1.08 Pro Forma Calculations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (A) the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio, Consolidated EBITDA and other financial calculations shall be calculated (including, but not limited to, for purposes of Section 2.14) on a Pro Forma Basis with respect to each Specified Transaction occurring during the applicable four quarter period to which such calculation relates, or subsequent to the end of such four-quarter period but not later than the date of such calculation; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, when calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable,

for purposes of determining (a) the applicable percentage of Net Cash Proceeds from Dispositions and Casualty Events set forth in Section 2.05(b), (b) actual compliance (and not Pro Forma Compliance or compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with the maximum First Lien Net Leverage Ratio pursuant to Section 7.11, and (c) the Applicable Rate and the Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage, the events described in the definition of Pro Forma Basis (and corresponding provisions of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA) that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable four quarter period shall not be given Pro Forma Effect and (B) when calculating availability under any basket consisting of a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA, such calculation shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any action required to be taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:

(i) calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio or the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio and other financial calculations (including, but not limited to, for purposes of Section 2.14);

(ii) determining compliance with representations, warranties, Defaults or Events of Default; or

(iii) testing availability under covenant baskets set forth in this Agreement (including covenant baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA);

in each case, at the option of the Borrower (which the Borrower shall not be required to notify the Administrative Agent or any Lender) (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions required to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as of the LCT Test Date, the Borrower would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with; provided that availability under any ratio and the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may in any event be recalculated, at the option of the Borrower, on the closing date of the Limited Condition Transaction; provided, further, that with respect to any determination of whether a Default or Event of Default condition is satisfied, such condition shall only be satisfied if there is no continuing Default or Event of Default as of the LCT Test Date and no Specified Event of Default at the time the applicable Limited Condition Transaction is consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests 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, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability with respect to any transaction required to be entered into in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction 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 for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining whether any such required transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and such other required transaction (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. If the Borrower has

made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any other ratio, test or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of Restricted Payments, the making of any permitted Investment, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, in each case, not required to be entered into in connection with the applicable Limited Condition Transaction (a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (x) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (y) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (or the date on which the Borrower demonstrates to the Administrative Agent that it has elected not to pursue such Limited Condition Transaction), for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

(c) 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 on which the calculation of the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness); provided that, in the case of repayment of any Indebtedness, to the extent actual interest related thereto was included during all or any portion of such period, the actual interest may be used for the applicable portion of such period. Interest on a Capitalized Lease shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease 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, the London 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 as the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary may designate.

1.09 Basket Calculations.

(a) If any of the baskets set forth in this Agreement are exceeded solely as a result of either (x) fluctuations to Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed fiscal quarter after the last time such baskets were calculated for any purpose under this Agreement or (y) fluctuations in applicable currency exchange rates after the last time such baskets were calculated for any purpose under this Agreement, such baskets will not be deemed to have been exceeded solely as a result of such fluctuations; provided that for purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar denominated restrictions on the incurrence of Liens, Investments, Indebtedness, Dispositions, Restricted Payments or Junior Financing Prepayments, the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of such Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Disposition, Restricted Payment or Junior Financing Prepayment shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such incurrence, granting, making or application, as applicable; provided, further, that the maximum amount of any Liens, Investments, Indebtedness, Dispositions, Restricted Payments or Junior Financing Prepayment shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.

(b) With respect to the calculation of any leverage ratio herein or in any other Loan Document prior to the first date that financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), such leverage ratio shall be tested with respect to the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarter period ended March 31, 2021 (and Consolidated EBITDA, as used in any such ratio, shall be determined in accordance with the last paragraph of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”).

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with any Section of Article VII, in the event that any Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Disposition, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, Contractual Obligation or Junior Financing Prepayment meets the criteria of one or more than one of the categories of transactions permitted pursuant to any clause of such Sections, such transaction (or portion thereof) at any time shall be permitted under one or more of such clauses as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion at such time, and if such exceptions and baskets in a given covenant include a combination of fixed amounts (including any component thereof based on a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA) (each, a “Fixed Amount Basket”) and amounts permitted under ratio-based tests in concurrent transactions, any utilization of a ratio-based basket in such covenant concurrently with a fixed basket in such covenant shall be calculated without giving effect to the concurrent utilization of such Fixed Amount Basket (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any calculation of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio and any other ratio-based test shall disregard the proceeds of any concurrent incurrence of Indebtedness under a Fixed Amount Basket). Furthermore, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time divide, classify or reclassify, any such transaction (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such transaction in any one category; provided that (w) all Indebtedness outstanding under the Loan Documents (including any Incremental Facilities) will at all times be deemed to be outstanding in reliance on Section 7.03(a), (x) all Permitted ABL Indebtedness and other Indebtedness secured by Liens on assets in a comparable manner to the Permitted ABL Indebtedness will at all times be deemed to be outstanding in reliance on Section 7.03(ii), (y) all Indebtedness under Swap Contracts will at all times be deemed to be outstanding in reliance on Section 7.03(g), and (z) no such classification or reclassification shall obviate the requirement for any Indebtedness secured by any of the Collateral to be subject to one or more Intercreditor Agreements.

(d) With respect to each “dollar basket” set forth in, with respect to the following clause (i), Section 7.06, and with respect to the following clause (ii), Section 7.14, the Borrower shall be permitted to (i) use amounts available for Restricted Payments under Section 7.06 for Investments and Junior Financing Prepayments and (ii) use amounts available for Junior Financing Prepayments under Section 7.14 for Investments.

(e) With respect to each “basket” or “component” in respect of which availability increases based on voluntary prepayments, permanent commitment reductions or purchases of Indebtedness (e.g., Permitted Other Indebtedness and Incremental Facilities), such increases in availability shall be limited to the amount of cash paid to effect such prepayments, reductions or purchases.

1.10 Classification of Loans and Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement, Loans may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Credit Loan”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Rate Loan”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Revolving Credit Loan”). Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Credit Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing”).

1.11 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

Each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans upon less than three (3) Business Days’ notice shall be made as Base Rate Loans only. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing of, or conversion to, Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided that Base Rate Loans may be made in a lesser aggregate amount that is equal to the entire undrawn amount of Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (1) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, a conversion of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, if applicable, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (2) the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (3) the principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (4) the currency in which the Revolving Credit Loans are to be denominated (if any Alternative Currencies are then available), (5) the Type of Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, (6) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (7) the Borrower of such Revolving Credit Loan. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Revolving Credit Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. If the Committed Loan Notice does not specify the Borrower of the Revolving Credit Loans, it will be deemed to have specified the Lead Borrower. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or automatic continuation as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Each Borrowing and payment of Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars (other than pursuant to Section 2.07(d)) or as a result of the voluntary reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments on a non-pro rata basis as between different Classes of the Revolving Credit Facility) will be made on a pro rata basis among all Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments denominated in Dollars.

(c) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or automatic continuation as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month described in Sections 2.02(a) and (b).

(d) In the case of a Borrowing of Term Loans, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Term Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 noon (Local Time) on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(e) In the case of a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office (A) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, not later than 12:00 noon (Local Time) on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice and (B) with respect to Base Rate Loans, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowing, and second, to the Borrower as provided above.

(f) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Loans be prepaid or any or all of the then outstanding (x) Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars be converted into Base Rate Loans and (y) Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in any other Alternative Currency be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans having an Interest Period of one (1) month, in each case on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto or on such other day as the Required Lenders may demand.

(g) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the applicable Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate and the Spot Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining such rate promptly following the announcement of such change.

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

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

2.03 Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrower and the Guarantors set forth in this Section 2.03 and elsewhere in the Loan Documents and subject to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date applicable to such L/C Issuer, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars at the request of and for the account of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) to honor drafts or other demands for payment presented under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (v) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders, (w) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (x) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (y) the face amount of Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer would exceed the Applicable L/C Sublimit of such L/C Issuer, or (z) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 are not satisfied with respect to such L/C Credit Extension as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The Borrower may, in its discretion, select which L/C Issuer is to issue any particular Letter of Credit, subject to the Applicable L/C Sublimit of each L/C Issuer. Upon the Maturity Date of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, the Applicable L/C Sublimit of each L/C Issuer shall be reduced on a pro rata basis with that of each other L/C Issuer to the extent the Applicable L/C Sublimits collectively exceed the amount of the remaining Revolving Credit Commitments after any such Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event may the Applicable L/C Sublimit of any L/C Issuer be increased under this Agreement without the consent of such L/C Issuer. If the Maturity Date in respect of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have so occurred are then in effect, the Revolving Credit Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments under such non-maturing Classes shall be required to purchase ratable participations in such Letter of Credit to cover the participations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under such maturing Class up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments under such non-maturing Classes at such time and (ii) to the extent not fully reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit. If the Borrower is required to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and fails to do so, such Letter of Credit will be deemed to be drawn and the provisions of Section 2.03(c), including the provisions relating to a request for a Revolving Credit Borrowing and the funding of Lenders’ participations, will be applicable as if such Letter of Credit were drawn.

(ii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to make any L/C Credit Extension if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from making such L/C Credit Extension, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit or financial accommodations generally or such L/C Credit Extension in particular (it being acknowledged and agreed that an L/C Issuer shall be entitled to cancel any outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer if any such order, judgment or decree or any such Law, request or directive shall apply to such Letter of Credit) or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to letters of credit or financial accommodations generally or such L/C Credit Extension any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date;

(B) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit (other than a Letter of Credit which may have a longer expiry date as agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and, if such longer expiry date is after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date for the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders) would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Revolving Lenders, the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer have approved such expiry date;

(C) the expiry date of any requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date for the applicable L/C Issuer, unless all of the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer have approved such expiry date;

(D) such L/C Credit Extension would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer now or hereafter in effect or the Borrower shall not have complied with Section 10.21(b) with respect to such L/C Credit Extension;

(E) such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $5,000, in the case of a commercial or documentary Letter of Credit or a Letter of Credit in the form of a guarantee, warranty, bond or a similar instrument, or $100,000, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit, or such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;

(F) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 are not satisfied with respect to such L/C Credit Extension as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension;

(G) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the applicable L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the applicable L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the applicable L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or

(H) such Letter of Credit is not a standby Letter of Credit unless consented to by the applicable L/C Issuer.

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

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

(v) It is agreed that, in the case of the issuance of any commercial or documentary Letter of Credit, such commercial or documentary Letter of Credit shall in no event provide for time drafts or bankers’ acceptances.

