B. The Borrower, the Existing Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Successor Administrative Agent desire to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in the form of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) on the Restatement Effective Date, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to effectiveness referred to in Section 5 hereof.

On and after the Restatement Effective Date or such later date as the Existing Agent, the Borrower and the Successor Agent shall agree,

(d) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness).

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, when calculating the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the purposes of Section 6.1, the events described in Sections 1.3(b), (c) and (d) above that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.6(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Revolving Credit Loans, Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit F-1, F-2 and F-3, respectively, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount; provided that delivery of such notes shall not be a condition precedent to the making of the Loans on the Closing Date or the Restatement Funding Date.

Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

conditioned upon the effectiveness of other financing, any public offering or any merger, acquisition or divestiture, in which case such notice may be revoked by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date if such condition is not satisfied (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not impair or otherwise limit or reduce the Borrower’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Lenders pursuant to Section 2.19(b) in connection with any such default in making any prepayment as specified in a notice of borrowing that is later revoked); provided, further, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19.

The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 6.5.

(d) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be allocated pro rata among the Tranche A Term Loans, the Tranche B Term Loans, any Other Term Loans and any Extended Term Loans (except to the extent that any Loan Modification Offer for any Extended Term Loans provides that such Extended Term Loans shall participate on a lesser basis or not at all) and applied in direct order of maturity against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Tranche A Term Loans, the Tranche B Term Loans, any Other Term Loans and any applicable Extended Term Loans under

Sections 2.3(a), 2.3(b), 2.3(c) and under the applicable Loan Modification Offer, respectively; provided that in the event there are no Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans Other Term Loans or Extended Term Loans outstanding, mandatory prepayments shall be applied to the prepayment of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (without any accompanying mandatory reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) in direct order of maturity, and second to cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit pro rata. Prepayments of Loans shall in all cases be applied first to Base Rate Loans and second to Eurodollar Loans.

(e) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.10, (i) a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three Business Days’ (but in any event no later than one Business Day’s) prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Loans under this Section 2.10 shall be subject to Section 2.19, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by (except in the case of prepayments of Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans) accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

2.11 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect, from time to time, to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan; provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Eurodollar Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of such then expiring Interest

Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.12 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.13 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) If any Event of Default under Section 7(a) or 7(f) has occurred and is continuing, then, from the date of such Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (i) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.13 plus 2.00% per annum and (ii) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans plus 2.00% per annum.

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) above shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.14 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the

Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.14(a).

2.15 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

2.16 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, and other than with respect to any substituted Lender in accordance with Section 2.22 or as required or permitted under Section 2.20 or 9.21, each borrowing by the Borrower of Loans hereunder, each payment or prepayment of principal in respect of any Loans hereunder, each payment of commitment fees pursuant to this Agreement, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion or continuation of any borrowing of Loans hereunder shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans); provided that the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.16(a) shall not be construed to apply to any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Commitments to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (unless made in accordance with Section 9.6(i) hereto) (as to which the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.16(a) shall apply), made pursuant to and in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any borrowing of Loans to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each

Lender’s percentage of such borrowing of Loans to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letter of Credit.

(b) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Any payment made after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day (or the same Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion). The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days of such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made

available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

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

(i) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any Taxes in connection with this Agreement or any loan, letter of credit or commitment made hereunder or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or change the basis of taxation of payments in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that are the subject of Section 2.18 and the imposition of any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender);

(ii) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any Lender or the Issuing Lender or any office of such Lender or the Issuing Lender (except any such reserve requirement that is included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder); or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, by an amount which such Lender or the Issuing Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing, maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount received or receivable hereunder in respect thereof (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount received or receivable. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing 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 or the Issuing Lender’s capital or liquidity (or on the capital or liquidity of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company) as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to

time, after submission by such Lender or the Issuing Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for such reduction.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender or the Issuing Lender or their respective applicable holding company to the Borrower setting out in reasonable detail the method of determination of such additional amounts (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of amounts payable hereunder.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or the Issuing Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender or the Issuing Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender and the Issuing Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

