In the event that any Borrowing Base Certificate (and related information) is not provided to the Agent in accordance with Section 5.01(d), the Applicable Margin for each Type of Loan shall be set at the Applicable Margin for such Type of Loan set forth in Tier I above as of the 20^th day of the fiscal quarter of the Administrative Borrower following the month in respect of which such Borrowing Base Certificate was required to be so delivered and shall continue at Tier I until the earlier of (A) the delivery to the Agent of the required Borrowing Base Certificate (from and after which time the Applicable Margin shall be calculated based on the respective Quarterly Average Undrawn Availability until the Applicable Margin is recalculated in accordance with this definition) and (B) the next Adjustment Date, if any (at which time the Applicable Margin shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of this definition).

In the event that at any time after the end of a fiscal quarter of the Administrative Borrower, the Quarterly Average Undrawn Availability for such fiscal quarter used for the determination of the Applicable Margin is determined to have been less than the actual amount of the Quarterly Average Undrawn Availability for such fiscal quarter based on an error in the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate, the Applicable Margin for such prior fiscal quarter shall be adjusted automatically and retroactively to the applicable percentage based on such actual Quarterly Average Undrawn Availability and any additional interest for the applicable period as a result of such recalculation (“Additional Amounts”) shall be promptly paid by the Borrowers to the Agent (and in any event, within five Business Days following delivery by the Agent to the Administrative Borrower of a notice (which shall be conclusive absent manifest error) setting forth in reasonable detail the Agent’s calculation of the amount of any Additional Amounts). In the event that the Quarterly Average Undrawn Availability for such fiscal quarter used for the determination of the Applicable Margin is determined to have been greater than the actual amount of the Quarterly Average Undrawn Availability based on an error in the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate, the Applicable Margin for such prior fiscal quarter shall be adjusted to the applicable percentage based on such actual Quarterly Average Undrawn Availability and any reduction in interest for the applicable period as a result of such recalculation shall be credited against the next interest payment on the Loans by the applicable Borrowers. The payment of Additional Amounts shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.06(c). Additional Amounts shall constitute “Obligations” and the agreement to pay Additional Amounts shall survive the repayment of the Obligation and the termination of the Commitments.

Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers (on a joint and several basis), at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date until the earlier of the Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, (x) in no event shall the Total Revolving Exposure at any time exceed the Total Availability at such time and (y) no more than $40,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans shall be permitted to be made on the Closing Date. Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

Section 2.02 Loans. (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Revolving Commitments; provided, that, the failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Revolving Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.17(e), any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Revolving Commitments.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.10 and 2.11, each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Administrative Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Revolving Loan; provided, that, any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Lender to make such Revolving Loan or the Borrowers to repay such Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, that, the Administrative Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than eight Eurodollar Borrowings in the aggregate outstanding hereunder at any one time (or such greater number of Eurodollar Borrowings as may be acceptable to the Agent in its sole discretion). For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Except with respect to Revolving Loans made pursuant to Section 2.17(e), each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in the United States as the Agent may designate from time to time not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, and the Agent shall promptly credit or remit the amounts so received to an account in the United States as directed by the Administrative Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, promptly return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with clause (c) above, and the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If the Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Agent, each of such Lender and the Borrowers (on a joint and several basis) severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the greater of the interest rate applicable at the time to ABR Loans and the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender shall subsequently repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrowers’ obligation to repay the Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) shall cease and any amounts previously so repaid by the Borrowers shall be returned to the Borrowers.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

Section 2.03 Borrowing Procedure. (a) To request a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery, email through a “pdf” copy or telecopier, or facsimile transmission (or transmit by other electronic transmission if arrangements for doing so have been approved in writing by the Agent), a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Agent (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request for a Revolving Loan shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02(a);

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”;

(v) the location and number of the respective Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02(c); and

(vi) that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(b)—(d) are satisfied as of the date of the notice.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. Additionally, any amount required to be paid as interest, fees, charges, costs and expenses payable or reimbursable by any Borrower hereunder, or other Obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, at the election of the Agent and upon notice to the Administrative Borrower, shall be deemed a request by the Borrowers for an ABR Borrowing as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full or in part such interest, fee, charge or other Obligation under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (notwithstanding such amount may not comply with the minimum borrowing amount required under Section 2.02) and such deemed request shall be irrevocable.

(b) Each Co-Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Administrative Borrower as its agent to request and receive Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant to this Agreement in the name or on behalf of such Co-Borrower. The Agent and the Lenders may disburse the Loans to such bank account of the Administrative Borrower or a Co-Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower and provide such Letters of Credit to a Borrower as the Administrative Borrower may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower or Guarantor. The Administrative Borrower hereby accepts the appointment by the Co-Borrowers to act as the agent of the Co-Borrowers and agrees to ensure that the disbursement of any Loans to a Borrower requested by or paid to or for the account of such Borrower, or the issuance of any Letter of Credit for a Borrower hereunder, shall be paid to or for the account of such Borrower. Each Co-Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Administrative Borrower as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from the Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking made on behalf of any other Borrower by the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if made directly by such Borrower.

(c) The Administrative Borrower operates a centralized cash management system for the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, including the maintenance of appropriate records to determine the amount of intercompany accounts owing among the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries. All Loans or Letters of Credit requested by the Administrative Borrower for ultimate use by the Loan Parties (or for the benefit of their Subsidiaries) may be drawn or obtained in the name of the Administrative Borrower or the name of a Co-Borrower designated by the Administrative Borrower. Upon request, the Administrative Borrower shall promptly confirm for the Agent that each Loan or Letter of Credit has been issued in the name of the appropriate Borrower (and, if applicable, for the benefit of any of their Subsidiaries) and, in the event of any error, the respective records shall be adjusted without prejudice to the rights of the Agent or the Lenders.

Section 2.04 Repayment of Loans. (a) Each of the Borrowers hereby unconditionally promises, jointly and severally, to pay to (i) the Agent for the account of each Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date and (ii) the Swingline Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the fifteenth or last day of a calendar month (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided, that, on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested.

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

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, that, the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to pay, and perform, the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Agent in respect of such entries, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(e) Any Lender by written notice to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall promptly (and, in all events, within five Business Days of receipt of such written notice) prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in the form of Exhibit H-1 or H-2, as the case may be. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or if such promissory note is in registered form, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.05 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage of the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof, and (B) on the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing Commitment Fees, the Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

(b) Agent and Co-Collateral Agent Fees. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents, for their own respective account, the fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter and such other fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Administrative Borrower, the Co-Collateral Agents and the Agent (the “Agent Fees”).

(c) LC and Fronting Fees. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay (i) to the Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee (the “LC Participation Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.06 on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee (“Fronting Fee”), which shall accrue at the rate of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum (or such other rate per annum as the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Borrower may from time to time agree) on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s customary fees and charges with respect to the administration, issuance, amendment, negotiation, renewal, payment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and (ii) on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding. Any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be payable within five Business Days after demand therefor. All LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the LC Participation Fee shall accrue, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to two (2%) percent in excess of the rate then borne by the LC Participation Fee.

(d) Other Fees. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay the Agent and/or the Co-Collateral Agents, for their own accounts, such fees payable in the amounts and at the times as have been or may be separately agreed upon among the Borrowers, the Agent and/or the Co-Collateral Agents.

(e) Payment of Fees. All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds in dollars, to the Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Borrowers shall pay (i) the Fronting Fees directly to the Issuing Bank and (ii) the Fees provided under Section 2.05(d) directly to the Agent or Co-Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.06 Interest on Loans.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(c), the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(c), the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a) or (b), each Loan shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is two (2%) percent in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans, and (ii) without duplication of any amounts payable pursuant to preceding clause (i), (x) overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest, in respect of the Loans shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is two (2%) percent in excess of the rate applicable to respective Loans from time to time, and (y) without duplication of any amounts payable pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.05(c) in respect of the LC Participation Fee, all other overdue amounts owing under the Loan Documents shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is two (2%) percent in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to ABR Loans from time to time (in each such case, the “Default Rate”).

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided, that, (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.06(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual numbers of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day); provided, that, any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.14, bear interest for one day. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding.

Section 2.07 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Revolving Commitments, the Swingline Commitment and the LC Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) At its option, the Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided, that, (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less than $500,000 and (ii) the Revolving Commitments shall not be terminated or reduced if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the Total Revolving Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments.

(c) The Administrative Borrower shall notify the Agent in writing of any election to terminate or reduce Revolving Commitments under Section 2.07(b) at least five Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which effective date shall be a Business Day), specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice,

the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be irrevocable; provided, that, a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Administrative Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities in order to refinance in full the Obligation hereunder, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Administrative Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.

Section 2.08 Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Revolving Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Revolving Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08. The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Revolving Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Revolving Loans comprising such Revolving Borrowing, and the Revolving Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Revolving Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request any conversion or continuation that, if made, would result in more than eight periods with respect to Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any one time (or such greater number of Eurodollar Borrowings as may be acceptable to the Agent in its sole discretion). This Section 2.08 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted into a Eurodollar Borrowing and shall, at all times, be maintained as an ABR Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery, email through “pdf” copy or telecopies, or facsimile transmission (or transmit by other electronic transmission if arrangements for doing so have been approved in writing by the Agent), a duly completed and executed Interest Election Request to the Agent not later than the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Administrative Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.

