or any consent of, or confirmation by or to, the Administrative Agent), (i) each “Letter of Credit” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) listed on Schedule 13.29 hereto that was issued by a person that is an L/C Issuer hereunder (such letters of credit, collectively, “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall become a Letter of Credit outstanding under this Agreement, shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement and shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof as if each such Existing Letter of Credit were issued by the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) each L/C Issuer that has issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have granted each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired from such L/C Issuer, on the terms and conditions of Section 1.3, for such Revolving Lender’s own account and risk, an undivided interest and participation in such L/C Issuer’s obligations and rights under each such Existing Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s ratable share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit (including all obligations of the Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued and any security or guaranty pertaining thereto).

165

Section 13.30 Judgment Currency.

(a) The obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in a specified currency (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 a relevant L/C Issuer or Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to it under this Agreement or another Loan Document. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any 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 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 date on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(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, the Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, or remit, or cause to be remitted, 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.

(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange or currency equivalent for this Section 13.30, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

Section 13.31 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Obligation 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 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), that 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.