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

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any

Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) (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 requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including 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 2.18(e)(ii) and (f)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (or, in the case of a Change in Law, any incremental material unreimbursed cost or expense) or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or if such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver such documentation. Upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.18(e). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.18(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification or notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto and from time to time thereafter upon the expiration of the previously delivered form or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, two accurate and complete executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (A) IRS Form W-8BEN or

W-8BEN-E (or the relevant successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the U.S. is a party; (B) IRS Form W-8ECI (or its successor form); (C) IRS Form W-8IMY (or its successor form), together with any required attachments; (D) IRS Form W-8EXP (or its successor form); or (E) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under the Code both, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E and a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the applicable form of Exhibit H; provided that if a 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 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. Any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (at the times and in the manner provided with respect to Foreign Lenders under the preceding sentence) IRS Form W-9 (or its successor form).

(f) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement 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 Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by 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 Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.18(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender 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 by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any interest, penalties or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.18(g), in no event will the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph if the payment of such amount would place the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. Nothing in this Section 2.18(g) shall be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender to make available its Tax

returns or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential to the Borrower or any other Person.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, as of the Restatement Funding Date, the Tranche A Term Loans issued on the Closing Date shall continue to, and the Tranche B Loan Terms issued on the Restatement Funding Date shall not, qualify as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i) or 1.1471-2T(b)(2)(i).

(i) Barclays, as Administrative Agent, and any successor or supplemental Administrative Agent that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code, shall deliver to the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement, two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, with the effect that the Borrower may make payments to the Administrative Agent, to the extent such payments are received by the Administrative Agent as an intermediary, without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States.

2.19 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender may reasonably sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.20 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled, (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as

required by law and (c) 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 Base Rate Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.19.

2.21 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.17, 2.18(a) or 2.20 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18(a) or 2.20. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

2.22 Substitution of Lenders. Upon the receipt by the Borrower from any Lender of a claim under Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.20, or upon receipt by the Borrower of written notice that any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender in accordance with the provisions set forth in the definition of “Defaulting Lender”, or if any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of all Lenders directly affected thereby and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, the Borrower may: (a) request one more of the other Lenders to acquire and assume all or part of such Lender’s Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Revolving Credit Commitment; or (b) replace such Lender by designating another Lender or a financial institution that is willing to acquire such Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and assume such Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default (other than, in the case of the replacement of a Defaulting Lender, as a result of the failure of the Borrower to satisfy its cash collateralization obligations pursuant to Section 2.31(a)(ii)) shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, accrued interest, fees and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement (including all amounts then owing to such replaced Lender pursuant to Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.20 and, if applicable, the prepayment fee pursuant to Section 2.3(d) (with such assignment being deemed to be a voluntary prepayment for purposes of determining the applicability of Section 2.9, such amount to be payable by the Borrower)), (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.19 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, and (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (provided that the Borrower or replacement Lender shall be obligated to pay the registration

and processing fee except in the case of a Defaulting Lender). Each of the Issuing Lender and 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 the Issuing Lender or such Lender, as the case may be, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of the Issuing Lender’s or such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.22. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

2.23 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 2.26(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (the letters of credit issued on and after the Closing Date, together with the Existing Letters of Credit, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit, and no Revolving Credit Lender shall have any obligations to participate in any Letter of Credit, if, after giving effect to such issuance or participation, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero; provided, further, that in no event shall Barclays, RBC, Bank of America, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Bank of Montreal, Citizens, TD Securities or Rabobank, or any of their respective offices, branches or Affiliates, in each case to the extent that it is an Issuing Lender hereunder, be required to issue any trade Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.23 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event that a Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the L/C Obligations, after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, may be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with Section 2.31(a)(iv) or, if such reallocation is not available in accordance with such Section, each Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by all such Defaulting Lenders, which may include by cash collateralizing each such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each Letter of Credit issued while such Defaulting Lender remains a Defaulting Lender.

2.24 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable

satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request with respect to the requested Letter of Credit. Upon receipt of any Application, an Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Promptly after issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by it (including the amount thereof).

