(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, financial ratios and tests, including the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.4; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.4(b), (c) or (d), when (i) calculating the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of (A) the definition of “Applicable Margin” and the Pricing Grid and (B) determining actual compliance (and not compliance on a pro forma basis) with any covenant pursuant to Section 8.1 and (ii) calculating the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of the definition of “ECF Percentage”, the events described in this Section 1.4 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Reference Period shall not be given pro forma effect and shall be calculated at the last day of such fiscal year or fiscal quarter, as the case may be. In addition, whenever a financial ratio or test is to be calculated on a pro forma basis, the reference to the “Reference Period” for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall be based on, the most recently ended Reference Period for which financial statements of the Borrower have been delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or (b), as applicable (or, if prior to the date of delivery of the first financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1, the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 5.1).

(b) For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test, Significant Transactions (with any incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to be subject to Section 1.4(d)) that have been made (i) during the applicable Reference Period and (ii) if applicable as described in Section 1.4(a), subsequent to such Reference Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Significant Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Significant Transaction) had occurred on the first day (or, in case of the determination of Consolidated Total Tangible Assets, the last day) of the applicable Reference Period. If since the beginning of any applicable Reference Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated

with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Reference Period shall have made any Significant Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.4, then such financial ratio or test (or Consolidated Total Tangible Assets) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.4.

(c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Significant Transaction, the calculations made on a pro forma basis shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower and include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies projected by the Borrower in good faith to be realized as a result of the Transactions or any Significant Transaction (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies were realized during the entirety of such period), and “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period in connection with the Transactions or any Significant Transaction, as applicable, (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent Reference Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized relating to the Transactions or such Significant Transaction, as applicable; provided that (i) such amounts are reasonably anticipated to be realized and reasonably factually supportable and quantifiable in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, (ii) such actions are to be taken within (A) in the case of any such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies in connection with the Transactions, not later than eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, and (B) in all other cases, within 18 months after the consummation of the Significant Transaction, which is expected to result in such cost savings, expense reductions, other operating improvements or synergies and (iii) and no cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies shall be added pursuant to this clause 1.4(c) to the extent duplicative of any expenses or charges otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA, whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period; provided further that any increase to Consolidated EBITDA as a result of cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) shall be subject to the limitation set forth in clause (vii) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA.”

(d) In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility), (i) during the applicable Reference Period or (ii) subject to Section 1.4(a) subsequent to the end of the applicable Reference Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Reference Period. If any Indebtedness bears a floating or formula based rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedge Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness).

(e) At any time prior to the first date on which the Financial Covenants are required to be tested under Section 8.1, any provision requiring the pro forma compliance with Section 8.1 shall be made assuming that compliance with the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 8.1 for the Reference Period ending on such date is required with respect to the most recent Reference Period prior to such time.

(f) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of:

(i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement (other than the Financial Covenants) which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any financial ratio set forth in Section 2.4(a)); or

(ii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets determined by reference to Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Tangible Assets);

in each case, at the option of the Borrower and, to the extent required by Section 2.4 or Section 3.16, with the consent of the requisite lenders required thereby (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition (and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith), the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date would have failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Tangible Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have failed to have been complied with as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of Restricted Payments, the making of any Investment, mergers, Dispositions of assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, repurchase, conversion, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (each, a “Subsequent Transaction”) 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 or irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a pro forma basis (i) 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 (ii) 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.

1.5 Currency Equivalents Generally.

(a) For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 8.2, 8.3 and 8.7 with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no 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); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the below provisions of Section 1.5 shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Investment or Indebtedness may be incurred or made at any time under such Sections.

(b) For purposes of determining the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio, amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the Borrower’s financial statements corresponding to the Reference Period with respect to the applicable date of determination and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Swap Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar Amount of such Indebtedness; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, L/C Obligations denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars at the Exchange Rate.

1.6 Schedules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (a) solely to the extent related to the Acquired Business, the Borrower may, on or prior to the Acquisition Effective Date, update any disclosure schedule or make any other qualification or disclosure with respect to any representation and warranty contained in Section 5 of this Agreement, in any case, unless the matters described in such updated or supplemented schedule or other disclosure would require or permit the Borrower to terminate the Acquisition Agreement or decline to consummate the Acquisition, and such updated or supplemented schedule or other disclosure shall replace such schedule or other disclosure provided on the Closing Date, without any requirement for any amendment or any consent by any Agent, any Lender, any Lead Arranger or any other Loan Party, (b) to the extent related to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Business), if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree, the Borrower may, on or prior to the Acquisition Effective Date, update any disclosure schedule or make any other qualification or disclosure with respect to any representation and warranty contained in Section 5 of this Agreement, but solely to the extent necessary to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or to the extent immaterial or not adverse to any Lender, and such updated or supplemented schedule or other disclosure shall replace such schedule or other disclosure provided on the Closing Date, and (c) to the extent agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, Schedule 5.15 to the Disclosure Letter may be amended by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to set forth the arrangements and timing for the completion of the granting and/or perfection of any security interest in any Collateral or other matters to the extent such granting and/or perfection or other matters is not practicable to be completed on or prior to the Acquisition Effective Date, and such amended schedule shall replace such schedule or provided on the Closing Date, without any requirement for any amendment or any consent by any other Agent, any Lender, any Lead Arranger or any other Loan Party. For the avoidance of doubt, such Schedules to the Disclosure Letter may not be amended pursuant to this Section 1.6 after the Acquisition Effective Date.

SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF TERM COMMITMENTS

2.1 Term Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Term Lender severally agrees to make, on the Closing Date, one or more term loans (each, a “Closing Date Term Loan” and collectively, the “Closing Date Term Loans”) to the Borrower in Dollars in an amount equal to such Term Lender’s Closing Date Term Commitments, the proceeds of which Closing Date Term Loans shall be deposited into the Escrow Account pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Term Loans may from time to time be Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 4.3. The Borrower may make only one borrowing in respect of the Closing Date Term Commitments which shall be on the Closing Date. All amounts borrowed hereunder with respect to the Closing Date Term Loans shall be paid in full no later than the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date, if not earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Term Lender’s Closing Date Term Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender’s Closing Date Term Commitment on such date.

2.2 Procedure for Term Loan Borrowings. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior to the Closing Date) requesting that the Term Lenders make the Closing Date Term Loans on the Closing Date and specifying the amount to be borrowed. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Term Lender thereof. Not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Closing Date, each applicable Term Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Closing Date Term Loans to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Closing Date Term Loans available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Escrow Account as designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent. After the Closing Date, each borrowing of Term Loans, each conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Term Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (a) telephone, or (b) a Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephone notice must be confirmed promptly on the same date prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time such telephonic notice is given by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice. Other than as set forth above with respect to Term Loan Borrowings on the Closing Date, each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (i) 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Term Loans or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Term Loans to ABR Loans, and (ii) no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the requested date of any borrowing or continuation of ABR Loans.

2.3 Repayment of Term Loans. Commencing with the Quarterly Payment Date occurring on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter ended after the Acquisition Effective Date and on each Quarterly Payment Date thereafter, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Term Lenders holding outstanding Closing Date Term Loans, an amount equal 0.25% of the aggregate initial principal amount of all Closing Date Term Loans theretofore borrowed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 (which amounts shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 4.8 or Sections 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable). The remaining unpaid principal amount of the Closing Date Term Loans and all other Obligations under or in respect of the Closing Date Term Loans shall be due and payable in full, if not earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, on the Term Loan Maturity Date, except to the extent extended by an individual Lender as to such Lender’s Term Loan.

