Each such Lender’s obligation to make such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender under this paragraph (e), and such Issuing Lender’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the failure of any other Lender to make its payment under this paragraph (e), the financial condition of the Borrowers (or any other account party), the existence of any Default or the termination of the Commitments.

In the event any payment received by an Issuing Lender and so paid to a Lender hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by such Issuing Lender, such Lender shall, upon the request of such Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent), repay to such Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) the amount of such payment paid to such Lender, with interest at the rate specified in paragraph (j) of this Section 2.03.

2.05 Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee on the daily average unused amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment (for which purpose the aggregate amount of any Letter of Credit Liabilities in respect of Revolving Credit Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be a pro rata (based on the Revolving Credit Commitments) use of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment), for the period from and including the most recent date of payment under the Existing Credit Agreement prior to the Restatement Effective Date to but not including the earlier of the date such Revolving Credit Commitment is terminated and the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to (x) ¹⁄₂ of 1% at any time the then-current Rate Ratio (determined pursuant to Section 3.03 of this Agreement) is greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 and (y) ³⁄₈ of 1% at any time the then-current Rate Ratio (so determined) is less than 3.00 to 1.00.

2.06 Lending Offices. The Loans of each Type made by each Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type.

2.07 Several Obligations; Remedies Independent. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, but neither any Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender, and (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.06) no Lender shall have any obligation to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender for the failure by such Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement (including, without limitation, exercising any rights of off-set) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders, it being the intent of the Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders and not individually by a single Lender.

2.08 Loan Accounts; Promissory Notes.

(a) Maintenance of Records by Lenders.

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

(c) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.08 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it to the Borrowers be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans of the Borrowers evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.06) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

2.09 Optional Prepayments and Conversions or Continuations of Loans. Subject to Section 4.04, the Borrowers shall have the right to prepay Loans, or to Convert Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type or Continue Loans of one Type as Loans of the same Type, at any time or from time to time, provided that:

(ii) Eurodollar Loans may be prepaid or Converted at any time from time to time, provided that the Borrowers shall pay any amounts owing under Section 5.05 in the event of any such prepayment or Conversion on any date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans;

(iii) prepayments of any Class of Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining installments of such Loans ratably in accordance with the respective principal amounts thereof;

(iv) any Conversion or Continuation of Eurodollar Loans shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.01(f); and

(v) solely with respect to the Tranche F Term Loans, if on or prior to the six month anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date, (A) any optional or mandatory prepayment of the Tranche F Term Loans from the proceeds of a substantially concurrent borrowing of term loans is effected and the interest rate in respect of such term loans is less than the interest rate in respect of the Tranche F Term Loans; provided that, in determining such applicable interest rates, original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (but exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders providing such term loans) (which shall be deemed to constitute a like amount of OID) paid by the Borrowers to the lenders under the term loan in the initial primary syndication thereof shall be included and equated to interest rate (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year average life), or (B) any Non-Consenting Lender is required to transfer its Loans in connection with the Borrowers’ exercise of their rights pursuant to Section 5.08 in connection with an amendment to this Agreement that has the effect of lowering the interest rate (as determined in accordance with the preceding subclause (A)) on the Tranche F Term Loans, then, in each such case, the prepayment or assignment shall be accompanied by a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche F Term Loans, subject to such prepayment or assignment, as applicable.

It shall not be necessary in connection with the prepayment of any Class of Term Loans that concurrent prepayments be made of any other Class of Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights and remedies of the Lenders under Section 9, in the event that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may (and at the request of the Majority Lenders shall) suspend the right of the Borrowers to Convert any Loan into a Eurodollar Loan, or to Continue any Loan as a Eurodollar Loan, in which event all Loans shall be Converted (on the last day(s) of the respective Interest Periods therefor) or Continued, as the case may be, as Base Rate Loans.

Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to the Borrowers.

3.03 Determination of Applicable Margin.

(a) Determinations Generally. To the extent applicable, the Applicable Margin for the period from October 1, 2013 to the day prior to the first Quarterly Date occurring after the Restatement Effective Date shall be determined based upon the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Existing Credit Agreement. Thereafter, the Applicable Margin for each Quarterly Payment Period shall be determined based upon a Rate Ratio Certificate for such Quarterly Payment Period delivered by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.03. If the Rate Ratio Certificate for any Quarterly Payment Period is delivered to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy thereof to the Lenders) three or more days prior to the first day of such Quarterly Payment Period, any adjustment in the Applicable Margin required to be made, as shown in such Rate Ratio Certificate, shall be effective on the first day of such Quarterly Payment Period.

(b) Effectiveness of Adjustments. If the Rate Ratio Certificate for any Quarterly Payment Period is delivered by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent later than three days prior to the commencement of such Quarterly Payment Period, then (i) any decrease in the Applicable Margin for such Quarterly Payment Period shall not become effective on the first day of such Quarterly Payment Period but shall instead become effective on the third day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Rate Ratio Certificate and (ii) any increase in the Applicable Margin for such Quarterly Payment Period shall become effective retroactively from the first day of such Quarterly Payment Period.

(c) Retroactive Adjustments. If it shall be determined at any time, on the basis of a certificate of a Senior Officer delivered pursuant to the last sentence of Section 8.01, (or pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement) that the Applicable Margin then in effect for the current Quarterly Payment Period, or any previous Quarterly Payment Period, is or was incorrect, and that a correction would have the effect of increasing the Applicable Margin, then the Applicable Margin shall be so increased (solely with respect to such Quarterly Payment Period or Periods), effective retroactively from the first day of such Quarterly Payment Period, provided that in the event such certificate for any fiscal quarter is not delivered pursuant to Section 8.01 within 60 days of the end of such fiscal quarter, then, unless the Borrowers shall deliver such certificate within 10 days after notice of such non-delivery shall be given by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, the Applicable Margin for such Quarterly Payment Period shall be deemed to be the highest Applicable Margin provided for in the definition of such term in Section 1.01; provided, further, that for avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that Section 3.03 of the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue to be applicable to Quarterly Payment Periods (as defined therein) for periods prior to the Restatement Effective Date, and any adjustment required pursuant thereto shall continue to apply.

(d) Recalculation of Interest. In the event of any retroactive increase in the Applicable Margin for any Quarterly Payment Period pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above, the amount of interest in respect of any applicable Loan outstanding during all or any portion of such Quarterly Payment Period shall be recalculated using the Applicable Margin as so increased. On the Business Day immediately following receipt by the Borrowers of notice from the Administrative Agent of such increase, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of interest previously paid or payable by the Borrowers in respect of such Loan for such Quarterly Payment Period and (ii) the amount of interest in respect of such Loan as so recalculated for such Quarterly Payment Period.