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

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the applicable Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) at least three (3) Business Days (or such later date and time as such L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and such Borrower may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the type thereof; (D) the expiry date thereof; (E) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (F) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (H) the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated; (I) whether the Letter of Credit is issued for the account of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary (and identifying such Restricted Subsidiary); provided that the applicable Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and shall be jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary; and (J) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably request (including the form of the requested Letter of Credit). In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably request.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the applicable Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by such L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested L/C Credit Extension is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof (including the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02), then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Facilities times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If a Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C 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 L/C Issuer, such Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C 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) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date of the applicable L/C Issuer; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise) or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone (if promptly confirmed in writing) or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or, if no Default or Event of Default is continuing, such Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied.

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

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

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender (including each Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan with respect to each Letter of Credit to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.

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

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

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

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

(d) Repayment of Participations.

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

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such

L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of such L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by the Administrative Agent or such L/C Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(vi) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant currency to any Borrower or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(vii) 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 Borrower.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of

the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the applicable L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit or any proceeds thereof; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against such L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, exemplary, special, indirect or punitive, damages suffered by such Borrower which have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have been caused by such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, whether or not the same may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Applicability of ISP, UCP and Other Rules. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the applicable Borrower or when it is amended with the consent of the beneficiary thereof, (i) with respect to each Letter of Credit that is a standby letter of credit, the rules of the ISP shall apply to such Letter of Credit that is a standby letter of credit and (ii) with respect to each Letter of Credit that is a commercial or documentary letter of credit, the rules of the UCP shall apply to such Letter of Credit that is a commercial or documentary letter of credit. Such rules as determined by the L/C Issuer in consultation with the applicable Borrower shall apply to each Letter of Credit that is a bank guarantee, guarantee, performance bond, advance payment guarantee or bond, warranty, bid guarantee or bond or any other similar guarantee, indemnity or other financial accommodation requested by such Borrower and consented to by the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer.

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a Letter of Credit fee (the “L/C Fee”) for each Letter of Credit for which such Borrower is the applicant or co-applicant, as applicable, equal to the Applicable Rate then in effect for Eurocurrency Rate Loans with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility in respect of which such Revolving Credit Lender holds Revolving Credit Commitments times the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases automatically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit), in each case, without duplication; provided that the L/C Fee shall be increased by 2.00% per annum following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Specified Event of Default; provided, however, that (i) any L/C Fee otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the applicable

L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 and Section 2.15 and as to which the Fronting Exposure of such Defaulting Lender has been reallocated to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Pro Rata Shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(iv) shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Pro Rata Shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(iv), with the balance of such L/C Fee, if any, payable to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, the L/C Fee shall be due and payable in full regardless of whether all or a portion of the Letters of Credit outstanding have been Cash Collateralized. Such L/C Fee shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such L/C Fee shall be due and payable in Dollars on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(i) Fronting Fee Payable to an L/C Issuer. Each Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account customary fees, costs and charges upon the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit at the then prevailing rates; provided that a fronting fee in Dollars with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer for which such Borrower is the applicant or co-applicant, as applicable, may not be payable at a rate greater than 0.125% per annum of the daily face amount of such Letter of Credit (and it is agreed that the fronting fee payable to any L/C Issuer hereunder shall be 0.125% per annum unless otherwise agreed to by such L/C Issuer). Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account and to each of its correspondents in relation to any such Letter of Credit or any drawing thereunder the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer or such correspondent relating to Letters of Credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within fifteen (15) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.

(j) Other Letters of Credit. A Borrower shall request a Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof by notifying each of the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer in writing not later than 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) at least ten (10) Business Days (or such later date and time as such L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date of such Letter of Credit of its request for such issuance and specifying in such notice (i) the proposed issuance date of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the proposed amount thereof; (iii) the proposed type thereof; (iv) the proposed expiry date thereof; (v) the proposed name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (vi) the proposed documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vii) the proposed full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (viii) the proposed currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated. Each of the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to such Letter of Credit by notifying such Borrower in writing not later than 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date of such Letter of Credit (or such later date and time as such L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and such Borrower may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion); provided that (A) the consent of each of the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer shall be required with respect to each such Letter of Credit, which consent may be withheld in the Administrative Agent’s and the applicable L/C Issuer’s discretion and (B) if the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have notified such Borrower within

such time period, the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have declined to consent to such Letter of Credit. None of the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer shall be obligated to consent to such Letter of Credit, unless it so consents in its sole discretion.

(k) [Reserved].

(l) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

(m) Additional L/C Issuers. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Revolving Credit Lender, designate one or more additional Revolving Credit Lenders to act as an L/C Issuer under the terms of this Agreement. Any Revolving Credit Lender designated as an L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03(m) shall be deemed to be an “L/C Issuer” (in addition to being a Revolving Credit Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued (or, in the case of Letters of Credit issued by such Revolving Credit Lender to Persons acquired by the Borrower in Permitted Acquisitions, rolled over into this Agreement) by such Revolving Credit Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, the term “L/C Issuer” shall thereafter apply to the other L/C Issuers and such Revolving Credit Lender. The acceptance of any designation as an L/C Issuer hereunder by a Revolving Credit Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such Revolving Credit Lender, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Credit Lender shall have all the interests, rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such Revolving Credit Lender in addition to any other L/C Issuers, as the context shall require. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional L/C Issuer. The definition of “Applicable L/C Sublimit” shall be amended by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to reflect the share of the Letter of Credit Sublimit of such newly designated L/C Issuer and (if applicable) the corresponding proportionate decrease in the share of the Letter of Credit Sublimit of the other L/C Issuers.

(n) Resignation or Replacement of an L/C Issuer. Any L/C Issuer may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Borrower. An L/C Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced L/C Issuer (provided that the replaced L/C Issuer shall not be required to execute or deliver any written agreement if the replaced L/C Issuer has no Letters of Credit or reimbursement obligations with respect thereto outstanding) and the successor L/C Issuer. On the date of effectiveness of such resignation, the applicable Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees to the resigning L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(i). After its resignation as an L/C Issuer hereunder, (i) the resigning L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but, after receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Borrower of notice of resignation from an L/C Issuer, such L/C Issuer shall not be required, and shall be discharged from its obligations, to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or increase the amount of Letters of Credit then outstanding, without affecting its rights and obligations with respect to Letters of Credit previously issued by it, and (ii) the provisions of Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an L/C Issuer under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such replacement of an L/C Issuer or any such additional L/C Issuer.

2.04 [Reserved].

2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Optional.

(i) Generally. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit R hereof (or in a writing in any other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each a “Notice of Prepayment/Commitment Reduction”), at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Class of Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (subject to Section 2.05(d)); provided that (A) such Notice of Prepayment/Commitment Reduction must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (x) 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such Notice of Prepayment/Commitment Reduction shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) and Class(es) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such Notice of Prepayment/Commitment Reduction, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the relevant Facility). If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such Notice of Prepayment/Commitment Reduction shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.16 each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied in direct order of maturities to the principal repayment installments (or proportional fractions thereof) applicable to each of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(a) or (b) of the applicable Class or as otherwise directed by the Borrower, and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. All prepayments under this Section 2.05(a)(i) shall be subject to Section 2.05(d).

(ii) [Reserved].

(iii) Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any Notice of Prepayment/Commitment Reduction under Section 2.05(a)(i) or (ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of the Facilities or other contingent transaction, which refinancing or transaction shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(iv) Voluntary Non-Pro-Rata Prepayments.

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Borrower Purchasing Party shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Class of Term Loans at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans and on a non pro rata basis (each, a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”) without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 3.05) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 2.05(a)(iv); provided that, on the date of any such Discounted Voluntary

Prepayment, such Borrower Purchasing Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating (1) that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (after giving effect to any related waivers or amendments obtained in connection with such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment), (2) that each of the conditions to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment contained in this Section 2.05(a)(iv) has been satisfied, (3) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so prepaid pursuant to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, and (4) that such Borrower Purchasing Party shall not use the proceeds of any Credit Extension under the Revolving Credit Facility to acquire such Term Loans.

(B) To the extent any Borrower Purchasing Party seeks to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, such Borrower Purchasing Party will provide written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto (each, a “Discounted Prepayment Option Notice”) that such Borrower Purchasing Party desires to prepay Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by such Borrower Purchasing Party (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount”), in each case at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans as specified below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of Term Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment: (1) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount for the Term Loans, (2) a discount range (which may be a single percentage) selected by such Borrower Purchasing Party with respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of Term Loans (the “Discount Range”); provided that such Borrower Purchasing Party may elect not to include a Discount Range in the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, and (3) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment which shall be at least five (5) Business Days following the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (the “Acceptance Date”).

(C) Upon receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify all Term Lenders. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each such Term Lender may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto (each, a “Lender Participation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (1) a maximum discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”), which Acceptable Discount shall be within the Discount Range, if a Discount Range is specified in the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (for example, a Lender specifying a discount to par of 20% would accept a purchase price of 80% of the par value of the Term Loans to be prepaid), and (2) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of Term Loans held by such Lender with respect to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Discount (the “Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of the Offered Loans specified by the Lenders in the applicable Lender Participation Notice, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower Purchasing Party, acting jointly, shall determine the applicable discount for the Term Loans (the “Applicable Discount”), which Applicable Discount shall be (I) the percentage specified by such Borrower Purchasing Party if such Borrower Purchasing Party has selected a single percentage pursuant to clause (B) above for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (II) otherwise, the highest Acceptable Discount at which such Borrower Purchasing Party can pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest

Acceptable Discount); provided, however, that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount, the Applicable Discount shall be (x) the highest Acceptable Discount within the Discount Range or (y) if no Discount Range was specified in the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, the highest Acceptable Discount acceptable to such Borrower Purchasing Party. The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and have Qualifying Loans. Any Lender with outstanding Term Loans whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Applicable Discount.

(D) The applicable Borrower Purchasing Party shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying those Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) offered by the Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, such Borrower Purchasing Party shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, such Borrower Purchasing Party shall prepay all Qualifying Loans. In connection with each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iv), each Qualifying Lender acknowledges and agrees that in connection therewith, (1) such Lender has independently and, without reliance on the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to participate in such prepayment and (2) none of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties or the Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to make any representation that it is not in possession of material non-public information regarding Holdings, the Sponsor and their respective Affiliates.

(E) Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the Acceptance Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower Purchasing Party shall reasonably agree, given the time required to calculate the Applicable Discount and determine the amount and holders of Qualifying Loans), without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 3.05), upon irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit N hereto (each a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 noon (Local Time), one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount determined by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Qualifying Lenders, subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Term Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to but not including such date on the amount prepaid.

(F) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of the Applicable Discount in accordance with clause (C) above) established by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the applicable Borrower Purchasing Party.