2.4 Incremental Term Loans.

(a) Borrower Request. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time after the Acquisition Effective Date by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more new term loan facilities or an increase in any existing tranche of Term Loans (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”) with term loan commitments (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) in an aggregate principal amount, when combined with the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments, Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments under Section 3.16 and all Incremental Equivalent Debt under Section 2.5, not in excess of the greater of (i) $500,000,000 and (ii) an amount equal to the maximum amount of additional Loans that could be incurred by the Borrower at such time without causing the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio to be greater than 1.50 to 1.00, calculated after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, provided that (A) the cash proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be excluded for the purposes of cash netting from Indebtedness in such calculations,

(B) assuming the full amount of any Incremental Revolving Commitments are borrowed (whether or not funded or outstanding) and (C) all Incremental Term Facilities, Incremental Revolving Commitments, Incremental Equivalent Debt and permitted refinancings of the foregoing shall be included in the numerator of such First Lien Net Leverage Ratio calculation regardless of whether, or to what extent secured, and in minimum increments of $10,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser minimum increments as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion) (the foregoing amount, the “Available Incremental Amount”). Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, a “Term Loan Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such earlier date as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion) and (ii) the identity of each Person (which, if not a Lender, an Approved Fund or an Affiliate of a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment be allocated and the amounts of such allocations.

(b) Conditions. With respect to any Incremental Term Loan Commitments, such Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective, as of such Term Loan Increase Effective Date; provided that:

(i) the condition set forth in Section 6.2(c) shall be satisfied (except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Increase Term Joinder);

(ii) Each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date (except to (A) the extent made as of a specific date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such specific date and (B) representations and warranties qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects); provided that, if the primary purpose of such Incremental Term Facility is to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition permitted under Section 8.7, with the consent of only the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility, the foregoing shall be limited to the Specified Representations (other than Section 5.19 with respect to the target in such Permitted Acquisition and its subsidiaries);

(iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the borrowings to be made on the Term Loan Increase Effective Date (except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Increase Term Joinder); provided that, if the primary purpose of such Incremental Term Facility is to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, permitted under Section 8.7, with the consent of only the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility, the foregoing shall at the Borrower’s election instead be tested at the time of the execution of the relevant definitive acquisition agreement; and

(iv) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered a duly executed Increase Term Joinder and any customary legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(c) Terms of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments. The terms and provisions of the Term Loans made pursuant to the Incremental Term Loan Commitments (the “Incremental Term Loans”) shall be as follows:

(i) such terms and provisions shall be consistent with the existing Term Loans (except as otherwise set forth herein) and, to the extent not consistent with such existing Term Loans, on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility (it being understood that Incremental Term Loans may be part of the existing tranche of Term Loans or may comprise one or more new tranches of Term Loans); provided that except as otherwise set forth in clauses (ii)–(vi) below and clause (b) above, the terms shall be (taken as a whole) no more favorable (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) to the Incremental Lenders under the relevant Incremental Term Facility than those applicable to the then-existing Term Loans or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest final maturity date of the then-existing Term Loans at the time of incurrence of the Incremental Term Facility);

(ii) the amortization requirements for such Incremental Term Loans may differ from those of the Term Loans, provided that the weighted average life to maturity of all new Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of any Term Loans outstanding at such time;

(iii) the final stated maturity date of Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the latest Term Loan Maturity Date of any Term Loans outstanding at such time without taking into account any ability to extend such Term Loan Maturity Date that has not yet been exercised;

(iv) any Incremental Term Facility shall have fees as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders under such Incremental Term Facility subject to clause (vi) below;

(v) any Incremental Term Facility may provide for the ability to 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 or mandatory prepayments of Term Loans hereunder;

(vi) the applicable yield for the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable new Lenders; provided however, that if the All-In Yield for any Incremental Term Loans incurred is greater than the highest applicable All-in-Yield that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to Term Loans then outstanding plus 50 basis points then such yield for the then existing Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the yield is equal to such Incremental Term Facility minus 50 basis points; provided that if such Incremental Term Facility includes a Eurocurrency Rate floor greater than the Eurocurrency Rate floor applicable to the then-existing Term Loans, or an ABR floor greater than the ABR floor applicable to the then-existing Term Loans such differential between the Eurocurrency Rate or ABR floors shall be equated to the applicable All-in Yield for purposes of determining whether an increase to the interest rate margin under the then existing Term Loans shall be required, but only to the extent an increase in the Eurocurrency Rate or ABR floor in the then-existing Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case, the Eurocurrency Rate or ABR floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the then-existing Term Loans shall be increased to the extent of such differential between the Eurocurrency Rate or ABR floors; and

(vii) Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment and benefit from the same guarantees as, and be secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral securing the other Loans.

Incremental Term Loans may be provided by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender shall have an obligation to make any Incremental Term Loan Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Term Loan Commitment) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who will become Lenders in connection with such Incremental Term Facility; provided that the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders (in each case not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required with respect to any additional Lender to the same extent such consent would for an assignment of an existing Loan to such Lender pursuant to Section 11.6(b). The Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Term Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such Incremental Term Loan Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them. Incremental Term Loans may be used for the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ general corporate purposes, including any transaction not prohibited under this Agreement. The Increase Term Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.4. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in the Loan Documents to Term Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Term Loans that are Term Loans made pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Making of Incremental Term Loans. On any Term Loan Increase Effective Date on which Incremental Term Loan Commitments are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Lender of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Loan Commitment.

(e) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and without limiting the foregoing, shall benefit equally and ratably from security interests created by the Security Documents and the guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such Class of Incremental Term Loans or any such Incremental Term Loan Commitments.

2.5 Incremental Equivalent Debt. (a) At any time and from time to time after the Acquisition Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may issue one or more series of Incremental Equivalent Debt in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Available Incremental Amount as of the date of and after giving effect to the issuance of any such Incremental Equivalent Debt when combined with the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments under Section 2.4, Incremental Revolving Commitments under Section 3.16, and any other Incremental Equivalent Debt under this Section 2.5.

(b) The issuance of any Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to this Section 2.5 (i) shall in all cases, be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to Incremental Term

Loan Commitments set forth under Section 2.4(b)(iii) and Section 2.4(c)(ii) through (v), (ii) shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than the Subsidiary Guarantors and shall not be secured by any Lien on any property or asset of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral, and (iii) shall contain covenants, events of default, guarantees (if any) and other terms customary for similar debt instruments in light of then-prevailing market conditions at the time of issuance, it being understood that a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to or at the incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material terms and conditions of such Incremental Equivalent Debt or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that the Borrower has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions of the Incremental Equivalent Debt satisfy the requirement set forth in this clause (b), shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions have been satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.5(b), (i) if the Incremental Equivalent Debt is incurred in the form of Permitted Pari Passu Indebtedness that is floating rate debt, such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to Incremental Term Loan Commitments under Section 2.4(c)(vi), and (ii) if the Incremental Equivalent Debt is incurred in the form of Permitted Pari Passu Indebtedness that is fixed rate debt, if the All-In Yield for any such Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred is greater than the highest applicable All-in-Yield that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to Term Loans then outstanding (with such All-In Yield with respect to the then existing Term Loans calculated using (A) the higher of the Eurocurrency Rate at such time and the LIBOR Swap Equivalent Rate and (B) the margin and any OID or upfront fees consistent with the treatment thereof under the definition of “All-in-Yield”) plus 50 basis points then such yield for the then existing Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the yield is equal to such Incremental Equivalent Debt minus 50 basis points.

