(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, when calculating the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the purposes of testing availability under any basket provided for in this Agreement or determining other compliance with this Agreement (including the determination of compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom or requiring the accuracy of representations and warranties) in connection with a Specified Transaction undertaken in connection with the consummation of a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of determination of such ratio and determination of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom or other applicable covenant or accuracy of representations and warranties shall, at the option of the Borrowers (the Borrowers’ election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”) and if, after such ratios and other

provisions are measured or determined on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other Specified Transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the four consecutive fiscal quarter period being used to calculate such financial ratio ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrowers could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratios and provisions, such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with on such date; provided that in all cases no Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.01(a) or (f) shall exist at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related Specified Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, if any of such ratios or baskets are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrowers or the target of any Limited Condition Acquisition (other than as a result of any incurrence, disposition or Restricted Payment)) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such ratios, baskets and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder. If the Borrowers have made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ratio contained in Section 7.11) or basket availability with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be (x) calculated (and tested) on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated and (y) with respect to any Restricted Payment permitted by Section 7.06, also calculated (and tested) on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have not been consummated; provided, that (other than solely with respect to the incurrence test under which such Limited Condition Acquisition is being made and the test set forth in the immediately preceding clause (x)) Consolidated EBITDA, assets and Consolidated Net Income of any target of such Limited Condition Acquisition can only be used in the determination of the relevant ratio and baskets if and when such Limited Condition Acquisition has closed.

Unless stated otherwise, all calculations, comparisons, measurements or determinations under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars. Unless specifically determined under this Agreement by reference to conversion using the Equivalent Amount, which shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determinations shall be conclusive absent manifest error, all amounts denominated in an Alternative Currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the Borrowers’ financial statements and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Swap Contracts permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar equivalent of such Indebtedness.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, 7.05, 7.06, 7.08, 7.09, 7.11, 7.12 and 7.14 with respect to any amount of Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Disposition, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, Capital Expenditure, Contractual Obligation or prepayment of Indebtedness in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the

time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred (so long as such Indebtedness or Investment, at the time incurred, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder) or other transaction consummated and once incurred or made, the amount of such Indebtedness, Lien, Disposition, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, Capital Expenditure, Contractual Obligation, prepayment of Indebtedness or Investment, shall be always deemed to be at the Dollar amount on such date of incurrence, regardless of later changes in currency exchange rates.

(c) If at any time following one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of an Alternative Currency against the Dollar, (a) the Equivalent Amount of Dollars of the Total Outstandings exceeds the Line Cap by 105%, or (b) the Equivalent Amount of Dollars of any part of the Outstanding Amount exceeds any other limit by 105% of the applicable threshold set forth herein for such the Outstanding Amount, the Borrowers shall within three (3) Business Days of written notice of same from the Administrative Agent or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, within one (1) Business Day after written notice of the same from the Administrative Agent (i) make the necessary payments or repayments to reduce the Total Outstandings to an amount necessary to eliminate such excess or (ii) maintain or cause to be maintained with the Administrative Agent deposits in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such excess, such deposits to be maintained in such form and upon such terms as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent shall, weekly (on the last Business Day of such week), make the necessary calculations of Equivalent Amounts to determine whether any such excess exists on such date.

(d) The Borrowers may from time to time request that Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer. Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers not later than 12:00 p.m., five (5) Business Days prior to the date of the desired L/C Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer in their sole discretion). In the case of any such request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Issuer thereof. Each L/C Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 12:00 p.m., two (2) Business Days (or such other period of time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency. Any failure by any L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such L/C Issuer to permit Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and an L/C Issuer consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrowers and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any L/C Credit Extension by such L/C Issuer.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day until the Maturity Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided however, that after giving effect to any Revolving Credit Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Line Cap, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of (w) all L/C Obligations, (x) all Swing Line Loans, (y) all Protective Advances and (z) all Overadvance Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. No Lender shall be obligated to make (subject to the Administrative Agent’s authority to make Protective Advances and Overadvance Loans pursuant to Sections 2.02(g) and (h), respectively) any Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrowers to the extent that the making of such Revolving Credit Loans would cause the Total Outstandings to exceed the Line Cap. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each conversion of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrowers’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:30 p.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion of Base Rate Loans to, or continuation of, Eurodollar Rate Loans, or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) one (1) Business Day before the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided however, that if the Borrowers wish to request Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:30 p.m. four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Appropriate Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 12:30 p.m. three (3) Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Appropriate Lenders. Each telephonic notice by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers, in each case certifying any factual matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request with respect to the Borrowers’ due authorization of the proposed Borrowing, the Loan Parties’ Unrestricted Cash at such time and Total Outstandings at such time, and attaching, as applicable, any documentation or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Borrowers’ authorization of such proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of, or conversion to, Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrowers are requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a conversion of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrowers fail to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrowers fail to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such

automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrowers request a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fail to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Revolving Credit Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (except if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrowers on the books of JPMCB with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers; provided however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrowers, there are Protective Advances, Swing Line Loans or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such Protective Advance, second, L/C Borrowings, third, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and fourth, to the Borrowers as provided above.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless the Borrowers pay the amount due under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of any change in JPMCB’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(g) The Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to make any Loan or to provide any Letter of Credit if an Overadvance would result. Unless its authority is revoked in writing by the Required Lenders (which revocation shall be in writing and become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof), the Administrative Agent may, in its Permitted Discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders, which Revolving Credit Loans, when added to the then current Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans, would cause the Total Outstandings to exceed the Line Cap (an “Overadvance”), without the consent of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer, and the Borrowers and each Lender shall be bound thereby, so long as, (a) no Event of Default other than an Event of Default created by the existence of an Overadvance is known to the Administrative Agent, provided that (i) no Overadvance may continue for more than forty-five (45) consecutive days and no additional Overadvance Loans may be required for at least five (5) consecutive days following the termination of the preceding Overadvance and (ii) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Overadvances and Protective Advances at any time is not known by the Administrative Agent to exceed ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base then in effect; and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if the Administrative Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance (x) is not increased by more than $10,000,000 (provided that the aggregate amount of all Overadvances and Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base then in effect), and (y) does not continue for more than forty-five (45) consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans that would cause the Total Outstandings to exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments be required. Any Overadvance is for the account of the Borrowers and shall constitute a Base Rate Loan and an Obligation and shall be repaid by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.05(b). Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. The making of any such Overadvance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make or permit any Overadvance on any other occasion or to permit such Overadvance Loans to remain outstanding. The making by the Administrative Agent of an Overadvance Loan shall not modify or abrogate any of the provisions of Section 2.03 regarding the Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with respect to Letters of Credit or of Section 2.04 regarding the Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with respect to Swing Line Loans. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability for, and no Loan Party or Lender or L/C Issuer shall have the right to, or shall, bring any claim of any kind whatsoever against the Administrative Agent with respect to Overadvances not known by the Administrative Agent to constitute Overadvances when made, regardless of the amount of any such Overadvance(s). In no event shall any Borrower or other Loan Party be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

(h) The Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, in its discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), at any time that a Default or Event of Default exists or any conditions in Article IV are not satisfied, to make Revolving Credit Loans which are Base Rate Loans (“Protective Advances”) (a) so long as the aggregate amount of Overadvances and Protective Advances outstanding at any time does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base then in effect, if the Administrative Agent deems such Loans necessary or desirable to preserve or protect any Collateral, or to enhance the collectability or repayment of the Obligations or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to the Loan Parties under any Loan Documents, including costs, fees and expenses. In no event shall Protective Advances be made that would cause the Total Outstandings to exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. All Protective Advances shall be Obligations, secured by the Collateral. At any time that there is sufficient Excess Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the Revolving Credit Lenders to make a Revolving Credit Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require each Lender to fund their risk participations in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make further Protective Advances by written notice to the Administrative Agent which shall be effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. Absent such revocation, the Administrative Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive.

2.03 Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the date one week prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of any Loan Party as the applicant thereof for the support of its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares issued for the account of a Loan Party; provided, that no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (x) the Total Outstandings would exceed the Line Cap, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of (I) all L/C Obligations, (II) all Swing Line Loans, (III) all Protective Advances and (IV) all Overadvance Loans would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, or (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Loan Parties’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Loan Parties may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit if, immediately after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer would exceed such L/C Issuer’s L/C Issuer Sublimit. Without limiting the foregoing and without affecting the limitations contained herein, it is understood and agreed that the Loan Parties may from time to time request that an L/C Issuer make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit in excess of its individual L/C Issuer Sublimit in effect at the time of such request, and each L/C Issuer agrees to consider any such request in good faith. Any Letter of Credit so issued by an L/C Issuer in excess of its individual L/C Issuer Sublimit then in effect shall nonetheless constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement, and shall not affect the L/C Issuer Sublimit of any other L/C Issuer, subject to the limitations on the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations set forth in clause (z) above of this Section 2.03(a)(i). The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, reduce the L/C Issuer Sublimit of any L/C Issuer with the consent of such L/C Issuer; provided that the Borrowers shall not reduce the L/C Issuer Sublimit of any L/C Issuer if, after giving effect to such reduction, the conditions set forth in clauses (x) through (z) above shall not be satisfied.