(a) each borrowing of Loans of a particular Class from the Lenders under Section 2.01 shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fee under Section 2.05 in respect of Commitments of a particular Class shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.04 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class;

(b) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04, Eurodollar Loans of any Class having the same Interest Period shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of the relevant Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of the relevant Class (in the case of Conversions and Continuations of Loans);

(c) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans of any Class by the Borrowers shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and

(d) each payment of interest on Loans of any Class by the Borrowers shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

4.03 Computations. Interest on Eurodollar Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable and interest on Base Rate Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, commitment fee and letter of credit fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed (including the first day but, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.03(g), excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each day that the Base Rate is calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.

4.04 Minimum Amounts. Except for mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.10 and Conversions or prepayments made pursuant to Section 5.04, each borrowing, Conversion and partial prepayment of principal of Base Rate Loans (other than mandatory prepayments of Term Loans, as to which the provisions of Section 2.10 shall apply) shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $500,000 and each borrowing, Conversion and partial prepayment of Eurodollar Loans (other than prepayments of Term Loans, as to which the provisions of Section 2.09(c) shall apply) shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $3,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 (borrowings, Conversions or prepayments of or into Loans of different Types or, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, having different Interest Periods at the same time hereunder to be deemed separate borrowings, Conversions and prepayments for purposes of the foregoing, one for each Type or Interest Period). If any Eurodollar Loans would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any period, such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans during such period.

4.05 Certain Notices. Notices by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent of terminations or reductions of the Commitments, of borrowings, Conversions, Continuations and optional prepayments of Loans and of Classes of Loans, of Types of Loans and of the duration of Interest Periods shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the Administrative Agent not later than (a) with respect to same day borrowings or prepayments of Base Rate Loans, 11:00 a.m. New York time on the date of the relevant borrowing or prepayment and (b) with respect to borrowings other than same-day Base Rate Loans or prepayments of Loans other than Base Rate Loans, 1:00 p.m. New York time on the number of Business Days prior to the date of the relevant termination, reduction, borrowing, Conversion, Continuation or prepayment or the first day of such Interest Period specified below:


Notice		Number of Business Days Prior
Termination or reduction of Commitments		3
Borrowing of same day Base Rate Loans and prepayment of Base Rate Loans		Same day


Notice		Number of Business Days Prior
Borrowing of non-same day Base Rate Loans		1
Conversions into Base Rate Loans		1
Borrowing or prepayment of, Conversions into, Continuations as, or duration of Interest Period for, Eurodollar Loans		3

Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify the amount and the Class of the Commitments to be terminated or reduced. Each such notice of borrowing, Conversion, Continuation or optional prepayment shall specify the Class of Loans to be borrowed, Converted, Continued or prepaid and the amount (subject to Section 4.04) and Type of each Loan to be borrowed, Converted, Continued or prepaid and the date of borrowing, Conversion, Continuation or optional prepayment (which shall be a Business Day). Each such notice of the duration of an Interest Period shall specify the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the contents of each such notice. In the event that the Borrowers fail to select the Type of Loan, or the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan, within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 4.05, such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Loan) will be automatically Converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan or (if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan) will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan.

4.06 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or the Borrowers (the “Payor”) prior to the date on which the Payor is to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (in the case of a Lender) the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder or (in the case of the Borrowers) a payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of one or more of the Lenders hereunder (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date; and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the “Advance Date”) such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day and, if such recipient(s) shall fail promptly to make such payment, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid, provided that if neither the recipient(s) nor the Payor shall return the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days of the Advance Date, then, retroactively to the Advance Date, the Payor and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated to pay interest on the Required Payment as follows:

(i) if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by the Borrowers to the Lenders, the Borrowers and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the Post-Default Rate (without duplication of the obligation of the Borrowers under Section 3.02 to pay interest on the Required Payment at the Post-Default Rate), it being understood that the return by the recipient(s) of the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent shall not limit such obligation of the Borrowers under Section 3.02 to pay interest at the Post-Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment and

(ii) if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made by the Lenders to the Borrowers, the Payor and the Borrowers shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment pursuant to whichever of the rates specified in Section 3.02 is applicable to the Type of such Loan, it being understood that the return by the Borrowers of the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent shall not limit any claim the Borrowers may have against the Payor in respect of such Required Payment.

4.07 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) Right of Set-off. Each Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (to the fullest extent permitted by law), to set off and apply any deposit (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), or other indebtedness, held by it for the credit or account of such Borrower at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such deposit or other indebtedness are then due to such Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, provided that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

(b) Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain from any Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or Letter of Credit Liability of any Class owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from the Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities of any Class or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by such Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities of any Class or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities of any Class or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Lenders. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

(c) Consent by the Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

(d) Rights of Lenders; Bankruptcy. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrowers. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Section 4.07 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 4.07 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

Section 5. Yield Protection, Etc.

5.01 Additional Costs.

(a) Costs of Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Loans. The Borrowers shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs that such Lender determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make any Eurodollar Loans hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Change in Law that:

(i) shall subject any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans) to any tax, duty or other charge in respect of such Loans or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement in respect of any of such Loans (excluding changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or of such Applicable Lending Office by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Applicable Lending Office); or

(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including, without limitation, any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of “Eurodollar Base Rate” in Section 1.01), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or

(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or its Commitments.

If any Lender requests compensation from the Borrowers under this Section 5.01(a), the Borrowers may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender thereafter to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, until the Change in Law giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 shall be applicable), provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

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

(c) Notification and Certification. Each Lender shall notify the Borrowers of any event occurring after the Restatement Effective Date entitling such Lender to compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5.01 as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 45 days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that (i) if any Lender fails to give such notice within 45 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 5.01 in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 5.01 for costs incurred from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Lender affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States of America. Each Lender will furnish to the Borrowers a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5.01. Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 5.01 of the effect of any Change in Law pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5.01, or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 5.01, on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the amounts required to compensate such Lender under this Section 5.01, shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.

5.02 Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any Eurodollar Base Rate for any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “Eurodollar Base Rate” in Section 1.01 are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Eurodollar Loans as provided herein; or

(b) if the related Loans are of a particular Class, the Majority Lenders of such Class determine, which determination shall be conclusive, and notify the Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of “Eurodollar Base Rate” in Section 1.01 upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely adequately to cover the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrowers and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Loans, to Continue Eurodollar Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, and the Borrowers shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Loans, either prepay such Loans or Convert such Loans into Base Rate Loans in accordance with Section 2.09.

5.03 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 shall be applicable).

5.04 Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Loans of any Class or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, Eurodollar Loans of any Class shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03, such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans of such Class shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans of such Class on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion resulting from a circumstance described in Section 5.03, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrowers with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.01 or 5.03 that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(a) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans of such Class have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans of such Class shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans of such Class; and

(b) all Loans of such Class that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Class of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into Eurodollar Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrowers with a copy to the Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 5.01 or 5.03 that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 5.04 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Loans of the same Class made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans of such Class shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Base Rate and Eurodollar Loans of such Class are allocated among the Lenders ratably (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

5.05 Compensation. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender determines is attributable to:

(a) any payment, mandatory or optional prepayment or Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b) any failure by the Borrowers for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the conditions precedent specified in Section 6 to be satisfied) to borrow a Eurodollar Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing given pursuant to Section 2.02.

Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at a rate per annum

equal to the interest component of the amount such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Lender).

5.06 Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers under Section 5.01 (but without duplication), if as a result of any Change in Law there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued hereunder and the result shall be to increase the cost to any Lender or Lenders of issuing (or purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit hereunder or reduce any amount receivable by any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit (which increases in cost, or reductions in amount receivable, shall be the result of such Lender’s or Lenders’ reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such increases or reductions resulting from such event), then, upon demand by such Lender or Lenders (through the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay immediately to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or Lenders, from time to time as specified by such Lender or Lenders (through the Administrative Agent), such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender or Lenders (through the Administrative Agent) for such increased costs or reductions in amount. A statement as to such increased costs or reductions in amount incurred by any such Lender or Lenders, submitted by such Lender or Lenders to the Borrowers shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error as to the amount thereof.

5.07 Tax Gross-up.

(a) Gross-up for Deduction or Withholding of Taxes. The Borrowers shall jointly and severally agree to pay to each Lender (or, if a Lender is not the beneficial owner of the relevant Loan, on account of the beneficial owner) such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the payment of any amount due to such Lender hereunder or under any other any Loan Document after deduction or withholding by an applicable withholding agent in respect of any Taxes imposed with respect to such payment will not be less than the amount stated herein to be then due and payable, provided that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts shall not apply to (A) any U.S. federal withholding Tax that is imposed on any payment to any Foreign Lender pursuant to a law that is in effect at the time of such Foreign Lender becoming a Lender under any Loan Document or a change in its Applicable Lending Office, except to the extent that such Foreign Lender (or its assignor if applicable) was entitled, immediately prior to such change in the Applicable Lending Office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Borrowers with respect to such withholding Tax pursuant to this Section 5.07, (B) any Tax that is attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with Section 5.07(e), (C) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA or (D) any Taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income or profits and franchise Taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income Taxes), however denominated, by a jurisdiction as a result of the Lender being organized or having its Applicable Lending Office in such jurisdiction (such Taxes other than the Taxes enumerated in the proviso, “Indemnified Taxes”).

(b) Other Taxes. The Borrowers agree to pay Other Taxes to the applicable governmental authority.

(c) Indemnification. Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.07) payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Deduction, Etc. Within 30 days after paying any amount to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after it is required by law to remit such deduction or withholding to any relevant taxing or other authority, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for delivery to such Lender evidence satisfactory to such Lender of such deduction or withholding (as the case may be).

(e) Certifications and Forms. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, deliver to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Each Foreign Lender shall, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Foreign Lender of the forms described above, whenever a lapse in time or change in such Foreign Lender’s circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or inaccurate, promptly (1) deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish such Foreign Lender’s status or that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax or (2) notify Administrative Agent and the Borrowers of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

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

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of MCC within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (“Tax Certificate”) and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms),

W-8BEN, a Tax Certificate, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a Tax Certificate on behalf of such beneficial owner(s),

(v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(f) Refund. If a Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Taxes as to which a Lender or the Administrative Agent has been indemnified by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.07, such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall, within 30 days from the date of receipt of such refund, pay over such refund to such Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund).

(g) Issuing Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 5.07, include any Issuing Lender.

5.08 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Lender (a) requests compensation pursuant to Section 5.01, 5.06 or 5.07, (b) has its obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any Type into the other Type of Loan, suspended pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03, (c) is a Defaulting Lender or (d) is a Non-Consenting Lender (any such Lender described in the foregoing clause (a) through (d) being herein called a “Specified Lender”), the Borrowers, upon three Business Days’ notice, may require that such Specified Lender transfer all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement to any bank or other financial institution (a “Proposed Lender”) identified by the Borrowers that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (i) if such Proposed Lender agrees to assume all of the obligations of such Specified Lender hereunder, and to purchase all of such Specified Lender’s Loans hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Specified Lender’s Loans, together with interest thereon to the date of such purchase (and, if applicable, any premium due pursuant to Section 2.09(v) with respect to the Tranche F Term Loans assigned by such Specified Lender), and satisfactory arrangements are made for payment to such Specified Lender of all other amounts payable hereunder to such Specified Lender on or prior to the date of such transfer (including any fees accrued hereunder and any amounts that would be payable under Section 5.05, as if all of such Specified Lender’s Loans were being prepaid in full on such date) and (ii) if such Specified Lender has requested compensation pursuant to Section 5.01, 5.06 or 5.07, such Proposed Lender’s aggregate requested compensation, if any, pursuant to Section 5.01, 5.06 or 5.07 with respect to such Specified Lender’s Loans is lower than that of the Specified Lender. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.06(b), such Proposed Lender shall be a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder the agreements of the Borrowers contained in Sections 5.01, 5.06, 5.07 and 11.03 (without duplication of any payments made to such Specified Lender by the Borrowers or the Proposed Lender) shall survive for the benefit of such Specified Lender under this Section 5.08 with respect to the time prior to such replacement.

Section 6. Conditions Precedent.

6.01 Amendment and Restatement. The amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement contemplated hereby shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of the following, each of which shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to each Lender in form and substance:

(a) Amendment and Restatement.

10.07 Failure To Act. Except for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 10.05 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.10.

(f) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01, 5.06 or 5.07 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.07 unless such Participant agrees to comply with Section 5.07 as though it were a Lender.

The Borrowers, certain lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 5, 2014 (as modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) providing, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for extensions of credit (by the making of loans and issuance of letters of credit) to be made by said lenders (collectively, together with any entity that becomes a “Lender” party to the Credit Agreement after the date hereof as provided therein, the “Lenders”) to the Borrowers in an aggregate principal or face amount not exceeding $921,000,000 (which may be increased as contemplated by Section 2.01(e) thereof, subject to the terms and conditions specified therein). In addition, the Borrowers may from time to time be obligated to various of the Lenders (or their affiliates) in respect of Interest Rate Protection Agreements permitted under Section 8.08(e) of the Credit Agreement (such indebtedness being herein referred to as the “Hedging Indebtedness”).

Pledge Agreement

To induce said lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to extend credit thereunder and to extend credit to the Borrowers that would constitute Hedging Indebtedness, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Securing Parties have agreed to pledge and grant a security interest in the Collateral (as hereinafter defined) as security for the Secured Obligations (as so defined). Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein. In addition, as used herein:

“Collateral” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 3 hereof.

“Collateral Account” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 4.01 hereof.

“Equity Collateral” shall mean, collectively, the Collateral described in clauses (a) through (c) of Section 3 hereof and the proceeds of and to any such property and, to the extent related to any such property or such proceeds, all books and other papers.

“Issuers” means, collectively, (a) the respective corporations, partnerships or other entities identified next to the names of the Securing Parties on Annex 1 under the caption “Issuer” and (b) any other entity that shall at any time be a subsidiary of any of the Securing Parties.

“Pledged Equity” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 3(a) hereof.