2.6 Extensions of Loans. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time after the Acquisition Effective Date, request an extension (each, an “Extension”) of the maturity date of any Class of Loans or Commitments to the extended maturity date specified in such notice. Such notice shall (i) set forth the amount of the applicable Class of Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loans that will be subject to the Extension (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000), (ii) set forth the date on which such Extension is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such Extension notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)) and (iii) identify the relevant Class of Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loans to which such Extension relates. Each Lender of the applicable Class shall be offered (an “Extension Offer”) an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender of such Class pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. If the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, subject to the Extension Offer as set forth in the Extension notice, then the Revolving Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, of Lenders of the applicable Class shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.

(b) The following shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (ii) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Extension (except (A) to the extent made as of a specific date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such specific date and (B) representations and warranties qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects), (iii) the Issuing Lenders shall have consented to any Extension of the Revolving

Commitments, to the extent that such Extension provides for the issuance or extension of Letters of Credit at any time during the extended period and (iv) the terms of such Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Term Loans shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(c) The terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment; provided that (i) the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Commitment shall be no earlier than the Revolving Termination Date and the final maturity date of the Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii)(A) there shall be no scheduled amortization of the loans or reductions of commitments under any Extended Revolving Commitments and (B) the average life to maturity of the Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining average life to maturity the existing Term Loans, (iii) the Extended Revolving Loans and the Extended Term Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the existing Revolving Loans and the existing Term Loans and the borrower and guarantors of the Extended Revolving Commitments or Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall be the same as the Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to the existing Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, (iv) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premium applicable to any Extended Revolving Commitment (and the Extended Revolving Loans thereunder) and Extended Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders, (v)(A) the Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or mandatory prepayments with the other Term Loans and (B) borrowing and prepayment of Extended Revolving Loans, or reductions of Extended Revolving Commitments, and participation in Letters of Credit, shall be on a pro rata basis with the other Revolving Commitments (other than upon the maturity of the non-extended Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments) and (vi) the terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments or Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall be substantially identical to the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above).

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extension. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension. Any Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, 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 Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Extension, including any amendments necessary to establish Extended Revolving Commitments or Extended Term Loans as a new Class or tranche of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Class or tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended Classes or tranches and to provide for the reallocation of Revolving Credit Exposure upon the expiration or termination of the commitments under any Class or tranche), in each case on terms consistent with this Section.

2.7 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

SECTION 3. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF REVOLVING COMMITMENTS

3.1 Revolving Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower in Agreed Currencies from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate

principal amount at any one time outstanding which, (i) when added to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding, subject to Sections 1.3 and 4.2(h), does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (ii) subject to Section 1.3 and 4.2(h), will not result in the Dollar Amount of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure and L/C Exposure, in each case denominated in Foreign Currencies, exceeding the Foreign Currency Sublimit. During the Revolving Availability Period the Borrower may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Loans may from time to time be Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 3.2 and 4.3. Subject to Section 3.15, each Revolving Loan shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith; provided that each ABR Loan shall only be made in Dollars. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions applicable to a Lender of Revolving Loans hereunder shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender); provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Revolving Termination Date, except to the extent extended by individual Lenders as to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

(c) In the event a mandatory prepayment of the Closing Date Term Loans is required to be made pursuant to Section 4.2(e), the Revolving Availability Period shall not commence and the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate.

3.2 Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Availability Period on any Business Day; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent its irrevocable notice (which notice, in the case of any Revolving Loans to be borrowed on the Acquisition Effective Date must be received in writing by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior to the Acquisition Effective Date), which may be given by (a) telephone or (b) a Committed Loan Notice; provided, that such notice may be contingent on the occurrence of a refinancing or the consummation of a sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets and may be revoked if the refinancing or sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets does not occur; provided further that any telephone notice must be confirmed promptly on the same date prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time such telephonic notice is given by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice. Such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent for any Revolving Loans requested to be made after the Acquisition Effective Date, prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans (four (4) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency), or (ii) prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans) (provided that any such notice of a borrowing of ABR Loans to finance payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.3 may be given not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed borrowing) and must specify (A) the amount and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (B) the requested Borrowing Date and (C) in the case of Eurocurrency Revolving Loans, the respective amounts of each Type of Loan, the Agreed Currency of each such Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor. Each borrowing under the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in a Dollar Amount equal to (A) in the case of ABR Loans, $10,000,000 or in increments of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $10,000,000, such lesser amount) and (B) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that borrowings of ABR Loans pursuant to Section 3.9 shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum amounts. Upon receipt of any such notice

from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

3.3 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for the period from and including the Acquisition Effective Date to the last day of the Revolving Availability Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily Dollar Amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

3.4 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. On or after the Acquisition Effective Date, the Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments; provided, further that such notice may be contingent on the occurrence of a refinancing or the consummation of a sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets and may be revoked or the termination date deferred if the refinancing or sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets does not occur. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000, or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect.

3.5 L/C Commitment. (a) On or after the Acquisition Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.8(a), agrees to issue standby letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) not to exceed the L/C Commitment for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Availability Period as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender, with the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (and, without duplication, any unpaid L/C Disbursement in respect thereof) reducing the Available Revolving Commitments on a Dollar-for-Dollar basis by the Dollar Amount thereof; provided that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount of such Issuing Lender’s Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero, (iii) the Dollar Amount of the L/C Obligations for any particular Issuing Lender would exceed the Issuing Lender Sublimit of such Issuing Lender; or (iv) subject to Section 1.3 and 4.2(d), such issuance would cause the Dollar Amount of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure and L/C Exposure, in each case denominated in Foreign Currencies, to exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in an Agreed Currency and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of its date of issuance (unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender) and (B) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for automatic renewals pursuant to Section 3.6(b). Each Letter of Credit shall be governed by laws of the State of New York (unless the laws of another jurisdiction are agreed to by the respective Issuing Lender). It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that each of the letters of credit described in Schedule 3.5 of the Disclosure Letter shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement on the Acquisition Effective Date and shall be deemed issued under this Agreement on the Acquisition Effective Date.

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if (i) such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Requirements of Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it and (iii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally. No Primary Issuing Lender shall be obligated to issue Letters of Credit in an aggregate face amount in excess at any time outstanding of the Primary Issuing Lender L/C Sublimit.

3.6 Procedure for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension of Letters of Credit; Certain Conditions. (a) On or after the Acquisition Effective Date, the Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the relevant Issuing Lender) to such Issuing Lender an Application requesting the issuance of the Letter of Credit and specifying the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day) and, as applicable, specifying the date of amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the Agreed Currency applicable thereto, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 3.5(a)(iii)), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information and documents, including any Issuer Documents, as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. Such Application shall be accompanied by documentary and other evidence of the proposed beneficiary’s identity as may reasonably be requested by such Issuing Lender to enable such Issuing Lender to verify the beneficiary’s identity or to comply with any applicable laws or regulations, including, without limitation, Section 326 of the Patriot Act. Provided such Issuing Lender has determined that the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of the requested Letter of Credit in favor of the identified beneficiary is in compliance with U.S. Treasury and U.S. Department of Commerce regulations and other applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control regulations), upon receipt of all required approvals, such Issuing Lender will issue, amend, renew or extend the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in such form as may be approved by such Issuing Lender, which shall have been approved by the Borrower, within (i) in the case of an issuance, five (5) Business Days of the date of the receipt of the Application and all related information and (ii) in the case of an amendment, renewal or extension, three (3) Business Days of the date of the receipt of the Application and all related information. Each Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. An Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance (or, amendment, extension or renewal, as applicable) of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof and the Agreed Currency applicable thereto) issued by such Issuing Lender.

