shall be considered capital leases hereunder and all calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in accordance therewith.

1.5Pro Forma Calculations. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.5; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 1.5, when calculating the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio or the Total Leverage Ratio, as applicable, for the purposes of (i) the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow or (ii) determining actual compliance (not Pro Forma Compliance or compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with the Financial Covenant, the events described in this Section 1.5 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period, other than consummation of the Transactions, shall not be given pro forma effect.

(b)For purposes of calculating the First Lien Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio, Pro Forma Transactions (and the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to, or substantially simultaneously with, the event with respect to which the calculation of any such ratio is being made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Pro Forma Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Pro Forma Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the US Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Pro Forma Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.5, then the First Lien Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.5.

(c)Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Pro Forma Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the US Borrower and shall include, without duplication, (i) the EBITDA (as determined in good faith by the US Borrower) of any Person or line of business acquired or disposed of and (ii) subject to the cap set forth in the proviso to clause (b)(xii) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”, the “run-rate” (i.e., the full recurring benefit for a period associated with an action taken or expected to be taken) amount of expected cost savings, operating expense reductions and other operating improvements and synergies resulting from such Pro Forma Transaction that are certified by such Responsible Officer of the US Borrower to the Administrative Agent as being (x) factually supportable and reasonably identifiable, reasonably attributable to the actions specified and reasonably anticipated to result from such actions and (y) reasonably anticipated to be realized within twenty-four months after the closing or other date of such Pro Forma Transaction (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and other operating improvements and synergies had been realized on the first day of the relevant Test Period as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies were realized during the entirety of such period), net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions.

(d)In the event that the US Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (i) incurs (including by assumption or guarantee) or (ii) repays, redeems, defeases, retires, extinguishes or is released from, or is otherwise no longer obligated in respect of (each, a “Repayment”), any Indebtedness included in the calculation of the First Lien Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Leverage Ratio or Total Leverage Ratio, as the case may be (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes), (x) during the applicable Test Period or (y) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to, or substantially simultaneously with, the event with respect to which the calculation of any such ratio is being made, then the First Lien Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Leverage Ratio or Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or Repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period.

1.6Classification of Permitted Items. For purposes of determining compliance at any time with Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.11 or 6.12, in the event that any Indebtedness, Lien, Disposition, Restricted Payment, Investment, Contractual Obligation, encumbrance or restriction or payment, prepayment, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or amendment, modification or other change in respect of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of transactions permitted pursuant to any clause of such Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.11 or 6.12, such transaction (or portion thereof) at any time shall be permitted under one or more of such clauses as determined by the US Borrower in its sole discretion at such time of determination.

1.7Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

1.8Currency Equivalents Generally.

(a)For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 6.2, 6.3 and 6.7, with respect to any amount of Indebtedness, Lien or Investment in a currency other than US Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness, Lien or Investment is incurred, made or acquired (so long as such Indebtedness, Lien or Investment, at the time incurred, granted, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder).

(b)For purposes of determining the First Lien Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio, amounts denominated in a currency other than US Dollars will be converted to US Dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the US Borrower’s financial statements corresponding to the Test Period with respect to the applicable date of determination and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedge Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the US Dollar equivalent of such Indebtedness.

(c)The Administrative Agent shall determine the Spot Rate as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating US Dollar Equivalent of any Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars. Such Spot Rate shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date, and shall be the Spot Rate employed until the next Revaluation Date to occur. The Administrative Agent shall notify the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower and the Lenders of each calculation of the US Dollar Equivalent of each Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars.

Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.6, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Revolving Credit Lender of the relevant Facility or Facilities of the details thereof and of the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Revolving Credit Borrowing.

2.7Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Bank, in reliance on the agreements of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 2.7(d), agrees to issue trade and standby US Tranche Letters of Credit (which must be denominated in US Dollars) for the account of the US Borrower or the account of the US Borrower for the benefit of any Restricted Subsidiary and Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit (which must be denominated in US Dollars or Canadian Dollars) for the account of the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, in each case on any Business Day during the applicable Availability Period in such form as may be reasonably approved from time to time by such Issuing Bank; provided that Credit Suisse, in its capacity as an Issuing Bank, shall not be required to issue trade Letters of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.7; provided, further, that no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any US Tranche Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the LC Exposure with respect to US Tranche Letters of Credit would exceed the US Tranche LC Sublimit, (ii) the Total US Tranche Revolving Credit

Exposure would exceed the sum of the total US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) the LC Exposure of such Issuing Bank with respect to US Tranche Letters of Credit would exceed the LC Percentage of such Issuing Bank with respect to the US Tranche LC Sublimit or (iv) solely to the extent of the Issuing Banks on the Closing Date, the amount of the LC Exposure attributable to the US Tranche Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Banks would exceed their US Tranche Percentage on the Closing Date; provided, further, that no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (I) the LC Exposure with respect to Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit would exceed the Canadian Tranche LC Sublimit, (II) the Total Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the sum of the total Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments, (III) the LC Exposure of such Issuing Bank with respect to Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit would exceed the LC Percentage of such Issuing Bank with respect to the Canadian Tranche LC Sublimit or (IV) solely to the extent of the Issuing Banks on the Closing Date, the amount of the LC Exposure attributable to the Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Banks would exceed their Canadian Tranche Percentage on the Closing Date. Additionally, no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue or renew any Letter of Credit if the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than (A) US Dollars (in the case of a US Tranche Letter of Credit) or (B) US Dollars or Canadian Dollars (in the case of a Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit) unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the applicable Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or for its own account for the benefit of any Restricted Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period (but not later than the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the applicable Borrower to, or entered into by the applicable Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent) in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.7), the amount of such Letter of Credit, whether the Letter of Credit is to be a US Tranche Letter of Credit or Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated (which, in the case of a US Tranche Letter of Credit, shall be in US Dollars and, in the case of a Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit, shall be in US Dollars or Canadian Dollars), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by an Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any

request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) in the case of US Tranche Letters of Credit, (A) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the US Tranche LC Sublimit and (B) in the case of US Tranche Letters of Credit, the Total US Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the sum of the total US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) in the case of Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit, (A) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the Canadian Tranche LC Sublimit and (B) the Total Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the sum of the total Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one (1) year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, the date that is one (1) year after the date of such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (unless other provisions or arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank and Administrative Agent shall have been made with respect to such Letter of Credit, but which shall include the release by the relevant Issuing Bank of each applicable Revolving Credit Lender from its participation obligations hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit). If the applicable Borrower so requests in any notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that the applicable Borrower shall be required to make a specific request to the applicable Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the earlier of (i) the date that is one (1) year from the date of such renewal (or such longer period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (unless other provisions or arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank shall have been made with respect to such Letter of Credit, and shall include the release by the relevant Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent of each applicable Revolving Credit Lender from its participation obligations hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit); provided that the applicable Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if such Issuing Bank has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 4.2 or otherwise).

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each US Tranche Revolving Credit Lender (with respect to each US Tranche Letter of Credit) or each Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Lender (with respect to each Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit), and (i) each US Tranche Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from the applicable Issuing Bank, a participation in such US Tranche Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s US Tranche Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such US Tranche Letter of Credit and (ii) each Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from the applicable Issuing Bank a participation in such Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Canadian Tranche Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, (A) each US Tranche Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to

the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such US Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s US Tranche Percentage of each LC Disbursement with respect to a US Tranche Letter of Credit made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.7, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason in respect thereof and (B) each Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s Canadian Tranche Percentage of each LC Disbursement with respect to a Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit made by such Issuing Bank, at the US Dollar Equivalent, using the Spot Rate on the date such payment is required, of each LC Disbursement in respect of any Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit made by the Issuing Bank and, in each case, not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.7, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason in respect thereof. Each US Tranche Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of US Tranche Letters of Credit, and each Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit, and such Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations under Section 2.7(e) are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 4, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the applicable Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrowers, any other Loan Agreement Party or any other Lender or any reduction in or termination of the US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments or the Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount and currency equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the first Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives notice that such LC Disbursement is made (or, if such Borrower receives such notice after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives such notice); provided that (if the conditions of Section 4.2 are satisfied) the applicable Borrower shall have the absolute and unconditional right to require that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing (in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in US Dollars) or a Eurocurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month (in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars) under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility under which the applicable Letter of Credit was issued, in each case in an equivalent amount and currency (subject to the requirements of set forth in Sections 2.4 through 2.6, as applicable) and, to the extent so financed, the applicable Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit Borrowing. If the applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due, or finance such payment in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the applicable LC Disbursement and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each US Tranche Revolving

Credit Lender (in the case of a US Tranche Letter of Credit) and each Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Lender (in the case of a Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit) of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each US Tranche Revolving Credit Lender (in the case of a US Tranche Letter of Credit) and each Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Lender (in the case of a Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit) shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such notice is received (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 noon, New York City time on such day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Credit Loans or Eurocurrency Revolving Credit Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Applicable Percentage of an LC Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Revolving Credit Lender, the US Borrower and, in the case of a Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit obtained by the Canadian Borrower, the Canadian Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this Section 2.7(e) to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to ABR Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) in the case of such Revolving Credit Lender, (A) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in US Dollars, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate and (B) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Eurocurrency Rate with an Interest Period of one month.

(f) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.7 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any adverse change in the exchange rate or in the availability of Canadian Dollars to the Canadian Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or in the relevant currency markets generally or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.7, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, each Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the provisions of this Section 2.7(f) shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to indirect, consequential, special and punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by such Borrower to the extent permitted by all applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by email) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Credit Loans (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in US Dollars) and the Eurocurrency Rate with an Interest Period of one month (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars); provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.15(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.7 to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank (provided that no consent of the replaced Issuing Bank will be required if it has no Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto outstanding) and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the US Borrower, and, in the case of a Canadian Tranche Letter of Credit obtained by the Canadian Borrower, the Canadian Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.13(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to renew existing Letters of Credit or issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default under clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) of Section 7 with respect to Holdings or the Borrowers shall occur and be continuing or if the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to Section 7 as a result of any Event of Default, on the Business Day that the Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), in each case, demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the applicable LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Letter of Credit obligations of the applicable Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made in Cash Equivalents at the option and reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the applicable Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.

Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Borrower for the applicable LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. If either Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default specified above, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within two (2) Business Days after such Event of Default has been cured or waived (unless the Commitments have been terminated and the Obligations have been accelerated, in each case in accordance with Section 7).

(k) Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. If the Maturity Date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments (or, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, if one or more other tranches of Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments) in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect and such Letter of Credit would otherwise be available under such tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7(d) and (e)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-maturing tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the applicable Borrower shall cash collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.7(j). For the avoidance of doubt, commencing with the Maturity Date of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit under any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments that has not so then matured shall be as agreed in the relevant Permitted Amendment with the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders.

2.8Funding of Borrowings. (a) Except as expressly set forth in Section 2.2, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the applicable currency by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that US Tranche Revolving Credit Loans to be made on the Closing Date shall be made not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time (or, if later, promptly following the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the initial extension of credit hereunder set forth in Section 4.1). The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the applicable Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City or such other account reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent, in each case, as is designated by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Credit Loans or Eurocurrency Revolving Credit Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.7(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.8 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (x) in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (y) in the case of Loans in Canadian Dollars, the rate reasonably determined in accordance with customary practice by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, or (ii) in the case of the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans of the applicable Class (in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars) and Eurocurrency Loans of the applicable Class with an Interest Period of one month (in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars). If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

2.9Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in the Borrowing Request, then the Loans shall be made as ABR Loans (in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars) or Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one month (in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars) and if the applicable Borrower requests a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have requested an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type (excluding Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Borrowings which may not be so converted) or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.9. The applicable Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.9, (i) the applicable Borrower will not be permitted to change the currency of any Borrowing and (ii) Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars will not be permitted to be converted into ABR Revolving Credit Borrowings.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.9, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.6 if the applicable Borrower were requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing after the Closing Date of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the applicable Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.5:

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

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

(iii)whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing (provided that in no event shall a Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars be an ABR Borrowing); and

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

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

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

(e) If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period (i) if such Borrowing is denominated in US Dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) if such Borrowing is denominated in Canadian Dollars, such Borrowing shall continue as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the applicable Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (x) (A) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in US Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (B) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in US Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (y) (A) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars may be converted to or

continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of more than one month’s duration and (B) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be converted to a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

2.10Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Term Loans on the Closing Date and, in any event, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date. The commitments of each Issuing Bank to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (iii) such Issuing Bank ceasing to be a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder.

(b) The applicable Borrower may at any time terminate, without premium or penalty, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility (or under any tranche of the Revolving Credit Commitments); provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) in any event, the applicable Borrower shall not terminate or reduce (A) the US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.12, the Total US Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure under any tranche would exceed the sum of the total US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments under such tranche (or, in any event, the Total US Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure under any tranche would exceed the sum of the total US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments under such tranche) or (B) the Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.12, the Total Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure under any tranche would exceed the sum of the total Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments under such tranche (or, in any event, the total Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure under any tranche would exceed the sum of the total Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments under such tranche).

(c) The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility (or any tranche thereof) pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.10 at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments delivered by the applicable Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or any other financing, Disposition or other transaction. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanent (but subject to any increase pursuant to Section 2.23). Each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility (other than any such reduction resulting from the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 2.21) shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments under such Revolving Credit Facility.

2.11Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The applicable Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (i) for the account of each US Tranche Revolving Credit Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each US Tranche Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender on the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (ii) for the account of each Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender on the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

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

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

(d)The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.11 shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)Any Lender may request through the Administrative Agent that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the form of Exhibit G-1 or G-2, as applicable. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.4) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (and its registered assigns).