(G) Prior to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, (1) the applicable Borrower Purchasing Party may withdraw its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option Notice and (2) any Lender may withdraw its offer to participate in a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Lender Participation Notice.

(H) For the avoidance of doubt, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be an automatic and immediate cancellation and extinguishment of the Term Loans prepaid. With respect to each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (1) the applicable Borrower Purchasing Party shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the par principal amount of the applicable Term Loans to the date of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and, if any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is prepaid on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrower Purchasing Party shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.05 and (2) such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall not change the scheduled amortization of the Term Loans required by Section 2.07, except to reduce the amount outstanding and due and payable on the Maturity Date of the Class of Term Loans subject to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (and such reduction, for the avoidance of doubt, shall only apply, on a non-pro rata basis, to the Term Loans that are the subject of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment).

In connection with any voluntary prepayment of any Class of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a), such prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by a Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) Excess Cash Flow. In respect of any Excess Cash Flow Period, within ten (10) Business Days after financial statements have been (or were required to be) delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been (or was required to be) delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a), the Borrower shall, subject to Section 2.05(c), prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to (A) 50% (as may be adjusted pursuant to the final proviso below) of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period covered by such financial statements, minus (B) the aggregate amount of voluntary principal prepayments of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) (except prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans unless accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility) and any premium or penalty payments paid in cash in connection therewith, minus (C) the principal amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to all Discounted Voluntary Prepayments under Section 2.05(a)(iv) and all open market repurchases of Term Loans pursuant to

Section 10.07(i) in each case, based on the par amount thereof, minus (D) the aggregate amount of voluntary principal prepayments (including the principal amount of such Indebtedness repaid or purchased at a discount, so long as such Indebtedness is retired or cancelled) of any other Indebtedness secured by the Collateral (except prepayments of revolving Indebtedness unless accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction in respect thereof) and any premium or penalty payments paid in cash in connection therewith, minus (E) Capital Expenditures made in cash, minus (F) cash used to consummate any Permitted Acquisition or Investment, including any cash payments made in respect of Incentive Arrangements from the Transactions or Permitted Acquisitions consummated in a prior fiscal year, and other Investments actually made and permitted under Section 7.02 (other than pursuant to clauses (a), (c), (h), (m), (r) and (ee)), minus (G) Restricted Payments made in cash by Holdings, to the extent such Restricted Payments are permitted to be made by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries under Section 7.06(e), (f), (h), (i), (j) or (k) (in the case of clauses (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H) and (I), to the extent such payments or prepayments are made (or, in the case of clauses (E) and (F), committed to be made) prior to the date of such Excess Cash Flow payment (but without including in clauses (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H) and (I) any amount included therein in any prior period), except to the extent financed with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (excluding any revolving facility)), minus (G) $10,000,000, minus (H) cash Restructuring Charges, retention, recruiting, relocation, severance and signing bonuses and expenses, minus (I) at the option of the Borrower, and without duplication of any amounts deducted pursuant to any of the foregoing clauses, the aggregate consideration to be paid by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in cash pursuant to binding contracts entered into prior to the date on which such Excess Cash Flow payment is required to be made relating to Capital Expenditures and software development and capitalized development costs and Investments and Restricted Payments of the type included in clauses (F) and (G) above in each case that is certified in writing by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to be contractually obligated (or, in the case of Capital Expenditures, budgeted) to be paid within 365 days after such certificate (provided that (x) no such amount shall be credited against any payments due in the subsequent Excess Cash Flow Period and (y) amounts deducted pursuant to this clause (I) and not actually paid in such 365-day period shall be prepaid in the subsequent Excess Cash Flow Period); provided that to the extent any amounts pursuant to clauses (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H) and (I) above reduce the required prepayments with respect to any Excess Cash Flow Period to an amount less than $0, such amounts in excess of $0 may be credited against the applicable percentage of Excess Cash Flow for any subsequent Excess Cash Flow Period in which the required prepayments under this Section 2.05(b) exceed $0 until such excess amount has been fully applied; provided, further, that such percentage shall be reduced to 25% or 0% if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year was not greater than 3.75:1.00 or 3.25:1.00, respectively.

(ii) Dispositions and Casualty Events.

(A) If (x) Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any Collateral pursuant to Section 7.05(o) (excluding, if any Permitted ABL Indebtedness is outstanding, any ABL Priority Collateral (as defined in the Permitted ABL Intercreditor Agreement)) or (y) any Casualty Event occurs with respect to Collateral, and any transaction or series of related transactions described in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) results in the realization or receipt by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the greater of (x) $22.0 million and (y) 17.5% of Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower for the most recently ended Test Period in any such transaction or series of related transactions, the Borrower shall, except to the extent the Borrower elects to reinvest all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with clause (B) below, subject to Section 2.05(c), prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an

amount equal to 100% of all such Net Cash Proceeds (such amount, after giving effect to any reinvestment pursuant to clause (B) below, the “Required Asset Sale Prepayment Amount”) within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such percentage shall be reduced to 50% or 0% if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio was not greater than 3.75:1.00 or 3.25:1.00, respectively, as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period.

(B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition of any Collateral pursuant to Section 7.05(o) (excluding, if any Permitted ABL Indebtedness is outstanding, any ABL Priority Collateral (as defined in the Permitted ABL Intercreditor Agreement)) or any Casualty Event (other than as specifically excluded in clause (A) above), at the option of the Borrower, and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its business within 18 months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, if Holdings, the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has contractually committed within 18 months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds in the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, 24 months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds); provided, however, that if any Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be so reinvested at any time after receipt thereof or are not reinvested by the end of such period, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05; provided, further, that the Borrower may elect to deem expenditures that otherwise would be permissible reinvestments that occur prior to receipt of the proceeds of a Disposition to have been reinvested in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B), so long as such deemed expenditure shall have been made not more than 18 months prior to the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(iii) Indebtedness. Upon the incurrence or issuance by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Specified Refinancing Indebtedness or Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03, the applicable Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary.

(iv) Revolving Credit Commitments. If for any reason the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans of each Class on a pro rata basis (unless the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings of a given Class of Revolving Credit Commitments exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class as a result of a non-pro rata voluntary reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, in which case such prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied first to such Class) or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(iv) unless, after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

(vii) Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be made together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of Section 2.05(b), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the applicable Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from such Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05(b). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from such Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in respect of which such Cash Collateral was deposited in accordance with this Section 2.05(b).

(viii) Adverse Consequences. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition or Excess Cash Flow are prohibited or delayed by applicable local Law from being repatriated to the United States (as determined by the Borrower in good faith), the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or such Excess Cash Flow so affected (any such portion being “Restricted Proceeds”) will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05(b)) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local Law will not permit repatriation to the United States, and once such repatriation of any of such Restricted Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local Law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Restricted Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) and (ii) to

the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition or Excess Cash Flow would have material adverse tax cost consequences (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or such portion of the Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be, such Net Cash Proceeds or portion of the Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be, so affected may be retained, and the amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or such portion of Excess Cash Flow subject to clauses (i) and (ii) above otherwise required to be applied to prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(b) shall not be required to be applied to such prepayments unless and until such amounts are no longer Restricted Proceeds or such material adverse tax cost consequences no longer exist.

(ix) Order of Payments. Subject to adjustment for Declining Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05(c), in connection with any prepayment of any Class of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), such prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05.

(c) Term Opt-out. With respect to any prepayment of any Term Facility pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii), any Term Lender, at its option, may elect not to accept such prepayment; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no such Term Lender may elect to accept a partial prepayment. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such prepayment of any Term Facility, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Term Lenders of the amount available to prepay the Term Loans (the “Prepayment Amount”) and the date on which such prepayment shall be made (the “Prepayment Date”), which date shall be five (5) Business Days after the date of such receipt. Any Lender declining such prepayment (a “Declining Lender”) shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Prepayment Date. On the Prepayment Date, an amount equal to that portion of the Prepayment Amount accepted by the Term Lenders other than the Declining Lenders (such Lenders being the “Accepting Lenders”) to prepay Term Loans owing to such Accepting Lenders shall be applied ratably to prepay Term Loans owing to such Accepting Lenders in the manner described in Section 2.05(b) for such prepayment. Any amounts that would otherwise have been applied to prepay Term Loans owing to Declining Lenders shall be retained by the Borrower and used for general corporate purposes (such amounts, “Declined Amounts”).

(d) Prepayment Premium. (i) Any optional prepayment of any portion of the outstanding Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) in connection with a Repricing Transaction (including any mandatory assignment pursuant to Section 3.07 in connection therewith) and (ii) any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii) in connection with a Repricing Transaction or any amendment to this Agreement in connection with a Repricing Transaction (in each case including any mandatory assignment pursuant to Section 3.07 in connection therewith), in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), on or prior to December 29, 2021 (the “Prepayment Premium Expiration Date”), shall be subject to a premium equal to the principal amount of Term Loans subject to such prepayment or the principal amount of Term Loans affected by such amendment (or mandatorily assigned in connection therewith), as applicable, multiplied by 1%. Any prepayment of all or any portion of the outstanding Term Loans after the Prepayment Premium Expiration Date shall not be subject to a premium.

2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Optional. The Lead Borrower may, upon delivery of a Notice of Prepayment/Commitment Reduction to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Delayed Draw Term Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Delayed

Draw Term Commitment or the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) the Lead Borrower shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Revolving Credit Facility if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Facility or (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each termination or reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Delayed Draw Term Commitments under this Section 2.06(a) shall be made, at the Lead Borrower’s option, to any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments or Delayed Draw Term Commitment, as applicable, outstanding on such date ratably among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of such Class. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, in each case, for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, any fees on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments or Delayed Draw Term Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any Notice of Prepayment/Commitment Reduction under Section 2.06(a) if such termination or reduction would have resulted from a refinancing of the Facilities or other contingent transaction, which refinancing or transaction shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) The aggregate Closing Date Term Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero after the making of the Closing Date Term Borrowing on the Closing Date.

(ii) The aggregate Delayed Draw Term Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced (x) on the date of funding of any Delayed Draw Term Loans, by an amount equal to the Delayed Draw Term Loans that are funded on such date, and (y) to zero on the Delayed Draw Term Commitment Termination Date.

(iii) The Letter of Credit Sublimit shall automatically be reduced proportionately to any reduction or termination of unused Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.06, unless otherwise requested by the Borrower and consented by the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer.

(iv) The aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of each Class under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the Maturity Date for such Class under the Revolving Credit Facility.