(i) the Revolving Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, or if outstanding Revolving Borrowings are being combined, allocation to each resulting Revolving Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Revolving Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Revolving Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

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

(e) If an Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Revolving Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent or the Required Lenders may require, by notice to the Administrative Borrower, that (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.09 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans. (a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Revolving Borrowing, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.09; provided, that, each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) In the event of the termination of all the Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and either (A) replace all outstanding Letters of Credit or (B) Cash Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17(i).

(ii) In the event of any partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments by the Borrowers, then (x) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Agent shall notify the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders of the Total Revolving Exposure after giving effect thereto and (y) if the Total Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction, then the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall, on the date of such reduction, first, repay or prepay Swingline Loans, second, repay or prepay Revolving Loans and third, replace outstanding Letters of Credit or Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17(i) in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(iii) If at any time the Total Revolving Exposure exceeds the Total Availability at such time, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall, without notice or demand, promptly first, repay or prepay Swingline Loans, second, repay or prepay Revolving Loans, and third, replace outstanding Letters of Credit or Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17(i) in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate

such excess; except, that, if the Total Revolving Exposure exceeds the Total Availability as a direct result of the establishment or increase of a Reserve and not as a result of any other factor, such excess shall be repaid within five (5) Business Days from the date such excess first exists.

(iv) In the event that the aggregate LC Exposure exceeds the LC Commitment then in effect, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall, without notice or demand, promptly replace outstanding Letters of Credit or Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17 in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(v) Not later than one Business Day following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by any Company (other than any Foreign Subsidiary) that occurs during a Cash Dominion Period, the Administrative Borrower shall apply one hundred (100%) percent of such Net Cash Proceeds to make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.09(d).

(vi) Not later than one Business Day following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from a Casualty Event by any Company (other than any Foreign Subsidiary), the Administrative Borrower shall apply an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of such Net Cash Proceeds to make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.09(d);

(c) Cash Dominion. On each Business Day during which a Cash Dominion Period exists and is continuing, all funds credited in immediately available funds to an Approved Deposit Account and an Approved Securities Account the previous Business Day shall be applied, as and when received by the Agent (unless Section 9.01 is otherwise applicable at such time), (i) first, pro rata to the Obligations consisting of fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by (or owing to) the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) second, to the principal and interest of Swingline Loans made to the Borrowers by the Swingline Lender and not reimbursed by the Lenders until paid in full, (iii) third, pro rata to interest due in respect of all Protective Advances and Overadvances, (iv) fourth, pro rata to the principal amount of all Protective Advances and Overadvances, (v) fifth, pro rata to Reimbursement Obligations for which the Issuing Bank has not received reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.17(e), (vi) sixth, pro rata to interest due to the Lenders upon any of the Loans made to the Borrowers and to the Obligations consisting of costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Lenders in connection with (and to the extent payable or reimbursable to the Lenders under) this Agreement or any other Loan Document according to their respective Pro Rata Percentages thereof until paid in full, (vii) seventh, pro rata to fees due to the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document according to their respective Pro Rata Percentages thereof until paid in full, (viii) eighth, pro rata to the principal of the Revolving Loans made to the Borrowers by each Lender according to their respective Pro Rata Percentages thereof (and, if requested by the Agent or the Required Lenders after the occurrence of any Event of Default, on a pro rata basis, to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit) and any Bank Product Obligations then due and owing to the extent of Reserves then maintained by the Agent with respect thereto (but excluding Bank Product Obligations that are not then covered by such Reserves), (ix) ninth, pro rata to any Bank Product Obligations then due and owing that were not paid pursuant to immediately preceding clause (viii), until paid in full, (x) tenth, pro rata to any other Obligations then due and owing until paid in full and (xi) eleventh, any remaining amounts to the Administrative Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers.

(d) Application of Prepayments. Prior to any optional prepayment of Revolving Loans hereunder, the Administrative Borrower shall select the Revolving Borrowing or Revolving Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.09(d). Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.09 to the prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be applied first to reduce outstanding ABR Loans. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay Eurodollar Loans. In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, if any mandatory prepayment is in respect of an Asset Sale or Casualty Event of any Designated Real Property, the Real Property Availability shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Real Property Availability attributable to such Designated Real Property as of the date such Designated Real Property is sold or becomes subject to a Casualty Event.

(e) Notice of Prepayment. The Administrative Borrower shall notify the Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by written notice of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing (other than a Swingline Borrowing), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment and (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable; provided, that, a notice of prepayment delivered by the Administrative Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities in order to refinance in full the Obligation hereunder, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Administrative Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Such notice to the Lenders may be by electronic communication. Such notice shall not be required for repayments pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.09. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.09. Prepayments (other than pursuant to clause (c) above) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.06.

Section 2.10 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Agent is advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Revolving Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.11 Increased Costs; Change in Legality. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

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

(iii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified pursuant to Section 2.14 and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its Loans, principal, letters of credit, Commitments or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, 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 or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will, jointly and severally, pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; it being understood that this Section 2.11 shall not apply to Taxes that are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified pursuant to Section 2.14. The protection of this Section 2.11 shall be available to each Lender and the Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines (in good faith, but in its sole absolute discretion) that any Change in Law regarding Capital Requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will, jointly and severally, pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail (i) the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.11 and (ii) the calculation of such amount or amounts shall be delivered to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Each Lender shall calculate such amount or amounts in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within three Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to indicate the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Administrative Borrower and to the Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness (as determined in good faith by such Lender)) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Loan (or to convert an ABR Loan to a Eurodollar Loan or to continue a Eurodollar Loan for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn by such Lender by written notice to the Administrative Borrower and to the Agent; and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in Section 2.11(f).

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

(f) For purposes of clause (e) of this Section 2.11, a notice to the Administrative Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Administrative Borrower.

Section 2.12 Breakage Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment, whether optional or mandatory, of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest

Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15, then, in any such event, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall compensate each Lender for any documented, actual out-of-pocket loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits). A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail (i) any documented amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 and (ii) the calculation of such amount or amounts shall be delivered to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Each Lender shall calculate such amount or amounts in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within three Business Days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.13 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or Reimbursement Obligations, or of amounts payable under Section 2.11, 2.12 or 2.14, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Agent at its offices at PNC Bank, National Association, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.12, 2.14 and 11.03 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the persons specified therein. The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.09(c) and 9.01, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim (including pursuant to Section 11.08) or otherwise (including by exercise of its rights under the Security Documents), obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline

Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans, and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided, that, (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.13(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans, or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any Eligible Assignee or participant, other than to any Company or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.13(c) shall apply). Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Legal Requirements, 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 such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. If under applicable Insolvency Law any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 2.13(c) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Secured Party is entitled under this Section 2.13(c) to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received written notice from the Administrative Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.13(d), 2.16(d), 2.17(d), 2.17(e) or 11.03(e), then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.14 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and free and clear of and without deduction, reduction or withholding for any and all Taxes except as required by applicable Legal Requirements. If any amounts on account of Indemnified Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by or on behalf of such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions, reductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions, reductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions, reductions or withholdings and (iii) the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount deducted or withheld in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, or at the option of the Agent reimburse it for payment of any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within three Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Agent or such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any Other Taxes paid by the Agent or such Lender (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) and any penalties, interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Administrative Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank (in each case with a copy delivered concurrently to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.04(e) 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 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 Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the 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 Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this clause (d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, and in any event within 30 days following any such payment being due, by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the Tax Return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. If the Borrowers fail to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fail to remit to the Agent the required receipts or other documentary evidence, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank for any incremental Taxes or expenses that may become payable by the Agent or such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as a result of any such failure.

(f) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is a resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Agent such properly completed and executed documentation and information reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Agent as will

permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally able to do so, (i) furnish to the Administrative Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date it becomes a party hereto, either (a) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN (or successor form) (claiming the benefits of an applicable tax treaty), (b) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI (or successor form), together with required attachments, (c) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8IMY (or successor form), (d) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8EXP (or successor form) or (e) if such Foreign Lender is relying on the so-called “portfolio interest exemption,” an accurate and complete originally executed “Portfolio Interest Certificate” in the form of Exhibit K and two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN (or successor form), in the case of each of the preceding clauses (a) through (e), together with any required schedules or attachments, certifying, in each case, to such Foreign Lender’s legal entitlement to an exemption or reduction from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to all payments hereunder, (ii) promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and the Agent if such Foreign Lender no longer qualifies for the exemption or reduction that it previously claimed as a result of change in such Foreign Lender’s circumstances, and (iii) to the extent it may lawfully do so at such times, provide a new Form W-8BEN (or successor form), Form W-8ECI (or successor form), Form W-8IMY (or successor form), Form W-8EXP (or successor form) and/or Portfolio Interest Certificate upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form, or at any other time upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Borrower or the Agent, to reconfirm any complete exemption from, or any entitlement to a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payment hereunder. Each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall (i) furnish to the Administrative Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date it becomes a party hereto two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) or otherwise establish an exemption from U.S. backup withholding and (ii) to the extent it may lawfully do so at such times, provide a new Form W-9 (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form, or at any other time upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Borrower or the Agent, to reconfirm its complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payment hereunder.