2.25 Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurodollar Loans, shared ratably among the Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the date of Issuance.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

2.26 L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.26(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three

Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 2.26(a) is not made available to such Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. A certificate of such Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any such amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 2.26(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

(d) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to purchase, pursuant to Section 2.26(a), such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or the Borrower may have against such Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 4; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.27 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender on each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender (but in any event no such reimbursement shall be required before the date on which Base Rate Loans would be made (or the procedure specified in Section 2.26 would become applicable) as described in the last two sentences of this Section) for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United

States of America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.13(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.13(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 7(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 2.26 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5, if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.

2.28 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under Sections 2.23 through 2.29 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any L/C Participant, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees that each Issuing Lender and the L/C Participant shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.27 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender or L/C Participant shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to the Borrower.

2.29 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

2.30 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of Sections 2.23 through 2.29, the provisions of Sections 2.23 through 2.29 shall apply; provided, however, that any term, condition

or provision of any Application which is in addition to, or the subject matter of which is not in, part of or covered by, the provisions of Sections 2.23 through 2.29 shall not be considered as being or deemed to be in conflict with or inconsistent with the provisions of Sections 2.23 through 2.29.

2.31 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.31(d); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.31(d); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, so long as payment on account of any amount owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against the Defaulting Lender required to be paid under the seventh clause above has been made, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be

applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders (such Lenders, “Non-Defaulting Lenders”) on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and L/C Exposure are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable facility without giving effect to Section 2.31(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.31(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.31(d).

(C) With respect to any L/C Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit that have been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, cash collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.31(d).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable facility (without giving effect to Section 2.31(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that if any amounts would be due to the Non-Defaulting Lenders under Section 2.19 as a result of a payment of a Eurodollar Loan, the Defaulting Lender shall pay such amounts to the Non-Defaulting Lenders entitled thereto.

(c) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(d) Cash Collateral. (i) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall cash collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.31(a)(iv) and any cash collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(ii) The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender as herein provided (other than Permitted Liens), or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional cash

collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash collateral provided under this Section 2.31 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit (including, as to cash collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the cash collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(iv) Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.31 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender that there exists excess cash collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 2.31 the Person providing cash collateral and the Issuing Lender may agree that cash collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided, further, that to the extent that such cash collateral was provided by the Borrower, such cash collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

2.32 Incremental Loans and Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time request (A) Incremental Term Loan Commitments, and/or (B) Incremental Revolving Commitments by increasing the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, from one or more Incremental Term Lenders and/or Incremental Revolving Lenders, all of which must meet the requirements for assignees under Section 9.6(d). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice) (the “Increased Amount Date”), and (iii) with respect to Incremental Term Loan Commitments, whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are commitments to make additional Tranche A Term Loans, additional Tranche B Term Loans or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Tranche A Term Loans and the Tranche B Term Loans (such other term loans, the “Other Term Loans”).

(b) The Borrower may seek Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving 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 who will become Incremental Term Lenders or Incremental Revolving Lenders in connection therewith. The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender or Incremental Revolving Lender 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 Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Commitments of each Incremental Term Lender or Incremental Revolving Lender.

The terms and provisions of any Incremental Term Loans that are additional Tranche A Term Loans shall be identical to those of the Tranche A Term Loans made on the Closing Date. The terms and provisions of any Incremental Term Loans that are additional Tranche B Term Loans shall be identical to those of the Tranche B Term Loans on the Restatement Funding Date. The terms and provisions of any Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be identical to those of the Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments made on the Closing Date. The terms and provisions of the Other Term Loans shall be identical to those of the Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans, as applicable, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Incremental Assumption Agreement, and any such terms not consistent with those of such applicable Loans, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Loans shall constitute Obligations hereunder and shall be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations). Without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders:

(i) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date,

(ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Other Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche of Term Loans hereunder which has the longest Weighted Average Life to Maturity,

(iii) the obligations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of the Other Term Loans shall not be secured by any property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral and shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiaries of the Borrower other than the Subsidiary Guarantors,

(iv) the Other Term Loans shall not receive mandatory prepayments in excess of their ratable share hereunder in accordance with Section 2.10(d),