“Secured Obligations” shall mean, collectively, (a) in the case of the Borrowers, the principal of and interest on the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers, all Reimbursement Obligations and interest thereon and all other amounts from time to time owing to the Lenders (or, in respect of any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, any affiliate of a Lender) or the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all Hedging Indebtedness of the Borrowers), and all obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder and (b) in the case of each Subsidiary Guarantor, all Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under and as defined in the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement executed by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 6.11 hereof, and all other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder. For purposes hereof, it is understood any Secured Obligations to a Person arising under an agreement entered into at the time such Person (or an affiliate thereof) is a “Lender” party to the Credit Agreement shall nevertheless continue to constitute Secured Obligations for purposes hereof, notwithstanding that such Person (or its affiliate) may have assigned all of its Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other interests in the Credit Agreement and, therefor, at the time a claim is to be made in respect of such Secured Obligations, such Person (or its affiliate) is no longer a “Lender” party to the Credit Agreement. For purposes hereof, it is understood that any Hedging Indebtedness to any Person arising at a time a Person (or an affiliate thereof) is party to the Credit Agreement as a Lender shall

Pledge Agreement

continue to constitute Secured Obligations hereunder notwithstanding that such Person (or its affiliate) has ceased to be a Lender party to the Credit Agreement (by assigning all of its commitments, Loans and other interests therein) at the time a claim is to be made in respect of such Hedging Indebtedness, provided that no Hedging Indebtedness shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement unless the same has been designated as “Hedging Indebtedness” for purposes of this Agreement in a written notice delivered from the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent.

“Uniform Commercial Code” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York.

Section 2. Representations and Warranties. Each Securing Party represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that:

(a) Such Securing Party is the sole beneficial owner of the Collateral in which it purports to grant a security interest pursuant to Section 3 hereof and no Lien exists or will exist upon such Collateral at any time (and no right or option to acquire the same exists in favor of any other Person), except for Liens permitted under Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement and except for the pledge and security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders created or provided for herein, which pledge and security interest will, upon perfection under the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (but subject in any event to such Liens permitted under Section 8.06) constitute a first priority perfected pledge and security interest in and to all of such Collateral, to the extent such pledge and security interest can be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code.

(b) The Pledged Equity identified under the name of such Securing Party in Annex 1 is, and all other Pledged Equity in which such Securing Party shall hereafter grant a security interest pursuant to Section 3 will be, duly authorized, validly existing, fully paid and non-assessable (in the case of any equity interest in a corporation) and duly issued and outstanding (in the case of any equity interest in any other entity), and none of such Pledged Equity is or will be subject to any contractual restriction, or any restriction under the charter, by-laws, partnership agreement or other organizational document of the respective Issuer of such Pledged Equity, upon the transfer of such Pledged Equity (except for any such restriction contained herein or identified in Annex 1).

(c) The Pledged Equity identified under the name of such Securing Party in Annex 1 constitutes all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, partnership or other ownership interest of any class or character of the Issuers beneficially owned by such Securing Party on the date hereof (whether or not registered in the name of such Securing Party) and Annex 1 correctly identifies, as at the date hereof, the respective Issuers of such Pledged Equity and (in the case of any corporate Issuer) the respective class and par value of the shares comprising such Pledged Equity and the respective number of shares (and registered owners thereof) represented by each such certificate.

(d) the balance from time to time in the Collateral Account; and

(e) all proceeds of and to any of the property of such Securing Party described in the preceding clauses of this Section 3 and, to the extent related to any property described in said clauses or such proceeds, all books and other papers in the possession or under the control of such Securing Party.

Section 4. Cash Proceeds of Collateral.

4.01 Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent will cause to be established, or has caused to be established, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a “securities account” as defined in Section 8-501 of the Uniform Commercial Code (herein, the “Collateral Account”) in the name of the Administrative Agent as “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the Uniform Commercial Code) into which there shall be deposited from time to time the cash proceeds of any of the Collateral required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto or to the Credit Agreement and into which any Securing Party may from time to time deposit any additional amounts that it wishes to pledge to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as additional collateral security hereunder. Property from time to time standing to the credit of the Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Collateral hereunder and shall not constitute payment of the Secured Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided. Except as expressly provided in the next sentence or in Section 2.10(d) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall remit any collected cash standing to the credit of the Collateral Account to or upon the order of any Securing Party as such Securing Party through the Borrowers shall from time to time instruct. However, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Majority Lenders as specified in Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement, shall) in its (or their) discretion apply or cause to be applied the collected cash from time to time standing to the credit of the Collateral Account to the payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner specified in Section 5.09 hereof. Property from time to time standing to the credit of the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not a “qualified intermediary” within the meaning of Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Department regulations promulgated under the Code (a “Qualified Intermediary”), the cash proceeds held in the Collateral Account may be held by a Qualified Intermediary selected by the Borrowers (and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) acting as a sub-agent of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as collateral security hereunder.

4.02 Investment of Balance in Collateral Account. Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested from time to time in such Permitted Investments as the Borrowers (or, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Administrative Agent) shall determine, which Permitted Investments shall be held in the name and be under the control of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may at any time and from time to time (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) instruct the Administrative Agent to liquidate any such Permitted Investment and reinvest or withdraw the proceeds thereof as they shall in their discretion determine. Notwithstanding the forgoing, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Lenders as specified in Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from time to time elect to liquidate any such Permitted Investments and to apply or cause to be applied the proceeds thereof to the payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner specified in Section 5.09 hereof. All interest, dividends and other earnings in respect of Investments in the Collateral Account and, all proceeds of such Investments shall be retained in the Collateral Account or (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be withdrawn by the Borrowers as they shall in their discretion determine.

4.03 Cover for Letter of Credit Liabilities. Cash standing to the credit of the Collateral Account as cover for Letter of Credit Liabilities under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 2.10(f) or Section 9.01 thereof shall be held by the Agent in a separate sub-account (designated “Letter of Credit Liabilities Sub-Account”) and all amounts held in such sub-account shall constitute collateral security first for the Letter of Credit Liabilities outstanding from time to time and second as collateral security for the other Secured Obligations hereunder.

Section 5. Further Assurances: Remedies. In furtherance of the grant of the pledge and security interest pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Securing Parties hereby jointly and severally agree with each Lender and the Administrative Agent as follows:

5.01 Delivery and Other Perfection. Each Securing Party shall:

(b) give, execute, deliver, file and/or record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other papers that may be necessary or desirable (in the judgment of the Administrative Agent) to create, preserve, perfect or validate the security interest granted pursuant hereto or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such pledge and security interest, including, without limitation, causing any or all of the Equity Collateral to be transferred of record into the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee (and the Administrative Agent agrees that if any Equity Collateral is transferred into its name or the name of its nominee, the Administrative Agent will thereafter promptly give to the respective Securing Party copies of any notices and communications received by it with respect to the Equity Collateral pledged by such Security Party hereunder);

(c) keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Collateral, and stamp or otherwise xxxx such books and records in such manner as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require in order to reflect the security interests granted by this Agreement; and

5.02 Other Financing Statements and Liens. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (granted with the authorization of the Lenders as specified in Section 10.09 of the Credit Agreement), the Securing Parties shall not file or suffer to be on file, or authorize or permit to be filed or to be on file, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like instrument with respect to the Collateral in which the Administrative Agent is not named as the sole secured party for the benefit of the Lenders.