(ii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

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

(B) the proceeds of such Letter of Credit would be made available to any Person (A) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions or (B) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement;

(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur (x) more than twelve (12) months after the issuance or last extension (unless the Required Lenders and the applicable L/C Issuer have approved such expiry date) or (y) after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, and the L/C Issuer shall not issue such Letter of Credit unless (I) all Lenders have approved such expiry date or (II) the Borrowers have provided Cash Collateral in an amount equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit; provided that the Lenders’ obligation to participate in any such Letter of Credit so Cash Collateralized pursuant to this clause (C)(II) and that would expire after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date shall terminate on such date;

(D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to borrowers generally;

(E) unless the L/C Issuer otherwise agrees, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $50,000, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $50,000, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit, or such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; provided that, if such L/C Issuer, in its discretion, issues a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, all reimbursements by the Borrowers of the honoring of any drawing under such Letter of Credit shall be paid in the currency in which such Letter of Credit was denominated (subject also to the conversion provisions of Section 1.08) or the Equivalent Amount of Dollars of such drawing as agreed upon with the applicable L/C Issuer;

(F) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the Stated Amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(G) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral in an amount equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the Fronting Exposure, reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer, with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(iii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(iv) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article X included each L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to each L/C Issuer.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrowers delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify (and attach, as applicable) in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the aggregate amount of Unrestricted Cash held by the Loan Parties as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date of such Letter of Credit Application, (H) any documentation and/or certification reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer, evidencing the due authorization by the relevant corporate (or other organizational) authorities of the applicable Loan Parties of such proposed issuance and (I) such other information and documents as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other information and documents as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably request.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer (other than JPMCB) will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrowers and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by such L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Loan Party or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit (or an amendment

increasing the amount thereof), each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each L/C Issuer (other than JPMCB) shall, no later than the third Business Day following the last day of each month, provide to the Administrative Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by Borrowers to such L/C Issuer during such month.

(iii) If either Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided, that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided however, that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is three (3) Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrowers that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also (A) deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment, and (B) notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such issuance or amendment and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share therein, and upon a specific request by any Revolving Credit Lender, furnish to such Revolving Credit Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent thereof, provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their absolute and unconditional obligation to reimburse such L/C Issuer and the Lenders with respect to

any such payment. If such L/C Issuer notifies the Borrowers of such payment not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrowers shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing; provided, that if such notice is not provided to the Borrowers prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Honor Date, then the Borrowers shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing fees in respect of any such Letter of Credit. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender (including each Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent (or on the following Business Day if such notice is given later than 11:00 a.m. on the date specified in such notice), whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrowers of a Committed Loan Notice ). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and a rate reasonably determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate in reasonable detail of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on

demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, subject to Debtor Relief Laws, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense (other than defense of payment) or other right that the Borrowers may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver, receiver-manager or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrowers in respect of such Letter of Credit;

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense (other than defense of payment) available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers; or

(vii) the fact that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against any L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the applicable L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; (iii) any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit or any error in interpretation of technical terms; or (iv) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or other Issuer Document. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 2.03(e); provided however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against such L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary (or such L/C Issuer may refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit), and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate then in effect for Eurodollar Rate Loans with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility times the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of

Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit) shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.08; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Pro Rata Shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of each April, July, October and January, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to an L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee (i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, at a rate of 0.125% per annum, computed on the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing the stated amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate of 0.125% per annum, computed on the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, and (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at a rate of 0.125% per annum, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable (i) with respect to the fronting fees referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, on the tenth (10^th) Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment) and (ii) with respect to the fronting fees referred to in clauses (iii) above, on the first Business Day of each April, July, October and January, in each case commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.08. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, transfer, amendment and other processing fees and other standard costs and charges of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect and as the Borrowers may agree. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within five (5) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.

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

(k) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of other Loan Parties or in support of any obligations of any Subsidiary inures to the benefit of the Borrowers, and that the Borrowers’ business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Loan Parties or other Subsidiaries.

2.04 Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, shall make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day until the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Line Cap and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans, Protective Advances and Overadvance Loans at such time shall not exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan, provided further that the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan at any time when any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to such Lender. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. The Swing Line Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Swing Line Lender in connection with Swing Line Loans made by it or proposed to be made by it as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article X included the Swing Line Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Swing Line Lender.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrowers’ irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested Borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers, in each case certifying any factual matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request with respect to the Borrowers’ due authorization of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing, the Loan Parties’ Unrestricted Cash at such time and Total Outstandings at such time, and attaching, as applicable, any documentation or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Borrowers’ authorization of such proposed Swing Line Borrowing. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the Borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary there shall be no more than four (4) Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time; provided further, that if, on the date of the proposed Swing Line Loan, there are any Protective Advances or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the

proceeds of such Borrowing first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such Protective Advances, second, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and third, shall be made available to the Borrowers as provided herein. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the Lenders agree that the Swing Line Lender may, in consultation with the Borrowers, agree to modify the borrowing procedures used in connection with the Swing Line Facility in its discretion and without affecting any of the obligations of the Lenders.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorize the Swing Line Lender to so request on their behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrowers with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and a rate reasonably determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s committed Loan included in the relevant

committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A statement in reasonable detail of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary.

(i) The Borrowers may, upon irrevocable (subject to Section 2.05(a)(iii)) notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans under any Facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty (subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.05(a)(i)); provided, that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000or a whole multiple of $500,000in excess thereof; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000or a whole multiple of $100,000in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, the Facility to be prepaid and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Facility). Subject to clause (iii) immediately below, if such notice is given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.17, each prepayment of the outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrowers; and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(ii) Any Borrower may, upon irrevocable (subject to Section 2.05(a)(iii)) notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided, that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) a notice of prepayment of Loans under Section 2.05(a)(i) or (a)(ii) delivered by the Borrowers may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date of termination) if such condition is not satisfied and (B) the Borrowers may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or (a)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(b) Mandatory. If at any time, the Total Outstandings shall exceed the Line Cap, subject to any Overadvance permitted to be outstanding under Section 2.02(g)), the Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Optional. The Borrowers may, upon irrevocable notice (provided such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date of termination) if such condition is not satisfied), terminate the unused Revolving Credit Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit, or from time to time permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit; provided, that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction (which must be a Business Day), (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Line Cap, unless they make a simultaneous payment to reduce the Total Outstandings in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, unless they simultaneously provide Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, or (C) the Swing Line Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit.

(b) Mandatory. If after giving effect to any reduction or termination of any unused Commitment under this Section 2.06, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments under a Facility, the Commitment of each Lender under such Facility shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Facility is reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). All commitment fees, Letter of Credit Fees and interest in respect of the Commitments accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.07 Repayment of Loans.

(a) Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Revolving Credit Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date.

(b) Swing Line Loans. The Borrowers shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date fifteen (15) Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility.

2.08 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, plus (B) the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate, plus (B) the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate, plus (B) the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans.

(b) Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 9.01(a) or (f), and during the continuation thereof, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all overdue payment Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(h) and (i):

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to the Unused Fee Percentage times the actual average daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments exceed the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans (excluding any Swing Line Loans) and (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.17. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times from the date hereof until the Maturity Date, including at any time during which one or more of the applicable conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each April, July, October and January, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears.

(b) Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Borrower Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except for any rebates or refunds agreed in a separate writing).

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) or three hundred and sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a three hundred and sixty-five (365) day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided, that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) Interest Act (Canada). For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), (i) the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent for the Borrowers, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the Register and the corresponding accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the Register and the corresponding accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and record thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.11(a), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense (other than defense of payment), recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender

its Pro Rata Share in respect of the applicable Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice in reasonable detail of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender promptly, without interest.

(d) Obligations of the Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.07 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.07 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.07.

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

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

(g) Unallocated Funds. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

2.13 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata Share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such sub-participations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such

purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s Pro Rata Share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 11.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.16 or to the assignments and participations described in Section 11.07 or to prepayments in connection with Refinancing Amendments described in Section 2.18.

2.14 Increase in Revolving Credit Facility.

(a) Provided that there exists no Event of Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may from time to time, prior to the Latest Maturity Date applicable to any Loan, request one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Facility (any such increase, the “New Revolving Credit Commitments”) by an amount (for all such requests pursuant to this Section 2.14) not exceeding $200,000,000; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 and (y) the entire remaining amount of increases available under this Section 2.14.

(b) Any proposed increase in the Revolving Credit Facility may be requested from existing Lenders, new prospective Lenders who are Eligible Assignees or a combination thereof, as selected by, and with such allocations of committed amounts as may be determined by the Borrowers in consultation with the Administrative Agent. Any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of such increase may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increase.

(c) If the Revolving Credit Facility is increased in accordance with this Section 2.14, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall determine the effective date (the “Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. On the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date (i) each of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall assign to each new Revolving Credit Lender (collectively, the “New Revolving Credit Lenders”), and each of the New Revolving Credit Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Credit Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders and New Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Credit Commitments to the Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) each New Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving Credit Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Credit Loan and (iii) each New Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Credit Commitment and all matters relating thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date. In connection with any

increase in the Revolving Credit Facility, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended in writing (which may be executed and delivered by the Borrowers and Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders) to reflect any technical changes necessary to give effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with its terms as set forth herein.

