Each Issuing Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue (or cause its Affiliate that is a commercial bank to issue on its behalf) letters of credit denominated in U.S. Dollars (such letters of credit, together with the Existing Letters of Credit, the “Letters of Credit”), for the account of the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until 30 days before the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate Available Amount (i) for all Letters of Credit not to exceed at any time the Letter of Credit Facility at such time, (ii) for all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank not to exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment at such time, and (iii) for each such Letter of Credit not to exceed the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders at such time. The Existing Issuing Bank shall continue any Existing Letters of Credit, for the account of the Borrower; provided that no Existing Letter of Credit shall be renewed by the Existing Issuing Bank but shall be replaced by Citibank as the Issuing Bank upon submission by the Borrower to Citibank of a request for an issuance of a Letter of Credit. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of the Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than the earlier of 30 days before the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility and (A) in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit one year after the date of issuance thereof, but may by its terms be renewable annually upon notice (a “Notice of Renewal”) given to the Issuing Bank that issued such Standby Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent on or prior to any date for notice of renewal set forth in such Letter of Credit but in any event at least three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed renewal of such Standby Letter of Credit and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III unless such Issuing Bank has notified the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date for notice of termination set forth in such Letter of Credit but in any event at least 30 Business Days prior to the date of automatic renewal of its election not to renew such Standby Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Termination”) and (B) in the case of a Trade Letter of Credit, 60 days after the date of issuance thereof; provided, however, that the terms of each Standby Letter of Credit that is automatically renewable annually shall (x) require the Issuing Bank that issued such Standby Letter of Credit to give the beneficiary named in such Standby Letter of Credit notice of any Notice of Termination, (y) permit such beneficiary, upon receipt of such notice, to draw under such Standby Letter of Credit prior to the date such Standby Letter of Credit otherwise would have been automatically renewed and (z) not permit the expiration date (after giving effect to any renewal) of such Standby Letter of Credit in any event to be extended to a date later than 30 days before the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility. If either a Notice of Renewal is not given by the Borrower or a Notice of Termination is given by the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such Standby Letter of Credit shall expire on the date on which it otherwise would have been automatically renewed; provided, however, that even in the absence of receipt of a Notice of Renewal the applicable Issuing Bank may in its discretion, unless instructed to the contrary by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, deem that a Notice of Renewal had been timely delivered and in such case, a Notice of Renewal shall be deemed to have been so delivered for all purposes under this Agreement. Within the limits of the Letter of Credit Facility, and subject to the limits referred to above, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b), repay any Letter of Credit Advances resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b).

(b) Swing Line Advances. The Borrower may request the Swing Line Bank to make, and the Swing Line Bank agrees to make, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Swing Line Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility (i) in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding $30,000,000 (the “Swing Line Facility”) and (ii) in an amount for each such Swing Line Borrowing not to exceed the aggregate of the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders at such time. No Swing Line Advance shall be used for the purpose of funding the payment of principal of any other Swing Line Advance. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be in an amount of $250,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof and shall be made as a Base Rate Advance. Within the

limits of the Swing Line Facility and within the limits referred to in clause (ii) above, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(c), repay pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or prepay pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and reborrow under this Section 2.01(c).

(c) Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Term Loan Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to fund to the Borrower an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan on the Closing Date as a single Advance denominated in U.S. Dollars; provided, however, that a portion of the Term Loan in the amount of $100,000,000 (the “Delayed Draw Tranche”) may be advanced to the Borrower pursuant to either (1) a single Advance of $100,000,000 or (2) two separate Advances of $50,000,000 each, during the period from the Closing Date through September 30, 2014 (the “Delayed Draw Period”); provided further that (A) the conditions in Section 3.02 shall have been satisfied and (B) the aggregate amounts advanced to the Borrower pursuant to the Delayed Draw Tranche shall not exceed the Commitments therefor, if any, set forth in Schedule I. The Borrower shall not have the right to reborrow any portion of the Term Loan that is repaid or prepaid.

SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.03, each Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing) shall be made on notice, given not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telex or telecopier. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or telex or telecopier or e-mail, in each case in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (iv) the Facility with respect to which such Borrowing relates, and (v) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each Lender shall, before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances and 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lender and the other Lenders. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Swing Line Advances and Letter of Credit Advances made by the Swing Line Bank or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and by any other Lender and outstanding on the date of such Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date, available to the Swing Line Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and such other Lenders for repayment of such Swing Line Advances and Letter of Credit Advances.

(b)Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing, by the Borrower to the Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent. Each such notice of a Swing Line Borrowing (a “Notice of Swing Line Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing or by telecopier or e-mail, in each case specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) amount of such Borrowing and (iii) maturity of such Borrowing (which maturity shall be no later than the earlier of (A) the seventh day after the requested date of such Borrowing and (B) the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility). The Swing Line Bank shall, before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Swing Line Borrowing, make the amount thereof available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account. Upon written demand by the Swing Line Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each other Revolving Credit Lender shall purchase from the Swing Line

Bank, and the Swing Line Bank shall sell and assign to each such other Revolving Credit Lender, such other Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Swing Line Advance as of the date of such demand, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Swing Line Advance to be purchased by such Revolving Credit Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to each such sale and assignment. Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Swing Line Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the Swing Line Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on such Business Day or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. Upon any such assignment by the Swing Line Bank to any other Revolving Credit Lender of a portion of a Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Bank represents and warrants to such other Revolving Credit Lender that the Swing Line Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Swing Line Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party. If and to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Swing Line Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by the Swing Line Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the Swing Line Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swing Line Advance made by such Revolving Credit Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Advance made by the Swing Line Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.

(c) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $1,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(ii), 2.09 or 2.10 and (ii) there may not be more than five separate Interest Periods in effect hereunder at any time.

(d) Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any actual loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to (x) the date of any Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances or (y) 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of any Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time under Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative

Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance 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 Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(g) Each Lender may, at its option, make any Advance available to the Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance; provided, however, that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) nothing in this Section 2.02(g) shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation or warranty by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner.

SECTION 2.03. Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit. (a) Request for Issuance. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit, by the Borrower to any Issuing Bank, which shall give to the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender prompt notice thereof by telex, telecopier or e‑mail or by means of the Approved Electronic Platform. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, telex, telecopier or e-mail, in each case specifying therein the requested (i) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (iii) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (v) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). If (y) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion and (z) it has not received notice of objection to such issuance from the Required Lenders, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its office referred to in Section 10.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in connection with such issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

(b) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender on the first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and (ii) to the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(c) Letter of Credit Participations; Drawing and Reimbursement. (i) Immediately upon the issuance by any Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed, and with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit, the Existing Issuing Bank shall be deemed upon the date hereof, to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender (in its capacity under this Section 2.03(c), a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit, to the extent of such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Revolving Credit Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares pursuant to Section 10.07, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and unpaid drawings

relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reflect the new Pro Rata Shares of the assignor and assignee Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be.

(i) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall not have any obligation with respect to the other Revolving Credit Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Bank any resulting liability to the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Revolving Credit Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non‑appealable judgment).

(i) The payment by any Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by such Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft. In the event that an Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.04(c), such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank the amount of such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed payment in U.S. Dollars and in same day funds. Upon such notification by the Administrative Agent to any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Issuing Bank which made such Advance, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day. If and to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable.

(ii) Whenever any Issuing Bank receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (iii) above, such Issuing Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each such Participant that has paid its Pro Rata Share thereof, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(d) Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other Revolving Credit Lender on such date.