5.03 Preservation of Rights. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral.

5.04 Special Provisions Relating to Equity Collateral.

(a) The Securing Parties will cause the Equity Collateral to constitute at all times 100% of the total number of shares of each class of capital stock, or other ownership interests, of each Subsidiary of the Borrowers then outstanding.

(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Securing Parties shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Equity Collateral for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or agreement referred to herein or therein, provided that the Securing Parties jointly and severally agree that they will not vote the Equity Collateral in any manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any such other instrument or agreement; and the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Securing Parties or cause to be executed and delivered to the Securing Parties all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend and other orders, and all such instruments, without recourse, as the Securing Parties may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Securing Parties to exercise the rights and powers that they are entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 5.04(b).

(c) Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Securing Parties shall be entitled to receive and retain any payments in respect of the Equity Collateral permitted under the Credit Agreement.

(d) If any Event of Default shall have occurred, then so long as such Event of Default shall continue, and whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises any available right to declare any Secured Obligation due and payable or seeks or pursues any other relief or remedy available to it under applicable law or under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement

Pledge Agreement

-7-

or any other agreement relating to such Secured Obligation, all dividends and other distributions on the Equity Collateral shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent and retained by it in the Collateral Account as part of the Equity Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and, if the Administrative Agent shall so request in writing, each Securing Party agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent appropriate additional dividend, distribution and other orders and documents to that end, provided that if such Event of Default is cured, any such dividend or distribution theretofore paid to the Administrative Agent shall, upon request of the Securing Parties (except to the extent theretofore applied to the Secured Obligations), be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Securing Parties.

5.05 Events of Default, Etc. During the period during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) each Securing Party shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, assemble the Collateral owned by it at such place or places, reasonably convenient to both the Administrative Agent and such Securing Party, designated in its request;

(b) the Administrative Agent may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral;

(c) the Administrative Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not said Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Administrative Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Securing Party agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);

(d) the Administrative Agent in its discretion may, in its name or in the name of the Securing Parties or otherwise, demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so; and

(e) the Administrative Agent may, upon ten business days’ prior written notice to the Securing Parties of the time and place, with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof that shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective agents, sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such place or places as the Administrative Agent deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place

Pledge Agreement

-8-

thereof (except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Administrative Agent or any Lender or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Securing Parties, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.

The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 5.05 shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.09 hereof.

The Securing Parties recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Securing Parties acknowledge that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the respective issuer thereof to register it for public sale.

5.06 Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Securing Parties shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency.

5.07 Removals, Etc. Without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, no Securing Party shall (i) maintain any of its books and records with respect to the Collateral at any office or maintain its principal place of business at any place, other than at the address indicated beneath the signature of such Securing Party to the Credit Agreement or at one of the locations identified in Annex 2 hereto (including as supplemented pursuant to any Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement) or in transit from one of such locations to another, (ii) change its name, or the name under which it does business, from the name shown on the signature pages hereto (or, as the case may be, on the respective Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement pursuant to which such Securing Party became a party hereto) or (iii) change its jurisdiction of organization.

5.08 Private Sale. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to

Pledge Agreement

-9-

Section 5.05 hereof conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Securing Party hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

5.09 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Administrative Agent under Section 4 hereof or this Section 5; shall be applied by the Administrative Agent:

First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred and advances made by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith;

Next, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing or as the Lenders holding the same may otherwise agree; and

Finally, after payment in full of the Secured Obligations, to the payment to the respective Securing Parties, or their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proceeds of any cash or other amounts held in the “Letter of Credit Liabilities Sub-Account” of the Collateral Account pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof shall be applied first to the Letter of Credit Liabilities outstanding from time to time and second to the other Secured Obligations in the manner provided above in this Section 5.09.

As used in this Section 5, “proceeds” of Collateral shall mean cash, securities and other property realized in respect of, and distributions in kind of, Collateral, including any thereof received under any reorganization, liquidation or adjustment of debt of the Securing Parties or any issuer of or obligor on any of the Collateral.

5.10 Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Administrative Agent while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default the Administrative Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of each Securing Party for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 5 and taking any action and executing any instruments that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Administrative Agent shall be entitled under this Section 5 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Securing Party representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

Pledge Agreement

5.11 Perfection.

5.12 Termination. When all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and all Letter of Credit Liabilities shall have expired or been terminated, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, including without limitation, the balance (including any Investments) in the Collateral Account, to or on the order of the respective Securing Parties. The Administrative Agent shall also execute and deliver to the respective Securing Parties upon such termination such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Securing Parties to effect the termination and release of the Liens on the Collateral.

5.13 Further Assurances. The Securing Parties jointly and severally agree that, from time to time upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, they will execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 6. Miscellaneous.

6.01 No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of , , 20 by [NAME OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR], a corporation (the “Subsidiary Guarantor”) in favor of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent for the banks or other financial institutions or entities party, as lenders, to the Credit Agreement referred to below (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

Mediacom Illinois LLC, Mediacom Indiana LLC, Mediacom Iowa LLC, Mediacom Minnesota LLC, Mediacom Wisconsin LLC, Xxxxxxx Communications Corp., Mediacom Arizona LLC, Mediacom California LLC, Mediacom Delaware LLC, and Mediacom Southeast LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”), certain lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 5, 2014 (as modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), providing, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for extensions of credit (by the making of loans and the issuance of letters of credit) to be made by said lenders to the Borrowers in an aggregate principal or face amount not exceeding $921,000,000 (which may be increased as contemplated by Section 2.01(e) thereof, subject to the terms and conditions specified therein). In addition, the Borrowers may from time to time be obligated to various of said lenders or their affiliates in respect of Interest Rate Protection Agreements permitted under Section 8.08(e) of the Credit Agreement (such indebtedness being herein referred to as the “Hedging Indebtedness”).

To induce said lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to extend credit thereunder and to extend credit to the Borrowers that would constitute Hedging Indebtedness, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Subsidiary Guarantor has agreed to guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined) and to become a Securing Party under the Pledge Agreement (as so defined) and to pledge and grant a security interest in the Collateral (as so defined) as security for the Secured Obligations (as so defined). Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein. In addition, the terms “Collateral” and “Securing Party” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Pledge Agreement.

Section 2. The Guarantee.

2.01 The Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby guarantees to each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers, all Reimbursement Obligations and interest thereon and all other amounts from time to time owing to the Lenders (or, in

Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement

respect of any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, any affiliate of a Lender) or the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement, and all Hedging Indebtedness of the Borrowers, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby further agrees that if the Borrowers shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Subsidiary Guarantor will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

For purposes hereof, it is understood that any Guaranteed Obligations to a Person arising under an agreement entered into at the time such Person (or an affiliate thereof) is a “Lender” party to the Credit Agreement shall nevertheless continue to constitute Guaranteed Obligations for purposes hereof, notwithstanding that such Person (or its affiliate) may have assigned all of its Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other interests in the Credit Agreement and, therefore, at the time a claim is to be made in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations, such Person (or its affiliate) is no longer a “Lender” party to the Credit Agreement.