(b) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Application, an Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by an Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Lender for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date; provided, however, that an Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (i) such Issuing Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 3.5(a) or (b) or otherwise), or (ii) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Lender not to permit such extension.

3.7 Fees and Other Charges; Role of Issuing Lender; Applicability of ISP and UCP. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee (the “L/C Fee”) in Dollars on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurocurrency Loans under the Revolving Facility on the Dollar Amount of such Letter of Credit, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee in Dollars of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired Dollar Amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender.

(c) Role of Issuing Lender. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any L/C Disbursement under a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Agent Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Lender 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 Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction); or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The 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 Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Agent

Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.10; provided, however, that anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an Issuing Lender, and an Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which were caused by such Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Lender’s willful 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 each case, as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an Issuing Lender 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, and an Issuing Lender 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. An Issuing Lender may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(d) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the relevant Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP or the UCP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue a commercial Letter of Credit hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Issuing Lender shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and such Issuing Lender’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Lender required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Lender or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

3.8 L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lenders to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lenders, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lenders’ obligations and rights (though, in the case of rights, subject to such L/C Participant’s satisfaction of its reimbursement obligation set forth in the following sentence) under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the Dollar Amount of each L/C Disbursement paid by the Issuing Lenders thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if an L/C Disbursement is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand of such Issuing Lender an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the Dollar Amount of such L/C Disbursement, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. The L/C Participants’ obligations to make such payment shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that any L/C Participant may have or have had against an Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person. The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward such Dollar Amount to such Issuing Lender.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.8(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender on demand an amount in Dollars equal to the product of (i) the Dollar Amount of such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.8(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of such Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, the Dollar Amount of such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility (or to the extent that such L/C Disbursement was made in a Foreign Currency, a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan in such Foreign Currency in an amount equal to the L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit). A certificate of an Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.8(a), the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall be required to be returned by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to it.

3.9 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. An Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower of the date and Dollar Amount of any L/C Disbursement under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees to reimburse such Issuing Lender in Dollars for the Dollar Amount of (a) such L/C Disbursement so paid (or if the Issuing Lender shall so elect in its sole discretion by notice to the Borrower, in such other Agreed Currency which was paid by the Issuing Lender pursuant to such L/C Disbursement in such Agreed Currency in an amount equal to the amount of such L/C Disbursement) and (b) any reasonable and documented fees, charges or other costs or expenses (other than taxes or similar amounts) incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment on the Business Day after the Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars (or if the Issuing Lender shall so elect in its sole discretion by notice to the Borrower, in such other Agreed Currency which was paid by the Issuing Lender pursuant to such L/C Disbursement in such Agreed Currency in an amount equal to the amount of such L/C Disbursement) and in immediately available funds. Each L/C Disbursement under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.1(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.8 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 3.2 of ABR Loans in the amount of such L/C Disbursement; provided that, if the amount of such L/C Disbursement is not less than the Dollar Amount of $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 3.2

or 1.5 that such payment be financed with (i) to the extent such L/C Disbursement was made in Dollars, an ABR Revolving Loan or Eurocurrency Revolving Loan in Dollars in an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement or (ii) to the extent that such L/C Disbursement was made in a Foreign Currency, a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan in such Foreign Currency in an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement, and, in each case, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Loan or Eurocurrency Revolving Loan, as applicable. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Loans could be made, pursuant to Section 3.2, if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from an Issuing Lender of such L/C Disbursement under such Letter of Credit. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each L/C Participant of the applicable amount drawn, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 3.2 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 3.2 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the L/C Participants), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the L/C Participants. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.9, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that L/C Participants have made payments pursuant to this Section 3.9 to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by an L/C Participant pursuant to this Section 3.9 to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any L/C Disbursement under a Letter of Credit (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such unreimbursed amount. If the Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Foreign Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, the Borrower shall, at its option, either (A) pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the relevant Revolving Lender or (B) reimburse each L/C Disbursement made in such Foreign Currency in Dollars, in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rates, on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, of such L/C Disbursement.

3.10 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under Section 3.9 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against an Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lenders that the Issuing Lenders and any Issuing Lender’s Agent Related Parties shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.9 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender or any Agent Related Party of any Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or its Agent Related Parties, as applicable. The parties hereto agree that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender or its Agent Related Parties under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of their respective gross negligence or willful misconduct (as

determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction), shall be binding on the Borrower and the parties hereto and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender or its Agent Related Parties to the Borrower.

3.11 Letter of Credit Payments. If any L/C Disbursement is made under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date of payment and amount paid by such Issuing Lender in respect thereof. The responsibility of an Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any L/C Disbursement under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, and subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Section 3.7(c) and 3.10 hereof, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.12 Applications; Issuer Documents. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

3.13 Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any disbursement under a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such disbursement in full on the date such disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans (or in the case such disbursement is denominated in a Foreign Currency, at the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate for such Agreed Currency plus the then effective Applicable Margin with respect to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans); provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such disbursement when due pursuant to Section 3.9, then Section 4.5(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 3.13 shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.9 to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such L/C Participant to the extent of such payment.

3.14 Replacement of Issuing Lender. An Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.7. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (a) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (b) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

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

(i) Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the final paragraph of Section 11.1.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 9 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.7 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 such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 3.15(b); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a Deposit Account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 3.15(b); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (B) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 3.15(a)(iv). 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 3.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such Commitment Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(iv) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.15(b); provided that with respect to any L/C Fee not required to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.15(a)(iv), the Borrower shall (A) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such L/C Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (v) below, (B) pay to each Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (C) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(v) All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 11.18, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(vi) If the reallocation described in clause (v) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within two (2) Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.15(b).

(b) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within three (3) Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 3.15(a)(v) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(i) The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. 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 and the Issuing Lenders as herein provided (other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 8.3), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower 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 (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 3.15(b) in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(iii) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.15(b) following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral.

(c) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to 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 determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 3.15(a)(v)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(d) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

3.16 Incremental Revolving Commitments.

(a) Borrower Request. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time after the Acquisition Effective Date by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request an increase to the existing Revolving Commitments (each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) in an aggregate principal amount when combined with the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments under Section 2.4 and all Incremental Equivalent Debt under Section 2.5 and any other Incremental Revolving Commitment, not in excess of the Available Incremental Amount. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, a “Revolving Commitment Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such earlier date as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion) and (ii) the identity of each Person (which, if not a Lender, an Approved Fund or an Affiliate of a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Revolving Commitment be allocated and the amounts of such allocations.

(b) Conditions. The Incremental Revolving Commitment shall become effective as of such Revolving Commitment Increase Effective Date; provided that:

(i) the condition set forth in Section 6.2(c) shall be satisfied (except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Increase Revolving Joinder);

(ii) Each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date (except (A) to the extent made as of a specific date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such specific date and (B) representations and warranties qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects); provided that, if the primary purpose of such Incremental Revolving Commitment is to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition permitted under Section 8.7 with the consent of only the Revolving Lenders, then the foregoing shall be limited to the Specified Representations (other than Section 5.19 with respect to the target in such Permitted Acquisition and its subsidiaries);

(iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the borrowings to be made on the Revolving Commitment Increase Effective Date (except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Increase Revolving Joinder); provided that, if the primary purpose of such Incremental Revolving Commitment is to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition permitted under Section 8.7, with the consent of only the Revolving Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment, the foregoing shall at the Borrower’s election instead be tested at the time of the execution of the relevant definitive acquisition agreement; and

(iv) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered a duly executed Increase Revolving Joinder and any customary legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(c) Terms of Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Loans made pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Loans”) shall be part of the existing tranche of Revolving Loans and such terms and provisions shall be on the same terms and subject to the same documentation applicable to the existing Revolving Facility.

