improvements had been achieved on or prior to the first day of such period and (y) such cost savings, operating expense reductions and other operating improvements shall be added to Adjusted EBITDA to the extent not actually realized and calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and other operating improvements had been realized on the first day of the relevant period; provided, further that the aggregate amount added to or included in Adjusted EBITDA pursuant to clause (ii) above for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters shall not exceed an amount equal to 15% of Adjusted EBITDA (such Adjusted EBITDA being calculated before giving effect to any pro forma adjustments described in clauses (ii) above).

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, (i) to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount not to exceed its Term Loan Commitment (it being agreed that the Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall be funded at 99.5% of the principal amount thereof, and notwithstanding said discount all calculations hereunder with respect to such Loans, including the accrual of interest and the repayment or prepayment of principal, shall be based on 100% of the stated principal amount thereof) and (ii) to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, at any time, and from time to time, after the Closing Date and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) Each Lender having an Incremental Term Loan Commitment, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees, subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, to make Incremental Term Loans to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Term Loan Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan of a Class shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments in respect of Loans of such Class; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). The Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be (i)(A) in the case of any Term Borrowing, in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (except, with respect to any Incremental Term Borrowing, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Assumption Agreement) and (B) in the case of any Revolving Borrowing, in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than eight Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Administrative Agent may designate (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, and (ii) in the case of an Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the

Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short‑term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

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

SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing (or, in the case of the Closing Date, such later time and date prior to the Closing Date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, fax or other means of electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Term Borrowing, an Incremental Term Borrowing or a Revolving Credit Borrowing, and whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Lender (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each Class of Term Loans of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11 and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

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

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded absent manifest error; provided, however, 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 obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Revolving Credit Lender (which is not a Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year (commencing with June 30, 2014) and on each date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to 0.50% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative agent fees set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

(c) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate for each day or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan, any Fee or any other amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, by acceleration or otherwise, then, until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, to the extent permitted by law, such defaulted amount shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum.

SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or the Administrative Agent is advised by a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of the Class making or maintaining such Eurodollar Loans that the dollar rates at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Sections 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each

determination by the Administrative Agent and the Majority in Interest of the Lenders of the applicable Class under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Term Loan Commitments (other than any Incremental Term Loan Commitments, which shall terminate as provided in the related Incremental Assumption Agreement) shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Term Loans on the Closing Date. The Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable (subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.09(b)) written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Term Loan Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $500,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and (iii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans at the time. A notice of termination or reduction may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(c) Each reduction in the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (other than any Non-Pro Rata Termination) shall be made ratably among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments (other than in connection with any Non-Pro Rata Termination), the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced that have accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.

SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of conversion (which must be a Business Day), to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period and (c) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the applicable Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

(iii) each conversion shall be effected by each applicable Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;

(iv) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;

(v) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing;

(vii) no Interest Period may be selected for any Eurodollar Term Borrowing that would end later than a Repayment Date or an Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date, as the case may be, occurring on or after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Eurodollar Term Borrowings of the applicable Class with Interest Periods ending on or prior to such Repayment Date or Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date, as the case may be, and (B) the ABR Term Borrowings of the applicable Class would not be at least equal to the principal amount of Term Borrowings to be paid on such Repayment Date or Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date, as the case may be; and

(viii) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan until such time as the Administrative Agent shall, acting upon instructions of the Required Lenders, notify the Borrower otherwise.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10, which shall be in writing, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each applicable Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted into an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Term Borrowings. (a)(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Term Lenders, on the dates set forth below, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day (each such date being called a “Repayment Date”), a principal amount of the Term Loans other than Other Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.11(b), 2.12, 2.13(e) and 2.22(d)) equal to the amount set forth below for such date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment:

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Incremental Term Lenders, on each Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date, a principal amount of the Other Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.11(b), 2.12, 2.13(e) and 2.22(d)) equal to the amount set forth for such date in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(b) In the event and on each occasion that the Term Loan Commitments shall be reduced or shall expire or terminate other than as a result of the making of a Term Loan, the installments payable on each Repayment Date or Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date, as applicable, shall be reduced pro rata by an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such reduction, expiration or termination.

(c) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans and Other Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date and the Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date, respectively, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.

(d) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

SECTION 2.12. Voluntary Prepayment. (a) Subject to the payment of any applicable premium as set forth in paragraph (d) below, the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon (i) at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans to the Administrative Agent before 2:00 p.m., New York City time, or (ii) written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) on or prior to the Business Day that is the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 1:00 p.m., New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment of Term Borrowings shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and each partial prepayment of Revolving Credit Borrowings shall be an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000.

(b) Voluntary prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(a) shall be allocated among the Classes of outstanding Term Loans as specified by the Borrower and applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of such Term Loans under Section 2.11 as directed by the Borrower.

(c) Each notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12(a) shall specify (i) the prepayment date, (ii) the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid and (iii) the Class of Loans to be prepaid and the scheduled installment or installments of principal to which such prepayment is to be applied. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided, however, that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied; provided further, however, that the provisions of Section 2.16 shall apply with respect to any such revocation. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.16 and, other than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

(d) In the event that, on or prior to the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) all or a portion of the Term Loans are prepaid under Section 2.12(a) or Section 2.13(d) out of, or substantially concurrent with the receipt by Holdings, the Borrower or any other

Subsidiary of, the proceeds of an issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary (including any replacement or incremental term loan facility effected pursuant to an amendment of this Agreement, but other than any such issuance or incurrence accomplished together with the substantially concurrent refinancing of all Credit Facilities hereunder in connection with a Change in Control) and the effective yield (as determined by the Administrative Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practice and, in any event, taking into account the applicable interest rate margins, any interest rate floors or similar devices and all fees including any original issue discount for, and any upfront fees payable in connection with, such Indebtedness based on an assumed four-year weighted average life to maturity of such Indebtedness) payable generally to the lenders of such Indebtedness (but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, syndication, commitment or other fees in connection therewith that are not shared with all providers of such Indebtedness), is, or upon satisfaction of specified conditions could be, lower than the effective yield in respect of the Term Loans (as determined by the Administrative Agent on the same basis) or (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification to this Agreement results in the reduction of the effective yield in effect with respect to any Term Loan, then the Borrower shall pay a fee equal to 1.00% of, (A) in the case of prepayments described in clause (i) above, the aggregate principal amount so prepaid and (B) in the case of a waiver, amendment or modification described in this clause (ii), the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans that is subject to such waiver, amendment or modification (including, for clarity, the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans assigned by a Term Lender that is deemed a Non-Consenting Term Lender and is required to assign its Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.21 in connection with such waiver, amendment or modification).

SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings. If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or at any other time, the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(b) Not later than the third Business Day following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(e).

(c) No later than 100 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower (the “ECF Prepayment Date”), in each case commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(e) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year then ended minus (B) the aggregate amount of voluntary prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans under Section 2.12(a) made

during such fiscal year but only to the extent that the Indebtedness so prepaid by its terms cannot be reborrowed or redrawn and only to the extent that such prepayments are not financed from Excluded Sources. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 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 fiscal year; provided that the Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to repatriate such applicable percentage of Restricted ECF as promptly as practicable following the applicable ECF Prepayment Date (and upon any such repatriation, shall prepay the Term Loans by the amount thereof in accordance with this Section 2.13(c)). To the extent the Borrower does not so repatriate the applicable percentage of Restricted ECF, the Borrower shall prepay Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the corresponding Restricted ECF Payment Amount for the applicable fiscal year 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 2.13(c).

(d) In the event that Holdings, the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of (x) any Specified Refinancing Debt or (y) any other Indebtedness (other than, without limiting clause (x) above, Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.01), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by Holdings, the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Class of Term Loans being refinanced (in the case of clause (x) above) or all Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in the case of clause (y) above), in either case, equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (such prepayments to be applied in accordance with Section 2.13(e)).

(e) Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.13(b), 2.13(c) and 2.13(d) shall be applied first, in direct order to the next eight scheduled principal repayment installments of the Term Loan Facility and second, to the remaining principal repayment installments of the Term Loan Facility on a pro‑rata basis; provided that in the event that more than one Class of Term Borrowings are outstanding at the time of such prepayment, the aggregate amount of such prepayment shall be allocated ratably among the Term Borrowings of each such Class (except that (x) in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.13(d) as a result of the issuance or incurrence of Specified Refinancing Debt, such prepayment shall be applied to the Class of Loans intended to be refinanced thereby and (y) with respect to Other Term Loans and Specified Refinancing Term Loans, the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement or Refinancing Amendment, as the case may be, may provide that such prepayment may be made on a more than ratable basis to the Term Loans that were outstanding at the time of incurrence of the Other Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Term Loans, as the case may be) irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Borrowings are ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans; provided that if no Lenders exercise the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(f), then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to Term Loans of the applicable Class that are ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Term Loans of such Class that are Eurodollar Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16 .

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Term Lender may elect, by written notice to the Administrative Agent at the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, to decline all (but not less than all) of any mandatory prepayment of its Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.13(b) and 2.13(c) (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”). All such Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower.

(g) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.13, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three days prior irrevocable written or fax notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Class and Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.12(d) and 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (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; or

(iii) impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender (other than with respect to Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, or maintaining its obligation to make such a Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender upon demand therefor, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return

on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs, expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs, expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

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

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be

automatically converted to ABR Loansas of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

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

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.16. Breakage. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.15, 2.21(c), 2.22, 2.23 or 2.24, and subject to the other express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, each Borrowing of any Class, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing of any Class, each payment of interest on the Loans of any Class, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments of any Class or the Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing of any Class to or continuation of any Borrowing of any

Class as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments of such Class (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans of the applicable Class). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar.

SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (a) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest and (b) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. Holdings and the Borrower expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender was a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000. Any payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, may (in the Administrative

Agent’s sole discretion) be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower does not in fact make such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, and to pay 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 a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).

SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Loan Parties 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) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall reimburse and indemnify each Recipient within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to

amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to the Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.20, such Loan 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) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.20(f)(ii)(a),

(ii)(b) and (ii)(d) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(a) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9s, certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding;

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

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each

beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(d) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the

request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) to the extent that the payment would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “Lender” includes the Administrative Agent and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate; Non-Pro Rata Termination and Non-Pro Rata Payment. (a) In the event (i) any Lender delivers a notice or a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrower receives a certificate or notice described in Section 2.20(c) or is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, (v) any Term Lender has become a Non-Consenting Term Lender or (vi) any Revolving Credit Lender has become a Non-Consenting Revolving Credit Lender, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (v) or (vi) above, all of its interests, rights and obligation with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (v) or (vi) above, shall approve such requested consent, amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender

in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.12(d), 2.14 and 2.16); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14, notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall approve the proposed consent, amendment, waiver or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21(a).