(v) in connection with Other Term Loans that contain provisions customarily applicable to Tranche A term loans, if the initial yield on such Other Term Loans (as determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Eurodollar Rate on such Other Term Loans and (y) if such Other Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from the Borrower or any 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, exceeds the Applicable Margin then in effect for Tranche A Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans 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 Tranche A Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Other Term Loans, and

(vi) in connection with Other Term Loans that contain provisions customarily applicable to Tranche B term loans, if the initial yield on such Other Term Loans (as determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Eurodollar Rate on such Other Term Loans and (y) if such Other Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from the Borrower or any 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; provided that in determining the margin above the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate, if the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate in respect of any Other Term Loans includes a floor different from the applicable floor in respect of the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate applicable to the Tranche B Term Loans, such differential amount shall be equated to interest margin for purposes of determining Yield Differential) exceeds the Applicable Margin then in effect for Tranche B Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans 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 Tranche B Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Other Term Loans.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Assumption Agreement. 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 existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment or the Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans or the Incremental Revolving Loans evidenced thereby, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may revise this Agreement to evidence such amendments.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.32 unless on the date of such effectiveness, (i) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2(a) (provided that, if such extension of credit is used to finance a Permitted Acquisition, then the only representations and warranties that will be required to be true and correct in all material respects as a condition to funding on the applicable extension of credit date shall be (x) the Specified Representations 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 the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor has the right to terminate the obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor under such acquisition agreement or not consummate such acquisition as a result of the inaccuracy of such representations or warranties in such acquisition agreement) and 4.2(b) (provided that, if such extension of credit is used to finance a Permitted Acquisition, then such Incremental Term Lenders or Incremental Revolving Lender, as applicable, may agree that Section 4.2(b) shall not apply to such extension of credit (unless the Default or Event of Default arises from Section 7(a) or (f))) shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have

received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer, (ii) the Borrower would be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 6.1 and the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio would be less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 as of the most recently completed Fiscal Quarter ending prior to such transaction for which the financial statements and certificates required by Sections 5.1 and 5.2(a) have been delivered, after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitments transaction and to any other event occurring after such period as to which pro forma recalculation is appropriate as if such events had occurred as of the first day of such period, and assuming that (X) the Incremental Revolving Commitments are fully drawn and (Y) the cash proceeds of any Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans are not netted from Consolidated Total Debt for purposes of calculating such Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, (iii) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Incremental Lenders) legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Restatement Funding Date under Section 4.1, (iv) the Administrative Agent and each applicable Lender shall have received all fees and expenses owed in respect of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitment and (v) the terms and documentation in respect of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitment, to the extent not consistent with this Agreement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each borrowing hereunder of outstanding Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans, as applicable, on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by requiring each outstanding borrowing of Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans, as applicable, that are Eurodollar Loans to be converted into Base Rate Loans on the date of each Incremental Term Loan, or by allocating a portion of each Incremental Term Loan to each outstanding borrowing of Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans, as applicable, that are Eurodollar Loans on a pro rata basis. Any conversion of Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.19. If any Incremental Term Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a borrowing of Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.3(a) or 2.3(b), as applicable, 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 and shall be further increased for all Lenders on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary to avoid any reduction in the amortization payments to which the Tranche A Term Lenders or Tranche B Term Lenders, as applicable, were entitled before such recalculation.

(e) The Loans and Commitments extended or established pursuant to this Section 2.32 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting

the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise after giving effect to the extension or establishment of any such Loans or any such Commitments.

(f) On any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental Revolving Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall assign to each of the Incremental Revolving Lenders, and each of the Incremental Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Credit Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders and Incremental Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Revolving Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (b) each Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Credit Loan and (c) each Incremental Revolving Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Incremental Revolving Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Agents, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and to issue or participate in Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each Agent, the Issuing Lender and each Lender that:

3.1 Financial Condition. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2014 and related pro forma consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, have been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the Loans and other extensions of credit to be made hereunder on the Closing Date and the use of proceeds thereof and (ii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared based on the information available to the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated financial condition of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2014 (in the case of such balance sheet) or at the beginning of such period (in the case of such other financial statements), assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.