(e) Independence. The Borrower acknowledges that the rights and obligations of any Issuing Banks under each Letter of Credit issued by it are independent of the existence, performance or

nonperformance of any contract or arrangement underlying the Letter of Credit, including contracts or arrangements between such Issuing Bank and the Borrower and between the Borrower and the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit. No Issuing Bank shall have any duty to notify the Borrower of its receipt of a demand or a draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit or of its decision to honor such demand. Such Issuing Bank may, without incurring any liability to the Borrower or impairing its entitlement to reimbursement under this Agreement, honor a demand under a Letter of Credit despite notice from the Borrower of, and without any duty to inquire into, any defense to payment or any adverse claims or other rights against the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit or any other Person. No Issuing Bank shall have any duty to request or require the presentation of any document, including any default certificate, not required to be presented under the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. No Issuing Bank shall have any duty to seek any waiver of discrepancies from the Borrower, or any duty to grant any waiver of discrepancies that the Borrower approves or requests. No Issuing Bank shall have any duty to extend the expiration date or term of a Letter of Credit or to issue a replacement Letter of Credit on or before the expiration date of a Letter of Credit or the end of such term.

(f) Governing Rules. The Borrower agrees that each Letter of Credit shall be governed by the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) Publication No. 600 (2007 Revision) (the “UCP 600”) or, at an Issuing Bank’s option, such later revision thereof in effect at the time of issuance of the Letter of Credit (as so chosen for the Letter of Credit, the “UCP”) or the International Standby Practices 1998, ICC Publication No. 590 or, at an Issuing Bank’s option, such later revision thereof in effect at the time of issuance of the Letter of Credit (as so chosen for the Letter of Credit, the “ISP”, and each of the UCP and the ISP, an “ICC Rule”). Each Issuing Bank’s privileges, rights and remedies under such ICC Rules shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, its privileges, rights and remedies expressly provided for herein. The UCP and the ISP (or such later revision of either) shall serve, in the absence of proof to the contrary, as evidence of general banking usage with respect to the subject matter thereof. The Borrower agrees that for matters not addressed by the chosen ICC Rule, the Letter of Credit shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of New York and applicable United States Federal laws. If, at the Borrower’s request, the Letter of Credit expressly chooses a state or country law other than New York State law and United States Federal law or is silent with respect to the choice of an ICC Rule or a governing law, no Issuing Bank shall be liable for any payment, cost, expense or loss resulting from any action or inaction taken by such Issuing Bank if such action or inaction is or would be justified under an ICC Rule, New York law, applicable United States Federal law or the law governing the Letter of Credit.

Section 2.04. Repayment of Advances. (a) Revolving Credit Advances and Term Loan. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances and Term Loan then outstanding

(b) Swing Line Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of (i) the Swing Line Bank and (ii) each other Revolving Credit Lender that has made a Swing Line Advance by purchase from the Swing Line Bank pursuant to Section 2.02(b), the outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Advance made by each of them on the earlier of the maturity date specified in the applicable Notice of Swing Line Borrowing (which maturity shall be no later than the seventh day after the requested date of such Swing Line Borrowing) and the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(c) Letter of Credit Advances. (i) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuing Bank and each other Revolving Credit Lender that has made a Letter of Credit Advance on the same day on which such Advance was made the outstanding principal amount of each Letter of Credit Advance made by each of them.

(i) The Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit (and the obligations

of each Lender to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank with respect thereto) shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any Letter of Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);

(B) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of any L/C Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;

(C) the existence of any claim, set‑off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;

(D) any statement or any other document presented under a 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;

(E) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(F) any exchange, release or non‑perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranties or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of the L/C Related Documents; or

(G) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any other Loan Party.

SECTION 2.05. Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Swing Line Facility, the Letter of Credit Facility and the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction of a Facility (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000 (or, in the case of the Swing Line Facility, $250,000) or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their Commitments with respect to such Facility. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided, however, that a notice of termination of any Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) Mandatory. (i) The Letter of Credit Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the amount, if any, by which the amount

of the Letter of Credit Facility exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility after giving effect to such reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(i) The Swing Line Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of the Swing Line Facility exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility after giving effect to such reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(i) Upon the funding of the Term Loan (including the Delayed Draw Tranche, to the extent funded) and from time to time thereafter upon each repayment or prepayment of any portion of the Term Loan, the aggregate Term Loan Commitments of the Term Loan Lenders shall be automatically and permanently reduced, on a pro rata basis, by an amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate Term Loan Commitments immediately prior to such reduction exceed the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding after giving effect to such repayment or prepayment of the Term Loan.

SECTION 2.06. Prepayments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon same day notice in the case of Base Rate Advances and two Business Days’ notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, in each case to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the amount of the Advances outstanding and (ii) if any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance is made on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 10.04(c); and provided further that if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.05(a), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.05(a).

(b) Mandatory. (i) The Borrower shall, if applicable, on each Business Day, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan, the Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the same Borrowings, the Swing Line Advances and the Letter of Credit Advances to cause (A) the Facility Exposure not to exceed the Facilities on such Business Day, (B) the Leverage Ratio not to exceed the applicable maximum Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 5.04(a)(i) on such Business Day, and (C) the Facility Exposure not to exceed the Facility Available Amount as set forth in Section 5.04(b)(i) on such Business Day. If all Advances have been prepaid and are not sufficient to cause Borrower to comply with each of (A), (B), and (C), the Borrower shall make a deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account in an amount sufficient to do the same.

(i) The Borrower shall, on each Business Day, pay to the Administrative Agent for deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account an amount sufficient to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account to equal the amount by which the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds the Letter of Credit Facility on such Business Day. To the extent the funds on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account shall at any time exceed the total amount required to be deposited therein pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon request by the Borrower and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall then have occurred or be continuing or would result therefrom, return such excess amount to the Borrower.

(i) Prepayments of the Facilities made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be first applied to prepay Letter of Credit Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full, second applied to prepay Swing Line Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full, third applied to prepay Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding comprising part of the same Borrowings until such

Advances are paid in full, fourth deposited in the L/C Cash Collateral Account to Cash Collateralize 100% of the Available Amount of the Letters of Credit then outstanding and fifth applied to prepay the Term Loan then outstanding until the Term Loan is paid in full. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank or Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable.

(ii) All prepayments under this subsection (b) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid.

(i)Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (A) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (B) the Applicable Margin in respect of Base Rate Advances in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(ii)Eurodollar Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (B) the Applicable Margin in respect of Eurodollar Rate Advances in effect on the first day of such Interest Period, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(c) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable under the Loan Documents that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid, in the case of interest, on the Type of Advance on which such interest has accrued pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and, in all other cases, on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above.

(d) Notice of Interest Period and Interest Rate. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09 or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the definition of “Interest Period”, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Lender of the applicable Interest Period and the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above.

(e) Interest Rate Determination. (i) [Intentionally Omitted].

(i) If the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or a successor page) is unavailable and the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Rate Advances, as provided in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate”,

(A) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Advances,

(B) each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

(C) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(f) Borrower Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates. The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lender Parties by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including, without limitation, because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender Party, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s, or any Lender Party's other rights under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.08. Fees. (a) Unused Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders an unused commitment fee (the “Unused Fee”), from the date hereof in the case of each Initial Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance or the Accession Agreement, as the case may be, pursuant to which it became a Revolving Credit Lender in the case of each other Revolving Credit Lender until the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing March 31, 2014, and on the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Unused Fee payable for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender shall be calculated for each period for which the Unused Fee is payable on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender (i) for any period in which the average daily Facility Exposure (exclusive of Obligations in respect of Guaranteed Hedge Agreements) in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility for such period exceeds 50% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, at the rate of 0.25% per annum, and (ii) in all other cases, at the rate of 0.35% per annum.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees, Etc. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commission, payable in arrears, (a) quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December commencing Xxxxx 00, 0000, (x) on the earliest to occur of the full drawing, expiration, termination or cancellation of any Letter of Credit, and (c) on the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, on such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the average daily aggregate Available Amount during such quarter of all Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time for the applicable period at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Facility Eurodollar Rate Advances in effect from time to time.

(i) The Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (A) a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in an amount equal to 0.125% of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, payable on such date and (B) such other commissions, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in connection

with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as the Borrower and such Issuing Bank shall agree.