(b) If (i) any Lender shall deliver a notice or certificate requesting compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower receives a certificate or notice described in Section 2.20(c) or is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

(c) In the event any Revolving Credit Lender has become a Non-Consenting Revolving Credit Lender, upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may in whole permanently terminate (a “Non-Pro Rata Termination”) the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Non-Consenting Revolving Credit Lender; provided that each Revolving Lender (other than such Non-Consenting Revolving Credit Lender) shall have approved such Non-Pro Rata Termination and any related Non-Pro Rata Payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,

in the event of any Non-Pro Rata Termination of any Non-Consenting Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment as provided above, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, (x) prepay all the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Non-Consenting Revolving Credit Lender and (y) pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Non-Consenting Revolving Credit Lender, the accrued and unpaid Commitment Fees on the amount of such Non-Consenting Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated and the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Revolving Loans of such Non-Consenting Revolving Credit Lender so prepaid, in each case to but excluding the date of such termination (the payments set forth in clauses (x) and (y), collectively, a “Non-Pro Rata Payment”).

SECTION 2.22. Incremental Facilities. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, in an amount (the “Incremental Facility Amount”) not to exceed (i) $150,000,000 minus the aggregate amount of all Incremental Commitments established prior to such time in reliance on this clause (i) plus (ii) an additional amount so long as, in the case of this clause (ii), the Secured Leverage Ratio would not, after giving effect to the making of any Loans to be made on the date of effectiveness thereof (in each case assuming all Incremental Commitments are drawn on such effective date) and other pro forma adjustments in accordance with Section 1.03, exceed 2.50:1.00 as of the date of such effectiveness; provided that, if the Secured Leverage Ratio requirement set forth in clause (ii) above is satisfied on such date, any such Indebtedness may, at the sole discretion of Holdings, be incurred under clause (ii) above regardless of whether there is capacity to incur such Indebtedness under clause (i) above. Such notice shall set forth (1) the amount of the Incremental Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Facility Amount), (2) the date on which such Incremental Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice, in each case unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and (3) in the case of Incremental Term Loan Commitments, whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments will be commitments to make additional Term Loans with terms substantially identical to the Term Loans made on the Closing Date or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Term Loans made on the Closing Date (“Other Term Loans”).

(b) The Borrower may seek Incremental Commitments from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders that will become Incremental Term Lenders and/or Incremental Revolving Lenders, as applicable, in connection therewith; provided that any such Incremental Term Lender or Incremental Revolving Lender must be an existing Term Lender or an existing Revolving Credit Lender, respectively, or be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower, Holdings and each Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Lender, as

applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Commitment of such Person. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Loans shall be substantially identical to those of the Term Loans made on the Closing Date except, in the case of Other Term Loans, as otherwise permitted herein and set forth in the Incremental Assumption Agreement (it being understood that the Incremental Term Lenders may (i) with respect to any Other Term Loans, agree to yield protection terms similar to subclause (c) below that are less favorable (but not more favorable) than the terms applicable to the other Classes of Term Loans, (ii) with respect to any Other Term Loans, agree to participate on a less than (but not greater than) pro rata basis in respect of any mandatory prepayments of Term Loans under this Agreement and (iii) agree to different initial Interest Periods with respect to the applicable Incremental Term Loans. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall be identical to those of the Revolving Credit Commitments. The Loans made pursuant to any Incremental Commitment (x) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with and shall be secured on a pari passu basis by the same collateral securing the other Loans made hereunder and (y) shall not be an obligation of, or otherwise Guaranteed by, any Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party. In the case of any Other Term Loans, (a) the final maturity date of such Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the latest Term Loan Maturity Date or Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date (if any) in effect at the time the Incremental Term Loan Commitments with respect to such Other Term Loans become effective, (b) the weighted average life to maturity of the Other Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of any other Class of Term Loans, (c) if the initial Yield on such Other Term Loans exceeds the Yield applicable to the Term Loans at such time by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin then in effect for Term Loans of each affected Class shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential for such Class, effective upon the making of the Other Term Loans; provided that if such increase is required due to the application of a higher interest rate floor on such Other Term Loan, such increase shall be effected solely through an increase in the interest rate floor of such affected Class (or if no interest rate floor applies to such affected Class at such time, an interest rate floor shall be added) and (d) subject to the foregoing, the Incremental Assumption Agreement shall set forth the amortization schedule to apply to such Other Term Loans as determined by the Incremental Term Lenders party thereto and the Borrower. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the incurrence, existence and terms of the Incremental Commitments (and the Loans to be made thereunder) evidenced thereby and the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower may revise this Agreement to evidence such amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to the Loan Documents. For purposes of this Section 2.22, “Yield” shall mean, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent:

(x) with respect to Other Term Loans, the sum of (i) the margin above the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such Other Term Loans and (ii) if such Other Term Loans are initially

made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee (excluding, in any case, all arrangement, structuring and underwriting fees not generally paid to Lenders providing such Other Term Loans) directly or indirectly from Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary for doing so (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the Other Term Loans, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (A) the weighted average life to maturity of such Other Term Loans and (B) four; for purposes of this clause (x), if the Other Term Loans include an interest rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the Term Loans of any Class, such increased amount shall be equated to the applicable margin above the Adjusted LIBO Rate for purposes of determining whether an increase to the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans of such Class shall be required, to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor for the Term Loans of such Class would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder; and

(y) with respect to Term Loans of any Class, the sum of (i) the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Term Loans of such Class and (ii) the amount of OID initially paid in respect of the Term Loans of such Class divided by four.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Commitment shall become effective unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness (“Incremental Facility Closing Date”) and subject to the proviso below, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, (ii) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02, (iii) all fees and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of such Incremental Commitments, to the extent invoiced prior to such date, shall have been paid in full and (iv) to the extent not consistent with this Agreement, the terms and documentation in respect of the Other Term Loans shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent unless otherwise expressly permitted in this Section; provided that, if the proceeds of the Term Loans or Other Term Loans made from any Incremental Term Loan Commitments are, substantially concurrently with the receipt thereof, to be used by the Borrower or any Loan Party to finance, in whole or in part, a Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition permitted pursuant to Section 6.04, then (A) the only representations and warranties that will be required to be true and correct as of the applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date shall be (x) the Specified Representations (with such modifications necessary to refer to the applicable Incremental Commitments) and such other representations and warranties as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and (y) 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 any Subsidiary) has the right to terminate the obligations of Holdings (or such Subsidiary) under such acquisition agreement or decline to consummate such acquisition as a result of a breach

of any one or more of such representations or warranties in such acquisition agreement and (B) the only Events of Default the absence of which shall be a condition to the availability thereof as of the applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date shall be the Events of Default under clauses (b), (g) and (h) of Article VII and such other Events of Default as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitments.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that (i) all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the relevant Class on a pro rata basis and (ii) on the effective date of any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, all outstanding Revolving Loans are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Incremental Revolving Lenders) on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments, and the Borrower agrees that Section 2.16 shall apply to any conversion of Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans or prepayment of Eurodollar Revolving Loans reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.11(a)(i) 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 on the date such Loans are made.

SECTION 2.23. Loan Modification Offers. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes of Loans and/or Commitments (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than five Business Days nor more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Any Lender wishing to accept such Loan Modification Offer shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing on or prior to the date specified in such Loan Modification Offer specifying the amount of its Affected Class which it has elected to request be subject to such Permitted Amendment (subject to any minimum denomination requirements set forth in such Loan Modification Offer). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.

(b) Holdings, the Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation

as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof; provided that no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the Borrower satisfies the conditions set forth in such Loan Modification Agreement, including the delivery of customary closing deliverables to the extent reasonably requested by the Accepting Lenders thereunder and (ii) on the date of effectiveness (or such later date as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may permit), the Administrative Agent shall have received any other documents and/or amendments as it shall reasonably request to evidence that Holdings, the Borrower and the other Restricted Subsidiaries are in compliance with Section 5.10. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders of the Affected Class subject thereto, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders of the Affected Class as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder; provided that, in the case of any Loan Modification Offer relating to Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Loans, all Borrowings and all prepayments of Revolving Loans (other than any Non-Pro Rata Payment) shall continue to be made on a ratable basis among all Revolving Credit Lenders, based on the relative amounts of their Revolving Credit Commitments, until the repayment of the Revolving Loans attributable to the non-extended Revolving Credit Commitments on the relevant Maturity Date. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.23 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest and customary fees in respect of any Permitted Amendment on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Loan Modification Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.23.

(c) “Permitted Amendments” shall mean any or all of the following: (i) an extension of the final maturity date and/or amortization applicable to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (ii) a change in the Applicable Margin and/or the Adjusted LIBO Rate “floor” set forth in the definition of “Adjusted LIBO Rate” with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (iii) a change in any fees payable to (or the inclusion of additional fees to be payable to) the Accepting Lenders, (iv) a change in the participation of prepayments of such “Class” of Accepting Lenders to less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) with respect to any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder and (v) such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, to provide the rights and benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents to each new “Class” of loans and/or commitments resulting therefrom.

SECTION 2.24. Specified Refinancing Debt. (a) The Borrower may, from time to time, and subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, add one or more new term loan facilities and/or new revolving credit facilities to be provided

for under this Agreement (“Specified Refinancing Debt”) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, to refinance all or any portion of the Term Loans or Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Credit Commitments) under this Agreement, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Specified Refinancing Debt (i) will rank pari passu in right of payment with and shall be secured on a pari passu basis by the same collateral securing the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii) shall not be an obligation of, or otherwise Guaranteed by, any Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party, (iii) shall mature no earlier than, and shall have a weighted average life to maturity that is not less than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of, the Loans (or Commitments, if applicable) being refinanced thereby, (iv) shall have terms and conditions (excluding pricing and optional prepayment terms and, subject to clause (iii) above, final maturity and principal amortization terms) substantially identical to, or no more favorable (taken as a whole) to the Lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Debt than, those applicable to the Loans or Commitments being refinanced thereby (provided that, the applicable Lenders may (x) agree to yield protection terms that are less favorable (but not more favorable) than the terms applicable to the other Classes of Loans and/or Commitments, (y) agree to participate on a less than (but not greater than) pro rata basis in respect of any prepayments or repayments of Loans under this Agreement and (z) in the case of Specified Refinancing Debt consisting of Term Loans, agree to different initial Interest Periods) and (v) shall be used, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, solely for the pro rata payment of the outstanding Class of Loans being so refinanced and to pay accrued interest, fees, discounts, premiums and expenses payable in connection therewith (and, in the case of Revolving Loans, a corresponding amount of the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced); provided however, that such Specified Refinancing Debt (A) may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed among the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date of any of the Loans (and Commitments) that remain outstanding after giving effect to such Specified Refinancing Debt and (B) shall not have a principal or commitment amount greater than the Loans being refinanced (except to the extent such debt is incurred to fund accrued interest on the Loans being refinanced or fees, discounts, premiums or expenses payable in connection therewith).

(b) Holdings, the Borrower and each Person that agrees to provide Specified Refinancing Debt (each of which, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Refinancing Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Specified Refinancing Debt and the terms and conditions thereof; provided that no Refinancing Amendment shall become effective unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the Borrower satisfies the conditions set forth in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, including the delivery of customary closing deliverables to the extent reasonably requested by the Lenders party thereto, and (ii) on the date of such effectiveness (or such later date as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may permit) the Administrative Agent shall have received any documents and/or

amendments as it shall reasonably request to evidence that Holdings, the Borrower and the other Restricted Subsidiaries are in compliance with Section 5.10. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Specified Refinancing Debt evidenced thereby; provided that, in the case of any Specified Refinancing Debt consisting of revolving credit commitments (“Specified Refinancing Revolving Commitments”), all Borrowings and all prepayments of Revolving Loans (which shall include loans made from Specified Refinancing Revolving Commitments) (other than any Non-Pro Rata Payment) shall continue to be made on a ratable basis among all Revolving Credit Lenders (including any Lenders holdings Specified Refinancing Revolving Commitments), based on the relative amounts of their Revolving Credit Commitments (including Specified Refinancing Revolving Commitments), until the termination of the original Revolving Credit Commitments on the relevant Maturity Date. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.24 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest and customary fees in respect of any Refinancing Amendment on such terms as may be set forth therein) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.24.