(b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower as at December 31, 2011, December 29, 2012 and December 28, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from KPMG LLP, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower as at such date, and the consolidated results

of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower as at May 1, 2014, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the 17-week period ended on such date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of Borrower as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the 17-week period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein and subject, in the case of any such unaudited financial statements to normal year end audit adjustments and the absence of notes). The Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph. During the period from March 31, 2014 to and including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by the Borrower of any material part of its business or Property (other than any Disposition permitted by Section 6.5).

3.2 No Change Since December 28, 2013, there has not been any event, change, condition or development that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate or business trust power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or business trust and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (c) and (d), to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate or business trust power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to consummate the Transactions and to borrow and obtain other extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate action or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowings and other extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to grant the security interests and Liens as provided in the Loan Documents, and, in the case of each Subsidiary Guarantor, to guarantee the Obligations of the Borrower on the terms and conditions of the applicable Loan Documents and to grant the security interests and Liens as provided in the Loan Documents. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the consummation of the

Transactions, the borrowings and other extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 3.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the filings referred to in Section 3.19 and (iii) consents, notices and filings which the failure to make or obtain could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

3.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the consummation of the Transactions, the issuance of Letters of Credit, borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable on the Restatement to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.9 Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of the Borrower, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary and material for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. To the knowledge of the Borrower, except as indicated on Schedule 3.9, no material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person alleging that the use of any Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its

Subsidiaries infringes on the intellectual property rights of any Person in any material respect nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim.

Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed (all such Tax returns being true and correct in all material respects) and has timely paid all Taxes payable, collectible or remittable by it and any assessments made against it or any of its Property and all other material Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are either currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be); and as of the Restatement Effective Date no Tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such Tax, fee or other charge.

3.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans and no Letters of Credit will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U.

3.12 Labor Matters.

Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on account of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary.

3.13 ERISA. Each of the Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. No material liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), or, except in the ordinary course, any Plan or any trust established thereunder, has been or is expected to be incurred by the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates with respect to any Plan. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, resulted or could reasonably be expected to result, in material liability of the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates. The present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed by more than $10,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan.

Borrower and its Subsidiaries, at any other location (including, without limitation, any location to which Materials of Environmental Concern have been sent for re-use or recycling or for treatment, storage, or disposal) which could reasonably be expected to (i) give rise to liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise result in costs to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) interfere with the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ continued operations.

(c) There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding (including any notice of violation or alleged violation) under or relating to any Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is, or to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries will be, named as a party that is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened.

The projections, other forward-looking information with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections and pro forma financial information as it relates to future events are not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections, other forward-looking information and pro forma financial information may differ from the projected and pro forma results set forth therein by a material amount.

3.19 Security Documents.

SECTION 8. THE AGENTS; THE ARRANGERS

8.1 Appointment. Each of the Issuing Lender and each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Section 8, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each of the Issuing Lender and each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents (including releases and the Security Documents) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents and (ii) negotiate, enforce or the settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other applicable Loan Document 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 the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof (subject to securities law and other Requirements of Law) as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

8.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any, and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by it and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Each Agent and any such agent, sub-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of Section 8.3 shall apply to any such agent, sub-agent and attorney-in-fact and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such agent, sub-agent and attorney-in-fact, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent, sub-agent or attorney-in-fact.

8.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and each Agent’s duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall (a) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) 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 as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No 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 as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 7) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final non-appealable judgment. No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for, or received by any Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other

Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (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 Section 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, request, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent, made or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person or Persons. 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, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for 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. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense (other than any liability or expense arising from its gross negligence or willful misconduct) that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, if so specified by the applicable Security Document, such other requisite number or percentage of Secured Parties), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans, the Commitments and L/C Obligations.

8.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders.

100

8.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each of the Issuing Lender and each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents nor any of their respective Related Parties have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to the Issuing Lender or any Lender. Each of the Issuing Lender and each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each of the Issuing Lender and each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Related parties, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and 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, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

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

101

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

8.9 Successor Agents. Each Agent may resign at any time upon 10 days’ written notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Agent, which successor Agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7(a) or Section 7(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the resigning Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” and/or “Collateral Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the resigning Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such resigning Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 10 days after the resigning Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 10th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such Agent’s resignation shall become effective (and such Agent shall be relieved from its duties and obligations hereunder) 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. Any such resignation by such Agent hereunder shall also constitute, to the extent applicable, its resignation as the Issuing Lender, in which case such resigning Agent (a) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit hereunder and (b) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it prior to the date of such resignation. 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 resigning Agent, and the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above). 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 Section 8 and Section 9.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such resigning 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.