(g) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document may be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed under 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 Administrative Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such times reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower and the Agent, (A) such documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code), and (B) such other documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower and the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, 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, or notify the Agent and the Administrative Borrower that such Lender is not in compliance with FATCA. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.14(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(h) If the Agent or a Lender (or an assignee) determines in its sole discretion that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or the Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or

such Lender (or assignee) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that if the Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is required to repay all or a portion of such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority, the Borrowers, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender (or assignee), shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers that is required to be repaid (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender (or assignee) within three Business Days after receipt of written notice that the Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is required to repay such refund (or a portion thereof) to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in this Section 2.14(h) shall require the Agent or any Lender (or assignee) to make available its Tax Returns or any other information which it deems confidential or privileged to the Borrowers or any other person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will the Agent or any Lender (or assignee) be required to pay any amount to the Borrowers the payment of which would place the Agent or such Lender (or assignee) in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Agent or such Lender (or assignee) would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund or credit of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid.

Section 2.15 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11(a) or (b), or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce materially amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11(a), 2.11(b) or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense, (iii) would not require such Lender to take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions, and (iv) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses submitted by such Lender to the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. In the event (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.11(a) or (b), (ii) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.11(e), (iii) the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.14, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrowers that requires the consent of one hundred (100%) percent of the Lenders or one hundred (100%) percent of all affected Lenders and which, in each case, has been consented to by the Required Lenders or (v) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 11.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or the Issuing Bank and the Agent, require such Lender or the Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to restrictions contained in Section 11.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee which shall assume such assigned obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that, (w) except in the case of clause (iv) above if the effect of such amendment, waiver or other modification of the applicable Loan Document would cure any Default then ongoing, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any applicable Legal Requirement, (y) the Administrative Borrower shall have received the prior

written consent of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or the Issuing Bank in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest and any prepayment premium or penalty (if any) accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or LC Disbursements of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, respectively, affected by such assignment plus all Fees and other amounts owing to or accrued for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (including any amounts under Sections 2.11 and 2.12); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s claim for compensation under Section 2.11(a) or (b) or notice under Section 2.11(e) or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.14, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or the Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.11(e), or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.14, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.15), or if such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.11(a) or (b) in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.11(e) or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby grants to the Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender and the Issuing Bank as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.15(b). After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue any additional Letters of Credit.

(c) Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then (i) during any Default Period (as defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender,” and the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment, Revolving Loans, Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be excluded for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, except that the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment, Revolving Loans, Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be included for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on the matters: (i) set forth in Section 11.02(b)(i)-(iii) (including the granting of any consents or waivers); and (ii) set forth in Section 11.02(b)(iv)-(xi) only to the extent that any such matter disproportionately affects such Defaulting Lender; (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, until such time as the Default Excess (as defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (A) any voluntary prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall, if the Administrative Borrower so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders in accordance with Section 2.09 as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (B) any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.09 shall, if the Administrative Borrower so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender) in accordance with Section 2.09 as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such

Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that the Borrowers shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (B); (iii) the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment, Revolving Loans and LC Exposure shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee payable to Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05(a) in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.05(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; (iv) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: (A) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments but, in any case, only to the extent the sum of the Revolving Exposures of all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders does not exceed the total of the Revolving Commitments of all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders; (B) if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected (as reasonably determined by the Agent), the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall within one Business Day following notice by the Agent (x) prepay such Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender and (y) Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; (C) if the Borrowers Cash Collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this clause (iv), the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any LC Participation Fee to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized; (D) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this clause (iv), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ reallocated LC Exposure; and (E) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this clause (iv), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all Commitment Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and LC Participation Fee payable under Section 2.05 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated; (v) the Revolving Exposure of all Lenders as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender; and (vi) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be one hundred (100%) percent covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with clause (iv) of this Section 2.15(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (iv)(A) of this Section 2.15(c) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein). In the event that each of the Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure and Revolving Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment.

For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Funding Default” shall mean, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the definition of “Defaulting Lender,” (ii) “Default Period” shall mean, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the period commencing on the date of the applicable Funding Default and ending on the earliest of the following dates: (a) the date on which all Revolving Commitments are cancelled or terminated and/or the Obligations are declared or become immediately due and payable; (b) with respect any Funding Default (other than any such Funding Default arising pursuant to clause (e) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender”), the date on which (1) the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero (whether by the funding by such Defaulting Lender of any Revolving Loan of such Defaulting Lender (such Revolving Loans being “Defaulted Loans”) or by the non-pro rata application of any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms hereof or any combination thereof) and (2) such Defaulting Lender shall have delivered to the Administrative Borrower and the Agent a written reaffirmation of its intention to honor its obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Revolving Commitment; and (c) the date on which the Administrative Borrower (on behalf of the Borrowers), the Agent and the Required Lenders waive all Funding Defaults of such Defaulting Lender in writing, and (iii) “Default Excess” shall mean, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the excess, if any, of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans of all Lenders (calculated as if all Defaulting Lenders (including such Defaulting Lender) had funded all of their respective Defaulted Loans) over the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender.

No amount of the Revolving Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.15(c), performance by the Borrowers of their obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of Section 2.15(c). The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under Section 2.15(c) are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrowers may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and that the Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

Section 2.16 Swingline Loans.

(a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrowers (on a joint and several basis) from time to time on any Business Day after the Closing Date and during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (and upon each such Borrowing of Swingline Loans, each Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that such Borrowing will not result in) (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Commitment, or (ii) the Total Revolving Exposure exceeding the Total Availability at such time; provided, that, no Swingline Loan shall be made to refinance, in whole or in part, any outstanding Swingline Loans. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans. The Swingline Lender may, at its sole election and option, upon 3 Business Days advance notice to Administrative Borrower, cancel its obligation to make Swingline Loans.

(b) Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery, email through a “pdf” copy or telecopier, or facsimile transmission (or transmit by other electronic transmission if arrangements for doing so have been approved in writing by the Agent), a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Agent and the Swingline Lender, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), the

amount of the requested Swingline Loan, the location and number of the respective Borrower’s account to which the funds are to be disbursed (which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02(c)), and that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(b)-(d) are satisfied as of the date of the notice. Each Swingline Loan shall be (and shall be maintained as) an ABR Loan. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrowers by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Administrative Borrower with the Swingline Lender, if any, or otherwise remitted to an account (which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02(c)) as directed by the Administrative Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.17(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank). The Swingline Lender shall endeavor to fund each Swingline Loan by 3:00 p.m., New York City time and shall in any event fund such Swingline Loan by no later than 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 above such amount.

(c) Prepayment. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon the Administrative Borrower giving written notice to the Swingline Lender and the Agent before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of repayment.

(d) Participations. The Swingline Lender (i) may at any time in its discretion and (ii) as directed by the Agent from time to time on not less than one Business Day’s written notice to the Swingline Lender shall, by written notice given to the Agent (provided such notice requirements shall not apply if the Swingline Lender and the Agent are the same entity) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following such notice, require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans then outstanding; provided, that, Lenders shall be required to acquire such participations no less frequently than the first date after each Swingline Loan is made that is the fifteenth or last day of a calendar month (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day). Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.16(d) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or a reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (so long as such payment shall not cause such Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment). Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this Section 2.16(d) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Agent shall notify the Administrative Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired by the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.16(d), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrowers (or other party on behalf of the Borrowers) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Agent. Any such amounts received by the Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section 2.16(d), as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this

Section 2.16(d) shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof. Subject to Sections 2.09(c), 2.13(b) and 9.01, the Agent may apply payments on Revolving Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by the Borrowers to the contrary. The provisions of this Section 2.16(d) are solely for the benefit of the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders, and none of the Loan Parties may rely on this Section 2.16(d) or have any standing to enforce its terms.

(e) Resignation or Removal of the Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender may resign as Swingline Lender hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Agent and the Administrative Borrower. Following such notice of resignation from the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Administrative Borrower (with the Administrative Borrower’s agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Agent and the successor Swingline Lender. The Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline Lender. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall repay the outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans and shall pay all interest and unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender. From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement, (i) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans to be made by it thereafter and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of the Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(e) or otherwise, the Swingline Lender may not resign until such time as a successor Swingline Lender has been appointed.

Section 2.17 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Borrower may request the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank agrees, to issue Letters of Credit for the Administrative Borrower’s account or the account of a Co-Borrower or another Wholly Owned Subsidiary, in each case to support payment and performance obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business by the Administrative Borrower and its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (other than obligations in respect of the Senior Unsecured Notes, Subordinated Indebtedness or Equity Interests) in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period (provided, that, each Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and be jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Borrower or another Wholly Owned Subsidiary). Letters of Credit shall be issued in Dollars. The Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, and the Administrative Borrower shall not request the issuance of, any Letter of Credit at any time if after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment, (ii) the Total Revolving Exposure would exceed the Total Availability at such time, or (iii) the expiry date of the proposed Letter of Credit is on or after than the close of business on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Administrative Borrower to, or entered into by the Administrative Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver by hand, email through a “pdf” copy or telecopies, or facsimile transmission (or transmit by other electronic communication if arrangements for doing so have been approved in writing by the Issuing Bank) an LC Request to the Issuing Bank and the Agent prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5^th) Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or such later date and time as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank).