(b) Each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of law applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan other than any noncompliance that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, none of Holdings or its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents has engaged in a transaction that could subject Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to a tax or civil penalty that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The aggregate unfunded liabilities with respect to such Foreign Pension Plans could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; the present value of the aggregate accumulated benefit liabilities of all such Foreign Pension Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each such Foreign Pension Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such Foreign Pension Plans by an amount that, if required to be paid by Holdings and the Subsidiaries, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.19. Intellectual Property; Licenses, etc. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and the other Restricted Subsidiaries owns, licenses or possesses the right to use, all of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights that are necessary for the operation of its respective business, as currently conducted, and such rights do not conflict with the rights of any other Person, except to the extent such failure to own, license or possess or such conflicts, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The conduct of the business of Holdings, the Borrower and any other Restricted Subsidiary as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted does not infringe upon or violate any rights held by any other Person, except for such infringements and violations which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing, which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.20. Location of Real Property. Schedule 3.20 lists as of the Closing Date all material real property owned in fee by Holdings, the Borrower and the other Restricted Subsidiaries and the addresses thereof.

Subsidiaries will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) Holdings, the Borrower and the other Subsidiaries will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

SECTION 3.24. Insurance. Schedule 3.24 sets forth a true, complete and correct description of all insurance maintained by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower and the other Restricted Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. As of such date, such insurance is in full force and effect and all premiums have been duly paid. Holdings, the Borrower and the other Restricted Subsidiaries have insurance in such amounts and covering such risks and liabilities as are in accordance with normal industry practice.

notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; (ii) if such event is any other Event of Default (other than an event with respect to Holdings or the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above) or if any of the actions described in subclause (A) or (B) of clause (i) above have been taken, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default or after the taking of any of such actions, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (A) terminate forthwith the Commitments and (B) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; and (iii) if such event is an Event of Default described in paragraph (g) or (h) above with respect to Holdings or the Borrower, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

ARTICLE VIII

Agency

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) as its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and any rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.

The institution serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such institution and

104

its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders or Secured Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any of the other Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the institution serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders or Secured Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Holdings, the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Holdings or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

105

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities as well as activities as Agent.

Subject to the provisions below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be an institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such institution. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender acknowledges that Eligible Assignees hereunder may be Affiliate Lenders and that Affiliate Lenders may acquire (including pursuant to privately negotiated transactions with one or more Lenders that are not made available for participation to all Lenders or all Lenders of a particular Class) Loans and Commitments hereunder from Lenders from time to time, subject to the restrictions set forth herein. Each Lender agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or

106

inquire as to whether any Affiliate Lender intends to acquire or has acquired any Loan or Commitment or as to whether any Lender is at any time an Affiliate Lender and that, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received, pursuant to the covenants of such Lender set forth herein or in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such Lender shall have acquired any Loan or Commitment hereunder, prior written notice from any Lender that such Lender is an Affiliate Lender, the Administrative Agent may deal with such Lender (including for purposes of determining the consent, approval, vote or other similar action of the Lenders or the Lenders of any Class), and shall not incur any liability for so doing, as if such Lender were not an Affiliate Lender.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each of the Persons named on the cover page hereof as Joint Bookrunner or Joint Lead Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that each such Person and its Affiliates shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, no such Person, in its capacity as Joint Bookrunner or Joint Lead Arranger shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, Loan Party or any other Person.

All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt if delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by fax or on the date five Business Days after dispatch by certified or registered mail if mailed, in each case delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to such party as provided in this Section 9.01 or in accordance with the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this Section 9.01. Notices delivered through electronic communications, to the extent provided in paragraph (e) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (e).

(e) Electronic Communications. To the extent permitted elsewhere in this Agreement, notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e‑mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent, Holdings or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

(f) Change of Address, etc. Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

(g) Platform.

(i) Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

108

(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Agents or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower or the other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity 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 the Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform, except as may primarily result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Agent Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that any Loan Party provides to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to in this paragraph has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to Holdings and the Borrower, that it will, or will cause the other Subsidiaries to, provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause the other Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner otherwise specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of it hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on the Platform and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive MNPI) (each, a “Public Lender”). Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby agrees 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”, Holdings and the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as confidential as set forth

109

in Section 9.16); (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 “PRIVATE CONTAINS NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION” as being suitable for posting on a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains MNPI: (A) the Loan Documents, (B) notification of changes in the terms of the Credit Facilities and (C) financial statements and accompanying information, certificates and notices delivered pursuant to Sections 5.04(a), 5.04(b), 5.04(c), 5.04(f), 5.04(k), 5.05(a) and 5.05(d).

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.

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 e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the 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.

SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Holdings or the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, 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 or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term

110

or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

SECTION 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrower and 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 hereto as of the date hereof.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that (i)(x) in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower must also give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for (A) an assignment made to another Revolving Credit Lender or an Affiliate or a Related Fund of such a Lender, (B) an assignment made after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and (y) the consent of the Borrower shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within five Business Days following the receipt by the Borrower of a written request for such consent or (C) an assignment made during the primary syndication of the Commitments and the Loans, (ii) in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment, the consent of the Administrative Agent shall not be required for an assignment made to another Revolving Credit Lender or an Affiliate or a Related Fund of such a Lender, (iii) the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be an integral multiple of, and not less than, $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment or Loans of the relevant Class); provided that simultaneous assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (B) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance and, in each case, shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), (v) the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom

111

all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws) and all applicable Tax forms and (vi) in the case of any assignment to an Eligible Assignee that is or would be, upon giving effect to such assignment, an Affiliate Lender, such assignment shall also be subject to the provisions of Section 9.04(l). Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04 from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which shall be no earlier than the date of the recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an 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 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Term Loan Commitment and Revolving Credit Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Term Loans and Revolving Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) if such assigning Lender is an Affiliate Lender (other than any Debt Fund Affiliate), such assigning Lender represents and warrants that, as of the date of any assignment to such assignee, that none of it or any of its directors or officers is aware of any material non-public information with respect to the business of Holdings, the Borrower or the other Subsidiaries that (i) has not been disclosed to such assignee prior to such date and (ii) if made public would reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Person’s decision to acquire the Loans or Commitments from such assigning Lender, in each case other than because such assignee does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the business of Holdings, the Borrower or the other Subsidiaries, (iii) except as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or the performance or observance by Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iv) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee and is legally authorized to enter into

112

such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (vi) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vii) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (viii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans 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 Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Holdings, the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower to such assignment and any applicable Tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).

(f) Each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Participants shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in

113

Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.20(f)) to the same extent as if they were Lenders and had acquired their interests by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b) (but, with respect to any particular Participant, it shall not be entitled to greater payment under Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 than the Lender that sold the participation to such Participant, except to the extent that the entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the applicable Participant acquired its participation) and (iv) Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such Participant hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such Participant has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such Participant has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such Participant has an interest or releasing all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees (other than in connection with the sale of the applicable Guarantors in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05) or all or substantially all of the Collateral).

(g) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(h) Any Lender or Participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to

114

preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16.

(i) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.

(k) Neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(l) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but without limiting Sections 9.04(b) and (e), (x) no Lender may (other than as part of the primary syndication of the Credit Facilities) assign Revolving Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments to an Affiliate Lender and (y) any Term Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to an Affiliate Lender; provided that:

115

(A) each Affiliate Lender (other than any Debt Fund Affiliate) represents and warrants, as of the date of any assignment to such Affiliate Lender pursuant to this Section 9.04(l), that none of it or any of its directors or officers is aware of any material non-public information with respect to the business of Holdings, the Borrower or the other Subsidiaries that (x) has not been disclosed to the counterparty to such assignment 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 Lender’s decision to assign the Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments to such Affiliate Lender, in each case other than because such counterparty does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the business of Holdings, the Borrower or the other Subsidiaries;

(B) the assigning Term Lender and the Affiliate Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and

(C) at the time of such assignment and immediately after giving effect to such assignment, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans and Commitments held by Affiliate Lenders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Debt Fund Affiliates) shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Loans and Commitments then outstanding under this Agreement (such requirement, the “Affiliate Lender Cap”).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Affiliate Lender (or than any Debt Fund Affiliate) shall have any right to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders to which representatives of the Loan Parties are not invited, (B) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication among the Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials or communication have been made available to any Loan Party or its representatives or (C) receive advice of counsel to the Agents or the Lenders and none of them shall challenge any assertion of attorney-client privilege by any Agent or any Lender.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.08 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders, all affected Lenders or all Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, an Affiliate Lender shall be deemed to have voted its

116

interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Affiliate Lenders; provided that (I) such Affiliate Lender shall have the right to approve any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any Loan Document which by its terms adversely affects such Affiliate Lender in its capacity as a Lender differently from other affected Lenders in any material respect or is of a type described in Section 9.08(b)(i) through (viii) to the extent such Affiliate Lender is directly adversely affected thereby and (II) no such amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action shall deprive such Affiliate Lender of its share of any payments to which such Affiliate Lender is entitled under the Loan Documents without such Affiliate Lender providing its consent, and in furtherance of the foregoing, (x) the Affiliate Lender agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any instrument reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to evidence the voting of its interest as a Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.04(l); provided that if the Affiliate Lender fails to promptly execute such instrument such failure shall in no way prejudice any of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this paragraph and (y) the Administrative Agent is hereby appointed (such appointment being coupled with an interest) by the Affiliate Lender as the Affiliate Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Affiliate Lender and in the name of the Affiliate Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this paragraph (l)(iii); provided that the provisions of this clause (iii) shall not apply to any Debt Fund Affiliate.

(iv) Each Affiliate Lender (other than a Debt Fund Affiliate), solely in its capacity as a Term Lender, hereby agrees, and each assignment agreement relating to an assignment to such Affiliate Lender shall provide a confirmation that, if any Loan Party shall be subject to any voluntary or involuntary proceeding commenced under any Debtor Relief Laws (“Bankruptcy Proceedings”), (i) such Affiliate Lender shall not take any step or action in such Bankruptcy Proceeding to object to, impede, or delay the exercise of any right or the taking of any action by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or the taking of any action by a third party that is supported by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent) in relation to such Affiliate Lender’s claim with respect to its Loans (a “Claim”) (including objecting to any debtor-in-possession financing, use of cash collateral, grant of adequate protection, sale or disposition, compromise or plan of reorganization) so long as such Affiliate Lender is treated in connection with such exercise or action on the same or better terms as the other Term Lenders and (ii) with respect to any matter requiring the vote of Term Lenders during the pendency of a Bankruptcy Proceeding (including voting on any plan of reorganization), the Loans held by such Affiliate Lender (and any Claim with respect thereto) shall be deemed to be voted in accordance with clause (iii) of this Section 9.04(l), so long as such Affiliate Lender is treated in connection with the exercise of such right or taking of such action on the same or better terms as the other Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders and each

117

Affiliate Lender (other than any Debt Fund Affiliate) agree and acknowledge that the provisions set forth in this clause (iv) of Section 9.04(l), and the related provisions set forth in each assignment agreement relating to an assignment to such Affiliate Lender, constitute a “subordination agreement” as such term is contemplated by, and utilized in, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and, as such, would be enforceable for all purposes in any case where a Loan Party has filed for protection under any Debtor Relief Law applicable to the Loan Party.

SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity; Damages Waivers. (a) Holdings and the Borrower agree, jointly and severally, to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Arranger, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by any Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (and one or more additional counsel as a result of one or more conflicts of interest and any special counsel and local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction), and in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for any Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, and including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b) Holdings and the Borrower agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the syndication of the Credit Facilities), (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at or under any property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by Holdings, the Borrower or any of the other Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Holdings, the Borrower or the other

118

Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have primarily resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that Holdings or the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Related Party thereof under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Arranger, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Arranger, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.06. Right 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 (for so long as such Event of Default is continuing), except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of Holdings or the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed

119

held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right 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, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings or the Borrower in any case shall entitle Holdings or the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein in Sections 2.22, 2.23 and 2.24, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Required Lenders with the approval of the Required Lenders); provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan (provided that the Required Lenders may waive the imposition of any default rate of interest), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or waive, decrease or extend the date for payment of any fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that any such increase to a Commitment (other than pursuant to provisions herein permitting such an increase without further approval of Required Lenders) shall also require the approval of the Required Lenders), (iii) amend or modify (x) the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17, (y) the provisions of Section 9.04(k) or (z) other than in accordance with Section 6.05, release all

120

or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees provided by the Guarantors in respect of the Obligations or all or substantially all of the Collateral, in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) modify the provisions of this Section 9.08 or the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make the determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be) (it being understood that, without limiting the ninth sentence in Section 2.22(b), with the consent of the Required Lenders, the provisions of this Section 9.08 and the definition of the term “Required Lenders” may be amended to include references to any new class of loans created under this Agreement (or to lenders extending such loans) on substantially the same basis as the corresponding references relating to the existing Classes of Loans or Lenders), (v) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a Majority in Interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class (it being understood, however, that additional extensions of credit being given substantially the same treatment as the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments on the Closing Date shall be permitted by vote of the Required Lenders), (vi) modify the protections afforded to an SPV pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(j) without the written consent of such SPV, (vii) 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 (viii) amend for purposes of the Financial Covenant any definition (or any component thereof) that is used in the Financial Covenant, amend or waive the terms of the Financial Covenant or waive, amend, terminate or otherwise modify the Financial Covenant with respect to the occurrence of an Event of Default arising in respect of the Financial Covenant without the consent of the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Credit Lenders; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment or waiver solely affecting the Revolving Credit Lenders (or that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights or obligations of the Term Lenders) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be effected solely with the consent of the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Credit Lenders and any amendment or waiver solely affecting the Term Lenders (or that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights or obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders) under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be effected solely with the consent of the Majority in Interest of the Term Lenders; provided that any waiver or amendment of Section 4.01, and any waiver or amendment of any provision of Article III or any Default or Event of Default that is expressly to be effective solely for purposes of complying with Section 4.01 to make any Revolving Credit Borrowing after the Closing Date, shall not be subject to the foregoing, but shall require the consent of a Majority in Interest of the

121

Revolving Credit Lenders (solely for the purpose of permitting such Revolving Credit Borrowing) in addition to the consent of the Required Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and 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 Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof; provided that such amendments (or amendments and restatements) shall in all other respects comply with the provisions of Section 9.08(b) above.

SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Engagement Letter, the Administrative Agent Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement, the Engagement Letter, the Administrative Agent Fee Letter or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO

122

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 AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein 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 shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. 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, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission, “.pdf” or similar electronic format shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, 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 only in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document

123

shall affect any right that any Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against Holdings, the Borrower or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of Holdings and the 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 or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City. 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 9.01. 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.

SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, as well as any numbering, administration or settlement service providers, in connection with the evaluation, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or Participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrower, (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16, (h) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder or (i) to market data collectors or providers of similar services, providers to the lending industry and other service providers to the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. For the purposes of this Section 9.16, “Information” shall mean all information received from or on behalf of

124

Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary and related to Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or their businesses, other than (i) any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by Holdings or the Borrower or (ii) information clearly identified by the Borrower at the time of delivery as not being confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.16 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 its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.17. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 9.17 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

SECTION 9.18. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Holdings and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Holdings and the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Holdings and the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Holdings and the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of May 9, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, Holdings, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Credit Suisse AG, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE II

Guarantee

SECTION 2.01. Guarantee. Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, by way of independent payment obligation, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from such Guarantor, and that such Guarantor will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. Each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any Obligation, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 2.02. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any Collateral held for the payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other Person. Each Guarantor further agrees that, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may, subject, in the case of enforcing against any Collateral, to the Security Agreement, institute legal proceedings directly against such Guarantor without first proceeding against the Borrower.

SECTION 2.03. No Limitations, Etc. (a) Except for the limitations set forth in Section 2.07 and/or the termination or release of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 5.13, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Obligations of each Guarantor shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. 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 (other than the termination or release of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 5.13), including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement, (iii) the release or any impairment of or failure to perfect any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party as security for any of the Obligations, (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, (v) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations, (vi) except as expressly set forth in Section 5.13, any change in ownership of such Guarantor or

E-8

(vii) 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 acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent may take and hold any Collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations, may exchange, waive or release any or all such Collateral (with or without consideration), may enforce or apply such Collateral and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in its sole discretion or may 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 the Borrower or any other Loan Party (including any defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral) or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election and to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents and by applicable law, foreclose on any Collateral held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any other Loan 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 the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any Collateral.

SECTION 2.04. 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 Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise.

SECTION 2.05. 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 the Borrower or any other Loan 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 shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties, 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 Borrower or any other Guarantor

E-9

arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article III.

SECTION 2.06. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s and each other Loan 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.

SECTION 2.07. Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the maximum aggregate amount of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Agreement, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable laws relating to financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

ARTICLE III

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination

SECTION 3.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 3.03), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement, the 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 any Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part a claim of any Secured Party, the 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.

SECTION 3.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Guarantor”) agrees (subject to Section 3.03) 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 Security 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 Borrower as provided in Section 3.01, the Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal to (x) the amount of such payment or (y) 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 5.14, 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 3.02 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Guarantor under Section 3.01 to the extent of such payment.

E-10

SECTION 3.03. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and all other rights of the Guarantors of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 3.01 and 3.02 (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 Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agree that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations owed by it to, or to it by, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations; provided that, as long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and until notice to the contrary shall have been received by any Loan Party from the Administrative Agent (except when an Event of Default described in clause (g) or (h) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing in which case no such notice shall be required), nothing in this Section 3.03(b) shall prohibit any payments or distributions permitted by the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

Representations and Warranties

Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that (a) the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Agreement are within such Guarantor’s corporate or other organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational and, if required, stockholder or other equityholder action, and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Guarantor and is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability, and (b) as of the date hereof, all representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement as to such Guarantor are true and correct.

ARTICLE V

Miscellaneous

SECTION 5.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it in care of Holdings as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 5.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Guarantors in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other

E-11

Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any Secured Party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan, any fee or any other amount payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been terminated.

SECTION 5.03. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Loan Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Loan Party shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated or permitted by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Loan Party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and without affecting the obligations of any other Loan Party hereunder.

SECTION 5.04. Successors and Assigns.

SECTION 5.05. Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder in accordance with Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement.

E-12

claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Secured Party or such Related Party. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives any claim against any Secured Party and its Related Parties, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loans or the use of proceeds thereof.

(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations guaranteed hereunder and secured by the Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 5.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 5.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor and shall bear interest at the rate specified in Section 2.06(a) of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 5.06. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 5.07. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver hereof or 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 and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 5.07, 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 under the Credit Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.

E-13

SECTION 5.08. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). 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 AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 5.08.

SECTION 5.09. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein 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 shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 5.10. Counterparts. 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, and shall become effective as provided in Section 5.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic means shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 5.12. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, 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 Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any

E-14

other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each Guarantor 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 or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.12. Each party 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 Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 5.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of the Administrative Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 5.13. Termination or Release. (a) This Agreement and the guarantees made herein shall terminate when all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement.

(b) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary.

(c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.05, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for all costs and out of pocket expenses, including the fees, charges and expenses of counsel, incurred by it in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.13.

SECTION 5.14. Additional Guarantors. Any Subsidiary that is required to become a party hereto pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement shall enter into this Agreement as a Guarantor and a Subsidiary Guarantor within the time period specified in Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement. Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and such Subsidiary of a supplement in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Supplement”), such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor and Subsidiary Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any Supplement 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 Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

E-15

SECTION 5.15. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 5.15 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Secured Party may have.

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT dated as of [•] (this “Agreement”), among the SUBORDINATED CREDITORS (as defined below) party hereto, and each OBLIGOR (as defined below) party hereto and CREDIT SUISSE AG, in its capacity as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Parties.

(A) Reference is made to (i) that certain Credit Agreement dated as of May 9, 2014 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Diamond Resorts Corporation, a Maryland Corporation (the “Borrower”), Diamond Resorts International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), the Lenders from time to time party thereto and Credit Suisse AG, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and (ii) any related notes, guarantees, collateral documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection with the Credit Agreement, in each case as amended, modified, renewed, refunded, replaced, restated, restructured, increased, supplemented or refinanced in whole or in part from time to time, regardless of whether such amendment, modification, renewal, refunding, replacement, restatement, restructuring, increase, supplement or refinancing is with the same lenders or holders, agents or otherwise. Any term used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Credit Agreement.

(B) All Indebtedness of each of the undersigned (in such capacity for the purposes of this Intercompany Subordination Agreement, an “Obligor”) to each of the other undersigned that is not a Loan Party (in such capacity for the purposes of this Intercompany Subordination Agreement, a “Subordinated Creditor”) now or hereafter existing (whether created directly or acquired by assignment or otherwise), and all interest, premiums, costs, expenses or indemnification amounts thereon or payable in respect thereof or in connection therewith, are hereinafter referred to as the “Subordinated Debt”.

SECTION 1. Subordination. Each Subordinated Creditor and each Obligor agrees that the Subordinated Debt is and shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior payment in full of all Obligations of any such Obligor now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. For the purposes of this Intercompany Subordination Agreement, the Obligations shall not be deemed to have been paid in full until the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations and all other amounts (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made) payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 2. Events of Subordination. (a) In the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, arrangement, reorganization, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of any Obligor or its debts, whether voluntary or involuntary, in any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, receivership, relief or other similar case or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law

G-1

or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of any Obligor or otherwise, the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full of the Obligations before any Subordinated Creditor is entitled to receive any payment of all or any of the Subordinated Debt, and any payment or distribution of any kind (whether in cash, property or securities) that otherwise would be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinated Debt in any such case, proceeding, assignment, marshalling or otherwise (including any payment that may be payable by reason of any other indebtedness of such Obligor being subordinated to payment of the Subordinated Debt) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Parties for application (in the case of cash) to, or as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the Obligations until the Obligations shall have been paid in full.

