in each case, at the option of the Borrower, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, a Parent Entity, or any successor entity of any of the foregoing (including a third party) (the “Testing Party”) (such election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), with such option to be exercised on or prior to the date of execution of the definitive documentation, submission of notice or the making of a definitive declaration, as applicable, with respect to such Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be (v) in the case of any Acquisition or other Investment (including by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation), any Disposition or any assumption or Incurrence of Indebtedness or issuance of Capital Stock, or any transaction relating thereto, the date (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended reference period) of entry into the definitive agreements (or, if applicable, a binding offer or launch of a “certain funds” tender offer), for, or the date any declaration is provided or made with respect to, such Limited Condition Transaction, (w) in the case of any prepayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or other payment or Refinancing of Indebtedness or Capital Stock, the date that the notice, which may be conditional, of such prepayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or other payment or Refinancing of Indebtedness or Capital Stock is given, (x) in the case of any other Restricted Payment, at the time (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended reference period) of the declaration of such Restricted Payment, (y) in the case of any designation of a subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted, the date of delivery of a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower is given with respect to such designation or redesignation, or (z) in the case of sales in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies (or similar law or practice in other jurisdictions), the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intends to make an offer or similar announcement or determination in another jurisdiction subject to laws similar to the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers in respect of a target of a Limited Condition Transaction (the applicable date determined pursuant to the foregoing clauses (v) through (z), the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the applicable LCT Test Date, the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, calculation or basket, such ratio, calculation or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, calculations or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, calculation or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets of the Borrower, the target company or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, on or prior to the date of consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, calculations or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations and such baskets, ratios or financial metrics shall not be tested at the consummation of the Limited Condition Transaction except as contemplated in clause (a) of the immediately succeeding proviso; provided, however, that, (a) if financial statements for one or more subsequent Test Periods shall have become available, the Testing Party may elect, in its sole discretion, to re-determine all such baskets, ratios and financial metrics on the basis of such financial statements, in which case such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable LCT Test Date, (b) if any ratios or financial metrics improve or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios, financial metrics or baskets may be utilized and (c) Consolidated Interest Expense with respect to any Indebtedness expected to be Incurred in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction will, for purposes of the Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges Ratio, be calculated using an assumed interest rate based on the available documentation therefor, as determined by the Testing Party in good faith. If the Testing Party has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then, in connection with any subsequent calculation of the ratios, baskets or financial metrics on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement, notice or declaration for such Limited Condition Transaction is abandoned, terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, basket or financial metric shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

-94-

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Testing Party has exercised its option pursuant to the foregoing and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the LCT Test Date (including any new LCT Test Date) for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction and prior to or on the date of the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed not to have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted under this Agreement. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, calculation or test with respect to the Incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of distributions or Restricted Payments, Investments, payments pursuant to Section 10.7, Dispositions, mergers, Dispositions of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement, notice or declaration for such Limited Condition Transaction is abandoned, terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, calculation or test shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

1.12Pro Forma and Other Calculations.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to Section 1.11 and clauses (h) and (i) below, financial ratios, calculations and tests (including measurements of baskets and other calculations calculated on the basis of Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated EBITDA, Fixed Charges and any Fixed Amount or Incurrence-Based Amount), including the Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges Ratio, Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio and Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.12; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 1.12, when calculating the Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio for purposes of (i) the definition of “Applicable Margin” and the “Commitment Fee Rate”, (ii) calculating the covenant in Section 10.10 and (iii) Section 5.2(a)(ii), the events described in this Section 1.12 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect; provided, however, that, for purposes of any determination under the proviso to Section 5.2(a)(ii), Consolidated First Lien Debt shall be determined after giving pro forma effect to (A) the aggregate principal amount of (1) Term Loans voluntarily prepaid pursuant to Section 5.1, (2) Senior Secured Notes, secured Permitted Additional Debt, secured Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness and secured Term Loan Exchange Notes (and any secured Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any thereof) voluntarily prepaid, repurchased, defeased, acquired or redeemed, (B) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans assigned to any Purchasing Borrower Party pursuant to Section 13.6(g), secured Permitted Additional Debt, secured Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness and secured Term Loan Exchange Notes (and any secured Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any thereof), in each such case assigned to any Purchasing Borrower Party (or any similar term as defined in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture or the documentation governing such secured Permitted Additional Debt, secured Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness or secured Term Loan Exchange Notes) pursuant to the Senior Secured Notes Indenture or the documentation governing such secured Permitted Additional Debt, secured Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness or secured Term Loan Exchange Notes (or, in each case, in accordance with the corresponding provisions of the documentation governing any Indebtedness representing secured Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof), but only to the extent that such Term Loans, such Senior Secured Notes, such Permitted Additional Debt, such secured Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness or such secured Term Loan Exchange Notes, (or such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof), as applicable, have been cancelled and (C) the aggregate amount of all permanent reductions of Revolving Credit Commitments, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 4.2 (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any such commitment reductions required by the proviso to Section 2.14(b) or in connection with the Incurrence of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance any Revolving Credit Commitments, Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments), in each case of this clause (C), (x) except to the extent financed by the Incurrence of long term Indebtedness (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Indebtedness Incurred under a revolving credit facility Incurred as Permitted Additional Debt or otherwise Incurred under Section 2.14) by, or the issuance of

-95-

Capital Stock by, or the making of capital contributions to, any member of the Restricted Group or using the proceeds of any Disposition outside the ordinary course of business and (y) after the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended full fiscal year and prior to the date of the applicable payment to be made pursuant to such Section 5.2(a)(ii) assuming such payment had been made on the last day of such fiscal year. In addition, whenever a financial ratio, calculation or test is to be calculated on a pro forma basis or requires pro forma compliance, the reference to “Test Period” for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall be based on, the most recently ended Test Period for which Internal Financial Statements are available and may be determined with reference to the financial statements of a Parent Entity of the Borrower instead, so long as such Parent Entity does not hold any material assets other than, directly or indirectly, the Capital Stock of the Borrower (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or senior management of the Borrower (or any Parent Entity)).

(b)For purposes of calculating any financial ratio, calculation or test that is to be calculated on a pro forma basis (including measurements of baskets and other calculations on the basis of Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated EBITDA, Fixed Charges or any Fixed Amount or Incurrence-Based Amount), the Transactions, the Closing Date Refinancing Transactions, Specified Transactions and/or Specified Restructurings (with any Incurrence or Refinancing of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to be subject to clause (d) of this Section 1.12) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that the Transactions and all such Specified Transactions and/or Specified Restructurings (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to the Transactions, and to any Specified Transaction or Specified Restructuring) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period, (or, in the case of Consolidated Total Assets or “unrestricted” cash and cash equivalents, on the last day of the applicable Test Period). If, since the beginning of any applicable Test Period, any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction and/or Specified Restructurings that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.12, then such financial ratio, calculation or test (including measurements of baskets and other calculations on the basis of Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated EBITDA, Fixed Charges or any Fixed Amount or Incurrence-Based Amount) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.12.

(c)Whenever pro forma effect or a determination of pro forma compliance is to be given to a Specified Transaction or a Specified Restructuring, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of Run Rate Benefits related to Run Rate Initiatives projected by the Borrower in good faith to result from or relating to any Specified Transaction (including the Transactions and the Closing Date Refinancing Transactions) or Specified Restructuring that is being given pro forma effect or for which a determination of pro forma compliance is being made that have been realized or are expected to be realized and for which the actions necessary to realize such Run Rate Benefits have been taken or initiated, have been committed to be taken or initiated, with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or initiated or which are expected to be taken or initiated (in the good faith determination of the Borrower) (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such Run Rate Benefits had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such Run Rate Benefits were realized during the entirety of such period and “run rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken or initiated, any action committed to be taken or initiated, any action with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or initiated or any action that is expected to be taken or initiated (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of Public Company Costs, if any) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, and any such Run Rate Benefits shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized) relating to such Specified Transaction or Specified Transaction, and any such Run Rate Benefits included in the initial pro forma calculations shall continue to apply to subsequent calculations of such financial ratios or tests, including during any subsequent Test Periods in which the effects thereof are expected to be realizable; provided that (A) such Run Rate Benefits are reasonably identifiable in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, (B) such actions are taken or initiated, such actions are committed to be taken or initiated, substantial steps with respect to such action have been taken or initiated or such actions are expected to be taken or initiated no later than twelve fiscal quarters after the date of

-96-

consummation of the Transactions or the Closing Date Refinancing Transactions, such Specified Transaction or the date of initiation of such Specified Restructuring and (C) no Run Rate Benefits shall be added to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA (or any other components thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period.

(d)In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Incurs (including by assumption or guarantee) or Refinances (including by redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than normal fluctuations in revolving Indebtedness Incurred for working capital purposes), in each case included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test that is to be calculated on a pro forma basis, (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence or Refinancing of Indebtedness (including pro forma effect to the application of the net proceeds therefrom), in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period (except in the case of the Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges Ratio (or similar ratio), in which case such Incurrence or Refinancing of Indebtedness will be given effect, as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period).

(e)If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest Hedging Agreements applicable to such Indebtedness). To the extent interest expense generated by Hedging Obligations that have been terminated is included in Consolidated Interest Expense prior to the date of the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges Ratio is being made, Consolidated Interest Expense shall be adjusted to exclude such expense. Interest on a Financing Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Financing Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower or applicable Restricted Subsidiary may designate. For purposes of making the computations referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period or, if lower, the maximum commitments under such revolving credit facility as of the date of the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges Ratio is being made, except as set forth in Section 1.12(d).

(f)For purposes hereof, the “maximum fixed repurchase price” of any Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock that does not have a fixed repurchase price shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of such Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock as if such Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock were purchased on any date on which Consolidated Total Debt shall be required to be determined pursuant to this Agreement, and if such price is based upon, or measured by, the Fair Market Value of such Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock, such Fair Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or senior management of such Person.

(g)Any such pro forma calculation may include, without limitation, (1) all adjustments of the type described in clauses (I) through (III) of the proviso to the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” to the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to such Test Period, and (2) adjustments calculated in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.

(h)For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any Fixed Amount, Incurrence-Based Amount or, except as described in Section 1.12(a), any other financial ratio, test, covenant, calculation or measurement (including, without limitation, any Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio test, any Consolidated Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio test, any Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio test, any Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges Ratio test, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and the amount of Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income, Fixed Charges and/or Consolidated Total Assets), such Fixed Amount, Incurrence-Based Amount or other

-97-

financial ratio, test, covenant, calculation or measurement shall be calculated at the time such action is taken (subject to Section 1.11), such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such Fixed Amount, Incurrence-Based Amount or other financial ratio, test, covenant, calculation or measurement occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.

(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Borrower otherwise notifies the Administrative Agent, (i) with respect to any amounts Incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement (including any covenant or the definition of Incremental Base Amount) that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including any Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio test, any Consolidated Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio test, any Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio test and/or any Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently, simultaneously or contemporaneously with any amounts Incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, amounts Incurred under the Incremental Ratio Debt Amount) any Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio test, any Consolidated Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio test, any Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio test and/or any Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts (including amounts Incurred under the Incremental Base Amount) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts (including amounts Incurred under the Incremental Ratio Debt Amount), (ii) the Incurrence of the Incurrence-Based Amount shall be calculated first without giving effect to any Fixed Amount but giving full pro forma effect to the use of proceeds of such Fixed Amount and the related transactions and (iii) the Incurrence of the Fixed Amount shall be calculated thereafter. Unless the Borrower elects otherwise, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used amounts under an Incurrence-Based Amount then available to the Borrower prior to utilization of any amount under a Fixed Amount then available to the Borrower.

(j)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except to the extent expressly required to be calculated otherwise in Section 2.14 or Section 10.1(o), for any Additional /Replacement Revolving Credit Facility, in the event an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) is Incurred, any Lien is Incurred or other transaction is undertaken in reliance on an Incurrence-Based Amount, such Incurrence-Based Amount shall be calculated without regard to the Incurrence of any Indebtedness under any revolving facility or letter of credit facility immediately prior to, simultaneously or contemporaneously with, or in connection therewith.

(k)Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, so long as an action was taken (or not taken) in reliance upon a basket, ratio or test under this Agreement that was calculated or determined in good faith by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower based upon financial information available to such officer at such time and such action (or inaction) was permitted under this Agreement at the time of such calculation or determination, any subsequent restatement, modification or adjustments made to such financial information (including any restatement, modification or adjustment that would have caused such basket, ratio or test to be exceeded as a result of such action or inaction) shall not result in any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement.

(l)For purposes of the calculation of the Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, the Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio and/or the Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges Ratio in connection with the entering into or increase of commitments under any a revolving credit, delayed draw facility or other similar committed facility such Person may elect, pursuant to a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent, to treat all or any portion of the commitment (such amount elected until revoked as described below, the “Elected Amount”) under any such Indebtedness which is to be Incurred (or any commitment in respect thereof) or secured by such Lien (whether by the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries or any third party), as the case may be, as being Incurred or secured, as the case may be, as of the date such certificate is delivered and (i) any subsequent Incurrence of such Indebtedness or such Lien under such commitment that was so treated (so long as the total

-98-

amount under such Indebtedness does not exceed the Elected Amount) shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an Incurrence of additional Indebtedness or an additional Lien at such subsequent time, (ii) such Person may revoke an election of an Elected Amount pursuant to a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent and (iii) at all times thereafter, for subsequent calculations of the Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, the Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio and/or the Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges Ratio test, the Elected Amount (if any) shall be deemed to be outstanding, whether or not such amount is actually outstanding.

1.13Cashless Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, to the extent that any Lender extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or Refinances, any of its then-existing Loans or Commitments with Term Loans, Incremental Commitments, Incremental Facilities, Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, Loans in connection with any Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Facility, Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Facility Loans or loans Incurred under a new credit facility, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or Refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such Lender pursuant to settlement mechanisms approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or Refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Credit Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in Cash” or any other similar requirement.

SECTION 2.Amount and Terms of Credit Facilities.

2.1Loans.

(a)Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender having an Initial Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a loan or loans (each, an “Initial Term Loan”) to the Borrower (or Co-Obligors), which Initial Term Loans (i) shall not exceed, for any such Lender, the Initial Term Loan Commitment of such Lender, (ii) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Total Initial Term Loan Commitment, (iii) shall be made on the Closing Date and shall be denominated in Dollars, (iv) may, at the option of the Borrower, be Incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans; provided that all such Initial Term Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise provided herein, consist entirely of Initial Term Loans of the same Type and (v) may be repaid or prepaid in accordance with the provisions hereof, but once repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. On the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, all outstanding Initial Term Loans shall be repaid in full.

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make a loan or loans (each, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) to the Borrower (or Co-Obligors) in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, which Revolving Credit Loans (i) shall not exceed, for any such Lender, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender, (ii) shall not, after giving pro forma effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure at such time exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment at such time, (iii) shall not, after giving pro forma effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, at any time result in the aggregate amount of all Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, (iv) shall be made at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (v)(i) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, may at the option of the applicable Borrower be Incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans and (ii) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, shall be Incurred and maintained as Eurocurrency Loans; provided that all Revolving Credit Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Revolving Credit Loans of the same Type and (vi) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(ii)On the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate.

-99-

(c)Each Lender may at its option make any Fixed Rate Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Fixed Rate Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Fixed Rate Loan and (ii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize any increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of the Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it determines would be otherwise disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.10 shall apply).

(d)

(i) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Swingline Lender in its individual capacity agrees, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Swingline Maturity Date, to make a loan or loans (each, a “Swingline Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars, which Swingline Loans (A) shall be ABR Loans, (B) shall have the benefit of the provisions of Section 2.1(d)(ii), (C) shall not exceed at any time outstanding the Swingline Commitment, (D) shall not, after giving pro forma effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result at any time in the aggregate amount of all Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, (E) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof and (F) shall mature no later than the date ten Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made. On the Swingline Maturity Date, all outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full. The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after receiving a written notice from either the Borrower or the Administrative Agent stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice (x) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice, (y) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1 or (z) from the Administrative Agent that such Default or Event of Default is no longer continuing.

(ii)On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders, with a copy to the Borrower, that all then-outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, in which case Revolving Credit Loans constituting ABR Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the same Business Day by all Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata based on each such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Credit Loans upon same Business Days’ notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified to it in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for each Borrowing specified in Section 2.2, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing or (v) any reduction in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment after any such Swingline Loans were made. In the event that, in the sole judgment of the Swingline Lender, any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law in respect of the Borrower), each Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from the Swingline Lender (without recourse or warranty) such participation of the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Lender to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages; provided that all principal and interest payable on such Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date the respective participation is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the Lender purchasing the same from and after such date of purchase.

(iii)The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate as additional Swingline Lenders one or more applicable Revolving Credit Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Revolving Credit Lender of an appointment as a Swingline Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated Swingline Lender, and, from

-100-

and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Credit Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to include such Revolving Credit Lender in its capacity as a lender of Swingline Loans hereunder.

(iv)The Borrower may terminate the appointment of any Swingline Lender as a “Swingline Lender” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Swingline Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) the Swingline Lender’s acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the fifth Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the Swingline Exposure of such Swingline Lender shall have been reduced to zero. Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to such termination, but shall not make any additional Swingline Loans.

2.4Disbursement of Funds.