(d) As a condition precedent to such increase, (i) the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party, certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and certifying that the conditions precedent set out in the following subclauses (ii) through (vii) have been satisfied, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such increase as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date; provided, that in the case of a New Revolving Credit Loan incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investment that qualifies as a Limited Condition Acquisition, (A) no Event of Default (as determined in accordance with Section 1.09(b) shall exist on the LCA Test Date and (B) no Event of Default under Sections 9.01(a) or (f) (as determined in accordance with Section 1.09(b)) on the date of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, (iii) before and after giving effect to such increase, the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) on and as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date (or in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, on the LCA Test Date), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this subclause (iii), the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.05(a) and (b) shall be deemed to refer to the Borrowers and the most recent consolidated financial statements of Parent and its Subsidiaries furnished pursuant to Section 6.01(a), (iv) the terms and provisions of the New Revolving Credit Loans shall consist of the same terms and provisions of the Revolving Credit Loans, including with respect to interest rate applicable thereto (or if not the same as such Loans, such terms and provisions shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), except that the New Revolving Credit Loans may have a longer maturity date and the terms of the New Revolving Credit Loans may differ from the terms of the Revolving Credit Loans after the Maturity Date and (v) the Administrative Agent shall be reasonably satisfied with the documentation in respect of the New Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans, L/C Advances or Swing Line Loans (to the extent participated to Revolving Credit Lenders) outstanding on the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, L/C Advances or Swing Line Loans (to the extent participated to Revolving Credit Lenders), as the case may be, ratable with any revised Pro Rata Share of a Revolving Credit Lender in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility arising from any non-ratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.14.

2.15 Extension of Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a) Extension of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Class (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the Maturity Date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.15. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, 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 Revolver Tranche) (each, a

“Revolver Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) except as to interest rates, fees, optional redemption or prepayment terms, final maturity, and after the final maturity date, any other covenants and provisions (which shall be determined by the Borrowers and the Extending Revolving Credit Lenders and set forth in the relevant Revolver Extension Request), except as consistent with then-prevailing market conditions, the Extended Revolving Credit Commitment extended pursuant to a Revolver Extension Request, and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with such other terms substantially identical to, or taken as a whole, not materially more favorable (as reasonably determined by the Borrowers) to the Extending Revolving Credit Lender, as the original Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) unless the existing Lenders receive the benefit of such favorable terms or for covenants and other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date: (i) the Maturity Date of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to a later date than the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided however, that at no time shall there be Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than five (5) different Maturity Dates; (ii) the All-In Yield, pricing, optional redemption or prepayment terms, with respect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the All-In Yield, pricing, optional redemption or prepayment terms, for extensions of credit under the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; and (iii) all borrowings under the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (i.e., the Existing Revolver Tranche and the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Revolver Extension Series) and mandatory repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (II) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments and (III) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of non-extended Revolving Credit Commitments); provided, further, that (A) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Revolver Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any other Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, (B) any such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and the Liens securing the same) shall be permitted by the terms of any intercreditor arrangements applicable to the Existing Revolver Tranche then in effect and (C) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing. Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolver Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. Each Revolver Extension Series of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments incurred under this Section 2.15 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire principal amount of the Indebtedness being extended pursuant to this Section 2.15).

(b) Extension Request. The Borrowers shall provide the applicable Revolver Extension Request at least five Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Revolver Tranche are requested to respond (or such shorter period as agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders), and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.15. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its

Revolving Credit Commitments amended into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request. Any Lender holding a Loan under any Revolving Credit Commitment (each, an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Revolver Extension Request amended into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Revolver Extension Request of the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche in respect of which applicable Revolving Credit Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Revolver Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments requested to be extended pursuant to the Revolver Extension Request, Revolving Credit Commitments subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Revolving Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error) based on the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments included in each such Extension Election.

(c) Extension Amendment. Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Revolving Credit Lender providing an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.15(a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) customary legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to provide the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments incurred pursuant thereto, and (ii) effect such other reasonable amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.

(d) No conversion or extension of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request in accordance with this Section 2.15 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

2.16 Cash Collateral.

(a) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer (i) if such L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately provide Cash Collateral in an amount equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the

Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover one hundred three percent (103%) of the Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at JPMCB. The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.16(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than one hundred three percent (103%) of the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrowers or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.17 or 9.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 11.07(b)(vi)) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.16 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 9.04), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the relevant L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.17 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to

Section 11.09), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to each L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, each L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Sections 4.01 (in the case of the initial Credit Extensions) or Section 4.02 (in the case of all other Credit Extensions) were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).

(iv) During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Pro Rata Share” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that (A) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation or have been waived in accordance with Section 11.01 and (B) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of that Lender; provided further that if the conditions set forth in

Section 4.02 are later satisfied or waived in accordance with Section 11.01, then the “Pro Rata Share” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender (and any Cash Collateral provided by the Borrowers as a result of an inability to effect a reallocation pursuant to this clause (iv) in respect of any such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be returned to the Borrowers).

(b) If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.18 Refinancing Amendments.

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrowers may obtain, from any then existing Lender or any new Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Loans and Commitments then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this Section 2.18 will be deemed to include any then outstanding Refinancing Loans and Refinancing Commitments), in the form of Refinancing Loans and Refinancing Commitments in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Loans hereunder (and shall be included as “Obligations”) and (ii) otherwise meet the requirements set forth in the definition thereof. Any Refinancing Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment. Each incurrence of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.18 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000. Both before and after giving effect to any such Refinancing Amendment (i) no Event of Default shall then exist and (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) on and as of the effective date of such Refinancing Amendment, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this subclause (ii), the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.05(a) and (b) shall be deemed to refer to the Borrowers and the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 6.01(a). The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the applicable effective date of such Refinancing Amendment (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party, certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such Refinancing Amendment, and certifying that the conditions precedent set out in this subsection (a) have been satisfied.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Refinancing Loans and/or Refinancing Commitments) and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection therewith. Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18. This Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or Section 11.01 to the contrary. In addition, except for purposes of Section 3.04 and/or with respect to any breakage costs arising from the untimely payment of interest rate contracts, Refinancing Amendments shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for any purposes hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to the incurrence of any such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness and any borrowing with respect thereto, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Line Cap.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments by the Loan Parties to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto (collectively, “Impositions”), excluding, (x) in the case of each Agent and each Lender, any Impositions imposed on or measured by its net income (however denominated) (including branch profits) and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, in each case (A) by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized, in which its principal office is located or in which it maintains its applicable Lending Office, or (B) that are Other Connection Taxes, (y) in the case of any Lender, any Impositions that are any United States federal withholding taxes and any penalties and interest with respect thereto (including, without limitation, taxes imposed under Section 881 of the Code subject to withholding pursuant to Section 1442 of the Code, whether or not in any such case withheld from any payment) other than (i) United States federal withholding taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment under this Agreement to such Lender as a result of a U.S. Tax Law Change or (ii) to the extent the Lender’s assignor or Lender was entitled to amounts under this clause (a) in respect of United States federal withholding tax immediately before such Lender became a party to this Agreement or immediately before it changed its Lending Office, respectively, and (z) in the case of each Agent and each Lender, any Impositions that are United States federal withholding taxes and any penalties and interest with respect thereto and that are imposed as a result of FATCA (all such non-excluded Impositions being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). Subject to Section 11.15, if a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Impositions from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document, (i) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall make such deductions, (ii) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, (iii) if such Imposition is a Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making such deductions (including such deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), such recipient

receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment by the applicable Loan Party, such Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) In addition but without duplication, the Loan Parties agree to pay, or at the option of each Agent, timely reimburse such Agent for the payment of, any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges, filing or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document, except any such taxes, charges or levies that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 3.01(g) or Section 3.07) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Loan Parties agree to jointly and severally indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid or payable by, or required to be deducted or withheld from a payment to, such Agent and such Lender, and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such 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 applicable Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by an Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender), shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Payment under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within ten (10) days after the date such Lender or such Agent makes a demand therefor.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Impositions attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.07(k) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Impositions, excluding Taxes or Other Taxes, attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Impositions were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Loan Parties shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender to the extent that such Lender becomes subject to United States withholding Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, after the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of a change in the place of organization of such Lender, a change in the Lending Office of such Lender, or a change in the principal office of such Lender, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required by the Borrowers or to the extent that such Lender was entitled, at the time of the change in place of organization or the change in Lending Office, to receive such additional amounts from the Loan Parties pursuant to Section 3.01(a) and (c) (and provided, that nothing in this clause (e) shall be construed as relieving the Loan Parties from any obligation to make such payments or indemnification in the event of a change that is a U.S. Tax Law Change).

(f) If any Lender or Agent determines in its sole discretion that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to the refund to such Loan Party, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided however, that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agree promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to the relevant taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, be required to pay any amount to the Loan Parties pursuant to this clause (f) the payment of which would place the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the such party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(g) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or (c), or Section 3.04, with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrowers, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Lender’s overall internal policies of general application and legal and regulatory restrictions) to eliminate or reduce to the greatest extent possible any indemnification or additional amounts being due under this Section 3.01, including to designate another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided, that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.01(g) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a), Section 3.01(c) or Section 3.04. A Lender will not be obligated to use such other Lending Office pursuant to this Section 3.01(g) unless the Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of using such other Lending Office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.01(g) submitted by such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(h) For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender.