(b) In the event that (i) any Event of Default described in clause (b) or (c) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) any judicial proceeding shall be pending with respect to any Event of Default, then no payment (including any payment that may be payable by reason of any other indebtedness of any Obligor being subordinated to payment of the Subordinated Debt) shall be made by or on behalf of any Obligor for or on account of any Subordinated Debt, and no Subordinated Creditor shall take or receive from any Obligor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral, payment of all or any of the Subordinated Debt, unless and until (x) the Obligations shall have been paid in full or (y) such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

(c) In the event that any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (b) or (c) of Article VII of the Credit Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent gives written notice thereof to each Subordinated Creditor, then no payment (including any payment that may be payable by reason of any other indebtedness of any Obligor being subordinated to payment of the Subordinated Debt) shall be made by or on behalf of any Obligor for or on account of any Subordinated Debt, and no Subordinated Creditor shall take or receive from any Obligor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral, payment of all or any of the Subordinated Debt, unless and until (x) the Obligations shall have been paid in full or (y) such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

(d) Except as otherwise set forth in Sections 2(a) through (c) above, any Obligor is permitted to pay, and any Subordinated Creditor is entitled to receive, any payment or prepayment of principal and interest on the Subordinated Debt as permitted by the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 3. In Furtherance of Subordination. Each Subordinated Creditor agrees as follows:

(a) If any proceeding referred to in Section 2(a) above is commenced by or against any Obligor,

(i) the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of each Subordinated Creditor or

G-2

otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, xxx for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to in Section 2(a) and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including, without limitation, voting the Subordinated Debt or enforcing any security interest or other lien securing payment of the Subordinated Debt) as it may reasonably deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties; and

(ii) each Subordinated Creditor shall duly and promptly take such action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (A) to collect the Subordinated Debt for the account of the Secured Parties and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Debt, (B) to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such powers of attorney, assignments, or other instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to enable the Administrative Agent to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any security interests and other liens securing payment of, the Subordinated Debt, and (C) to collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinated Debt.

(b) All payments or distributions upon or with respect to the Subordinated Debt which are received by each Subordinated Creditor contrary to the provisions of this Intercompany Subordination Agreement shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by such Subordinated Creditor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Parties in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 4. Rights of Subrogation. Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that no payment or distribution to the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties pursuant to the provisions of this Intercompany Subordination Agreement shall entitle such Subordinated Creditor to exercise any right of subrogation in respect thereof until the Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made). Upon the payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made), each Subordinated Creditor shall be entitled to exercise in full any subrogated rights it may possess with respect to the rights of the Secured Parties to receive payments or distributions with respect to the Obligations until the Subordinated Debt shall be paid in full. If any payment or distribution to which any Subordinated Creditor would otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of this Intercompany Subordination Agreement shall have been applied pursuant to the provisions hereof to the payment of Obligations, such Subordinated Creditor shall be entitled to receive from the Secured Parties any payments or distributions received by the Secured Parties in excess of the amount sufficient to pay in full all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made). If any such excess payment is made to the Secured Parties, the Secured Parties shall promptly remit such excess to such

G-3

Subordinated Creditor and until so remitted shall hold such excess payment for the benefit of such Subordinated Creditor.

SECTION 5. Further Assurances. Each Subordinated Creditor and each Obligor will, at its expense and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in writing, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent or any Secured Parties to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.

SECTION 6. Agreements in Respect of Subordinated Debt. No Subordinated Creditor will sell, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Subordinated Debt unless such sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or disposition is made subject to this Intercompany Subordination Agreement.

SECTION 7. Agreement by the Obligors. Each Obligor agrees that it will not make any payment of any of the Subordinated Debt, or take any other action, in each case, if such payment or other action would be in contravention of the provisions of this Intercompany Subordination Agreement.

Re:	Diamond Resorts Corporation $25,000,000 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and $445,000,000 Senior Secured Term Loan Facility (collectively, the “Facility”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Diamond Resorts Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), Diamond Resorts Holdings, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Holdings”), Diamond Resorts International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), each of the direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries of the Company (each, a “Subsidiary, and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), which are guaranteeing the payment and performance of the Obligations, as indicated on Schedule 2 (and, together with Parent and Holdings, each, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), in connection with that certain Credit Agreement dated as of May 9, 2014 (the “Agreement”) among the Company, Parent, the Lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse AG, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, governing the extension of credit under the Facility by the Lenders to and for the benefit of the Company, as described in the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents itemized on Schedule 3 attached hereto and made a part hereof (collectively, the “Transaction”). This opinion is being rendered at the request of the Company, together with Holdings, Parent and the other Guarantors (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) and is being delivered pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(i) of the Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Agreement or the Security Agreement, as defined below, as applicable.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined copies or forms of each of the Transaction Documents, each dated, unless otherwise noted, as of the date hereof.

We have examined the original or certified copies of those limited liability company, partnership, corporate and other records, agreements and instruments of the Loan Parties, certificates of public officials and of officers and other representatives of the Loan Parties, and such other documents and records, and those matters of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. The partnership agreements, limited liability company agreements, certificates or articles of incorporation or formation, by-laws, operating agreements and the other organizational documents of the Loan Parties, including those listed on Schedule 4, are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Organizational Documents.” As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established by us, relied upon the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in the Transaction Documents.

In making such examination, with your permission, we have assumed:


(i)	the genuineness of all signatures other than those of the Loan Parties;


(ii)	all natural persons who are signatories to the Transaction Documents have sufficient legal competency to enter into and perform their respective obligations thereunder; and the copies of all documents submitted to us are accurate and complete and conform to originals;


(iii)	that each of the parties to the Transaction Documents (other than the Loan Parties) has the power to enter into and perform each of its respective obligations thereunder;


(iv)	the due authorization, execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by each of the parties thereto (other than the Loan Parties);


(v)	the accuracy of representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Transaction Documents as to factual matters only (and not as to legal conclusions);


(vi)	the conduct of the parties to the Transaction Documents complies with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing, conscionability and commercial reasonableness;


(vii)	there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence with respect to any party.

We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York including, without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “NY-UCC”), the Limited Liability Company Act as in effect in the State of Delaware, the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act as in effect in the State of Delaware, the General Corporation Law as in effect in the State of Delaware, the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware (the “DE-UCC”; and the NY-UCC and the DE-UCC are hereinafter collectively referred to as the

“UCC”) and federal statutes of the United States (collectively, the “Subject Laws”). As to all matters regarding the existence and good standing of Loan Parties organized under the laws of the States of Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, Maryland, Missouri and Washington, we have relied upon the applicable Organizational Documents of such Loan Party. As to all matters regarding the laws of the States of Maryland, California, Arizona and Nevada, we have relied exclusively, without further investigation, upon the opinion of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP, dated as of the date hereof, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. As to all matters regarding the laws of the State of Florida, we have relied exclusively, without further investigation, upon the opinion of Holland & Knight, dated as of the date hereof, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. As to all matters regarding the laws of the State of Hawaii, we have relied exclusively, without further investigation, upon the opinion of Imanaka Xxxxx LLC, dated as of the date hereof, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C. As to all matters regarding the laws of the State of Missouri, we have relied exclusively, without further investigation, upon the opinion of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx LLC, dated as of the date hereof, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D. The opinions attached as Exhibits A through D are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Local Opinions.”

We have reviewed and have relied upon, and assume for all purposes of this opinion the completeness and accuracy of, National Corporate Research, Ltd.’s and CT Lien Solutions’s lien search reports for the Loan Parties (collectively, the “UCC Search Reports”), which were ordered by the Loan Parties. We confirm that the UCC Search Reports set forth the proper filing offices as to each Loan Party and the proper debtors (which we assume are only the Loan Parties) necessary to identify those persons who, under the applicable UCC, have on file financing statements against the searched parties covering the Collateral as of various dates through the date hereof. We confirm that the UCC Search Reports identify no Person that filed any such financing statement describing any collateral that does or could include the Collateral except as set forth in the summary of the various financing statements and secured parties attached hereto as Exhibit E (collectively, the “Filed Statements”).

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the comments and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

The Company is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland. Parent is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Holdings is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. Each other Loan Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of formation, as delineated in Schedule 2. Each Loan Party has all necessary corporate, partnership or limited liability power and authority to execute and deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.

Each Loan Party is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, to transact business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, other than jurisdictions in which the failure so to qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the performance by it of its obligations thereunder, the obtaining of credit thereunder, the guarantee of the Obligations and the grant of security interests pursuant to the Transaction Documents do not (a) violate the Organizational Documents of such Loan Party, (b) violate any law, rule or regulation of the United States of America, the State of New York or the respective jurisdiction of organization of each Loan Party that we, in the exercise of customary professional diligence, would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to the Loan Parties or the Transaction, or generally applicable to transactions similar to the Transaction, or (c) to our knowledge, result in a breach of or a default under any provision of any indenture or other agreement or instrument evidencing indebtedness, or any other agreement or instrument to which such Loan Party is a party or by which any of its assets are bound.

None of the Loan Parties is in violation of its respective charter or by-laws or in default (or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would be in default) under any existing obligation agreement, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, loan agreement, mortgage, lease or other agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or by which any of them is bound or to which any of the properties of any of them is subject, except such defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Transaction Documents have each been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is a party thereto. Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject in each case to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing), regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

The execution and delivery by each Guarantor of the Guarantee Agreement and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all corporate, partnership or limited liability company action on the part of such Guarantor and has been duly executed and delivered by such Guarantor. The Guarantee of each Guarantor constitutes valid and legally binding obligations of such Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

The execution and delivery by each of the Company and each Guarantor of the Security Agreement, the performance of its obligations thereunder and the grant of security interests pursuant thereto have been duly authorized by all corporate, partnership or limited liability company action on the part of the Company and each of the Guarantors and constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company and each of the Guarantors enforceable against the Company and each of the Guarantors, in accordance with its terms and entitled to the benefits and security provided by the Transaction Documents. The Security Agreement, when duly executed and delivered, will create valid and (when all required filings and recordings with respect to, and deliveries of, Collateral have been made as described in the Security Agreement) perfected security interests in the Collateral (subject to the exceptions contemplated or permitted by the Agreement and the Security Agreement). Upon timely delivery to the Collateral Agent of the Pledged Securities (to the extent not previously delivered to the Collateral Agent) in the State of New York, endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers endorsed to the Collateral Agent or in blank, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, will have a security interest in the Pledged Securities perfected by control of the Pledged Securities under the NY-UCC. Upon the execution and delivery of the Security Agreement the Collateral Agent will have, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in the Pledged Securities perfected by control of such Pledged Securities under the NY-UCC.

The execution and delivery by each of the Loan Parties of the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (other than the Security Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement) to which it is a party, the performance of its obligations thereunder and the grant of security interests pursuant to such Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all corporate, partnership or limited liability action on the part of such Loan Party. The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantors.

Each of the Financing Statements attached hereto in Annex A to be filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware is in proper form for filing with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware. The filing of the Financing Statements in the office of the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware are the only filings necessary to perfect by filing the security interest in those items of the Collateral covered by Article 9 of the DE-UCC as described in such Financing Statement which is owned by the applicable Delaware-formed Loan Party.