(a)No later than the later of 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (including Mandatory Borrowings and Borrowings to reimburse Unpaid Drawings under Letters of Credit) and one hour after written notice of such Borrowing is delivered by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, each Lender will make available its pro rata portion, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below; provided that, on the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Incremental Facilities, on the relevant Incremental Facilities Closing Date), such funds may be made available at such earlier time as may be agreed among the relevant Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent for the purpose of consummating the Transactions or the Closing Date Refinancing Transactions; provided, further, that all Swingline Loans shall be made available to the Borrower in the full amount thereof by the Swingline Lender no later than one hour after written notice of such Borrowing is delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender.

(b)(i) Each Lender shall make available all such requested amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any Borrowing for its applicable Commitments in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and the Administrative Agent will (except in the case of Mandatory Borrowings and Borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings under Letters of Credit) make available to the Borrower by depositing to an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in writing, the aggregate of the amounts so made available in Dollars or such other applicable Alternative Currency. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the date of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available same to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent in Dollars or such other applicable Alternative Currency. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans (or, in the case of Alternative Currency Loans, the cost to the Administrative Agent of acquiring overnight funds in such Alternative Currency, as the case may be). If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

(ii) The Swingline Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any Borrowing of Swingline Loans in immediately available funds to the Borrower (as specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing), by depositing to an account designated by the Borrower to the Swingline Lender in writing or otherwise in such Notice of Borrowing, the aggregate of the amount so made available.

(c)Nothing in this Section 2.4, including any payment by the Borrower, shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

(c)In the event any Incremental Term Loans are made, such Incremental Term Loans shall mature and be repaid in amounts and on dates as agreed between the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of such Incremental Term Loans in the applicable Incremental Agreement, subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.14.

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

(f)The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded and, in the case of the Register, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower in

-104-

accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section and any Lender’s records, the accounts of the Administrative Agent shall govern.

(g)For the avoidance of doubt, (i) all Initial Term Loans shall be repaid, whether pursuant to this Section 2.5 or otherwise, in Dollars and (ii) all Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid, whether pursuant to this Section 2.5 or otherwise, in Dollars or Alternative Currencies.

Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower giving the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least (i) three Business Days’, in the case of a continuation of, or conversion to, Fixed Rate Loans or (ii) the same Business Day in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans), prior written notice (including on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit P (or such other form as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent acting reasonably), specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted or continued, the requested date of the conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), the principal amount of Loans to be converted or continued, as the case may be, and if such Loans are to be converted into or continued as Fixed Rate Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. Such Notice of Conversion or Continuation may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Notice of Conversion or Continuation; provided that any telephone notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation. If the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made or continued as the same Type of Loan, which if a Fixed Rate Loan, shall have a one-month Interest Period. Any such automatic continuation shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Fixed Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a conversion to, or continuation of, Fixed Rate Loans in any such Notice of Conversion or Continuation, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swingline Loan may not be converted to a Fixed Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.

(b)If any Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any Fixed Rate Loans denominated in Dollars and the Administrative Agent has, or the Required Lenders have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, Fixed Rate Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans.

2.10Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc.

(a)In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) through (iv) below, any Lender, shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

-107-

(i)on any date for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period that (x) deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising any Borrowing of Fixed Loans are not generally available in the relevant market or (y) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Closing Date affecting the London interbank eurocurrency market, the market for loans based on “CDOR” or “BBSY” rate or the market for any similar rate for any other Alternative Currency, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of the Eurocurrency Rate; or

(iii)at any time after the Closing Date, that the making or continuance of any Eurocurrency Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law (or would conflict with any such Applicable Law not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially and adversely affects the London interbank eurocurrency market, the market for loans based on “CDOR” or “BBSY” rate or the market for any similar rate for any other Alternative Currency; or

(iv)at any time that the respective Alternative Currency (other than Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling or Canadian Dollars) is not available in sufficient amounts to fund any Borrowing of such Alternative Currency Loans requested pursuant to Section 2.1;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (w) in the case of clause (i) or (iv) above, in the event any Eurocurrency Loans are so affected, the applicable Eurocurrency Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and (A) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to the Eurocurrency Loans that have not yet been Incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (B) in the case of any affected Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of any affected Eurocurrency Borrowing in an Alternative Currency, at the Borrower’s election, such Borrowing shall either (1) be converted into ABR Borrowing denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Eurocurrency Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (2) be prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period in full; provided that if no election is made by the Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Eurocurrency Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above, (x) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, promptly (but no later than ten Business Days) after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in

amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), and (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by Applicable Law.

(b)At any time that any Eurocurrency Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (a)(iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel said Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent written notice thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (a)(iii) or (y) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such Eurocurrency Loan into an ABR Loan, if applicable; provided that (A) if the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) apply to any Alternative Currency Loan, the Borrower may, in lieu of taking the actions described above, maintain such Alternative Currency Loan outstanding, in which case the applicable Eurocurrency shall be determined on the basis provided in the definition of the relevant Eurocurrency Rate, unless the maintenance of such Alternative Currency Loan outstanding on such basis would not stop the conditions described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) from existing (in which case the actions described above, without giving effect to the proviso, shall be required to be taken) and (B) if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c)If, any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s or their respective parent’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or their respective parent could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s or their respective parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, promptly (but no later than ten Business Days) after written demand by such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or their respective parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such Applicable Law as in effect on the Closing Date except as a result of a Change in Law. Each Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower (on its own behalf) which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.

(d)Benchmark Replacement Settings.

(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, but subject to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to determine that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred and implement a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to clause (vi) of this Section 2.10(d) below, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may establish an alternate benchmark floating rate of interest to the Eurocurrency Rate (or similar interbank offered rate) that is a Benchmark Replacement, and may enter into an amendment to this Agreement (the “Benchmark Replacement Amendment”) to reflect such Benchmark Replacement and such other related changes to this Agreement with respect thereto as may be applicable in their discretion, including provisions for the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to allow for the adoption of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes; provided, further, that any Benchmark Replacement implemented pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) shall only be implemented to the extent that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines, in consultation with the Borrower, that it is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent to administer.

-109-

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Benchmark Replacement Amendment (i) shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement and (ii) may designate the timing of effectiveness of the Benchmark Replacement (including pursuant to the occurrence of identified conditions), but in any event to occur no earlier than the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii)If a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may establish such alternate benchmark floating term rate of interest to the Eurocurrency Rate (the “Alternative Benchmark Rate”), which may include a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, and enter into a Benchmark Replacement Amendment to reflect such alternate rate of interest, which amendment may not become effective until five Business Days after the date that notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, unless prior to the end of such five Business Day period the Administrative Agent receives a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such alternate rate of interest, in which event, such amendment shall not become effective; provided that any Alternative Benchmark Rate implemented pursuant to this paragraph shall only be implemented to the extent that the Administrative Agent reasonably decides, in consultation with the Borrower, that it is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent to administer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Benchmark Replacement Amendment may designate the timing of effectiveness of the Benchmark Replacement (including pursuant to the occurrence of identified conditions, but in any event to occur no earlier than the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date). For the avoidance of doubt, if any such alternate rate of interest determined pursuant to this paragraph would be less than the Floor, such rate shall be deemed to be the Floor for purposes of this Agreement.

(iii)Following the effectiveness of the Benchmark Replacement Amendment, if any Benchmark Transition Event occurs with respect to the Benchmark Replacement or the Alternative Benchmark Rate identified in such Benchmark Replacement Amendment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any change in or alternative to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or any change in or alternative to a compounded or term methodology for calculating such benchmark), then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may enter into an additional Benchmark Replacement Amendment to reflect another Benchmark Replacement without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or to reflect an Alternative Benchmark Rate, which amendment, (A) in the case of a Benchmark Replacement, (x) shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement and (y) may designate the timing of effectiveness of the Benchmark Replacement (including pursuant to the occurrence of identified conditions, but in any event to occur no earlier than the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date), and (B) in the case of an Alternative Benchmark Rate, may not become effective until five Business Days after the date that notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, unless prior to the end of such five Business Day period the Administrative Agent receives a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such alternate rate of interest; provided that, with respect to any such additional Benchmark Replacement Amendment to reflect another Benchmark Replacement, Required Lenders shall (A) not be entitled to object to any such Benchmark Replacement based on SOFR contained in such additional Benchmark Replacement Amendment and (B) only be entitled to object to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustments with respect thereto.

(iv)The Administrative Agent and/or the Borrower will promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, as applicable, of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement or Alternative Benchmark Rate and (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made pursuant to this Section 2.10(d), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made only in accordance with this Section 2.10(d).

-110-

(v)To the extent administratively and operationally feasible, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any Benchmark Replacement and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall meet the standards set forth in Proposed Section 1.1001-6 of the United States Treasury Regulations (or any successor or final version of such regulation) so as not to be treated as a “modification” (and therefore an exchange) of this Agreement or any Loans hereunder for purposes of Section 1.1001-3 of the United States Treasury Regulations, it being understood that for these purposes, the substantially equivalent fair market value requirement of Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-6(b)(2) shall be deemed satisfied, and it being further understood that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action under this provision that would cause it any commercially unreasonable burden as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent.

(vi)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, but subject to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to effect a Benchmark Replacement Amendment pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.10(d) above, in their sole discretions to the extent the following conditions of this clause (vi) are not satisfied, if (A) a Benchmark Transition Event or, as the case may be, an Early Opt-in Election and the Benchmark Replacement Date with respect thereto has already occurred prior to the Reference Time for any setting of the then-current Benchmark and as a result the then-current Benchmark is being determined in accordance with clauses (2) or (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” and (B) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower subsequently determine that (i) Term SOFR and a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment with respect thereto is or has becomes available and the Benchmark Replacement Date with respect thereto has occurred, (ii) there is currently a market for syndicated credit facilities utilizing Term SOFR as a Benchmark and for determining the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment with respect thereto, (iii) Term SOFR is being recommended as the Benchmark for syndicated credit facilities by the Relevant Government Body and (iv) in any event, Term SOFR, the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment with respect thereto and the application thereof is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent (as determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower), then, at the joint election of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” will, without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, replace such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Credit Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings on and from the beginning of the next Interest Period or, as the case may be, Available Tenor so long as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders prior to the commencement of such next Interest Period or, as the case may be, Available Tenor.

(vii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent does not warrant nor accept any responsibility nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to (A) any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (B) any alternative benchmark implemented pursuant to this Section 2.10(d), (C) any Benchmark Replacement Amendment, (D) the administration, submission or any matter relating to the rates in the definition of Benchmark or with respect to any rate that is an alternative, comparable or successor rate thereto or (E) the effect of any of the foregoing.

(viii)During the continuance of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, if no Benchmark Replacement has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, and thereafter the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has occurred, and, failing that, (A) in the case of any affected Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (B) in the case of any affected Eurocurrency Borrowing in an Alternative Currency, at the Borrower’s election, such Borrowing shall either (1) be converted into ABR Borrowing denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Eurocurrency Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (2) be prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period in full; provided that

-111-

if no election is made by the Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Eurocurrency Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of ABR based upon the Eurocurrency Rate will not be used in any determination of ABR.

(e)The agreements in this Section 2.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall be entitled to seek compensation under this Section 2.10 based on the occurrence of a Change in Law arising solely from (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or (y) Basel III or any requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, unless such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer is generally seeking compensation from other borrowers in the U.S. leveraged loan market with respect to its similarly affected commitments, loans and/or participations under agreements with such borrowers having provisions similar to this Section 2.10.

(g)This Section 2.10 shall not operate to provide payments that are duplicative of those required under Section 5.4.

2.11Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of a Fixed Rate Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Fixed Rate Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or 13.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 11 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of Fixed Rate Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing or failure to satisfy the conditions of Section 6 and Section 7, (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a Fixed Rate Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any Fixed Rate Loan is not continued as a Fixed Rate Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of principal of a Fixed Rate Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Borrower shall, after receipt by the Borrower of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount and, absent clearly demonstrable error, the amount requested shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender within ten Business Days of such request any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to borrow, failure to convert, failure to continue, failure to prepay, reduction or failure to reduce, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Fixed Rate Loan. The agreements in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.12Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(c), 3.5 or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4.

2.13Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4 is given by any Lender more than 180 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in

-112-

such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

2.14Incremental Facilities.

(a)The Borrower or any other Guarantor may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent request (i) one or more additional Classes of term loans, which may be provided in Dollars, or in any Alternative Currency, as applicable, or additional term loans of the same Class of any existing Class of term loans, which may be provided in the same currency as the existing Class of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”), (ii) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”) or (iii) one or more additional Classes of revolving credit commitments, which commitments may be in Dollars, in any Alternative Currency or any combination thereof (the “Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments”, and, together with the Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases, the “Incremental Facilities” and the commitments in respect thereof are referred to as the “Incremental Commitments”); provided that, subject to Section 1.11, at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase or Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment is made or effected (and after giving pro forma effect thereto), except as set forth in the proviso to clause (b) below, no Event of Default (or, in the case of the Incurrence or provision of any Incremental Facility in connection with an Acquisition, other Investment or similar transactions or any repayment, prepayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or other Refinancing or similar payment in respect of Indebtedness or Capital Stock and that, in the case of Capital Stock, requires irrevocable notice in advance thereof, no Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5) shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b)Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans, each tranche of Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments and each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 or, in the case of Incremental Term Loans, Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments or an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase denominated in an Alternative Currency, €5,000,000, CAN$5,000,000, £5,000,000, A$5,000,000 or like amount in any other Alternative Currency, as applicable, (it being understood that such amount may be less than such amount if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth below) (and, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, in minimum increments of $1,000,000 (or, in the case of Incremental Term Loans, Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments or an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase denominated in an Alternative Currency, €1,000,000, CAN$1,000,000, £1,000,000, A$1,000,000 or like amount in any other Alternative Currency, as applicable) in excess thereof), and, subject to the proviso at the end of this Section 2.14(b), the aggregate amount of (x) the Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases and the Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving pro forma effect thereto and the use of the proceeds thereof) Incurred pursuant to this Section 2.14(b), plus (y) the aggregate principal amount of Permitted Additional Debt Incurred under Section 10.1(u)(ii)(A) shall not exceed, as of the date of Incurrence of such Indebtedness or commitments, the sum of (A) the Incremental Base Amount plus (B) an aggregate amount of Indebtedness, such that, subject to Section 1.11, after giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence (and after giving pro forma effect to any Specified Transaction or Specified Restructuring to be consummated in connection therewith and assuming that all Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases and/or Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments then outstanding and Incurred under this clause (B) were fully drawn), the Borrower would be in compliance with a Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio as of the last day of the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the Incurrence of any such Incremental Facility, calculated on a pro forma basis, as if such Incurrence (and transactions) had occurred on the first day of such Test Period, that is no greater than 4.00:1.00 (this clause (B), the “Incremental Ratio Debt Amount” and, together with the Incremental Base Amount, the “Incremental Limit”); provided that (i) Incremental Term Loans may be Incurred without regard to the Incremental Limit, without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, without regard to the minimums set forth in the first part of this Section 2.14(b), to the extent that the Net Cash Proceeds from such Incremental Term Loans are used on the date of

-113-

Incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans (or substantially concurrently therewith) to either (x) prepay Term Loans and related amounts in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.2(a)(i) or (y) permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.2(e)(ii) (and any such Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to this proviso), and (ii) Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments may be provided without regard to the Incremental Limit, without regard to the minimums set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.14(b) and without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent that the existing Revolving Credit Commitments, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or other Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced in accordance with Section 5.2(e)(ii) by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments so provided (and any such Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to this proviso).

(c)(i) The Incremental Term Loans (A) shall be secured on an equal priority basis with, and only by all or a portion of, the Collateral securing the Obligations (and which may be equal or junior in right of payment with the Initial Term Loans) and shall only be guaranteed by the Credit Parties, (B) shall not mature earlier than the Latest Maturity Date, (C) shall not have a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the remaining Initial Term Loans; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any customary bridge facility (so long as the long-term Indebtedness into which any such customary bridge facility is to be converted or exchanged otherwise satisfies the requirements of clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 2.14(c) and, in the case of a lending facility, such conversion or exchange is subject only to conditions customary for similar conversions or exchanges), customary term loan “A” facilities provided by commercial banks or similar financial institutions (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) and Incremental Term Loans that are Incurred in connection with an Acquisition, Investment or other similar transaction, or to the extent such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Commitments are subject to Customary Escrow Provisions (so long as the Indebtedness that is released from escrow otherwise satisfies the requirements of clause (B) and this clause (C)), may be Incurred without regard to clause (B) and/or (C) of this Section 2.14(c)(i), (D) shall have a maturity date (subject to clause (B)), an amortization schedule (subject to clause (C)), and interest rates (including through fixed interest rates or payment-in-kind interest), pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, fees, AHYDO Catch-Up Payments, funding discounts, original issue discounts, closing payments, maturity, currency types (subject, in the case of currency types other than Dollars, Euros and the Alternative Currencies, to the consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and denominations and prepayment terms and premiums for the Incremental Term Loans as determined by the Borrower and the lenders of the Incremental Term Loans; provided that, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 24 months after the Closing Date, in the event that the Effective Yield for any Incremental Term Loans (other than Incremental Term Loans (1) established pursuant to the proviso of Section 2.14(b), (2) having a final maturity date that is more than one year after the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, (3) denominated in a currency other than Dollars, (4) [reserved] or (5) in an aggregate principal amount equal to or less than the greater of (x) $720,000,000 and (y) 100.0% of Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the date such transaction occurs (measured as of such date) based upon the Internal Financial Statements most recently available on or prior to such date; provided that this clause (5) shall be an aggregate basket and not measured per Incurrence of Incremental Term Loans (clauses (1) through (5), collectively, the “MFN Exceptions”)) is greater than the Effective Yield for the Initial Term Loans by more than 0.50%, then the Applicable Margins for the Initial Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Effective Yield for the Initial Term Loans is equal to the Effective Yield for such Incremental Term Loans denominated in Dollars minus 0.50% (this proviso, the “MFN Protection”); provided, further, that, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans that do not bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, for purposes of calculating the applicable increase (if any) in the Applicable Margins for the Initial Term Loans in the immediately preceding proviso, the Applicable Margin for such Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to be the interest rate (calculated after giving effect to any increases required pursuant to the immediately succeeding proviso) of such Incremental Term Loans less the then applicable Reference Rate; (E) may be denominated in Dollars, Euros, or any other Alternative Currency or any combination thereof and (F) may otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of the Initial Term Loans; provided that (x) except with respect to matters contemplated by clauses (B), (C), (D) and (E) above (except for covenants and other provisions or requirements applicable only to the periods after the Latest Maturity Date), any differences shall be, at the option of the Borrower, either (1) reasonably

-114-

satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (2) consistent with market terms and conditions, when taken as a whole, at the time of Incurrence or effectiveness of such Incremental Facility (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) or (3) not be materially more restrictive on the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the terms of this Agreement, when taken as a whole and (y) the documentation governing any Incremental Term Loans may include any Previously Absent Covenant so long as the Administrative Agent shall have been given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such Previously Absent Covenant for the benefit of each Credit Facility.