A request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank:

(i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day);

(ii) the face amount thereof;

(iii) the expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the close of business on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date);

(iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof;

(v) whether the Letter of Credit is to be issued for the Administrative Borrower’s own account or for the account of one of its Co-Borrowers or other Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (provided, that, each Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and be jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Borrower or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary);

(vi) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing thereunder;

(vii) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing thereunder; and

(viii) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require.

A request for an amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank:

(i) the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended;

(ii) the proposed date of amendment, renewal or extension thereof (which shall be a Business Day);

(iii) the nature of the proposed amendment, renewal or extension;

(iv) the expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the close of business on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date); and

(v) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require.

If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit; provided, that, the provisions of this Section 2.17 shall apply in respect of all such applications. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and, upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment, (ii) the Total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the Total Availability at such time and (iii) the conditions set forth in Article IV in respect of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension shall have been satisfied. Unless the Issuing Bank shall agree otherwise, no Letter of Credit shall be in an initial amount less than $10,000.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date which is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, that, this Section 2.17(c) shall not prevent the Issuing Bank from agreeing that a Letter of Credit will, upon the request of the Administrative Borrower, automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each (and, in any case, not to extend beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date) unless the Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.17(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (so long as such payment shall not cause such Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment).

(e) Reimbursement. (i) If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made if the Administrative Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Administrative Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Administrative Borrower receives such notice; provided, that, the Administrative Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with ABR Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Administrative Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Loans.

(ii) If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, or if the amount is not financed pursuant to the proviso to Section 2.17(e)(i), the Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent not later than 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day, not later than 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender, and the Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrowers pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.17(e) prior to the time that any Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Agent from the Borrowers thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as appropriate.

(iii) If any Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement available to the Agent as provided above, each of the Borrowers (on a joint and several basis) and such Lender severally agrees to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with the foregoing to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans; provided, that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.17(e), then the Default Rate shall apply and (ii) in the case of such Lender, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers as provided in Section 2.17(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein; (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that fails to strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.17, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of any Borrower hereunder; (v) the fact that a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (vi) any material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), material agreements, properties, solvency, business, management, prospects or value of any Company; or (vii) any other fact, circumstance or event whatsoever. None of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided, that, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, exemplary, special, punitive or other indirect damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements) suffered by the Borrowers that are

caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision) with respect to such a determination, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly give written notice to the Agent and the Administrative Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided, that, any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their joint and several Reimbursement Obligations to the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such Reimbursement Obligation set forth in Section 2.17(e)).

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest payable on demand, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is paid or disbursed to but excluding the date the Issuing Bank was reimbursed by the Borrowers therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for ABR Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day following such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 8.01(g) or (h), interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by the Issuing Bank (and until reimbursed by the Borrowers) at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.17(h) shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Cash Collateralization. If (x) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Administrative Borrower receives notice from the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(i) or (y) if any other event occurs or condition exists requiring the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall deposit in the LC Sub-Account, in the name of the Agent and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an amount in cash equal to one hundred and three (103%) percent of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided, that, the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any of the Borrowers described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 8.01. Funds in the LC Sub-Account shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations of the Borrowers in accordance with Article

IX. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount plus any accrued interest with respect to such amounts (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall, in accordance with Article IX, be returned to the Administrative Borrower within 10 Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. To secure the LC Exposure and the other Obligations, the Loan Parties hereby grant a security interest to the Agent in any cash collateral deposited with the Agent, including the LC Sub-Account.

(j) Additional Issuing Banks. The Administrative Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement, with the consent of each of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), each then existing Issuing Bank (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender(s). Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this Section 2.17(j) shall be deemed (in addition to being a Lender) to be the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Lender in its capacity as Issuing Bank, as the context shall require.

(k) Resignation and Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Agent and the Administrative Borrower. Following such resignation, the Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Administrative Borrower, the Agent and the successor Issuing Bank. The Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank or any such additional Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c). From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement or addition, as applicable, (i) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or such additional or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or such additional and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. If at any time there is more than one Issuing Bank hereunder, the Administrative Borrower may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Bank is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.

(l) Other. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue (or increase or extend or otherwise amend) any Letter of Credit if:

(i) any Order of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Legal Requirement applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve, liquidity or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and, in each case, which the Issuing Bank deems material to it; or

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of general application of the Issuing Bank.

The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

Section 2.18 Nature of Obligations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is understood and agreed by the various parties to this Agreement that all Obligations to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, all Loans, Letters of Credit and all other Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and each other Loan Document (including, without limitation, all fees, indemnities, taxes and other Obligations in connection therewith or in connection with the related Revolving Commitments) shall constitute the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers. In addition to the direct (and joint and several) obligations of the Borrowers with respect to Obligations as described above, all such Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the Guarantees.

(b) The obligations of each Borrower with respect to the Obligations are independent of one another and of the obligations of the Guarantors under the Guarantees of such Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Borrower and each Guarantor (in its capacity as a Guarantor), whether or not any other Borrower or Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Borrower shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Borrower.

(c) Each of the Borrowers authorizes the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Loan Documents:

(i) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any other Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(ii) release or substitute any other Borrower, endorsers, Subsidiary Guarantors or other obligors;

(iii) settle or compromise any of the Obligations of any other Borrower or any other Loan Party, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower to its creditors other than the Lenders;

(iv) apply any sums paid by any other Borrower or any other person, howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of such other Borrower or other person regardless of what liability or liabilities of such other Borrower or other person remain unpaid; and/or

(v) consent to or waive any breach of, or act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise, by any other Borrower or any other person.

(d) It is not necessary for the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall constitute the joint and several obligations of the respective Borrowers hereunder.

(e) No Borrower shall exercise any rights of contribution or subrogation with respect to any other Borrower as a result of payments made by it hereunder at any time that a Default exists and is continuing (or would result therefrom). This clause (e) is intended only to define the relative rights of the Borrowers, and nothing set forth in this clause (e) is intended or shall impair the joint and several obligations of each Borrower to pay the Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof.

(f) Each Borrower waives any right to require the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders to (a) proceed against any other Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other party, (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other party or (c) pursue any other remedy in the Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s or Lenders’ power whatsoever. Each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of suretyship or any impairment of security held from any Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other party or on or arising out of any defense of any other Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the Obligations, including any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any other Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Borrower, in each case other than as a result of the payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

Section 2.19 Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances

(a) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding (including Sections 2.01 and 2.02), the Agent hereby is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Agent’s sole discretion, (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, or (ii) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2 are not satisfied, to make Revolving Loans to, or for the benefit of, the Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders that the Agent, in its discretion deems necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (B) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (any of the Revolving Loans described in this Section 2.19(a) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”) so long as (i) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Protective Advances and Overadvances does not exceed an amount equal to five (5%) percent of the Total Revolving Commitments, and (ii) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the outstanding principal amount of the Total Revolving Exposure (including all outstanding Protective Advances and Overadvances) does not exceed an amount equal to the Total Revolving Commitments.

(b) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, and either the Agent or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans to the Borrowers notwithstanding that, after giving effect thereto or at the time of making thereof, the Total Revolving

Exposure exceeds the Borrowing Base (such Revolving Loans being referred to herein as “Overadvances”), so long as (i) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, the aggregate outstanding amount of all Protective Advances and Overadvances does not exceed an amount equal to five (5%) percent of the Total Revolving Commitments, and (ii) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, the outstanding principal amount of the Total Revolving Exposure (including all outstanding Protective Advances and Overadvances) does not exceed an amount equal to the Total Revolving Commitments. In the event the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents obtain actual knowledge that the aggregate outstanding amount of the Total Revolving Exposure exceeds the amounts permitted by the immediately foregoing provisions, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the loan account of the Borrowers for interest, fees or expenses) unless the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents determine that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value, in which case the Agent may make such Overadvances and provide notice as promptly as practicable thereafter), and the Lenders thereupon shall, together with the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with the Borrowers intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the outstanding principal amount of the Total Revolving Exposure to an amount permitted by the preceding sentence. In such circumstances, if any Lender objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. In any event: (A) if any unintentional Overadvance remains outstanding for more than 30 days, unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Lenders, the Borrowers shall promptly repay Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate all such unintentional Overadvances, and (B) after the date all such Overadvances have been eliminated, there must be at least 30 consecutive days before intentional Overadvances are made. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders, the Co-Collateral Agents and the Agent and are not meant for the benefit of the Borrowers, which shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.01. Each Lender shall be obligated to settle with the Agent in accordance with the Agent’s customary procedures for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of any unintentional Overadvances by the Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional Overadvances made as permitted under this Section 2.19(b), and any Overadvances resulting from the charging to the loan account of the Borrowers for interest, fees or expenses.

(c) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder; except, that, no Protective Advance or Overadvance shall be eligible to be a Eurodollar Loan and, prior to settlement therefor, all payments on the Protective Advances shall be payable to the Agent solely for its own account. The Protective Advances and Overadvances shall be repayable on demand, secured by the Collateral, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Loans that are ABR Revolving Loans. The ability of the Agent to make Protective Advances is separate and distinct from its ability to make Overadvances and its ability to make Overadvances is separate and distinct from its ability to make Protective Advances. The provisions of this Section 2.19 are for the exclusive benefit of the Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit the Borrowers in any way.