Incremental Revolving Loans may be provided by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender shall have an obligation to make any Incremental Revolving Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitment) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders; provided that the consent of the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Lender (in each case not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required with respect to any additional Lender to the same extent such consent would for an assignment of an existing Loan to such Lender pursuant to Section 11.6(b). The Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Revolving Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such Incremental Revolving Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each

of them. Incremental Revolving Loans may be used for the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ general corporate purposes, including any transaction not prohibited under this Agreement. The Increase Revolving Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 3.16. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in the Loan Documents to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Revolving Commitments and Incremental Revolving Loans that are made pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments established pursuant to this Section 3.16 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, if secured, in any case, shall benefit equally and ratably from security interests created by the Security Documents and the guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such Class of Incremental Revolving Loans or any such Incremental Revolving Commitments.

SECTION 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

4.1 Optional Prepayments. (a) On or after the Acquisition Effective Date, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than in connection with a Repricing Event), upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans and if such payment is to be applied to prepay the Term Loans; provided that (x) if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.11 and (y) that such notice may be contingent on the occurrence of a refinancing or the consummation of a sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets and may be revoked or the termination date deferred if the refinancing or sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets does not occur. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid and any premium applicable thereto under Section 4.1(b). Partial prepayments of Loans shall be in an aggregate principal Dollar Amount of $10,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Voluntary prepayments shall be applied to Term Loans in accordance with Section 4.8 hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that, on or prior to the date which is twelve months after the Acquisition Effective Date (i) a Repricing Event occurs, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the applicable Term Lenders, a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Closing Date Term Loans prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced pursuant to such Repricing Event and (ii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender in respect of an amendment to the Loan Documents that would reduce the All-in Yield applicable to Term Loans and such Lender’s Term Loans are assigned pursuant to the Non-Consenting Lender provisions of Section 11.1, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender for its own account a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Closing Date Term Loans so assigned. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Event or assignment, as applicable.

4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If any Indebtedness shall be incurred or issued by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Acquisition Effective Date (other than Excluded Indebtedness but including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Replacement Facility), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied promptly upon such incurrence or issuance toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(f).

(b) If on any date after the Acquisition Effective Date the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five (5) Business Days of such date toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(f); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(f).

(c) The Borrower shall, on each Excess Cash Flow Application Date commencing with the Excess Cash Flow Application Date applicable to the fiscal year of the Borrower ending December 31, 2016, apply the ECF Percentage of the excess, if any, of (i) Excess Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Flow Payment Period minus (ii) voluntary prepayments of the Loans (including the Term Loans but excluding prepayments of the Revolving Facility to the extent there is not an equivalent permanent reduction in commitments thereunder) and Dutch Auction purchases of Term Loans pursuant to Section 11.6(j) to the extent of cash payments by the Borrower in connection therewith, in each case made with Internally Generated Cash during such Excess Cash Flow Payment Period toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(f); provided that with respect to the fiscal year period ending on December 31, 2016, (i) such calculation of Excess Cash Flow shall be pro rated to reflect the portion of Excess Cash Flow attributable to the period commencing on the Acquisition Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2016 and (ii) notwithstanding any such calculation hereunder, the aggregate amount of any mandatory prepayment under this Section 4.2(c) with respect to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 shall not exceed $75,000,000. Except as provided below, each such prepayment and commitment reduction shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than ten (10) days after the date on which the financial statements referred to in Section 7.1(a) for the fiscal year of the Borrower with respect to which such prepayment is made are required to be delivered to the Lenders.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will not be required to prepay the Loans pursuant to clause (b) with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event or pursuant to clause (c) with respect to any Excess Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Flow Payment Period, in each case attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary to the extent (i) the repatriation of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is prohibited by applicable local law from being repatriated so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit such repatriation (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonably efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation) or (ii) the repatriation of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow from such Foreign Subsidiary would result in material adverse consequence with respect to Taxes, fees or similar impositions of Governmental Authorities (including any actual cash Tax liability of more than $10,000,000 owed to any Governmental Authorities that would be incurred in connection with such mandatory prepayment provisions, as determined after utilizing any of the Borrower’s available net operating losses or other available Tax attributes); provided that in the event the Borrower is required to make a payment of Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary, such payment shall be made as soon as practicable based on applicable legal, regulatory or commercial restraints after the Borrower becomes aware that such repatriation would not be prohibited by applicable local law or result in material adverse consequences with respect to Taxes, fees or similar impositions of Governmental Authorities.

(e) In the event that the Collateral Agent delivers written notice to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 3(d) of the Escrow Agreement, the Closing Date Term Loans, all accrued interest thereon and all other Obligations with respect thereto shall be immediately due and payable, and the Administrative Agent shall apply all proceeds received from the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 4.2 and Section 4.8; provided that if the amount of the Escrow Property is less than the amount required to prepay the Closing Date Term Loans, all accrued interest thereon and all other Obligations with respect thereto in full on such date, the Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent, on the date of such prepayment, an amount equal to such deficiency.

(f) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to Section 4.2 (a)-(e) shall be applied, without premium or penalty (other than in connection with a Repricing Event) first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 4.8 and, second, to prepay the Revolving Loans without any permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments, in each case on a pro rata basis. The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurocurrency Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 4.2 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid, and any premium applicable thereto under Section 4.1(b); provided, further, that if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.11.

(g) Each Term Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile transmission or PDF attachment to an e-mail) at least one Business Day prior to the required prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 4.2(a)-(e) of its Loans (such declined prepayment amounts, “Declined Prepayments”) other than any prepayment from the proceeds of any Replacement Facility, in which case (i) such Declined Prepayments shall be applied pro rata to all Term Loans of each Term Lender that did not elect to decline such prepayment, and (ii) to the extent of any excess, such Declined Prepayments shall be retained by the Borrower.

(h) If at any time, (i) other than as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, (A) the sum of the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of all of the Revolving Credit Exposures (calculated, with respect to those Revolving Extensions of Credit denominated in Foreign Currencies, as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Revolving Extension of Credit) exceeds the Total Revolving Commitments or (B) the sum of the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of all of the outstanding L/C Exposures and Revolving Credit Exposures denominated in Foreign Currencies (the “Foreign Currency Exposure”) (so calculated), as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Revolving Extension of Credit exceeds the Foreign Currency Sublimit or (ii) solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, (A) the sum of the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of all of the Revolving Extensions of Credit (so calculated) exceeds 105% of the Total Revolving Commitments or (B) the Foreign Currency Exposure, as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Revolving Extension of Credit, exceeds 105% of the Foreign Currency Sublimit, the Borrower shall in each case immediately repay Revolving Loans or deposit an amount in cash in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause (x) the aggregate Dollar Amount of all Revolving Extensions of Credit (so calculated) to be less than or equal to the Total Revolving Commitments and (y) the Foreign Currency Exposure to be less than or equal to the Foreign Currency Sublimit, as applicable, provided that, in the case of prepayments of Revolving Loans, if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans then

outstanding is less than the amount of such excess (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in cash in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

4.3 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Committed Loan Notice no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date; provided that any telephone notice must be confirmed promptly on the same date prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time such telephonic notice is given by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice; provided further that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Committed Loan Notice (provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice) no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1 and, prior to the Acquisition Effective Date, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.3(b), of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no Eurocurrency Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations; and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, (i) in the case of any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, such Loans shall be converted to ABR Loans and (ii) in the case of any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency in respect of which the Borrower shall have failed to deliver any required notice election prior to the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the end of such Interest Period, such Eurocurrency Loans shall automatically continue as Eurocurrency Loans in the same currency with an Interest Period of one month unless such Eurocurrency Loans are or were repaid in accordance with Section 4.1. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) on the Closing Date, the initial Closing Date Term Loans shall be Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one week, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that the Initial Closing Date Term Loans be continued for one additional one week Interest Period thereafter, and (ii) for the period from May 2, 2016 until the Acquisition Effective Date, each Interest Period shall be for a period of one month; it being acknowledged and agreed that the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that the initial Closing Date Term Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one month commencing on May 2, 2016.