(ii) The Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be treated the same as the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments being increased (including with respect to maturity date thereof) and shall be considered to be part of the Class of Revolving Credit Facility being increased (it being understood that, if required to consummate an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, the interest rate margins, rate floors and undrawn commitment fees on the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments being increased may be increased and additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders participating in the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (without any requirement to pay such fees to any existing Revolving Credit Lenders)).

(iii) The Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments (A) shall be secured only by all or a portion of the Collateral securing the Obligations on an equal priority basis with the Obligations and shall only be guaranteed by the Credit Parties, (B) shall not mature earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (C) shall have interest rates (including through fixed interest rates or payments in-kind interest), pricing, interest margins, rate floors, fees, undrawn commitment fees, AHYDO Catch-Up Payments, funding discounts, original issue discounts, closing payments, currency types (subject, in the case of currency types other than Dollars, Euros and the other Alternative Currencies, to the consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and denominations, prepayment terms and premiums and commitment reduction and termination terms as determined by the Borrower and the lenders of such commitments, (D) may include provisions relating to swingline loans and/or letters of credit, as applicable, issued thereunder, which issuances, in the case of letters of credit, shall be on terms substantially similar (except for the overall size of such subfacilities, the fees payable in connection therewith and the identity of the swingline lender and letter of credit issuer, as applicable, which shall be determined by the Borrower, the lenders of such commitments and the applicable letter of credit issuers and swingline lenders and borrowing, repayment and termination of commitment procedures with respect thereto, in each case which shall be specified in the applicable Incremental Agreement) to the terms relating to the Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit with respect to the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (E) may otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of the Revolving Credit Facility; provided that (x) except with respect to matters contemplated by clauses (B), (C), (D) and (E) above, any differences shall be, at the option of the Borrower, either (i) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (except for covenants and other provisions or requirements applicable only to the periods after the Latest Maturity Date), (ii) consistent with market terms and conditions, when taken as a whole, at the time of the Incurrence or effectiveness of such Incremental Facility (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) or (iii) not be materially more restrictive on the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the terms of this Agreement, when taken as a whole and (y) the documentation governing any Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments may include any Previously Absent Covenant so long as the Administrative Agent shall have been given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such Previously Absent Covenant for the benefit of each Credit Facility (provided, further, however, that, if the applicable Previously Absent Covenant is a “springing” financial maintenance covenant for the benefit of such revolving credit facility or covenant only applicable to, or for the benefit of, a revolving credit facility, the Previously Absent Covenant shall be automatically included in this Agreement only for the benefit of each revolving credit facility hereunder (and not for the benefit of any term loan facility hereunder)).

(d)Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be given in writing and shall set forth the requested amount, currency types and denominations and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases or Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments may be provided, subject to the prior written consent

-115-

of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender with an Initial Term Loan Commitment will have an obligation to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan, no existing Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment will have any obligation to provide a portion of any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and no existing Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment will have an obligation to provide a portion of any Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment) or by any other bank, financial institution, other institutional lender or other investor (any such other bank, financial institution or other investor being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases or such Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 13.6(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender; provided, further, that, solely with respect to any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases, the Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to any Additional Lender’s providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 13.6(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Lender.

(e)Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Agreement”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, and each Additional Lender, if any, so long as any Additional Lender shall have complied with the provisions of Section 13.6(b)(ii)(C) and delivered such forms to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have received prior notice of the proposed execution of such Incremental Agreement; provided that, except as specifically set forth in Section 2.14(d), the Administrative Agent shall not otherwise be required to execute any Incremental Agreement unless such Incremental Agreement would affect the Credit Documents in a manner that would require the consent of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.1(iv) or pursuant to clause (x)(1) of the proviso to Section 2.14(c)(i) or clause (x)(1) of the proviso to Section 2.14(c)(iii). The Incremental Agreement may, subject to Section 2.14(c), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section (including (i) in connection with an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, to reallocate Revolving Credit Exposure on a pro rata basis among the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders, (ii) in connection with Classes of Incremental Term Loans, to extend the Prepayment Premium Period for the benefit of any existing Class of Term Loans to the extent that such Class of Incremental Term Loans shall have the benefit of such longer Prepayment Premium Period, (iii) to increase the Effective Yield of the applicable Class of Term Loans, or make other changes to any applicable Class of Term Loans that are favorable to the Lenders thereof, in any such case to the extent necessary in order to ensure that any applicable Class of Incremental Term Loans are “fungible” with any applicable existing Class of Term Loans, (iv) to add mechanics to allow for the accrual and payment of payment in kind interest in respect of any such additional Class of Incremental Term Loans and to add any “AHYDO” payment provisions related thereto, (v) to add or extend, in either case, any other “call protection” for the benefit of any applicable existing Class of Term Loans and/or (vi) in connection with any Incurrence of any Incremental Facility denominated in a currency other than Dollars, to add interest rate definitions and other currency provisions that are customarily included in agreements contemplating Borrowings or the execution of credit documents in any such currency. The effectiveness of any Incremental Agreement (an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) and the occurrence of any Credit Event pursuant to such Incremental Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement; provided, however, that the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans Incurred, and any Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments provided, in either case as described in the proviso to Section 2.14(b), shall be used in accordance with the terms thereof.

-116-

(f)(i) No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases or Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments unless it so agrees and the Borrower shall not be obligated to offer any existing Lender the opportunity to provide any Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases or Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments.

(ii)Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class pursuant to this Section, each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (each, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving pro forma effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (A) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class (including each such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class of all Lenders represented by such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class. If, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Credit Loans of such Class outstanding, such Revolving Credit Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Credit Loans of such Class being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.11. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(g)This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.7 or 13.1 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any provisions of this Section 2.14 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided no such amendment shall require any Lender to provide any Incremental Commitment without such Lender’s consent

2.15Extensions of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments and Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Loans and Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a)The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of each Term Loan of any Class (an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be converted or exchanged to extend the scheduled final maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans or to make any other changes to the terms of such Term Loans (excluding any changes to the guarantees, Collateral or payment or lien priority (unless such change is to make such payment or lien priority junior to the Existing Term Loan Class and in such case a Customary Intercreditor Agreement or subordination agreement shall be entered into)(any such Term Loans which have been so extended or changed, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.15. Prior to entering into any Extension Agreement with respect to any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Class, with such request offered equally and on the same terms and conditions to all such Lenders of such Existing Term Loan Class) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be similar to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class from which they are to be extended or changed except that (w) the scheduled final maturity date may be extended or changed and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of all or a portion of any principal amount of such Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.5 or in the Extension Agreement or the Incremental Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the

-117-

Existing Term Loan Class of Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were extended or changed, in each case as more particularly set forth in Section 2.15(d) below), (x)(A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment terms and premiums with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than those for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Agreement, (y) subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, the Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) and mandatory prepayment terms as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and (z) the Extension Agreement may provide for other covenants and terms. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class of Term Loans from which they were extended or changed.

(b)The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class, the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class and/or any Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments (and, in each case, including any previously extended Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments), existing at the time of such request or to make any other changes to the terms of such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and related Loans (each, an “Existing Revolving Credit Commitment” and any related revolving credit loans under any such facility, “Existing Revolving Credit Loans”; each Existing Revolving Credit Commitment and related Existing Revolving Credit Loans together being referred to as an “Existing Revolving Credit Class”) be converted or exchanged to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Existing Revolving Credit Loans related to such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments or to make any other changes to the terms of such Existing Revolving Credit Commitment and related Loans (any such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” and any related revolving credit loans, “Extended Revolving Credit Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.15. Prior to entering into any Extension Agreement with respect to any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class of Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, with such request offered equally to all Lenders of such Class) (a “Revolving Credit Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established thereunder, which terms shall be similar to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments from which they are to be extended or changed (the “Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class”) except that (w) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be extended or changed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class, (x)(A) the interest rates, interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment terms and premiums with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be different than those for the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and (y)(1) the undrawn revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be different than those for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class and (2) the Extension Agreement may provide for other covenants and terms; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15, Section 5.2(e) or otherwise, (I) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of the Extended Revolving Credit Loans under any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with any borrowings and repayments of the Existing Revolving Credit Loans of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Extension Agreement and may include technical changes related to the borrowing and repayment procedures of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class), (II) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the assignment and participation provisions set forth in Section 13.6 and (III) subject to the

-118-

applicable limitations set forth in Section 4.2 and Section 5.2(e)(ii), permanent repayments of Extended Revolving Credit Loans (and corresponding permanent reductions in the related Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be permitted as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of any Existing Revolving Credit Class converted or exchanged into Extended Revolving Credit Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class and from any other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so established on such date).

(c)The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Class are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purpose of this Section 2.15. The Borrower may, at its election, specify as a condition to consummating any Extension Agreement that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Request in the Borrower’s sole discretion and as may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments or Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments (or any earlier Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) of an Existing Class subject to such Extension Request converted or exchanged into Extended Loans/Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments (and/or any earlier Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) which it has elected to convert or exchange into Extended Loans/Commitments (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments and Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments (and any earlier extended Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Loans/Commitments requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments or earlier extended Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to or exchanged to Extended Loans/Commitments on a pro rata basis (subject to such rounding requirements as may be established by the Administrative Agent) based on the amount of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments and earlier extended Extended Revolving Credit Commitments included in each such Extension Election or as may be otherwise agreed to in the applicable Extension Agreement. Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Revolving Credit Commitment into an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, unless expressly agreed by the holders of each affected Existing Revolving Credit Commitment of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class, such Extended Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be treated more favorably than all Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class for purposes of the obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender in respect of Swingline Loans under Section 2.1(d) and Letters of Credit under Section 3, except that the applicable Extension Agreement may provide that the Swingline Maturity Date and/or the last day for issuing Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued (pursuant to mechanics to be specified in the applicable Extension Agreement) so long as the Swingline Lender and/or each applicable Letter of Credit Issuer have consented to such extensions (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).

(d)Extended Loans/Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Agreement”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.15(d) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 13.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Loans/Commitments established thereby) executed by the Credit Parties, the Extending Lenders and the Administrative Agent. In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by this Section 2.15(d), each Extension Agreement in

-119-

respect of Extended Term Loans shall, to the extent applicable, amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.5 or the applicable Incremental Agreement or Extension Agreement with respect to the Existing Class of Term Loans from which the Extended Term Loans were exchanged to reduce each scheduled Repayment Amount for the Existing Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Class is to be reduced pursuant to such Extension Agreement (it being understood that the amount of any Repayment Amount payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof). In connection with any Extension Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Extending Lenders (i) as to the enforceability of such Extension Agreement, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Credit Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby (in the case of such other Credit Documents as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence) and covering customary matters and (ii) to the effect that such Extension Agreement, including the Extended Loans/Commitments provided for therein, does not breach or result in a default under the provisions of Section 13.1 of this Agreement.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Term Loan Class or Class of Existing Revolving Credit Commitments is converted or exchanged to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with paragraph (a) above (an “Extension Date”), (I) in the case of the existing Term Loans of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted or exchanged by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Term Loans (together with any other Extended Term Loans so established on such date), and (II) in the case of the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of each Extending Lender under any Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class, the aggregate principal amount of such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so converted or exchanged by such Lender on such date (or by any greater amount as may be agreed by the Borrower and such Lender), and such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class and from any other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so established on such date) and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Existing Revolving Credit Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class, such Existing Revolving Credit Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be converted or exchanged to Extended Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) of the applicable Class in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class.

(f)In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans of a given Extension Series or the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Extension Series, in each case to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error in the receipt and processing of an Extension Election timely submitted by such Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Extension Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Agreement”) within 15 days following the effective date of such Extension Agreement, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Agreement shall (i) provide for the conversion or exchange and extension of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class or Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (and related Revolving Credit Exposure), as the case may be, in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related revolving credit exposure) of the applicable Extension Series into which such other Term Loans or commitments were initially converted or exchanged, as the case may be, in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans or Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension Agreement, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree (including conditions of the type required to be satisfied for the effectiveness of an Extension Agreement described in Section 2.15(d)), and (iii) effect such other

-120-

amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.15(d).

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

(h)This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.4 or Section 13.1 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.15 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such amendment shall require any Lender to provide any Extended Loans/Commitments without such Lender’s consent.

2.16Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(a);

(b)the Commitment of and the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 13.1); provided that (i) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender;

(c)if any Swingline Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then (i) all or any part of such Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender and such Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (A) each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure may not in any event exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B) subject to Section 13.21, neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender, (ii) to the extent that all or any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Exposure cannot, or can only partially, be so reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders, whether by reason of the first proviso in Section 2.16(c)(i) above or otherwise, the Borrower shall within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) and (y) second, Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving pro forma effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above), in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8 for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding, (iii) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to the requirements of this Section 2.16(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized, (iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to the requirements of this Section 2.16(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.1(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period that such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is reallocated, or (v) if any Defaulting

-121-

Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to the requirements of this Section 2.16(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 4.1(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer until such Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated;

(d)(i) the Letter of Credit Issuers will not be required to issue any new Letter of Credit or amend any outstanding Letter of Credit to increase the face amount thereof, alter the drawing terms thereunder or extend the expiry date thereof, unless such Letter of Credit Issuer is reasonably satisfied that any exposure that would result from the exposure to such Defaulting Lender is eliminated or fully covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders or by Cash Collateralization or a combination thereof in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.16(c) above or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer; and

(ii) the Swingline Lender will be not required to fund any Swingline Loans unless the Swingline Lender is reasonably satisfied that any exposure that would result from the exposure to such Defaulting Lender is eliminated or fully covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders or a combination thereof in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.16(c) above.

(e)If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each applicable Letter of Credit Issuer agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon, as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Revolving Credit Lenders (including such Lender) in accordance with their applicable percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender and any applicable Cash Collateral shall be promptly returned to the Borrower and any Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Exposure of such Lender reallocated pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.16(c) shall be reallocated back to such Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to NonDefaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender; and

(f)Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.8), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, in the case of a Revolving Credit Lender, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize, in accordance with Section 3.8, the Letter of Credit Issuer’s potential future fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or any of its

-122-

Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any Secured Hedging Agreement with such Defaulting Lender as certified by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Defaulting Lender) prior to such date of payment; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or a payment of any Unpaid Drawings, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant Loans of, and Unpaid Drawings owed to, the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied in the manner set forth in this Section 2.16(f). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.8 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

2.17Term Loan Exchange Notes.

(a)The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to offer (each, a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”) to issue to Lenders holding Term Loans under this Agreement first priority senior secured notes and/or junior lien secured notes and/or unsecured notes (the “Term Loan Exchange Notes”) in exchange for the Term Loans (each such exchange, a “Permitted Debt Exchange”); provided that such Term Loan Exchange Notes may not be in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value) greater than the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans being exchanged plus unpaid accrued interest, fees and premiums (including tender premiums) (if any) thereon, defeasance costs, underwriting discounts and fees, commissions and expenses (including OID, closing payments, upfront fees or similar fees) in connection with the issuance of the Term Loan Exchange Notes plus additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 10.1. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Term Loan Exchange Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Term Loan Exchange Notes shall be issued, which shall be a date not less than fifteen days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent); provided that: (w) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Term Loan Exchange Notes shall be equal to or greater than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans being exchanged (provided that the foregoing requirements of this clause (ii) shall not apply to the extent such Indebtedness (A) is subject to Customary Escrow Provisions or constitutes a customary bridge facility, so long as the Indebtedness that is released from escrow or the long-term Indebtedness into which any such customary bridge facility is to be converted or exchanged, as applicable, otherwise satisfies the requirements of this clause (ii) and such conversion or exchange is subject only to conditions customary for similar conversions or exchanges, (B) constitutes customary term loan “A” facilities provided by commercial banks or similar financial institutions (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) or (C) is Incurred in connection with an Acquisition, Investment or other similar transaction) (it being understood that acceleration or mandatory repayment, prepayment, redemption or repurchase of such Term Loan Exchange Notes upon the occurrence of an event of default, a change in control, an event of loss or an asset disposition shall not be deemed to constitute a change in the stated final maturity thereof); (x) if secured, such Term Loan Exchange Notes shall rank equal to or junior in right of payment and of security with the Loans and Commitments being exchanged hereunder; (y) all other terms and conditions (other than interest rates (including through fixed interest rates or payment-in-kind interest), interest rate margins, rate floors, fees, AHYDO Catch-Up Payments, funding discounts, original issue discounts, closing payments, maturity, currency types and denominations, and redemption or prepayment terms and premiums) applicable to such Term Loan Exchange Notes shall reflect market terms and conditions, when taken as a whole, at the time of Incurrence (as determined in good faith by the Borrower or not materially more restrictive on the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the terms of this Agreement, when taken as a whole); provided that the Term Loan Exchange Notes may have the benefit of any Previously Absent Covenant if the Administrative Agent has been given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement shall have been amended to include such Previously Absent Covenant; and (z) the obligations in respect of the Term Loan Exchange Notes (A) shall not be secured by Liens on any asset of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries other than assets constituting Collateral, (B) if such Term Loan Exchange Notes are secured, the Liens on Collateral securing such Term Loan Exchange Notes shall rank equal in priority (but without regard to the control of remedies) with, or junior in priority to, the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations and all security therefor shall be granted pursuant to documentation that is not more restrictive than the Security Documents in any

-123-

material respect taken as a whole (as determined by the Borrower) and the representative for such Term Loan Exchange Notes shall enter into a Customary Intercreditor Agreement (it being understood that junior Liens are not required to be equal to other junior Liens, and that Indebtedness secured by junior Liens may be secured by Liens that are equal to, or junior in priority to, other Liens that are junior to the Liens securing the Obligations), or (C) shall not be incurred or guaranteed by any Restricted Subsidiary unless such Restricted Subsidiary is a Credit Party which shall have previously or substantially concurrently guaranteed or borrowed such Term Loans being exchanged.