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

2.07 Repayment of Loans.

(a) Closing Date Term Loans. Commencing on December 31, 2021, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable accounts of the applicable Term Lenders, the aggregate principal amount of all Closing Date Term Loans outstanding in consecutive quarterly installments in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of such Closing Date Term Loans (which installments shall, to the extent applicable, be (x) reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05, (y) increased as a result of any increase in the amount of the Closing Date Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.14 to provide for the “fungibility” thereof and (z) increased as a result of any adjustments as are necessary to provide for the “fungibility” of any Delayed Draw Term Loans with the Closing Date Term Loans (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no such adjustment shall result in a decrease in the amortization applicable to any Closing Date Term Loans or previously funded Delayed Draw Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to the funding of such Delayed Draw Term Loans)), with each such installment due and payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) prior to the Maturity Date of such Closing Date Term Loans.

(b) Delayed Draw Term Loans. Commencing on December 31, 2021, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable accounts of the applicable Term Lenders, in consecutive quarterly installments a percentage (which shall not be less than 0.25%) of the initial aggregate principal amount of all Delayed Draw Term Loans that have been funded which will enable such Delayed Draw Term Loans to be “fungible” with the Closing Date Term Loans and all previously funded Delayed Draw Term Loans after giving effect to the adjustments set forth in Section 2.07(a) and this Section 2.07(b) (which installments shall, to the extent applicable, be (x) reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05, (y) increased as a result of any increase in the amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.14 to provide for the “fungibility” thereof and (z) increased as a result of the subsequent funding of any Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(b), including any adjustments in connection therewith as are necessary to provide for the “fungibility” of such subsequently funded Delayed Draw Term Loans with the Closing Date Term Loans and any previously funded Delayed Draw Term Loans (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no such adjustment shall result in a decrease in the amortization applicable to any Closing Date Term Loans or previously funded Delayed Draw Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to the funding of such Delayed Draw Term Loans)), with each such installment due and payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) prior to the Maturity Date of such Delayed Draw Term Loans.

(c) Incremental Term Loans. The applicable Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable accounts of the applicable Incremental Term Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans outstanding of each Incremental Term Loan Tranche in such installments as set forth in the Incremental Commitments Amendment with respect to such Incremental Term Loan Tranche (which installments shall, to the extent applicable, be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05, or be increased as a result of any increase in the amount of the Incremental Term Loans of such Incremental Term Loan Tranche pursuant to Section 2.14 (such increased amortization payments to be calculated in the same manner (and on the same basis) as the schedule set forth in the applicable Incremental Commitments Amendment with respect to the Incremental Term Loans made as of the Incremental Commitments Effective Date with respect to such Incremental Term Loan Tranche)).

(d) Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders on the Maturity Date for each Class of Revolving Credit Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans of such Class outstanding on such date.

(e) Maturity Date Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final principal repayment installment of each Class of Term Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date for such Class of Term Loans and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans of such Class outstanding on such date.

2.08 Interest.

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

(b) The applicable Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all overdue Obligations hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Obligations following the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(f) or (g)) at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

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

2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees with respect to Letters of Credit described in Sections 2.03(h) and (i):

(a) Delayed Draw Term Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Delayed Draw Term Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee (the “Delayed Draw Term Commitment Fee”) in Dollars equal to the Delayed Draw Term Commitment Fee Percentage times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Delayed Draw Term Commitments exceed the outstanding principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loans for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16. The Delayed Draw Term Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the Delayed Draw Term

Commitment Termination Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December occurring prior to the Delayed Draw Term Commitment Termination Date, commencing on September 30, 2021, and on the Delayed Draw Term Commitment Termination Date. The Delayed Draw Term Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears.

(b) Revolving Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender of a given Class in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of such Class, a commitment fee (the “Revolving Commitment Fee”) in Dollars equal to the Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage applicable to such Class times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments exceed the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16. The Revolving Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the Latest Maturity Date of all Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 4.02 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on September 30, 2021 and on the Maturity Date for each Class of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Revolving Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears.

(i) The Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date to each Term Lender party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Term Lender’s Closing Date Term Loan on the Closing Date, a funding fee (the “Closing Date Term Loan Funding Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.50% of the stated principal amount of such Term Lender’s Closing Date Term Loans made on the Closing Date. The Closing Date Term Loan Funding Fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Closing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter and shall be netted against Closing Date Term Loans made by such Term Lender on the Closing Date.

(ii) The Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date to each Delayed Draw Term Lender party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the provision of the Delayed Draw Term Commitments on the Closing Date, a delayed draw closing fee (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Closing Fee” and, together with the Closing Date Term Loan Funding Fee, the “Term Loan Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.50% of the stated principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Commitments on the Closing Date. The Delayed Draw Term Loan Closing Fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Closing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter and shall be netted against Closing Date Term Loans made by such Delayed Draw Term Lender on such date.

(d) Other Fees.

(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

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

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

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

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing or fees for such period, (A) the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Compliance Certificate for the applicable period, (B) the Applicable Rate and the Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage shall each be recalculated with the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio at the corrected level, and (C) the applicable Borrower shall retroactively promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer as the case may be, an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any applicable Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(h), 2.03(i), 2.08(b) or under Article VIII. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by each Lender shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the applicable Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit the obligation of such Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the Register, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), Class (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the Register and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error.

100

(c) Entries made in good faith by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b) shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from a Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that the failure of such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in such account or accounts shall not limit the obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. Subject to Section 3.01, all payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, in each case, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in the same currency in which the loans relating to such payment have been made (or otherwise in Dollars) in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the date specified herein; provided that if all Obligations are paid in full and the Credit Agreement is terminated, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, agree to a later time of day for prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received after 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) (or such later time that may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the proviso to the first sentence of this Section) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) Funding and Payments.

(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 12:00 noon (Local Time) on the date of a Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount). In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (x) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (y) in the case of a payment to be made by the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the applicable 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

101

Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

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

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

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

(d) Obligations of the Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.07 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.07 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.07.

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

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

102

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

2.13 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to the prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(iv) or Section 2.05(b)(iii) (out of proceeds of Specified Refinancing Debt), the implementation of any Incremental Commitments Amendment, the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.15 or the assignments and participations described in Section 10.07.

2.14 Incremental Facilities.

(a) Upon written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), at any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may request (i) one or more additional tranches of term loans or increases in any then-existing Term Facility (each an “Incremental Term Commitment” and all of them, collectively, the “Incremental Term Commitments”) and (ii) one or more additional tranches of revolving commitments or increases in the aggregate amount of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, including increases in the Letter of Credit Sublimit to the extent consented to by each affected L/C Issuer (each an “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment” and all of them, collectively, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments” and, together with the Incremental Term Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”); provided that no Lender shall be required to participate in any Incremental Facility; provided, further, that after giving effect to any such addition, the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Commitments that have been added pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not exceed the sum of:

103

(w) (i) the sum of the Fixed Dollar Amount, plus (ii) the General Debt Basket Amount, minus the aggregate principal amount of all Permitted Other Indebtedness incurred under clause (w) of the definition thereof, plus

(x) in the case of any Incremental Facility that serves to effectively extend the maturity or effect the repricing of any Term Facility, the Revolving Credit Facility, any Incremental Facility, any other facilities under this Agreement, any Permitted Other Indebtedness or any Specified Refinancing Indebtedness (collectively, “Specified Indebtedness”), an amount equal to the portion of any such facility that will be replaced by such Incremental Facility plus any related fees, costs and expenses (including original issue discount and upfront fees and prepayment penalties and premium), provided that if such Indebtedness is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is junior to the Lien securing the Initial Facilities or is unsecured, such Incremental Facility shall be secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is junior to the Lien securing the Initial Facilities or unsecured, as applicable (in each case, without duplication of any utilization of clause (x) of the definition of “Permitted Other Indebtedness” in respect of such Indebtedness being so extended), plus

(y) without duplication, the aggregate principal amount of all voluntary terminations of any portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and all voluntary prepayments and debt buybacks (which shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, any redemption, open market purchase and consummated offer to purchase including pursuant to any “yank-a-bank” provision) of Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.05(a)(i) and (iv) and Section 10.07(i) (to the extent made by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) and prepayments of other Specified Indebtedness, (i) with respect to Incremental Facilities that are secured by a Lien on any or all of the Collateral that is pari passu with the Lien securing the Initial Facilities, of any class of Specified Indebtedness secured by a Lien on any or all of the Collateral that is pari passu with the Lien securing the Initial Facilities, (ii) with respect to Incremental Facilities that are secured by a Lien on any or all of the Collateral that is junior to the Lien securing the Initial Facilities, of any class of Specified Indebtedness secured by a Lien on any or all of the Collateral that is pari passu with or junior to the Lien securing the Initial Facilities and (iii) with respect to Incremental Facilities that are unsecured, of any class of Specified Indebtedness secured by a lien on any or all of the Collateral that is pari passu with or junior to the lien securing the Initial Facilities or is unsecured, in each case (x) made at or prior to such time (in each case, other than prepayments funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (excluding any revolving facility)), (y) based on the par amount thereof, and (z) in the case of any revolving and delayed draw facilities, with a corresponding reduction of commitments thereunder, minus the aggregate principal amount of all Permitted Other Indebtedness incurred under clause (y) of the definition thereof; provided that any such utilization of this clause (y) in respect of Indebtedness under a Fixed Amount Basket shall be deemed to utilize such Fixed Amount Basket, plus

(z) such additional amount so long as, after giving effect on a Pro Forma Basis to the incurrence thereof (assuming for such purposes that the entire amount of any such Incremental Commitments were fully funded),

(i) in the case of any Incremental Facility secured by a Lien on any or all of the Collateral that is pari passu with the Liens securing the Initial Facilities, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (without netting the cash and Cash Equivalents constituting proceeds of such Incremental Facility) as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period would not as of the date of determination exceed either (A) the

104

Applicable Leverage Ratio or (B) if such Incremental Facility is incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition or similar permitted Investment, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio immediately preceding the incurrence of such Incremental Facility and the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition or other permitted similar Investment,

(ii) in the case of any Incremental Facility secured by a Lien on any or all of the Collateral that is junior to the Liens securing the Initial Facilities, either (I) the Secured Net Leverage Ratio (without netting the cash and Cash Equivalents constituting proceeds of such Incremental Facility) as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period would not as of the date of determination exceed either (A) the Applicable Leverage Ratio or (B) if such Incremental Facility is incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other similar Investment, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio immediately preceding the incurrence of such Incremental Facility and the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition or other similar Investment or (II) the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period would not as of the date of determination be less than either (A) 2.00:1.00 or (B) if such Incremental Facility is incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other similar Investment, the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio immediately preceding the incurrence of such Incremental Facility and the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition or other permitted similar Investment, and