4.4 Limitations on Eurocurrency Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurocurrency Loans hereunder and

all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Tranche shall be equal to a Dollar Amount in the amount of $10,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than 10 Eurocurrency Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

4.5 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Overdue principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations, commitment fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payments of overdue principal of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% per annum and (ii) in the case of any other overdue amounts under the Loan Documents, the non-default rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the applicable Facility plus 2% per annum.

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

(e) 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 Borrower. 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 Obligations hereunder.

4.6 Computation of Interest and Fees; Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent; Obligations of Lenders Several. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of Alternate Base Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or the Statutory Reserve Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, promptly deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.6(a).

(c) 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 Section 4, and such funds are not deposited into the Escrow Account in the case of the Closing Date Term Loans or made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent in the case of all other Loans because the conditions to the applicable extension of credit set forth in Section 6 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, without interest.

(d) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.7 and 10.12 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.7 or 10.12 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, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.7 or 10.12.

4.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

(a) If at the time that the Administrative Agent shall seek to determine the LIBOR Screen Rate on the Quotation Day for any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Loan the LIBOR Screen Rate shall not be available for such Interest Period and/or for the applicable currency with respect to such Eurocurrency Loan for any reason, and the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine that it is not possible to determine the Interpolated Rate (which conclusion shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), then the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan shall be the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent to be the rate at which it could borrow funds in Dollars (or, in respect of Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, such Agreed Currency) for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period in same day funds in the approximate amount of the Eurocurrency Loan being made, continued or converted and with a term equivalent to such Interest Period would be offered by Deutsche Bank AG London Branch in the London interbank Eurocurrency market; provided that if such rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero; provided further that if no such rate is available to the Administrative Agent, (i) if such Loan shall be requested in Dollars, then such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Loan at the Alternate Base Rate and (ii) if such Loan shall be requested in any Foreign Currency, the LIBO Rate shall be equal to the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion after consultation with the Borrower and consented to in writing by the Required Lenders (the “Alternative Rate”); provided, however, that until such time as the Alternative Rate shall be determined and so consented to by the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to the Revolving Facility, Loans shall not be available in such Foreign Currency.

(b) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for a Loan in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Facility Lenders of any Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for a Loan in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Loan for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Committed Loan Notice that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Eurocurrency Loan in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be ineffective, (ii) if any Committed Loan Notice requests a Eurocurrency Loan in Dollars, such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan and (iii) if any Committed Loan Notice requests a Eurocurrency Loan in a Foreign Currency, then the LIBO Rate for such Eurocurrency Loan shall be the Alternative Rate; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Loans, then the other Type of Loans shall be permitted.

4.8 Pro Rata Treatment; Application of Payments; Payments. (a) Except as set forth in Section 4.13, each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Percentage or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 4.13, each payment (including each voluntary or mandatory prepayment) on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata between each tranche of Term Loans according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans of such tranche in direct order of maturity. Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.

(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. All such payments shall be made (i) in the same currency in which the applicable extension of credit was made (or where such currency has been converted to euro, in euro) and (ii) to the Administrative Agent at its Funding Office, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 4.10, 4.11 and 11.5 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments denominated in the same currency received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.8, if, after the

making of any Revolving Extension of Credit in any Foreign Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Revolving Extension of Credit was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrower takes all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Eurocurrency Revolving Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency). A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 4.8 shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require or permit differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

4.9 Requirements of Law. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Increased costs because of a Change in Law resulting from the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III may only be requested by a Lender imposing such increased costs on borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower under syndicated credit facilities comparable to those provided hereunder.

4.10 Taxes. (a) For purposes of this Section 4.10, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

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

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

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

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.10, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) (i) Any Lender (including solely for purposes of this subparagraph (i) and Section 4.10(i) each Agent) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.10(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

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

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits,” “other income” or other article of such tax treaty;

(2)

properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI

(3)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c)

of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or

(4)

to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), properly completed and duly executed copies of any other form or document prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

(h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.10 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.10), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party related to such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered pursuant to Section 4.10(g) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to Section 4.10(g) or this paragraph (i) that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(j) Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

4.11 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of, or a conversion from, Eurocurrency Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (d) any other default by the Borrower in the repayment of such Eurocurrency Loans when and as required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Such indemnification may include an amount (other than with respect to clause (d)) equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurocurrency market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. This Section 4.11 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Tax that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

4.12 Change of Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.9, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.10, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

4.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.9, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.10 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 4.12, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, (i) prepay such Lender’s outstanding Term Loans in full on a non-pro rata basis without premium or penalty (other than any premium applicable under Section 4.1(b)), or (ii) at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.6) all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.9 or Section 4.10) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that, in the case of an assignment:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.6;

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.1(b), if applicable, and Section 4.11) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees and premiums) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.9 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.10, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(e) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

4.14 Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower (or, in the case of an assignment not required to be recorded in the Register in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(d), the assigning Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower), shall maintain the Register (or, in the case of an assignment not required to be recorded in the Register in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(d), a Related Party Register), in each case pursuant to Section 11.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time.

(c) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit E-1 or E-2, respectively, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount.

4.15 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans, continue Eurocurrency Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 4.11.

Except as permitted under Section 8.4, the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, (d) is in compliance with the terms of its

5.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational and other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. With respect to the Transactions to be consummated on the Closing Date, no consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with such Transactions or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (a) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 5.4(a) of the Disclosure Letter, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been, or will be, obtained or made and are in full force and effect on or before the Closing Date, and all applicable waiting periods shall have expired, in each case without any action being taken by any Governmental Authority that would restrain, prevent or otherwise impose adverse conditions on such Transactions, other than any such consent, authorizations, filings and notices the absence of which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) the filings referred to in Section 5.19 with respect to the Loan Parties on the Closing Date. With respect to the Transactions to be consummated on the Acquisition Effective Date, no consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with such Transactions or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (a) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 5.4(b) of the Disclosure Letter, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been, or will be, obtained or made and are in full force and effect on or before the Acquisition Effective Date, and all applicable waiting periods shall have expired, in each case without any action being taken by any Governmental Authority that would restrain, prevent or otherwise impose adverse conditions on such Transactions, other than any such consent, authorizations, filings and notices the absence of which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) the filings referred to in Section 5.19 with respect to the Target and its Subsidiaries that become Loan Parties. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto on the date thereof. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

5.5 No Legal Bar.

122

Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (B) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account subject to the security interest granted in favor of the Lenders opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the 105% of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Financial Covenant Event of Default that is unwaived, the Majority Facility Lenders under the Revolving Facility may, immediately upon such breach (i) declare that such breach constitutes an Event of Default for Section 6.2 and (ii) either (A) terminate the Revolving Commitments and/or (B) take the actions specified in Section 9.3(a) in respect of the Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Loans and the L/C Obligations. In respect of a Financial Covenant Event of Default that is continuing, the Majority Facility Lenders under each Term Facility may declare the Term Loans thereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable on the date that the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving Facility terminate the Revolving Commitments or accelerate all Obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility; provided however, that the Majority Facility Lenders under each Term Facility may not take such actions as a result of a Financial Covenant Event of Default if either (1) all Obligations under the Revolving Facility have been repaid in full (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations) and the Revolving Commitments have been terminated or (2) no actions have been taken to terminate the Revolving Commitments or accelerate the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility and the Financial Covenant Event of Default has been waived by the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving Facility.