2.12Prepayment of Loans. (a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing made by it in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Sections 2.12(e) and 2.18), subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12.

(b)Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12. Each optional or mandatory prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied ratably to the Term Loans (based on the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof unless, in the case of Extended Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Replacement Term Loans, the applicable Permitted Amendment specifies a less favorable treatment); provided that prepayments of Term Loans made with the proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans and Permitted Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.14(d). Prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments as follows:

(i)any mandatory prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.14 shall be applied to the remaining scheduled principal installments (a) in the case of the Term Loans, first in direct order to the unpaid amounts due on the next succeeding eight Term Loan Installment Dates, and then on a pro rata basis to the then remaining scheduled amortization installments in respect of such Term Loans and (b) in the case of any other Term Loans, in the order specified in the applicable Permitted Amendment, and

(ii)any optional prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(a) shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments thereof as directed by the US Borrower (or, if no such direction is given, in direct order of maturity thereof).

(c)The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that any notice of prepayment may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or any other financing, Disposition or other transaction. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.5. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.15. Each repayment of a Borrowing (x) in the case of a Revolving Credit Facility, shall be applied to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Revolving Credit Lender holding Loans included in such repaid Borrowing receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective US Tranche Revolving Credit Exposures or Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Exposures, as the case may be, of the Revolving Credit Lenders holding Loans included in such repaid Borrowing at the time of such repayment) and (y) in all other cases, shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Voluntary prepayments made by the Canadian Borrower will only be applied to Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Borrowings made by it. In the event the US Borrower fails to specify the Borrowings to which any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied as follows:

first, to repay outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings to the full extent thereof (ratably among Revolving Credit Facilities); and

second, to prepay the Term Borrowings ratably (unless, with respect to a Class of Term Loans, the applicable Permitted Amendment specifies a less favorable treatment).

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including the penultimate sentence of Section 2.12(c) or Section 2.20(c)) or any other Loan Document, the Purchasing Borrower Parties shall have the right at any time and from time to time to purchase Term Loans by way of assignment in accordance with Section 9.4(g), including pursuant to a Dutch Auction in accordance with Section 2.12(f).

(e)In the event that, prior to the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date, the US Borrower (i) makes any repayment, prepayment, purchase or buyback of Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Event or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Event, the US Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term Loan Lenders (including any Non-Consenting Lender) (x) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so being prepaid, repaid or purchased and (y) in the case of clause (ii), an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment that are subject to such Repricing Event.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.12 or any other provision of this Agreement and without otherwise limiting the rights in respect of prepayments of the Term Loans, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Purchasing Borrower Party may repurchase outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(f) on the following basis:

(i)Any Purchasing Borrower Party may conduct one or more auctions (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans of a Class (the “Subject Class”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) of the Term Loans that will be the subject of the Auction (an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall contain (x) the total cash value of the bid, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 with minimum increments of $1,000,000 (the “Auction Amount”), and (y) the discount to par, which shall be a range (the “Discount Range”) of percentages of the par principal amount of the Term Loans at issue that represents the range of purchase prices that could be paid in the Auction;

(ii)In connection with any Auction, each Term Loan Lender may, in its sole discretion, participate in such Auction and may provide the Administrative Agent with a notice of participation (the “Return Bid”), which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall specify (x) a price discounted to par that must be expressed as a price (the “Reply Discount Price”), which must be within the Discount Range, and (y) a principal amount of Term Loans which shall be in increments of $1,000,000 or in an amount equal to such Term Loan Lender’s entire remaining amount of such Loans (the “Reply Amount”). Term Loan Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction. In addition to the Return

Bid, the participating Term Loan Lender must execute and deliver, to be held in escrow by the Administrative Agent, an Assignment and Assumption in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;

(iii)Based on the Reply Discount Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the US Borrower, will determine the applicable discount (the “Applicable Discount”) for the Auction, which will be the lowest Reply Discount Price for which a Purchasing Borrower Party can complete the Auction at the Auction Amount; provided that, in the event that the Reply Amounts are insufficient to allow such Purchasing Borrower Party to complete a purchase of the entire Auction Amount (any such Auction, a “Failed Auction”), such Purchasing Borrower Party shall either, at its election, (x) withdraw the Auction or (y) complete the Auction at an Applicable Discount equal to the highest Reply Discount Price. Any Purchasing Borrower Party shall purchase Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) from each Term Loan Lender with a Reply Discount Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Bids”) at the Applicable Discount; provided, further, that if the aggregate proceeds required to purchase all Term Loans subject to Qualifying Bids would exceed the Auction Amount for such Auction, the US Borrower shall purchase such Term Loans at the Applicable Discount ratably based on the principal amounts of such Qualifying Bids (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent). Each participating Term Loan Lender will receive notice of a Qualifying Bid as soon as reasonably practicable but in no case later than five (5) Business Days from the date the Return Bid was due;

(iv)Once initiated by an Auction Notice, no Purchasing Borrower Party may withdraw an Auction without the consent of the Administrative Agent other than a Failed Auction. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Term Loan Lender of a Qualifying Bid, such Lender (each, a “Qualifying Lender”) will be obligated to sell the entirety or its allocable portion of the Reply Amount, as the case may be, at the Applicable Discount. Each purchase of Term Loans in an Auction shall be consummated pursuant to procedures (including as to response deadlines, rounding amounts, type and Interest Period of accepted Term Loans, and calculation of the Applicable Discount referred to above) established by the Administrative Agent and agreed to by the US Borrower; and

(v)The repurchases by any Purchasing Borrower Party of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(f) shall be subject to the following conditions: (A) the Auction is open to all Term Loan Lenders of the Subject Class on a pro rata basis, (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom, (C) as of the date of such repurchase the Purchasing Borrower Party shall make a representation to the Qualifying Lender assigning the Term Loan (unless the making of such representation is waived by such Qualifying Lender) that it is not aware of any material non-public information with respect to the business of the US Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or their respective securities that (x) has not been disclosed to such Qualifying Lender prior to such date and (y) if made public would reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Term Loan Lender’s decision to assign the Term Loans to the Purchasing Borrower Party (other than because such Qualifying Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the business of the Purchasing Borrower Party or any of the Subsidiaries), (D) any Term Loan Loans

repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.12(f) shall be automatically and permanently canceled upon acquisition thereof by the Purchasing Borrower Party and (E) at the time of (and after giving effect to) any such repurchase no Revolving Credit Loans shall be outstanding.

2.13Fees. (a) The US Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each US Tranche Revolving Credit Lender, a revolving credit facility fee, which shall accrue at the Revolving Credit Facility Fee Rate, on the daily amount of the aggregate US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment outstanding, whether drawn or undrawn (or, if the US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments shall have expired or terminated and there is any remaining US Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure with respect to Loans made or Letters of Credit issued under the US Revolving Credit Facility, on the daily amount of such US Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure), of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments terminates. The US Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Lender a revolving credit facility fee, which shall accrue at the Revolving Credit Facility Fee Rate, on the daily amount of the aggregate Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment outstanding, whether drawn or undrawn (or, if the Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments shall have expired or terminated and there is any remaining Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure with respect to Loans made or Letters of Credit issued under the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, on the US Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount of such Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure), of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments terminates. The foregoing notwithstanding, the applicable lenders may consent to a different revolving credit facility fee to be paid pursuant to the terms of any applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, Replacement Facility Amendment or Extension Offer. Accrued revolving credit facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on the last day of September 2016. All revolving credit facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b)(i) The US Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each US Tranche Revolving Credit Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in US Tranche Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Credit Loans, on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure in respect of US Tranche Letters of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure with respect to any US Tranche Letters of Credit. The US Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Credit Loans, on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure in respect of Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure with respect to any Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit. Each Borrower, severally but not

jointly, agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate equal to the greater of (x) $500.00 and (y) 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank on account of such Borrower during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure attributable to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued participation fees and fronting fees shall be payable on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on the last day of September 2016; provided that any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c)The US Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees described in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter dated August 3, 2016, by and between the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d)All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (except as otherwise expressly agreed).

2.14Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If Indebtedness is incurred by Holdings, the US Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.2), then on the date of such issuance or incurrence, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) as set forth in Section 2.14(e). The provisions of this Section 2.14 do not constitute a consent to the incurrence of any Indebtedness by Holdings, the US Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) If on any date Holdings, the US Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, no later than five (5) Business Days after the date of receipt by Holdings, the US Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of such Net Cash Proceeds, an amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) as set forth in Section 2.14(e); provided that (i) notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans (together with accrued interest thereon), (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.14 do not constitute a consent to the consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 6.5 and (iii) if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the US Borrower is required to, or required to offer to, repurchase or redeem or repay or prepay Permitted Term Loan

Refinancing Indebtedness that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with proceeds of such Asset Sale or Recovery Event (such Permitted Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness required to be offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the US Borrower may apply such Net Cash Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided, that the portion of such net proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such net proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such net proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the repurchase or repayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of the prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) shall be reduced accordingly; provided, further, that to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased or repaid with such net proceeds, the declined amount of such net proceeds shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (to the extent such net proceeds would otherwise have been required to be so applied if such Other Applicable Indebtedness was not then outstanding). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Foreign Asset Sale, the US Borrower may elect to reduce the amount of such prepayment by the amount of any Restricted Asset Sale Proceeds included in such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, that the US Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to repatriate any amounts constituting Restricted Asset Sale Proceeds pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof as promptly as practicable following the date of such prepayment. To the extent the US Borrower does not repatriate any such Restricted Asset Sale Proceeds, the US Borrower shall, to the extent applicable, prepay Term Loans and/or cause Indebtedness of the Foreign Subsidiary that generated the Restricted Asset Sale Proceeds to be permanently prepaid in an aggregate amount equal to the corresponding Restricted Asset Sale Payment Amount on or prior to the first anniversary of the original prepayment date for the related Foreign Asset Sale.

(c) If, for any Excess Cash Flow Period, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, then, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, the US Borrower shall apply an amount equal to (i) the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) the Optional Prepayment Amount (if any) for such Excess Cash Flow Period to the prepayment of the Term Loans (together with accrued interest thereon), as set forth in Section 2.14(e). Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which the financial statements of the US Borrower referred to in Section 5.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is to be made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the US Borrower may elect to reduce the amount of such prepayment by an amount equal to the ECF Percentage of Restricted ECF, if any, for such Excess Cash Flow; provided, that the US Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to repatriate such applicable percentage of amounts constituting Restricted ECF pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof as promptly as practicable following the Excess Cash Flow Application Date (and upon any such repatriation, shall prepay the Term Loans by the amount thereof in accordance with this Section 2.14(c)). To the extent the US Borrower does not repatriate the applicable percentage of Restricted ECF, the US Borrower shall, to the extent applicable, prepay Term Loans and/or cause Indebtedness of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to be permanently prepaid in an aggregate amount equal to the corresponding Restricted ECF Payment Amount for the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period on or prior to the first anniversary

of the date that the original payment was required to have been made pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.14(c).

(d)The US Borrower shall apply, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans and the Net Cash Proceeds of any Permitted Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness (that is incurred to refinance Term Loans) to the repayment of Term Loans to be repaid from such Net Cash Proceeds on the date such Net Cash Proceeds are received. Any such prepayment of Term Loans of a Class shall be paid ratably to the holders of such Class and shall be applied to the remaining scheduled amortization installments of the Term Loans of such Class in the order specified in Section 2.12(b)(ii).

(e)Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be applied first to reduce outstanding ABR Loans of the applicable Class. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay Eurocurrency Loans of such Class; provided, however, that if any Lenders exercise the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of any Class of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.14(f), then such mandatory prepayment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Term Loans of the accepting Lenders of such Class being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans; provided, further, that the US Borrower may elect (except in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.14(d)) that the remainder of such prepayments not applied to prepay ABR Loans be deposited in a collateral account pledged to the Administrative Agent to secure the Obligations and applied thereafter to prepay the Eurocurrency Loans on the last day of the next expiring Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans; provided that (A) interest shall continue to accrue thereon at the rate otherwise applicable under this Agreement to the Eurocurrency Loan in respect of which such deposit was made, until such amounts are applied to prepay such Eurocurrency Loan, and (B) (x) at any time while a Specified Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and (y) at any time while a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written direction from the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, apply any or all of such amounts to the payment of Eurocurrency Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time a mandatory prepayment of Term Loans is required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.14 there are no Term Loans outstanding, the mandatory prepayment amounts shall be applied to prepay outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings; provided that no corresponding permanent reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments will be required.

(f)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.14 to the contrary, any Term Loan Lender (and, to the extent provided in the applicable Permitted Amendment, any other Term Loan Lender) may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the required prepayment date, to decline all of any mandatory prepayment of its Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.14, in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Term Loans but was so declined may be retained by the US Borrower.

(g)If for any reason, (i) the Total US Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the sum of the total US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect (including after giving effect to any reduction in the US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.10), the US Borrower shall immediately prepay US Tranche Revolving Credit Loans and/or cash collateralize the US Tranche Letters of Credit (in accordance with Section 2.7(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess or (ii) the sum of the Total Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the sum of the total Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect (including after giving effect to any reduction in the Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.10), the applicable Borrower shall immediately prepay Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Loans and/or cash collateralize the Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit (in accordance with Section 2.7(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

2.15Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate (in the case of Borrowings denominated in US Dollars) or CDOR Rate (in the case of Borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars) for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)Following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Specified Default, the applicable Borrower shall pay interest on overdue amounts hereunder at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of, or interest on, any Loan, 2.0% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.15 or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2.0% plus the rate applicable to ABR Term Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.15.