(b)The Borrower shall offer to issue Term Loan Exchange Notes in exchange for the Class of Term Loans to all Lenders holding such Class of Term Loans (other than any Lender that, if requested by the Borrower, is unable to certify that it is (i) a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), (ii) an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act) or (iii) not a “U.S. person” (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) on a pro rata basis, and such Lenders may choose to accept or decline to receive such Term Loan Exchange Notes in their sole discretion. Any such Term Loans exchanged for Term Loan Exchange Notes shall be automatically and immediately, without further action by any Person, cancelled on the Term Loan Exchange Effective Date for all purposes of this Agreement (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the Borrower for immediate cancellation), and accrued and unpaid interest on such Term Loans shall be paid to the exchanging Lenders on the Term Loan Exchange Effective Date, or, if agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the next scheduled date interest is due with respect to such Term Loans (with such interest accruing until the date of consummation of such Permitted Debt Exchange).

(c)If the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) of a given Class tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof of the applicable Class actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Class offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower shall exchange Term Loans under the relevant Class tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, or, if such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall have been made with respect to multiple Classes without specifying a maximum aggregate principal amount offered to be exchanged for each Class, and the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Classes tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of all relevant Classes offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower shall exchange Term Loans across all Classes subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered.

(d)With respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17, unless waived by the Borrower, such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made for not less than $50,000,000 (or, in the case of Term Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, €50,000,000, CAN$50,000,000, £50,000,000 or A$50,000,000, or like amount in any other Alternative Currency, as applicable) in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans; provided that subject to the foregoing the Borrower may at its election specify (A) as a condition (a “Minimum Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes be tendered and/or (B) as a condition (a “Maximum Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that no more than a maximum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes will be accepted for exchange. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that this Section 2.17 shall supersede any provisions of Section 2.5, Section 5 and Section 13.1 to the contrary, waive the requirements of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit the Incurrence of any Indebtedness expressly provided for by this

-124-

Section 2.17 and hereby agree not to assert any Default or Event of Default in connection with the implementation of any such Permitted Debt Exchange or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.17.

(e)In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.17; provided that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that the date by which the relevant Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than five Business Days following the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is made. The Borrower shall provide the final results of such Permitted Debt Exchange to the Administrative Agent no later than one Business Day prior to the proposed date of effectiveness for such Permitted Debt Exchange and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such results.

(f)The Borrower shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agrees to comply with, all applicable securities and other laws in connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, it being understood and agreed that (x) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility in connection with the Borrower’s compliance with such laws in connection with any Permitted Debt Exchange and (y) each Lender shall be solely responsible for its compliance with any applicable “xxxxxxx xxxxxxx” laws and regulations to which such Lender may be subject under the Exchange Act.

(a)Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, each Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to issue (or cause its Affiliates or other financial institution with which the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have entered into an agreement regarding the issuance of letters of credit hereunder, to issue on its behalf), upon the request of and for the account of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”) in such form as may be approved by such Letter of Credit Issuer in its reasonable discretion; provided that the Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and be jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary. All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Obligations at such time, would exceed the Letter of Credit Sub-Commitment then in effect, (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Obligations and the Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans outstanding at such time, would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, (iii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect to such issuance any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the sum of the Letter of Credit Obligations and the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at such time, would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, (iv) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date occurring no later than the earlier of (x) one year after the date of issuance thereof, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer or as provided under Section 3.2(e), and (y) the Letter of Credit Maturity Date, (v) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, (vi) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if it would be illegal under any Applicable Law for the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit to have a Letter of Credit issued in its favor, (vii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued after the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer has received a written notice from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent stating that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing until such time as such Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or (y) the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1 or that such Default or Event of Default is no longer continuing and (viii) unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, no Letter of Credit shall be required to be issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer the Stated Amount of which, when added to

-125-

the Stated Amount of all other Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer at such time, would exceed such Letter of Credit Issuer’s Letter of Credit Sub-Commitment Obligation.

(c)In connection with the establishment of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments and subject to the availability of unused Commitments with respect to such newly established Class and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7, the Borrower may, with the written consent of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, designate any outstanding Letter of Credit to be a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to such Class of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable. Upon such designation such Letter of Credit shall no longer be deemed to be issued and outstanding under such prior Class and shall instead be deemed to be issued and outstanding under such newly established Class of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable.

(d)On the Closing Date, without further action by any party hereto (including the delivery of a Letter of Credit Request or any consent of, or confirmation by or to, the Administrative Agent), subject to the terms of this Section 3, (i) each Existing Letter of Credit set forth on Schedule 1.1(b) hereto issued by a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder shall become a Letter of Credit outstanding under this Agreement, shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement and shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including Section 4.1) as if each such Letter of Credit was issued by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Agreement (provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any such Existing Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to be a co-applicant, and shall be jointly and severally liable, with respect to each such Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Co-Borrower) and (ii) each Letter of Credit Issuer that has issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have granted each Letter of Credit Participant in respect thereof and each Letter of Credit Participant in respect thereof shall be deemed to have acquired from such Letter of Credit Issuer, on the terms and conditions of Section 3.3 hereof, for such Letter of Credit Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided participation interest in such Letter of Credit Issuer’s obligations and rights under each such Existing Letter of Credit equal to such Letter of Credit Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of (A) the outstanding amount available to be drawn under such Existing Letter of Credit and (B) the aggregate amount of any outstanding reimbursement obligations in respect thereof.

3.2Letter of Credit Requests.

(a)Whenever the Borrower (or the Borrower on behalf of any of its Restricted Subsidiary) desires that a Letter of Credit be issued (or amended, renewed or extended), it shall give the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer a Letter of Credit Request by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) (i) at least three (or such lesser number as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension for any Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor (provided that such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have also signed the applicable Letter of Credit Request), (ii) at least five (or such lesser number as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension for any Letter of Credit for the account of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Credit Party and (iii) at least ten (or such lesser number as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and such Letter of Credit Issuer) Business Days prior to the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension for any Letter of Credit for the account of any Foreign Restricted Subsidiary. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by the Borrower and sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the Letter of Credit Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b)In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the Stated Amount and the currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof (which shall be not later than the earlier of (x) one year after the date of issuance thereof, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer or as provided under Section 3.2(e), and (y) the Letter of Credit Maturity Date); (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case

-126-

of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder and (G) such other matters as the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify: (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require.

(c)Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent in writing that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower and, if not, the Letter of Credit Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer has received written notice from the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or any other Credit Party at least two Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 7 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof.

(d)The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.1(b).

(e)If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer may agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Letter of Credit Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Maturity Date; provided, however, that such Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such Letter of Credit Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 3.1(b) or otherwise), or (B) it has received written notice on or before the day that is ten Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Credit Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such extension.

(f)Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment, renewal or extension to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, such Letter of Credit Issuer will notify the Administrative Agent of such delivery, amendment, renewal or extension and will also deliver to the Borrower a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal or extension. On the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, each Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide the Administrative Agent a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time.

3.3Letter of Credit Participations.

(a)Immediately upon the issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Revolving Credit Lender (each such Revolving Credit Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3(a), a “Letter of Credit Participant”), and each such Letter of Credit Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from

-127-

the Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each, a “Letter of Credit Participation”), to the extent of such Letter of Credit Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each substitute letter of credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto (although Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Letter of Credit Participants as provided in Section 4.1(c) and the Letter of Credit Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any fees paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder).

(b)In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation relative to the applicable Letter of Credit Participants other than to confirm to the Administrative Agent that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not create for such Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

(c)Whenever the Administrative Agent receives a payment in respect of an unpaid reimbursement obligation for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each applicable Letter of Credit Participant that has paid its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such reimbursement obligation, in Dollars (or, in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Alternative Currency) and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Letter of Credit Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded or deposited by such Letter of Credit Participant to the aggregate amount funded or deposited by all Letter of Credit Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective Letter of Credit Participations; provided that the amount paid to any Letter of Credit Participant shall not exceed the amount funded or deposited by such Letter of Credit Participant.

(d)The obligations of the Letter of Credit Participants to purchase Letter of Credit Participations from the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including under any of the following circumstances:

(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii)the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated hereby or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(iii)any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv)the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents;

(v)the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or

-128-

(vi)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party or Restricted Subsidiary.

3.4Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

(a)The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer in Dollars (or, in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Alternative Currency) with respect to any drawing under any Letter of Credit, by making payment, whether with its own funds, with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans or any other source, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer in immediately available funds, for any payment or disbursement made by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued by it (with respect to each such amount so paid under a Letter of Credit until reimbursed, a “Unpaid Drawing”) (i) within one Business Day of the date of such payment or disbursement (or within two Business Days from such date of payment or disbursement, if the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of the applicable Class of Lenders equals the Total Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class of Lenders on the date of payment or disbursement), if the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer provides notice to the Borrower of such payment or disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such next succeeding Business Day after the date of such payment or disbursement or (ii) if such notice is received after such time, on the next Business Day from the receipt of such notice (or within two Business Days from the receipt of such notice, if the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of the applicable Class of Lenders equals the Total Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class of Lenders on the date of payment or disbursement) following the date of receipt of such notice (such required date for reimbursement under clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, (the “Required Reimbursement Date”), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Letter of Credit Issuer, from and including the date of such payment or disbursement to but excluding the Required Reimbursement Date, at the per annum rate for each day equal to the rate described in Section 2.8(a); provided that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Letter of Credit, (i) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Required Reimbursement Date that the Borrower intend to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing requesting that the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments make Revolving Credit Loans (which shall be ABR Loans) on the Required Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Letter of Credit Participant of such drawing and the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each Letter of Credit Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrower in the manner deemed to have been requested in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such Required Reimbursement Date by making the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent. Such Revolving Credit Loans made in respect of such Unpaid Drawing on such Required Reimbursement Date shall be made without regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount and without regard to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7. The Administrative Agent shall use the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans solely for the purpose of reimbursing the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer for the related Unpaid Drawing. If and to the extent such Letter of Credit Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, or that in the sole judgment of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, such Revolving Credit Loan cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law in respect of the Borrower), each Letter of Credit Participant hereby agrees that its participation in such Unpaid Drawing shall remain outstanding in lieu of funding its portion of such Revolving Credit Loan and such Letter of Credit Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing. The failure of any Letter of Credit Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Letter of Credit Participant of its obligation

-129-

hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Letter of Credit Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Letter of Credit Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Letter of Credit Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any such payment.

(b)The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.4 to reimburse the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against such Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including in its capacity as a Letter of Credit Participant), including any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each, a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse a Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under the Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer as determined in the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

3.5Increased Costs. If a Change in Law shall either (a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by a Letter of Credit Issuer, or any Letter of Credit Participant’s Letter of Credit Participation therein, (b) subject any Letter of Credit Issuer to any Tax (other than (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4 and (ii) Excluded Taxes) in respect of Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Participations therein or (c) impose on such Letter of Credit Issuer or any Letter of Credit Participant any other conditions affecting its obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Letter of Credit Issuer’s Letters of Credit (other than Taxes) or such Lender’s Letter of Credit Participations therein (other than Taxes), and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit by an amount which such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender reasonably deems material, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender hereunder then, promptly after receipt of written demand to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Letter of Credit Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Letter of Credit Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Letter of Credit Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Letter of Credit Participant for such increased cost or reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Letter of Credit Issuer or a Letter of Credit Participant shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Person’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such Applicable Law that would have existed in the event that a Change in Law had not occurred. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer or a Letter of Credit Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Letter of Credit Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Letter of Credit Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall be entitled to seek compensation under this Section 3.5 based on the occurrence of a Change in Law arising solely from (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or (y) Basel III or any requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, unless such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer is generally seeking compensation from other borrowers in the U.S. leveraged loan market with respect to its similarly affected commitments, loans and/or participations under agreements with the such borrowers having provisions similar to this Section 3.5.

(a)Any Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as a Letter of Credit Issuer upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrower. Subject to the terms of the following sentence, the Borrower may replace any Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower may add Letter of Credit Issuers at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent and with the agreement of such new Letter of Credit Issuer. If a Letter of Credit Issuer shall resign or be replaced, or if the Borrower shall decide to add a new Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Borrower may appoint a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor issuer shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, and the term “Letter of Credit Issuer” shall mean such successor or such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment. At the time such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay to the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Sections 4.1(b) and 4.1(d). The acceptance of any appointment as a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, whether as a successor issuer or new issuer of Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become a “Letter of Credit Issuer” hereunder. After the resignation or replacement of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents 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 or amend or renew Existing Letters of Credit. In connection with any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case of any such resignation, only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have been appointed), either (i) the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to have any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrower shall cause the successor issuer of Letters of Credit, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer, to issue “back-stop” Letters of Credit naming the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, which new Letters of Credit shall have a face amount equal to the Letters of Credit being back-stopped, and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on the corresponding back-stopped Letters of Credit. After any resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer’s resignation or replacement as Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this Agreement relating to a Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A) while it was a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (B) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b)To the extent that there are, at the time of any resignation or replacement as set forth in clause (a) above, any outstanding Letters of Credit, nothing herein shall be deemed to impact or impair any rights and obligations of any of the parties hereto with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit (including any obligations related to the payment of fees or the reimbursement or funding of amounts drawn), except that the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have the obligations regarding outstanding Letters of Credit described in clause (a) above.

3.7Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Revolving Credit Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Related Party of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates or any correspondent, participant or assignee of the applicable

-131-

Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Related Party of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates or any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.3(d); provided that anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower caused by such Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable order). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

3.8Cash Collateral.

(a)If, as of the Letter of Credit Maturity Date, there are any Letter of Credit Obligations, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event not later than the following Business Day) Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations that for any reason remain outstanding. Section 2.16 and Section 5.2 set forth certain additional circumstances under which Cash Collateral may be, or is required to be, delivered hereunder.

(b)If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders may require that the Letter of Credit Obligations be Cash Collateralized; provided that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in Section 11.5, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit then outstanding and no notice or request by or consent from the Required Lenders shall be required.

(c)For purposes of this Agreement, “Cash Collateralize” or “Cash Collateralization” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations cash or deposit account balances (“Cash Collateral”) in an amount equal to 100% of the amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations required to be Cash Collateralized pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving Credit Lenders). Derivatives of such terms have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Letter of Credit Participants, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer or the Letter of Credit Participants, other than any Liens permitted under Section 10.2, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the amount required to be delivered as described above, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Collateral Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked,

-132-

interest bearing deposit accounts with the Collateral Agent or any unaffiliated financial institution designated by the Collateral Agent.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein, any interest accrued on such obligation and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(e)Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce or secure any obligations herein shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable obligation giving rise thereto or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however that (x) any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Credit Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Credit Documents, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support anticipated obligations.

3.9Existing Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Existing Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the Closing Date, listed on Schedule 1.1(b) shall, effective as of the Closing Date and without any further action by any Borrower, be continued as a Letter of Credit hereunder, from and after the Closing Date be deemed a Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof and be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

3.10Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

3.11Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries.

3.12Other.

(a)No Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

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

(c)Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith and such Letter of Credit Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 12 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 12 included such Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Letter of Credit Issuer.

Each such Commitment Fee shall be payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (for the three-month period (or portion thereof) ended on such day for which no payment has been received) and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (for the period ended on such date for which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (x) above), and shall be computed for each day during such period at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day to be calculated based on the actual amount of the Available Revolving

-134-

(b)Without duplication, the Borrower agrees to pay directly to each Letter of Credit Issuer for its own account a fronting fee (the “Fronting Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer on the Borrower’s behalf, computed at the rate for each day for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding the termination or expiration date of such Letter of Credit equal to 0.125% per annum (or such other percentage per annum as may be agreed between the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower), times the actual daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit.

(b)Upon at least one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Letter of Credit Sub-Commitment, in whole or in part, with, if applicable, each Letter of Credit Issuer’s Letter of Credit Sub-Commitment being reduced on a pro rata basis; provided that, after giving pro forma effect to such termination or reduction, the Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sub-Commitment.