2.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 2.01 hereof are absolute and unconditional irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 2.02 that the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Subsidiary Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of the Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under the Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or

(iv) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement

-2-

The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

2.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 2 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

2.04 Subrogation. The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives all rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including, without limitation, any such right arising under the Federal Bankruptcy Code) or otherwise by reason of any payment by it pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2 and further agrees with the Borrowers for the benefit of each of its creditors (including, without limitation, each Lender and the Administrative Agent) that any such payment by it shall constitute a contribution of capital by the Subsidiary Guarantor to the Borrowers (or an investment in the equity capital of the Borrowers by the Subsidiary Guarantor).

2.05 Remedies. The Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantor and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9 of the Credit Agreement (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9) for purposes of Section 2.01 hereof notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrowers and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrowers) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantor for purposes of said Section 2.01.

Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement

-3-

2.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 2 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or the Administrative Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by the Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

2.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 2 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

2.08 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 2.01 hereof would otherwise be Held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under said Section 2.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

2.09 Obligations Joint and Several. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be joint and several with the obligations of each other Securing Party under each other Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement or under the Credit Agreement, as the case may be.

Section 3. Grant of Security. The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees to become a “Securing Party” under and for all purposes of the Pledge Agreement and hereby undertakes all of the obligations of a Securing Party thereunder as if it had been an original signatory thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, the Subsidiary Guarantor hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders as provided in the Pledge Agreement, a security interest in all of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s right, title and interest in all Collateral, whether now owned by the Subsidiary Guarantor or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence, and wherever located. In addition, (x) the Subsidiary Guarantor hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of the Pledge Agreement and (y) Annex 1 to the Pledge Agreement shall be deemed to be supplemented in respect of the Subsidiary Guarantor as specified in Appendix A hereto.

Section 4. Representations and Warranties. The Subsidiary Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that:

4.01 Corporate Existence. The Subsidiary Guarantor: (a) is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (b) has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted; and (c) is qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where failure so to qualify would (either individually or in the aggregate) have a Material Adverse Effect.

(xii) JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a New York banking corporation, as administrative agent for the lenders or other financial institutions or entities party, as lenders, to the Credit Agreement referred to below (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

The Borrowers, certain lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 5, 2014 (as modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), providing, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for extensions of credit (by the making of loans and the issuance of letters of credit) to be made by said lenders to the Borrowers in an aggregate principal or face amount not exceeding $921,000,000 (which may be increased as contemplated by Section 2.01(e) thereof, subject to the terms and conditions specified therein). In addition, the Borrowers may from time to time be obligated to various of said lenders in respect of Interest Rate Protection Agreements permitted under Section 8.08(e) of the Credit Agreement (such indebtedness being herein referred to as the “Hedging Indebtedness”).

To induce said lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to extend credit thereunder and to extend credit to the Borrowers that would constitute Hedging Indebtedness, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Manager Entity has agreed to subordinate the Subordinated Debt (as hereinafter defined) to the Senior Debt (as so defined) all in the manner and to the extent hereinafter provided. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein. In addition, as used herein:

“Obligor Entity” shall mean, collectively, the Borrowers and, effective upon execution and delivery of any Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, any Subsidiary of a Borrower so executing and delivering such Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement.

“Senior Debt” shall mean, collectively, the following indebtedness and obligations:

(a) all indebtedness or other obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all interest, expenses, indemnities and penalties and all commitment and agency fees payable from time to time under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) all Hedging Indebtedness;

Management Fee Subordination Agreement

-2-

(c) all obligations of any Subsidiary of any Borrower in respect of any Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement executed and delivered by such Subsidiary; and

(d) any deferrals, renewals, extensions or refinancings of any of the foregoing.

The term “Senior Debt” shall include any interest, and any expenses of the type described in Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement (or comparable provisions of any other Loan Document), accruing or arising after the date of any filing by any Obligor Entity of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencing of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings with respect to any Obligor Entity, whether or not such interest or expenses are allowable as a claim in any such proceeding. For purposes hereof, it is understood any obligations to a Person arising under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement permitted by Section 8.08(e) of the Credit Agreement entered into at the time such Person (or an affiliate thereof) is a “Lender” party to the Credit Agreement shall nevertheless continue to constitute Senior Debt for purposes hereof, notwithstanding that such Person (or its affiliate) may have assigned all of its Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other interests in the Credit Agreement and, therefore, at the time a claim is to be made in respect of such Senior Debt, such Person (or its affiliate) is no longer a “Lender” party to the Credit Agreement.

“Subordinated Debt” shall mean all obligations of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries with respect to any Management Fee payable by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries to the Manager Entity.

Section 2. Subordination.

2.01 Subordination of Subordinated Debt. The Manager Entity, on its own behalf and on behalf of each subsequent holder of Subordinated Debt, hereby covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Agreement, the Subordinated Debt, and the payment from whatever source of the Subordinated Debt, are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt and in that connection hereby agrees that, except and to the extent permitted under Section 2.03 hereof, (a) no payment on account of the Subordinated Debt or any judgment with respect thereto shall be made by or on behalf of the Obligor Entities and (b) the Manager Entity shall not (i) ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive from the Obligor Entities, by set-off or in any other manner payment on account of the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) seek any other remedy allowed at law or in equity against the Obligor Entities for breach of any Obligor Entity’s obligations under the instruments representing such Subordinated Debt.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.01, the Manager Entity shall have received any payment not permitted by the provisions of Section 2.03 hereof, including, without limitation, any such payment arising out of the exercise by the Manager Entity of a right of set-off or counterclaim and any such payment received by reason of other indebtedness of any Obligor Entity being subordinated to the Subordinated Debt, then, and in any such event, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over or delivered to, the Administrative Agent, to be paid to the Lenders, ratably

Management Fee Subordination Agreement

-3-

according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the Senior Debt held or represented by each Lender, for application to such Senior Debt remaining unpaid, whether or not then due and payable.