(d)Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.15 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Credit Loan that is not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e)All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate that is determined by reference to the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate or CDOR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), and to the extent in compliance with Section 2.23, 2.24 or 2.25, as applicable, Loans made pursuant to an Incremental Facility or Replacement Facility or extended in connection with an Extension Offer shall bear interest at the rate set forth in the applicable Permitted Amendment to the extent a different interest rate is specified therein.

2.16Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(a)the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing, in the case of Borrowing Request for a Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing and in the case of a Borrowing Request for a Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing accruing interest at a rate per annum from time to time determined by the Administrative Agent with the approval of the Majority Facility Lenders of the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility to be the average rate charged to borrowers of similar credit quality as the Borrowers in Canadian Dollars plus the Applicable Margin for ABR Borrowings in effect at such time (the “Canadian Base Rate”).

2.17Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i)subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any Taxes (excluding (A) Indemnified Taxes covered under Section 2.19, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender (or in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be) of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or in the case of clause (i) above, any Loan) (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided, in each case, that the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Issuing Bank has requested such payments from similarly situated borrowers.

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

(c)A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the matters giving rise to a claim under this Section 2.17 by such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.17 shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the US Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.17 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the applicable Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e)If any Lender reasonably determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate or CDOR Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower may at its option revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans and shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars) or to Loans accruing interest at the Canadian Base Rate (in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

2.18Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is conditional as contemplated by Section 2.12(c) and such condition is not satisfied) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21(c), then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall consist of an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate (determined without regard to the proviso in the definition thereof) or the CDOR Rate (determined without regard to the

last proviso in the definition thereof), in each case that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits of a comparable amount and in the same currency and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error. Absent manifest error in the determination of such amount, the applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.

2.19Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Agreement Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by Requirement of Tax Law. If the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by Requirement of Tax Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) in the case of deduction for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes the sum payable shall be increased by the applicable Loan Agreement Party as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.19(a)) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make or cause to be made such deductions and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay or cause to be paid the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirement of Tax Law.

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

(c)The US Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the US Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.19) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such claim and the calculation of the amount of any such payment or liability shall be delivered to the US Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error.

(d)The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Canadian Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted

on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.19) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such claim and the calculation of the amount of any such payment or liability shall be delivered to the US Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error.

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

(f)(i) Each Lender or Issuing Bank other than a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender or Issuing Bank is exempt from United States Federal withholding Tax. Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent (i) two properly completed and duly executed originals of the applicable U.S. IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, (ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from United States Federal withholding Tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit X-0, X-0, X-0 xx X-0, as applicable, and two properly completed and duly executed originals of the applicable IRS Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, or (iii) any other form prescribed by any applicable requirements of United States Federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by any applicable requirements of law to permit the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the deduction required to be made, in each case, certifying such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding Tax with respect to payments of interest to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender or Issuing Bank on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly deliver such forms upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender or Issuing Bank. Each Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the US Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose). Any Lender or Issuing Bank, if requested by the Administrative Agent or a Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or such Borrower as will enable the Administrative Agent or such Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting

requirements or entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

(ii)If a payment made to a Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to United States Federal withholding Tax imposed pursuant to FATCA if such Lender or Issuing Bank fails to comply with any requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver to the applicable Withholding Agent, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the applicable Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by Requirement of Tax Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the applicable Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender or Issuing Bank has or has not complied with such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. To the extent that the relevant documentation provided pursuant to this paragraph is rendered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect as a result of changes in circumstances with respect to the status of a Lender or Issuing Bank, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall, to the extent permitted by Requirement of Tax Law, deliver to the applicable Withholding Agent revised and/or updated documentation sufficient for the applicable Withholding Agent to confirm as to whether such Lender or Issuing Bank has complied with their respective obligations under FATCA. Solely for purposes of this clause (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.19, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.19 that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(h)Each Lender or Issuing Bank shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. Should the applicable Withholding Agent not deduct or withhold any Taxes imposed by FATCA from a payment under any Loan Document based on the documentation provided by a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.19(f)(ii), any amounts subsequently determined by a Governmental Authority to be subject to United States Federal withholding Tax imposed pursuant to FATCA (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) shall be indemnified by such Lender or Issuing Bank. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Bank by the Withholding Agent shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error.

(i)If the Administrative Agent, or any Lender or Issuing Bank, determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Agreement Party or with respect to which a Loan Agreement Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall

pay over such refund to the applicable Loan Agreement Party within a reasonable period (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Agreement Party under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Agreement Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Agreement Party pursuant to this Section 2.19(i) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.19(i) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other Person.

(j)For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the date of this Agreement, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

2.20Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m. New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18, 2.19, 9.3 or pursuant to the Dutch Auction Procedures shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document of principal or interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan) shall be made in the currency of such Loan and, except as otherwise set forth in any Loan Document, all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in US Dollars. Any Term Loans paid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including Sections 2.21(b) or (c), 2.23, 2.24, 2.25 and 9.4(g) or pursuant to the terms of any Permitted Amendment) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant permitted under this Agreement. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of an amount denominated in Canadian Dollars).

(e)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.7(d) or (e), 2.8(b), 2.20(d) or 8.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

2.21Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.17, or if a Borrower is required to pay any other amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.19, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.19, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank. The applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)If any Lender (or any Participant in the Loans held by such Lender) requests compensation under Section 2.17, or if a Borrower is required to pay any other amount to any Lender (or its Participant) or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the applicable Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, either (i) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the applicable Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, to the extent consent for an Assignment and Assumption would be required by such Person pursuant to Section 9.4, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.17 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.19, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation, or to have its Commitments terminated and its obligations hereunder repaid, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Borrower

to require such assignment and delegation, or to terminate such Commitments and repay such obligations, cease to apply.

(c)If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.2 requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all affected Lenders or all Lenders or all affected Lenders of a certain Class or Classes or with respect to a certain Class or Classes of the Loans and with respect to which the Required Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to the applicable Class or Classes shall have granted their consent, then the applicable Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to either (i) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign all or the affected portion of its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreements, Cash Management Obligations, contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations, in each case, which are not due and payable) of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment (including any amount owed pursuant to Section 2.12(e), if applicable), (B) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (C) in connection with any such assignment the Borrowers, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.4 (including obtaining the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank if so required thereunder); provided that, if the required Assignment and Assumption is not executed and delivered by such Non-Consenting Lender, such Non-Consenting Lender will be unconditionally and irrevocably deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption as of the date such Non-Consenting Lender receives payment in full of the Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreements, Cash Management Obligations, contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations, in each case, which are not due and payable) of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender, (D) the replacement Lender shall pay any processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.4(b)(ii)(C), if applicable, in accordance with the terms of such Section and (E) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination, or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, terminate the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Non-Consenting Lender as of such termination date; provided that such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of the applicable waiver or amendment of the applicable Loan Document or Loan Documents.

2.22Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a);

(b)the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.2); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby if such amendment, waiver or modification would adversely affect such Defaulting Lender compared to other similarly affected Lenders; provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or modification that would require the consent of a Defaulting Lender under clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (v) of the first proviso of Section 9.2(b) may be made without the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c)if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the US Revolving Credit Facility or Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, as applicable, but only to the extent (A) (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ US Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to US Tranche Letters of Credit does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments and (B) (1) the US Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure of each non-Defaulting Lender after giving effect to such reallocation does not exceed the US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender and (2) the Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure of each non-Defaulting Lender after giving effect to such reallocation does not exceed the Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender;

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, each Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of each applicable Issuing Bank only such Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7 for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)if a Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized except to the extent of such fees that became due and payable by such Borrower prior to the date such Lender became a Defaulting Lender (it being understood that any cash collateral provided pursuant to this Section 2.22(c) shall be released promptly following the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender);

(iv)if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13(a) and Section 2.13(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ US Tranche Percentages and Canadian Tranche Percentages, as applicable;

(v)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 2.13(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to each applicable Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;

(d)so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Section 2.22(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and

(e)if a Defaulting Lender has Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments or US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitments, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Canadian Tranche Letters of Credit or US Tranche Letters of Credit, as applicable, the Canadian Tranche Percentage or the US Tranche Percentage, as applicable, of each non-Defaulting Lender with a Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment or US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, shall be computed without giving effect to the Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment or US Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, of the Defaulting Lender.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, each Borrower and each Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders, if any, as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, and such Lender shall then cease to be a Defaulting Lender with respect to subsequent periods unless such Lender shall thereafter become a Defaulting Lender.

2.23Incremental Facilities. (a) At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the US Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders), request to incur additional Term Loans or add one or more additional tranches of term loans (the “Other Term Loans” and, together with any additional Term Loans incurred pursuant to this Section 2.23, “Incremental Term Loans”) or one or more increases in

the Revolving Credit Commitments (“Incremental Revolving Commitments”; each such increase or tranche, an “Incremental Facility”); provided that at the time of each such request and upon the effectiveness of each Incremental Facility Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, without the consent of the Required Lenders, the aggregate amount of the Incremental Facilities shall not exceed, at any time, the greater of (x) the sum of (1) $100,000,000 plus (2) (A) the amount of all optional prepayments of Term Loan Borrowings in accordance with Section 2.12(a) and (B) the amount of all optional prepayments of Revolving Credit Borrowings in accordance with Section 2.12(a) to the extent such prepayment is accompanied by a permanent reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with Section 2.10(b), in each case, so long as such prepayment was not funded with the proceeds of any long-term Indebtedness (other than incurred under revolving credit facilities) minus (3) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Facilities established prior to such time pursuant to this Section 2.23 (the amount available under this clause (x), the “Dollar Basket”) and (y) such other amount (each such Incremental Facility incurred under this clause (y), a “Ratio-Based Incremental Facility”) so long as, upon the effectiveness of each Incremental Facility Amendment, the First Lien Leverage Ratio, determined on a Pro Forma Basis (after giving effect to any Pro Forma Transaction, including any acquisition consummated with the proceeds of such Ratio-Based Incremental Facility), in each case, as if such Ratio-Based Incremental Facility (and Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to the full amount of any such Incremental Revolving Commitments) had been outstanding on the last day of such Relevant Reference Period shall not exceed 3.50:1.00; provided that (i) the First Lien Leverage Ratio shall be determined without netting the proceeds from the incurrence of such Incremental Facility (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that such proceeds, to the extent constituting cash or Cash Equivalents, may be netted for subsequent determinations of the First Lien Leverage Ratio) and (ii) any Indebtedness incurred under any Incremental Facility pursuant to the Dollar Basket and concurrently with such Ratio-Based Incremental Facility shall not be included for purposes of determining the First Lien Leverage Ratio in connection with the incurrence of such Ratio-Based Incremental Facility. Unless elected otherwise by the US borrower, any Incremental Facility and Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be deemed to have been incurred first, in reliance of clause (y) above to the extent thereof, second, in reliance on clause (x)(2) above to the extent thereof and third, in reliance on clause (x)(1) above to the extent thereof. All Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 in the case of Incremental Term Loans or $5,000,000 in the case of Incremental Revolving Commitments (or in each case such lesser minimum amount reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent); provided that such amount may be less than the applicable minimum amount if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the Dollar Basket or in respect of Ratio-Based Incremental Facilities.

(b)Any Incremental Term Loans in the form of Other Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the other outstanding Term Loans as set forth in the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment (which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary that is not also a Guarantor, (ii) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated substantially the same as (or, to the extent set forth in the relevant Incremental Facility

Amendment, less favorably than) the other outstanding Term Loans and (iii) other than amortization, maturity date, conditions precedent and pricing (including interest rate, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums) (as set forth in the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment), shall have the same terms as the Term Loans or such terms as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that, to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of the Lenders providing such Other Term Loans, such financial maintenance covenant shall be deemed reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and no further consent from the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders of other outstanding Term Loans shall be required so long as such financial maintenance covenant (1) is also added for the benefit of all then outstanding Term Loans or (2) only becomes applicable after the Latest Maturity Date of the then outstanding Term Loans); provided that (A) in respect of any Other Term Loans that are incurred within eighteen (18) months of the Closing Date, if the effective yield (which, for such purpose only, shall be deemed to take account of interest rate margin and any then applicable benchmark floors, recurring fees and all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (1) the weighted average life of such Other Term Loans and (2) four (4) years) payable to all Lenders providing such Other Term Loans (but excluding any bona fide arrangement, underwriting, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Lenders (in their capacity as such) providing such Other Term Loans)) on such Other Term Loans determined as of the initial funding date for such Other Term Loans exceeds the effective yield (determined on same basis as the preceding parenthetical) on the Term Loans or any then existing Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin relating to the Term Loans or such then existing Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, shall be adjusted and/or the US Borrower will pay additional fees to Lenders holding Term Loans or such then existing Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, in order that such effective yield on such Other Term Loans shall not exceed such effective yield on the Term Loans or such then existing Incremental Term Loans by more than 0.50%; provided that if such adjustment is required due to the application of a higher interest rate benchmark floor on such Other Term Loans, such adjustment shall be effected solely through an increase in the interest rate benchmark floor of the Term Loans or such then-existing Incremental Term Loans, as applicable (or if no interest rate benchmark floor applies to the Term Loans or such then-existing Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, at such time, an interest rate benchmark floor shall be added), (B) any Other Term Loans shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of the then remaining Term Loans or then existing Incremental Term Loans and (C) any Other Term Loans shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the later of the then remaining Term Loans or then existing Incremental Term Loans, as applicable. Any Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be on terms identical to the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility proposed to be increased thereby and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be deemed a Revolving Credit Commitment of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment (it being understood that an Incremental Facility establishing Incremental Revolving Commitments will not create a separate Revolving Credit Facility and such Incremental Revolving Commitments be deemed a part of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility); provided that the Applicable Margin and the Revolving Credit Facility Fee Rate, in each case applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of such Revolving Credit Facility, may be increased, without the consent of any Lender, in connection with the incurrence of any Incremental Revolving Commitment such that the Applicable Margin and the

Revolving Credit Facility Fee Rate of such Revolving Credit Commitments are identical to those of the Incremental Revolving Commitments. Any Incremental Term Loans that are not Other Term Loans shall be on terms identical to the Term Loans and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed a Term Loan pursuant to the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment.