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the

illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in writing promptly upon becoming aware that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed

Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If any Lender, or, in the case of (iii), any Lender or Agent, determines that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the date hereof, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, (i) results in any increase in the cost or expense or other condition of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit (other than reserve requirements reflected in the Eurodollar Rate), (ii) results in a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing, or (iii) subjects any

Lender or Agent to any Imposition (other than any Taxes indemnified under Section 3.01 or Impositions excluded from the definition of Taxes in Section 3.01(a)(x) through (z)), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender or Agent setting forth such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrowers shall, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, pay to such Lender or Agent such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or Agent for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrowers shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) The Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b) for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender demands, or notifies the Borrowers of its intention to demand, compensation therefor; provided, that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 365-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) of the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be a ‘change in law’ regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued; provided that to the extent any increased costs or reductions are incurred by any Lender as a result of any requests, rules, guidelines or directives enacted or promulgated under the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act after the Closing Date, then such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 3.04 only to the extent such Lender is imposing such charges generally under a majority of other syndicated credit facilities involving similarly situated borrowers that such Lender is a lender under.

3.05 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall, within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor, compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(b) any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers;

including any loss or reasonable out-of-pocket expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a) A certificate of any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III (other than Section 3.01) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Sections 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the event that gives rise to such claim. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrowers under Section 3.04, the Borrowers may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided, that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Sections 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

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

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

(d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Sections 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the

first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

3.07 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

(a) If at any time (i) the Borrowers becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or 3.03, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a “Non-Consenting Lender” (as defined below in this Section 3.07), then the Borrowers may, on prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, either (A) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 11.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrowers in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrowers to find a replacement Lender or other such Person and, in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter or (B) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date.

(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption; provided that, Borrowers will pay any cost incurred under Section 3.05 pursuant to such assignment and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrowers, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. In the event that the Borrowers elect to replace a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.07, and such Lender does not execute an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 11.07 within two (2) Business Days after receipt by such Lender of an Assignment and Assumption evidencing such assignment, the Borrowers and/or the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to execute such Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption so executed by the Borrowers, the applicable replacement Lender and the Administrative Agent, shall be effective for the purposes of this Section 3.07 and Section 11.07. Upon any such assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions of Section 11.07, such replaced Lender shall not longer constitute a “Lender” for the purposes of this Agreement; provided that any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, (i) any Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to

such L/C Issuer or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit and (ii) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced as the Administrative Agent hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 10.09.

(d) In the event that (i) the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent has requested (A) the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or to agree to any amendment thereto, or (B) an existing Lender consent to enter into a Refinancing Amendment pursuant to Section 2.18, (ii) in connection with any consent, waiver or amendment (other than a request for a Refinancing Amendment), the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 11.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain class of the Loans and (iii) in connection with any consent, waiver or amendment (other than a request for a Refinancing Amendment), the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such Extension, Refinancing Amendment or other consent, waiver or amendment, as applicable, shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

3.08 Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, rely on each Borrowing Base Certificate delivered hereunder as accurately setting forth the available Borrowing Base for all purposes of this Agreement until such time as a new Borrowing Base Certificate is delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith. At the election of the Borrowers, Borrowing Base Certificates may be prepared and submitted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on a more frequent basis than required by this Section 6.02(f), provided that such certificate complies with the requirements set forth elsewhere herein, provided, further, that in the event that, pursuant to this sentence, the Borrowers elect to submit a Borrowing Base Certificate more frequently than otherwise required by this Section 6.02(f), the Borrowers shall be required to continue to submit Borrowing Base Certificates on the same frequency basis for the sixty (60) consecutive days following the submission of such Borrowing Base Certificate;

105

Borrowing Base Certificate minus (y) the Unrestricted Cash included in the Borrowing Base pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof (determined by reference to the amount of such Unrestricted Cash set forth in the most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate, Committed Loan Notice, Swing Line Loan Notice, Letter of Credit Application or Unrestricted Cash reporting materials delivered pursuant to this Section 6.02(h), as the case may be); and

(i) promptly, such additional information regarding the business, legal, financial or corporate affairs of any Borrower Party, or compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, as the Administrative Agent or any Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent) may from time to time reasonably request.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any delivery of reports or other information required by Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 shall be deemed satisfied or made when any such reports or information have (A) been posted on the Internet website of the SEC (xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx) or (B) have been posted on the Parent’s Internet website as previously identified to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

The Borrowers hereby agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrowers or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 11.08); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall be under no obligation to xxxx any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”.

GUARANTY

8.01 Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.02, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, the due and punctual payment in full of all Secured Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) or any comparable provisions of any similar federal, provincial, territorial or state laws or any other Debtor Relief Law) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Further, as an original and independent obligation hereunder, each Guarantor organized under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof shall (a) indemnify each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns and keep the Secured Parties indemnified against all costs, losses, expenses and liabilities of whatever kind resulting from the failure by the Loan Parties or any of them, to make due and punctual payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or resulting from any of the Guaranteed Obligations being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective against any Loan Party (including, but without limitation, all legal and other costs, charges and expenses incurred by each Secured Party, or any of them, in connection with preserving or enforcing, or attempting to preserve or enforce, hereunder) and (b) pay on demand the amount of such costs, losses, expenses and liabilities whether or not any of the Secured Parties has attempted to enforce any rights against any Loan Party or any other Person or otherwise, provided, that the qualifications, exceptions and other limitations set forth in Sections 11.04 and 11.05 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the indemnity and payment obligations of any such Guarantor organized under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof set forth in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b).

Without limiting anything in this Article VIII, each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time to each Guarantor that is not an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act at the time the guarantee under this Article VIII or the grant of any security interest under the Loan Documents becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, to honor all of the Secured Obligations of such Guarantor under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligations (provided however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 8.01 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its undertaking under this Section 8.01, or otherwise under this Article VIII, voidable under applicable Laws relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The undertaking of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 8.01 shall remain in full force and effect until termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Loans and other Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 8.01 constitute, and this Section 8.01 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each Guarantor that would otherwise not constitute an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act.

8.02 Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of other federal, state, provincial or territorial law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 8.02, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 8.02), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 8.02. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 8.02 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third-party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 8.02.

8.03 Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 8.02, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Secured Party may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon any Event of Default arising as a result of the failure of the Borrowers to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) or any comparable provisions of any similar federal, provincial, territorial or state laws or any other Debtor Relief Law), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for the Borrowers’ becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Borrowers for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Secured Parties as aforesaid.

132

8.04 Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case, subject to Debtor Relief Laws. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

(b) the Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Borrowers and any Secured Party with respect to the existence and continuance of such Event of Default;

(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Borrowers and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of the Borrowers, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Borrowers or any of such other guarantors and whether or not any Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(e) any Secured Party, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with terms of the Loan Documents; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; and (v) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents or any Secured Hedge Agreements or applicable law; and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents or any

133

Secured Hedge Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Loan Documents, any of the Secured Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Loan Document, such Secured Hedge Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents or any of the Secured Hedge Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Secured Party might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Secured Party’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Borrowers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses (other than defense of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations), set-offs or counterclaims which the Borrowers may allege or assert against any Secured Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

8.05 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of the Secured Parties: (a) any right to require any Secured Party, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against the Borrowers, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrowers, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrowers or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrowers or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Secured Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Borrowers and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 8.04 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

134

8.06 Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have been terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrowers or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrowers with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against the Borrowers, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have been terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 8.02. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against the Borrowers or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Secured Party may have against the Borrowers, to all right, title and interest any Secured Party may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Secured Party may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties and, subject to any applicable intercreditor arrangements to which the Administrative Agent is a party (if any), shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

8.07 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have been terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

8.08 Authority of Guarantors or Borrowers. It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

8.09 Financial Condition of Borrowers. Any Loan may be made to the Borrowers or continued from time to time, and any Secured Hedge Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Borrowers at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Secured Hedge Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Borrowers. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the

135

Borrowers on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrowers and their ability to perform their obligations under the Loan Documents and the Secured Hedge Agreements and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrowers and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Borrowers now known or hereafter known by any Secured Party.

8.10 Bankruptcy, Etc.

(a) The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, winding-up, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Borrowers or any other Guarantor or by any defense which the Borrowers or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Secured Parties that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the Borrowers of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, receiver-manager, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by the Borrowers, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Secured Party as a preference or fraudulent transfer, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

8.11 Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If a Guarantor is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions hereunder or the Equity Interests of any Guarantor is sold in accordance with the provisions hereunder such that the Guarantor is no longer a direct or indirect wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary of a Borrower Party, then in the case of each of such clauses, the Guaranty of such Guarantor and any Subsidiary of such Guarantor that is a Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Secured Party or any other Person effective as of the time of such designation, and the Administrative Agent (both in its capacity as such and as collateral agent) is authorized to execute and deliver such filings, recordings or other documents as the Borrowers may from time to time request to evidence such release.

8.12 Discharge of Guaranty Upon Repayment of Obligations. The Guaranty shall be automatically released upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable).