2.02 Payment of Proceeds Upon Dissolution. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 2.01 hereof, in the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to any Obligor Entity or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any Obligor Entity, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of assets and liabilities of any Obligor Entity, then and in any such event:

(1) the Lenders shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Debt, or provision shall be made for such payment, before the Manager Entity shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of the Subordinated Debt;

(2) any payment or distribution of assets of any Obligor Entity of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, by set-off or otherwise, to which the Manager Entity would be entitled but for the provisions of this Agreement, including any such payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of any Obligor Entity being subordinated to the payment of the Subordinated Debt, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the Administrative Agent, to be paid to the Lenders, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the Senior Debt held or represented by each Lender, to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the Lenders;

In the event that one or more Lenders (which term, as used in this paragraph (e) shall include such additional financial institutions) offer, in their sole discretion, to enter into such commitments, and such Lenders, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the Issuing Lenders) agree pursuant to an instrument in writing (the form and substance of which shall be satisfactory, and a copy of which shall be delivered, to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders making such Loans and, if applicable, the Issuing Lenders; any such instrument for any Series of Incremental Loans being herein called an “Incremental Facility Agreement” for such Series) as to the amount of such commitments that shall be allocated to the respective Lenders making such offers, the fees (if any) to be payable by the Borrowers in connection therewith and the amortization and interest rate to be applicable thereto, such Lenders shall become obligated to make Incremental Facility Loans, and (if applicable) to participate in Incremental Facility Letters of Credit, under this Agreement in an amount equal to the amount of their respective Incremental Facility Commitments. Unless specified to be an increase in any existing Class of Commitments or Term Loans, the Incremental Facility Loans to be made, and (if applicable) Incremental Facility Letters of Credit to be issued, pursuant to any Incremental Facility Agreement in response to any such request by the Borrowers shall be deemed to be a separate “Series” of Incremental Facility Loans, or (if applicable) Incremental Facility Letters of Credit, for all purposes of this Agreement.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the following additional provisions shall be applicable to Incremental Facility Commitments and Incremental Facility Loans:

(i) the minimum aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facility Commitments entered into pursuant to any such request shall be $10,000,000,

Each Revolving Credit Lender and each Incremental Facility Revolving Credit Lender (other than the relevant Issuing Lender) agrees that, upon the issuance of any Revolving Credit Letter of Credit or Incremental Facility Letter of Credit hereunder, as applicable, it shall automatically acquire a participation in such Issuing Lender’s liability under such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Letter of Credit Commitment Percentage of such liability, and each such Lender (other than the relevant Issuing Lender) thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to such Issuing Lender to pay and discharge when due, its Letter of Credit Commitment Percentage of such Issuing Lender’s liability under such Letter of Credit.

In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender in an amount equal to 1/4 of 1% per annum of the daily average undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (i) in the case of a Letter of Credit that expires in accordance with its terms, to and including such expiration date and (ii) in the case of a Letter of Credit that is drawn in full or is otherwise terminated other than on the stated expiration date of such Letter of Credit, to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full or is terminated (such fee to be non-refundable, to be paid in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date or, as applicable, the commitment termination date for the Incremental Facility Revolving Credit Commitments of the relevant Series, and to be calculated for any day after giving effect to any payments made under such Letter of Credit on such day) plus all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged by such Issuing Lender from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit and drawings and other transactions relating thereto.

The Borrowers hereby indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Administrative Agent from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses that such Lender or the Administrative Agent may incur (or that may be claimed against such Lender or the Administrative Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or refusal to pay by any Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify any Lender or the Administrative Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Issuing Lender in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (y) in the case of any Issuing Lender, such Lender’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

(a) if any Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Liabilities of the applicable Class are outstanding, then all or any part of the participation of such Defaulting Lender in such Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Liabilities shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders with Commitments of the applicable Class, in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class, but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Loans of the applicable Class, and participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities of the applicable Class plus such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Class does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments, and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 would be satisfied at such time (determined as if such reallocation constituted the issuance of a new Letter of Credit at such time).

(h) if the reallocation described in clause (a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent provide cash cover for such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Commitment Percentage of the Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Liabilities of the applicable Class (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.10(f) of this Agreement for so long as such Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Liabilities are outstanding.

2.12 Extended Term Loans. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (an “Existing Class”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment or payments of principal (including at final maturity) with respect to such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.12. In order to establish Extended Term Loans, the Borrowers shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Class) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall be identical in all material respects to the Term Loans under the Existing Class from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted except that (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal and payment at

The Borrowers shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders are requested to respond. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender (an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of the applicable Existing Class subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans of the applicable Existing Class which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements reasonably imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans of the applicable Existing Class subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans of the applicable Existing Class subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans of the applicable Existing Class included in each such Extension Election. If Extended Term Loans are established, remaining amortization payments on the Existing Class of Term Loans shall be correspondingly reduced. The final terms of the Extended Term Loans (which shall be consistent with the Extension Request) and the allocations of the Extended Term Loans among the Extending Term Lenders shall be as set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment entered into by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Term Lenders. The Extended Term Loans established pursuant to a single Extension Amendment shall, unless specified to be an increase in a previously established Class of Term Loans constitute a separate Class (an “Extension Series”) of Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.09, the Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to offer to prepay Term Loans of any Class to the Lenders at a prepayment price which is less than the principal amount of such Term Loans and on a non pro rata basis (each, an “Offered Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to procedures satisfactory to the Administrative Agent so long as (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such Offered Voluntary Prepayment, (B) after giving effect to such Offered Voluntary Prepayment, the sum of the unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Borrowers on a consolidated basis and the unfunded Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Facility Revolving Credit Commitments would not be less than $100,000,000 and (C) after giving effect to such Offered Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrowers would be in pro forma compliance with Section 8.10 as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered. Any Offered Voluntary Prepayment shall be offered to all Lenders with Term Loans of the Class selected by the Borrower on a pro rata basis and the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate stating that (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such Offered Voluntary Prepayment, (2) each of the conditions to such Offered Voluntary Prepayment contained in this Section 2.13 has been satisfied, (3) any Term Loans acquired by the Borrowers will be cancelled immediately and automatically, (4) the Borrowers have no Material Information with respect to the Borrowers, their Affiliates or the Loans that has not been provided to the Administrative Agent for disclosure to the Lenders (other than Public Lenders) and (5) the Borrowers were not directed to make the prepayment offer by any Affiliate which, to the knowledge of the Borrowers following due inquiry, had any such undisclosed Material Information.

ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by the Lenders (or, if no Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that the Borrowers are obligated to pay under Section 11.03, but excluding, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

10.08 Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving five days prior notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, in consultation with the Borrowers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, that shall be a bank that has an office in New York, New York with a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent

shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

Section 11. Miscellaneous.

(a) no modification, supplement or waiver shall:

(iv) change Section 4.02 or 4.07 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without in each case the written consent of each Lender;

(vii) waive any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 applicable to the initial extension of credit hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; and

(b) any modification or supplement of Section 10, or of any of the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent.

11.05 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.06 Assignments and Participations.

(b) Assignments by Lenders.

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

(D) the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

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 Section 5 and the rights referred to in Section 11.07). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.06 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) below.

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Lenders or any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lenders, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans and Letter of Credit Interests held by it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 11.04 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) below, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, 5.05, 5.06 and 5.07 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) above. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.07(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.07(b) as though it were a Lender hereunder. If a Lender (or any of its registered assigns) sells a participation pursuant to this Section 11.06(e), the Lender (or its registered assign, as the case may be), acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of

each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest under this Agreement or any Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that such Lender (or its registered assign, as the case may be) shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender (or the registered assign, as the case may be) shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary

11.07 Survival. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 5.01, 5.05, 5.06, 5.07 and 11.03, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 10.05, shall survive the repayment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and the termination of the Commitments and, in the case of any Lender that may assign any interest in its Commitments, Loans or Letter of Credit Interest hereunder, shall survive the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that such assigning Lender may cease to be a “Lender” hereunder. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a notice of any extension of credit (whether by means of a Loan or a Letter of Credit), herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and no Lender shall be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any extension of credit hereunder (whether by means of a Loan or a Letter of Credit), any Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that such Lender or the Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such extension of credit was made.