(iii) in the case of any Incremental Facility that is unsecured or secured by assets not constituting Collateral, either (I) the Total Net Leverage Ratio (without netting the cash and Cash Equivalents constituting proceeds of such Incremental Facility) as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period would not as of the date of determination exceed either (A) the Applicable Leverage Ratio or (B) if such Incremental Facility is incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other similar Investment, the Total Net Leverage Ratio immediately preceding the incurrence of such Incremental Facility and the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition or other similar Investment or (II) the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period would not as of the date of determination be less than either (A) 2.00:1.00 or (B) if such Incremental Facility is incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other similar Investment, the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio immediately preceding the incurrence of such Incremental Facility and the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition or other permitted similar Investment;

and in each case any such addition shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

The Borrower may (I) incur Incremental Commitments under clause (w)(i), (w)(ii), (x), (y) or (z) of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence in such order as it may elect in its sole discretion and shall be allowed to classify under which clause such Incremental Commitments are being incurred at the time of such incurrence, without giving Pro Forma Effect to any Incremental Facilities or any increases of the Term Facility (or any portion thereof) in each case permitted to be incurred under clauses (w)(i), (w)(ii), (x) and (y) of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence (together with any amounts incurred to fund original issue discount and upfront fees) that is being incurred concurrently with an incurrence under clause (z) of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence when calculating the amount of Incremental Commitments (or any portion thereof) that may be incurred pursuant to such clause (z) at such time and (II) later reclassify Indebtedness incurred under clause (w)(i), (w)(ii), (x) or (y) of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence as incurred pursuant to clause (z) of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, if at the time of such reclassification, the Borrower would have been permitted to incur such Indebtedness under such clause (z). Any loans made in respect of any such Incremental Term Commitments (the “Incremental Term Loans” and any such facility an “Incremental Term Loan Facility”) may be made, at the option of the Borrower, by either (i) increasing a given Class of Term Commitments with the same terms (including pricing) as the

105

existing Term Loans of such Class, in which case such Incremental Term Loans shall constitute Term Loans of such Class for all purposes hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or (ii) creating a new tranche of term loans (an “Incremental Term Loan Tranche”). Any loans made in respect of any such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Credit Loans” and any such facility an “Incremental Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with any Incremental Term Loan Facility, the “Incremental Facilities”) may be made, at the option of the Borrower, by either (i) increasing a given Class of Revolving Credit Commitments with the same terms (including pricing) as the existing Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, in which case such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall constitute Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of such Class for all purposes hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or (ii) creating a new tranche of revolving credit commitments (an “Incremental Revolving Credit Tranche”). The proceeds of the Incremental Facilities may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes (including any actions permitted by Article VII, including permitted Restricted Payments) of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) The Incremental Term Loans comprising each Incremental Term Loan Tranche and the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments comprising each Incremental Revolving Credit Tranche, as applicable:

(i) other than customary “bridge” facilities which by their terms will be converted into a facility that has, or extended such that they have, a maturity no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of all Classes of Commitments and Loans then in effect and Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of the Inside Maturity Basket, in the case of Incremental Term Loans, shall have a maturity date that is not prior to the Latest Maturity Date of all Classes of Term Loans then in effect and shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than that of any Class of Term Loans;

(ii) other than Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of the Inside Maturity Basket, in the case of Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Loans, shall have a maturity date that is not prior to the Latest Maturity Date of all Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect and shall not require any scheduled commitment reduction;

(iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, (A) may share ratably, more than ratably or less than ratably in any voluntary prepayments of the Term Facility and (B) shall share ratably (and may not share more than ratably, except with respect to (i) any such Incremental Facility incurred pursuant to the Inside Maturity Basket and (ii) prepayments of any such Incremental Facility with the proceeds of Specified Refinancing Debt) in any mandatory prepayments of the Initial Term Facility (unless the Incremental Lenders with respect to such Incremental Term Loans agree to receive prepayments on a less than pro rata basis);

(iv) may be denominated in Dollars, or any Alternative Currency reasonably acceptable to the applicable Incremental Lenders and the Administrative Agent; provided that, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Credit Tranche denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans thereunder shall constitute a separate Class from any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans denominated in a different currency, and each Borrowing and payment of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than pursuant to Section 2.07(d) or as a result of the voluntary reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments on a non-pro rata basis as between different Classes of the Revolving Credit Facility) will be made on a pro rata basis among all Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments denominated in that same Alternative Currency;

106

(v) in the case of any Incremental Facility, except as set forth in Section 2.14(a) and this Section 2.14(b) with respect to prepayment events, maturity date, interest rate, yield, fees and original issue discounts and except with respect to the amortization schedule for the Incremental Term Loans and the permitted use of proceeds of any Incremental Facility, when taken as a whole shall (A) be substantially identical to, or no more favorable (taken as a whole) to the lenders providing such Incremental Facility than, those contained in the Initial Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility, as applicable, (B) reflect market terms and conditions (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) at the time of incurrence or issuance (or obtaining of a commitment with respect thereto) or (C) be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (in each case, except for any terms which are beneficial to the Incremental Lenders that are either (1) also added for the benefit of the existing Lenders (or, in the case of any financial covenant applicable to any Incremental Revolving Facility, that are made for the benefit of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility) or (2) only applicable to periods after the Latest Maturity Date of the Initial Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility, as applicable); provided that, in the case of Incremental Term Loans, if the initial Yield on any Incremental Term Loan Tranche (other than any Incremental Term Loan Tranche that (A) does not constitute “broadly syndicated Term B” loans (as such terms are commonly understood in the market), (B) is obtained after the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date, (C) is in aggregate principal amount equal to or less than the greater of $63,500,000 and (y) 50.0% of Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower for the most recently ended Test Period, (D) has a maturity date later than twelve (12) months after the Maturity Date of the Initial Term Loans, (E) is incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other permitted similar Investment, (F) is not secured on a pari passu basis with the Facilities or (G) is originally incurred pursuant to clause (z) of Section 2.14(a)) exceeds by more than one hundred (100) basis points (the amount of such excess above one hundred (100) basis points being herein referred to as the “Incremental Yield Differential”) the Yield then in effect for any outstanding Initial Term Loans, then the Applicable Rate then in effect for such outstanding Initial Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Incremental Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Incremental Term Loans under the Incremental Term Loan Tranche (and in respect of the Incremental Yield Differential in the form of an interest rate “floor,” at the option of the Borrower, such increase will be reflected solely as an increase to the interest rate floor applicable to the Initial Term Loans); provided, further, that for purposes of the foregoing calculation, any Incremental Term Loan Tranche that is fixed rate Indebtedness shall be swapped to a floating rate on a customary matched maturity basis;

(vi) the Incremental Facilities will not be guaranteed by any person that is not a Guarantor (subject to the Guarantee Exclusions) or secured by any asset that is not Collateral (subject to the Collateral Exclusions);

(c) Incremental Term Loans (or any portion thereof) may be made, and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, may be provided, by any existing Lender or by any other bank, investing entity or other Person (but in no case by (i) any Loan Party, (ii) except in compliance with the proviso to Section 2.14(j) below solely with respect to Incremental Term Commitments and Incremental Term Loans, an Affiliated Lender, (iii) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in clause (iii), or (v) any natural person) (each, except to the extent excluded pursuant to the foregoing parenthetical, an “Incremental Lender”), in each case on terms permitted in this Section and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, the L/C Issuers)

107

shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Incremental Lender’s, as the case may be, making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 10.07 for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Incremental Lender, as the case may be. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case, unless it so agrees. The Borrower may appoint any Person to arrange any Incremental Facility and provide such arranger any titles with respect to such Incremental Facility as it deems appropriate.

(d) Incremental Commitments and the loans made thereunder shall become Commitments and Loans, respectively, under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Commitments Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdings, the applicable Borrower or Borrowers and each Incremental Lender; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall receive prior written notice of any Incremental Commitments Amendment. An Incremental Commitments Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14, including any amendments that are not adverse to the interests of any Lender.

(e) If any Incremental Commitments are added in accordance with this Section 2.14, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date of such addition (the “Incremental Commitments Effective Date”).

(f) The effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the following conditions:

(i) [reserved]; and

(ii) subject to the last paragraph of this Section 2.14(f), (A) upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments Amendment and at the time that any such Incremental Loans are made (and after giving effect thereto), the representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article V or any other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality), (B) such Incremental Commitments shall be made on the terms and conditions provided for above, and (C) at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan is made or any such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are effective (and after giving effect thereto) no Event of Default (or, in the case of a Permitted Acquisition or similar Investment, no Specified Event of Default) shall exist.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the proceeds of any Incremental Commitments will be used to consummate a Limited Condition Transaction and the Borrower has made an LCT Election with respect to such Limited Condition Transaction, (x) the condition that upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments Amendment and at the time that any such Incremental Loans are made (and after giving effect thereto), no Event of Default shall exist, if agreed by the applicable Incremental Lenders may be tested and satisfied as of the LCT Test Date so long as upon the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments and the making of such Incremental Loans, no Specified Event of Default shall exist, (y) the condition that upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments Amendment and at the time that any such Incremental Loans are made (and after giving effect thereto), the representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article V or any other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality), if agreed by the applicable Incremental Lenders may be tested and

108

satisfied as of the LCT Test Date so long as upon the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments and the making of such Incremental Loans, the Specified Representations and, if such Limited Condition Transaction is a Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investment, the “specified purchase agreement representations” in respect of such acquisition or Investment, shall be true and correct to the extent that the Borrower or any Affiliate has the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to terminate its or such Affiliate’s obligations under the relevant acquisition agreement or to decline to consummate such Permitted Acquisition or Investment as a result of a breach of such specified purchase agreement representations, and (z) the Applicable Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 2.14(a)(z) may, at the Borrower’s election, be tested and satisfied as of the LCT Test Date and will not be tested upon the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments and the making of such Incremental Loans (but may be recalculated and retested, at the option of the Borrower, at such time).