(c)Each notice from any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments; provided that any notice for Incremental Term Loans shall specify whether the Incremental Term Loans will be incurred in the form of additional Term Loans or Other Term Loans. Any Additional Lenders that elect to extend Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be reasonably satisfactory to the US Borrower and to the extent such Incremental Revolving Commitments are in respect of the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, the Canadian Borrower, and (unless such Additional Lender is already a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) the Administrative Agent and, with respect to any Incremental Revolving Commitment, each Issuing Bank (in each case, any approval thereof not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment. Each Incremental Facility shall become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the US Borrower and, to the extent relating to the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, the Canadian Borrower, such Additional Lender or Additional Lenders and the Administrative Agent. No Incremental Facility Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders or any other Person other than the applicable Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders with respect to such Incremental Facility Amendment. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments, unless it so agrees. Commitments in respect of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments shall become Commitments under this Agreement. An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders or any other Person, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.23 (including to provide for class voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders on terms comparable to the provisions of Section 9.2(b)). The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders party thereto, be subject to (i) the payment in full of all fees and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of such Incremental Facility, to the extent invoiced prior to such date, and (ii) the satisfaction or waiver on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (it being understood that all references to the date of making any extension of credit in Section 4.2 shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Facility Closing Date, except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided that, in connection with the incurrence of any Acquisition-Related Incremental Financing, then (x) the only representations and warranties that will be required to be true and correct in all material respects as of the applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date shall be (A) the Specified Representations and (B) such of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the applicable acquired company or business (or the seller thereof) in the applicable acquisition agreement as are material

to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that Holdings or the US Borrower (or any Subsidiary of Holdings or the US Borrower) has the right to terminate the obligations of Holdings, the US Borrower or such Subsidiary under such acquisition agreement or not consummate such acquisition as a result of the inaccuracy of such representations or warranties in such acquisition agreement) and (y) to the extent agreed to by the persons providing such Incremental Facilities, the only Defaults or Events of Default, the absence of which shall be required to be satisfied shall be the Specified Defaults. To the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the effectiveness of an Incremental Facility Amendment may be conditioned on the Administrative Agent’s receipt of customary legal opinions with respect thereto, board resolutions and officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.1, with respect to the US Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries. Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to this Section 2.23, each Revolving Credit Lender under such Revolving Credit Facility immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitment (each an “Incremental Revolving Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Incremental Revolving Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Revolving Credit Lender in such Revolving Credit Facility (including each such Incremental Revolving Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders in such Revolving Credit Facility represented by such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment thereunder. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the US Borrower, take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any Incremental Revolving Commitment, the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility. The foregoing may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, following consultation with the US Borrower, (A) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Credit Borrowing, (B) by causing non-increasing Revolving Credit Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to new or increasing Revolving Credit Lenders, (C) by a combination of the foregoing or (D) by any other means agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the US Borrower, and any such prepayment or assignment shall be subject to Section 2.18 but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.3 required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans.

(d)At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the US Borrower may, subject to providing notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders), issue one or more series of Incremental Equivalent Debt in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, as of the date of and after giving effect to the issuance of any such Incremental Equivalent Debt, the aggregate amount of Incremental Facilities then permitted to be incurred under Section 2.23(a); provided that, for purposes of determining the amount available under Section 2.23(a), all Incremental Equivalent Debt will be deemed to constitute Consolidated First Lien Debt irrespective of whether the terms of the notes or loans constituting such Incremental Equivalent Debt satisfy the requirements in the definition thereof; provided, further, that the incurrence of any Incremental Equivalent Debt shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the aggregate amount of Incremental Facilities permitted to be incurred under Section 2.23(a); provided, further, that (A) in respect of any Incremental Equivalent Debt consisting of term loans which are secured by any Collateral on a pari passu with the Obligations that are incurred within eighteen (18) months of the Closing Date, if the effective yield (which, for such purpose only, shall be deemed to take account of interest rate margin and any then applicable benchmark floors, recurring fees and all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (1) the weighted average life of such Incremental Equivalent Debt and (2) four (4) years) payable to all lenders providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt (but excluding any bona fide arrangement, underwriting, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders (in their capacity as such) providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt)) on such Incremental Equivalent Debt determined as of the initial funding date for such Incremental Equivalent Debt exceeds the effective yield (determined on same basis as the preceding parenthetical) on the Term Loans or any then existing Incremental Term Loans which are secured by any Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Obligations, as applicable, immediately prior to the incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin relating to the Term Loans or such then existing Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, shall be adjusted and/or the US Borrower will pay additional fees to Lenders holding Term Loans or such then existing Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, in order that such effective yield on such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not exceed such effective yield on the Term Loans or such then existing Incremental Term Loans by more than 0.50%; provided that if such adjustment is required due to the application of a higher interest rate benchmark floor on such Incremental Equivalent Debt, such adjustment shall be effected solely through an increase in the interest rate benchmark floor of the Term Loans or such then-existing Incremental Term Loans, as applicable (or if no interest rate benchmark floor applies to the Term Loans or such then-existing Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, at such time, an interest rate benchmark floor shall be added). As a condition precedent to the issuance of any Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to this Section 2.23, (i) the US Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the US Borrower dated as of the date of issuance of the Incremental Equivalent Debt signed by a Responsible Officer of the US Borrower, certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the US Borrower approving or consenting to the execution and delivery of the applicable financing documentation in respect of such Incremental Equivalent Debt and the issuance of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, and certifying that the conditions precedent set forth in the following subclauses (ii) through (vii) have been satisfied, (ii) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and shall not have guarantees from any Subsidiary that is not also a Guarantor and if secured, shall not be secured by any assets not constituting Collateral, (iii) such

100

Incremental Equivalent Debt shall have a final maturity no earlier than the date that is 91 days after the Latest Maturity Date at the time of issuance, (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall (A) not be shorter than 91 days plus the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any remaining Term Loans, or (B) not be subject to any amortization prior to the final maturity thereof, or be subject to any mandatory redemption or prepayment provisions or rights (except customary asset sale or change of control provisions), (v) no Default or Event of Default (or, in the case of any Acquisition-Related Incremental Financing, and to the extent agreed to by the persons providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt, no Specified Default) shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the issuance of such Incremental Equivalent Debt and (vi) all fees and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or other financial institutions in respect of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, to the extent invoiced prior to such date, shall have been paid in full.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.23, with respect to any Acquisition-Related Incremental Financing, for purposes of determining (i) compliance with any financial ratio (other than for purposes of Section 6.1) or (ii) availability under baskets (including baskets measured as a percentage of Total Assets), in each case, in connection with such or any subsequent Permitted Acquisition, Investment or other transaction, Holdings, the US Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall have the option of making any such determinations as of the date the definitive agreement for the transaction related to such Acquisition-Related Incremental Financing is signed (and, until the date on which such Acquisition-Related Incremental Financing is consummated or the definitive agreement for the underlying Permitted Acquisition or Investment is terminated, any such financial ratio or basket shall be calculated as if the acquisition or investment, and other Pro Forma Transactions in connection therewith were consummated on such date).

2.24Replacement Facilities. (a) At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the US Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request to replace all or a portion of the Term Loans under any Facility with one or more additional tranches of term loans under this Agreement (the “Replacement Term Loans”) or replace all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility with a new revolving credit facility under this Agreement (the “Replacement Revolving Credit Facility”; each such replacement facility, a “Replacement Facility”); provided that at the time of each such request and upon the effectiveness of each Replacement Facility Amendment no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom. Each tranche of Replacement Term Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (or such lesser minimum amount reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent) and shall not exceed the principal amount of the Term Loans being replaced (plus the amount of fees, expenses and original issue discount incurred in connection with such Replacement Term Loans). The amount of each Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall not exceed the amount of the Revolving Credit Facilities being replaced (plus the amount of fees, expenses, original issue discount, and upfront fees incurred in connection with such Replacement Revolving Credit Facility). The Net Cash Proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans shall be applied only to prepay the Term Loans of the Class of Term Loans that such Replacement Term Loans are replacing.

101

(b)Any Replacement Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the other Term Loans pursuant to the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment (which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and (ii) other than voluntary prepayment, maturity date, conditions precedent and pricing (including interest rate, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums) (as set forth in the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment) shall have the same terms as (or, to the extent set forth in the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment, terms, when taken as a whole, not materially more favorable (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) to the lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than the terms applicable to) the Term Loans being replaced (except with respect to terms that (A) are also added for benefit of all of the then outstanding Term Loans or (B) are only applicable after the Latest Maturity Date of the then outstanding Term Loans at the time of such incurrence of such Replacement Term Loans); provided that (A) any Replacement Term Loans shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the final scheduled maturity date of the Term Loans being replaced, (B) any Replacement Term Loans shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then remaining Term Loans under the applicable Class, (C) principal of and interest on any Term Loans being replaced with Replacement Term Loans shall be paid in full on the Replacement Facility Closing Date for the applicable Replacement Term Loans and (D) the Term Loans of each Lender under the replaced Class shall be prepaid ratably. The principal of and interest on any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans under any replaced Revolving Credit Facility, together with all fees owed by the US Borrower under such Revolving Credit Facility, shall be paid in full and all outstanding Letters of Credit will be replaced, cash collateralized or continued on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders under such Revolving Credit Facility, in each case on the Replacement Facility Closing Date for such Facility. Any Replacement Revolving Credit Facility (x) shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the final scheduled maturity date of the replaced Revolving Credit Facility and (y) shall be on the terms and pursuant to the documentation applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments under such replaced Revolving Credit Facility (other than maturity date, conditions precedent and pricing (including interest rate, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums)) or on such other terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the US Borrower, as set forth in the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment. The obligations under any Replacement Facility shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than a Guarantor, and, if secured, the obligations under any Replacement Facility shall not be secured by a Lien on any Property other than Property that constitutes Collateral. In addition, the terms and conditions applicable to any Replacement Facility may provide for additional or different covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the US Borrower and the Lenders under such Replacement Facility and applicable only during periods after the then Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Replacement Facility is issued, incurred or obtained or the date on which all non-refinanced Obligations (excluding Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreements, Cash Management Obligations and contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations, in each case, which are not then due and payable) are paid in full.

102

(c)Each notice from the US Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Replacement Term Loans and/or Replacement Revolving Credit Facility. Any Additional Lender that elects to extend Replacement Term Loans or commitments under a Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall be reasonably satisfactory to the US Borrower and (unless such Additional Lender is already a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) the Administrative Agent, and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to a Replacement Facility Amendment. Each Replacement Facility shall become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Replacement Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the US Borrower, such Additional Lender or Additional Lenders and the Administrative Agent. No Replacement Facility Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders or any other Person other than the US Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders with respect to such Replacement Facility Amendment. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Replacement Term Loans or commitment for any Replacement Revolving Credit Facility, unless it so agrees. Commitments in respect of any Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall become Commitments under this Agreement. A Replacement Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders or any other Person, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the US Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24 (including to provide for class voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders on terms comparable to the provisions of Section 9.2(b)). The effectiveness of any Replacement Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders party thereto, be subject to the satisfaction or waiver on the date thereof (each, a “Replacement Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (it being understood that all references to the date of making any extension of credit in Section 4.2 shall be deemed to refer to the Replacement Facility Closing Date). The proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans will be used solely to repay the replaced Facility (or replaced portion thereof). To the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the effectiveness of a Replacement Facility Amendment may be conditioned on the Administrative Agent’s receipt of customary legal opinions with respect thereto, board resolutions and officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.1, with respect to the applicable Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries. No Replacement Revolving Credit Facility may be implemented unless such Facility has provisions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility being replaced. Only one US Revolving Credit Facility and one Canadian Revolving Credit Facility shall be in effect at any time (provided that multiple tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments may be outstanding thereunder on the terms applicable thereto pursuant to this Agreement and any applicable Permitted Amendments), and any Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall replace the US Revolving Credit Facility, the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, or both, as applicable, under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.24.