11.12 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

(b) Confidentiality Generally. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives) to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with their customary procedures for handling confidential information of the same nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices (or, if such Lender is not a bank, in accordance with safe and sound lending practices), any non-public information supplied to it by any Obligor pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is identified by the Borrowers as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information (i) after such information shall have become public (other than through a violation of this Section 11.12), (ii) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process, (iii) to counsel for any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, (iv) to bank examiners (or any other regulatory authority, or quasi-regulatory body,

including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), having jurisdiction over any Lender or the Administrative Agent), or to auditors or accountants, (v) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender (or to any Agent), (vi) in connection with any litigation to which any one or more of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent is a party, or in connection with the enforcement of rights or remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (vii) to a subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender as provided in paragraph (a) above, (viii) to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations or (ix) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) first executes and delivers to the respective Lender a Confidentiality Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I (or executes and delivers to such Lender an acknowledgement to the effect that it is bound by the provisions of this Section 11.12(b), which acknowledgement may be included as part of the respective assignment or participation agreement pursuant to which such assignee or participant acquires an interest in the Loans or Letter of Credit Interest hereunder); provided, further, that obligations of any assignee that has executed a Confidentiality Agreement in the form of Exhibit I shall be superseded by this Section 11.12 upon the date upon which such assignee becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 11.06(b).

between the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand, (ii) in connection with each such transaction and the process leading thereto, the Agents and the Lenders will act solely as principals and not as agents or fiduciaries of the Obligors or any of their stockholders, affiliates, creditors, employees or any other party, (iii) neither the Agents nor any Lender will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Agent or any Lender has advised or is currently advising any Obligor on other matters) and neither any Agent nor any Lender will have any obligation to any Obligor or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement except the obligations expressly set forth herein, (iv) the Agents and each Lender may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Obligors and their Affiliates, and (v) neither any Agent nor any Lender has provided or will provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Obligors have consulted and will consult their own legal, accounting, regulatory, and tax advisors to the extent it deems appropriate. The matters set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents reflect an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand. The Borrowers agree that the Obligors shall not assert any claims that any Obligor may have against any Agent or any Lender based on any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty.

Section 2. Subordination.

2.01 Subordination of Subordinated Debt. The Borrowers, for themselves and their respective successors and assigns, covenant and agree, and the Subordinated Lender, on its own behalf and on behalf of each subsequent holder of Subordinated Debt, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Agreement, the Subordinated Debt and the payment from whatever source of the principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the Subordinated Debt, are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt and in that connection hereby agree that, except and to the extent permitted under Section 2.03 hereof, (a) no payment on account of the Subordinated Debt or any judgment with respect thereto shall be made by or on behalf of any Obligor Entity and (b) the Subordinated Lender shall not (i) ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive from any Obligor Entity, by set-off or in any other manner payment on account of the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) seek any other remedy allowed at law or in equity against any Obligor Entity for breach of any Obligor Entity’s obligations under the instruments representing such Subordinated Debt.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.01, the Subordinated Lender shall have received any payment not permitted by the provisions of Section 2.03 hereof, including, without limitation, any such payment arising out of the exercise by the Subordinated Lender of a right of set-off or counterclaim and any such payment received

Affiliate Subordinated Indebtedness Subordination Agreement

-3-

by reason of other indebtedness of any Obligor Entity being subordinated to the Subordinated Debt, then, and in any such event, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over or delivered to, the Administrative Agent, to be paid to the Lenders, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the Senior Debt held or represented by each Lender, for application to such Senior Debt remaining unpaid, whether or not then due and payable.

2.02 Payment of Proceeds Upon Dissolution. In the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to any Obligor Entity or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any Obligor Entity, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors of any other marshalling of assets and liabilities of any Obligor Entity, then and in any such event:

(1) the Lenders shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Debt, or provision shall be made for such payment, before the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of principal of, or interest or premium (if any) on, the Subordinated Debt;

(2) any payment or distribution of assets of any Obligor Entity of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, by set-off or otherwise, to which the Subordinated Lender would be entitled but for the provisions of this Agreement, including any such payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of any Obligor Entity being subordinated to the payment of the Subordinated Debt, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the Administrative Agent, to be paid to the Lenders, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the Senior Debt held or represented by each Lender, to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the Lenders;

(3) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02, the Subordinated Lender shall have received, before all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash or payment thereof provided for, any such payment or distribution of assets of any Obligor Entity of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution arising out of the exercise by the Subordinated Lender of a right of set-off or counterclaim and any such payment or distribution received by reason of any other indebtedness of any Obligor Entity being subordinated to the Subordinated Debt, then, and in such event, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over or delivered to, the Administrative Agent, to be paid to the Lenders, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining

Affiliate Subordinated Indebtedness Subordination Agreement

unpaid on account of the principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the Senior Debt held or represented by each Lender, to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the Lenders; and

(4) if the Subordinated Lender shall have failed to file claims or proofs of claim with respect to the Subordinated Debt earlier than 30 days prior to the deadline for any such filing, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to vote and file proofs of claim and otherwise to act with respect to the Subordinated Debt as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate in its reasonable discretion.

2.03 Certain Payments Permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive and retain any payment in respect of Affiliate Subordinated Indebtedness either (i) permitted under Sections 8.09(c) or (d) of the Credit Agreement or (ii) made after all Senior Debt shall have been paid in full and the Commitments of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement shall have expired or been terminated.

2.04 Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt, the Subordinated Lender shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Obligor Entities that by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Debt of the Obligor Entities to the same extent as the Subordinated Debt is subordinated and that is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the Lenders to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the Subordinated Debt shall be paid in full in cash. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the Lenders of any cash, property or securities to which the Subordinated Lender would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 2, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2 to the Lenders by the Subordinated Lender, shall, as between the Subordinated Lender, its creditors other than the Lenders, and the Subordinated Lender, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Subordinated Lender to or on account of the Senior Debt.

2.05 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Section 2 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Subordinated Lender on the one hand and the Lenders on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Section 2 or elsewhere in this Agreement is intended to or shall:

(a) impair, as among the Obligor Entities, their creditors other than the Lenders and the Subordinated Lender, the obligation of the Obligor Entities to pay to the Subordinated Lender the principal and of and interest on the Subordinated Debt as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms; or

(b) affect the relative rights against the Obligor Entities of the Subordinated Lender and creditors of the Obligor Entities other than the Lenders.

2.06 No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. No right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Obligor Entities or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or by any non-compliance by any Obligor Entity with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, regardless of any knowledge thereof the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have or be otherwise charged with.