Section 2.20 Increase in Total Revolving Commitments.

(a) Subject to Section 2.20(f) below, Administrative Borrower may, at any time, deliver a written request to Agent to increase the Total Revolving Commitments; provided, that, (i) any such increase shall be subject to the consent of Agent and satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Section 2.20(c) below, (ii) any such written request shall specify the amount of the increase in the Total Revolving Commitments that Administrative Borrower is requesting; (iii) the aggregate

amount of any and all such increases in the Total Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $65,000,000 or cause the Total Revolving Commitments to exceed $200,000,000, (iv) the amount of each increase in the Total Revolving Commitments shall not be less than $10,000,000, (v) such requests may not be made more than two (2) times during the term of the Agreement, and (vi) any such request shall be irrevocable.

(b) Upon the receipt by Agent of any such written request, Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such request and each Lender (other than Defaulting Lenders) shall have the option (but not the obligation) to increase the amount of its Revolving Commitment by an amount approved by Agent in its sole discretion of the amount of the increase in the Total Revolving Commitments requested by Administrative Borrower as set forth in the notice from Agent to such Lender. Each Lender shall notify Agent within ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice from Agent whether it is willing to so increase its Revolving Commitment, and if so, the amount of such increase; provided, that, no Lender shall be obligated to provide such increase in its Revolving Commitment and the determination to increase the Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender. If the aggregate amount of the increases in the Total Revolving Commitments received from the Lenders does not equal or exceed the amount of the increase in the Total Revolving Commitments requested by Administrative Borrower, Agent or Administrative Borrower may seek additional increases from Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) or Revolving Commitments from such Eligible Assignees as it may determine, after, in the case of Administrative Borrower, consultation with Agent. In the event Lenders (or Lenders and any such Eligible Assignees, as the case may be) have committed in writing to provide increases in their Revolving Commitments or new Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount in excess of the increase in the Total Revolving Commitments requested by Administrative Borrower or permitted hereunder, Agent shall then have the right to allocate such commitments, first to Lenders and then to Eligible Assignees, in such amounts and manner as Agent may determine, after consultation with Administrative Borrower.

(c) The Total Revolving Commitments shall be increased by the amount of the increase in Revolving Commitments from Lenders or new Commitments from Eligible Assignees, in each case selected in accordance with Section 2.20(b) above, for which Agent has received written confirmation in from and substance satisfactory to Agent from such Lenders or Eligible Assignees, as applicable, on the date requested by Administrative Borrower for the increase or such other date as Agent and Administrative Borrower may agree (but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below), whether or not the aggregate amount of the increase in Revolving Commitments and new Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, equal or exceed the amount of the increase in the Total Revolving Commitments requested by Administrative Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof (but in no event shall the Total Revolving Commitments be increased above the amounts described in Section 2.20(a)), effective on the date that Agent notifies Administrative Borrower that each of the following conditions have been satisfied (such date being the “Total Revolving Commitments Increase Effective Date”):

(i) Agent shall have received from each Lender or Eligible Assignee that is providing an additional Revolving Commitment as part of the increase in the Total Revolving Commitments, a written confirmation described above duly executed by such Lender or Eligible Assignee, Agent and Administrative Borrower;

(ii) the conditions precedent to the making of Advances set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied as of the date of the increase in the Total Revolving Commitments, both before and after giving effect to such increase whether or not a Loan is then being made;

(iii) upon the request of Agent, Agent shall have received an opinion of counsel to Loan Parties in form and substance and from counsel reasonably satisfactory to Agent addressing such matters as Agent may reasonably request, amendments to Mortgages and any other documents and agreements required by Agent with respect thereto;

(iv) such increase in the Total Revolving Commitments on the date of the effectiveness thereof shall not violate any term or provisions of any applicable law, regulation or order or decree of any court or other Governmental Authority and shall not be enjoined, temporarily, preliminarily or permanently;

(v) there shall have been paid to each Lender and Eligible Assignee, in each case, providing an additional Revolving Commitment in connection with such increase in the Total Revolving Commitments all fees and expenses due and payable to such Person on or before the effectiveness of such increase, including, without limitation, all such fees payable in respect of such Revolving Commitments; and

(vi) Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion that all Obligations at any time arising hereunder, after giving effect to such increase in the Total Revolving Commitments, shall constitute permitted indebtedness under the Senior Unsecured Notes Documents or any documents executed and delivered in connection with any Additional Unsecured Notes.

(d) There shall have been paid to Agent, for the account of the Agent and Lenders (in accordance with any agreement among them) all fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents on or before the effectiveness of such increase to the extent relating to such increase.

(e) As of a Total Revolving Commitments Increase Effective Date, each reference to the term Total Revolving Commitments herein, and in any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed amended to mean the amount of the Total Revolving Commitments specified in the written notice from Agent to Administrative Borrower of the increase in the Total Revolving Commitments.

(f) As of the Closing Date, each Loan Party acknowledges, confirms and agrees that Agent and Lenders do not have credit approval to increase the Total Revolving Commitments as in effect on the Closing Date and the terms and provisions of this Section 2.20 shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a commitment by Agent or any Lender to increase the Total Revolving Commitments as in effect on the Closing Date.

The Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party are within such Loan Party’s powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action on the part of each such Loan Party. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party party thereto and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Section 3.03 No Conflicts; No Default or Event of Default. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent, exemption, authorization or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) filings necessary to perfect or maintain the perfection or priority of the Liens created by the Security Documents and (iii) consents, approvals, exemptions, authorizations, registrations, filings, permits or actions the failure of which to obtain or perform could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate the Organizational Documents of any Company, (c) will not violate or result in a default or require any consent or approval under any indenture, instrument, agreement, or other document binding upon any Company or any of its property or to which any Company or any of its property is subject, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Company, except for violations, defaults or the creation of such rights that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (d) will not violate any Legal Requirement, except for violations that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (e) will not result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien on any property of any Company, other than the Liens created by the Security Documents. No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 3.04 Financial Statements; Projections. (a) The Administrative Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders the consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and, if applicable, cash flows of the Administrative Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 3.04(a).

statements of income and cash flows. Such pro forma financial statements (A) have been prepared in good faith by the Administrative Borrower, based upon (i) the assumptions stated therein (which assumptions are believed by the Administrative Borrower on the date hereof and on the Closing Date to be reasonable), (ii) accounting principles consistent with the historical audited financial statements of the Administrative Borrower delivered pursuant to Section 3.04(a) and (iii) the best information available to the Administrative Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, (B) accurately reflect all adjustments required to be made to give effect to the Transactions, (C) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes) consistently applied throughout the applicable period covered, respectively, thereby, and (D) present fairly in all material respects the pro forma consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Administrative Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of such date and for such periods, assuming that the Transactions had occurred at such dates.

(c) The Administrative Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders the forecasts of financial performance of the Administrative Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the fiscal years 2014–2019 (the “Projections”) and the assumptions upon which the Projections are based. The Projections have been prepared in good faith by the Administrative Borrower based upon (i) the assumptions stated therein (which assumptions were believed by the Administrative Borrower on the date hereof and the Closing Date to be reasonable), (ii) accounting principles consistent with the historical audited financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 3.04(a) above consistently applied throughout the fiscal years covered thereby, and (iii) the information available to, or in the possession or control of, the Administrative Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof (it being understood by the parties that projections by their nature are inherently uncertain, no assurances are being given that the results reflected in such Projections will be achieved, that actual results will differ from the Projections and that such differences may be material).

(d) Since January 31, 2013, there has been no event, change, circumstance, condition, development or occurrence that has had, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.05 Properties. (a) Each Company has good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its property material to its business, free and clear of all Liens and irregularities, deficiencies and defects in title except for Permitted Liens and minor irregularities, deficiencies and defects in title that, individually or in the aggregate, do not, and could not reasonably be expected to, interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such property for its intended purpose. The tangible property of the Companies, taken as a whole, (i) is in good operating order, condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and (ii) constitutes all the property which is required for the business and operations of the Companies as presently conducted.

(d) Each Company owns or has rights to use all of its property and all rights with respect to any of the foregoing used in, necessary for or material to each Company’s business as currently conducted. The use by each Company of its property and all such rights with respect to the foregoing do not infringe on the rights or other interests of any person, other than any infringement that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been made upon any Company and remains outstanding that any Company’s use of any of its property does or may violate the rights of any third party that has had, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. The Real Property is zoned to permit the uses for which such Real Property is currently being used, except where such failure or violation could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present uses of the Real Property and the current operations of each Company’s business do not violate any provision of any applicable building codes, subdivision regulations, fire regulations, health regulations or building and zoning by-laws in any way where such use could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) With respect to each Real Property (including each Mortgaged Property), each Loan Party shall have made all notifications, registrations and filings, to the extent required by, and in accordance with, all Governmental Real Property Disclosure Requirements applicable to such Real Property (including each Mortgaged Property), except where the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

As of the Closing Date, all Equity Interests of each Company are duly and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, and all Equity Interests of the Loan Parties (other than the Administrative Borrower) are owned by the Administrative Borrower, directly or indirectly, through Wholly Owned Subsidiaries. Each Loan Party is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Equity Interests pledged by (or purporting to be pledged by) it under the Security Documents, free of any and all Liens, rights or claims of other persons, except any Permitted Liens that arise by operation of applicable Legal Requirements and are not voluntarily granted, and, as of the Closing Date, except as set forth in Schedule 3.07(a), there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights (including derivatives) to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any such Equity Interests (or any economic or voting interests therein).