(c) Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account the fees, in the amounts and on the dates, set forth in the Fee Letter and such other fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) Extension Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, in connection with the extension of the Revolving Credit Facility, a Facility extension fee (an “Extension Fee”) on the Facility Extension Date, for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender, in an amount equal to 0.15% of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then outstanding (whether funded or unfunded).

(e) Ticking Fee. With respect to the Delayed Draw Tranche, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders with Commitments to the Delayed Draw Tranche (other than any Defaulting Lenders) a ticking fee (each, a “Ticking Fee”) in accordance with this Section 2.08(e). Each Ticking Fee shall accrue from the date that is thirty days after the Closing Date until the earlier of (i) the last day of the Delayed Draw Period or (ii) the date on which the full amount of the Delayed Draw Tranche (the “Ticking Fee Accrual Date”) is advanced to the Borrower, in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the unused portion of the Commitments under the Delayed Draw Tranche and shall be payable in full to the Administrative Agent on the Ticking Fee Accrual Date for the account of the applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments to the Delayed Draw Tranche.

(f) Defaulting Lender. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.08(b) (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees), provided that (a) to the extent that all or a portion of the Letter of Credit Exposure or the Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.18(b), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, and (b) to the extent that all or any portion of such Letter of Credit Exposure or Swing Line Exposure cannot be so reallocated, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Bank, as applicable (and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.11(f) will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section).

SECTION 2.09. Conversion of Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.10, Convert all or any portion of the Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(c), no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(c) and each Conversion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under any Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments under such Facility. Each such notice of Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for such Advances. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

(b) Mandatory. (i) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $1,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(i) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon an Interest Period of one month shall apply to each such Eurodollar Rate Advance.

(i) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (y) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (z) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.

SECTION 2.10. Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender Party of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of making or maintaining Letter of Credit Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.10, any such increased costs resulting from Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, or Connection Income Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the issuance or maintenance of or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, upon demand by such Lender Party or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as amended, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder

or issued in connection therewith, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) shall be deemed an introduction or change of the type referred to in Section 2.10(a) and this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender Party’s right to demand such compensation, provided that, no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender Party pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender Party notifies the Borrower of the event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 2.11. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.13), not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the Notes to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties and (ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Acceding Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.17 and upon the

Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Accession Agreement and recording of information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to such Acceding Lender. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender Party and each of its Affiliates, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender Party is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender Party any amount so due.

(c) All computations of interest based on Citibank, N.A.’s base rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(f) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees,

indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent on such date;

(ii) second, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Issuing Banks (solely in their respective capacities as such) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Issuing Banks on such date;

(iii) third, to the payment of all of the indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 10.04 and any similar section of any of the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Lenders on such date;

(iv) fourth, to the payment of all of the amounts that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts thereof owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

(v) fifth, to the payment of all of the fees that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 2.08(a), (b)(i), (d) and (e) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate Commitments of the Lenders under the Facilities on such date;

(vi) sixth, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations of the Borrower under or in respect of the Loan Documents (other than Guaranteed Hedge Agreements) that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(b) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

(vii) seventh, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(a) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

(viii) eighth, to the payment of any other accrued and unpaid interest comprising Obligations of the Loan Parties owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that is due and payable on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the respective obligees thereof on such date;

(ix) ninth, to the payment of the principal amount of all of the outstanding Advances that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such principal and reimbursement obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, and to deposit into the L/C Cash Collateral Account any contingent reimbursement obligations in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit to the extent required by Section 6.02; and

(x) tenth, 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 on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the respective obligees thereof on such date.

SECTION 2.12. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(c) Without duplication of Sections 2.12(a) or 2.12(b), the Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.12) payable or paid by such Recipient, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Each Lender Party shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender Party (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender Party’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.07 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender Party, 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 Party by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender Party from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) As soon as practicable after, but in any case within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.02, 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 payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or on behalf of a Loan Party through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of a Loan Party by a payor that is not a U.S. Person, if such Loan Party determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Loan Party shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of subsections (e) and (g) of this Section 2.12, the term “United States” shall have the meaning specified in Section 7701(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(f) Any Lender Party 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 Party, 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 Party is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.12(g)(i), (ii), and (iv) below) shall not be required if in the applicable Lender Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender Party.

(g) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.12(f),

(i) each Lender Party that is a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender Party, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii) each Lender Party that is not a U.S. Person (a “Foreign Lender Party”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender Party, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Foreign Lender Party claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United Sates is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8BEN 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, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN 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 originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8ECI;

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender Party claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 hereto to the effect that such Foreign Lender Party is not a (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Loan Party within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8BEN; or

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

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

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

Each Lender Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has received an indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 2.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This

subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. No party shall have any obligation to pursue, or any right to assert, any refund of Indemnified Taxes that may be paid by another party.

(i) For any period with respect to which a Lender Party has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form or other document described in subsection (f) or subsection (g) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form or other document originally was required to be provided or if such form or other document otherwise is not required under subsection (f) or subsection (g) above), such Lender Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.12 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender Party become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form or other document required hereunder, the Loan Parties shall take such steps as such Lender Party shall reasonably request to assist such Lender Party to recover such Taxes.

(j) Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.

(k) In the event that an additional payment is made under Section 2.12(a) or (c) for the account of any Lender Party and such Lender Party, in its sole discretion, determines that it has finally and irrevocably received or been granted a credit against or release or remission for, or repayment of, any tax paid or payable by it in respect of or calculated with reference to the deduction or withholding giving rise to such payment, such Lender Party shall, to the extent that it determines that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment, pay to the applicable Loan Party such amount as such Lender Party shall, in its sole discretion, have determined to be attributable to such deduction or withholding and which will leave such Lender Party (after such payment) in no worse position than it would have been in if the applicable Loan Party had not been required to make such deduction or withholding. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender Party to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender Party to claim any tax credit or to disclose any information relating to its affairs or any computations in respect thereof, and no Loan Party shall be entitled to review the tax records of any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, or require any Lender Party to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(l) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations under this Section 2.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments, Etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(f), if any Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set‑off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 10.07) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all the Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its

ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all of the Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.14. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances and issuances of Letters of Credit shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds and Letters of Credit) solely for (i) general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (ii) the development of new, and the renovation and expansion of existing, Hotel Assets and the acquisition of such other assets and the making of such other Investments as are permitted by this Agreement, (iii) capital expenditures related to Assets, (iv) the repayment in full (or refinancing) of existing mortgage loans, and (v) the payment of fees and expenses related to the Facilities and the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. The Borrower will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit or otherwise make available such proceeds to any person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any United States sanctions administered by OFAC or in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws.

SECTION 2.15 Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender Party shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender Party resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender Party from time to time hereunder. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender Party to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender Party to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender Party, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender Party, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2 hereto, as applicable, payable to the order of such Lender Party in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment of such Lender Party. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder. To the extent no Note has been issued to a Lender Party, this Agreement shall be deemed to comprise conclusive evidence for all purposes of the indebtedness resulting from the Advances and extensions of credit hereunder.

(b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender Party hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender Party and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.16. Extensions of Maturity Date. At least 30 days but not more than 120 days prior to the Initial RC Maturity Date, the Borrower, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, may request a single one-year extension of the Initial RC Maturity Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request and the Initial RC Maturity Date shall, effective as of the Facility Extension Date (as defined below), be extended for an additional one year period, provided that, on the Facility Extension Date (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received payment in full of the extension fee set forth in Section 2.08(d) and (ii) the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender Party a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, dated the Facility Extension Date, stating that: (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Facility Extension Date (unless qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) and (B) no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such extension. “Facility Extension Date” means the first date after the delivery by the Borrower of the extension notice described above in this Section 2.16 that the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above are satisfied. In the event that an extension is effected pursuant to this Section 2.16 (but subject to provisions of Sections 2.05, 2.06 and 6.01), the aggregate principal amount of all Advances in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be repaid in full ratably to the applicable Lenders on the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility as so extended. As of the Facility Extension Date, any and all references in this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any of the other Loan Documents to the “Maturity Date” in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility shall refer to the Initial RC Maturity Date as so extended.