8.10 Authorization to Release Liens; Other Actions Relating to Security Documents. The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in

102

its discretion, (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of all Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent obligations in respect of which no assertion of liability (whether oral or written) and no claim or demand for payment (whether oral or written) has been made (and, in the case of Obligations for indemnification, no notice for indemnification has been issued by the indemnitee) at such time) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized or backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent), (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (iii) subject to Section 9.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; (b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.3(g); and (c) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Security Document if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary Guarantor as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement pursuant to this paragraph. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the other Secured Parties for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

8.11 The Arrangers; the Co-Syndication Agents; the Co-Documentation Agents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each of the Arrangers, each of the Co-Syndication Agents and each of the Co-Documentation Agents are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities 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 of the Arrangers, each of the Co-Syndication Agents and each of the Co-Documentation Agents shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents or the Co-Documentation Agents in their respective capacities as such shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, the Issuing Lender, any Loan Party or any other Person.

8.12 Certain Proceedings. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, each Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether such Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in

103

order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Agents and their respective agents, sub-agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Agents under Section 9.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same and, in either case, any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each other Secured Party to make such payments to such Agent and, in the event that such Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to such Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Agent and its agents, sub-agents and counsel, and any other amounts due such Agent under Sections 9.5.

8.13 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender or the Issuing Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender or the Issuing Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the Internal Revenue Service, any other Governmental Authority, or the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or the Issuing Lender or any Tax is attributable to a Lender’s failure to maintain a Participant Register pursuant to Section 9.6(b), such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. The indemnity under this Section 8.13 shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.13.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1. Subject to the provisions of the immediately following sentence, the Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or (with the written consent of the Required Lenders) the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents (including amendments and restatements hereof or thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the instrument of waiver, any of the requirements of this

104

Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive, waive or excuse the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity or any amortization payment of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, or reduce the stated rate of any interest (other than the waiver of default interest) or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or modify the definition of Interest Period to permit an Interest Period greater than six months in duration, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 9.1 (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Loans and the Commitments on the Closing Date, which technical amendments shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to the consent of the Required Lenders) or reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date), consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the value of the Subsidiary Guarantors’ guarantee obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the consent of all Lenders; (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8 without the consent of the Administrative Agent; (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.16 without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (v) amend, modify, or waive any provision of Sections 2.23 through 2.30 without the consent of the Issuing Lenders; (vi) extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit to a date later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date without the consent of each Lender (including the Issuing Lender) unless such Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized or backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender; (vii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the consent of all Lenders under such Facility; (viii) alter the required application of any repayments or prepayments as between Facilities pursuant to Sections 2.9 and 2.10 without the consent of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to each Facility being allocated a lesser repayment or prepayment as a result thereof (it being understood, however, that additional extensions of credit being given substantially the same treatment as the Loans and Commitments on the Closing Date shall be permitted by vote of the Required Lenders and the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment or commitment reductions so long as the application, as among the various Facilities and as among the Lenders of each such Facility, of any such prepayment or commitment reduction which is still required to be made is not altered); (ix) impose any additional restrictions on any Lender’s ability to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder (including any amendment to Section 9.6) (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any supplement to the Excluded Lender list in compliance herewith) without the prior written consent of the Lenders adversely affected thereby); or (x) amend or modify the definition of “Qualified Counterparty,” “Specified Hedge Agreement” or “Secured Obligations” (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in each case in a manner adverse to any Qualified Counterparty with Secured Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral

105

Agreement) then outstanding without the written consent of such Qualified Counterparty; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to consent to any such agreement, other than any such agreement which amends, modifies or otherwise affects the rights or obligations of a Defaulting Lender differently than the rights or obligations of the other Lenders or increases or extends the Commitment or decreases the principal amount of, or extends the maturity of any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan of any such Defaulting Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans and L/C Obligations. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the waiver of any condition set forth in Section 4.2 as to any extension of credit under any Facility may be effected solely with the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders under such Facility and (B) any other amendment or waiver solely affecting one Facility and not any other Facility may be effected solely with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders under such affected Facility.