103

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, at any time and from time to time following the establishment of a Class of Replacement Term Loans or Commitments under a Replacement Revolving Credit Facility (“Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments”), the US Borrower may offer any Lender of a Term Loan Facility or then-existing Revolving Credit Facility that has previously been subject to a Replacement Facility Amendment (without being required to make the same offer to any or all other Lenders) who had not elected to participate in such Replacement Facility Amendment on the applicable Replacement Facility Closing Date the right to convert all or any portion of its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments into such Class of Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, provided that (i) such offer and any related acceptance shall be in accordance with such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably requested by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent; (ii) such additional Replacement Term Loans and additional Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) shall be on identical terms (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with the relevant Lenders) with the existing Replacement Term Loans and Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, and (y) with respect to any additional Replacement Term Loans, shall result in proportionate increases to the scheduled amortization payments otherwise owing with respect to any such Replacement Term Loans, (iii) any Lender which elects to participate in a Replacement Facility pursuant to this clause (d) shall enter into a joinder agreement to the respective Replacement Facility Amendment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and executed by such Lender, the Administrative Agent, the US Borrower and the other Loan Parties (and to the extent of any Replacement Facility with respect to the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, the Canadian Borrower) and (iv) any such additional Replacement Term Loans and additional Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $1,000,000 (or, in the case of an outstanding Class with an entire outstanding principal amount of existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments less than a $1,000,000 that is to be refinanced in full, such outstanding principal amount or commitments), unless each of the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Loans made as provided above shall be treated as part of the Class to which such Loans are added, and shall not constitute a new Class of Replacement Term Loans or a new tranche of Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments.

2.25Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments.(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the US Borrower to all Lenders of Term Loans with a like maturity date or Revolving Credit Commitments with a like maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments with a like maturity date, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the US Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the

104

amortization schedule in respect of such Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving Credit Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were extended, and any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments from which they were extended), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) except as to pricing (including interest rates, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums), conditions precedent and maturity (which shall be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment (an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, (2) the permanent repayment of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to, and termination of, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, except that the applicable Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class, (3) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans and (4) at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than two different maturity dates, (ii) (1) except as to pricing (including interest rates, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums), amortization, maturity, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (ii)(2), (ii)(3) and (iii), be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Loan Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loans (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms, or on terms that are, when taken as a whole, not materially more favorable (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) to the Extending Term Lenders than the terms and conditions, taken as a whole, applicable to, the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except with respect to terms that (A) are also added for benefit of all of the then outstanding Term Loans or (B) are only applicable after the Latest Maturity Date of the then outstanding Term Loans at the time of such incurrence of such Extended Term Loans), (2) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no less than 91 days longer than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class extended thereby, (3) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments of Term Loans hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer (provided that if the applicable Extending Term Lenders have the ability to decline mandatory prepayments, any such mandatory prepayment that is not accepted by the applicable Extending Term

105

Lenders shall be applied, subject to the right of any applicable Lender to decline mandatory prepayments (if any), to the non-extended Term Loans of the Class being extended), (iii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Loan Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the US Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, as the case may be, of such Term Loan Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Loan Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer and (iv) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing.

(b)With respect to all Extensions consummated by the US Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.25, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement and (ii) each Extension Offer shall specify the minimum amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments to be tendered. The transactions contemplated by this Section 2.25 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) shall not require the consent of any Lender or any other Person (other than as set forth in clause (c) below), and the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.12 and 2.20) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.25 shall not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.25.

(c)The consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension. No consent of any Lender or any other Person shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of the US Borrower (and the Canadian Borrower if such Extension is in respect of the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility) and each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the consent of the Issuing Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (an “Extension Amendment”) with the applicable Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.25. In addition, if so provided in such amendment and with the consent of the applicable Issuing Banks, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be re-allocated from Lenders holding Revolving

106

Credit Commitments to Lenders holding Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the terms of such amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense), within ninety (90) days of the applicable Extension Amendment (or such later date as may be reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent), amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).

(d)In connection with any Extension, the US Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.25.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, at any time and from time to time following the establishment of a Class of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the US Borrower may offer any Lender of a Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility that had been subject to an Extension Amendment (without being required to make the same offer to any or all other Lenders) who had not elected to participate in such Extension Amendment the right to convert all or any portion of its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments into such Class of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, provided that (i) such offer and any related acceptance shall be in accordance with such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably requested by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent; (ii) such additional Extended Term Loans and additional Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) shall be on identical terms (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with the relevant Lenders) with the existing Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, and (y) with respect to any additional Extended Term Loans shall result in proportionate increases to the scheduled amortization payments otherwise owing with respect to any such Extended Term Loans, (iii) any Lender which elects to participate in an Extension Facility pursuant to this clause (e) shall enter into a joinder agreement to the respective Extension Amendment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and executed by such Lender, the Administrative Agent, the US Borrower and the other Loan Parties (and to the extent of any Extension Amendment with respect to the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, the Canadian Borrower) and (iv) any such additional Extended Term Loans and additional Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $1,000,000 (or, in the case of an outstanding Class with an entire outstanding principal amount of existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments less than a $1,000,000 that is to be refinanced in full, such outstanding principal amount or commitments), unless each of the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise

107

consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Loans made as provided above shall be treated as part of the Class to which such Loans are added, and shall not constitute a new Class of a new Extended Term Loans or new Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.

If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in such cash collateral account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the applicable Secured Parties or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the applicable Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other

155

Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the applicable Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto).

8.4Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings or the US Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all affected Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all affected Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

8.5Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, Holdings or the US Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all affected Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

8.6Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Agreement Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Agreement Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Agreement Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on

157

such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Agreement Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Agreement Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Agreement Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys‑in‑fact or Affiliates.

8.7Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and its officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by Holdings or the Borrowers and without limiting any obligation of Holdings or the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 8.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs and expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

8.8Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Agreement Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

8.9Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the US Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent, then the Required Lenders shall

158

appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject to written approval by the US Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has been appointed as Administrative Agent by the date that is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, subject to written approval by the US Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of Section 8 and of Section 9.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

8.10Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents . No Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

As agreed to among Holdings, the US Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders from time to time, notices and other communications may also be delivered by e-mail to the e-mail address of a representative of the applicable Person provided from time to time by such Person.

Holdings and the US Borrower hereby agree, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to Holdings and the US Borrower, that it will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Section 5, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (a) is or relates to a Borrowing Request, a notice pursuant to Section 2.9, or a notice requesting the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.7, (b) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (c) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (d) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such nonexcluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail

160

address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, Holdings and the US Borrower agree, and agree to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

Holdings and the US Borrower hereby acknowledge that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks materials and/or information provided by, or on behalf of, the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that wish to receive information and documentation that is (x) of a type that would be publicly available if Holdings and its Subsidiaries were public reporting companies or (y) does not contain MNPI (collectively, “Public Lender Information”)) (each, a “Public Lender”). Holdings and the Borrowers hereby agree that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any Private Lender Information (as defined below) (provided that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.12); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor”; and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC” unless the US Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains Private Lender Information: (A) the Loan Documents, (B) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities and (C) all information delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 and Section 5.2(b). “Private Lender Information” means any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information.

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain MNPI.

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

161

LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN AGREEMENT PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

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

9.2Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by Holdings or the Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)Neither this Agreement or any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereunder may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the US Borrower (and solely in respect of any waiver, amendment or modification in respect of the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, the Canadian Borrower) and the Required Lenders or by the US Borrower (and, if applicable, the Canadian Borrower) and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.2 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of Commitments shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender), (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or

162

LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees or premiums payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-Default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of each directly and adversely affected Facility) and (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants or definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (ii)), (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees or premiums payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.2 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of Commitments shall not constitute a postponement of the scheduled date of payment of principal of any Loan or expiration of any Commitment of any Lender), (iv) change Section 2.20(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or change the application of proceeds provision in either Section 6.4 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or the corresponding provision in any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.2 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or grant any consent hereunder, (vi) impose additional restrictions on the ability of any Lender to assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of such Lender, or (vii) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 9.14 or in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement representing all or substantially all of the value of such guarantees, taken as a whole, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided, further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder in a manner adverse to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) amendments, waivers and other modifications may be made to Section 6.1 (and definitions to the extent relating to such Sections) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the amendment, waiver, termination or other modification of a Financial Covenant Event of Default) with only the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders) (unless an Event of Default under Section 7(c) has occurred with respect to the Term Loan Facilities as provided in Section 7(c), in which case this sentence shall cease to apply until such Event of Default with respect to the Term Loan Facilities is no longer continuing) and (ii) amendments, waivers and other modifications to the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights or obligations of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the rights or obligations of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) will require only the prior written consent of Lenders holding the requisite percentage under this Section 9.2(b) of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of such Class (as if such Class were the only Class of Loans and Commitments then outstanding under this Agreement) and the US Borrower (and with respect to any Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, the Canadian Borrower).

163

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.2, the Administrative Agent and the US Borrower, in their sole discretion and without the consent or approval of any other party, may amend, modify or supplement any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to (i) amend, modify or supplement such provision or cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency, and such amendment, modification or supplement shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (provided that, if the Required Lenders make such objection in writing, such amendment, modification or supplement shall not become effective without the consent of the Required Lenders), and (ii) to permit additional affiliates of the US Borrower to guarantee the Obligations and/or provide Collateral therefor. Such amendments shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Lender consent is required to effect any amendment or supplement to any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (i) that is for the purpose of adding the holders of Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt or Permitted Junior Secured Refinancing Debt, Incremental Equivalent Debt or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any of the foregoing (or a Senior Representative with respect thereto) as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms of such First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to such First Lien Intercreditor Agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing; provided that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders) or (ii) that is expressly contemplated by such First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing; provided that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders); provided further, that no such agreement shall directly and adversely amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

(e)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the US Borrower (and, if applicable, the Canadian Borrower) may enter into Incremental Facility Amendments in accordance with Section 2.23, Replacement Facility Amendments in accordance with Section 2.24 and Extension Amendments in accordance with Section 2.25 and joinder agreements with respect thereto in accordance with such sections, and such Incremental Facility Amendments, Replacement Facility Amendments and Extension Amendments and joinder agreements may effect such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the US Borrower, to give effect to the existence and the terms of the Incremental Facility, Replacement Facility or Extension, as applicable, and will be effective to amend the terms of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents (including to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents with the other Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and to include appropriately the Lenders holding such

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.2 or any other Loan Document, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the US Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Requirements of Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

(c)To the extent permitted by all applicable law, none of Holdings, the Borrowers nor any Indemnitee shall assert, and Holdings, the Borrowers and each Indemnitee hereby waives, any claim against Holdings, the Borrowers or any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and, to the extent permitted by all applicable law, Holdings and the Borrowers and each Indemnitee hereby waive, release and agree not to xxx upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor; provided that nothing contained in this paragraph shall limit the obligations of the Borrowers under Section 9.3(b) in respect of any such damages claimed against the Indemnitees by Persons other than Indemnitees.

(d)All amounts due under this Section 9.3 shall be payable not later than thirty days after written demand therefor.

9.4Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6.3, the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.4. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.4) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(A)the US Borrower, provided that no consent of the US Borrower shall be required (i) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (in the case of an assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans, only if such Lender, Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund is a Revolving Credit Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Lender or an Approved Fund in respect of a Revolving Credit Lender, respectively) or a Purchasing Borrower Party or, if a Specified Default has occurred and is

167

continuing, any other Eligible Assignee and (ii) for any assignment during the primary syndication of the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments to Persons identified to the US Borrower prior to the Closing Date; and provided, further, that (x) the US Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the US Borrower shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent not later than the tenth (10^th) Business Day following the date the request for such consent is made and (y) the withholding of consent by the US Borrower to any assignment to any Defaulting Lender shall be deemed reasonable;

(B)solely in respect of any assignment of all or any portion of a Canadian Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment, the Canadian Borrower;

(C)the Administrative Agent; and

(D)each Issuing Bank, provided that the consent of the Issuing Banks shall not be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (y) in the case of any Revolving Credit Loan, $5,000,000 or (y) in the case of any Term Loan, $1,000,000, in each case unless each of the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the US Borrower shall be required if a Specified Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B)each partial assignment with respect to a Class shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Class, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (treating, for purposes of such fee, multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Approved Funds as a single assignment);

168

(D)the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers, the Loan Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws;.

(E)any assignment of any Loans to a Purchasing Borrower Party shall be subject to the requirements of Sections 9.4(g) and (h) and with respect to Dutch Auctions, Section 2.12(f).

(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 9.4, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 9.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.4 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 9.4.

(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its United States offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and, as applicable, stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing Bank and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless such assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment

169

required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.6(c), 2.7(d) or (e), 2.8(b), 2.20(d) or 8.7, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of either Borrower, the Administrative Agent, or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (vii) of the first proviso to Section 9.2(b) that adversely affects the Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.4, the Borrowers agree that, subject to clause (ii) of Section 9.4(c) below, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 (and subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.20(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, 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 Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit 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. The portion of the Participant Register relating to any Participant requesting payment from any Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made available to such Borrower upon reasonable request. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

170

(ii)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the applicable Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with such Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.19 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the applicable Borrower, to comply (and actually complies) with Section 2.19(f) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.19(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

(iii)No participation may be sold to any Purchasing Borrower Party.

(d)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.4 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e)[Reserved].

(f)[Reserved].