SECTION 2.17 Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, at any time (but no more than twice in any consecutive 12-month period), by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the Term Loan Commitments by not less than $5,000,000 (each such proposed increase, a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the applicable scheduled Maturity Date then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility at any time exceed $850,000,000, (ii) in no event shall the Borrower submit more than ten separate requests for a Commitment Increase hereunder, and (iii) on the date of any request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the applicable conditions set forth in Article III shall be satisfied.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of each request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase and the proposed allocation of such amount to each Facility, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Term Loan Commitment (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each, an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or its Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be (each, a “Proposed Increased Commitment”). If the Lenders in respect of any Facility notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Commitments pertaining to such Facility by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase for such Facility, then the requested Commitment Increase in respect of such Facility shall (subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence) be allocated to each Lender willing to participate therein in an amount equal to such Commitment Increase multiplied by the ratio of each Lender’s Proposed Increased Commitment to the applicable Facility to the aggregate amount of all Proposed Increased Commitments to such Facility; provided, however, that the final allocation of the Commitment Increase among the Lenders willing to participate therein shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In no event, however, shall any Lender be required to participate in a Commitment Increase.

(c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the applicable requested Commitment Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(d) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.17(c) (an “Acceding Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.17(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received at or before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i)an accession agreement from each Acceding Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each, an “Accession Agreement”), duly executed by such Acceding Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower;

(ii)confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, together with an amended Schedule I hereto as may be necessary for such Schedule I to be accurate and complete, certified as correct and complete by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower; and

(iii)such certificates or other information as may be required pursuant to Section 3.02.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.17(d), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Acceding Lender) and the Borrower, at or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by telecopier or telex, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Acceding Lender on such date.

(e) On the Increase Date, to the extent the Advances then outstanding and owed to any Lender in respect of the Facility subject to the Commitment Increase (the “Increasing Facility”) immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase shall be less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase) of all Advances then outstanding in respect of the Increasing Facility and owed to all Lenders in respect of such Increasing Facility in their capacities as such (each such Lender, including any Acceding Lender, a “Purchasing Lender”), then such Purchasing Lender, without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased an assignment of a pro rata portion of the Advances then outstanding in respect of the Increasing Facility and owed to each Lender in respect of such Increasing Facility that is not a Purchasing Lender (a “Selling Lender”) in an amount sufficient such that following the effectiveness of all such assignments the Advances outstanding in respect of the Increasing Facility and owed to each Lender in respect of such Increasing Facility shall equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase on the Increase Date) of all Advances then outstanding in respect of the Increasing Facility and owed to all applicable Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid by each Purchasing Lender and received by each Selling Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Increase Date. Each Purchasing Lender shall make the amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Increase Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Increase Date the proceeds of such amount to each of the Selling Lenders entitled to receive such payments at its Applicable Lending Office. If in connection with the transactions described in this Section 2.17 any Lender shall incur any losses, costs or expenses of the type described in Section 10.04(c), then the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for such losses, costs or expenses reasonably incurred.

SECTION 2.18. Defaulting Lenders. (a)If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, if any Letter of Credit or Swing Line Advance is at the time outstanding, each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank, as the case may be, may (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to the extent the Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.18(b)), by notice to the Borrower and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to such Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swing Line Advance in amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender to be applied pro rata in respect thereof, or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to such Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.

(b) If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure and any outstanding Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender:

(i)the Letter of Credit Exposure and the Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, provided that (a) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total Revolving Credit Exposure, total Swing

Line Exposure and total Letter of Credit Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation, (b) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender and (c) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time);

(ii)to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Exposure cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than three (3) Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of any Issuing Bank and/or the Swing Line Bank, as the case may be), (a) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to such Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit Exposure or Swing Line Exposure, as the case may be, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such Letter of Credit Exposure or Swing Line Exposure, or (b) in the case of such Swing Line Exposure, prepay (subject to clause (3) below) and/or Cash Collateralize in full the unreallocated portion thereof, or (c) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to such Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; and

(iii)any amount paid by the Borrower or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.18(f)) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks or the Swing Line Bank (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non‑Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed Letter of Credit Advances then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and seventh after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(c) In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank is hereby authorized by the Borrower (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02 in such amounts and in such times as may be required to

(i) reimburse an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance, (ii) repay an outstanding Swing Line Advance, and/or (iii) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit or Swing Line Advances in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swing Line Advance.

(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to Section 10.01) determine that the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is (without taking into account any provision in the definition of “Defaulting Lender” requiring notice from the Administrative Agent or any other party) a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to Section 10.01) may by notice to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as the Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a replacement Administrative Agent hereunder. Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the earlier of (i) the date a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) the date thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice by the Required Lenders (regardless of whether a replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed).

(e) The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than thirty (30) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.18(b)(iii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(f) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Bank agree in writing, in their discretion, that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, 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 amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.18(b)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Exposure, Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Exposure of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Revolving Credit Exposure, Swing Line Exposure and/or Letter of Credit Exposure of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing), provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.19. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Applicable Lending Office, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender (a “Departing Lender”) to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Sections 10.01(b) and 10.07, as applicable, in each case except to the extent provided in this Section 2.19), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.12) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan

Documents to a Replacement Lender that shall assume such obligations (which may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(b) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.07;

(c) such Departing Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the applicable Replacement Lender (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(d) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

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

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

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Departing Lender required to make an assignment pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with the applicable Replacement Lender. If such Departing Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Administrative Agent after the later of (i) the date on which the Replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (ii) the date on which the Departing Lender receives all payments described in clause (b) of this Section 2.19, then such Departing Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Departing Lender.

SECTION 2.20. Cash Collateral Account.

(a) Grant of Security. The Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for the ratable benefit of the Lender Parties, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for the ratable benefit of the Lender Parties, a security interest in, the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the L/C Cash Collateral Account and all (i) funds and financial assets from time to time credited thereto (including, without limitation, all Cash Equivalents), all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such funds and financial assets, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the L/C Cash Collateral Account, (ii) and all promissory notes, certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, checks and other instruments from time to time delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for or on behalf of the Borrower, in substitution for or in addition to any or all of the then existing L/C Account Collateral and (iii) all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing L/C Account Collateral, in each of the cases set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower, wherever located, and whether now or hereafter existing or arising other than assets located or deemed to be located in Luxembourg (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “L/C Account Collateral”).

(b)Maintaining the L/C Account Collateral. So long as any Advance or any other Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding or any Lender Party shall have any Commitment:

(i)the Borrower will maintain all L/C Account Collateral only with the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent; and

(ii)the Administrative Agent shall have the sole right to direct the disposition of funds with respect to the L/C Cash Collateral Account subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and it shall be a term and condition of such L/C Cash Collateral Account that, except as otherwise provided herein, notwithstanding any term or condition to the contrary in any other agreement relating to the L/C Cash Collateral Account, as the case may be, that no amount (including, without limitation, interest on Cash Equivalents credited thereto) will be paid or released to or for the account of, or withdrawn by or for the account of, the Borrower or any other Person from the L/C Cash Collateral Account; and

(iii)the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Required Lenders and shall at the request of the Required Lenders), at any time and without notice to, or consent from, the Borrower, transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the L/C Account Collateral to satisfy the Borrower’s Obligations under the Loan Documents if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(c)Investing of Amounts in the L/C Cash Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent will, from time to time (i) invest (A) amounts received with respect to the L/C Cash Collateral Account in such Cash Equivalents credited to the L/C Cash Collateral Account as the Borrower may select and the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent, may approve in its reasonable discretion, and (B) interest paid on the Cash Equivalents referred to in clause (i)(A) above, and (ii) reinvest other proceeds of any such Cash Equivalents that may mature or be sold, in each case in such Cash Equivalents credited in the same manner. Interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested in Cash Equivalents as provided above shall be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange such Cash Equivalents for similar Cash Equivalents of smaller or larger determinations, or for other Cash Equivalents, credited to the L/C Cash Collateral Account.