(b) No consent of any person, including any general or limited partner, any other member or manager of a limited liability company, any shareholder, any other trust beneficiary or derivative counterparty, is necessary or reasonably desirable (from the perspective of a secured party) in connection with the creation, perfection or first priority status (or the maintenance thereof) of the

security interest of the Agent in any Equity Interests pledged to the Agent under the Security Documents or the exercise by the Agent or any Lender of the voting or other rights provided for in the Security Documents or the exercise of remedies in respect of such Equity Interests.

(c) A complete and accurate organization chart, showing the ownership structure of the Companies as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Transactions, is set forth on Schedule 3.07(c).

(d) As of the Closing Date, the Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 3.07(d) are the only Immaterial Subsidiaries (and such Schedule 3.07(d) also lists the total assets and revenues for each such Immaterial Subsidiary as of January 31, 2014 and for the twelve months then ended, respectively).

Section 3.08 Litigation; Compliance with Legal Requirements. (a) There are no actions, suits, claims, disputes, proceedings or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, investigations at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting any Company or any business, property or rights of any Company (i) that purport to affect or involve any Loan Document or, as of the Closing Date, any of the Transactions or (ii) that have resulted, or could reasonably be expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each Company is in compliance with all Legal Requirements of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property, except such non-compliance as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.09 Agreements. No Company is a party to or has violated any agreement, instrument or other document to which it is a party, or is subject to any corporate or other constitutional restriction, or any restriction (including under its Organizational Documents) to which it is subject, that has resulted, or could reasonably be expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) No part of the proceeds of any Credit Extension will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X. The pledge of the Securities Collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement does not violate such regulations.

Section 3.11 Investment Company Act.

Section 3.18 Employee Benefit Plans. (a) The Companies and each of their ERISA Affiliates are in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, with respect to all Employee Benefit Plans. Each Employee Benefit Plan complies in all material respects, and is operated and maintained in compliance in all material respects, with its terms and all applicable Legal

Requirements, including the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations thereunder. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service (or an opinion letter or determination letter will be applied for during the applicable remedial amendment period) and nothing has occurred which is reasonably likely to prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification.

(b) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur and no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability, in either case, that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Within the last six years, no Pension Plan with an Unfunded Pension Liability has been transferred outside of the “controlled group” (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA) of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, have not resulted in, and could not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Code (or similar state laws) or where such provision could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of any Company.

(d) There are no actions, suits or claims pending against or involving an Employee Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) To the extent applicable, each Non-U.S. Plan has been maintained in material compliance with its terms and any applicable Legal Requirements and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, except for any non-compliance or failure that has not, and could not reasonably be expected to, result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Company has incurred any material obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Non-U.S. Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Non-U.S. Plan which is funded, determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal year of each Company on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the property of such Non-U.S. Plan by a material amount, and for each Non-U.S. Plan which is not funded, the obligations of such Non-U.S. Plan are properly accrued.

GUARANTEE

Section 7.01 The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, guarantee, as primary obligors and not as sureties, to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment and performance in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes, if any, held by each Lender of, the Borrowers, and all other Secured Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Loan Party in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrowers or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Section 7.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 7.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

127

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

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

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

(iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be valid, perfected or to have the priority required under the Loan Documents; or

(v) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.09.

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrowers or any Guarantor under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrowers and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

Section 7.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article VII shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

128

Section 7.04 Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 7.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any of the Borrowers or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party permitted pursuant to Section 6.04(f) shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Secured Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany Note evidencing such Indebtedness.

Section 7.05 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and other Loan Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VIII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article VIII) for purposes of Section 7.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by any Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 7.01.

Section 7.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article VII constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender, Co-Collateral Agent or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

Section 7.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VII is a continuing guarantee of payment and performance, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

Section 7.08 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Legal Requirement affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 7.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 7.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the rights of subrogation and contribution established in Sections 7.04 and 7.10, respectively) that is valid and enforceable, not void or voidable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding. The Secured Parties further agree that this Guarantee may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee, partner, member or stockholder of any Guarantor (except to the extent such partner, member or stockholder is also a Loan Party hereunder).

Section 7.09 Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a person or persons (other than any Company or any Affiliate thereof),

129

such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 11.03) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document and, in the case of the sale of all of the Equity Interests of the Transferred Guarantor, the pledge of such Equity Interests to the Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall be released. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, any Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, such Guarantor shall, upon becoming an Excluded Subsidiary, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 11.03) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document and the pledge of its Equity Interests to the Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall be released. So long as the Administrative Borrower shall have previously provided the Agent such certifications or documents as the Agent shall reasonably request, the Agent shall take, and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to take, such actions as are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 7.09 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents.

Section 7.10 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.04. The provisions of this Section 7.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to any Secured Party, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 7.11 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under Section 7.01 in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 7.11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.11, or otherwise under Section 7.01, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 7.11 shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.11 constitute, and this Section 7.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(k) any security interest and Lien purported to be created by any Security Document shall cease (except in accordance with its terms) to be in full force and effect, or shall cease to give the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Liens, rights, powers and privileges purported to be created and granted under such Security Documents (including a valid, enforceable, perfected First Priority (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or such Security Document) security interest in and Lien on, all of the Collateral (other than an immaterial portion) thereunder) in favor of the Agent, or shall be asserted by or on behalf of any Company not to be, a valid, enforceable, perfected, first priority (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or such Security Document) security interest in or Lien on the Collateral (other than an immaterial portion) covered thereby;

(l) (x) any Loan Document or any material provisions thereof shall at any time and for any reason be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be null and void, (y) a proceeding shall be commenced by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, or by any Governmental Authority, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof (exclusive of questions of interpretation of any provision thereof), or (z) any Company (directly or indirectly) shall repudiate, revoke, terminate or rescind (or purport to do any of the foregoing) or deny any portion of its liability or obligation for the Obligations;

(m) Any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.22 is or becomes false or misleading; or

(n) there shall have occurred a Change in Control;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to any Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Administrative Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Revolving Commitments; (ii)

132

declare the Obligations then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Obligations so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Loan Parties accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Loan Parties, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document or otherwise to the contrary notwithstanding; and (iii) exercise (and/or direct the Agent to exercise) any and all of its (or the Agent’s) other rights and remedies under applicable Legal Requirements, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; and in any event with respect to any Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) above, the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Obligations then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Loan Parties accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Loan Parties, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document or otherwise to the contrary notwithstanding.

In addition, without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a foreclosure (or other similar exercise of remedies) by the Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition to the extent not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements and, in addition, the Agent, as agent for and representative of all of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or other disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Agent at such sale.

Section 8.02 Rescission. If at any time after termination of the Revolving Commitments or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the Loan Parties shall pay all arrears of interest and Fees and all payments on account of principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing by them that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and Fees and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified herein) and all Defaults (other than non-payment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 11.02, then upon the written consent of Required Lenders (which may be given or withheld in their sole discretion) and written notice to the Administrative Borrower, the termination of the Revolving Commitments or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the other Secured Parties to a decision that may be made at the election of the Required Lenders, and such provisions are not intended to benefit any Loan Party and do not give any Loan Party the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

ARTICLE IX

ARTICLE X

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE CO-COLLATERAL AGENTS

Section 10.01 Appointment/Actions by Co-Collateral Agents. (a) Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably designates and appoints (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to irrevocably designate and appoint) each of the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents as an agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to irrevocably authorize) each of Agent and Co-Collateral Agents, in such capacity, through its agents or employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article X are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Bank Product Providers, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and any rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each of the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Each Lender irrevocably appoints each other Lender, and the Co-Collateral Agents irrevocably appoint the Agent, as its agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting Liens (whether pursuant to Section 8-301(a)(2) of the UCC or otherwise), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in assets in which, in accordance with the UCC or any other applicable Legal Requirement, a security interest can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Agent) obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly following the Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Agent’s instructions. The Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge and authorize) that the Agent may act as the collateral agent for the Secured Parties.

135

(c) With respect to any action or determination to be taken or made by the Co-Collateral Agents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, Co-Collateral Agents shall seek, in good faith, to reach a consensus decision for such action or determination; if, after consulting in good faith, Co-Collateral Agents are unable to agree on the action to be taken or the determination to be made, the determination or action shall be made by the Co-Collateral Agent either asserting the more conservative credit judgment (that is, that would result in the least amount of credit being available to the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries under this Agreement) or declining to permit the requested action for which consent is being sought by the Borrowers, as applicable.

Section 10.02 Agents in their Individual Capacity. Each person serving as an Agent under the definition of Agents hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the person serving as an agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Company or any Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank.