Issuing Lender:	As notified by such Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower

Lenders:	To the applicable Lender as set forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent or on Schedule I to the lender addendum to which such Lender is a party or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, in such Assignment and Assumption.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications, to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph.

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 Section 2 if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic

107

communication. The Administrative Agent 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, (a) 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 (b) 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 (a), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefore; provided that, for both clauses (a) and (b) 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. 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 notices may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Administrative Agent and its Related Parties 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, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties have any liability to the Borrower or the other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, 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. “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.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower 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 material non-public information with respect to the

108

Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). 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,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 11.07); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents and (2) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities.

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 material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s 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 any Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

9.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or

109

privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

9.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein, in the other Loan Documents and in the documents, certificates, statements or 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 Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Issuing Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Agents, the Lenders or the Issuing Lender 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 other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (other than Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized or backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent) and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 9.5 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 expiration of any Letter of Credit, 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 Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender.

9.5 Payment of Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers and the Issuing Lender, upon presentation of a reasonably detailed statement for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of a single New York counsel (provided that, if the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers and the Issuing Lender (or any of the foregoing) is advised by counsel that there are actual or perceived conflicts of interest, the Borrower will be required to pay for one additional counsel for each affected party) and appropriate local or special counsel, incurred in connection with the Transactions, the syndication of the Commitments and with the development, preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated), and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, (i) all charges related to the Platform and (ii) all reasonable expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders (other than any Excluded Lenders), upon presentation of a reasonably detailed statement, for all their documented costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents (provided that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any Issuing Lender that is an Affiliate of any such Agent shall engage a single New York counsel unless such Agents and such Issuing Lender (or any of the foregoing)

110

is advised by counsel that there are actual or perceived conflicts of interest, in which case the Borrower will be required to pay for one additional New York counsel for each affected party), (c) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Arranger, the Issuing Lender, each Co-Syndication Agent, each Co-Documentation Agent and each Lender (other than any Excluded Lenders) from any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, (d) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Arranger, the Issuing Lender, each Co-Syndication Agent, each Co-Documentation Agent and each Lender (other than any Excluded Lender) and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, claims, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of a single New York counsel (provided that, if the Indemnitees (or any of them) are advised by counsel that there are actual or perceived conflicts of interest, the Borrower will be required to pay for one additional counsel for each affected party) and appropriate local or special counsel) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of or with respect to (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any such other documents or instruments, 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 Facilities), (ii) the use of proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Materials of Environmental Concern on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties or (iv) any 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) (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (ii) a dispute solely among Indemnitees (other than any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding against an Indemnitee in its capacity as Arranger, the Administrative Agent or other similar role) that does not involve any action or inaction by the Borrower or its affiliates and (e) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for any loss, cost or expense arising from any assignment to an Excluded Lender, except to the extent such losses, costs, or expenses are found by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons, except to the extent such damages are

111

found by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 9.5 shall be payable promptly upon (but in any event not later than 30 days after) written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be submitted with reasonable supporting detail to the Borrower’s chief financial officer, at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 9.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each Lender). The agreements in this Section 9.5 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 expiration of any Letter of Credit, 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, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender. The agreements in Section 9.5 of the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the execution of this Agreement.

In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). The Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive, release and agree) not to xxx upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Lender under the immediately preceding paragraph, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought and determined as if no Lender were a Defaulting Lender) 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 the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such.

9.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted such assignment or transfer without such consents shall be null and void).