No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any person (including any governmental agency or body or any court) is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in connection with the Transaction, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders and registrations or qualifications (i) as have been obtained on or prior to the Closing Date or (ii) with respect to the perfection of security interests in the Collateral.

Assuming that the Company complies with the provisions of the Agreement relating to the use of proceeds of Loans under the Facility, the execution and delivery of the Agreement by the Company and Parent and the extension of credit under the Agreement and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

None of the Loan Parties is, and after giving effect to the making and borrowing of Loans under the Facility and the application of the proceeds thereof, no Loan Party shall be an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

To our knowledge, other than as set forth in the schedules to the Transaction Documents, there are no pending actions, suits or proceedings against or affecting the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that, if determined adversely to the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries, would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, or would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company or the Guarantors to perform their obligations under the Transaction Documents or which are otherwise material in the context of the Transaction; and no such actions, suits or proceedings are threatened or, to our knowledge, contemplated.

To our knowledge, the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, or, except for the Security Agreement, result in the imposition of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries pursuant to the charter or by-laws of the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries, any statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries or any of their properties or any material agreement or instrument to which the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the properties of the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries is subject, or the charter or by-laws of the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries.

To our knowledge, the Company, the Guarantors and their respective subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all real properties and all other properties and assets owned by them, in each case free from liens, charges, encumbrances and defects that would materially affect the value thereof or materially interfere with the use made or to be made thereof by them, except (i) as disclosed in the schedules to the Transaction Documents, (ii) as created pursuant to the Security Agreement or (iii) liens permitted under the Agreement and the Security Agreement; and, except as disclosed in the schedule to the Transaction Documents, the Company, the Guarantors and their respective subsidiaries hold any leased real or personal property under valid and enforceable leases with no terms or provisions that would materially interfere with the use made, or to be made, thereof by them.

All the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary of the Company have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and all of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries are owned directly or indirectly by the Company, free and clear of any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, restriction on voting or transfer or any other claim of any third party, except for those created pursuant to the Security Agreement and as disclosed in the schedules to the Transaction Documents.

The opinions expressed in Paragraph 5(b) are subject to the following additional qualifications:

We call your attention to the fact that the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral may be subject to the rights of account debtors in respect of the Collateral, claims and defenses of such account debtors and the terms of agreements with such account debtors.

We have assumed that none of the Collateral arises or will arise under agreements that prohibit, restrict or condition the assignment of any portion of the Collateral. We express no opinion as to the effect of any such prohibitions, restrictions or conditions on assignment contained in any account, lease, instrument, chattel paper, payment intangible, health care receivable or letter of credit right. We note that any such prohibition or restriction is subject to the provisions of Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 and 9-409 of the applicable UCC.

The opinions expressed above are, in addition to any other assumptions, comments or qualification set forth in this letter, subject to the following qualifications and comments:

There may be possible limitations imposed by law (together with associated delays and costs of enforcement) upon the exercise of certain provisions of any or all of the Transaction Documents, provided that such limitations do not, in our opinion, make the remedies and provisions (taken as a whole) contained in the Transaction Documents invalid as a whole or, subject to increased costs and

delay that may be occasioned by such limitations, rendered inadequate for the practical realization of the material rights and benefits afforded thereby.

We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any rights to contribution or indemnification provided for in the Transaction Documents which are violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation).

In connection with our opinions expressed in Paragraph 5(b) above, the provisions of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code would prevent the Collateral Agent from extending its security interest to property acquired by any Loan Party after the commencement by or against such Loan Party of a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code, unless such property constitutes proceeds, products, offspring, rents or profits of property owned by such Loan Party, prior to commencement of any such case.

Continuation of the validity, perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in proceeds of any Collateral is limited to the extent set forth in Section 9-315 of the UCC.

Article 9 of the UCC requires the filing of continuation statements within specified periods prior to the expiration of five years from the date of the original filing in order to maintain the perfection of the filings referred to in Paragraph 5(b).

In the case of Collateral acquired by any Loan Party more than a specified period after such Loan Party changes its name, identity or corporate structure as to make UCC Financing Statements seriously misleading, the security interest will not be perfected or have priority unless new appropriate financing statements indicating the new name, identity or corporate structure of the appropriate Loan Party are properly filed before the expiration of such specified period.

Except as provided in the opinions expressed in Paragraphs 5(b), 5(d) and 11 above, no opinion is expressed as to the creation, attachment, perfection or priority of any lien or security interest or as to title to any real or personal property.

In Paragraphs 3, 9, 10, and 11 of this opinion, when we indicate that our opinion is based on our knowledge, our opinion is based solely on (x) the current actual knowledge of the attorneys currently with this Firm who have participated in our representation of the Loan Parties, and (y) the representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Transaction Documents as to factual matters and not as to legal conclusions. We have made no independent investigation as to any such factual matters (however we know of no facts which lead us to believe that such factual matters are untrue or inaccurate).

Other than as specifically set forth herein, we express no opinion with respect to federal or state taxation, antitrust, money laundering, pension or employee benefit, insurance, securities or so-called “Blue-Sky” laws.

The Security Agreement provides that all references to the Uniform Commercial Code shall mean the New York UCC. In addition, the Transaction Documents purport to be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Notwithstanding the choice of law in the Transaction Documents, (1) our opinion in paragraph 8 is given as if the Arizona UCC, the California UCC, the Maryland UCC and the Nevada UCC govern the Security Agreement and Arizona Financing Statements, the Security Agreement and California Financing Statements, the Security Agreement and Maryland Financing Statement and the Security Agreement and Nevada Financing Statements, respectively, and (2) all other opinions herein are provided under the Covered Laws only. Further, we assume that the result of the application of New York law as specified in the Transaction Documents will not be contrary to a fundamental policy of the law of any other state with which the parties may have material or relevant contact in connection with the

DMWEST #10753369 v8

The Parties on Attached Exhibit A

transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and as to which there is a materially greater interest in determining an issue of the choice of law.

In making such examination, with your permission, we have assumed:

(vii)	that all natural persons who are signatories to the Documents have sufficient legal competency to enter into and perform their respective obligations thereunder;


(viii)	that the copies of all documents (including without limitation drafts of the Transaction Documents) submitted to us are accurate and complete and conform exactly to the final executed originals of all such documents;


(ix)	that each of the parties to the Transaction Documents (other than the Borrower and the Covered Guarantor Entities) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such party is organized, and has the power and authority to enter into and perform each of its respective obligations thereunder;


(x)	the due execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by each of the parties thereto (other than the Borrower and the Covered Guarantor Entities);

(xii)	that the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by each of the parties to the Transaction Documents (other than the Borrower and the Covered Guarantor Entities) will not violate the Organizational Documents of such entity;


(xiii)	the accuracy of representations and warranties of the Borrower and the Covered Guarantor Entities set forth in the Transaction Documents as to factual matters only (and not as to legal conclusions); and that the conduct of the parties to the Transaction Documents complies with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing, conscionability and commercial reasonableness;


(xiv)	that there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence with respect to any party;

(xv)

that (i) each of the Secured Parties (as defined below) has given adequate value for the liens and security interests granted by the Borrower and the Covered Guarantor Entities under the Transaction Documents, (ii) the security interests granted by the Borrower and the Covered Guarantor Entities under the Transaction Documents have been properly created, (iii) each of the debtors named in the Financing Statements owns the collateral described in such Financing Statements, has good title to such collateral, such collateral exists and each such debtor has, or has the power to transfer, rights within the meaning of the Applicable UCC (as defined below) in such collateral, (iv) the descriptions of the collateral in, or attached as schedules to, the Financing Statements, sufficiently describe the collateral intended to be covered by the Financing Statements, (v) each debtor named

The Parties on Attached Exhibit A

in the Financing Statements is organized solely under the state of its organization as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, as the case may be, (vi) the MD Corporate Entity is not a “transmitting utility” as defined in Section 9-102 of the Maryland UCC, (vii) the Financing Statements will be duly and properly filed in the applicable Filing Office, and (viii) the Financing Statements accurately state the correct name of the Secured Party and the correct address of the Secured Party from which information concerning the security interest to be perfected thereby may be obtained; and


(xvi)	the NV Corporate Entities and NV LLC Entities do not engage in the business of gaming, liquor, financial institutions, public utilities, insurance or cemeteries.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the comments and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

1.Based solely on the applicable Organizational Documents and the respective Good Standing Certificates, each of the AZ Corporate Entity, the CA Corporate Entities, the MD Corporate Entity and the NV Corporate Entities is duly incorporated and validly existing as a corporation and in good standing under the laws of the States of Arizona, California, Maryland, and Nevada, respectively, with full power to own its existing properties and conduct its business pursuant to its respective Organizational Documents as identified on Schedule 2.

2.Based solely on the applicable Organizational Documents and the respective Good Standing Certificates, each of the CA LLC Entities and the NV LLC Entities is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the States of California and Nevada, respectively, with full power to own its existing properties and conduct its business pursuant to its respective Organizational Documents as identified on Schedule 2.

3.Each of the Borrower and each Covered Guarantor Entity has all necessary corporate or limited liability company (as applicable) power and authority to execute and deliver and perform its respective obligations under each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

4.Based solely on the respective Good Standing Certificates, each Covered Entity is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or foreign limited liability company, as applicable, to transact business and is in good standing in the jurisdictions set forth on Schedule 3 next to each Covered Entity.

5.The execution and delivery by each of the Borrower and each Covered Guarantor Entity of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or limited liability company (as applicable) action on the part of the Borrower and each Covered Guarantor Entity.

6.The execution and delivery by each of the Borrower and each Covered Guarantor Entity of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, as of the date hereof: (a) violate the applicable Organizational Documents of the Borrower or such Covered Guarantor Entity, (b) to our knowledge, violate any Covered Law that we have, in the exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as being directly applicable to the Borrower or such Covered Guarantor Entity or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or (c) violate any judgment, order or decree of any Arizona, California, Maryland or Nevada court or regulatory authority known to us and applicable by name to the Covered Entities.

7.To our knowledge, no consent or approval of, or notice to or filing with, any state regulatory authority is required by the Borrower or any Covered Guarantor Entity under the Covered Laws to which the Borrower or such Covered Guarantor Entity is subject to in connection with the execution and delivery by the Borrower or such Covered Guarantor Entity of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party other than (i) those that have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect or as to which the failure to be made or obtained or to be in full force and effect would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) such registrations, filings or approvals that may be required in order to perfect or record security interests granted under the Security Agreement.

8.Each Financing Statement attached hereto in Annex 1 is in proper form for filing in the applicable Filing Office (as defined in the Applicable UCC) in the State of Arizona, the State of California, the State of Maryland and the State of Nevada, as applicable.

For purposes of the opinions given in this paragraph 8, “Secured Parties” shall mean collectively the secured parties named in the Financing Statements.