Section 10.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the Agent nor the Co-Collateral Agents shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither the Agent nor the Co-Collateral Agents shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, are required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.02); provided, that neither the Agent nor the Co-Collateral Agents shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability, if the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents are not indemnified to its satisfaction, or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Legal Requirements including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Insolvency Law or that may effect a foreclosure, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender under any Insolvency Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither the Agent nor the Co-Collateral Agents shall have any duty to disclose or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither the Agent nor the Co-Collateral Agents shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as any of the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the Agent nor the Co-Collateral Agents shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof describing such default is given to the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, by any Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Bank, and neither the Agent nor the Co-Collateral Agents shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or

136

genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Agent and/or the Co-Collateral Agents may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents and the notification to the Agent and/or Co-Collateral Agents, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. Neither the Agent nor the Co-Collateral Agents shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider. Neither the Agent nor the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents. If Agent or Co-Collateral Agents shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent or Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent or Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and Agent or Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent or Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders.

Section 10.04 Reliance by Agent. The Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents 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 a proper person. The Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it to be made by a 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 of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents may each consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other advisors 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 advisors.

Section 10.05 Delegation of Duties. The Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents may each perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable. The Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, and any such sub-agent, and shall apply, without limiting the foregoing to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as agent. The Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

137

Section 10.06 Successor Agent. The Agent or either Co-Collateral Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 10 days’ prior notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Borrower and without notice to the Bank Product Providers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Administrative Borrower, so long as no Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, to appoint a successor Agent or Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, from among the Lenders. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 10 days after the retiring Agent or Co-Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent or Co-Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent or Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, which successor shall be a commercial banking institution or other finance company organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; provided, that if such retiring Agent or Co-Collateral Agent is unable to find a commercial banking institution or other finance company that is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth above, the retiring Agent’s or Co-Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the retiring (or retired) Agent or Co-Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its respective duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent or Co-Collateral Agent.

Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent or Co-Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent or Co-Collateral Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Agent or Co-Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its respective duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent or Co-Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After an Agent’s or Co-Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article X, Section 11.03 and Sections 11.09 and 11.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent or Co-Collateral Agent, its respective sub-agents and its respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent or Co-Collateral Agent.

Section 10.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, conducted its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has reviewed each document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof (including any such terms and conditions set forth, or otherwise maintained, on the Platform with respect thereto). Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent or Co-Collateral Agents to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or

138

replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of Borrowers, their Affiliates or their agents, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or thereunder or contemplated hereby or thereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such Anti-Terrorism Laws.

Section 10.08 Name Agents. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Arranger, the Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent hold their titles in name only, and that such titles confer no additional rights or obligations relative to those conferred on any Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.

Section 10.09 Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents in their capacity as such and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers or the Guarantors and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers or the Guarantors to do so), ratably according to their respective outstanding Loans and Revolving Commitments in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 10.09 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which all Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such outstanding Loans and Revolving Commitments as in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, fines, penalties, actions, claims, suits, judgments, litigations, investigations, inquiries or proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, or Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, the Transactions or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, or Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY AGENT OR RELATED PERSON); provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, fines, penalties, actions, claims, suits, judgments, litigations, investigations, inquiries or proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have directly resulted solely and directly from the Agent’s or the Co-Collateral Agents’, as applicable, or Related Person’s, as the case may be, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 10.09 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and the termination of the Revolving Commitments.

Section 10.10 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Legal Requirements, the Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority, or the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

139

Section 10.11 Lender’s Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgements. (a) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Administrative Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Administrative Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Neither the Agent nor the Co-Collateral Agents shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and neither the Agent nor the Co-Collateral Agents shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledge that neither the Agent nor the Co-Collateral Agents or Related Person of the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, has made any representation or warranty to it. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, neither the Agent nor the Co-Collateral Agents shall have any duty or responsibility (either express or implied) to provide any Lender or the Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, including the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, that may come in to the possession of the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, or any of their Related Persons.

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

Section 10.12 Security Documents and Guarantees.

(a) Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Guarantees, the Collateral and the Loan Documents; provided that the Agent shall not owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Bank Product Obligations with respect to any Bank Product Agreement. Subject to Section 11.02, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 11.02) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guarantees pursuant to Section 7.09 or with respect to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 11.02) have otherwise consented, if such Person (A) ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, (B) becomes an Unrestricted Subsidiary or (C) becomes an Excluded Subsidiary; provided, that, no such release shall occur with respect to an entity that ceases to be a Subsidiary if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of the Senior Unsecured Notes unless and until each Guarantor is (or is being simultaneously) released from its guarantee with respect to the Senior Unsecured Notes.

140

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

(c) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any Affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Bank Product Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in any Collateral subject to any disposition permitted by the Loan Documents, and to release any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any person subject to such disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Secured Obligations (other than Secured Obligations in respect of any Bank Product Agreement and contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim or demand has been made) have been paid in full, all Revolving Commitments have terminated or expired and all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired (or have been Cash Collateralized), upon request of the Administrative Borrower, the Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Bank Product Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Secured Obligations in respect of Bank Product Agreements. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Administrative Borrower or any other Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

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

Section 10.13 Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Agent or Co-Collateral Agents (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent or Co-Collateral Agents shall have made any demand on any Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

(b) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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 and the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents under Sections 2.03 and 10.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents under this Agreement. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents under this Agreement out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

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

Notice and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may (subject to Section 11.01(b)) be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent. Any party hereto may change its address, facsimile number or e-mail address for notice and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. The Agent or the Administrative Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided, that, approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (including by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment); provided, that, if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(b) Posting. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will provide to the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents the all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, Borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default under this Agreement or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications, collectively, the “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents at the e-mail address(es) provided to the Administrative Borrower by the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents from time to time or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents shall reasonably request. In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents shall reasonably request. Nothing in this Section 11.01 shall prejudice the right of the Agent, Co-Collateral Agents, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or as the Agent or Co-Collateral Agents shall reasonably request.

145

(c) The Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents agree that receipt of the Communications by the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents at their e-mail address(es) set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as the case may be, for purposes of the Loan Documents.

(d) Each Loan Party further agrees that the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents may make the Communications available to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank by posting the Communications on a Platform. The Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and the Approved Electronic 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 Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other person for damages of any kind, whether or not based on strict liability and including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or related to any Loan Party’s or the Agent’s or the Co-Collateral Agents’ transmissions of Communications through the Internet (including the Platform). Notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (a) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. Each Loan Party understands that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Each Lender agrees that receipt of 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 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 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.

(f) Each Loan Party and each Lender agrees that the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Agent’s or the Co-Collateral Agents’ customary document retention procedures and policies.

(g) Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to information that is not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain Material Non-Public Information with respect to the Administrative Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities for

146

purposes of United States federal or state securities laws. In the event that any Public Lender has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed through the Platform or otherwise, such Public Lender acknowledges that (i) other Lenders may have availed themselves of such information and (ii) neither any Borrower nor the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, has any responsibility for such Public Lender’s decision to limit the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.02 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 11.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Subject to Section 2.15(c) and Sections 11.02(c) and 11.02(d), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Loan Parties and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent (in the case of any Security Document) and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the written consent of the Required Lenders; provided, that, no such agreement shall:

(i) increase or extend the expiry date of the Revolving Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant or Default (or any definition used, respectively, therein) shall constitute an increase in or an extension of the expiry date of the Revolving Commitment of any Lender for purposes of this clause (i));

(ii) reduce the principal amount or premium, if any, of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than waiver of any increase in the rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or reduce any Fees payable hereunder, or change the form or currency of payment of any Obligation, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(iii) postpone or extend the maturity of any Loan, or the required date of payment of any Reimbursement Obligation, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (other than a waiver of any increase in the rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Commitment or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

147

(iv) change Section 11.04(b) in a manner which further restricts assignments thereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(v) change Section 2.09(c), Section 2.13(b) or (c) or Section 9.01 in a manner that would alter the order of or the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vi) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document (including this Section 11.02) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be);

(vii) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their respective Guarantees (except as expressly provided in Article VII), or limit their liability in respect of such Guarantees, without the written consent of each Lender;

(viii) except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or any Security Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents or alter the relative priorities of the Secured Obligations entitled to the Liens of the Security Documents (except in connection with securing additional Secured Obligations equally and ratably with the other Secured Obligations), in each case without the written consent of each Lender;

(ix) subordinate the Obligations under the Loan Documents to any other Indebtedness;

(x) change the definition of the Borrowing Base or any definitions used therein in a manner that is intended to increase any of the availability under the Borrowing Base without the written consent of the Required Lenders; provided, that, the consent of the Lenders shall not be required for the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as applicable, to use their Permitted Discretion to make adjustments to the eligibility or to impose or remove Reserves, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(xi) increase the advance rates for the Borrowing Base, without the written consent of each Lender; or

(xii) increase the Total Revolving Commitments to an amount greater than $135,000,000, without the written consent of the Required Lenders as determined based upon the Commitments as in effect on the Closing Date;

provided, further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Agent) if (1) by the terms of such agreement the Revolving Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment, (2) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement, and (3) Section 2.15(b) is complied with, as applicable.

148

(c) Without the consent of any other person, the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties and the Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by applicable Legal Requirements to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or assets so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Legal Requirements.

(d) Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the Closing Date, the Agent and the Administrative Borrower shall have agreed in their sole and absolute discretion that there is an ambiguity, inconsistency, manifest error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Agent and the Administrative Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (it being understood that the Agent has no obligation to agree to any such amendment).