Upon actual receipt by the Administrative Agent of the amount specified in the Collateral Agent Payment Default Notice, the Event of Default under Section 9.1(c) shall be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of the Loan Documents,

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.2 and 11.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment;

(e) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any

124

Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent; and

(f) shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions.

10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Secured Parties.

10.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender or any other Secured Party. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any

125

Specified Cash Management Agreement. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, 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, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any other Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

10.7 Indemnification. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 11.5 to be paid by it to any Agent Related Party (or any sub-agent thereof), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent Related Party (or any such sub-agent thereof) such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that (a) the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against any Agent Related Party (or any such sub-agent thereof) and (b) no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense to the extent it has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (i) such Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct, (ii) a material breach of the obligations of such Agent under the Loan Documents or (iii) any proceeding between and among Agent Related Parties that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (other than claims against the Administrative Agent or a Lead Arranger in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the agent or arranger or any other similar role under the Facilities (excluding its role as a Lender). The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender”, “Lenders”, “Secured Party” and “Secured Parties” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

10.9 Successor Administrative Agent; Resignation of Issuing Lender. (a) The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, respectively, upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders (which such successor agent shall be (i) a Lender or (ii) otherwise satisfactory to the Required Lenders), which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative

126

Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has been appointed and accepted appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the date that is ten (10) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, their respective sub-agents and their respective Agent Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the Required Lenders determine that the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the final paragraph of Section 11.1) may by notice to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a replacement Administrative Agent hereunder. Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the earlier of (i) the date a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) the date ten (10) Business Days after the giving of such notice by the Required Lenders (regardless of whether a replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed).

(c) In addition to the foregoing, if (i) a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, any Issuing Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, resign as Issuing Lender, effective at the close of business New York time on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice) or (ii) DBNY resigns or is removed as Administrative Agent, such resignation or removal shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Lender; provided that such resignation by such Issuing Lender will have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then outstanding or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to such Issuing Lender and such Issuing Lender shall continue to be an Issuing Lender for the purposes of this Agreement in respect of such Letters of Credit.

10.10 Agents Generally. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their capacity as such.

10.11 Lender Action. Each Secured Party agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents, the Specified Hedge Agreements or the Specified Cash Management Agreements (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceeds, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

10.12 Withholding Taxes. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 4.10, each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within ten (10) days

127

after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of any 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 amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.12. The agreements in this Section 10.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

10.13 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, 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 Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.7, 3.3, 3.7 and 11.5 or otherwise) 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, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Lenders to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.7, 3.3, 3.7 and 11.5 or otherwise.

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

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of

128

the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Capital Stock or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (i) to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Capital Stock thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 11.1 of this Agreement, (iii) to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Secured Parties, as a result of which each of the Secured Parties shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Capital Stock and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and, to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the Capital Stock and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Acquisition Effective Date, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Borrower and the Lenders or other Persons providing the relevant Replacement Facility (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all or any portion of (i) the outstanding Term Loans (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with (A) a replacement term loan tranche under this Agreement (“Refinancing Term Loans”), which may be pari passu in right of payment and security with the Loans under this Agreement or, subject to Section 8.2(p), may be incurred in the form of Junior Indebtedness of the Borrower, or (B) one or more series of senior notes (“Refinancing Notes”), which Refinancing Notes may be in the form of Permitted Pari Passu Indebtedness or in the form of Second Lien Indebtedness or unsecured Indebtedness that, in each case constitutes Junior Indebtedness of the

131

Borrower or (ii) the outstanding Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments (such refinanced Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, the “Refinanced Revolving Facility” and, together with any Refinanced Term Loans, Refinancing Notes, each a “Refinanced Facility” and, collectively, the “Refinanced Facilities”) with Refinancing Term Loans or a replacement revolving loan tranche of the Borrower (such replacement revolving loan tranche, “Refinancing Revolving Facility” and, together with any Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Notes, each a “Replacement Facility” and, collectively, the “Replacement Facilities”); provided that (A) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Facilities shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Facilities plus accrued interest, premiums, fees and expenses related thereto, (B) the maturity date for such Replacement Facilities shall not be earlier than the maturity date for the corresponding Refinanced Facilities, (C) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Facilities shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Facilities at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of any applicable Term Loans) (D) such Replacement Facility shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than the Loan Parties and shall not be secured by any property other than the Collateral, (E) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Facilities (other than pricing (including interest, fees and premiums) and optional prepayment or redemption terms which may be agreed to by the Borrower and Lenders party thereto) shall be substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) not materially more favorable to the Lenders or other Persons providing such Replacement Facility than, those applicable to the applicable Refinanced Facility, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing or replacement, (F) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Facility, the Loan Documents shall include certain provisions to govern the pro rata payment, borrowing, participation and commitment reductions of the Revolving Facility and any such Refinancing Revolving Facility, (G) only a Refinancing Term Facility that is pari passu in right of payment and security with the Term Loans shall share ratably in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Refinanced Term Loans unless the Borrower and the Lenders in respect of such Refinancing Term Facility elect lesser payments, and (H) any Refinanced Facility or issue of Refinancing Notes that is secured on a pari passu or junior basis with respect to the Facilities shall be subject to a customary Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Lenders (including all Lenders under a single Facility), the consent of the Required Lenders (or Majority Facility Lenders, as the case may be) is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then a Person reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have the right but not the obligation to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon the Borrower’s request, sell and assign to such Person, all of the Term Loans and Revolving Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Term Loans and any outstanding Revolving Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale and any applicable prepayment premiums payable pursuant to Section 4.1(b), such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Assumption. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower may replace any Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 4.13.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated), modified or supplemented with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or Issuing Lender, (b) to add one or more additional credit facilities with respect to Incremental Term

132

Loans to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans, as applicable, and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (c) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders; provided that the conditions set forth in Section 2.4 are satisfied.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definitions of “Required Lenders” and “Majority Facility Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided that, subject to the limitations set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 11.1, any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lender, disproportionately affect such Defaulting Lender as compared to other Lenders holding the same Class of Loans, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

In addition, the Borrower agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Agents in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) the Administrative Agent and/or the Lead Arrangers will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on the Platform and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (A) 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; (B) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, each Issuing Lender 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 Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute information covered by Section 11.15, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 11.15); (C) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (D) the Administrative Agent and the Lead 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.”

(c) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM.

134

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

11.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents 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 are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) below, subject to acceptance and recording thereof in the Register pursuant to paragraph (d) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of

138

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 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 11.5); provided that such Lender continues to comply with the requirements of Section 4.10(g). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6 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 and subject to the requirements of paragraph (e) of this Section.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.6 to the contrary, but subject to recording thereof in the applicable Related-Party Register pursuant to paragraph (d) below, a Lender may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender without (i) providing any notice (including, without limitation, any administrative questionnaire) to the Administrative Agent or any other Person or (ii) delivering an executed Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent; provided that (A) such assigning Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (B) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender in connection with such assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement until an Assignment and Assumption and an administrative questionnaire have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, (C) the failure of such assigning Lender to deliver an Assignment and Assumption or administrative questionnaire to the Administrative Agent or any other Person shall not affect the legality, validity or binding effect of such assignment and (D) an Assignment and Assumption between an assigning Lender and its Affiliate or Approved Fund shall be effective as of the date specified in such Assignment and Assumption.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Funding Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund pursuant to paragraph (c), as to which an Assignment and Assumption and an administrative questionnaire are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register (a “Related Party Register”) comparable to the Register on behalf of the Borrower. The Register or Related Party Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Lenders and any Lender at the Administrative Agent’s office at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) above, upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the Register (or, in the case of an assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) above, the applicable Related Party Register) as provided in this paragraph (d). The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.”