136

8.13 Designation of the Parent as the Agent for the Loan Parties. For purposes of this Agreement, on and after the Closing Date, each Loan Party hereby designates the then-effective Parent as the agent and representative of each Guarantor for all purposes hereunder (including with respect to any notices, demands, communications or requests under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) and, upon execution of this Agreement (or a joinder thereto), the then-effective Parent hereby accepts each such appointment. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from the Parent as a notice or communication from all the Loan Parties, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Loan Party or the Loan Parties hereunder to the Parent on behalf of such Loan Party or the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking expressly made on its behalf by the Parent shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Loan Party and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Loan Party to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Loan Party. For the avoidance of doubt, upon PublicCo becoming the Parent under this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed automatically to have resigned from such representative appointment.

9.03 Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 9.01 or 9.02, in the event that the Borrowers fail to comply with the requirements of the covenant set forth in Section 7.11 for any period, then (A) until the expiration of the 10^th Business Day subsequent to the date the Compliance Certificate calculating the financial covenant for such period is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a), (the “Anticipated Cure Deadline”), the Borrowers shall have the right to issue common or other Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of the Borrowers in respect of existing Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) (the “Cure Right”) and contribute such cash immediately to the Borrowers for common stock of Parent, and upon the receipt by the Borrowers of such cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by the Borrowers of such Cure Right, the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA as used in the covenant set forth in Section 7.11 shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

(i) Without duplication, Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased for the applicable fiscal quarter and any four fiscal quarter period that contains such fiscal quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the covenant set forth in Section 7.11 and not for any other purpose under this Agreement (including but not limited to determining the availability or amount of any covenant baskets or carve-outs), by an amount equal to the

140

Cure Amount (and the receipt by the Borrowers of the Cure Amount pursuant to the Cure Right and the related increase of Consolidated EBITDA for the applicable quarter shall be deemed to have no other effect whatsoever under this Agreement (including but not limited to determining the availability or amount of any covenant baskets or carve-outs) other than as specifically provided in this Section 9.03. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Cure Amount related to any Cure Right exercised with respect to any fiscal quarter ending on or before September 30, 2017 shall be used to increase Consolidated EBITDA for such fiscal quarter for the purpose of determining the existence of an Event of Default resulting from a breach of the financial covenant for such fiscal quarter, but, for purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA for any subsequent fiscal quarter ending on or prior to September 30, 2017, the Cure Amount for such Cure Right shall be added after calculating Consolidated EBITDA on an annualized basis pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA to avoid duplication; and

(ii) If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Borrowers shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the covenant set forth in Section 7.11, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the covenant set forth in Section 7.11 as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the covenant set forth in Section 7.11 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement; and

(B) upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice, prior to the expiration of the “Anticipated Cure Deadline”, that the Borrowers intend to exercise the Cure Right in respect of a fiscal quarter, the Lenders shall not be permitted to accelerate Loans held by them or to exercise remedies against the Collateral on the basis of a failure to comply with the requirements of the covenant set forth in Section 7.11 until such failure is not cured pursuant to the exercise of the Cure Right on or prior to the Anticipated Cure Deadline; provided, that the Borrowers shall not be permitted to borrow Revolving Credit Loans until the Cure Amount has been received by the Borrowers.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four-fiscal-quarter period there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in respect of which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) there can be no more than five fiscal quarters in respect of which the Cure Right is exercised during the term of the Facilities, and (iii) for purposes of this Section 9.03, the Cure Amount utilized shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the covenant set forth in Section 7.11.

9.04 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 9.02), any amounts received on account of the Secured Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.16 and 2.17, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Section 11.04 and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest, Letter of Credit fees and Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) payable to the Lenders and each L/C Issuer (including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Section 11.05) arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

141

Third, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest due in respect of any Protective Advance or Overadvances payable to the Administrative Agent or Lenders, as applicable, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting unpaid principal of any Protective Advance or Overadvances payable to the Administrative Agent or Lenders, as applicable, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them;

Fifth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit fees and interest on the Loans (other than an Overadvance or a Protective Advance) and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fifth payable to them;

Sixth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans (other than the Overadvance Loans or the Protective Advances) and the L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Sixth held by them;

Seventh, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each L/C Issuer, to Cash Collateralize one hundred three percent (103%) of that portion of the L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Borrowers pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.16;

Eighth, to the payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations then owing under Secured Hedge Agreements and that portion of the Secured Obligations then owing under the Secured Cash Management Agreements, ratably among the Hedge Banks and the Cash Management Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Eighth;

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

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full in immediately available funds, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Sections 2.03(c) and 2.16, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Seventh above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Secured Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

142

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) amounts received from any Loan Party shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan Party and (y) Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank (other than JPMCB or any of its Affiliates), as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article X hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

9.05 Additional Remedies Relating to Accounts. In furtherance and not in limitation of any of the remedies set forth above, during the continuation of an Event of Default and with notice to the Borrowers:

(a) whether or not the Administrative Agent has exercised any or all of its rights and remedies hereunder, (i) each Loan Party will promptly upon written request of the Administrative Agent instruct all account debtors to remit all payments in respect of Accounts to a mailing location selected by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enforce any Loan Party’s rights against its customers and account debtors, and the Administrative Agent or its designee may notify any of such Loan Party’s customers and account debtors that the Accounts of such Loan Party have been assigned to the Administrative Agent or of the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein, and may (either in its own name or in the name of a Loan Party or both) demand, collect (including without limitation by way of a lockbox arrangement), receive, take receipt for, sell, xxx for, compound, settle, compromise and give acquittance for any and all amounts due or to become due on any Account, and, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, file any claim or take any other action or proceeding to protect and realize upon the security interest of the holders of the Secured Obligations in the Accounts. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the Proceeds of its Accounts remitted to or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be solely for the Administrative Agent’s own convenience and that such Loan Party shall not have any right, title or interest in such Accounts or in any such other amounts except as expressly provided herein. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the holders of the Secured Obligations shall have any liability or responsibility to any Loan Party for acceptance of a check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance; and

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter and remain upon the various premises of the Loan Parties without cost or charge to the Administrative Agent, and use the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the Loan Parties for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise. In addition, the Administrative Agent may remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or any records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such Collateral. If the Administrative Agent exercises its right to take possession of the Collateral, each Loan Party shall also at its expense perform any and all other steps reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to preserve and protect the security interest hereby granted in the Collateral, such as placing and maintaining signs indicating the security interest of the Administrative Agent, appointing overseers for the Collateral and maintaining inventory records.

ARTICLE X

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER AGENTS

10.01 Appointment and Authorization of Agents.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article X and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, Section 10.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

10.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

144

10.03 Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein, to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. The Administrative Agent shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans and Commitments, or disclosure of Information, to any Disqualified Institution. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that, subject to Section 11.08, the DQ List may be made available to any Lender by the Administrative Agent (including any updates thereto) upon request by such Lender.

10.04 Reliance by Agents.

(a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Request for Credit Extension and any and all attachments thereto, which such Agent shall not be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether such Request for Credit Extension is properly authorized) or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

145

10.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article IX; provided however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

10.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

10.07 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, and without limitation of the obligations of any Loan Party to do so, to the extent the Borrowers for any reason fail to pay any amount required under Section 11.05 to be paid by them to any Agent-Related Person, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or applicable Agent-Related Person such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that payment of the applicable Indemnified Liability is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, that to the extent any L/C Issuer is entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.07 solely in its capacity and role as L/C Issuer, only the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be required to indemnify such L/C Issuer in accordance with this Section 10.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 10.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section 10.07 shall survive termination of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the payment of all other Secured Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

146

10.08 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Any Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though it were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, an Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that such Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, such Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include such Agent in its individual capacity.

10.09 Successor Agents.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrowers at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 9.01 (a) and (f) (which consent of the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that in no event shall any successor agent be a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and with the consent of the Borrowers (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent,” shall mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X and Sections 11.04 and 11.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements (or equivalent documentation), or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X 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.

147

(b) Any resignation by JPMCB as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.09 shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and as Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

10.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i), 2.03(k), 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, receiver-manager, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.

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

10.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in their capacities as potential Hedge Banks and potential Cash Management Banks) and each L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize and direct the Administrative Agent:

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold or otherwise transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any sale or transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 11.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

148

(b) at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i) and Section 7.01(x); and

(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to subordinate or release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.11. In connection with any event for which a termination or release is authorized pursuant to this Section 10.11, the applicable Liens under the Credit Documents shall be automatically released and terminated and the applicable Guarantors shall be automatically released upon the occurrence of the applicable event, and, in connection with any such termination, release or subordination, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party or Subsidiary, at the expense of such Loan Party or Subsidiary, such documents as such Loan Party or such Subsidiary may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.11.

10.12 Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 9.04, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

10.13 Other Agents; Arranger and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “senior managing agent,” “joint lead arranger,” or “joint bookrunner” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

149

10.14 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.

(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article X and of Section 10.07 (obligating the Borrowers to pay the Administrative Agent’s expenses and to indemnify the Administrative Agent) that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.

(c) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrowers shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

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

11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuers; provided however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) each L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.09 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent.