(g) On each Incremental Commitments Effective Date, each Incremental Lender (i) shall become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) shall have an Incremental Commitment which shall become a “Commitment” hereunder, (iii) in the case of an Incremental Term Commitment, shall make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower in a principal amount equal to such Incremental Term Commitment, and such Incremental Term Loan shall be a “Term Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) in the case of an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, shall make Incremental Revolving Credit Loans to the applicable Borrower pursuant to such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, and such Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall be “Revolving Credit Loans” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(h) Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, (i) each Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such effectiveness will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Incremental Lender providing a portion of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, and each such Incremental Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interests hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participation interests, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participation interests hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Revolving Credit Lender (including each such Incremental Lender), will equal such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage and (ii) if, on the date of the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, there are any Classes of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in the same currency as such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall take those steps which it deems, in its sole discretion and in consultation with the Borrower, necessary and appropriate to result in each Revolving Credit Lender holding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in such currency (including each such Incremental Lender) having a pro rata share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in such currency based on the aggregate amount of each such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments denominated in such currency divided by the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments denominated in such currency of all Revolving Credit Lenders, in each case, immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that any prepayment made in connection with the taking of any such steps shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 3.05. 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 any transaction that may be effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(i) For purposes of testing any ratios under Section 2.14(a)(z), (a) it shall be assumed that all commitments under any Incremental Revolving Facility or Incremental Term Loan

109

Facility structured as a delayed draw facility (unless such Incremental Term Loan Facility is already subject to such ratios in the form of a drawing condition, it being understood that any amendment of such ratios shall require the consent of the Required Lenders) then being established at such time are fully drawn, (b) the cash proceeds of any Incremental Facility shall be excluded from “net” indebtedness in determining whether such Incremental Facility can be incurred (but the use of proceeds thereof and all other permitted pro forma adjustments shall be included) and (c) the incurrence (including by assumption or guarantees) or repayment of any Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility (and/or any Incremental Revolving Facilities) or other revolving facilities included in the incurrence test calculation in connection with the transaction or series of related transactions for which the pro forma calculation of such ratio is being made shall be disregarded.

(j) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provision of Section 2.13, 4.02 or 10.01 to the contrary; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Affiliated Lender providing any Incremental Term Commitments or Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be subject to the restrictions with respect to Affiliated Lenders set forth in clauses (i) and (j) of Section 10.07.

2.15 Cash Collateral.

(a) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer (i) if the applicable L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in one or more Cash Collateral Accounts. Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each applicable L/C Issuer and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral (including cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing) as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.15(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the applicable Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.15 or Section 2.03, 2.05, 2.06, 2.16 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the

110

applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.07(b)(ix))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that (x) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.15 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.04) and (y) subject to Section 2.16, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) that Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of “Required Lenders,” “Required Revolving Lenders,” “Required Delayed Draw Term Lenders” and “Required Term Lenders” in Section 1.01 and in Section 10.01;

(ii) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15; fourth, as the applicable Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.15; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any L/C Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded

111

and unfunded participations in L/C Borrowings are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv); provided, further, that any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

(iii) that Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or (b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive L/C Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h); and

(iv) during any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.03, the Pro Rata Share of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, between (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Lender.

(b) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders (and pay any amounts due under Section 3.05 to the extent such purchase occurs other than on the last day of an Interest Period) or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend or increase any Letter of Credit unless the participations in the L/C Obligations related to any existing Letters of Credit as well as the new, extended or increased Letter of Credit has been or will be fully allocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.16(a)(iv) and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein except to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s participation has been or will be fully Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.15.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law; provided that, if any Taxes are required by applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower or such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required withholdings or deductions of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including any such withholdings or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) each Agent and Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such withholdings or deductions and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Lender” shall include each L/C Issuer.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, except for Other Taxes resulting from an assignment by any Lender pursuant to Section 10.07, which assignment is not at the request of the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.07.

(c) The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Agent and Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and the calculation of the amount of such liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or Agent, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself or a Lender or Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund (without interest, other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional amounts paid under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees to promptly return such refund to

113

such party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(e), in no event will any Lender or Agent be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) the payment of which would place such Lender or Agent in a less favorable net after-tax position than it would have been in if the Tax giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect thereto had never been paid. Nothing herein contained shall oblige any Lender or Agent to make available its Tax returns or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs that it deems confidential.

(f) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to, as applicable, designate a different lending or issuing office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or issuing Letters of Credit or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 or 3.01, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(g) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 3.01(g)(ii), 3.01(h) and 3.01(i) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

(A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form

114

W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty,

(B) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI,

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E, or

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

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

(h) Each Lender and Agent that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall, to the extent it is legally able to do so, furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), two accurate and complete executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) establishing that such Lender or Agent is not subject to United States backup withholding tax.

(i) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the

115

Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

(j) Each Lender and Agent shall deliver such forms or certification as required by this Section 3.01 promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any such form or certification previously delivered by such Lender and Agent or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer legally able to do so.

(k) Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender. For purposes of this Section 3.01 and Section 9.15, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(l) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.07(l) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.01(l).

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert other Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans, the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of such rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert (or cause to be so prepaid or converted) all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or

116

charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay (or cause to be paid) accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 3.09, if the Required Term Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan under the applicable Facility or a conversion to or continuation of any of the foregoing that (i) deposits are not being offered to banks in the European interbank market, the London interbank Eurocurrency market or other offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter (and subject to Section 3.09), (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency shall be suspended and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any Change in Law, in each case after the Closing Date, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (or in the case of any Change in Law with respect to Taxes, any Loan) or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document and Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall govern), (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, (iii) Connection Income Taxes, and (iv) reserve requirements reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate), and such increase in costs affects the banking market generally or is requested by the Required Lenders, then from time to time within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail (which need not include any information the disclosure of which by such Lender is prohibited by applicable Laws) such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided that such increased costs may only be requested by a Lender imposing such increased costs on borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower under syndicated credit facilities comparable to those provided hereunder.

117

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

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

3.05 Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly (within thirty (30) days) compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any assignment pursuant to Section 3.07, continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a Base Rate Loan) on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration or otherwise); or

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

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

3.06 Matters Applicable to Requests for Compensation.

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

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such one hundred and eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the

118

Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

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

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

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

(d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

3.07 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

(a) If at any time (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or 3.03, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender (as defined below in this Section 3.07), or (iv) any Lender is an Ineligible Assignee, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, on five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender (or such lesser time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent), replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that (A) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person, (B) such replaced Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (or, in the case of the preceding clause (iv), the lesser of (x) the purchase price paid by such Ineligible Assignee for its Term Loans and

119

(y) the outstanding principal thereof) and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Sections 2.05(d) (if applicable) and 3.05) in accordance with the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment, (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter, (D) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law, and (E) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent. If such replaced Lender fails to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption within one (1) Business Day after the receipt of notice referred to in the foregoing clause (a), such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption on such date as provided in this Section 3.07. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations, (B) all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full to such assigning Lender in accordance with such Assignment and Assumption concurrently with such assignment and assumption, and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the applicable Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, (i) any Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance and issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of Cash Collateral into a Cash Collateral Account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit and (ii) the Lender that acts as (or whose Affiliate acts as) the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09.

(d) In the event that (i) a Borrower has requested the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or to agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class of the Loans or all Lenders, and (iii) the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or the Required Term Lenders, as the case may be, have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

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

120

3.09 Effect of Benchmark Replacement.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Eurocurrency Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. five (5) Business Days after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the Eurocurrency Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.09 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

167

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any Default or Event of Default occurs resulting from any action or the occurrence or any event publicly reported or otherwise disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders do not exercise any of their remedies under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document for the two year period following the date such Default or Event of Default has been reported publicly or otherwise disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (an “Uncalled Default”), such Uncalled Default shall be deemed not to be continuing automatically at the end of such two year period (regardless of whether such Default or Event of Default was still continuing at such time); provided that such two year limitation shall not apply if (i) the Administrative Agent has commenced any remedial action in respect of any such Default or Event of Default or (ii) any Loan Party had actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default and failed to notify the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

8.02 Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

(b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers;

(c) require that the applicable Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and

(d) exercise on behalf of itself, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable Law;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender may take any action with respect to an Event of Default arising out of Section 8.01(b) resulting solely from the breach of Section 7.11, without (and based solely on) express instruction from the Required Revolving Lenders.

8.03 Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01 or 8.02, in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.11, then:

168

(a) until the expiration of the fifteenth (15^th) Business Day subsequent to the date the relevant financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such fiscal quarter pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b), Holdings shall have the right to issue common equity or other Qualified Equity Interests of Holdings for cash (the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower of such cash as common equity, in an amount no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.11 with respect to such fiscal quarter (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by Holdings and the Borrower of such Cure Right, the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower as used in the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.11 shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

(i) Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower shall be increased for such fiscal quarter and each subsequent period containing such fiscal quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.11 for such fiscal quarter and not for any other purpose under this Agreement (including but not limited to determining the availability or amount of any covenant baskets or carve-outs or the Applicable Rate or Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage or reducing any outstanding Indebtedness or increasing cash or Cash Equivalents (provided that such limitation on the reduction of outstanding Indebtedness or increasing cash or Cash Equivalents shall not apply in subsequent fiscal quarters)), by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; and

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

(b) upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice, prior to the expiration of the 15^th Business Day subsequent to the date the relevant financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 (the “Anticipated Cure Deadline”), that the Borrower intends to exercise the Cure Right in respect of a fiscal quarter, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall not be permitted to accelerate Loans held by them or to exercise remedies against the Collateral on the basis of a failure to comply with the requirements of the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.11 until such failure is not cured pursuant to the exercise of the Cure Right on or prior to the Anticipated Cure Deadline; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders no Credit Extension under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be made for so long as the Borrower is not in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.11 and such non-compliance has not been cured in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.03.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four (4) fiscal quarter period there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in respect of which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) there can be no more than five (5) fiscal quarters in respect of which the Cure Right is exercised during the term of the Revolving Credit Facility, and (iii) for purposes of this Section 8.03, the Cure Amount utilized shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.11.

8.04 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.16, be applied by the Collateral Agent in the following order:

169

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Sections 10.04 and 10.05 and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, each in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts arising under the Loan Documents (other than principal, interest and L/C Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Sections 10.04 and 10.05 and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid L/C Fees, interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings and periodic payments due in respect of Secured Hedge Agreements, ratably among the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Hedge Banks, in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, the L/C Borrowings, the Swap Termination Value then owing under Secured Hedge Agreements which are not otherwise paid pursuant to clause Third above and the Obligations then owing under Secured Cash Management Agreements and to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15, ratably among the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, the Cash Management Banks and the Hedge Banks, in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

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

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, as required by any Intercreditor Agreement then in effect and, thereafter, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Section 2.15, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired without any pending drawing thereon, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Loan Party shall not be paid with amounts received from such Loan Party or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to the Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 8.04.

9.01 Appointment and Authorization of Agents.

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

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX (including Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

9.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. None of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

171

9.03 Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein, to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or Participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or Participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

9.04 Reliance by Agents.

(a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or group of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such other number or group of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. In no event shall any Agent be required to take any action (or omit to take any action) that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose any Agent to liability, or that is contrary to the terms of any Loan Document or applicable Law.