(d)Release of Amounts. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, the Administrative Agent will pay and release to the Borrower or at its order or, at the request of the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.

(e)Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies available pursuant to Article VI hereof and under the other Loan Documents, (i) the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the L/C Account Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected L/C Account Collateral), and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrower, except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set‑off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents against any funds held with respect to the L/C Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.

SECTION 2.21. Reallocation of Lender Pro Rata Shares; No Novation. The Advances made under the Existing Agreement shall be deemed to be made under this Agreement on the date hereof, without executing any other documentation, and all such Advances currently outstanding shall be reallocated among the Lenders as follows:

(b) On the Effective Date, each Lender that will have a greater Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Facility upon the Effective Date than its Pro Rata Share (under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) of the Term Loan Facility (under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, a “TL Purchasing Bank”), without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased assignments pro rata from each Lender that will have a smaller Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Facility upon the Effective Date than its Pro Rata Share (under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) of the Term Loan Facility (under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, a “TL Selling Bank”) in all such TL Selling Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender with respect to the Term Loan Facility (collectively, the “TL Assigned Rights and Obligations”) so that, after giving effect to such assignments, each Lender shall have its respective Term Loan Commitment as set forth in Schedule I and a corresponding Pro Rata Share of all Term Loan Advances then outstanding under the Facility. Each such purchase hereunder shall be at par for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the loans and without recourse, representation or warranty, except that each TL Selling Bank shall be deemed to represent and warrant to each TL Purchasing Bank that the TL Assigned Rights and Obligations of such TL Selling Bank are not subject to any Liens created by that TL Selling Bank. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate amount of each Lender’s Term Loan Advances outstanding at any time exceed its Term Loan Commitment as set forth in Schedule I.

(c) On the Effective Date, each Lender that will have a greater Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Facility upon the Effective Date than its Pro Rata Share (under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) of the Revolving Credit Facility (under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, a “RC Purchasing Bank”), without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased assignments pro rata from each Lender that will have a smaller Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Facility upon the Effective Date than its Pro Rata Share (under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) of the Revolving Credit Facility (under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, a “RC Selling Bank”) in all such RC Selling Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility (collectively, the “RC Assigned Rights and Obligations”) so that, after giving effect to such assignments, each Lender shall have its respective Revolving Credit Commitment as set forth in Schedule I and a corresponding Pro Rata Share of all Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Each such purchase hereunder shall be at par for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the loans and without recourse, representation or warranty, except that each RC Selling Bank shall be deemed to represent and warrant to each RC Purchasing Bank that the RC Assigned Rights and Obligations of such RC Selling Bank are not subject to any Liens created by that RC Selling Bank. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate amount of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Advances outstanding at any time exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment as set forth in Schedule I.

(d) The Borrower shall, upon written demand by any Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), promptly compensate such Lender Party for and hold such Lender Party harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of the reallocations set forth in Sections 2.21(a) and (b) above in respect of Eurodollar Rate Advances to the extent such reallocations take place on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, as of the Effective Date, all Term Loan Advances (under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) that are Eurodollar Rate Advances (under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) shall continue as Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder on the Effective Date and shall bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date plus the Applicable Margin with an Interest Period ending on March 10, 2014, provided that the Lenders (under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be entitled to payment from the Borrower of all accrued interest on any Advances (under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) outstanding immediately prior the Effective Date on the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Eurodollar Rate applicable to Term Loan Advances made under the Existing Agreement which continue as Term Loan Advances under this Agreement (as reallocated hereunder) shall not be reset on the Effective Date.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid or received by each Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Effective Date. Each Lender required to make a payment pursuant to this Section shall make the net amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Effective Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Effective Date the proceeds of such amounts to the Lenders entitled to receive payments pursuant to this Section, pro rata in proportion to the amount each such Lender is entitled to receive at the primary address set forth in Schedule I or at such other address as such Lender may request in writing to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a discharge, extinguishment or novation of the Obligations of the Loan Parties outstanding under the Existing Agreement or any instruments securing the same, which Obligations shall remain outstanding under this Agreement after the date hereof as “Revolving Credit Advances” and “Term Loans,” except as expressly modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently with this Agreement.

GUARANTY

SECTION 7.01. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower and each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations, but in each case excluding all Excluded Swap Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Hedge Bank in enforcing any rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to the

Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Hedge Bank under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party. This Guaranty is and constitutes a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection.

(b) Each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party and each Hedge Bank hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the Hedge Banks hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Hedge Bank under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the Hedge Banks under or in respect of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 7.02. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Hedge Bank with respect thereto. The Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Hedge Bank to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent, such Lender Party or such Hedge Bank (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party and each Hedge Bank to disclose such information);

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guaranty Supplement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Hedge Bank that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Hedge Bank or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Hedge Bank protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any collateral.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Hedge Bank that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. No other provision of this Guaranty shall be construed as limiting the generality of any of the covenants and waivers set forth in this paragraph.

(d) Each Guarantor waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Loan Party or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without

limitation (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any such Loan Party, (ii) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Hedge Bank now has or may hereafter have against any Loan Party, and (iii) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Hedge Bank.

SECTION 7.04. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Hedge Bank against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, all Guaranteed Hedge Agreements shall have expired or been terminated and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated.

If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Hedge Bank of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, (iii) the termination in whole of the Commitments shall have occurred and (iv) all Letters of Credit and Guaranteed Hedge Agreements shall have expired or been terminated, the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the Hedge Banks will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor

SECTION 7.07. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 7.07.

(a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments or payments made in the ordinary course of business from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), however, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

(b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor agrees that the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the Hedge Banks shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including

all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

(c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the Hedge Banks and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

(d) Administrative Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest), and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest).

SECTION 7.08. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (ii) the termination in whole of the Commitments and (iii) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and Guaranteed Hedge Agreements, (b) be binding upon the Guarantors, their successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the Hedge Banks and their successors, transferees and assigns.

SECTION 7.09. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its Guaranteed Obligations in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 7.09 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.09, or otherwise in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, as it relates to such other 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 Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.09 constitute, and this Section 7.09 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.

The obligation of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to make Advances in connection with such Borrowing shall be subject to compliance with the following conditions precedent: (i) no Event of Default shall then exist, (ii) the Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing in the amount of the related New York Advance in accordance with Section 2.02, (iii) the Borrower shall have satisfied the applicable conditions set forth in Article III and any other applicable conditions precedent to a Borrowing hereunder in connection with such Borrowing, and (iv) the Borrower shall have provided to the Administrative Agent evidence as to whether the applicable New York Property is in an area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood or mud slide hazards (a “Flood Hazard Property”) pursuant to a standard flood hazard determination form ordered and received by the Administrative Agent, and if such New York Property is a Flood Hazard Property, (A) evidence as to whether the community in which such New York Property is located is participating in the National Flood Insurance Program, (B) the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor’s written acknowledgment of receipt of written notification from the Administrative Agent as to the fact that such New York Property is a Flood Hazard Property and as to whether the community in which each such Flood Hazard Property is located is participating in the National Flood Insurance Program and (C) copies of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor’s application for a flood insurance policy plus proof of premium payment, a declaration page confirming that flood insurance has been issued, or such other evidence of flood insurance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and naming the Administrative Agent as sole loss payee on behalf of the Lender Parties. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that upon the consummation of such purchase or refinance, the related Existing New York Note and Existing New York Mortgage shall be consolidated, amended and restated as a New York Term Note and a New York Mortgage, substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits G and H. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby acknowledge that each of the Existing Mortgages and each of the Existing Notes shall continue to be a New York Mortgage and a New York Term Note, respectively, under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent agrees to cooperate with the Borrower in all commercially reasonable respects (at the Borrower’s cost) in effectuating an assignment of any Existing New York Notes and Existing New York Mortgages encumbering such New York Property to the Administrative Agent. Such New York Term Note will be in the amount of, and shall evidence, the related New York Advance and made payable to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lender Parties and such New York Term Note and New York Mortgage will be held by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lender Parties. So long as such New York Term Note remains outstanding, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)New York Property as Borrowing Base Asset. The New York Property shall not be disqualified as a Borrowing Base Asset by reason of the related New York Mortgage so long as such New York Mortgage is held by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lender Parties. To the extent such New York Property otherwise qualifies as a Borrowing Base Asset, then such New York Property shall constitute a Borrowing Base Asset hereunder and the Asset Value of such New York Property shall be included in the calculation of Facility Available Amount.