The “California Financing Statements” shall mean the financing statements attached hereto in Annex 1 naming the CA Corporate Entities and the CA LLC Entities as debtor. The “Maryland Financing Statement” shall mean the financing statement attached hereto in Annex 1 naming the MD Corporate Entity as debtor. The “Nevada Financing Statements” shall mean the financing statements attached hereto in Annex 1 naming the NV Corporate Entities and the NV LLC Entities as debtor. “Financing Statements” shall mean collectively, the Arizona Financing Statement, the California Financing Statements, the Maryland Financing Statement and the Nevada Financing Statements. The term “Applicable UCC” shall mean (i) the Arizona UCC for the Security Agreement and the AZ Financing Statement, (ii) the California UCC for the Security Agreement and the California Financing Statements, (iii) the Maryland UCC for the Security Agreement and the Maryland Financing Statement and (iv) the Nevada UCC for the Security Agreement and the Nevada Financing Statements.

(a) Upon the filing and acceptance of the Arizona Financing Statement with the Arizona Secretary of State, the security interest in the collateral described in the Security Agreement in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the Arizona UCC and perfected by the filing of a financing statement under Article 9 of the Arizona UCC will be perfected;

(b) Upon the filing and acceptance of the California Financing Statements with the California Secretary of State, the security interest in the collateral described in the Security Agreement in which a security interest may be created under Division 9 of the California UCC and perfected by the filing of a financing statement under Division 9 of the California UCC will be perfected;

The opinions given above in this paragraph 8 with respect to the perfection of security interests under the Security Agreement are subject to the following exceptions:


(1)	in the case of property as to which the security interest attaches after the date hereof, Section 552 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code limits the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code may be subject to a security interest arising from a security agreement entered into by the debtor before the commencement of such case;


(2)	the Secured Parties’ security interest will terminate upon a disposition authorized by the Secured Parties as to such disposed property;


(3)	in the case of any interest in or claim in or under any policy of insurance, the Secured Parties’ security interest is limited to proceeds payable to the each of the debtors named therein and not to any other party named as loss payee under such policies;


(4)	continued perfection of any security interest in proceeds is subject to Section 9-315 of the Applicable UCC;


(5)	in the case of any collateral consisting of goods, the Secured Parties’ security interest is subject to the rights of buyers of the goods under Section 9-320 of the Applicable UCC and the rights of lessees of the goods under Section 9-321 of the Applicable UCC;


(6)	in the case of any collateral consisting of general intangibles, the Secured Parties’ security interest is subject to the rights of licensees in the ordinary course of business under Section 9-321 of the Applicable UCC; and

(7)

the continued perfection of the security interests perfected by the filing of the Financing Statements will depend upon the filing of periodic continuation statements relating to the Financing Statements in accordance with the Applicable UCC, and may depend upon (x) the continued formation of the Borrower and each Covered Guarantor Entity in its applicable state of formation, and (y) the continuation of the Borrower’s and each Covered Guarantor Entity’s present name.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following exceptions, limitations and qualifications:

(a)Our opinion is subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, marshalling or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally; general principles of equity, including without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

possession of any collateral in any manner other than peaceably and by reason of the peaceable surrender of such possession by the applicable party or by reason of appropriate judicial proceedings; (iv) purports to require that waivers must be in writing to the extent that an oral agreement or implied agreement by trade practice or course of conduct modifying provisions of the Transaction Documents has been made; (v) purports to be a waiver of the right to a jury trial, a waiver of any right to object to jurisdiction or venue, a waiver of any right to claim damages or to service of process or a waiver of any other rights or benefits bestowed by operation of law or the waiver of which is limited by applicable law; (vi) purports to be a waiver of the obligations of good faith, fair dealing, diligence, mitigation of damages or commercial reasonableness; (vii) purports to exculpate any party from its own negligent acts or limit any party from certain liabilities; (viii) purports to entitle the Secured Parties to the appointment of a receiver as a matter of right; (ix) purports to require the payment of attorneys’ fees to the extent such fees exceed reasonable attorneys’ fees or exceed amount permitted under Applicable Laws; or (x) purports to authorize the Secured Parties to set off and apply any deposits at any time held, and any other indebtedness at any time owing, by the Secured Parties to or for the account of any party or which purports to provide that any purchaser of a participation from the Secured Parties may exercise setoff or similar rights with respect to such participation.

(c)We express no opinion as to the application or requirements of federal or state securities, patent, trademark, copyright, antitrust and unfair competition, pension or employee benefit, labor, environmental, health and safety, tax or bankruptcy laws.

(d)Except as set forth in our opinion paragraph 8 above, we express no opinion as to the attachment, creation, perfection or priority of any security interests.

Re:	Diamond Resorts Corporation $25,000,000 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and $445,000,00 Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility (collectively, the "Facility ")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Florida counsel to Diamond Resorts International Club, Inc., a Florida corporation ("DRIC"); MMG Development Corp., a Florida corporation ("MMG"), Crescent One, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, Island One, Inc., a Florida corporation, Island One Resorts Management Corporation, a Florida corporation, Galaxy Exchange Company, a Florida corporation, Florida Diamond Resorts Management, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and Navigo Vacation Club, Inc., a Florida corporation (collectively the "Loan Parties" and individually, a "Loan Party"), in connection with the Facility and the transactions (collectively, the “Transaction”) described in that certain Credit Agreement dated as of May 9, 2014 (the "Agreement"), by and among Diamond Resorts Corporation ("DRC"), Diamond Resorts International, Inc. ("Resorts"), the lenders, from time to time party thereto (the "Lenders") and Credit Suisse; as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Agreement.

This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.02(b) of the Agreement.

In rendering this Opinion, we have examined the originals or certified, conformed or reproduced copies of the following documents:


1.	the Agreement;


2.	Form of UCC-1 Financing Statements (the "Financing Statements") to show each Loan Party, respectively, as debtor, to be filed with the Florida Secretary of State's Secured Transaction Registry (copies attached as Exhibit "B");


3.	the Security Agreement dated May 9, 2014 by and among DRC, Resorts, and Credit Suisse AG, as Collateral Agent;


4.	the Guarantee Agreement dated May 9, 2014 by and among DRC, Resorts, Subsidiaries of

Holdings, and Credit Suisse AG, as Administrative Agent;


5.	the Trademark Security Agreement, dated May 9, 2014, by and among DRC, Holdings, Subsidiary Guarantors, and Credit Suisse, as Collateral Agent;


6.	the Intercompany Subordination Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2014, by and among the Subordinated Creditors (as defined therein), each Obligor (as defined therein) and Credit Suisse AG, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent; and


7.	the Officer's Certificate of DRC, dated May 9, 2014 and executed by Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, as President and Chief Executive Officer (the "Officer's Certificate")

The documents listed above in items 1 through 6 are collectively referred to herein as the "Documents".

We have examined and relied upon, without investigation or inquiry, a copy of the Officer's Certificate and copies of those corporate resolutions and other records of the Loan Parties attached thereto, certificates of public officials and those matters of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. The certificates of incorporation or formation, by-laws and other organizational documents of the Loan Parties identified in exhibits to the Officer's Certificate are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Organizational Documents.” As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established by us, relied upon the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in the Documents.

For purposes of this Opinion, we have assumed (a) the capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the due authorization (other than by the Loan Parties), execution, and delivery by the parties thereto of all Documents referenced herein, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, (b) that the Loan Parties have obtained all required licenses and permits to operate their respective businesses, and that all such licenses and permits are in full force and effect, (c) that the Organizational Documents are correct and complete, have not been further amended, and are in full force and effect as of the date hereof, (d) that descriptions of collateral in the Financing Statements (and any schedules thereto) are accurate and sufficiently describe the property intended to be covered thereby, (e) the proper filing and indexing of the Financing Statements in the Secured Transaction Registry of the Florida Secretary of State, and (f) that all representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the comments and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:


1.	Each of the Loan Parties is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation or limited liability company under the laws of the State of Florida. Based solely on the certificates attached hereto as Schedule "1", DRIC is qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation in the states of Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, N

ebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Hawaii, Virginia and West Virginia. Based solely on the certificates attached hereto as Schedule "2", MMG is qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation in the states of Missouri and Tennessee. Each Loan Party has (i) all necessary corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, power and authority to execute and deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder, (ii) full corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, power to own, lease, and operate its property and transact its business, and (iii) authorized the execution, delivery and performance of the Documents to which it is a party by all necessary corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, action. Each of the Documents to which any Loan Party is a party constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party.

The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Documents to which it is a party, the performance by it of its obligations thereunder and the grant by it of security interests pursuant to the Documents do not violate (a) the Organizational Documents of such Loan Party, (b) any law, rule or regulation of the State of Florida that we, in the exercise of customary professional diligence, would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to such Loan Party or the Transaction, or generally applicable to transactions similar to the Transaction, or (c) to our actual knowledge, without inquiry or investigation, any judgment, order or decree of any Florida court that is binding upon such Loan Party.

Each Financing Statement attached hereto in Exhibit "B" is in proper form for filing in Florida. Assuming the debtor has effectively granted a security interest to the secured party, upon the proper filing of the Financing Statements with the Secretary of the State of Florida, a security interest in that Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement with the Secretary of the State of Florida under the Florida UCC will be perfected. The filing of the Financing Statements in the office of the Secretary of the State of Florida are the only filings necessary to perfect by filing the security interest in those items of the Collateral covered by Article 9 of the Florida UCC as described in such Financing Statements which is owned by the Loan Party.

To our actual knowledge, without inquiry or investigation, no consent, authorization, or approval of, or notice to, with, or by any Federal or Florida governmental or regulatory body by or on behalf of the Loan Parties is required to make valid and legally binding the execution and delivery by each of the Loan Parties of the Documents to which it is respectively a party and the performance of its respective obligations thereunder. We note that the Financing Statements will need to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida in connection with the perfection of security interests granted pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

This Opinion is subject to the following limitations, qualifications, exceptions, confirmations and exclusions:


1.	We express no opinion as to the effect of, or compliance with, any laws, rules, regulations or policies (collectively referred to herein as “Regulatory Matters”) related to (i) taxation, (ii) land use, (iii) zoning, (iv) the environment, (v) health and safety (e.g., OSHA), (vi)

building codes, (vii) human disabilities, (viii) transportation, (ix) communication, (x) banking, (xi) securities, including state “Blue Sky” laws and regulations, and laws and regulations relating to commodity (and other) futures and indices and other similar instruments, (xii) Federal Reserve Board margin regulations, (xiii) labor matters, or pension and employee benefits (e.g., ERISA), (xiv) antitrust and unfair competition, (xv) filing and notice requirements (e.g., Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx and Exon-Xxxxxx), other than requirements applicable to charter-related documents such as a certificate of merger, (xvi) compliance with fiduciary duty requirements, (xvii) statutes and ordinances, the administrative decisions, and the rules and regulations of counties, towns, municipalities and special political subdivisions, (xviii) fraudulent transfers and fraudulent conveyances, (xix) patent, copyright and trademark, and other intellectual property matters, (xx) racketeering laws and regulations (e.g. RICO) and (xxi) national security and local emergency.


2.	Nothing herein shall be deemed an opinion as to whether the Loan Parties have all necessary licenses, permits and approvals to conduct their respective businesses.

Any reference herein to our "knowledge” (or similar reference) means to the actual knowledge of attorneys of this firm who have devoted substantive attention to this Opinion and the Transaction and not the knowledge of employees of this firm or the knowledge of other partners who may have represented any of the clients identified herein or their affiliates in any matters other than the Transaction. Further, the knowledge of the attorneys of this firm who have devoted substantive attention to this Opinion and the Transaction does not include constructive notice of matters or information contained in any public records not otherwise specifically identified herein.