(g)Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party in accordance with Section 9.4(b); provided that:

(i) the assigning Lender and the Purchasing Borrower Party purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans, as applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Purchasing Borrower Party Assignment and Assumption in lieu of an Assignment and Assumption;

(ii) such assignment shall be made pursuant to a Dutch Auction open to all Lenders of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis pursuant to the Dutch Auction Procedures set forth in Section 2.12(f) or by way of an open market purchase so long as any offer to purchase for any Term Loans shall be made to all Lenders on a pro rata basis;

(iii) any Term Loans assigned to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be automatically and permanently cancelled upon the effectiveness of such assignment and will thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder;

(iv) immediately after giving effect to any such purchase, no Default or Event of Default shall exist;

171

(v) the applicable Purchasing Borrower Party shall at the time of consummation of any purchase of Term Loans affirm the No MNPI Representation;

(vi) the US Borrower shall not, in any event, use proceeds from Loans made under any Revolving Credit Facility to fund any such assignment; and

(vii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans purchased pursuant to this Section 9.4(g) and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans of such Class shall be reduced pro rata by the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans purchased.

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Purchasing Borrower Party shall have any right to (i) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) attended solely by the Administrative Agent and any Lenders or (ii) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the US Borrower or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to this Agreement).

9.5Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 9.3 and Section 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

9.6Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Existing Lenders Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties

172

hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., “PDF” or “TIFF”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

9.7Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.8Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be required in connection with customary set-offs in connection with Cash Management Obligations and Specified Hedge Agreements), to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (excluding payroll, tax withholding and trust accounts maintained in the ordinary course of business) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the applicable Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the applicable Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.8 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the US Borrower promptly after any such setoff.

9.9Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(b)Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court 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, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.

173

(c)The Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent they may legally and effectively do so, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.9. 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.

(d)Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12 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 which shall in no event be less than commercially reasonable care.

(b)EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING A BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND ALL APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(c)ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY A BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT A BORROWER, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED

175

PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND ALL APPLICABLE LAW.

9.13USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Act hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

9.14Release of Liens and Guarantees; Secured Parties. (a) In the event that any Loan Party conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise Disposes of all or any portion of any of the Capital Stock or other assets of any Loan Party to a Person that is not (and is not required hereunder to become) a Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited under this Agreement, the Liens created by the Loan Documents in respect of such Capital Stock or assets shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Holdings or the US Borrower and at the US Borrower’s expense to further document and evidence such termination and release of Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Capital Stock or assets. In the event that any of the Capital Stock or other assets constituting Collateral has become, or is becoming, an Excluded Asset, then, at the request of Holdings or the US Borrower and at the US Borrower’s expense, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute such documents as may be reasonably requested by Holdings or the US Borrower to terminate and release (or to further document and evidence the termination and release of) the Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Capital Stock or assets.

In the event that any transaction not prohibited under this Agreement the result of which is that a Loan Party would cease to be a Restricted Subsidiary or would become an Excluded Subsidiary, the Guarantee Obligations created by the Loan Documents in respect of such Loan Party (and all security interests granted by such Guarantor under the Loan Documents) shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Holdings or the US Borrower and at the US Borrower’s expense to further document and evidence such termination and release of such security interests and such Loan Party’s Guarantee Obligations in respect of the Obligations (including its Guarantee Obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement). Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Capital Stock, asset or subsidiary of any Loan Party shall no longer be deemed to be made with respect thereto once such Capital Stock or asset or Subsidiary is so conveyed, sold, leased, assigned, transferred or disposed of.

176

(b)Upon the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination or expiration of the Commitments, all Liens created by the Loan Documents shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Holdings or the US Borrower and at the US Borrower’s expense to further document and evidence such termination and release of Liens created by the Loan Documents (including by way of assignment), and the Guarantee Obligations created by the Loan Documents in respect of the Guarantors shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Holdings or the US Borrower and at the US Borrower’s expense to further document and evidence such termination and release of the Guarantors’ Guarantee Obligations in respect of the Obligations (including the Guarantee Obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement).

(c)Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 9.8 or with respect to a Lender’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. In furtherance of the foregoing, no Hedge Agreement the obligations under which constitute Specified Hedge Agreement obligations and no other agreements the obligations under which constitute Cash Management Obligations, in each case will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such Hedge Agreement or such agreement in respect of Cash Management Services shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

9.15No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Issuing Bank each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender Parties”) may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Agreement Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Loan Agreement Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise

177

will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender Parties, on the one hand, and such Loan Agreement Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Loan Agreement Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Loan Agreement Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender Parties have assumed any advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Agreement Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Parties have advised, are currently advising or will advise any Loan Agreement Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Agreement Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) the Lender Parties are acting solely as principals and not as the agents or fiduciaries of any Loan Agreement Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Agreement Party acknowledges and 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 Loan Agreement Party agrees that it will not claim that the Lender Parties have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Agreement Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

9.16Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by all applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by all applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

9.17Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

178

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

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

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

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

9.18Amendment and Restatement. (a) This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement, effective from and after the Closing Date. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of any indebtedness or other obligations owing to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement based on facts or events occurring or existing prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. On the Closing Date, the credit facilities described in the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in their entirety by the credit facilities described herein.

(b)On the Closing Date, (i) all advances and commitments of any Person that is a “Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement which is not a Lender hereunder (each, an “Exiting Lender”) shall be deemed to have been assigned to the Lenders hereunder (including via any fronting arrangement with the Arrangers), and any Person that is a “Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement which is a Lender hereunder (including via any fronting arrangement with the Arrangers) shall be deemed to continue their outstanding advances and commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement as advances and commitments hereunder in their respective Facility, (ii) all advances and commitments of any Person that is a “Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement and is a party to the Existing Lenders Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Existing Lenders Agreement, (iii) the Administrative Agent may make such transfers of funds (all such transfers are deemed in compliance with the Loan Documents and shall supersede any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary) as are necessary in order that the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans, as applicable, are in accordance with the pro rata share of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Commitments, as applicable, of each of the Lenders hereunder and (iv) there shall have been paid in cash in full all principal owed to the Exiting Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement, and all accrued but unpaid interest, fees and other amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and any lender under the Existing Credit Agreement.

(c)Each Loan Party (i) agrees that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not limit or diminish the obligations of such Person under, or release such Person from any obligations under, any Security Document to which it is a party, (ii) confirms and reaffirms its obligations under each Security Document to which it is a party and (iii) agrees that each Security Document to which it is a party (to the extent not amended and restated on the Closing Date) remains

179

(d) in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. In furtherance of the reaffirmations set forth in this Section 9.18(c), each Loan Party hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, all Collateral and all proceeds thereof as security for the Obligations, in each case subject to any applicable terms and conditions set forth in the Security Documents to which it is a party.

(a) Anything contained herein or in any of the Secured Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of First Lien Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral or the existence of any intervening third party liens and notwithstanding any provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdictions, any applicable real estate laws, or any other circumstance whatsoever (but subject to Section 1.03), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Applicable Authorized Representative or any First Lien Secured Party is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Shared Collateral, or any distribution is made in respect of any Shared Collateral in any Bankruptcy Case of any Borrower or any other Grantor or any First Lien Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) with respect to any Shared Collateral, the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any such Shared Collateral (including any amount paid under any title insurance policy or any insurance policy or in connection with any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding) by any First Lien Secured Party or received by the Applicable Authorized Representative or any First Lien Secured Party pursuant to any such intercreditor agreement with respect to such Shared Collateral (including any amount paid under any title insurance policy) and proceeds of any such distribution (subject, in the case of any such distribution, to the sentence immediately following) to which the First Lien Obligations are entitled under any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) (all proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Collateral and all proceeds of any such distribution being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), shall be applied (i) FIRST, to the payment of all amounts owing to each Authorized Representative (in its capacity as such) pursuant to the terms of any Secured Credit Document, (ii) SECOND, subject to Section 1.03, to the payment in full of the First Lien Obligations of each Series

on a ratable basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Credit Documents and (iii) THIRD, after payment of all First Lien Obligations, to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared Collateral for which a third party (other than a First Lien Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of First Lien Obligations, but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of First Lien Obligations (such third party an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of First Lien Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.

(b) It is acknowledged that the First Lien Obligations of any Series may, subject to the limitations set forth in the then extant Secured Credit Documents, be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded, Refinanced in accordance with Section 2.08 or otherwise amended or modified from time to time, all without affecting the priorities set forth in Section 2.01(a) or the provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the First Lien Secured Parties of any Series.

(c) Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of First Lien Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, any applicable real estate laws, or any other applicable law or the Secured Credit Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations of any Series or any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 1.03), each First Lien Secured Party hereby agrees that the Liens securing each Series of First Lien Obligations on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other First Lien Security Documents to the contrary, Collateral consisting of cash and Cash Equivalents pledged to secure Credit Agreement Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit or otherwise held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(j) of the Credit Agreement (or any equivalent successor provision) shall be applied as specified in such Section of the Credit Agreement and will not constitute Shared Collateral.

SECTION 2.02 Actions with Respect to Shared Collateral; Prohibition on Contesting Liens. (a) With respect to any Shared Collateral, (i) only the Applicable Authorized Representative shall act or refrain from acting with respect to the Shared Collateral, (ii) the Applicable Authorized Representative shall not follow any instructions with respect to such Shared Collateral from any Non-Controlling Authorized Representative (or any other First Lien Secured Party other than the Controlling Secured Parties) and (iii) no Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or other First Lien Secured Party (other than the Controlling Secured Parties) shall or shall instruct the Applicable Authorized Representative to, commence any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral, whether under any First Lien Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Applicable Authorized Representative, acting on the instructions of the Controlling Secured Parties, if applicable, and in accordance with the applicable First Lien Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Shared Collateral (and each Non-Controlling Authorized Representative and Non-Controlling Secured Parties shall be deemed to have waived any right, power, or remedy, whether under any agreement or any applicable law (including in equity) to the contrary). Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens, the Applicable Authorized Representative (acting on the instructions of the Controlling Secured Parties) may deal with the Shared Collateral as if such Applicable Authorized Representative had a senior Lien on such Collateral. No Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or Non-Controlling Secured Party will (and shall be deemed to have waived any right to) contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Applicable Authorized Representative, Applicable Authorized Representative or Controlling Secured Party or any other exercise by the Administrative Agent, Applicable Authorized Representative or Controlling Secured Party of any rights and remedies (including any non-judicial foreclosure) relating to the Shared Collateral, or to cause the Applicable Authorized Representative to do so on any ground, including in the case of non-judicial foreclosure of any personal property collateral, that such foreclosure will not result in a commercially reasonable disposition of the Collateral. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any First Lien Secured Party, Administrative Agent or other Authorized Representative with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral.

(b) Each of the Authorized Representatives agrees that it will not accept any Lien on any collateral for the benefit of any Series of First Lien Obligations (other than funds deposited for the discharge or defeasance of any Additional First Lien Document) other than as permitted by the First Lien Security Documents and pursuant to Section 2.7(j) of the Credit Agreement, and by executing this Agreement (or a Joinder Agreement), each Authorized Representative and the Series of First Lien Secured Parties for which it is acting hereunder agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the other First Lien Security Documents applicable to it.

(c) Each of the First Lien Secured Parties agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) question or contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity, attachment or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the First Lien Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral, or the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of the Administrative Agent or any Authorized Representative to enforce this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03 No Interference; Payment Over. (a) Each First Lien Secured Party agrees that (i) it will not (and shall be deemed to have waived any right to) challenge, contest, or question, or support any other Person in challenging, contesting, or questioning, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) the validity or enforceability of any First Lien Obligations of any Series or any First Lien Security Document or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien under any First Lien Security Document or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by or other provisions of this Agreement, (ii) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or intent of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral by the Applicable Authorized Representative, (iii) except as provided in Section 2.02, it shall have no right to (A) direct the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral or (B) consent to the exercise by the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral, (iv) it will not institute any suit or assert in any suit, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding any claim against the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Shared Collateral, and none of the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Applicable Authorized Representative or other First Lien Secured Party with respect to any Shared Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (v) it will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have any Shared Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral and (vi) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party to enforce this Agreement.

(b) Each First Lien Secured Party hereby agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any such Shared Collateral, pursuant to any First Lien Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies, at any time prior to the Discharge of each of the First Lien Obligations, then it shall hold such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the other First Lien Secured Parties and promptly transfer such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Applicable Authorized Representative, to be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01 hereof.

SECTION 2.04 Automatic Release of Liens; Amendments to First Lien Security Documents. (a) If, at any time the Applicable Authorized Representative forecloses upon or otherwise exercises remedies against any Shared Collateral resulting in a sale or disposition thereof, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of the other Authorized Representatives for the benefit of each Series of First Lien Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral will automatically be released and discharged; provided that any proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized therefrom shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.

(b) If, at any time the Applicable Authorized Representative (i) executes, on commercial terms, subordination, non-disturbance, attornment and estoppel agreements with tenants in properties owned or leased by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, then each other Authorized Representative shall, upon written request and at the expense of the US Borrower, promptly subordinate its Lien in such Shared Collateral or enter into non-disturbance, attornment and estoppel agreements on the same terms and pursuant to the documents substantially in the same form as the documents executed by the Applicable Authorized Representative in connection therewith. Each First Lien Secured Party agrees that if the Applicable Authorized Representative enters into any amendment to any First Lien Security Document relating to the Series of First Lien Obligations for which the Applicable Authorized Representative is acting, the US Borrower may require each other Authorized Representative to enter into corresponding amendments to the First Lien Security Documents governing the Series of First Lien Obligations for which such Authorized Representative is acting so long as (w) the effect of such amendments are consistent with the effect to the First Lien Security Documents for the Series of First Lien Obligations for which the Applicable Authorized Representative is acting, (y) the effect of such amendment is not to release or subordinate the Liens securing such Series of First Lien Obligations or is otherwise adverse to the holders of such Series of First Lien Obligations (except to the extent already permitted by the Secured Credit Documents governing such Series of First Lien Obligations) and (z) the US Borrower delivers a certificate of an executive officer of the US Borrower to such Authorized Representative stating that the requirements of this sentence have been satisfied.