(b)Other Notes. Each New York Term Note shall evidence a portion of the same payment Obligations under the Loan Documents as those evidenced by the Notes. So long as (but only so long as) any New York Mortgage is held by the Administrative Agent as the mortgagee thereunder, then for purposes of Section 5.04, the Debt evidenced by the related New York Term Note shall be deemed to constitute unsecured Debt hereunder and shall not constitute secured Debt.

(c)Payments on the New York Term Notes.

(i)Last Repaid. So long as the total outstanding principal amount of the payment Obligations under the Loan Documents equals or exceeds the then total

100

outstanding principal amount of the New York Term Notes, the principal amount of the payment Obligations evidenced by the New York Term Notes and secured by the New York Mortgages shall at all times equal only the total principal amount of the New York Term Notes. The principal amount of the New York Term Notes shall be reduced only by the last and final sums that the Borrower repays with respect to the Obligations under the Loan Documents and shall not be reduced by any intervening repayments of such Obligations. So long as the balance of the payment Obligations under the Loan Documents exceeds the then total outstanding principal amount of the New York Term Notes, any payments and repayments of such Obligations shall not be deemed to be applied against, or to reduce, the portion of such principal payment Obligations evidenced by the New York Term Notes and secured by the New York Mortgages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may direct the Administrative Agent to apply payments and repayments of payment Obligations under the Loan Documents against the portion of such Obligations evidenced by any New York Term Note and secured by any New York Mortgage. No Advances made under this Agreement subsequent to any particular New York Advance shall be deemed to be an Advance under the related New York Term Note or secured by the related New York Mortgage.

(ii)Other Notes. Any amounts applied to reduce the payment Obligations evidenced by any New York Term Note shall correspondingly reduce the Obligations of the Borrower evidenced by the other Notes on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

(iii)Repayments and Transfers. The Borrower may transfer or cause the transfer of any New York Property to any Person in compliance with Section 5.02(e). In such event and upon the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Borrower to assign the related New York Term Note and the related New York Mortgage without representation, recourse or warranty (other than (A) that the Administrative Agent is the holder of the Debt evidenced and secured thereby and (B) the then outstanding principal amount thereof) to any lender of the transferee of such Hotel Asset as requested by the Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense. Such assignment shall not require the approval of any Lender Party or be subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent other than the preparation (at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense) of appropriate assignment documentation in customary form and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Further, if requested at any time by the Borrower, a Subsidiary that owns a New York Property, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall cause a New York Mortgage to be released. Such release of such New York Mortgage shall not require the consent of any Lender Party or be subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent other than the preparation (at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense) of appropriate release documentation in customary form and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.01, (1) any sale or other disposition of any New York Property occurring in connection with any such assignment or release of a New York Mortgage must comply with the provisions of Section 5.02(e) hereof and (2) from and after the time of any release or assignment of any New York Mortgage, any Debt of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries secured by the related New York Property must not result in any Default or Event of Default under Section 5.02(b).

(iv)Costs, Expenses and Indemnification. The provisions regarding costs and expenses and indemnification Obligations contained in Section 10.04 of this Agreement shall apply in all respects to any transactions involving any Existing New York Note, any Existing New York Mortgage, any New York Term Note or any New York Mortgage and all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties in connection therewith. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the

101

Lender Parties shall be responsible for any losses, costs or expenses incurred by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in connection with the loss of any recording tax credits or savings pertaining to any Existing New York Mortgage or any New York Mortgage. Further, without limitation of any other indemnification obligations of the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Borrower will expressly indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties from any and all losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) they may incur as a result of failure by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates to pay any recording or other documentary taxes associated with any Existing New York Mortgage or any New York Mortgage.

(d)Borrower as Co-Obligor. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that it shall be deemed to be a co-obligor in respect of each New York Term Note. The liability of the Borrower for the obligations evidenced by each New York Term Note shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of such New York Term Note, the related New York Mortgage, any other Loan Document, any participating lease for a Hotel Asset or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii)any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, such New York Term Note or New York Mortgage, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any other Loan Document or any participating lease for a Hotel Asset;

(iii)any exchange, release, or nonperfection of any collateral, if applicable, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other agreement or guaranty, relating to such New York Term Note or any related New York Mortgage; or

(iv)any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of the Borrower in respect thereof.

(e)Certain Waivers. The Borrower makes the waivers set forth below in respect of each New York Term Note and each New York Mortgage:

(i)Notice. The Borrower hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate and any other notice with respect to any of its obligations under any New York Term Note or any New York Mortgage.

(ii)Other Remedies. The Borrower hereby waives any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party protect, secure, perfect, or insure any Lien or any Asset subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower or any other Person or any collateral, if any, including any action required pursuant to applicable law.

(iii)Waiver of Subrogation.

(A)The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, until satisfaction in full of all of its obligations under the New York Term Notes and the New York Mortgages and termination of all Commitments, any claim or other rights which it may acquire against any Subsidiary that arise from the Borrower’s obligations under any New York Term Note, New York Mortgage or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation (including, without limitation, any

102

statutory rights of subrogation under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §509, or otherwise), reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party against such Subsidiary or any collateral which the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party now has or acquires. If any amount shall be paid to the Borrower in violation of the preceding sentence and the obligations under such New York Term Note or such New York Mortgage shall not have been paid in full and all of the Commitments terminated, such amount shall be held in trust by the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lender Parties and shall promptly be paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lender Parties to be applied to the obligations under such New York Term Note or such New York Mortgage, whether matured or unmatured, as the Administrative Agent may elect. The Borrower acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this clause (A) is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

(B)The Borrower further agrees that it will not enter into any agreement providing, directly or indirectly, for any contribution, reimbursement, repayment, or indemnity by any Subsidiary or any other Person on account of any payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party under any New York Term Note or any New York Mortgage.