139

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the 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, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) no participation shall be permitted to be made to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any officer or director of any such Person and (v) no sale of a participation shall be effective until and unless recorded in the selling Lender’s Participant Register. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Each Lender that sells participations to a Participant, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amount of and interest owing with respect to the participation sold to each such Participant (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Section 1.871-14(c)(1) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in such Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(g) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.9 or 4.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant had no such participation been transferred to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Any Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.10 unless such Participant complies with Section 4.10(g) and (i) as if it were a Lender.

(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other Person, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest or to any such sale or securitization; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

140

(i) [Reserved].

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Term Lender may, at any time after the Acquisition Effective Date, assign all or a portion of its Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis to the Borrower in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit J, pursuant to an offer at a discount to par made available to all Term Lenders on a pro rata basis (a “Dutch Auction”), subject to the following limitations:

(i) The Borrower shall represent and warrant, as of the date of the launch of the Dutch Auction and on the date of any such assignment, that neither it, its Affiliates nor any of its respective directors or officers has any Excluded Information that has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than to the extent any such Term Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities) prior to such date;

(ii) immediately and automatically, without any further action on the part of the Borrower, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, upon the effectiveness of such assignment of Term Loans from a Term Lender to the Borrower, such Term Loans and all rights and obligations as a Term Lender related thereto shall, for all purposes under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise, be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect and the Borrower shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Term Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such assignment;

(iii) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loans or Incremental Term Loans for any such assignment; and

(iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing before or immediately after giving effect to such assignment.

(k) With respect to any proposed assignment or participation for a Disqualified Institution:

(i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade 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 Borrower 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 for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender. Any assignment in violation of this clause (k)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (k) shall apply.

141

(ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Revolving Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions, purchase or prepay such Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 11.6), 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.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) 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 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.

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same and/or (C) upon request by and Lender, confirm whether or not any potential assignee is listed on the DQ List.

11.7 Sharing of Payments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 9, receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9.1(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such

142

collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation to the extent provided in clause (b) of this Section 11.7.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, subject to Section 10.11, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which is continuing, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 11.7 shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require or permit differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

11.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic mail (in “.pdf” or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

11.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

11.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction.

11.13 Acknowledgments. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) no Agent or Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Agents and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor;

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders; and

11.15 Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as confidential in accordance with its customary procedures for handling its own confidential information; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to any Agent, any other Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Hedge Agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its employees, officers, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants, trustees and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates (collectively, its “Related Parties”), (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority or any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed (other than as a result of a disclosure in violation of this Section 11.15), (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (j) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Facilities or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers of other market identifiers with respect to the Facilities or (k) to any other party hereto; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information.

11.16 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL.

145

11.18 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

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

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

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

11.19 Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “Specified Currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the Specified Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the Specified Currency with such other currency. If the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the Specified Currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such

146

Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the Specified Currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 4.8, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.

11.20 Intercreditor Agreements.

(a) EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS MAY BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL (OR ANY PORTION THEREOF) IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER’S INCURRENCE OF ANY REFINANCED FACILITY, REFINANCING NOTES, REPLACEMENT FACILITY, PERMITTED PARI PASSU INDEBTEDNESS OR SECOND LIEN INDEBTEDNESS PERMITTED HEREUNDER, WHICH LIENS, IN EACH CASE, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. THE EXPRESS TERMS OF ANY SUCH INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL PROVIDE THAT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF SUCH INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, ON THE ONE HAND, AND ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) EACH LENDER AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ENTER INTO ANY SUCH INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE AMENDMENTS THERETO AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT.

SECTION 12. Applicability of Covenants; Enforcement

(a) From the Closing Date until the Acquisition Effective Date, the only covenants applicable to the Borrower under Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement shall be the following: Section 7.4 (as it relates to the Borrower’s legal existence), Section 7.9 and Section 7.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries take any action or inaction, during the period from the Closing Date until the Acquisition Effective Date, that is prohibited from being taken by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries by Section 7 or Section 8, and such action or inaction is continuing as of the Acquisition Effective Date, an Event of Default shall be deemed to exist immediately after giving effect to and as of the Acquisition Effective Date; provided that (i) no action or inaction taken or omitted by the Target or any of its subsidiaries at any time prior to the Acquisition Effective Date (other than an action or inaction that would require or permit the Borrower to terminate the Acquisition Agreement or decline to consummate the Acquisition) shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or shall otherwise constitute an Event of Default and (ii) for purposes of determining retroactive compliance with the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 under this Section 12, the terms “Restricted Subsidiary,” “Loan Party,” “Subsidiary Guarantor” and other terms that are defined with reference to a Person signing a Loan Document, shall, on and immediately after giving effect to the Acquisition Effective Date, include the Borrower’s Subsidiaries to the extent any such Subsidiary is, immediately after giving effect to the Acquisition Effective Date, a Restricted Subsidiary, Loan Party, Subsidiary Guarantor or similar applicable designation. In addition, the absence of an Event of Default shall not be an Escrow Condition that must be satisfied or waived in order for the Escrow Property to be released from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 6.2 of this Agreement or Section 3(b) of the Escrow Agreement.

(b) The Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it will not deliver any entitlement order or instruction to the Escrow Agent other than (1) on or after the Escrow Conditions Deadline if the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 have not been satisfied on or prior to such date or (2) at any time an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.1(c) shall have occurred and be continuing.

PRICING GRID FOR

REVOLVING LOANS


Pricing Level	Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans			Applicable Margin for ABR Loans			Commitment Fee Rate
I		4.00	%		3.00	%		0.35	%
II		3.75	%		2.75	%		0.30	%
III		3.50	%		2.50	%		0.25	%

So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans and the Commitment Fee Rate shall be adjusted, on and after the first Adjustment Date (as defined below) occurring after the completion of the first full fiscal quarter of the Borrower to occur six months after the Closing Date, based on changes in the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, with such adjustments to become effective on the date (the “Adjustment Date”) that is three (3) Business Days after the date on which the relevant financial statements are delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.1 and to remain in effect until the next adjustment to be effected pursuant to this paragraph. If any financial statements referred to above are not delivered within the time periods specified in Section 7.1, then, until the date that is three (3) Business Days after the date on which such financial statements are delivered, the highest rate set forth in each column of the Pricing Grid shall apply. On each Adjustment Date, the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans and the Commitment Fee Rate shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Margins opposite the Pricing Level determined to exist on such Adjustment Date from the financial statements relating to such Adjustment Date.

As used herein, the following rules shall govern the determination of Pricing Levels on each Adjustment Date:

“Pricing Level I” shall exist on an Adjustment Date if the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio for the relevant period is greater than 2.75 to 1.00.

“Pricing Level II” shall exist on an Adjustment Date if the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio for the relevant period is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00 but greater than 2.00 to 1.00.

“Pricing Level III” shall exist on an Adjustment Date if the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio for the relevant period is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00.