Very truly yours,

Re:	Diamond Resorts Corporation $25,000,000 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and $445,000,000 Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility (collectively the “Facility”)

This opinion letter (“Opinion”) is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.02(b) of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with this Opinion, we have examined the following documents:

A.the Revolving Promissory Note dated as of May 9, 2014, made by Borrower in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.;


B.	the Credit Agreement;

C.the Guarantee Agreement dated as of May 9, 2014, among the Borrower, Holdings, each Subsidiary Guarantor (including the Company) and Administrative Agent (“Guarantee Agreement”);

D.the Security Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2014, among the Borrower, Holdings, each Subsidiary Guarantor (including the Company) and the Collateral Agent (the “Security Agreement”);

E.the Intercompany Subordination Agreement dated as of May 9, 2014, among the Borrower, Holdings, the other Guarantors (including the Company) party thereto, and the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties;

F.the Trademark Security Agreement dated as of May 9, 2014, among the Borrower, Holdings, each Subsidiary Guarantor (including the Company) and the Collateral Agent;

G.the UCC financing statement for the Company attached in Annex A hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Financing Statement”);

H.the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Company dated December 30, 2005 (the “Partnership Agreement”), and the Certificate of Limited Partnership filed on October 27, 1994 at the State of Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Business Registration Division, as amended (“Certificate of Limited Partnership”);

I.the Certificate of the Company ( the “Certificate”) certifying that the Partnership Agreement is true, correct and complete and is in full force and effect on the date of the Certificate as well as other matters necessary to permit the issuance of the opinion contained herein; and

J.such other records, agreements, certificates and documents that we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed herein.

The documents itemized in Sections A. through G. above are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.”

In making such examination, with your permission, we have assumed the following:


a.	the genuineness of all signatures;

b. that all natural persons who are signatories to the Transaction Documents have sufficient legal competency to enter into and perform their respective obligations thereunder; and the copies of all documents submitted to us are accurate and complete and conform to originals;

c. that each of the parties to the Transaction Documents (other than the Company) has the power to enter into and perform each of its respective obligations thereunder;

d. the due authorization, execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by each of the parties thereto (other than the Company);

e. the accuracy of representations and warranties of the parties set forth in the Transaction Documents as to factual matters only (and not as to legal conclusions);

f. the conduct of the parties to the Transaction Documents complies with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing, conscionability and commercial reasonableness;

g. there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence with respect to any party;

h. The Company has “rights” (within the meaning of the UCC, as hereinafter defined) in the “Collateral” and in the “Pledged Collateral” described (and as defined) in the Security Agreement, respectively; and

i. All of the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) which has been certificated (the “Pledged Stock”) (together with executed stock powers in blank) has been delivered to the Collateral Agent and will be continuously in the possession of the Collateral Agent and the interest in the applicable entities represented by the Pledged Stock shall at all times be represented by the certificated securities delivered to the Collateral Agent.

We have further assumed that all statements of fact in the Certificate that has been delivered to us and expressly permits our reliance thereon, copies of which have been delivered to you, and all statements, representations, and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents, are true, complete, and not misleading and that all statements and assumptions of fact set forth therein and herein remain true and valid as of the date hereof. Based on such assumptions, we have generally relied, without independent investigation on our part, on the accuracy and completeness of such statements, representations, and warranties as to factual matters and on the agreements and covenants made by the parties in the Transaction Documents. Furthermore, none of the factual matters dealt with in the Certificate have been independently established or verified by us.

Although we have, with your consent, relied on certain assumptions set forth above based on the Certificate and other materials, we have done so in good faith, and we are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause us to conclude that reliance on such assumptions or such materials, without further inquiry or investigation, is unreasonable.

All assumptions made in connection with this Opinion have been made: (a) without independent investigation or confirmation on our part; and (b) with the express consent and approval of the parties to whom this Opinion is addressed, such consent and approval being evidenced by their acceptance of this Opinion.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the additional qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a limited partnership duly created and validly existing and, based solely on the Certificate of Good Standing dated April 10, 2014, in good standing under the laws of the State of Hawaii, and has full limited partnership power to own, lease and operate its property and transact its business, and has full limited partnership power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents.

2. The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder, including the Company’s guarantee of the Obligations and grant of the security interest contained in the Transaction Documents, has been duly authorized by all requisite limited partnership action on the part of the Company. The Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Company. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company.

3. The execution and delivery by the Company of each Transaction Document to which it is a party and the performance of the Party’s obligations thereunder will not result in any violation by the Company of (a) any provision of its Certificate of Limited Partnership or Partnership Agreement, (b) any law, rule or regulation of the State of Hawaii, or (c) any judgment, order or decree of any Hawaii court or regulatory authority known by us to be applicable to the Company or its assets or properties.

4. No consent, approval, license or exemption by, or order or authorization of, filing, recording or registration with, or notice to, any State of Hawaii governmental authority or regulatory body is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the Transaction Documents to which they are parties, including the Company’s guarantee of the Obligations and grant of security interests contained in the Transaction Documents, other than (a) those that have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect or as to which the failure to be made or obtained or to be in full force and effect would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or (b) such registrations, filings or approvals that may be required in order to perfect or record security interests granted under the Security Agreement.

5. The Financing Statement attached hereto in Annex A is in proper form for filing in the State of Hawaii. Upon the proper filing of the Financing Statement at the Bureau of Conveyance of the State of Hawaii (“Bureau”), that Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement with said Bureau under the Hawaii Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) will be perfected. The filing of the Financing Statement at said Bureau is the only filings necessary to perfect by filing the security interest in those items of the Collateral covered by Article 9 of the UCC as described in such Financing Statement which may be perfected by filing that are owned by the Company.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to be an opinion as to the following:

a. The existence, status or priority of title to property, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible.

b. The reasonableness of any late charge or liquidated damage provisions.

c. Whether or not the Company has all necessary licenses, permits, and approvals to conduct its business.

d. The waiver of any right of offset.

e. The laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Hawaii.

f. The valid creation or perfection of any lien or security interest in any Collateral other than as specifically stated in Section 5 above.

g. Whether or not the Company has complied with any federal, state, or local zoning ordinances, use restrictions, or similar statutes, ordinances, rules, or regulations.

This Opinion is being furnished by us to you in connection with the transactions described herein and is solely for your benefit and for the benefit of each of your respective successors and assignees, however, it may be relied upon by the law firm of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP with respect to matters concerning Hawaii law to the extent addressed herein, in order to permit Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Rosenman LLP to render its legal opinions in connection with the contemplated transaction.

(vi) the conduct of the parties to the Transaction Documents complies with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing, conscionability and commercial reasonableness;

Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Companies are parties constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Companies.

3.The execution and delivery by the Companies of each Transaction Document to which they are parties and the performance of their obligations thereunder will not result in any violation by the Companies of (a) any provision of their Articles of Organization or LLC Agreements, (b) to our knowledge, any law, rule or regulation of Missouri or (c) any judgment, order or decree of any Missouri court or regulatory authority known by us to be applicable to the Companies or their assets or properties.

under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date hereof in Missouri ("Missouri UCC") will be perfected. The filing of the Financing Statements in the SOS Office are the only filings necessary to perfect by filing the security interest in those items of the Collateral covered by Article 9 of the Missouri UCC as described in such Financing Statements which is owned by the Companies.

The opinions expressed in Paragraphs 5 are subject to the following additional qualifications:

(a) We have assumed that the Collateral exists and that the Companies have sufficient rights in the Collateral for the security interest to attach, and we express no opinion as to the nature or extent of any rights of the Companies in, or title to, any of the Collateral.

(b) Our security interest opinions expressed in Paragraph 5 above are limited to the Missouri UCC and therefore such opinions do not address: (i) laws of jurisdictions other than Missouri; or (ii) collateral of a type not subject to Article 9 of the Missouri UCC.

(c) We express no opinion as to the priority of any security interest given to the Secured Parties under the Transaction Documents.

(d) We call your attention to the fact that the security interest in the Collateral may be subject to the rights of account debtors in respect of the Collateral, claims and defenses of such account debtors and the terms of agreements with such account debtors.

(e) We have assumed that none of the Collateral arises or will arise under agreements that prohibit, restrict or condition the assignment of any portion of the Collateral. We express no opinion as to the effect of any such prohibitions, restrictions or conditions on assignment contained in any account, lease, instrument, chattel paper, payment intangible, health care receivable or letter of credit right. We note that any such prohibition or restriction is subject to the provisions of Sections 400.9-406, 400.9-407, 400.9-408 and 400.9-409 of the Missouri UCC.

The opinions expressed above are, in addition to any other assumptions, comments or qualification set forth in this letter, subject to the following qualifications and comments:

(a) The opinions contained herein are hereby specifically qualified by reference to and are based solely upon laws, rulings and regulations in effect on the date hereof, and are subject to modification to the extent that such laws, rulings and regulations may be changed in the future. In addition, these opinions are limited to the laws of the State of Missouri and we express no opinions as to matters which may be governed by the substantive laws of any state other than Missouri.

(b) We have assumed that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents will be effected in the future in accordance with the terms thereof.

(c) We have assumed that all representations and warranties, and other statements as to factual matters in the Documents, are true and correct as they are set forth in those documents. We have also assumed that any certificate, opinion from another attorney, representation or other document on which we have relied continues to remain accurate, insofar as relevant to the opinions in this letter, from their respective dates through and including the date of this letter.

(d) The legality, validity, binding nature and enforceability of the Transaction Documents is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether the question is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar law from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally. In addition, we express no opinion as to whether a court would grant specific performance or any other equitable remedy with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, or whether a court would grant a particular right or remedy provided therein or at law or in equity.

(e) No opinion is given or expressed, or should any opinion be inferred or implied, as to: (i) the financial ability of the Companies to meet or satisfy their obligations; (ii) the truthfulness, completeness or accuracy of any applications, reports, plans, documents, financial statements or other matters furnished to the Lenders or their agents or representatives by the Companies or by any other party acting by, for, or at the discretion of the Companies or in conjunction with the Credit Agreement as evidenced by the Transaction Documents; and (iii) the truthfulness, completeness or accuracy of any representation, warranty, certification or statement made by the Companies.

(f) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any rights to contribution or indemnification provided for in the Transaction Documents which are violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation).

(g) To the extent that the obligations of the Companies may be dependent upon such matters, we assume for purposes of this opinion that the Lenders are duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their jurisdictions of incorporation or organization.

(h) Continuation of the validity, perfection and priority of the Secured Parties' security interest in proceeds of any Collateral is limited to the extent set forth in Section 400.9-315 of the Missouri UCC.

(i) Article 9 of the Missouri UCC requires the filing of continuation statements within specified periods prior to the expiration of five years from the date of the original filing in order to maintain the perfection of the filings referred to in Paragraph 5.

(j) In the case of Collateral acquired by any Company more than a specified period after such Company changes its name, identity or corporate structure as to make the Financing Statements seriously misleading, the security interest will not be perfected or have priority unless new appropriate financing statements indicating the new name, identity or corporate structure of such Company are properly filed before the expiration of such specified period.