156

documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigation or defending the Indemnified Liabilities) joint or several, of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any such Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) (including any claims brought by the Borrowers, any Loan Party, their Affiliates and their respective equity holders or their Affiliates) or (c) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding in any way relating to, arising out of, in connection with or by reason of any of the foregoing (any of the forgoing, a “Proceeding”), including for the avoidance of doubt any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party and, regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available (i) to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party (or any Related Person thereof acting under the direction of such Indemnified Party), or (B) a material breach in bad faith of its obligations under the Loan Documents by such Indemnified Party (or any Related Person thereof) or (ii) in connection with any dispute or Proceeding solely among Indemnified Parties other than claims (x) against the Administrative Agent or an Arranger in its capacity or fulfilling its roles as Arranger or Administrative Agent or (y) arising out of any act or omission of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party. No Indemnified Party shall be liable to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other information transmission systems (including electronic telecommunications) in connection with this Agreement other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party (or any Related Person thereof) as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall any Indemnified Party or any Loan Party have any liability to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 11.05 to the extent such special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

The Borrowers and any other Loan Parties shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without their written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with the Loan Parties’ written consent, the Loan Parties agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 11.05. The Loan Parties shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceedings and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if (i)(x) it is determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense of an Indemnified Party

157

has in fact resulted from in clauses (i)(A) or (i)(B) of the proviso of the first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph or (y) the applicable Proceeding is a Proceeding described in clause (ii) of the proviso of the first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, in each case, as a result such Indemnified Party was not entitled to have received payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof or (ii) in connection with any matter subject to indemnification hereunder such Indemnified Party receives more than it was entitled to receive in accordance with the terms hereof, such Indemnified Party will repay promptly such portion of any previously reimbursed amounts that is attributable to loss, claim, damage, liability or expenses incurred in relation to the act or omission of such Indemnified Party or such Proceeding, as applicable, which is the subject of such finding or such excess amount, as applicable. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Related Person” means, with respect to any Indemnified Party, (a) a Controlling Person or Controlled Affiliate of such Indemnified Party, (b) the respective directors, officers, or employees of such Indemnified Party or any of its Controlling Persons or Controlled Affiliates or (c) the respective agents and representatives of such Indemnified Party or any of its Controlling Persons or Controlled Affiliates.

All amounts due under this Section 11.05 shall be payable promptly after delivery of a reasonably detailed invoice together with reasonable backup documentation supporting such invoice and a reasonable opportunity to review such invoice and such backup documentation of such amounts and, if applicable, make protest to the Indemnified Party making such demand. The agreements in this Section 11.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. This Section 11.05 shall not apply with respect to Impositions other than any Impositions that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Imposition claim.

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

11.07 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.07(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.07(d), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.07(f) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.07(g) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed

158

or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 11.07(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, any Indemnified Party) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 11.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided, that:

(i) except (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, no minimum amount shall need be assigned, and (B) in any case not described in clause (b)(i)(A) of this Section 11.07, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans;

(iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section 11.07 and, in addition (A) the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required with respect to assignments of the Revolving Credit Facility unless (1) an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 9.01(a) or 9.01(f) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to a Lender (unless such Lender is a Defaulting Lender); and (C) the consent of each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to a Lender (unless such Lender is a Defaulting Lender);

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except, (x) in the case of assignments to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and (y) the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive such processing and recording fee in the case of any assignment) (for the avoidance of doubt, no Loan Party shall be required to pay any part of such fee);

159

(v) no such assignment shall be made to (A) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (A), (B) a natural person or (C) a Disqualified Institution subject to Section 11.07(i);

(vi) no Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans may be assigned to any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates;

(vii) the assigning Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent; and

(viii) in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share;

provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 11.04 and 11.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.07(d).

160

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such non-fiduciary agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any applicable tax certifications required pursuant to this Agreement (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 11.07(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to determine, monitor or inquire whether any Lender or potential Lender is a Disqualified Institution and that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability with respect to any assignment or participation made to a Disqualified Institution.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, and any Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement 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 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. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 3.01(d) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (e) of the first further proviso to Section 11.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 11.07(e), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.07(b). To the extent that any Participant becomes a Disqualified Institution either before or after it becomes a Participant, such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.07(i) as if it had acquired its interest by assignment. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.09 as though it were a Lender; provided, such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

161

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 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 or such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 and Section 3.04 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with obligations, restrictions and limitations under such Section 3.01, Section 3.04 and Section 11.15 as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 11.15 shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.12(b)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that an SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Sections and the obligations to provide the forms and certifications pursuant to Section 11.15 as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 11.15 shall be delivered to the Granting Lender)); provided, that neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement (including its obligations under Sections 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05). Each party hereto further agrees that (i) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (ii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not, other than in respect of matters unrelated to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

162

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided, that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 11.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents, and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

(i)

(i) No such assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Parent has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution only for the purpose of such assignment or participation). Any assignment or participation in violation of this Section 11.07(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this Section 11.07(i) shall apply;

(ii) if any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution in violation of the preceding paragraph, (A) such Disqualified Institution shall (1) assign and delegate all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to any Eligible Assignees as if such Disqualified Institution was required to do so pursuant to Section 3.07 and (2) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 11.07), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and (B) subject to this Section 11.07, the Borrowers shall be entitled to use specific performance to unwind such assignment or participation in addition to any other remedies available to the Borrowers at law or equity;

(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (w) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (x) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, (y) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or (z) be entitled to any expense reimbursement or indemnification rights and shall be treated in all other respects as a Defaulting Lender; it being understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions shall only apply to a Disqualified Institution and not to any assignee of such Disqualified Institution that becomes a Lender so long as such assignee is not a Disqualified Institution or an affiliate thereof and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any

163

action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (a “Bankruptcy Plan”), each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Bankruptcy Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Bankruptcy Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Bankruptcy Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by court of competent jurisdiction effectuating the foregoing clause (2);

(iv) with respect to any assignee or participant that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the date on which the applicable Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of or provide a participation interest with respect to its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (including as a result of the delivery of a written update to the DQ List pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (A) such assignment or participation (and any trade entered into in connection therewith) shall not be retroactively invalidated, (B) the execution by the Borrowers of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution and (C) no further information, reports, or other materials regarding the Borrowers and their Affiliates will be delivered by the applicable Lender to such assignee or participant; and

(v) subject to Section 11.08 as to a Lender, the Borrowers expressly acknowledge that each Lender has the right to provide the DQ List to an actual or bona fide prospective assignee, participant or Swap Contract counterparty so that such assignee, participant or Swap Contract counterparty can review the DQ List and represent and warrant to the parties to this Agreement that it is not a Disqualified Institution; provided that, prior to providing such DQ List to an actual or bona fide prospective assignee, participant or Swap Contract counterparty, such Person shall be subject to a confidentiality agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those in Section 11.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers) (such right, the “DQ List Disclosure Right”).

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time JPMCB assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to Section 11.07(b), JPMCB may, (i) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrowers, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of JPMCB as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If JPMCB resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If JPMCB resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such

164

resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (A) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (B) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to JPMCB to effectively assume the obligations of JPMCB with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(k) The applicable Lender, 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 (i) each SPC (other than any SPC that is treated as a disregarded entity of the Granting Lender for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that has exercised its option pursuant to Section 11.07(g) and (ii) each Participant, and the amount of each such SPC’s and Participant’s interest in such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) 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 shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable rights and/or obligations of such Lender under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

11.08 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who need to know such Information (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential in accordance with customary practices for secured lending transactions); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Agent, Lender or its respective Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) or in any legal, judicial, administrative proceeding or other compulsory process or otherwise as required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that if permitted by applicable law or court order, each Lender and Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency or other examinations of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information; (c) to any other party to this Agreement; (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers), to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any bona fide prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or bona fide prospective Swap Contract counterparty under which payments are to be made by reference to the Loan Parties and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (f) with the consent of the Borrowers; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.08; (h) to any state, federal foreign authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; (i) in connection with any pledge or assignment permitted under Section 11.07(f); (j) in

165

consultation with the Borrowers, to any rating agency that requires access to such information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender) or (k) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the Facilities hereunder; provided that, no disclosure shall be made to any Disqualified Institution other than (1) any disclosure of the DQ List that is made in connection with the DQ List Disclosure Right as described in Section 11.07(i)(v) and (2) any disclosure that has been made to a bona fide prospective participant, assignee or swap counterparty prior to such entity being designated a Disqualified Institution. In addition, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and, where applicable, the Lenders may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement and information about the terms of this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 11.08, “Information” means all information (including, without limitation, the DQ List) received from the Administrative Agent (in the case of the DQ List) or any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or its business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.08; provided, that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.08 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

11.09 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrowers (on their own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Secured Obligations then due and owing to such Lender or its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Secured Obligations may be denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, in no event shall the assets of any Foreign Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party or the assets of any Excluded Subsidiary described in clauses (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of the definition of Excluded Subsidiary \

166

constitute security, or shall the proceeds of such assets be available for, payment of the Secured Obligations of the Loan Parties or any Domestic Subsidiary, it being understood that the Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party or any Excluded Subsidiary described in clauses (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of the definition of Excluded Subsidiary that are, in each case, directly owned by a Domestic Subsidiary that is a Guarantor do not constitute such an asset (and may be pledged, if at all, to the extent expressly set forth in Section 6.12).

11.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Secured Obligations hereunder.

(a) If any provision of this Agreement would oblige any Loan Party organized in Canada to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any applicable Law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the affected Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Lenders shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Loan Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the Lenders in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the Lenders to the applicable Loan Party. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the Latest Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile, telecopier or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document.

11.12 Integration; No Strict Construction; Effectiveness. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided, that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

11.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

11.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.15 Tax Forms.