(f)Rights of Qualified Unsecured Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent (i) shall not foreclose or otherwise enforce the Lien of any New York Mortgage without the prior written consent of each Qualified Unsecured Lender, acting in its sole discretion, and (ii) shall release the Lien of any New York Mortgage in accordance with Section 8.01(c)(iii) promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a written notice from any Qualified Unsecured Lender (x) stating that an event of default has occurred and is continuing in respect of the related Qualified Unsecured Debt and (y) requesting, in the sole discretion of such Qualified Unsecured Lender, that such New York Mortgage be released. This Section 8.01(f) shall inure to the benefit of each Qualified Unsecured Lender as a third party beneficiary, provided that by its acknowledgement of this Article VIII and acceptance of the benefits of this Section 8.01(f), each Qualified Unsecured Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged (A) that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship, or fiduciary duty between the Administrative Agent and any Qualified Unsecured Lender or any other holder of Qualified Unsecured Debt, and (B) that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty whatsoever to protect, secure, perfect, or insure the Lien of any New York Mortgage or to enforce any New York Mortgage against any Person or collateral, and (C) that such Qualified Unsecured Lender shall have no claim or cause of action in connection with any release of any New York Mortgage contemplated by this Article VIII, the nonperfection or lack of priority of any New York Mortgage, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent in respect of a New York Mortgage in accordance with this Article VIII. Notwithstanding any provision herein (including in Section 10.01) or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, neither this Section 8.01(f) nor the defined terms “Qualified Unsecured Lender,” “Qualified Unsecured Debt” and “New York Mortgage” may be amended or waived (as applicable) without the written consent of each Qualified Unsecured Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.01(f) shall be deemed to limit the rights of Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties under Article VI of this Agreement (except to the extent described in clause (i) of this Section 8.01(f) above), nor shall this Section 8.01(f) limit or restrict or affect in any manner whatsoever the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties to enforce or otherwise protect their rights and benefits under any Loan Document other than a New York Mortgage or the right of the Borrower to cause any New York Mortgage to be released in accordance with Section 8.01(c)(iii).

The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender Party prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, no Person identified as a syndication agent, documentation agent, senior manager, joint lead arranger or joint book running manager, in such Person’s capacity as such, shall have any obligations or duties to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party under any of such Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.04. Lender Party Credit Decision. Each Lender Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.05. Indemnification by Lender Parties. (a) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party severally agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 10.04, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 9.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender Party or any other Person.

(b) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify each Issuing Bank (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful

(c) For purposes of this Section 9.05, the Lender Parties’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to their respective Commitments at such time. The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender Party’s ratable share of such amount. The terms “Administrative Agent” and “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include the employees, directors, officers and affiliates of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 9.05. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 9.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.06. Successor Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that any removal of the Administrative Agent will not be effective until it (or its Affiliate) has been replaced as an Issuing Bank and released from all obligations in respect thereof. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, 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 this Agreement, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 9.06 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as an Administrative Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

106

SECTION 9.07. Relationship of Administrative Agent and Lenders. The relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the relationship among the Lenders, is not intended by the parties to create, and shall not create, any trust, joint venture or partnership relation between or among all of any of them.

(a) In the event that any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) shall fail to consent to a waiver or amendment to, or a departure from, the provisions of this Agreement which requires the consent of all Lenders and that has been consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, then the Borrower shall have the right, upon written demand to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent given within 30 days after the first date on which such consent was solicited in writing from the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (a “Consent Request Date”), to cause such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to a Replacement Lender, provided that (i)

All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications described in this clause (a) shall be effective (i) if delivered by hand, including any overnight courier service, upon personal delivery, (ii) if delivered by mail, when deposited in the mails, (iii) if delivered by posting to an Approved Electronic Platform, an Internet website or a similar telecommunication device requiring that a user have prior access to such Approved Electronic Platform, website or other device (to the extent permitted by Section 10.02(b) to be delivered thereunder), when such notice, demand, request, consent and other

108

communication shall have been made generally available on such Approved Electronic Platform, Internet website or similar device to the class of Person being notified (regardless of whether any such Person must accomplish, and whether or not any such Person shall have accomplished, any action prior to obtaining access to such items, including registration, disclosure of contact information, compliance with a standard user agreement or undertaking a duty of confidentiality) and such Person has been notified in respect of such posting that a communication has been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform, provided that if requested by any Lender Party, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender Party by e-mail or telecopier and (iv) if delivered by electronic mail or any other telecommunications device, when receipt is confirmed by electronic mail as provided in this clause (a); provided, however, that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II, III or IX shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or of any Exhibit hereto to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof. Each Lender Party agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender Party’s e-mail address to which a notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender Party) and (ii) that any notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(a) Notwithstanding clause (a) (unless the Administrative Agent requests that the provisions of clause (a) be followed) and any other provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document providing for the delivery of any Approved Electronic Communication by any other means, the Loan Parties shall deliver all Approved Electronic Communications to the Administrative Agent by properly transmitting such Approved Electronic Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx or such other electronic mail address (or similar means of electronic delivery) as the Administrative Agent may notify to the Borrower. Nothing in this clause (b) shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to any Loan Party in any manner authorized in this Agreement or to request that the Borrower effect delivery in such manner.

(c) Each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lender Parties by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinks™ or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party hereby approves distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(d) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED

109

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

(e) Each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

SECTION 10.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein and therein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 10.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) Each Loan Party agrees jointly and severally to pay on demand (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, Asset review, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses, (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto (including, without limitation, with respect to reviewing and advising on any matters required to be completed by the Loan Parties on a post-closing basis), with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities, or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under the Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with any Loan Party or with other creditors of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto and (C) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect to the preparation, execution, delivery and review of any documents and instruments at any time delivered pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02, 5.01(j) or 5.01(k) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party with respect thereto).

(b) Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i) the Facilities, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries,

110

except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or willful breach in bad faith of a material provision of any Loan Document. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.04(b) 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 Indemnified Party, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are consummated. Each Loan Party also agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facilities, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

(c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender Party other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09(b)(i), 2.10(d) or 2.17(e), acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or if the Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or 6.01 or otherwise (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.06(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith), the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance.

(d) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, in its sole discretion.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties contained in Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 7.06 and this Section 10.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.

(f) No Indemnified Party referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under the

111

Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note or Notes and although such obligations may be unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower or such Loan Party after any such set‑off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set‑off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section 10.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set‑off) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender Party and their respective Affiliates may have; provided, however, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18(b) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Bank and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will 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.

SECTION 10.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, each Guarantor named on the signature pages hereto and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender and each Initial Issuing Bank that such Initial Lender or such Initial Issuing Bank, as the case may be, has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Guarantors named on the signature pages hereto and the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender Parties.

SECTION 10.07. Assignments and Participations; Replacement Notes. (a) Each Lender may (and, if demanded by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19 or 10.01(b) will) assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of one or more of the Facilities, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or a Fund Affiliate of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall be (1) the lesser of (x) $5,000,000 (under each Facility), (y) the amount of any Lender’s Commitment or (z) the amount of any Lender’s Commitment then remaining at the time of such proposed assignment and (2) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in each case, such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, the Borrower), (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or 10.01(b) shall be an assignment at par of all rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (v) no such assignments shall be permitted (A) until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Lender Parties that syndication of the Commitments hereunder has been completed, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, and (B) at any other time without the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except if such assignment is being made by a Lender to an Affiliate or Fund Affiliate of such Lender, (vi) no such assignments shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender or any of their respective subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause, and (vii) except to the extent contemplated by Sections 2.19 and 10.01(b), the parties to each such

112

assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and, except if such assignment is being made by a Lender to an Affiliate or Fund Affiliate of such Lender, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that for each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or 10.01(b), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the applicable processing and recordation fee. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment 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 Advances 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, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances and participants in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(b) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or Issuing Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12, 7.06, 9.05 and 10.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender Party or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to

113

exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties and the Commitment under each Facility of, and principal amount of the Advances owing under each Facility to, each Lender Party from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender Party and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by the applicable Lender, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a substitute Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under each Facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under such Facility, a substitute Note to the order of such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such substitute Note or Notes, if any, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.

(f) Each Issuing Bank may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment at any time; provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that immediately prior to such assignment was an Issuing Bank or an assignment of all of an Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Letter of Credit Commitment of the assigning Issuing Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that such fee shall not be payable if the assigning Issuing Bank is making such assignment simultaneously with the assignment in its capacity as a Lender of all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment to the same Eligible Assignee.