(c) Each Authorized Representative agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such authorizations and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Applicable Authorized Representative to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral or amendment to any First Lien Security Document provided for in this Section.

SECTION 2.05 Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. (a) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law by or against Holdings, any of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries.

(b) If any of the Borrowers and/or any of the Grantors shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, each First Lien Secured Party agrees that it will raise no objection and shall be deemed to have consented to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, unless any Controlling Secured Party, or an Authorized Representative of any Controlling Secured Party, shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the First Lien Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of

their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-a-vis all the other First Lien Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any First Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-a-vis the First Lien Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the First Lien Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement, and (D) if any First Lien Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement; provided that the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the First Lien Secured Parties of such Series or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided, further, that all First Lien Secured Parties shall have the right to seek and receive the adequate protection permitted by this Section 2.05(b); and provided, further, that all First Lien Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to (or support any other party in objecting to) any other First Lien Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such First Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

SECTION 2.06 Reinstatement. In the event that any of the First Lien Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such First Lien Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.

SECTION 2.07 Insurance. As between the First Lien Secured Parties, the Applicable Authorized Representative, shall have the right to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral.

SECTION 2.08 Refinancings. The First Lien Obligations of any Series may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the refinancing transaction under any Secured Credit Document) of any First Lien Secured Party of any other Series, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that the Authorized Representative of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder Agreement on behalf of the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness (with such changes as may be reasonably approved by each Authorized Representative) and complied with Section 5.13.

SECTION 2.09 Possessory Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. (a) The Applicable Authorized Representative agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral that is part of the Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other First Lien Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable First Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09; provided that at any time the Administrative Agent is not the Applicable Authorized Representative, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Applicable Authorized Representative, promptly deliver all Possessory Collateral to the Applicable Authorized Representative together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Applicable Authorized Representative to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral). Pending delivery to the Applicable Authorized Representative, each other Authorized Representative agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other First Lien Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable First Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09.

(b) The duties or responsibilities of the Applicable Authorized Representative and each other Authorized Representative under this Section 2.09 shall be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other First Lien Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such First Lien Secured Parties therein.

EXISTENCE AND AMOUNTS OF LIENS AND OBLIGATIONS

SECTION 3.01 Determinations with Respect to Amounts of Liens and Obligations. Whenever the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Authorized Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any First Lien Obligations of any Series, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the First Lien Obligations of any Series, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by each other Authorized Representative and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if an Authorized Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Applicable Authorized Representative or other Authorized Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the US Borrower. The Applicable Authorized Representative and each other Authorized Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise

directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any First Lien Secured Party or any other person as a result of such determination.

ARTICLE IV

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 4.01 Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the First Lien Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Applicable Authorized Representative to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Applicable Authorized Representative by the terms hereof or thereof, including for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any Grantor to secure any of the First Lien Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Applicable Authorized Representative and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Applicable Authorized Representative pursuant to Section 4.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under any of the First Lien Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IV and Section 8 of the Credit Agreement and the equivalent provision of any Additional First Lien Document (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “Applicable Authorized Representative” named therein) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(b) Each Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Applicable Authorized Representative shall be entitled, for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the First Lien Security Documents, without regard to any rights to which the Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled as a result of the First Lien Obligations held by such Non-Controlling Secured Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the First Lien Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the First Lien Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against the Applicable Authorized Representative or the Authorized Representative of any other Series of First Lien Obligations or any other First Lien Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which the Applicable Authorized Representative, any Authorized Representative or any First Lien Secured Party takes or omits to take (including, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the First Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the First Lien Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the First Lien Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the First Lien Obligations, other than any claims for breach of this Agreement, (ii) any election by any Applicable Authorized Representative or any holders of First Lien Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law by,

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Applicable Authorized Representative shall not accept any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any First Lien Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code (or any similar provision or power available with respect to the foreclosure of any lien or security interest in, to, or otherwise relating to any real property) of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each Authorized Representative representing holders of First Lien Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral.

(a)Each Authorized Representative acknowledges and agrees that upon execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex II by an additional Authorized Representative, the Applicable Authorized Representative and each Grantor in accordance with Section 5.13, the Applicable Authorized Representative will continue to act in its capacity as Applicable Authorized Representative in respect of the then existing Authorized Representatives and such additional Authorized Representative.

SECTION 4.02 Rights as a First Lien Secured Party. (a) The Person serving as the Applicable Authorized Representative hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a First Lien Secured Party under any Series of First Lien Obligations that it holds as any other First Lien Secured Party of such Series and may exercise the same as though it were not the Applicable Authorized Representative and the term “First Lien Secured Party” or “First Lien Secured Parties” or (as applicable) “Credit Agreement Secured Party”, “Credit Agreement Secured Parties”, “Additional First Lien Secured Party” or “Additional First Lien Secured Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Applicable Authorized Representative hereunder in its individual capacity.

(b)the US Borrower shall have (x) delivered to the Applicable Authorized Representative true and complete copies of each of the Additional First Lien Documents relating to such Senior Class Debt, certified as being true and correct by a Responsible Officer of the US Borrower and (y) certified that such Additional First Lien Obligations are permitted to be incurred and secured on a pari passu basis with the Liens of the then-existing First Lien Obligations and by the terms of the then-existing Secured Credit Documents;

(c)all filings, recordations and/or amendments or supplements to the First Lien Security Documents necessary or desirable in the reasonable judgment of the Applicable Authorized Representative to confirm and perfect the Liens securing the relevant obligations relating to such Senior Class Debt shall have been made, executed and/or delivered (or, with respect to any such filings or recordations, acceptable provisions to perform such filings or recordings have been taken in the reasonable judgment of the Applicable Authorized Representative), and all fees and taxes in connection therewith shall have been paid (or acceptable provisions to make such payments have been taken in the reasonable judgment of the Applicable Authorized Representative); and

Upon such execution and delivery, such Person will become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder, and will be acknowledged by the Applicable Authorized Representative. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 5.15 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Secured Credit Documents and the First Lien Security Documents, represents the agreement of each of the Grantors, and the First Lien Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Grantor, the Applicable Authorized Representative, any or any other First Lien Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Secured Credit Documents or the First Lien Security Documents.

SECTION 5.16 Specific Performance. Each Authorized Representative may demand specific performance of this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement, (iii) the release of, or any impairment of or failure to perfect any Lien on or security interest in, any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the Obligations or any of them, (iv) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations). Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in its sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any of the Borrowers or any other Loan Agreement Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any other Loan Agreement Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower or any other Loan Agreement Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Borrower or any other Loan Agreement Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Borrower or any other Loan Agreement Party, as the case may be, or any security.

2.4 Reinstatement. Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Borrower Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the US Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise.

2.5 Agreement To Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower or any other Loan Agreement Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the US Borrower or any other Guarantor arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Section 6.

2.6 Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ and each other Loan Agreement Party’s financial condition and assets and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

If any Grantor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit with a face amount in excess of $2,000,000 now or hereafter issued in favor of such Grantor, such Grantor shall promptly and in any event on or prior to the date an updated Perfection Certificate with respect to the fiscal quarter such issuance occurs is delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(b) of the Credit Agreement (in the case of any other such Collateral) (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the request and option of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (ii) arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the Administrative Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit are to be paid to the applicable Grantor unless an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

SECTION 6 REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

6.1Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. The Administrative Agent may at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing require any Grantor to notify the Account Debtor or counterparty on any Receivable constituting Collateral of the security interest of the Administrative Agent therein. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may require any Grantor to notify the Account Debtor or counterparty to make all payments under the Receivables constituting Collateral directly to the Administrative Agent.

6.2Pledged Securities. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given written notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.2(b) (which notice shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7(f) of the Credit Agreement other than to the extent such right is waived or revoked in writing by the Required Lenders), each Grantor shall be permitted to (i) receive all dividends, interest, principal or other payments or distributions paid or made in respect of the Pledged Securities, to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Capital Stock or Pledged Debt Securities, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding equity interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and shall be forthwith delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or instrument of assignment), and (ii) exercise all voting and corporate or other ownership rights with respect to the Pledged Securities; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other ownership right exercised or other action taken which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of any Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same or which would violate any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b)If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given written notice to the US Borrower of the Administrative Agent’s intent to execute its rights pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) (which notice shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(f) of the Credit Agreement other than to the extent such right is waived or revoked in writing by the Required Lenders): (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all dividends, interest, principal or other payments or distributions paid in respect to the Pledged Securities included in the Collateral and make application thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.4, (ii) all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent which shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor, to transfer all or any portion of the Investment Property included in the Collateral to its name or the name of its nominee or agent or the name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank in favor of the Administrative Agent, and each Grantor will promptly following request give to the Administrative Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities included in the Collateral registered in the name of such Grantor. In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, without notice to any Grantor, to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Investment Property included in the Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. In order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request and each Grantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth herein. All dividends,

interest, principal or other payments or distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 6.2(b) shall be held for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent promptly following demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent).

(c)Any notice given by the Administrative Agent to the US Borrower or any other Grantor under this Section 6.2 (i) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing, (ii) may be given with respect to one or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6.2 in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Administrative Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(d)Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Administrative Agent.

6.3Proceeds to be Turned Over to Administrative Agent. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, at the written request of the Administrative Agent, all Proceeds of Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, Cash Equivalents and checks shall be held by such Grantor for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if reasonably required). All such Proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent under this Section 6.3 shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its control (as defined in and subject to Section 9-104 of the New York UCC). All such Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.4.

6.4Application of Proceeds. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent may, notwithstanding

the provisions of Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement, apply all or any part of the net Proceeds (after deducting fees and expenses as provided in Section 6.5) of Collateral realized through the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies hereunder, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations in the following order (provided that if the terms of any Permitted Amendment provide for application of such Proceeds to the payment of any Obligations in a less favorable order, then the terms of such Permitted Amendment shall govern with respect to such Obligations and the Administrative Agent shall apply such Proceeds in such different order):

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including attorneys fees payable under the Credit Agreement and amounts payable under Section 2 of this Agreement) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest, Cash Management Obligations, obligations under Specified Hedge Agreements and, to the extent payable under clause First, attorneys’ fees) payable to the Secured Parties (including attorneys’ fees payable under the Credit Agreement and amounts payable under Section 2 of this Agreement), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and LC Disbursements, ratably among the holders of such Obligations in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and LC Disbursements and to amounts then due and payable under Specified Hedge Agreements with Qualified Counterparties and Cash Management Obligations then due and payable and, to the extent required under Section 2.7(j) of the Credit Agreement, to cash collateralize the portion of the LC Disbursements comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, ratably among the holders of such Obligations in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

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

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to the US Borrower or as otherwise required by applicable law.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Loan Party that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan Party.

(c) Amounts used to cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising in connection with Cash Management Services or under Specified Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Qualified Counterparty; provided that in no event shall proceeds of any Collateral of any Grantor that is not an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations.

6.5Code and Other Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Administrative Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC (whether or not the New York UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or its rights under any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses (other than the defense of payment or performance of the Discharge of Obligations), advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the extent permitted by applicable law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or consent to the use by any Grantor of any cash collateral arising in respect of the Collateral on such terms as the Administrative Agent deems reasonable, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid on behalf of the Secured Parties, the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, it being understood that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.5 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards under the UCC with respect to any disposition of Collateral. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold to it absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of

the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Borrower Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any of their rights hereunder. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.5, after deducting all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.4 and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. If the Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Administrative Agent and applied to Indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and the Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.

(c)In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Administrative Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Collateral under applicable “blue sky” or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Administrative Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers (including a single potential purchaser) to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Administrative Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral at a price that the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a limited number of purchasers (or a single purchaser) were approached. The provisions of this Section 6.5 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Administrative Agent sells.

6.6Remedies for Intellectual Property. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times with respect to any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the security interest granted hereunder to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Collateral by the applicable Grantor to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained).

(b)For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors), to use, license or sublicense any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, provided, that such license shall automatically terminate upon the Discharge of Obligations. The use of such license by the Administrative Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided, however, that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default or the Discharge of Obligations.

6.7Waiver; Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 7 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

7.1Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following, until the termination of this Agreement:

(i)in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable constituting Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii)in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and record or have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii)pay or discharge taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to Taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents;

(iv)execute, in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy provided for in Section 6, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(v)(1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral and to give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) send verifications of Receivable to any Account Debtor; (5) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (6) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (7) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (8) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Trademark pertains and subject to the covenant set forth in Section 6.6(b)) included in the Collateral, throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (9) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to, or consent to any use of cash collateral arising in respect of, or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that, except as expressly provided in Section 7.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under

the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b)If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise this power without first making demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to comply therewith within any applicable period of grace.

(c)The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Revolving Credit Loans that are ABR Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand.

(d)Each Secured Party, by its authorization of the Administrative Agent’s entering into this Agreement, consents to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any power, right or remedy provided for herein. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

7.2Duty of Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (including a material breach of their obligations under the Loan Documents).

7.3Execution of Financing Statements; Intellectual Property Filings. (a) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in the Security Documents or as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the undersigned, whether now owned or hereafter existing or acquired by the undersigned or such other description as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines is necessary or advisable. Each Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Administrative Agent to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

(b)The Administrative Agent is authorized to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) or the United States Copyright Office (“USCO”) (or any successor office) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest in each item of Intellectual Property of each Grantor included in the Collateral that is subject to registration or an application to register in the USPTO or USCO, and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Administrative Agent as secured party and shall provide written notice to the Grantor prior to filing any such documents.