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

9.05 Notice of Default. None of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, unless it shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower

172

referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or group of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

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

9.07 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or group of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) shall be deemed to constitute bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07; provided, further, that to the extent any L/C Issuer is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.07 solely in its capacity and role as L/C Issuer, only the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be required to indemnify such L/C Issuer in accordance with this Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,

173

administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

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

9.09 Successor Agents.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of a Specified Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall be deemed given if the Borrower fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” and “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective on such date and the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) with the consent of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of a Specified Event of Default (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall be deemed given if the Borrower fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days), on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If a successor Administrative Agent has not so been appointed, the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. With effect from the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any

174

of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, the successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

(b) Any resignation by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.09 shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer. Any resignation by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.09 shall also constitute its resignation as the Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent, hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or the retiring Collateral Agent, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer or the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue Letters of Credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

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

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall

175

consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral 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 or the Collateral Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding, except as set forth in clause (A)(z) of the third to last paragraph of Section 10.01.

9.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in their capacities as potential or actual Hedge Banks and potential or actual Cash Management Banks) and each L/C Issuer irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer shall have been made), (ii) if such property is no longer owned by a Loan Party as a result of any sale or other transaction permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or group of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance);

(b) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i), (j), (n)(i), (u)(ii), (aa), (dd) or (jj), or to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(b), (d), (g), (i), (j), (n)(i), (p), (s)(i), (u)(ii), (aa), (bb), (dd), (gg) or (jj); and

(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor is an obligor or a guarantor in respect of any Permitted Other Indebtedness, Specified Refinancing Debt, or any Permitted Refinancing thereof; provided, further, that any release of guarantee obligations as a result of the circumstances set forth in Section 9.11(a)(i) shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11.

176

9.12 Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.04, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, none of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall 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 Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent have received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each holder of Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a beneficiary and Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.12. For the avoidance of doubt, no Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations with respect to any Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement.

9.13 Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “joint lead arranger” or “joint bookrunner” shall have any obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders, but only to the extent acting in such capacity as a Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. Sections 9.06, 9.07 and 9.08 shall apply to the Arrangers to the same extent as each applies to the Agents or the Agent-Related Persons, mutatis mutandis. Each Agent and Arranger shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the provisions set forth in this Agreement that are applicable thereto.

9.14 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to appoint additional Persons selected by it in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).

(b) In the event that the Collateral Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers, privileges and duties with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by

177

such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Collateral Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Section 9.07 (obligating the Lenders to pay the Collateral Agent’s expenses and to indemnify the Collateral Agent) that refer to the Collateral Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Collateral Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.

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

9.15 Withholding. To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any withholding Tax applicable to such payment. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 3.01, if the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective) and whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, or the Administrative Agent has paid over to the IRS applicable withholding Tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any and all expenses incurred, unless such amounts have been indemnified by any Loan Party. 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 Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.15. The agreements in this Section 9.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 9.15, the term “Lender” includes each L/C Issuer.

9.16 Agency for Perfection. The Collateral Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Secured Party 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 Loan Party with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Secured Party, and may further authorize and direct such Secured Party 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.

178

9.17 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-Sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

179

9.18 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party (any such Lender, L/C Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, L/C Issuer, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting Section 9.18(a), each Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender, L/C 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 such error) 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 9.18(b).

(c) Each Lender, L/C Issuer and Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under Section 9.18(a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.18(a), from any Lender or L/C Issuer that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (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 or Issuing Lender at any time, (i) such Lender or L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class 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”) 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 (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or L/C Issuer shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning L/C Issuer shall cease to be a Lender or L/C Issuer, 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 or assigning L/C Issuer and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. 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 or L/C Issuer 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 or L/C Issuer (or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or L/C Issuer and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent 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 or any other Loan Party 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, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

181

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.18 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(A) (x) any Loans held by a Lender that is a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall be excluded in the determination of any “Required Lender” or “Required Term Lender” votes (provided that such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall not be excluded and shall be entitled to vote in connection with any amendment, waiver or modification to the extent any such amendment, waiver or modification proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate in a disproportionately adverse manner to such Non-

184

Debt Fund Affiliate than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders); (y) no such Lender shall have any right to (i) attend (including by telephone) any meeting, call or discussions (or portion thereof) among an Agent, an Arranger or any Lender to which representatives of the Borrower are not then present, (ii) receive any information or material prepared by or provided to an Agent, an Arranger or any Lender or any communication by or among an Agent, an Arranger and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrower or its representatives, (iii) make or bring (other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against an Agent (except with respect to any rights expressly retained by such Affiliated Lender under the Loan Documents, which shall not be required to be waived) or an Arranger, or (iv) receive advice of counsel to an Agent, an Arranger or any other Lender (other than counsel to the Affiliated Lenders), or challenge an Agent’s, an Arranger’s or any Lender’s attorney-client privilege; and (z) each Affiliated Lender that is a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate hereby agrees that if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders; and

(B) in connection with any “Required Lender” or “Required Term Lender” votes or Class votes with respect to any Class of Term Loans, Lenders that are Debt Fund Affiliates shall not be permitted, in the aggregate, to account for more than 49.9% of the amounts includable in determining whether the “Required Lenders” or “Required Term Lenders” or a majority of Lenders with respect to such Class have consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action that is subject to such vote. The voting power of each Lender that is a Debt Fund Affiliate shall be reduced, pro rata, to the extent necessary in order to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.

Further, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the applicable Borrower(s) may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes of Commitments or Loans under any of the Facilities (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Facility”) to make one or more Permitted Amendments (as defined below) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to such Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than thirty (30) Business Days after the date of such notice, or such shorter periods as are acceptable to the Administrative Agent). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Commitments or Loans of the Lenders under the Affected Facility that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Loan Modification Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Loan Modification Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Commitments or Loans of such

185

Class(es) under such Affected Facility as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. Such Borrower and each Loan Modification Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent giving effect to the Permitted Amendment (a “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Loan Modification Accepting Lenders under the Affected Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective under this paragraph unless the Administrative Agent shall have received all corporate documents, officers’ certificates or legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. “Permitted Amendments” shall be limited to (i) an extension of the final maturity date of the applicable Loans of the Loan Modification Accepting Lenders and the payment of fees by such Borrower to such Loan Modification Accepting Lenders as may be required in connection therewith (provided that such extension may not result in having more than two additional final maturity dates in any year, or more than three additional final maturity dates at any time, under this Agreement without the consent of the Administrative Agent), (ii) a reduction, elimination or extension of the scheduled amortization of the applicable Loans of the Loan Modification Accepting Lenders and the payment of fees by such Borrower to such Loan Modification Accepting Lenders as may be required in connection therewith, (iii) a change in rate of interest (including a change to the Applicable Rate and any provision establishing a minimum rate), premium or other amount with respect to the applicable Loans of the Loan Modification Accepting Lenders or a change in the payment of fees to the Loan Modification Accepting Lenders (such change or payments to be in the form of cash, Equity Interests or other property to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement); provided that any additional premiums pursuant to this clause (iii) shall apply to the applicable Loans of the Loan Modification Accepting Lenders after the Latest Maturity Date then in effect with respect to the Affected Facility, and (iv) any other amendment to a Loan Document required to give effect to the Permitted Amendments described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this sentence.

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 Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan 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 Loan Document, any Lender (other than any Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender or a Regulated Bank) 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 by such Lender or its affiliates (other than any Ethically Screened Affiliates) pursuant to bona fide market making activities), has a net short position with respect to the Loans 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 (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Net Short Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Net Short Lender may not be increased or extended, the maturity of any of its Loans may not be extended and the principal amount of any of its Loans may not be forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Net Short Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Net Short Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Net Short Lender. For purposes of determining whether a Lender has a

186

“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, (ii) notional amounts in other currencies shall be converted to the Dollar Equivalent thereof, (iii) derivative contracts in respect of an index that includes any of such Borrower or other Loan Parties or any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of such Borrower or other Loan Parties shall not be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans or Commitments, so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender and (y) such Borrower and other Loan Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of such Borrower or other Loan Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5% 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 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 Borrower or other Loan 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 not be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans 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 of the Borrowers or other Loan Parties 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 Borrower and other Loan Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Borrower or other Loan Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index. At the request of the Borrower in connection with any amendment or waiver, each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing if it is a Net Short Lender, or shall otherwise 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on each such representation and deemed representation and that the Administrative Agent and its affiliates shall not have any responsibility or liability with respect to monitoring or enforcing any of the foregoing provisions with respect to any Lender).

All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

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

The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid within five (5) Business Days after invoiced or demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, in its sole discretion.

10.05 Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each Arranger, each Agent-Related Person, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, members, counsel, agents and, in the case of any funds, trustees, advisors and other representatives and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnitee as the same are incurred for) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs (including settlement costs), expenses and disbursements (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of (i) one counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole, (ii) in the case of any conflict of interest, additional counsel to each group of similarly-situated Indemnitees, limited to one such additional counsel, and (iii) one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and one special counsel in each relevant specialty (and, in the case of any conflict of interest, one additional local counsel and one additional special counsel, as applicable, to each group of similarly-situated Indemnitees)) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (c) any Environmental Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently owned, leased or operated by the Borrower, or any other Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party (other than any Environmental Release or Environmental Liability resulting solely from acts or omissions by Persons other than the Holdings and its Subsidiaries, with respect to the applicable property after the Collateral Agent sells the respective property pursuant to a foreclosure or has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure), (d) the Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter, or (e) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding in any way relating to, arising out of, in connection with or by

190

reason of any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not such proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any other Person (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (x) arise from a dispute that does not involve any action or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) and is solely among the Indemnitees (other than in connection with any such party acting in its capacity as an Arranger or an Agent) or (y) are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s or any of its controlled Affiliates’ bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of its funding obligations under the Loan Documents. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through the Platform or other information transmission systems (including electronic telecommunications) in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent of direct, as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive, damages determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s or any of its controlled Affiliates’ bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of its funding obligations under the Loan Documents. No Indemnitee or Loan Party shall have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); provided that the foregoing shall not affect the Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section 10.05. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated.

No Loan Party shall be liable for any settlement of any claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding effected without the Borrower’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower’s consent, or if there is a judgment against an Indemnitee in any such claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding, each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee in the manner set forth above. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the replacement of any L/C Issuer or any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from a non-Tax claim.