-138-

Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, as such ratio is calculated as of the last day of the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the date the Net Cash Proceeds are required to be offered, is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 but greater than 3.50 to 1.00 and (B) no payment of any Term Loans shall be required to be offered under this Section 5.2(a)(i) if the Borrower’s Consolidated Secured Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, as such ratio is calculated as of the last day of the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the date the Net Cash Proceeds are required to be offered, is less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00.

but only to the extent that such Term Loans, Senior Secured Notes, Permitted Additional Debt, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, such Term Loan Exchange Notes or such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, as applicable, have been cancelled, except in the case of clauses (A)-(C) to the extent financed by the Incurrence of long term Indebtedness (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Indebtedness Incurred under a revolving credit facility Incurred as Permitted Additional Debt or otherwise Incurred under Section 2.14) by, or the issuance of Capital Stock by, or the making of capital contributions to, any member of the Restricted Group or using the proceeds of any Disposition outside the ordinary course of business and (D) the aggregate amount of Additional ECF Reduction Amounts, in each case during such fiscal year or after year-end and prior to the time such prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.2(a)(ii) is due and (E) without duplication, to the extent that the amount of payments described in clauses (A) through (D) above would exceed the amount calculated pursuant to clause (x) above for any fiscal year, the amount of such excess shall, at the Borrower’s option, be carried forward to the next fiscal year (and not any subsequent fiscal year) and may be used as a credit against the amount calculated pursuant to clause (x) above in such fiscal year (any payments described in the foregoing clauses (A) through (D) of this clause (y) made after the end of the applicable fiscal year but prior to the time such prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.2(a)(ii) is due in respect of such fiscal year, an “After Year End Payment”); provided, that, in the case that Excess Cash Flow is required to be offered to prepay any Term Loans, the Borrower may use cash in an amount not to exceed the amount of such Excess Cash Flow required to be offered to prepay the Term Loans to prepay, redeem, defease, acquire, repurchase or make a similar payment to any Permitted Equal Priority Refinancing Debt, any Permitted Additional Debt or Term Loan Exchange Notes secured by a Lien on the Collateral that ranks equal in priority to the Liens on such Collateral securing the Obligations (but without regard to the control of remedies), in each case the documentation with respect to which requires the issuer or borrower under such Indebtedness to prepay or make an offer to prepay, redeem, repurchase, defease, acquire or satisfy and

-139-

discharge such Indebtedness with a percentage of Excess Cash Flow, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (1) the amount of such Excess Cash Flow required to be offered to prepay the Term Loans multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Permitted Equal Priority Refinancing Debt, Permitted Additional Debt or Term Loan Exchange Notes secured by a Lien on the Collateral that ranks equal in priority to the Liens on such Collateral securing the Obligations (but without regard to the control of remedies) and with respect to which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to prepay, redeem, repurchase, defease, acquire or satisfy and discharge exists and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Permitted Equal Priority Refinancing Debt, Permitted Additional Debt and Term Loan Exchange Notes and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans; provided, further, that (A) the percentage in Section 5.2(a)(ii)(x) shall be reduced to 25.0% if the Borrower’s Consolidated Secured Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio for the fiscal year ended prior to such prepayment date is less than or equal to 2.90:1.00 but greater than 2.40:1.00 and (B) no payment of any Term Loans shall be required to be offered under this Section 5.2(a)(ii) if the Consolidated Secured Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio for the fiscal year ended prior to such prepayment date is less than or equal to 2.40:1.00. Following the making of any After Year End Payment, (i) the Consolidated Secured Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio shall be recalculated giving pro forma effect to any such After Year End Payment as if such payment were made during the applicable fiscal year and the percentage in this Section 5.2(a)(ii) for purposes of making such Excess Cash Flow prepayment shall be determined by reference to such recalculated Consolidated Secured Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, and (ii) any amounts (including any After Year End Payments). Subject to clause (E) above, any prepayment amounts credited pursuant to subclause (y) above against such amount in subclause (x) above shall be without duplication of any such credit in any prior or subsequent fiscal year.

(b)Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. If, on any date, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures in respect of any Class of Revolving Credit Loans (calculated, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Exposures denominated in an Alternative Currency, at the Dollar Equivalent thereof as of the most recent Revaluation Date) for any reason exceeds 100.0% of the Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall forthwith repay on such date the principal amount of Swingline Loans of such Class, and after all such Swingline Loans have been paid in full, the Revolving Credit Loans of such Class in an amount equal to such excess; provided that, if such excess results from fluctuations in the Dollar Equivalent of Revolving Credit Loans and/or Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency and such excess exceeds 5.0% of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments at such time, such obligation to repay Loans and Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit shall not be effective until five (5) Business Days after the date (or, solely in the case of the occurrence of a Revaluation Date resulting from a notice by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (a)(iv) or (b)(vi) of the definition of “Revaluation Date”, five (5) Business days after the date of receipt by the Borrower of such notice from the Administrative Agent) such excess first commenced in an amount greater than 5.0% of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments (and shall not be required to the extent such excess has ceased to exist as a result of fluctuations in currency values). If, after giving pro forma effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Credit Loans of such Class, the Revolving Credit Exposures of such Class exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit outstanding in relation to such Class to the extent of such excess.

(c)Application to Repayment Amounts.

(i)Subject to clause (ii) of this Section 5.2(c), the first proviso to Section 5.2(a)(i) and the penultimate proviso to Section 5.2(a)(ii), (A) each prepayment of Term Loans required by Sections 5.2(a)(i) and (ii) (other than in connection with a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event) shall be allocated to the Classes of Term Loans outstanding, pro rata, based upon the applicable remaining Repayment Amounts due in respect of each such Class of Term Loans (excluding any Class of Term Loans that has agreed to receive a less than pro rata share of any such mandatory prepayment and taking into account any reduction in the amount of any required Excess Cash Flow payment to any Class of Term Loans that have been subject to a Section 13.6(g) transaction), shall be applied pro rata to Lenders within each Class, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Lender under each such Class of Term Loans and shall be applied to reduce such scheduled Repayment Amounts within each such Class in accordance with Section 5.2(d)(ii) and (B) each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(a)(i) in connection with a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event (other than a Specified Debt Incurrence

-140-

Prepayment Event), shall be allocated to each Class of Term Loans outstanding on a pro rata basis and shall be applied to reduce scheduled Repayment Amounts within each such Class in accordance with Section 5.2(d)(ii) and (C) each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(a)(i) in connection with a Specified Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event shall be allocated to any Class of Term Loans outstanding as directed by the Borrower and shall be applied to reduce scheduled Repayment Amounts within each such Class in accordance with Section 5.2(d)(i); provided that, with respect to the allocation of such prepayments under clause (A) above only, between an Existing Term Loan Class and Extended Term Loans of the same Extension Series, the Borrower may allocate such prepayments as the Borrower may specify, subject to the limitation that the Borrower shall not allocate to Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series any such mandatory prepayment under such clause (A) unless such prepayment is accompanied by at least a pro rata prepayment, based upon the applicable remaining Repayment Amounts due in respect thereof, of the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class, if any, from which such Extended Term Loans were converted or exchanged (or such Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class have otherwise been repaid in full).

(ii)With respect to each such prepayment required by Section 5.2(a)(i) and Section 5.2(a)(ii) (other than any Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event), (A) the Borrower will, not later than the date specified in Section 5.2(a) for offering to make such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent, written notice requesting that the Administrative Agent provide notice of such prepayment to each Lender and the Administrative Agent will promptly provide such notice to each Lender, (B) other than if such prepayment arises due to a Specified Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event, each Lender of Term Loans will have the right to refuse any such prepayment by giving written notice of such refusal to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower within three Business Days after such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of such prepayment, and to the extent any such prepayment is so refused, such amounts may be retained by the Borrower (the “Retained Refused Proceeds”) and (C) the Borrower will make all such prepayments not so refused upon the tenth Business Day after the Lender received first notice of repayment from the Administrative Agent.

(d)Application to Term Loans.

(i)With respect to each prepayment of Term Loans elected by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1 or pursuant to a Specified Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event, such prepayments shall be applied to reduce Repayment Amounts in such order as the Borrower may specify (or, if not specified, in direct order of maturity) and the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made; provided that the Borrower pays any amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11 with respect to prepayments of Eurocurrency Loans made on any date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent, shall, subject to the above, make such designation in a manner that minimizes the amount of payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11.

(ii)With respect to each prepayment of Term Loans by the Borrower required pursuant to Section 5.2(a) (other than in respect of a Specified Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event), such prepayments shall be applied to reduce Repayment Amounts in direct order of maturity and on a pro rata basis among the then outstanding Classes of Term Loans (other than any Class of Term Loans that has agreed to receive a less than pro rata share of any such mandatory prepayment) being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans; provided that, if no Lender exercises the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 5.2(c)(ii), then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to Term Loans that are ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Term Loans that are Eurocurrency Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11.

(e)Application to Revolving Credit Loans; Mandatory Commitment Reduction.

(i)With respect to each prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Loans and Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Loans elected by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1 or required by Section 5.2(b), the Borrower may designate (i) the Class and Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the

-141-

specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such Loans were made and (ii) the Class of Revolving Credit Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Loans or Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid; provided that (x) Eurocurrency Loans may be designated for prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.2 only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurocurrency Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date of required prepayment and all ABR Loans have been paid in full; (y) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans of such Class (except that any prepayment made in connection with a reduction of the Commitments of such Class pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be applied pro rata based on the amount of the reduction in the Commitments of such Class of each applicable Lender); and (z) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (y), at the option of the Borrower, no prepayment made pursuant to Section 5.1 or Section 5.2(b) of Revolving Credit Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Loans or Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Loans of any Class shall be applied to the Loans of any Defaulting Lender. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11.

(ii)With respect to each mandatory reduction and termination of Revolving Credit Commitments, Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments (and any previously extended Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) required by either clause (i) or (ii) of the proviso to Section 2.14(b), by Section 10.1(u)(i) or in connection with the Incurrence of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance any Revolving Credit Commitments, Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower may designate (A) the Classes of Commitments to be reduced and terminated and (B) the corresponding Classes of Loans to be prepaid; provided that (x) any such reduction and termination shall apply proportionately and permanently to reduce the Commitments of each of the Lenders within any such Class and (y) after giving pro forma effect to such termination or reduction and to any prepayments of Loans or cancellation or cash collateralization of letters of credit made on the date of each such reduction and termination in accordance with this Agreement, the aggregate amount of such Lenders’ credit exposures shall not exceed the remaining Commitments of such Lenders’ in respect of the Class reduced and terminated. In connection with any such termination or reduction, to the extent necessary, the participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans may be required to be reallocated and related loans outstanding prepaid and then reborrowed, in each case in the manner contemplated by Section 2.14(f)(ii) (as modified to account for a termination or reduction, as opposed to an increase, of such Commitment).

(f)Eurocurrency Interest Periods. In lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 5.2 in respect of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower at its option may deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of the Eurocurrency Loan to be prepaid and such Eurocurrency Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the required amount. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a time deposit account established on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which account may, for the avoidance of doubt, be established at an unaffiliated financial institution. Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the Obligations; provided that the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 5.2.

(g)Minimum Amount.

(i)No prepayment shall be required pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i) (except to the extent such prepayment arises due to a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event) unless and until the amount at any time of Net Cash Proceeds from Prepayment Events required to be offered at or prior to such time pursuant to such Section and not yet offered at or prior to such time to prepay Term Loans pursuant to such Section exceeds (i) $55,000,000 for any single Prepayment Event or series of related Prepayment Events and (ii) $100,000,000 in the aggregate for all such Prepayment Events in any fiscal year, at which time the amount in excess of $55,000,000 or $100,000,000, as the case may be, will be offered to be prepaid as provided in Section 5.2(a)(i), with the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds being deemed for such purpose to be the date such thresholds set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this clause (g) are met.

-142-

(ii)No prepayment shall be required pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(ii) unless and until the amount of Excess Cash Flow required to be offered to prepay Term Loans for a fiscal year pursuant to such Section exceeds the greater of (x) $25,000,000 and (y) 3.5% of Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the Test Period ended on the last day of such fiscal year (measured as of such date) based upon the Internal Financial Statements most recently available on or prior to such date, at which time the amount in excess of the greater of (x) $25,000,000 and (y) 3.5% of Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the Test Period ended on the last day of such fiscal year (measured as of such date) based upon the Internal Financial Statements most recently available on or prior to such date, will be offered to be prepaid as provided in Section 5.2(a)(ii).

(h)Non-Credit Party or Non-Credit Party Asset Sales. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.2(h), to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any asset sale by a Non-Credit Party giving rise to an Asset Sale Prepayment Event (a “Non-Credit Party Asset Sale”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Recovery Event from a Non-Credit Party (a “Non-Credit Party Recovery Event”), or Excess Cash Flow, are prohibited, delayed or restricted by applicable local law, rule or regulation (including financial assistance and corporate benefit restrictions and statutory duties of the relevant directors) from being repatriated or expatriated to the United States or from being distributed to a Credit Party, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 5.2(h) but may be retained by the applicable Non-Credit Party, so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law, rule or regulation will not permit repatriation to the United States or expatriation or distribution to a Credit Party (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Non-Credit Party to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions available under applicable local law, rule or regulation to permit such repatriation, expatriation or distribution), and once such repatriation, expatriation or distribution of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, rule or regulation, such repatriation, expatriation or distribution will be immediately effected and such repatriated, expatriated or distributed Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation, expatriation or distribution) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans (and, if applicable, such other Indebtedness as is contemplated by this Section 5.2 pursuant to this Section 5.2(h) and to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that such repatriation or expatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Non-Credit Party or Asset Sale, any Non-Credit Party Recovery Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow (but only for so long as such material adverse tax consequence exists), the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Non-Credit Party; provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any Net Cash Proceeds from any Non-Credit Party Asset Sale or Non-Credit Party Recovery Event so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to Section 5.2(a) (or, in the case of Excess Cash Flow, a date on or before the date that is six months after the date such Excess Cash Flow would have been so required to be applied to prepayments pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(ii) unless previously repatriated or expatriated in which case such repatriated or expatriated Excess Cash Flow shall have been promptly applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 5.2(a)), (x) the Borrower applies an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by the Borrower rather than such Non-Credit Party, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated or expatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Non-Credit Party) or (y) such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow are applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a Non-Credit Party.

5.3Method and Place of Payment.

(a)All payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower, without deduction for any set-off, counterclaim or recoupement of any kind. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars (or, in respect of Obligations denominated in an Alternative Currency, in such Alternative Currency) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Lenders entitled thereto, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender (except to the extent payments are to be made directly to such Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender), as the case may be,

-143-

not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office it being understood that written, electronic or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed in like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto or to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as applicable.

(b)For purposes of computing interest or fees, any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) may be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (and the Administrative Agent may extend such deadline in its discretion whether or not such payments are in process). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

5.4Net Payments.

(a)Except as required by law, all payments made by or on account of any obligation of a Credit Party under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any current or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax and penalties applicable thereto) (collectively, “Taxes”). If any Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld by a Withholding Agent from any amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to an Agent or Lender, the applicable Credit Party shall increase the amounts payable to such Agent or Lender to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or Lender (after withholding of all Non-Excluded Taxes including those applicable to any amounts payable under this Section 5.4) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder or thereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified hereunder or thereunder. Whenever any withholding Taxes are payable by any Credit Party in respect of amounts payable under any Credit Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, promptly thereafter, the applicable Credit Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 5.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b)In addition, each Credit Party shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, filing, mortgage, recording or similar property or intangible taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made by such Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration or recordation of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest or performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, except any Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment requested by a Credit Party pursuant to Section 13.7(a)) as a result of a present or former connection between the assignor or assignee and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than a connection arising solely from the assignor or assignee having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any transaction pursuant to, or enforced this Agreement) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c)(i) The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Lender and each Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes payable or paid by such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) imposed or asserted (whether or not correctly or legally asserted) by any jurisdiction on any additional amounts or indemnities payable under this Section 5.4 and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that if any claim pursuant to this Section 5.4(c)(i) is made later than 180 days after the date on which the relevant Lender or Agent had actual

-144-

knowledge of the relevant Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, then the Credit Parties shall not be required to indemnify the applicable Lender or Agent for any penalties that accrue in respect of such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes after the 180th day. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Credit Parties to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.6(d)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Credit Parties in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(d)Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by any Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (A) as will permit payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding or (B) as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 5.4(d)(i) (other than clause (E) thereof), 5.4(e) and 5.4(g) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

unless in any such case such Lender is not legally entitled to duly complete and deliver any such form or certification with respect to it. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(e)If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.4(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

(f)No Credit Party shall be required to indemnify any Lender or Agent pursuant to Section 5.4(c), or to pay any additional amounts to any Lender or Agent pursuant to Section 5.4(a) in respect of (i) U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan, Commitment or Letter of Credit under any law in effect on the date such Lender acquired its interest in the applicable Loan, Commitment or Letter of Credit (other than pursuant to an assignment request made under Section 13.7(a)) or changed its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 5.4, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender acquired the applicable interest in a Loan, Commitment or Letter of Credit or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, or (ii) Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 5.4(d), 5.4(e) or 5.4(g).

(g)Each Lender that is organized in the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia shall (A) on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this Section 5.4(g) and (D) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,

-146-

provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two duly completed and signed originals (or copies thereof) of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.