7.4Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

SECTION 8 INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION

8.1Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 8.3), the US Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement, the US Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to satisfy in whole or in part a claim of any Secured Party, the US Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

8.2Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Guarantor”) agrees (subject to Section 8.3) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Obligation, or assets of any other Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Loan Document to satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured Party, and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the US Borrower as provided in Section 8.1, the Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal to (i) the amount of such payment or (ii) the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 9.14, the date of the supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor). Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Guarantor pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Guarantor under Section 8.1 to the extent of such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any claiming Party’s right to indemnification hereunder arises from a payment or sale of assets made to satisfy secured Obligations constituting Swap Obligations, only those Contributing Guarantors for whom such Swap Obligations do not constitute Excluded Swap Obligations shall indemnify such claiming Party with the fraction set forth in the second preceding sentence.

8.3Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Borrower Obligations. No failure on the part of the US Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 8.1 and 8.2 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of its obligations hereunder.

(b) The US Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agree that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations owed by it to the US Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Borrower Obligations.

SECTION 9 MISCELLANEOUS

9.1Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement or pursuant to an Assumption Agreement, provided that the Schedules to this Agreement may be amended or supplemented by any Grantor at any time by delivering such amended or supplemented schedule to the Administrative Agent.

9.2Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor (other than Holdings or the US Borrower) shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1 (as such schedule may be amended from time to time).

9.3No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

9.4Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Lender for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Administrative Agent, in each case, to the extent the US Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to hold each Secured Party harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case, to the extent the US Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to hold the Lenders, the Agents and Issuing Banks harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, in each case, to the extent the US Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(e) Each Grantor agrees that the provisions of Section 9.3(b) of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, as if each reference therein to the U.S. Borrower were a reference to such Grantor.

This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

9.6Set-off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender at any time and from time to time with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be required in connection with customary set-offs in connection with Cash Management Obligations and Specified Hedge Agreements), while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (excluding payroll, tax withholding and trust account maintained in the ordinary course of business) in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Lender against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, as such Lender may elect, whether or not any Lender has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured , in each case, to the extent the US Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.8 of the Credit Agreement. Each Lender shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Lender of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

9.8Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.10Integration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Agent or Lender may bring an action or proceeding in a jurisdiction where Collateral is located.

(b) The US Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. 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.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.2. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(b)no Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c)no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and the Secured Parties.

9.14Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the US Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.9 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement. Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and such Subsidiary of a supplement in the form of Annex 1 hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor and a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Guarantor and a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Loan Party as a party to this Agreement

9.15Releases. (a) Upon the Discharge of Obligations, this Agreement and the Liens granted hereby shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Secured Parties, by its authorization of the Administrative Agent’s entering into this Agreement, hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to) take such actions and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by any Grantor and at such Grantor’s expense to further document and evidence such termination and release, and the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Secured Parties, by its authorization of the Administrative Agent’s entering into this Agreement, hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by any Guarantor and at such Guarantor’s expense to further document and evidence such termination and release of the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantors hereunder.

(b) In the event that any Grantor conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise Disposes of all or any portion of any of the Capital Stock or assets of any Grantor to a Person that is not (and is not required hereunder to become) a Grantor hereunder in a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Liens created hereunder in respect of such Capital Stock or assets shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Secured Parties, by their authorization of the Administrative Agent’s entering into this Agreement, hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) take such actions and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by any Grantor and at such Grantor’s expense to further document and evidence such termination and release of Liens hereunder in respect of such Capital Stock or assets, and, in the case of a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement the result of which is that a Guarantor would cease to be a Restricted Subsidiary or would become an Excluded Subsidiary, the Guarantee Obligations created hereunder in respect of such Guarantor (and all Liens granted by such Guarantor hereunder) shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (the Secured Parties, by their authorization of the Administrative Agent’s entering into this Agreement, hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) take such actions and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by such Guarantor and at such Guarantor’s expense to further document and evidence such termination and release of such Liens and such Guarantor’s Guarantee Obligations hereunder.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

9.18Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 9.18 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 9.18, or otherwise under this Agreement, 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 9.18 shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments have been terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan, all Fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under any Loan Document (other than contingent indemnification Obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit have been Cash Collateralized, cancelled or have expired and all amounts drawn thereunder have been reimbursed in full.

On the Closing Date, the guarantees and security described in the Existing Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall be amended and restated in their entirety as described herein.

FORM OF INTERCOMPANY NOTE

INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATED DEMAND PROMISSORY NOTE

Note Number: 1 Dated: [_________]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Holdings, the US Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group Members” and each, a “Group Member”) which is a party to this intercompany subordinated demand promissory note (this “Promissory Note”) promises to pay to the order of such other Group Member as makes loans to such Group Member (each Group Member which borrows money pursuant to this Promissory Note is referred to herein as a “Payor” and each Group Member which makes loans and advances pursuant to this Promissory Note is referred to herein as a “Payee”), on demand, in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds and at the appropriate office of the applicable Payee, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans and advances heretofore and hereafter made by such Payee to such Payor and any other Indebtedness for borrowed money now or hereafter owing by such Payor to such Payee in the books and records of such Payee, including as shown on Schedule A (and any continuation thereof). The failure to show any such Indebtedness or any error in showing such Indebtedness shall not affect the obligations of any Payor hereunder. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 18, 2016 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or replaced from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Continental Building Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (including its permitted successors, “Holdings”), Continental Building Products Operating Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (including its permitted successors, the “US Borrower”), Continental Building Products Canada Inc., a Canadian federal corporation (including its permitted successors, the “Canadian Borrower” and together with the US Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto as lenders and as issuing banks and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent (together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

The unpaid principal amount from time to time outstanding of all such loans, advances and other Indebtedness owed by each Payor to the relevant Payee shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time by such Payor and the relevant Payee. Interest shall be due and payable at such times as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time by the relevant Payor and Payee. Upon demand for payment of any principal amount hereof, accrued but unpaid interest on such principal amount shall also be due and payable. Interest shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be.

Each Payor and any endorser of this Promissory Note hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights.

This Promissory Note has been pledged by each Payee (other than Continental Building Products Canada Inc.) to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as security for such Payee’s Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (such Obligations for purposes of this Promissory Note are referred to as “Obligations”), if any, under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each as defined under the Credit Agreement). During the continuation of an Event of Default the Administrative Agent may, subject to the terms set forth in the Security

Documents and the other Loan Documents, exercise all rights of the respective Payees hereunder. Each Payor acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may exercise all the rights of each Payee under this Promissory Note and will not be subject to any abatement, reduction, recoupment, defense, setoff or counterclaim available to such Payor.

Each Payee agrees that any and all obligations evidenced by this Promissory Note that are owed by any Payor that is a Loan Party to any Payee other than the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Obligations until the Obligations have been paid in full in immediately available funds (excluding Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreements (as defined in the Credit Agreement), Cash Management Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations, in each case, that are not then due and payable) and all Letters of Credit have expired or terminated or been cash collateralized (in a manner consistent with Section 2.7(j) of the Credit Agreement) or backed (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank) with other letters of credit and the Commitments under the Credit Agreement have expired or been terminated (“Paid in Full”); provided, that each Payor may make payments to the applicable Payee so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given written notice to the US Borrower of the Administrative Agent’s intent to execute its rights pursuant to Section 6.2(b) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (which notice shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(f) of the Credit Agreement other than to the extent such right is waived or revoked in writing by the Required Lenders as defined therein); and provided, further, that all loans and advances made by a Payee pursuant to this Promissory Note shall be received by the applicable Payor subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any right of any Payee to ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive any payment from any Payor, all rights, Liens and security interests of such Payee, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any Payor (whether constituting part of the security or collateral given to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to secure payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations or otherwise) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party in such assets (to the extent arising under the Loan Documents). Except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents, the Payees shall have no right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon, or exercise any other remedy in respect of, any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, until the Secured Obligations have been Paid in Full.

If all or any part of the assets of any Payor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of any Payor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any Payor is dissolved or if all or substantially all of the assets of any Payor are sold, then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other investment property or otherwise, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any obligation of such Payor evidenced by this Promissory Note to any Payee that is a Loan Party (“Payor Indebtedness”) at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application in accordance with the Credit Agreement until the date on which the Obligations shall have been Paid in Full. Each Payee that is a Loan Party irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints the Administrative Agent as such Payee’s attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) to, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is

continuing, demand, xxx for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor and to make and present for and on behalf of such Payee such proofs of claim and take such other action, in the Lien Administrative Agent’s own name or in the name of such Payee or otherwise, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of this Promissory Note. Each Payee that is a Loan Party also agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any such proofs of claim in respect of the Payor Indebtedness requested by the Administrative Agent. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default the Administrative Agent may vote such proofs of claim in any such proceeding (and the applicable Payee Loan Party shall not be entitled to withdraw such vote), receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made on Payor Indebtedness in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and apply the same on account of any of the Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, should any payment, distribution, security or other investment property or instrument or any proceeds thereof be received by any Payee that is a Loan Party upon or with respect to Payor Indebtedness owing to such Payee at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing prior to such time as the Obligations have been Paid in Full, such Payee shall receive and hold the same for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith upon written demand by the Administrative Agent deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, in the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Payee where necessary or advisable in the Administrative Agent’s judgment), for application to the Obligations and, until so delivered, the same shall be segregated from the other assets of such Payee as the property of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties. If such Payee fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, or if the Obligations have been Paid in Full, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, employees or representatives are hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Payee and Payor agrees that, until the Obligations have been Paid in Full, it will not amend, modify or supplement this Promissory Note in a manner adverse to the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement) without the consent of the Administrative Agent. The Secured Parties shall be third party beneficiaries hereof and shall be entitled to enforce the subordination and other provisions hereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in any other Loan Document or in any such promissory note or other instrument, this Promissory Note (i) replaces and supersedes any and all promissory notes or other instruments which create or evidence any loans or advances made on or before the date hereof by any Payee to any Payor and (ii) shall not be deemed replaced, superseded or in any way modified by any promissory note or other instrument entered into on or after the date hereof which purports to create or evidence any loan or advance by any Group Member to any other Group Member.

This Promissory Note may be amended or replaced with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent necessary in order to include any Permitted Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness as senior obligations (along with the Obligations) for purposes of this Note.

THIS PROMISSORY NOTE, AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS PROMISSORY NOTE AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL

BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

From time to time after the date hereof, additional Group Members may become parties hereto by executing a counterpart signature page to this Promissory Note (each such additional Group Member, an “Additional Party”). Upon delivery of such counterpart signature page to the other signatories hereto, notice of which is hereby waived by the other signatories hereto, each Additional Party shall be a Payor and/or a Payee, as applicable, and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Party were an original signatory hereof. Each Payor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Payor hereunder. This Promissory Note shall be fully effective as to any Payor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Payor hereunder.

This Promissory Note may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts (including by telecopy or other electronic transmission), 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.

[Signature page follows]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Payor and Payee has caused this Promissory Note to be executed and delivered by its proper and duly authorized officer as of the date set forth above.

All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in such Credit Agreement or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, as applicable.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Continental Building Products, Inc. (“Holdings”), Continental Building Products Operating Company, LLC, (including its permitted successors, the “US Borrower”), Continental Building Products Canada Inc., a Canadian federal corporation (including its permitted successors, the “Canadian Borrower” and together with the US Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto as lenders and as issuing banks and Credit Suisse AG, as the Administrative Agent, have entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 18, 2016 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or replaced from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Credit Agreement, the US Borrower and certain of its Affiliates (other than the Additional Grantor) have entered into the Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of August 18, 2016 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or replaced from time to time, the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”) in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties;

WHEREAS, the Credit Agreement requires the Additional Grantor to become a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Additional Grantor has agreed to execute and deliver this Assumption Agreement in order to become a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Grantors have entered into the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit. Section 9.14 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries of the US Borrower may become Subsidiary Guarantors and Grantors under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Assumption Agreement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “Additional Grantor”) is executing this Assumption Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Subsidiary Guarantor and a Grantor under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

1. Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. By executing and delivering this Assumption Agreement, the Additional Grantor, as provided in Section 9.14 of the Guarantee and Collateral

Agreement, hereby becomes a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as a Grantor and Guarantor thereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and Guarantor and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby expressly agrees to all terms and provisions of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor and Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder and assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Grantor and Guarantor thereunder. The information set forth in Annex 1-A hereto is hereby added to the information set forth in Schedules 1 through 6 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. The Additional Grantor hereby represents and warrants that each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof (after giving effect to this Assumption Agreement) as if made on and as of such date (except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date).

The Additional Grantor hereby assigns and transfers to the Administrative Agent, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of such Additional Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Collateral wherever located and whether now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Additional Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations. Each reference to a “Grantor” or a “Guarantor” in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to include the Additional Grantor. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

2. Due Authorization. The Additional Grantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

3. Counterparts. This Assumption Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Assumption Agreement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Assumption Agreement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the Additional Grantor and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Assumption Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Assumption Agreement.

4. GOVERNING LAW. THIS ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

5. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Assumption Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the

invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

6. Communications. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the Additional Grantor shall be given to it in care of the US Borrower as provided in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement.

7. Expenses. The Additional Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Assumption Agreement, including the fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Assumption Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