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

191

10.07 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (x) neither Holdings nor any Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (except as permitted by Section 7.04) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by Holdings or any Borrower shall be null and void) and (y) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(d), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(f), (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(g), or (v) in accordance with Section 10.07(i) or 10.07(j); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of this clause (y), no assignments to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted other than in accordance with Sections 10.07(i) or 10.07(j). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

192

shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and (II) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required (except in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Facility from any Term Lender to an Affiliate of such Term Lender, to an Approved Fund of such Term Lender or to another Term Lender); (iv) the consent of each L/C Issuer (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility; (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided that the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive such processing and recordation fee); (vi) no such assignment shall be made to (A) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (A), (B) a natural person, (C) Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or (D) absent the consent of the Borrower (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Borrower), to a Person disclosed on a list delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the launch of the general syndication of the Facilities that occurred prior to the Closing Date and made available to each Lender upon request, as updated from time to time by the Borrower to include competitors of the Borrower (but not other Persons) by delivering a new such list of Ineligible Assignees to the Administrative Agent which shall be made available to any Lender at its request, and all Affiliates of such Person that are identified in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent from time to time or are reasonably identifiable as Affiliates solely on the basis of their names (other than bona fide debt funds that purchase commercial loans in the ordinary course of business and are not disclosed on the list delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the general syndication as set forth above) (each, an “Ineligible Assignee”); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (w) updates to the list of Ineligible Assignees shall become effective on the date such update is delivered to the Administrative Agent, but shall not apply retroactively to disqualify Persons that have previously become Lenders or acquired a participation interest in the Loans, (x) the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to determine whether any potential assignee is an Ineligible Assignee or any liability with respect to any assignment made to an Ineligible Assignee, (y) subject to an agreement containing customary confidentiality obligations, Lenders shall be permitted to share the list of Ineligible Assignees with any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, and (z) if any assignment is made to any Person that is an Ineligible Assignee without the consent of the Borrower, the loans and commitments held by such Person shall be deemed to not be outstanding for purposes of any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, and such Person shall not be permitted to attend lender meetings or receive information prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with this Agreement; (vii) no Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans may be assigned to any Affiliated Lender; (viii) the assigning Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; and (ix) in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Pro Rata Share; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be

193

deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04, and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.07(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(d).

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and amounts due under Section 2.03 owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. No assignment of a Loan, L/C Obligation or L/C Borrowing shall be effective unless and until it is recorded in the Register. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain in the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender with respect to such Lender’s entry, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, an Ineligible Assignee, a Defaulting Lender or Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries (other than Debt Fund Affiliates)) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agents 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; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to determine whether any potential Participant is an Ineligible Assignee or any liability with respect to any participation sold to an Ineligible Assignee. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(e), each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the

194

requirements under Section 3.01(g), (h) and (j) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(g), (h) and (j) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b). To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless such greater payment to such Participant has been consented to by the Borrower, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 and Section 3.04 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with obligations, restrictions and limitations under such Sections and Section 3.07 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.07 with respect to any Participant.

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

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

195

and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans hereunder to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or to any Debt Fund Affiliate or Non-Debt Fund Affiliate, but only if:

(i) such assignment is made pursuant to an open market purchase or Dutch Auction open to all Term Lenders on a pro rata basis;

(ii) no Specified Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or could result therefrom;

(iii) the assigning Lender and Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Loans, as applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”) in lieu of an Assignment and Assumption;

(iv) after giving effect to such assignment, Non-Debt Fund Affiliates shall not, in the aggregate, own or hold Term Loans with an aggregate principal amount in excess of 30% of the principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding;

(v) Holdings, the Borrower and their Restricted Subsidiaries may not use the proceeds of any Credit Extension under the Revolving Credit Facility to acquire any Term Loans pursuant to this Section 10.07(i) if the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed 50% of the Total Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility (after giving effect to such Credit Extension);

(vi) in the case of any such assignment to a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate, such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall be subject to the restrictions specified in clause (A) of the third to last paragraph of Section 10.01; and

(vii) any such Term Loans assigned to Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary will be automatically and permanently cancelled at the time of such assignment (and applied to the remaining amortization payments in respect of the Term Loans in direct order of maturity or as otherwise directed by the Borrower).

196

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans hereunder to any Debt Fund Affiliate, but only if:

(i) such assignment is made pursuant to an open market purchase; and

(ii) such Debt Fund Affiliate shall at all times after such assignment be subject to the restrictions specified in clause (B) of the third to last paragraph of Section 10.01.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the Administrative Agent assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to Section 10.07(b), the Administrative Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as an L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the Administrative Agent as an L/C Issuer. If the Administrative Agent resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer provided for hereunder with respect to Letters of Credit made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03. Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and (ii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to effectively assume the obligations of the Administrative Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(l) Each Lender that sells a participation or grants any rights to an SPC, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of (i) each SPC (other than any SPC that is treated as a disregarded entity of the Granting Lender for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that has exercised its option pursuant to Section 10.07(g) and (ii) each Participant, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each such SPC’s and Participant’s interest in such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or SPC or any information relating to a Participant’s or SPC’s interest in such Lender’s rights or obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such rights or obligations are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or proposed Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable participation or SPC interest.

10.08 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders (including, as applicable, in their capacity as Arrangers) agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that, Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, auditors, legal counsel and other advisors on a “need to know” basis solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and to the Persons approving or administering a Loan on behalf of an Agent or a Lender (it being understood that all Persons pursuant to clause (a) to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential in accordance with customary practices, and the applicable Agent or Lender shall be responsible for such Person’s compliance with this paragraph); (b) to the extent requested or required by any regulatory authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction over such Agent, Lender or its respective Affiliates or in connection with any pledge or assignment permitted under Section 10.07(f) (in which case, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any

197

governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, such Agent or Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower, in advance, to the extent permitted by Law and, to the extent it may legally and practically do so, allow the Borrower a reasonable opportunity to object to such disclosure in such proceeding or process); (c) in any legal, judicial or administrative proceeding or other compulsory process or otherwise as required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, such Agent or Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower, in advance, to the extent permitted by Law and, to the extent it may legally and practically do so, allow the Borrower a reasonable opportunity to object to such disclosure in such proceeding or process); (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section 10.08(or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or to any prospective counterparty to any Cash Management Agreement or Swap Contract; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 or (B) is independently developed by such Agent or Lender or any of their respective Affiliates; (i) to any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; or (j) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender). In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.08 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Agents, the Lenders and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower, Holdings or a Subsidiary of either, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information, and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.

10.09 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by any Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such Affiliate hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective

198

of whether or not such Lender, L/C Issuer or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 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 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 setoff. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, in no event shall the assets of any CFC or CFC Holdco constitute security, nor shall the proceeds of such assets be available for payment of the Obligations of the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary, it being understood that (a) the Equity Interests of any CFC or CFC Holdco that are directly owned by the Borrower or any Guarantor do not constitute such an asset (and may be pledged to the extent set forth in Section 6.12, but, in no event can Voting Stock of any CFC or CFC Holdco in excess of 65% of the Voting Stock of such CFC or CFC Holdco, as applicable, be pledged) and (b) the provisions hereof shall not limit, reduce or otherwise diminish in any respect any Borrower’s obligations to make any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b).

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

10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier, email or other means of electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original manually executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission.

10.12 Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, other than those provisions of the Commitment Letter which by their terms remain in full force and effect to the extent not covered by this Agreement. Subject to Section 10.24, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control;

199

provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

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

10.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.15 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) GOVERNING LAW.

10.17 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrowers, Holdings, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender and each L/C Issuer that each such Lender and each such L/C Issuer has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders except as permitted by Section 7.04.

10.18 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of the Borrowers and Holdings acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges and agrees that it has informed its other Affiliates, that: (i) (A) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between any of the Borrowers, Holdings and their respective Subsidiaries and any Agent, any Arranger, any L/C Issuer, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates is intended to be or has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (except those relationships expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents), irrespective of whether any Agent, any Arranger, any L/C Issuer, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates has advised or is advising any of the Borrowers, Holdings and their respective Subsidiaries on other matters, (B) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agents, the Arrangers, the L/C Issuers, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, Holdings and their respective Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Arrangers, the L/C Issuers, the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand,

201

(C) each of the Borrowers and Holdings has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (D) each of the Borrowers and Holdings is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Agents, the Arrangers, the L/C Issuers, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as may otherwise be expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrowers, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the Agents, the Arrangers, the L/C Issuers, the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates has any obligation to the Borrowers, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Agents, the Arrangers, the L/C Issuers, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, Holdings and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Agents, the Arrangers, the L/C Issuers, the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests and transactions to the Borrowers, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates.

202

10.21 USA PATRIOT ACT; “Know Your Customer” Checks.

(a) Each L/C Issuer and each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act (as defined below), the Beneficial Ownership Regulation or other applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and/or other applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such L/C Issuer, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

(b) If in connection with (i) the introduction of any Law or any Change in Law, (ii) any change in the status of a Loan Party after the Closing Date, (iii) the addition of any Guarantor pursuant to Section 6.12 or the designation of any Guarantor as a Co-Borrower pursuant to Section 6.14(b), (iv) any proposed assignment or transfer by a Lender of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a party that was not previously a Lender hereunder, or (v) the appointment of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent, any Lender (or, in the case of the event described in clause (iv) above, any prospective Lender) or any L/C Issuer requires additional information in order to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures, each of Holdings and the Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party and Restricted Subsidiary to, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, provide such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (for itself or on behalf of any Lender), such Lender (for itself or, in the case of the event described in clause (iv) above, on behalf of any prospective Lender) or such L/C Issuer in order for the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such prospective Lender or such L/C Issuer to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable Laws and regulations pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents.

10.22 Judgment Currency.

(a) The Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any Alternative Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or the respective Lender or L/C Issuer of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or L/C Issuer under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any Alternative Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in Dollars, the conversion shall be made at the Dollar Equivalent determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Loan Parties

203

shall pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 10.22, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of Dollars.

10.23 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Loan Party shall only be liable under this Section 10.23 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.23, or otherwise under this Agreement, as it relates to such Loan Party, voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under this Section 10.23 shall remain in full force and effect so long as any Loan or other Obligation hereunder which is accrued and payable shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party intends that this Section 10.23 constitute, and this Section 10.23 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

10.24 Intercreditor Agreements. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of the any Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender (and each Person that becomes a Lender under this Agreement) hereby authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender and agrees that the Collateral Agent may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement. In addition, each Lender and Agent acknowledges and agrees that (a) the rights and remedies of the Agents and Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are subject to any Intercreditor Agreement and (b) in the event of a conflict, the provisions of any such Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

10.25 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of 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: (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 Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

10.26 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Secured Hedge Agreements or any other

204

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 Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York or of the United States or any other state of the United States). 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 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 Loan 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 Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