(h)If any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes for which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Agreement (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.4), then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the indemnifying Credit Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund) for such amount (together with any interest received thereon) as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, reasonably determines to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the Taxes subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been imposed and the indemnification payment had not been required; provided that the Credit Party, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Credit Party (with interest, penalties and other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Neither any Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to any Credit Party in connection with this paragraph (h) or any other provision of this Section 5.4, and nothing in this Section 5.4 shall obligate any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to apply for any refund.

(i)For purpose of this Section 5.4, the term “Lender” shall include any Swingline Lender and any Letter of Credit Issuer.

(j)Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Credit Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.4.

5.6Limit on Rate of Interest.

(a)No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any Applicable Law.

(b)Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment which it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with Applicable Law.

(c)Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any Applicable Law, or would result in receipt by an Agent or Lender of interest at a rate prohibited by any Applicable Law, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Applicable Law (in the case of the Borrower), such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows:

-147-

(i)firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8; and

(ii)thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving pro forma effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any Applicable Law, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from such Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Lender to the Borrower.

(b)The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, waive, amend or modify any term or condition in any Material Junior Debt Documentation (or, in each case, any documentation governing any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) to the extent that any such waiver, amendment or modification, taken as a whole, would be materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders.

(ii)if, after giving pro forma effect to such increase in Consolidated EBITDA, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Performance Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement; and

(iii)Consolidated First Lien Debt in the Test Period for which the Cure Amount is deemed applied shall be decreased solely to the extent proceeds of the Cure Amount are applied to prepay any Indebtedness (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not through cash netting) (provided that any such Indebtedness so prepaid shall be a permanent repayment of such Indebtedness and termination of commitments thereunder) included in the calculation of Consolidated First Lien Debt;

provided that the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent in writing of the exercise of such Cure Right within five Business Days of the receipt of the Cure Amounts.

(b)Limitation on Exercise of Cure Right.

(c)Expected Cure Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Expected Cure Amount is (i) greater than the Necessary Cure Amount, then such difference may be used for the purposes of determining any baskets (other than any previously contributed Cure Amounts), with respect to the covenants contained in the Credit Documents, the Available Amount or the Available Equity Amount and (ii) less than the Necessary Cure Amount, then not later than the applicable Cure Deadline, the Borrower must receive the cash proceeds of the Cure Amount or a cash capital contribution to the Borrower, which cash proceeds received by the Borrower shall be equal to the shortfall between such Expected Cure Amount and such Necessary Cure Amount.

to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective lender or participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information to any Disqualified Lender.

12.6Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex, electronic mail message or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

12.7Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a written notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders (except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as applicable).

12.8Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and an investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor and any other Credit Party and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor and any other Credit Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent

-216-

hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. Each Lender represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

12.9Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent required to be reimbursed by the Borrower and not so reimbursed by the Borrower, and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section 12.9 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

12.10Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Lending Partners LLC and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any Guarantor and any other Credit Party as though Xxxxxxx Sachs Lending Partners LLC was not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Lending Partners LLC shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Lending Partners LLC in its individual capacity.

12.11Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Swingline Lender, the other Agents and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender or is in material breach of its obligations under the Credit Documents as an Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, then such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may be removed as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, at the reasonable request of the Borrower and the Required Lenders. If the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall resign or be removed as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, then (a) the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor for the Lenders within 30 days, or (b) in the case of a resignation, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, selected from among the Lenders. In either case, the successor shall be approved by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or 11.5 shall have occurred and be continuing), whereupon

-217-

such successor shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent”, and/or “Collateral Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any Lenders or other holders of the Loans. If no successor has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent by the date which is 30 days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, as the case may be, (x) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor as provided for above and (y) the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective at such time as a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed, and such successor Collateral Agent shall have accepted such appointment, in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.11 and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s and/or the Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal as the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

Any resignation or replacement by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Lending Partners LLC as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation or replacement as Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender. If Xxxxxxx Sachs Lending Partners LLC resigns or is replaced as Letter of Credit Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation or replacement as Letter of Credit Issuer and all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans or fund risk participations in Unpaid Drawings pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4. At the time such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Lending Partners LLC all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Sections 4.1(b) and 4.1(d). After such resignation or replacement, Xxxxxxx Sachs Lending Partners LLC shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or amend or renew existing Letters of Credit or provide any additional Swingline Loans. If Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Lending Partners LLC resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(ii). Upon the appointment by the Borrower of a successor Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (c) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Lending Partners LLC to effectively assume the obligations of Xxxxxxx Sachs Lending Partners LLC with respect to such Letters of Credit.

12.12Withholding Tax. To the extent the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that it is required by any Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. Without limiting or expanding the obligations of the Credit Parties under Section 5.4, if the United States Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the

-218-

Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out-of-pocket expenses. The agreements in this Section 12.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to set off any amounts owing to it under this Section 12.12 against any amounts otherwise payable to the applicable Lender.

12.13Duties as Collateral Agent and as Paying Agent. Without limiting the generality of Section 12.1 above, the Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority (to the exclusion of the Lenders each Hedge Bank and each Cash Management Bank), and is hereby authorized, to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Secured Parties with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Credit Documents (including in any proceeding described in Section 11.5 or any other cases or proceedings under any other Debtor Relief Laws, and each Person making any payment in connection with any Credit Document to any Secured Party is hereby authorized to make such payment to the Collateral Agent, (ii) file and prove claims and file other documents necessary, appropriate or desirable to allow the claims of the Secured Parties with respect to any Obligation in any proceeding described in Section 11.5 or any other proceedings under any other Debtor Relief Laws (but not to vote, consent or otherwise act on behalf of such Secured Party), (iii) act as collateral agent for each Secured Party for purposes of the perfection of all Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein, (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (v) take such other action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the Liens created or purported to be created by the Credit Documents, (vi) except as may be otherwise specified in any Credit Document, exercise all remedies given to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, whether under the Credit Documents, applicable requirements of law or otherwise, (vii) negotiate the form of any Mortgage and (viii) execute any amendment, consent or waiver under the Security Documents on behalf of the Secured Parties, to the extent consented to in accordance with Section 13.1 and the terms thereof; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender to act as collateral sub-agent for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties for purposes of the perfection of all Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any deposit account maintained by a Credit Party with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by such Secured Party and may further authorize and direct the Secured Parties to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for purposes of enforcing such Liens or otherwise to transfer the Collateral subject thereto to the Collateral Agent, and each Secured Party hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized and directed.

12.14Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release or subordination of Liens or the Guarantees contemplated by Section 13.17 without further action or consent by the Lenders.

12.15Intercreditor Agreements. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to enter into any Customary Intercreditor Agreement to the extent contemplated by the terms hereof, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such Customary Intercreditor Agreement is binding upon them. Each Lender (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Customary Intercreditor Agreement and (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Customary Intercreditor Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof. In addition, each Lender hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into (i) any amendments to any Customary Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) any other intercreditor arrangements, in the case of clauses (i), and (ii) to the extent required to give effect to the establishment of intercreditor rights and privileges as contemplated and required by Section 10.2 of this Agreement.

-219-

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that any of the Agents (or one or more of their respective Affiliates) may (but are not obligated to) act as the “Representative” or like term for the holders of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness under the security agreements with respect thereto and/or under a Customary Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender waives any conflict of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against any Agent or any of its affiliates any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto.

12.16Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Guarantee or any Security Document, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guarantee or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedging Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

12.17Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (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 Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary, appropriate or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Sections 4.1 and 13.5), including all such amounts incurred or accruing during the pendency of any case or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any debtor in possession, custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and Letter of Credit Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 4.1 and 13.5.

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

-220-

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, under any other Debtor Relief Laws or under any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any Applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Capital Stock or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Capital Stock thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving pro forma effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 13.1), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Capital Stock and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Capital Stock and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

(ii)such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.19(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.19(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 12.19(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c)Each Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party hereby (i) authorizes and agrees solely with the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party under any Credit Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts (“Unpaid Obligations”), against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a), (ii) authorizes the Administrative Agent to withhold (and hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, Letter of Credit Issuers and Secured Parties that are not Payment Recipients in respect of Erroneous Payments or have not failed to comply with Section 12.19(a) (the “Underpaid Lender Parties”)) any amounts received by it in respect of such Unpaid Obligations from such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party and (iii) authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute amounts received in respect of such Unpaid Obligations to Underpaid Lender Parties, in each case, for so long as and until the Underpaid Lender Parties and the Payment Recipient have been restored to the respective pro rata positions they would have held if such Erroneous Payment had not been made or had been immediately returned (consistent with Section 13.8).

(d)(i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) that was not made with funds provided by the Borrower (and the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, prepayment or repayment) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clauses (a), (b), or (c) from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and such Lender), but in all respects only if consented to by the Borrower to the extent required under Section 13.6, (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an approved electronic platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such

-224-

Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (C) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (D) the Administrative Agent (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower) shall be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Subject to Section 13.6 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (other than from the Borrower)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(e)The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties agree that irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Credit Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12.19 shall not, and shall not be interpreted to, affect (including to duplicate, increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of duplicating, increasing (or accelerating the due date for)) the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Credit Party; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (e) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, in each case, based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

-225-

(g)The obligations, agreements and waivers of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties under this Section 12.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, (x) none of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries has acquired or incurred (or will acquire or incur) any obligations or rights under this Section 12.19, (y) the rights and obligations of Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall not be affected by this Section 12.19 and (z) this Section 12.19 shall solely be an agreement between the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, and not Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary of Holdings.

SECTION 13.Miscellaneous.

13.1Amendments and Waivers. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document (other than the Fee Letter, which may be amended, supplemented or restated with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower), nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.1.

(i)without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby:

(A)reduce or forgive the principal of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Sections 6 and 7 or waiver or amendment of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness of principal);

(B)extend the date of any scheduled amortization payment (including any scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayment Date or any date scheduled for the repayment of any installment of Incremental Term Loans) or the final scheduled maturity date of any Loan (other than as a result of waiving the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 6 and 7 or other than as a result of a waiver or amendment of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment (which shall not constitute an extension, forgiveness or postponement of any maturity date)); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to extensions effected in accordance with Section 2.15;

(C)reduce the amount of any fee payable hereunder or reduce the stated interest rate applicable to the Loans (it being understood that any change (x) to the definition of “Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio” or (y) in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate); provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (i) to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the “default rate”, (ii) to

-226-

amend Section 2.8(c) or (iii) to waive the MFN Protection, including under any requirement of Section 2.14(c);

(D)extend the date for the payment of any interest or fee payable hereunder (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and other than as a result of a waiver or amendment of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment (which shall not constitute an extension, forgiveness or postponement of any date for payment of principal, interest or fees));

(E)extend the final expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment (provided that any Lender, upon the request of the Borrower, may extend the final expiration date of its Commitments without the consent of any other Lender, including the Required Lenders); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to extensions effected in accordance with Section 2.15;

(F)extend the final expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the date specified in Section 3.1(b);

(G)increase the aggregate amount of any Commitment of any Lender (other than (i) with respect to any Incremental Facility to which such Lender has agreed, (ii) as a result of waiving the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 6 and 7 or (iii) as a result of a waiver or amendment of any Default or Event of Default (which shall not constitute an extension or increase of any commitment)); or

(H)decrease or forgive any Repayment Amount;

(ii)(A) reduce the percentages specified in the definition of the term “Required Revolving Credit Lenders” without the written consent of all Revolving Credit Lenders or (B) reduce the percentages specified in the definition of the term “Required Term Loan Lenders” without the written consent of all Term Loan Lenders, or

(iii)amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.1 or reduce the percentages specified in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document to which it is a party (except as permitted pursuant to Section 10.3), in each case without the written consent of each Lender, or

(iv)amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 without the written consent of the then-current Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, or

(vii)subject to any applicable Customary Intercreditor Agreement, release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantors under the Guarantee (except as expressly permitted by the Guarantee), or release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents (except as expressly permitted by the Security Documents), in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender;

provided, further, that (A) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower, and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of

-227-

Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section 13.1 if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time and (B) any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, error, mistake or inconsistency (including amendments, supplements or waivers to any of the Security Documents, guarantees, intercreditor agreements or related documents executed by any Credit Party or any other Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order to cause such Security Documents, guarantees, intercreditor agreements or related documents to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents), so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; provided that the consent of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall not be required to make any such changes necessary to be made in connection with (w) any borrowing of Incremental Term Loans to effect the provisions of Section 2.14, (x) the provision of any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase or any Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, (y) in connection with an amendment that addresses solely a re-pricing transaction in which any Class of Term Loans is refinanced with a replacement Class of term loans bearing (or is modified in such a manner such that the resulting term loans bear) a lower Effective Yield for which only the consent of the Lenders holding Term Loans subject to such permitted repricing transaction that will continue as a Lender in respect of the repriced tranche of Term Loans or modified Term Loans or (z) changes otherwise to effect the provisions of Section 2.14, 2.15, 2.17 or 10.2(a) and (C) Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of the other Lenders, (i) negotiate the form of any Mortgage as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Collateral Agent and (ii) effect changes to this Agreement that are necessary and appropriate to provide for (I) the mechanics contemplated by the offering process set forth in Section 13.6(g)(i)(B) herein and (II) the amendments contemplated by each of Section 1.3(a)(i) (so long as the Lenders shall have received prior written notice of such amendment) and Section 2.10(d) (subject to the terms thereof).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, only the consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders shall be required to (and only the Required Revolving Credit Lenders shall have the ability to) waive, amend, supplement or modify the covenant set forth in Section 10.10 (including any defined terms as they relate thereto); provided that if Revolving Credit Lenders under any Incremental Facility have agreed not to have the benefit of the covenant set forth in Section 10.10, such Revolving Credit Lenders and such Incremental Facility shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the “Required Revolving Credit Lenders” under this paragraph.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into any amendment, modification, supplement or other change to the Security Documents or enter into, or amend, modify, supplement or change, any Customary Intercreditor Agreement, in each case as contemplated by Sections 10.2(a), 10.2(u), 10.2(bb) or 10.2(oo).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any determination as to whether the requisite Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Credit Document, or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Credit Document, any Lender (other than (x) any Lender that is a Regulated Bank and (y) any Revolving Credit Lender as of the Closing Date and (z) any Affiliate of any thereof) that, as a result of its interest in any total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract (other than any such total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract entered into pursuant to bona fide market making activities), has a net short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments (each, a “Net Short Lender”) shall have no right to vote any of its Loans and Commitments and shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Net Short Lenders. For purposes of determining whether a Lender has a “net short position” on any date of determination:

(i)derivative contracts with respect to the Loans and Commitments and such contracts that are the functional equivalent thereof shall be counted at the notional amount thereof in Dollars,

-228-

(ii)notional amounts in other currencies shall be converted to the dollar equivalent thereof by such Lender in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices and based on the prevailing conversion rate (determined on a mid-market basis) on the date of determination,

(iii)derivative contracts in respect of an index that includes any Credit Party or any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Credit Parties shall not be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments, so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender and (y) the Credit Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Credit Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5.0% of the components of such index,

(iv)derivative transactions that are documented using either the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions or the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (collectively, the “ISDA CDS Definitions”) shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments if such Lender is a protection buyer or the equivalent thereof for such derivative transaction and (x) the Loans or the Commitments are a “Reference Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction (whether specified by name in the related documentation, included as a “Standard Reference Obligation” on the most recent list published by Markit, if “Standard Reference Obligation” is specified as applicable in the relevant documentation or in any other manner), (y) the Loans or the Commitments would be a “Deliverable Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction or (z) any of the Credit Parties (or its successor) is designated as a “Reference Entity” under the terms of such derivative transactions, and

(v)credit derivative transactions or other derivatives transactions not documented using the ISDA CDS Definitions shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments if such transactions are functionally equivalent to a transaction that offers the Lender protection in respect of the Loans or the Commitments, or as to the credit quality of any Credit Party other than, in each case, as part of an index so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender and (y) the Credit Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Credit Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5.0% of the components of such index.

In connection with any such determination, each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing that it is a Net Short Lender, or shall otherwise (other than a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law) be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not a Net Short Lender (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on each such representation and deemed representation and shall have no duty to (x) inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any such representation or deemed representation, (y) verify any statements in any officer’s certificates delivered to it or (z) otherwise make any calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to any derivative contracts and/or net short positions). In addition, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Net Short Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Net Short Lender, (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of commitments or loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Net Short Lender or (z) have any liability with respect to or arising out of the voting in any amendment or waiver to any Credit Document by any Net Short Lender.

To the extent notice has been provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the definition of “Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness”, “Permitted Additional Debt” or “Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness” or pursuant to Sections 2.14(c), 10.1(k)(i)(E) or 10.1(s) with respect to the inclusion of any Previously Absent Covenant, this Agreement shall be automatically and without further action on the part of any Person hereunder and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.1 deemed modified to include such Previously Absent

-229-

Covenant on the date of the Incurrence of the applicable Indebtedness to the extent required by the terms of such definition or section.

(f)if to a Lender or other Letter of Credit Issuer (other than as set forth in the immediately preceding clauses), to it at its address (or fax number) set forth on Schedule 13.2 or in the Assignment and Acceptance, Incremental Agreement or documents relating to any Refinancing pursuant to which such Lender shall have become a party hereto.

All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt if delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by fax or on the date five Business Days after dispatch by certified or registered mail if mailed, in each case delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to such party as provided in this Section 13.2 or in accordance with the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this Section 13.2. Notices and other communications may also be delivered by e-mail to the email address of a representative of the applicable Person provided from time to time by such Person.

The Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, that it will, or

-231-

will cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Documents or to the Lenders under Section 9, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) is or relates to a Notice of Borrowing or a notice pursuant to Section 2.6, (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 or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Credit Document 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 being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Credit Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings (or any Parent Entity thereof), the Borrower or any of their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Agents and the Lenders to treat the Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Holdings (or any Parent Entity thereof) or the Borrower or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States federal securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent the Borrower Materials constitute Confidential Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 13.16); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat the Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC” unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Credit Documents, (2) notification of changes in the terms of the Credit Facilities and (3) all information delivered pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) and (b).

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 securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to Holdings (or any Parent Entity thereof) or the Borrower or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States federal securities laws.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY CREDIT PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY OTHER AGENT 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 TORT, CONTRACT OR

-232-

OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY CREDIT PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS OR NOTICES THROUGH THE PLATFORM, ANY OTHER ELECTRONIC PLATFORM OR ELECTRONIC MESSAGING SERVICE, THROUGH THE INTERNET OR NOTICES THROUGH THE PLATFORM, ANY OTHER ELECTRONIC PLATFORM OR ELECTRONIC MESSAGING SERVICE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL DECISION BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents.

provided that this Section 13.5(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or penalties arising from any non-Tax claim; and provided, further, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent arising from (a) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or any of its Related Parties as determined in a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, (b) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnified Party or any of its Related Parties under the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by such Indemnified Party or any of its Related Parties as determined in a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, (c) in addition to clause (b) above, in the case of any Proceeding initiated by Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary against the relevant Indemnified Party, solely from a breach of the obligations of such Indemnified Party or its Related Parties under the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document as determined in a final and non-appealable decision by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (d) any Proceeding brought by any Indemnified Party against any other Indemnified Party that does not involve an act or omission by Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that each of the Agents, the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Swingline Lender, the Lead Arrangers and the Joint Bookrunners, in each case to the extent fulfilling their respective roles in their capacities as such, shall remain indemnified in respect of such a Proceeding, to the extent that none of the exceptions set forth in clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) of the immediately preceding proviso applies to such Person at such time. All amounts payable under this Section 13.5(a) shall be paid within 30 days after receipt by the Borrower of written demand and an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expense in reasonable detail. The

-234-

agreements in this Section 13.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and the termination of the Obligations.

(b)No Credit Party nor any Indemnified Party shall have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); provided that the foregoing shall not limit the Borrower’s indemnification and reimbursement obligations to the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 13.5(a)(iii), to the extent that such special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages are included in any claim by a third party unaffiliated with any of the Indemnified Parties with respect to which the applicable Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 13.5(a)(iii). No Indemnified Party shall be 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 this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of any Indemnified Party or any of its Related Parties as determined by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c)No Credit Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood that the withholding of consent due to non-satisfaction of any of the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of paragraph (d) below (with “the Borrower” being substituted for “Indemnified Party” in each such clause) shall be deemed reasonable), but if settled with the Borrower’s written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction for the plaintiff in any such Proceeding, each Credit Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses and reasonable and documented or invoiced legal or other out-of-pocket expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with and to the extent provided in the other provisions of this Section 13.5. If any Person has reimbursed any Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses in accordance with such request and there is a final and non-appealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 13.5, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly refund such amount.

(d)No Credit Party shall without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood that the withholding of consent due to non-satisfaction of any of the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence shall be deemed reasonable), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

(e)In case any proceeding is instituted involving any Indemnified Party for which indemnification is to be sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Borrower of the commencement of any proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to do so will not relieve the Borrower from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except to the extent that the Borrower is materially prejudiced by such failure. Notwithstanding the above, following such notification, the Borrower may elect in writing to assume the defense of such proceeding, and, upon such election, the Borrower will not be liable for any legal costs subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party (other than reasonable costs of investigation and providing evidence) in connection therewith, unless (i) the Borrower has failed to provide counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in a timely manner, (ii) counsel provided by the Borrower reasonably determines its representation of such Indemnified Party would present it with a conflict of interest or (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there are actual conflicts of interest between the Borrower and the Indemnified Party, including situations in which there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Borrower.

(B)subject to the terms of Section 13.7(c), the parties to each assignment shall (x) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (y) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, in each case, together with a processing fee of $3,500 (it being understood that such recordation fee shall not apply to any assignment by any of the Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners or any of their respective Affiliates hereunder in connection with the primary syndication of the Initial Term Loan Facility); provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive or reduce such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment, including assignments effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 13.7;

-237-

(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 13.6(b)(vi), 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, 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 and subject to the requirements of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.4 and 13.5); provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any other party hereto against such Defaulting Lender arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.6(d).

(iv)By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (A) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Initial Term Loan Commitment, Incremental Term Loan Commitment, Revolving Credit Commitment and Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving pro forma effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (B) except as set forth in clause (A) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (C) such assignee represents and warrants that (x) it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance and (y) to the extent that such assignee has received, upon its request, a notification of whether or not it is on the list of Disqualified Lenders, it is not a Disqualified Lender or an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender; (D) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 8.9 or delivered pursuant to Section 9.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (E) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (F) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (G) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(v)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans (and interest thereon) and any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, the Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register, as in effect at the close of business on the preceding Business Day, shall be available for inspection by (x) the Borrower, each Letter of Credit

-238-

Issuer and the Collateral Agent and (y) any Lender (solely with respect to its own outstanding Loans and Commitments), in each case, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(vi)Upon its receipt of and, if required, consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire and any tax form required by Section 5.4 (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 13.6(b)(i), the Administrative Agent shall promptly 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 and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, any Lender may assign to one or more wholly owned special purpose funding vehicles (each, an “SPV”) all or any portion of its funded Loans (without the corresponding Commitment), without the consent of any Person or the payment of a fee, by execution of a written assignment agreement in a form agreed to by such assigning Lender and such SPV, and may grant any such SPV the option, in such SPV’s sole discretion, to provide the Borrower all or any part of any Loans that such assigning Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement. Such SPVs shall have all the rights which a Lender making or holding such Loans would have under this Agreement, but no obligations. Any such assigning Lender shall remain liable for all its original obligations under this Agreement, including its Commitment (although the unused portion thereof shall be reduced by the principal amount of any Loans held by an SPV). Notwithstanding such assignment, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may deliver notices to such assigning Lender (as agent for the SPV) and not separately to the SPV unless the Administrative Agent and the Borrower are requested in writing by the SPV to deliver such notices separately to it. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) neither the grant to the SPV nor the exercise by any SPV of such option will increase the costs or expenses or otherwise change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, except, in the case of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, where (A) the increase or change results from a change in any Applicable Law after the SPV becomes an SPV and the assigning Lender notifies the Borrower in writing of such increase or change no later than ninety (90) days after such change in Applicable Law becomes effective or (B) the grant was made with the Borrower’s prior written consent, (ii) the assigning Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Credit Document and the receipt of any notices provided by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (as agent for the SPV) remain the Lender of record hereunder and (iii) no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the assigning Lender). The Borrower shall, at the request of any such assigning Lender, execute and deliver to such Person as such assigning Lender may designate, a Note, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 or G-2, as applicable, in the amount of such assigning Lender’s original Note to evidence the Loans of such assigning Lender and related SPV.

(d)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more Persons, other than to any Disqualified Lender (to the extent that the list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to such Lender), Defaulting Lender, natural person, Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer 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 this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 13.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (d)(ii) of this Section 13.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits (and subject to the requirements) of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.4 and 13.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.6(b);

-239-

provided that the documentation required under Section 5.4(d), (e) and (g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.8(b) as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.8(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless (A) the entitlement to a greater payment resulted from a change in any Applicable Law after the Participant became a Participant and the participating Lender notifies the Borrower in writing of such entitlement to a greater payment no later than ninety (90) days after such change in Applicable Law becomes effective or (B) the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose, shall establish and maintain at its address a record of ownership, in which such Lender shall register by book entry (A) the name and address of each such Participant (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (B) the rights, interest or obligation of each such Participant in any Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any interest or principal payment hereunder (such register, a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of its Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Obligation or Commitment) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Obligation or Commitment is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the parties shall treat the Person listed in the Participant Register as the Participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, and this Section 13.6 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.

(g)(i) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Loans or Commitments to any Purchasing Borrower Party or any Affiliated Lender in accordance with Section 13.6(b) (which assignment, if to a Purchasing Borrower Party, will not, except for purposes of making calculations of the Incremental Base Amount and the calculations required by Section 5.2(a)(ii), constitute a prepayment of Loans for any purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents); provided that:

(A)with respect to any assignment to a Purchasing Borrower Party, no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom;

-240-

(B)with respect to any such assignment to a Purchasing Borrower Party, either (x) such Purchasing Borrower Party shall offer to all Lenders within any Class of Term Loans (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, to every Class) to buy the Term Loans within such Class on a pro rata basis based on the then outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans of such Class, pursuant to procedures to be reasonably agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower or (y) such assignment shall be effected pursuant to an open market purchase;

(C)the assigning Lender and Purchasing Borrower Party or Non-Debt Fund Affiliate purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans, as applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I or such other form as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance”) in lieu of an Assignment and Acceptance;

(D)for the avoidance of doubt, Lenders shall not be permitted to assign Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Loans, Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Loans, Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party or any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate;

(G)no Term Loan may be assigned to a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate pursuant to this Section 13.6(g) if, after giving pro forma effect to such assignment, Non-Debt Fund Affiliates in the aggregate would own in excess of 30.0% of the Term Loans of all Classes then outstanding (determined as of the time of such purchase); and

(H)any purchases or assignments of Loans by a Purchasing Borrower Party or a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate made through “dutch auctions” shall (i) be conducted pursuant to procedures to be established by the applicable “auction agent” that are consistent with this Section 13.6(g) and are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and (ii) require that such Person clearly identify itself as a Purchasing Borrower Party or an Affiliated Lender, as the case may be, in any assignment and acceptance agreement executed in connection with such purchases or assignments.

(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall have any right to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Credit Parties are not invited, (B) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to any Credit Party or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement) or (C) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent under the Credit Documents or to challenge such Agent’s attorney-client privilege.

(iii)By its acquisition of Term Loans, a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that if a case under the Bankruptcy Code is commenced against any Credit Party, such

-241-

Credit Party shall seek (and each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall consent) to provide that the vote of any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate (in its capacity as a Lender) with respect to any plan of reorganization or liquidation of such Credit Party shall not be counted except that such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate’s vote (in its capacity as a Lender) may be counted to the extent any such plan of reorganization or liquidation proposes to treat the Obligations held by such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate in a manner that is less favorable to such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower; each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate and in the name of such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate (solely in respect of Loans and participations therein and not in respect of any other claim or status such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate may otherwise have) from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (iii);

(iv)Any Lender may assign all or a portion of the Loans or Commitments of any Class held by it to a Debt Fund Affiliate in accordance with Section 13.6(b).

(i)Upon any contribution of Term Loans to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and upon any purchase of Term Loans by a Purchasing Borrower Party, (A) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of such Term Loans shall automatically be cancelled and retired or extinguished by the Borrower on the date of such contribution or purchase (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, with respect to a contribution of Term Loans, any applicable contributing Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in such Loans to the Borrower for immediate cancellation) and (B) the Administrative Agent shall record such cancellation or retirement or extinguishment in the Register.

(j)The Administrative Agent shall not (a) be required to serve as the auction agent for, or have any other obligations to participate in (other than mechanical administrative duties), or facilitate any, “dutch auction” unless it is reasonably satisfied with the terms and restrictions of such auction or (b) have any obligation to participate in, arrange, sell or otherwise facilitate, and will have no liability in connection with, any open market purchases by any Purchasing Borrower Party.

-242-

the Borrower shall repay (or such replacement bank, financial institution or other institutional lender or investor shall purchase, at par) all Loans and pay all other amounts (other than any disputed amounts) owing to such replaced Lender hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be) and under the other Credit Documents prior to the date of replacement of such Lender, (D) such replacement bank, financial institution or other institutional lender or investor (if not already a Lender) and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (E) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6 and (F) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender or that the replaced Lender shall have against the Borrower and the other parties for indemnity, contribution, payment of disputed and other unpaid amounts and otherwise.

(b)If any Lender (such Lender a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, modification, supplement, waiver, discharge or termination, which pursuant to the terms of Section 13.1 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected or each Lender and with respect to which the Required Lenders or any other majority or required percentage of Lenders of any Class of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, shall have granted their consent, then, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent), at its own cost and expense, to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments to one or more Eligible Assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) all Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full (including any applicable premium under Section 5.1(b)) to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such NonConsenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and other accrued and unpaid amounts thereon, (iii) the replacement Lender shall consent to the proposed amendment, modification, supplement, waiver, discharge or termination, (iv) all Lenders required to have consented to such proposed amendment, modification, supplement, waiver, discharge or termination (other than Non-Consenting Lenders which are simultaneously replaced) shall have consented thereto, and (v) the assignment of such Non-Consenting Lenders Loans to one or more Eligible Assignees does not otherwise conflict with Applicable Law.

(a)Except as otherwise set forth herein, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Loans of any Class and/or the participations in letter of credit obligations or swingline loans held by it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 11.5, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans of such Class or participations in letter of credit obligations or swingline loans, as applicable, such Benefited Lender shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase for cash at face value from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans of such Class or participations in letter of credit obligations or swingline loans, as applicable, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal of their respective Loans of the applicable Class or participations in letter of credit obligations or swingline loans, as applicable; provided that, (A) if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Credit Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this

-243-

Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, Commitments or participations in a Letter of Credit Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant or (z) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments of that Class or any increase in the Applicable Margin (or other pricing term, including any fee, discount or premium) in respect of Loans or Commitments of Lenders that have consented to any such extension to the extent such transaction is permitted hereunder. Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Credit Party rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

(b)After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Applicable Law, each Lender, the Swingline Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to setoff and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be; provided that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off. Each Lender, the Swingline Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Person; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.8(b) to the contrary, no Lender, no Swingline Lender and no Letter of Credit Issuer will exercise, or attempt to exercise, any right of set off, banker’s lien or the like against any deposit account or property of the Borrower or any other Credit Party held or maintained by such Lender, Swingline Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, in each case to the extent the deposits or other proceeds of such exercise, or attempt to exercise, any right of set off, banker’s lien or the like are, or are intended to be or are otherwise are held out to be applied to the Obligations hereunder or otherwise secured by the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Holdings or the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

13.21Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

-248-

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

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

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

13.22Co-Obligor Obligations.

(a)Joint and Several Liability. In consideration of the establishment of any Commitments and the making of the Loans and issuance of the Letters of Credit under this Agreement, and of the benefits to the Borrower and each of the Co-Obligors that are anticipated to result therefrom, the Borrower and each of the Co-Obligors agree that, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Credit Document, the Borrower and each of the Co-Obligors shall be fully liable for all of the Obligations, both severally and jointly, regardless of whether the Borrower actually receives the proceeds of the Loans or the benefit of any other extensions of credit hereunder. Accordingly, the Borrower and each of the Co-Obligors irrevocably agrees with each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns that they will make prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by optional prepayment or otherwise) of the Obligations, strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Borrower and each of the Co-Obligors hereby further agrees that if the Borrower or any of the Co-Obligors shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by optional prepayment or otherwise) any of the Obligations, then they will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the 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.

(b)Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower and each of the Co-Obligors under paragraph (a) above are absolute and unconditional irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of any Borrower or Co-Obligors under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 13.23 that the joint and several obligations of the Borrower and each of the Co-Obligors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not affect the joint and several liability of the Borrower and each of the Co-Obligors, which shall, in each case, remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(i)at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or any of the Co-Obligors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the 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 or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted; or

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

-249-

(c)Certain Waivers. The Borrower and each of the Co-Obligors hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, any defenses it may now or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against either it or the Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

(d)Reinstatement. The obligations of the Borrower and each of the Co-Obligors under this Section shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower and each of the Co-Obligors in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

(e)Remedies. The Borrower and each of the Co-Obligors agrees that, as among them, in their capacity as co-obligors with joint and several liability, and the Lenders, the obligations of any of them under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11 hereof (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 11) for purposes of paragraph (a) above notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any of them 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 of them) shall forthwith become due and payable by the others, in their capacities as obligor or co-obligor, as applicable, for purposes of such paragraph (a).

(f)Continuing Obligation. Each of the agreements of the Borrower and each of the Co-Obligors in this Section is a continuing agreement and undertaking, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

(g)Notices, Elections, Approvals, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or other Credit Documents, each of the Co-Obligors hereby agrees that any and all notices, elections, requests, decisions, approval rights and similar discretionary activities under the Credit Documents may be taken by the Borrower on behalf of itself and/or the Co-Obligors.

(h)Standstill. Upon payment by the Borrower or any of the Co-Obligors of any sums as provided under paragraph (a) above (or under any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document), all rights, if any, of the Borrower or any of the Co-Obligors against the other or any other Credit Party arising as a result thereof by way of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be irrevocably waived prior to the payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations.