(g) Each Lender Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any natural person or any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender Party shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) no

114

participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except that any agreement with respect to such participation may provide that such participant shall have the right to approve an amendment, waiver or consent to the extent such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation and (vi) a participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 2.12(f) and 2.12(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 2.12 (f) and (g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender Party)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender Party and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender Party would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(h) Any Lender Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Loan Parties (or any of them) furnished to such Lender Party by or on behalf of any Loan Party; provided, however, that prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Information received by it from such Lender Party on the same terms as provided in Section 10.10.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender Party may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it), including in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the central bank of any country in which such Lender is organized.

(j) Upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Lender’s Note, the Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu of such original Note, a replacement promissory note, identical in form and substance to, and dated as of the same date as, the Note so lost, stolen or mutilated, subject to delivery by such Lender to the Borrower of an affidavit of lost note and indemnity in customary form. Upon the execution and delivery of the replacement Note, all references herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the lost, stolen or mutilated Note shall be deemed references to the replacement Note.

SECTION 10.08. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier

115

or by email with a pdf or similar attachment shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.09. Severability. In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 10.10. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document or made in writing by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, the making of the Advances and any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders, none of which investigations shall diminish any Lender’s right to rely on such representations and warranties.

SECTION 10.11. Usury Not Intended. It is the intent of the Borrower and each Lender Party in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the Advances of each Lender Party including such applicable laws of the State of New York and the United States of America from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof, the Lender Parties and the Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes hereof “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts taken, reserved, charged, received or paid on the Advances, include amounts which by applicable law are deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and each Lender Party receiving same shall credit the same on the principal of the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (or if such Obligations shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to the Borrower). In the event that the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents are accelerated by reason any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the Maximum Rate and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the principal of the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (or, if such Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Borrower). In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrower and the Lenders shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Facilities all amounts considered to be interest under applicable law at any time contracted for, charged, received or reserved in connection with the Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith.

SECTION 10.12. No Liability of Issuing Bank. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. None of any Issuing Bank or any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents

116

that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non‑appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Bank 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.

SECTION 10.13. Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the Issuing Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self‑regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) 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, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section, (vii) to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (viii) to any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (ix) to any rating agency, (x) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (xi) with the consent of the Borrower or (xii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.10 or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender Party, such Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a non‑confidential basis from a source other than the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries without the Administrative Agent, such Lender Party, such Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates having knowledge that a duty of confidentiality to the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries has been breached. For purposes of this Section 10.10, “Information” means all information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement that any Loan Party furnishes to the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party but does not include any information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than by way of a breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 10.10 or that is or becomes available to the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party from a source other than the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party and not in violation of any confidentiality agreement with respect to such information that is actually known to the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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.

(a) Certain of the Lender Parties may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that does not contain material

117

non‑public information with respect to any of the Parent Guarantor, any or its Subsidiaries or their respective securities (“Restricting Information”). Other Lender Parties may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that may contain Restricting Information. Each Lender Party acknowledges that United States federal and state securities laws prohibit any person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis of material, non‑public information concerning the issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other Person. None of the Administrative Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall, by making any Communications (including Restricting Information) available to a Lender Party, by participating in any conversations or other interactions with a Lender Party or otherwise, make or be deemed to make any statement with regard to or otherwise warrant that any such information or Communication does or does not contain Restricting Information nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees be responsible or liable in any way for any decision a Lender Party may make to limit or to not limit its access to Restricting Information. In particular, none of the Administrative Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees (i) shall have, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each of its directors, officers, agents and employees, hereby disclaims, any duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether or not a Lender Party has or has not limited its access to Restricting Information, such Lender Party’s policies or procedures regarding the safeguarding of material, nonpublic information or such Lender Party’s compliance with applicable laws related thereto or (ii) shall have, or incur, any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender Party or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees arising out of or relating to the Administrative Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees providing or not providing Restricting Information to any Lender Party, other than as found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees.

(c)Each Loan Party agrees that (i) all Communications it provides to the Administrative Agent intended for delivery to the Lender Parties whether by posting to the Approved Electronic Platform or otherwise shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” if such Communications are determined by the Loan Parties in good faith not to contain Restricting Information which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” each Loan Party shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although such Communications shall remain subject to the confidentiality undertakings of Section 10.10(a)) with respect to such Loan Party or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” may be delivered to all Lender Parties and may be made available through a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated “Public Side Information” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as Restricting Information and may post such Communications to a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform not designated “Public Side Information” (and shall not post such Communications to a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated “Public Side Information”). Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible for any statement or other designation by a Loan Party regarding whether a Communication contains or does not contain material non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties or their securities nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates incur any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender Party or any other Person for any action taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates based upon such statement or designation, including any action as a result of which Restricting Information is provided to a Lender Party that may decide not to take access to Restricting Information. Nothing in this Section 10.10(c) shall modify or limit a Person’s obligations under Section 10.10 with regard to Communications and the maintenance of the confidentiality of or other treatment of Information.

(d)Each Lender Party acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to Communications that might contain Restricting Information. Accordingly, each Lender Party agrees that it will nominate at least one designee to receive Communications (including Restricting Information) on its

118

behalf and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact information) in writing to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender Party agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time of such Lender Party’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Restricting Information may be sent by electronic transmission.

(e)Each Lender Party acknowledges that Communications delivered hereunder and under the other Loan Documents may contain Restricting Information and that such Communications are available to all Lender Parties generally. Each Lender Party that elects not to take access to Restricting Information does so voluntarily and, by such election, acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties may have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such electing Lender Party. Each such electing Lender Party acknowledges the possibility that, due to its election not to take access to Restricting Information, it may not have access to any Communications (including, without being limited to, the items required to be made available to the Administrative Agent in Section 5.03 unless or until such Communications (if any) have been filed or incorporated into documents which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Parent Guarantor). None of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party with access to Restricting Information shall have any duty to disclose such Restricting Information to such electing Lender Party or to use such Restricting Information on behalf of such electing Lender Party, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, such Restricting Information.

(f)Sections 10.10(b), (c), (d) and (e) are designed to assist the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the Loan Parties, in complying with their respective contractual obligations and applicable law in circumstances where certain Lender Parties express a desire not to receive Restricting Information notwithstanding that certain Communications hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or other information provided to the Lender Parties hereunder or thereunder may contain Restricting Information. None of the Administrative Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents or employees warrants or makes any other statement with respect to the adequacy of such provisions to achieve such purpose nor does the Administrative Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents or employees warrant or make any other statement to the effect that a Loan Party’s or Lender Party’s adherence to such provisions will be sufficient to ensure compliance by such Loan Party or Lender Party with its contractual obligations or its duties under applicable law in respect of Restricting Information and each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party assumes the risks associated therewith.

SECTION 10.14. Patriot Act Notification. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties 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”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Parent Guarantor and the Borrower shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 10.15. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or other proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any other party hereto in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted or required by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto

119

agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

SECTION 10.16. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 10.17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDER PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE ADVANCES, THE LETTERS OF CREDIT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

SECTION 10.18. No Fiduciary Duties. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Affiliate thereof, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties agree that the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions. Each Loan Party agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and their respective Affiliates may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties with interests which a Loan Party may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or not material to the Loan Parties) other than as a result of (x) the Administrative Agent acting as administrative agent hereunder, or (y) the Lender Parties acting as lenders hereunder, that the Administrative Agent or any such Lender Party may not be entitled to share with any Loan Party. Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties agrees that the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and their respective Affiliates may (a) deal (whether for its own or its customers’ account) in, or advise on, securities of any Person, and (b) accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with other Persons in each case, as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent and as if the Lender Parties were not Lender Parties, and without any duty to account therefor to the Loan Parties. Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably waives, in favor of the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties, the Syndication Agent and the Arrangers, any conflict of interest which may arise by virtue of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and/or the Lender Parties acting in various capacities under the Loan Documents or for other customers of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Syndication Agent or any Lender Party as described in this Section 10.15.