(a) (i) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, by means of an assignment), (x) two duly signed, properly completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (y) two duly signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN or any successor thereto and a certificate that establishes in writing to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is not (i) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a 10-

(ii) The Loan Parties shall not be required to pay any additional amount or any indemnity payment under Section 3.01 with respect to any United States withholding Tax or United States backup withholding to (A) any such Foreign Lender if such Foreign Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.15(a) (subject to the exception in Section 11.15(e)), or (B) any such U.S. Lender if such U.S. Lender shall have failed to satisfy the provisions of Section 11.15(b); provided, that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this Section 11.15(a) or Section 11.15(b), as applicable, on the date such Lender became a Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as a result of an assignment) or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 11.15(a) or Section 11.15(b) shall relieve the Loan Parties of their obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable Law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any U.S. Tax Law Change, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, or certificates at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate.

(b) Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers two duly signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, by means of an assignment) and thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding, or any successor form.

169

(c) In addition, each Lender and Agent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine, where applicable, whether payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to such Lender or Agent are subject to application of the United States federal withholding taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA and to comply with their respective obligations, if any, under FATCA, and to determine whether such Lender or Agent has complied with its obligations under FATCA. Solely, for purposes of this Section 11.15(c), “FATCA” shall include any amendments thereof or successor provisions thereto.

(d) If a payment is made by BJ Services Holdings Canada, ULC (the “Canadian Loan Party”) under this Agreement, each Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Loan Party such other tax forms or other documents reasonably requested by the Canadian Loan Party or the Administrative Agent certifying the entitlement to such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any Canadian withholding tax pursuant to the provisions of any bilateral tax treaty. The Canadian Loan Party shall not be required to pay any additional amount or any indemnity payment under Section 3.01 with respect to any Canadian withholding Tax if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the provisions of this Section 11.15(d) (subject to the exception in Section 11.15(e)).

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.15, (i) a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally able to deliver and (ii) execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 11.15(a)(i)(x), 11.15(a)(i)(y), 11.15(a)(i)(z), 11.15(b) and 11.15(c)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(f) For the purposes of this Section 11.15, the term Lender shall, for avoidance of doubt, include the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender.

(c) (i) No Grantor will adjust, settle or purposely compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable or accept in satisfaction of a Receivable less than the original amount thereof, release wholly or partly any obligor thereof, or allow any further credit, rebate, discount or other reduction in the original amount owing on a Receivable without the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), except (A) in the case of delinquent Accounts (that are not Eligible Accounts Receivable) in the ordinary course of business or consistent with commercially reasonable practices customary for the circumstances and (B) such Grantor may discount, credit, rebate and reduce the amount of Accounts in accordance with commercially reasonable practices and in the ordinary course of business, provided that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor will not materially discount, credit, rebate and reduce the amount of Accounts without the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) no Grantor will knowingly consent to the subordination of its right to payment under any material Receivables to any other indebtedness or obligations of the obligor thereof.

(d) If (i) any material discount, credit or agreement to make a rebate or to otherwise reduce the amount owing on any Receivable owned by such Grantor exists or (ii) if, to the knowledge of such Grantor, any material dispute, setoff, claim, counterclaim or defense exists or has been asserted or threatened with respect to any such Receivable, except in the case of Accounts (that are not Eligible Accounts Receivable) in the ordinary course of business or consistent with commercially reasonable practices customary for the circumstances, such Grantor will promptly disclose such fact to the Administrative Agent in writing.

(e) Each Grantor shall take all steps necessary to grant the Administrative Agent Control of all electronic chattel paper constituting Collateral with a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate, in accordance with the UCC and all “transferable records” as defined in each of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act.

Section 9. Deposit Accounts, Commodity Accounts and Securities Accounts. Upon the occurrence and continuation of a Cash Dominion Trigger Event and until the termination of such Cash Dominion Trigger Event (and/or any other then existing Cash Dominion Trigger Event) in accordance with Section 6.16(b) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to exercise exclusive control over all Deposit Accounts (other than the Excluded Accounts), Commodity Accounts (other than the Excluded Accounts) and Securities Accounts (other than the Excluded Accounts). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Administrative Agent shall not give any instruction directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account, Commodity Account or Securities Account or withhold any withdrawal rights from such Grantor with respect to funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account or give an entitlement order relating to any Securities Account, unless a Cash Dominion Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing and, upon the waiver or deemed termination of such Cash Dominion Trigger Event (provided that no other Cash Dominion Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing at such time), upon such Grantor’s written request, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a notice rescinding such instruction and thereupon Control of such Deposit Account, Commodity Account or Securities Account, as applicable, shall revert to the applicable Grantor.

Section 10. Inventory.

(a) Each Grantor will do all things necessary to maintain, preserve, protect and keep its Inventory in good repair and working and saleable condition, except for damaged or defective goods arising in the ordinary course of such Grantor’s business.

All returned Inventory shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s Liens thereon.

Section 12. Federal, State or Municipal Claims. After obtaining actual knowledge, each Grantor will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any Collateral which constitutes a claim with a value in excess of $5,000,000 individually or $10,000,000 in the aggregate against the United States government or any state or local government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, the assignment of which claim is restricted by federal, state or municipal law.

Section 13. Transfers and Other Liens. Each Grantor agrees that it will not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, other than sales, assignments and other dispositions of Collateral, and options relating to Collateral, permitted under the terms of Section 7.05 of the Credit Agreement or (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of such Grantor except for the pledge, assignment and security interest created under this Agreement and other Permitted Liens.

Section 14. No Interference. Each Grantor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Administrative Agent provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies.

Section 16. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion (provided, that, the Administrative Agent agrees that, except for the powers granted in this Section 16(d) and (p), it shall not exercise any power or authority granted to it unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

(e) to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes, assessments, fees, charges or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, any such payments made by the Administrative Agent to become Obligations of such Grantor to the Administrative Agent,

(f) sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do,

All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved.

Section 17. Administrative Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, but without any obligation to do so itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under Section 26.

Section 18. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property.

(a) For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants (such grant effective solely after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, a (until the occurrence of events in Section 30(d)) nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property reasonably related to the Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located in the United States; provided, that such license shall be limited to the purposes and scope of any license granted hereunder and only be used to the extent necessary for the Administrative Agent to exercise the remedies expressly set forth in Section 18(c); provided, further that any such license granted by the Administrative Agent to a third party shall be limited to include reasonable and customary terms necessary to preserve the existence and validity of the affected Intellectual Property, including without limitation, provisions requiring the continuing confidential handling of trade secrets, requiring the use of appropriate notices and prohibiting the use of false notices, protecting and maintaining the quality standards of the Trademarks in the manner set forth below (it being understood and agreed that, nothing in the foregoing license grant shall be construed as granting the Administrative Agent rights in and to such Intellectual Property above and beyond (x) the rights to such Intellectual Property that each Grantor has reserved for itself and (y) in the case Intellectual Property that is licensed to any such Grantor by a third party, the extent to which such Grantor has the right to grant a sublicense to such IP Collateral hereunder).

(b) The use of such license by the Administrative Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and only to the extent to exercise the remedies expressly set forth in Section 18(c); provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith shall immediately terminate at such time as the Administrative Agent is no longer lawfully entitled to exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 18 shall require a Grantor to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, with respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the relevant Grantor.

(c) Each Grantor irrevocably agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and consistent with the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent may sell any of such Grantor’s Inventory directly to any Person, including Persons that have previously purchased the Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor, and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement, may sell Inventory that bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor.

Section 19. Nature of Appointment; Limitation of Duty.

(a) The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties, hereunder (including, without limitation, under Section 16) are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody and physical preservation of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN SECTION 16 IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 30. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY, ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF THEIR OR THEIR AFFILIATES’ RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OR POWER GRANTED HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO ITS OWN BAD FAITH, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION; PROVIDED THAT, IN NO EVENT SHALL THEY BE LIABLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

Section 20. Account Verification. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may at any reasonable time, in the Administrative Agent’s own name, (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) communicate with the Account Debtors of any such Grantor, parties to contracts with any such Grantor and obligors in respect of Instruments constituting Collateral of any such Grantor to verify with such Persons, to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper, payment intangibles and/or other Receivables, in each case, that constitute Collateral.

Section 21. Remedies.

(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any and all of the following rights and remedies:

(i)

The Administrative Agent may exercise those rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document; provided, that, this Section 21(a)(i) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default.

(ii)

The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), including without limitation, Section 9-607 of the UCC or under any other applicable Law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Administrative Agent may further, at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations then due and owing against any funds held with respect to any Deposit Account that is not an Excluded Account.

(iii)

The Administrative Agent may further, pursuant to the terms hereof, exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Receivables and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Deposit Accounts (other than the Excluded Accounts) and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Receivables and the other Collateral.

(iv)

Without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 23 or elsewhere herein), demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person, the Administrative Agent may enter the premises during normal business hours of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis), grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable.

(v)

To extent a Cash Dominion Trigger Event is then in effect, the Administrative Agent may give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Deposit Account Control Agreement, Lockbox Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or Commodity Account Control Agreement and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral.