13.23Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party

-250-

or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b)As used in this Section 13.24, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

EXHIBIT A
TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT

FORM OF GUARANTEE

GUARANTEE, dated as of August 24, 2021 (this “Guarantee”), made among MPH ACQUISITION CORP 1, a Delaware corporation, as Holdings (“Holdings”), MPH ACQUISITION HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the Borrower (the “Borrower”), each of the subsidiaries of the Borrower listed on Annex A hereto or that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 21 hereof (each such subsidiary, individually, a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”; and together with Holdings and, other than with respect to its own obligations, the Borrower, collectively, the “Guarantors”), and XXXXXXX XXXXX LENDING PARTNERS LLC, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in such capacity, together with its successors, assigns, designees and sub-agents in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, (a) Holdings and the Borrower are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Credit Agreement”), with the Co-Obligors from time to time party thereto, the several Lenders and Letter of Credit Issuers from time to time party thereto and XXXXXXX SACHS LENDING PARTNERS LLC, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Swingline Lender, pursuant to which the Lenders have severally agreed to make Loans to the Borrower and the Letter of Credit Issuers have agreed to issue letters of credit for the account of the Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (b) one or more Hedge Banks may from time to time enter into Secured Hedging Agreements with any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary and (c) one or more Cash Management Banks may from time to time provide Cash Management Services pursuant to Secured Cash Management Agreements to any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary (clauses (a), (b), and (c) collectively, the “Extensions of Credit”);

WHEREAS, Holdings is an affiliate of the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor is a Subsidiary of the Borrower;

WHEREAS, the proceeds of the Extensions of Credit will be used in part to finance the Closing Date Refinancing Transactions (including to Transaction Expenses);

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will derive a substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making of the Extensions of Credit; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligations of the Lenders, Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuers to make their respective Extensions of Credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement that the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guarantee to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Agents, the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuers to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuers to make their respective Extensions of Credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, to induce one or more Hedge Banks to enter into Secured Hedging Agreements with any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary and to induce one or more Cash Management Banks pursuant to Secured Cash Management Agreements to provide

A-1

Cash Management Services to any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary and the Guarantors, as applicable, hereby agree with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as follows:

1. Defined Terms.

(a) Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein (including terms used in the preamble and recitals hereto) shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement. Furthermore, unless otherwise defined herein or in the Credit Agreement, terms defined in the Security Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Security Agreement.

(b) The rules of construction and other interpretive provisions specified in Sections 1.2, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and 1.12 of Credit Agreement shall apply to this Guarantee, including terms defined in the preamble and recitals hereto.

2. Guarantee.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2(b), each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the prompt and complete payment (and not of collection) and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations (other than, in the case of the Borrower, in respect of its own obligations), whether currently existing or hereafter incurred. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Credit Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Collateral Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Collateral Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Sections 3 and 5 hereof.

(b) Anything herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall in no event exceed the amount that can be guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor under Applicable Laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.

(c) To the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement (whether or not then in effect), each Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that may be paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing or preserving any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, such Guarantor under this Guarantee.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing this Guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder.

A-2

(e) No payment or payments made by the Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party from the Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments other than payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or payments received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations, remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Termination Date.

(f) Each Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Collateral Agent in writing that such payment is made under this Guarantee for such purpose.

(g) Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s and each other Credit Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(h) The Borrower, unconditionally and irrevocably, with respect to each other Guarantor (other than with respect to any Guarantor, any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor), guarantees such Guarantor’s guarantee of any Hedging Agreement entered into by a Hedge Bank. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2(h) shall remain in full force and effect until the discharge of the Obligations in accordance with the Credit Documents or other document executed and delivered in connection therewith. The Borrower intends that this Section 2(h) constitute, and this Section 2(h) shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee or other agreement for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

3. Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent 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 that 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 5 hereof. The provisions of this Section 3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

4. Right of Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Secured Parties provided by Applicable Law, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default without notice to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor, upon any amount becoming due and payable by such Guarantor hereunder (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or

A-3

the account of such Guarantor. Each Secured Party shall notify such Guarantor and the Collateral Agent promptly of any such set-off and the appropriation and application made by such Secured Party; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and appropriation and application.

5. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any of the Guarantors hereunder or any set-off or appropriation and application of funds of any of the Guarantors by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until the Termination Date. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Termination Date, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether due or to become due, in accordance with Section 5.04 of the Security Agreement.

6. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Except for termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 25, each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith, the Secured Hedging Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith and the Secured Cash Management Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith, may be amended, waived, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of the applicable document and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Guarantor, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Borrower or any other Guarantor or other guarantor, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any other Guarantor or other guarantor or any release of the Borrower or any other Guarantor or other guarantor shall not relieve any Guarantor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any Guarantor not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

A-4

7. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, contraction, Incurrence, renewal, extension, amendment, waiver or accrual of any of the Obligations (including as a result of the Incurrence of Incremental Facilities), and notice of or proof of reliance by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, the Obligations or any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or Incurred, or renewed, extended, amended, waived or accrued, in reliance upon this Guarantee; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the other Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. Each Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand for payment and notice of default, acceleration or nonpayment and any other notice to or upon the Borrower or any other Guarantor with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that this Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment (and not of collection) without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Secured Hedging Agreement or any Secured Cash Management Agreement, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations by the Guarantors or (d) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) that constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party may elect, but shall be under no obligation, to pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve such Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to Applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement, subrogation, exoneration, contribution or indemnification or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor, as the case may be, or any security. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each Guarantor and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, until the Termination Date, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement and any Secured Hedging Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement the Credit Parties may be free from any Obligations.

8. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any Indebtedness of any Guarantor now or hereafter owing to any other Subsidiary, whether heretofore, now or hereafter created (the “Guarantor Subordinated Debt”), is hereby subordinated to all of the Obligations until the Termination Date and that the Guarantor Subordinated Debt shall not be paid in whole or in part during the continuance of any Event of Default after written notice from the Collateral Agent to the Borrower. In

(iv)transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto (whereupon the voting and other rights of such Grantor described in Section 4.02(d)(i) above shall immediately cease such that the Agent shall have the sole right to exercise such voting and other rights while the relevant Event of Default exists and is continuing), to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon (it being understood that all Stock Rights received by any Grantor while the relevant Event of Default exists and is continuing shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent and forthwith paid over to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements)) and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Agent was the outright owner thereof; and

(v)take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing such Grantor in writing to deliver the same to the Agent at any reasonable place or places designated by the Agent, in which event such Grantor shall at its own expense:

(1)forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated by the Agent and there delivered to the Agent;

(2)store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Agent; and

(3)while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be reasonably necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain it in good condition.

(b)Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that compliance by the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, with any Applicable Laws and the Credit Documents in connection with a disposition of the Collateral will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(c)The Agent shall have the right in any public sale and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, in any private sale, to purchase for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties, all or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption each Grantor hereby expressly releases.

(d)Until the Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral under this Section 5.01, the Agent shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving such Collateral or the value of such Collateral, or for any other purpose deemed reasonably appropriate by the Agent. At any time when an Event of Default exists and is continuing, and upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, the Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of the Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Agent and Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

B-18

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, the Grantors, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

(f)Each Grantor recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that no such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of any Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities requirements of law, even if any Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so.

(g)Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rights and remedies provided in this Section 5.01 shall be subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement then in effect.

SECTION 5.02.Grantors’ Obligations Upon Default. Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Grantor from the Agent, at any time when an Event of Default exists and is continuing, each Grantor will:

(a)at its own cost and expense (i) assemble and make available to the Agent, the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places reasonably specified by the Agent, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) deliver all tangible evidence of its Accounts and Contract Rights (including, without limitation, all documents evidencing the Accounts and all Contracts) and such books and records to the Agent or to its representatives (copies of which evidence and books and records may be retained by such Grantor) and (iii) if the Agent so directs, legend in a form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, the Accounts and the Contracts, as well as books, records and documents (if any) of such Grantor evidencing or pertaining to such Accounts and Contracts with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts and Contracts have been assigned to the Agent and that the Agent has a security interest therein; and

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

SECTION 5.03.Intellectual Property Remedies.

B-19

(a)For the purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this Article 5 at any time when an Event of Default exists and is continuing and at such time as the Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies and is exercising such rights and remedies pursuant to Section 11 of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent a power of attorney to, following notice from the Agent to the such Grantor, sign any document which may be required by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, domain name registrar or similar registrar in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in each registered Patent, Trademark, Domain Name and Copyright and exclusive Copyright License included in the Collateral and each application for any such registration, and record the same.

(b)At any time when an Event of Default exists and is continuing, each Grantor shall, upon request by the Agent, grant to the Agent an irrevocable (until the Termination Date), nonexclusive, royalty-free (or any other payment obligation), worldwide license to its right to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and (to the extent not prohibited by any applicable license and subject to any Grantor’s security policies and obligations of confidentiality) to all computer software and programs used for compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.03(b) shall require a Grantor to grant any license that (i) is prohibited by any Applicable law or (ii) is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or gives rise to any right of acceleration, modification or cancellation under, any license, Contractual Obligation or similar agreement giving rise to a right to use or theretofore granted with respect to such property, which, in the case of this clause (ii), (w) exists on the Closing Date, (x) if such agreement was entered into by a Grantor acquired after the Closing Date, exists at the time such Grantor is acquired and which agreement was not entered into in contemplation of such acquisition or (y) if such agreement was entered into by any Grantor after the Closing Date, to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement; provided, further, that such licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks. The use of the license granted to the Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence may be exercised, at the option of the Agent, only when an Event of Default exists and is continuing; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Agent in accordance with this Section 5.03(b) shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of the relevant Event of Default.

SECTION 5.04.Application of Proceeds.

(a)Subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement then in effect, the Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization of any Collateral as follows:

(i)FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with such sale, collection

B-20

or realization or otherwise in connection with this Security Agreement, the other Credit Documents, including all court costs and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document on behalf of any Grantor and any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or under any other Credit Document;

(ii)SECOND, to the Secured Parties, an amount equal to all Obligations owing to them on the date of any such distribution, and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to such Secured Parties in proportion to the unpaid amounts thereof; and

(iii)THIRD, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Grantors or their successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no amounts received from any Grantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Grantor and (ii) after the payments pursuant to clause FIRST above, if any Intercreditor Agreement has been entered into among the holders of Obligations which provides for the application of proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, then such proceeds shall be applied pursuant to the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement and in making the determination and allocations required in any Intercreditor Agreement the Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the applicable Authorized Officer as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to such Obligations and the Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information.

(b)Except as otherwise provided herein or in any other Credit Document, the Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, money or balance in accordance with this Security Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), a receipt by the Agent or of the officer making the sale of such proceeds, moneys or balances shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. It is understood that the Grantors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Obligations.

The Agent may at any time and from time to time when an Event of Default exists and is continuing and, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, in the Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of the Agent, or in the name of any Grantor, communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with the account debtors of such Grantor, parties to Contracts with such Grantor and obligors in respect of Instruments of such Grantor to verify with such Persons, to the Agent’s reasonable satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, Contracts, Instruments, Chattel Paper, payment intangibles and/or other Receivables that constitute Collateral.

SECTION 6.02.Authorization for the Agent to Take Certain Action.

(b)All acts of such attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved by each Grantor. The powers conferred on the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and Secured Parties, under this Section 6.02 are solely to protect the Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers.

SECTION 6.03.PROXY. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY (UNTIL THE TERMINATION DATE) CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (SUBJECT TO AND AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.02) WITH RESPECT TO THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), IN EACH CASE ONLY WHEN AN EVENT OF DEFAULT EXISTS AND IS CONTINUING AND UPON AT LEAST THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS’ PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE BORROWER.

ARTICLE 7
GENERAL PROVISIONS

SECTION 7.1.Waivers. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws, each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any judicial hearing in connection with the Agent’s taking possession of the Collateral or of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made, including without limitation, any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies. To the extent such notice may not be waived under Applicable Law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to any Grantor, addressed as set forth in Article 8, at least 10 days prior to (a) the date of any such public sale or (b) the time after which any such private disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Agent arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except those arising out of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Agent, any valuation, stay (other than an automatic stay under any applicable Debtor Relief Law), appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar law and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law) of any kind or all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

SECTION 7.2.Limitation on Agent’s Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Agent shall not have any obligation to clean or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession; provided that the Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to which it accords its own property. The Agent shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Agent, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that Applicable Laws impose duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it

B-24

would be commercially reasonable for the Agent (a) to elect not to incur expenses to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to elect not to obtain third-party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third-party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to elect not to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss in connection with any collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral or (l) to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7.02 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7.02. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7.02 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7.02.

SECTION 7.3.[Reserved].

SECTION 7.4.Agent Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Agent may, at any time when an Event of Default exists and is continuing and upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay under this Security Agreement and which obligation is due and unpaid and not being contested by such Grantor in good faith, and such Grantor shall reimburse the Agent for any amounts paid by the Agent pursuant to this Section 7.04 as an Obligation payable in accordance with Section 13.5(a) of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 7.5.No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the Agent to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein,

B-25

and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Grantors and the Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the Lenders to the extent required under Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and remedies of the Agent and the Secured Parties contained in this Security Agreement or afforded by law shall be cumulative, are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have and all shall be available to the Agent and each Secured Party until the Termination Date.

SECTION 7.6.Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any Applicable Laws, and all of the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory Applicable Laws that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that such provisions do not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, any provision of this Security 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 of this Security Agreement; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 7.7.Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Agent hereunder, the security interests granted hereunder and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to the foregoing, (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Lien on any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guaranty, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any Grantor, (e) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of, any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of this Security Agreement or any other Credit Document or (f) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Security Agreement (other than a termination of any Lien contemplated by Section 7.12 or the occurrence of the Termination Date).

SECTION 7.8.Benefit of Security Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Grantor, the Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including all Persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement). No sale of participations, assignments,

B-26

transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Agent hereunder for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties.

SECTION 7.9.Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of each Grantor contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement until the Termination Date.

SECTION 7.10.Additional Grantors. Upon the execution and delivery by any Subsidiary or by Successor Holdings or Successor Borrower of an instrument in the form of Exhibit A in accordance with the Credit Agreement, such Person shall become a Subsidiary Party or Additional Party hereunder with the same force and effect as if such Person was originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor or any other Person. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement.

SECTION 7.11.Headings. The titles of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.

SECTION 7.12.Termination or Release.

(a)This Security Agreement shall continue in effect until the Termination Date, and the Liens granted hereunder shall automatically be released in the circumstances described in Section 13.17 of the Credit Agreement.

(b)In connection with any termination or release pursuant to Section 7.12(a), the Agent shall promptly execute (if applicable) and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all UCC termination statements and similar documents evidencing the termination of liens that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.12 shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Agent or any Secured Party. The Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for all costs and expenses, including any fees and expenses of counsel, incurred by it in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 7.12 pursuant to and to the extent required by Section 13.5(a) of the Credit Agreement.

(c)The Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Party as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Agent in good faith believes to be in accordance with) the terms of this Section 7.12.

(d)At any time that a Grantor desires that the Agent take any action to acknowledge or give effect to any release of Collateral pursuant to Section 7.12(a), upon request by the Agent, such Grantor shall deliver to the Agent a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of such Grantor (or the Borrower on behalf of such Grantor) stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to such Section 7.12(a) and the terms of the Credit Agreement.

B-27

At any time that any Grantor desires that a Restricted Subsidiary of such Grantor be released hereunder, it shall deliver to the Agent a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of such Grantor (or the Borrower on behalf of such Grantor) stating that the release of the respective Grantor (and its Collateral) is permitted pursuant to such Section 7.12(a) and the terms of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 7.13.Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement, together with the other Credit Documents (including any Intercreditor Agreement), embodies the entire agreement and understanding between each Grantor and the Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between any Grantor and the Agent relating to the Collateral.

SECTION 7.14.GOVERNING LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

[The] [Each] undersigned Subsidiary ([each a] [the] “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a [Subsidiary Party] [Additional Party] under the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuers to make additional extensions of credit and as consideration for extensions of credit previously made and to secure the Obligations, including its obligations under the Guarantee, each Secured Hedging Agreement and each Secured Cash Management Agreement.

Accordingly, the Agent and [the] [each] New Grantor agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 7.10 of the Security Agreement, [the] [each] New Grantor by its signature below becomes a [Subsidiary Party] [Additional Party] and a Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor, and [the] [each] New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a [Subsidiary Party] [Additional Party] and Grantor thereunder and (b) makes the representations and warranties applicable to it as a Grantor under the Security Agreement[, subject to

Schedule A hereto,] on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, [the] [each] New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations, does hereby create and grant to the Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and permitted assigns, a security interest in and Lien on all of such New Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral of such New Grantor. Each reference to a “Grantor” and [“Subsidiary Party”] [“Additional Party”] in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include [the] [each] New Grantor. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. [The] [Each] New Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to Applicable Laws.

SECTION 3. This Supplement 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 Supplement shall become effective when the Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of [the] [each] New Grantor and the Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or by email as a “.pdf” or “.tif” attachment shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

SECTION 4. [The] [Each] New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule B attached hereto is (i) the legal name of such New Grantor, (ii) the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and chief executive office of such New Grantor, (iii) the identity or type of organization or corporate structure of such New Grantor and (iv) the Federal Taxpayer Identification Number and organizational number of such New Grantor and (b) as of the date hereof, Schedule C hereto sets forth all of the Registered Intellectual Property Collateral owned by a such New Grantor in its name, and indicates for each such item, as applicable, the application and/or registration number, date and jurisdiction of filing and/or issuance, and the identity of the current applicant or registered owner (c) Schedule D hereto sets forth all of the Commercial Tort Claims of such New Grantor with a value in excess of $25,000,000 and (d) Schedule E hereto sets forth all of the Pledged Stock and Material Debt Instruments of such New Grantor.

SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). Each of the Borrower and the Agent shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 8.01 of the Security Agreement.

SECTION 9. [The] [Each] New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Agent for its expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel in accordance with Section 13.5(a) of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 10. This Supplement shall constitute a Credit Document, under and as defined in, the Credit Agreement.