Section 11.03 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to pay, promptly upon demand:

(i) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Arranger, the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Advisors for the Arranger, the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender in connection with the syndication of the Loans and Revolving Commitments, the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the administration of the Credit Extensions and Revolving Commitments (including with respect to the establishment and maintenance of a Platform and including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel as may be necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, and the charges of IntraLinks, SyndTrak or a similar service), the perfection and maintenance of the Liens securing the Collateral and any actual or proposed amendment, supplement or waiver of any of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated);

(ii) all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Arranger, the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Advisors for any of the foregoing incurred in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights under the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 11.03(a), or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder and the collection of the Obligations, including all such costs and expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Obligations; provided, that, in the case of charges of outside counsel not related to the enforcement, preservation and protection of the rights of the Arranger, the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Lender, as the case may be, such payment shall be limited to the fees, disbursements and other charges of (x) one primary counsel for the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents and the Lenders (taken as a group), (y) one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for

149

the Agent and the Lenders (taken as a group) and (z) one regulatory counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the Agent and the Lenders (taken as a group) (and, in each case, in the case of an actual or a potential conflict of interest, (A) one additional counsel for each affected person (or group of similarly affected persons) and (B) one local and/or regulatory counsel for each affected person (or group of similarly affected persons) in any relevant jurisdiction);

(iii) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Advisors for the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents, in connection with any action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding affecting the Collateral or any part thereof, in which action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding the Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents is made a party or participates or in which the right to use the Collateral or any part thereof is threatened, or in which it becomes necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Agent to defend or uphold the Liens granted by the Security Documents (including any action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding to establish or uphold the compliance of the Collateral with any Legal Requirements);

(iv) subject to Section 5.13, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by (or on behalf of) the Co-Collateral Agents in respect of Collateral appraisal, audit and field examination fees and expenses (including travel, meals and lodging, plus a per diem charge at the Co-Collateral Agents’ (or their designee’s or representative’s) then standard rate for the Co-Collateral Agents’ examiners in the field and office); and

(v) all Other Taxes in respect of the Loan Documents.

(b) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, each Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing persons and each Related Person of each of the foregoing (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, fines, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and related expenses, including reasonable Advisors fees, charges and disbursements (collectively, “Claims”), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee, directly or indirectly, arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution, delivery, performance, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby or the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder, (ii) any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials, on, at, under or from any property owned, leased or operated by any Company at any time or any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property formerly owned, leased or operated by any Company at the time of its ownership, lease or operations, or any Environmental Claim or threatened Environmental Claim related in any way to any Company, (v) any past, present or future non-compliance with, or violation of, Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits applicable to any Company, or any Company’s business, or any property presently or formerly owned, leased, or operated by any Company or their predecessors in interest, (vi) the environmental condition of any property owned, leased, or operated by any Company at any time, or the applicability of any Legal Requirements relating to such property, whether or not occasioned wholly or in part by any condition, accident or event caused by any act or omission of any Company, (vii) the imposition of any environmental Lien encumbering Designated Real Property owned, leased or operated by any Company, (viii) the consummation of the Transactions (including

150

the syndication of the Loans) and the other transactions contemplated hereby or (ix) any actual or prospective claim, action, suit, litigation, inquiry, investigation, or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Loan Party or otherwise, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided, that, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses or other Claims are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons.

(c) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, that, without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents and any affected Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Loan Parties will not enter into any settlement of a Claim in respect of the subject matter of Section 11.03(b) and asserted against an Indemnitee unless such settlement includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such Claim of all Indemnitees and does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee.

(d) The provisions of this Section 11.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and any other Secured Obligations, the release of any Guarantor or of all or any portion of the Collateral, the expiration of the Revolving Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 11.03 shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

(e) To the extent that the Loan Parties fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under clause (a) or (b) of this Section 11.03 in accordance with Section 10.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any party hereto or any third party); provided, that, the unreimbursed Claim was incurred by or asserted against any of the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank, or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes of this clause (e), a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the Total Revolving Exposure and unused Revolving Commitments at the time.

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, that, such waiver of special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Loan Parties to the extent such special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages are included in any third party claim with respect to which the applicable Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Section 11.03. No Indemnitee shall be

151

liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnitee, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(g) All amounts due under this Section 11.03 shall be payable on demand (accompanied by an invoice or other reasonable documentation) therefor.

Section 11.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that the Loan Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Lender, which consent may be withheld in their respective sole discretion (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void ab initio). Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants to the extent expressly provided in clause (e) of this Section 11.04 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) Any Lender shall have the right at any time to assign to one or more assignees (other than any Company or any Affiliate thereof or a natural person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, that:

(i) except in the case of (A) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (B) any assignment made in connection with the primary syndication by the Arranger of the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans or (C) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loans, the amount of the Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000;

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, that, such fee shall not be payable in the case of an assignment by any Lender to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such Lender;

(iv) the assignee, if it shall not then be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(v) each of the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank and (except (I) when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (II) in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (III) in connection

152

with the primary syndication by the Arranger of the Revolving Commitments) the Administrative Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, that, the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any consent of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender required under this clause (b) may be withheld by such person in its sole discretion. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 11.04(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement (provided, that, any liability of the Borrowers to such assignee under Sections 2.11, 2.12 or 2.14 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable thereunder by the Borrowers in the absence of such assignment, except to the extent any such amounts are attributable to a Change in Law occurring after the date of such assignment), and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 2.11, 2.12, 2.14 and 11.03.

(c) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Administrative Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Swingline Lender and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance 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 Section 11.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 11.04(b), the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 11.04(d). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with the requirements of this Section 11.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.04(e).

(e) Any Lender shall have the right at any time, without the consent of, or notice to any Borrower, the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender or any other person to sell participations to any person (other than any Company or any Affiliate thereof or a natural person) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Revolving Loans

153

owing to it); provided, that, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; 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 (1) is described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the proviso to Section 11.02(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.14, subject to the requirements and limitations therein to, to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.04(b); provide that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.13 and 2.15 as if it were an assignee under Section 11.04(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11 or 2.14, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided, that, such Participant agrees in writing to be subject to Section 2.13(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender shall, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants, and the amount and terms of its participations (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender (and the Borrowers, to the extent that the Participant requests payment under Section 2.11, 2.12 or 2.14 from the Borrowers) shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11, 2.12 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Administrative Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or the greater payment results from a Change in Law after the date the participation was sold to the Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless such Participant agrees to comply with Section 2.14(f) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required in Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

(g) 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 central bank, and this Section 11.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans or similar extensions of

154

credit, such Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents or any other person, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and the Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and the Administrative Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to a Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that, (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof; provided further that nothing herein shall make the SPC a “Lender” for the purposes of this Agreement, obligate the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or the Agent to deal with such SPC directly, obligate the Borrowers or any other Loan Party in any manner to any greater extent than they were obligated to the Granting Lender, or increase costs or expenses of the Borrowers. The Loan Parties and the Agent shall be entitled to deal solely with, and obtain good discharge from, the Granting Lender and shall not be required to investigate or otherwise seek the consent or approval of any SPC, including for the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.04(h), any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Administrative Borrower and the Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Administrative Borrower and the Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any Material Non-Public Information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(i) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Legal Requirement, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar laws domestic or foreign, federal, state, provincial or otherwise, based on or analogous or similar to the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

155

Section 11.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the reports, certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (or Cash Collateralized) and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Article X and Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 11.03, 11.05, 11.09, 11.10 and 11.12 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the payment of the Reimbursement Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 11.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the Agent Fee Letter, the Arranger Engagement Letter and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents and/or the Arranger, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 11.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.08 Right of Setoff; Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents held by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. None of the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall be under any

156

obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, Issuing Bank or Lenders (or to Agent, on behalf of Lenders, the Co-Collateral Agents or Issuing Bank), or the Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, Issuing Bank or Lender enforces any security interests or exercises any right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Insolvency Law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 11.09(b).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 11.13 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 11.18 Bank Product Providers. Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom the Agent is acting. The Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed the Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to the Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that the Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release reserves in respect of the Bank Product Obligations and that if reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of the Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, the Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to the Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written certification is received by the Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. The Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Bank Products, but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the relevant Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, the

160

Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the relevant Bank Product Provider is the amount last certified to the Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). The Borrowers may obtain Bank Products from any Bank Product Provider, although the Borrowers are not required to do so. The Borrowers acknowledge and agrees that no Bank Product Provider has committed to provide any Bank Products and that the providing of Bank Products by any Bank Product Provider is in the sole and absolute discretion of such Bank Product Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank Product shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or Guarantors.

Section 11.19 Excluded Swap Obligations. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY EXCLUDED SWAP OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE EXCLUDED FROM (A) THE DEFINITION OF “SECURED OBLIGATIONS” (OR ANY EQUIVALENT DEFINITION) CONTAINED HEREIN OR IN ANY SECURITY DOCUMENT AND NO LIEN GRANTED PURSUANT TO ANY SECURITY DOCUMENT SHALL SECURE ANY EXCLUDED SWAP OBLIGATIONS AND (B) THE DEFINITION OF “GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS” (OR ANY EQUIVALENT DEFINITION) IN THE GUARANTEE OR IN ANY OTHER GUARANTEE OF THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS AND NO EXCLUDED SWAP OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE GUARANTEED PURSUANT TO ANY SUCH GUARANTEE.