(b) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense:

(i)

upon request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent, and all books and records relating thereto, and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place or places and times to be reasonably designated by the Administrative Agent, whether at a Grantor’s premises or otherwise, and

(ii)

permit the Administrative Agent, by the Administrative Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Grantor for such use and occupancy.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Furthermore, until the Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

(d) After any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor agrees that:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases,

(ii) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may comply with any applicable state or federal Law in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral,

(iii) all payments received by any Grantor under or in connection in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be promptly paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement),

(iv) the Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral,

(v) except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Administrative Agent against the Secured Obligations in the order of priority set forth in Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement, and

(vi) if the Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by the Administrative Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to: (i) marshal any of the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, (ii) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, the Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 21 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent, that the Administrative Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 21 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses (other than defense of payment) against an action for specific performance of such covenants, without limiting the right of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 21 shall in any way alter the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 22. Grantors’ Waivers. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable Law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Section 28, at least ten (10) days prior to (a) the date of any such public sale or (b) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

Section 23. Limitation on Administrative Agent’s and Other Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the

Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable Law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Administrative Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, consultants and other customary professionals used for collections and dispositions of items constituting Collateral to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 23 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 23. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 23 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Law in the absence of this Section 23.

Section 24. Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Grantors and the Administrative Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Administrative Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Administrative Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

Section 25. Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Administrative Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Agreement and the Grantors shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any amounts paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 25. The Grantors’ obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Section 26. Indemnity and Expenses. The expense and indemnity provisions of Sections 11.04 and 11.05 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

Section 27. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Cumulative Remedies, Etc.

(a) This Agreement and the provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated except as set forth in Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the Lenders required under Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement and, unless not otherwise required hereunder, each Grantor, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Reference is made to that certain Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2017 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, waived, supplemented, extended, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement” and together with certain other documents executed in connection therewith, the “Loan Documents”), by and among BJ Services, LLC (as “Borrower”, together with any other entity joined as a co-borrower thereunder, the “Borrowers”), the guarantors from time to time party thereto (together with the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (together with any successors or permitted assigns in such capacity, “Agent”) and the other parties from time to time party thereto. The Lessee, together with the other Loan Parties, has agreed to secure the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents by granting a security interest to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in certain of the Lessee’s personal property and other assets and all products and proceeds of the foregoing, as more fully described as “Collateral” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement (the “Collateral”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral does not include any Excluded Property (as defined in Credit Agreement) which Excluded Property includes, among other things, any equipment, any interest in real property and any fixtures.

D. Agent has requested that Landlord execute this Agreement in connection with the making of the loans and other financial accommodations under the Credit Agreement.

A G R E E M E N T :

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, Agent, as follows:

1. The Lease is in full force and effect and the parties party thereto are not in default, and a true and complete copy is attached hereto as Schedule B. To the extent applicable, Landlord hereby waives any confidentiality provision pertaining to the Lease with regards to sharing it with Agent, Lenders and other Secured Parties.

2. Landlord (a) has not assigned its claims for payment, if any, nor its right to perfect or assert a lien of any kind whatsoever against any inventory and other Collateral located on the Leased Premises, (b) has the right, power and authority to execute this Agreement and (c) holds [legal title] [legal rights] to the Leased Premises.

3. Landlord acknowledges the validity of Agent’s lien on the Collateral and agrees that any inventory and other Collateral is and will remain personal property of the Lessee and not be deemed fixtures even though it may be affixed to or placed on the Leased Premises, regardless of the manner or mode of attachment to the Leased Premises. Landlord hereby waives and relinquishes in favor of Agent any interest in the Collateral. Landlord further agrees that it will not assert or exercise, any right, claim, title, interest or security interest in or lien upon any of the Collateral which it may have or acquire by reason of the installation in, attachment to or location of the Collateral at the Leased Premises, or for any other reason (including without limitation any landlord’s lien or rights of levy, distraint, seizure or execution), whether arising under any agreement, instrument or law now or hereafter in effect.

4. Landlord agrees that the Collateral may be inspected and evaluated by Agent or its designee without the necessity of court order and without payment of any fee.

5. In the event of a default in the payment or performance of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Loan Documents (as set forth more fully in the Loan Documents) or if Landlord takes possession of the Leased Premises for any reason, including because of the termination of the Lease for any reason (each, a “Disposition Event”), Landlord agrees that, at Agent’s option, the Collateral may remain upon the Leased Premises for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days (the “Disposition Period”) after (x) Agent takes possession of the Leased Premises or (y) receipt by Agent of a Default Notice (as defined below), as the case may be; provided that Agent pays rent on a per diem basis for the period of time Agent remains on the Leased Premises, based upon the amount of rent set forth in the Lease. If any injunction or stay is issued (including an automatic stay due to a bankruptcy proceeding) that prohibits Agent from removing the Collateral, commencement of the Disposition Period shall be deferred until such injunction or stay is lifted or removed.

6. During any Disposition Period, Agent (a) or its designee may, without the necessity of court order, enter upon the Leased Premises at any time during normal business hours to inspect, appraise, repossess, prepare for sale, remove or otherwise deal with all or any Collateral in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, without interference by Landlord, and Agent or its designee may sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of that Collateral free of all liens, claims, demands, rights and interests that Landlord may have in that Collateral by law or agreement, including, without limitation, by public auction or private sale (provided that such public auction, private sale, or other disposition of Collateral may not be advertised on the Leased Premises), in each case, without interference by Landlord and (b) shall make the Leased Premises available for inspection by Landlord and prospective tenants and shall cooperate in Landlord’s reasonable efforts to re-lease the Leased Premises. The right of access provided in this Agreement is a contractual right granted by Landlord to Agent and is not intended to limit Agent’s rights, if any, to obtain access to the Leased Premises in any other manner provided under applicable law or under any Loan Document.

7. Agent shall promptly repair, at Agent’s expense (for the account of the Borrowers and the Loan Parties, in accordance with, and subject to any qualifications, limits or exclusions in, the Loan Documents), or reimburse Landlord for any physical damage to the Leased Premises actually caused by the conduct of any auction, inspection, appraisal, repossession, preparation for sale and any removal of the Collateral by or through Agent (ordinary wear and tear excluded). Neither Agent nor any Lender shall (a) be liable to Landlord for any diminution in value caused by the absence of any removed Collateral or for any other matter except as specifically set forth herein or (b) have any duty or obligation to remove, retain, hold, continue to hold, sell or otherwise deal with any or all of the Collateral from the Leased Premises. Under no circumstances shall Agent be liable for any past due rent owing by the Lessee to Landlord.

8. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Lessee’s grant of a security interest in and lien on the Collateral in favor of Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall not constitute a default under the Lease nor permit Landlord to terminate the Lease or re-enter or repossess the Leased Premises or otherwise be the basis for the exercise of any remedy by Landlord, and Landlord hereby expressly consents to the granting of such security interest and lien and agrees that such security interest and lien in favor of Agent shall be superior to any right of levy or distraint, security interest, claim, right, title or other interest or lien of Landlord (statutory or otherwise) in, to or under the Collateral.

9. Landlord agrees to provide written notice to Agent of the occurrence of any default by the Lessee under the Lease (a “Default Notice”) and agrees to permit Agent to cure any such default within fifteen (15) days of Agent’s receipt of such Default Notice, but neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to cure any default by Lessee under the Lease. Landlord further agrees to provide Agent with advance written notice in the event Landlord sells, transfers or disposes the Leased Premises or any portion thereof. No action by Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assumption by Agent or Lenders of any obligation under the Lease, and except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Agent shall not have any obligation to Landlord.

10. Without affecting the validity of this Agreement, any of the Obligations may be extended, amended, or otherwise modified without the consent of Landlord and without giving notice thereof to Landlord. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, permitted assigns and representatives of Landlord and Agent (and Agent’s successors and permitted assigns). Landlord will disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to any purchaser or successor to Landlord’s interest (or any portion thereof) in the Leased Premises; provided that, this Agreement may not be filed in the land records for the Real Property.

11. All notices to any party hereto under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent to such party at its respective address set forth above (or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 11) by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or by overnight delivery service.

12. Nothing contained herein, and no exercise by Agent of any of its rights hereunder (including the entry by Agent to the Leased Premises and the making of any payments by Agent to Landlord), shall be deemed to make Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party a tenant at the Leased Premises or be deemed to delegate any duties or obligations under the Lease to or constitute any assumption thereof by Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party under the Credit Agreement.

13. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations (other than inchoate or contingent obligations for which no claims have been made) have been satisfied in full and the Loan Documents are terminated in accordance with their respective terms and conditions, at which point this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be without any further force or effect.

14. This Agreement shall be binding and effective upon the execution hereof by the undersigned and no amendment, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be binding or effective as to any party unless it is in writing and signed by such party. The person signing this Agreement on behalf of Landlord represents to Agent that he/she has the authority to do so on behalf of Landlord.

15. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, which together shall constitute one instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by fax transmission or other electronic mail transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

16. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

17. WAIVER OF SPECIAL DAMAGES. LANDLORD WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT LANDLORD MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER FROM AGENT IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

18. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION: WAIVER OF VENUE. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. LANDLORD AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT BY AGENT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK. BY ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, LANDLORD SUBMITS TO AND ACCEPTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. LANDLORD WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT THE STATE OF NEW YORK IS NOT A CONVENIENT FORUM OR PROPER VENUE FOR ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

19. SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

20. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 20 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

21. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.