112

(b) Any Lender may without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, any Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other Persons (other than a natural person, an Excluded Lender and, except as expressly permitted under Section 9.6(i), other than to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) participations in all or any portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or any portion of the Commitments and Loans owing to such Lender); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing Lender 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. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under the last paragraph of Section 9.5 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the applicable Participant, agree to any amendment, modification, waiver or consent to any provisions of the Loan Documents to the extent that such amendment, modification, waiver or consent would forgive, waive or excuse the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, or reduce the stated rate of any interest (other than the waiver of default interest) or fee payable hereunder, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the value of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case to the extent subject to, or related to, such participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 (subject to the requirements and limitations set forth therein, including the requirements under Section 2.18(e) (it being understood that the documentation under Section 2.18(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.21 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.7 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, no assignments (including assignments of additional Term Loans) may be made to an Excluded Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain at one or more of its offices 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 rights or obligations under the Loan Documents (each such register, a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of any

113

Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or other rights or obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other right or obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations provided that if any Participant requests compensation under Section 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19, such Participant shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent any documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. The entries in a 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, (i) the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register and (ii) no participations (including additional participations in Term Loans) may be made to an Excluded Lender.

(c) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.6, 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 or other 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 preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.14.

(d) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Person (other than a natural person, an Excluded Lender and, except as expressly permitted under Section 9.6(i), other than to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (an “Assignee”), with the consent of the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower or any other Person is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and each such other Person) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that (i) no such consent of the Issuing Lender need be obtained with respect to any assignment of the Term Loans and (ii) no such consent of the Borrower (A) shall be required (x) if such assignment is made to another Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof, (y) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 7(a) or (f) or (z) in the case of assignments during the primary syndication of the Commitments and Loans, to Persons identified by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date, and (B) shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within five Business Days of a request for such consent; provided, further, that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $2,500,000 with respect to Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments and $1,000,000 with respect to Term Loans (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement), unless (i) otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative

114

Agent or (ii) such assignment is one of two or more assignments being made simultaneously by or to affiliated Assignees or Approved Funds, the sum of the aggregate principal amounts of which is at least $2,500,000 with respect to Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments and $1,000,000 with respect to Term Loans. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Loans and other interests as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto except as to Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.20 and 9.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such assignment shall be made (1) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates except as expressly permitted under Section 9.6(i) or (2) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (2).

(e) The Administrative Agent shall, solely for this purpose acting as an agent of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amount and stated interest of the Revolving Extensions of Credit and Term Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Revolving Extensions of Credit, Term Loans and any Notes evidencing the Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Assumption; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee (to the extent requested by such designated Assignee), and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Revolving Extensions of Credit and Term Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 9.6(d), by each such other Person), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent) and an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the Assignee (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and all applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information

115

contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Notes of the assigning Lender) a new Note to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loans, as the case may be, upon request, new Notes, as the case may be, to the order of the Assignor in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

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

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), 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 SPC to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPC 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 and (iii) the Granting Lender’s and the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, the Granting Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, and the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Granting Lender in connection with such Granting Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Credit 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 SPC 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 indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC 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 in this Section 9.6(g), any SPC may (A) 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 with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a

116

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 SPC; provided that non-public information with respect to the Borrower may be disclosed only with the Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the consent of all or any portion of the Lenders is required pursuant to any provision of any Loan Document at a time when any Loan is held by any SPC, such SPC and the Granting Lender that would otherwise have been obligated to make such Loan shall agree between themselves as to which of them shall be entitled to grant or withhold any consent applicable to such Loan, but such Granting Lender shall communicate with the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as to the giving or withholding of such consent, and the parties to the Loan Documents shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the advice by such Granting Lender as to whether such consent is being granted or withheld.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no assignments or participations to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, except pursuant to and in accordance with the following: any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries if (A) such assignment is made pursuant to a bid made in the open market to all Lenders through the Administrative Agent, (B) such assignment is not financed with the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loans, (C) after giving effect to such purchase, the amount of unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such time is greater than the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding and (D) any Term Loans so purchased shall be immediately cancelled. Upon any purchase of Term Loans pursuant to this clause (i), the remaining scheduled repayments of the Term Loans shall be reduced on a pro rata basis by the principal amount of the Term Loans so purchased and cancelled.

(j) None of the Lenders, the Arrangers or the Agents shall have any responsibility or liability for monitoring the list or identities of, or enforcing provisions relating to, Excluded Lenders. Upon request by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to disclose to such Lender the identity of the Excluded Lenders. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the information disclosed to it by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be subject in all respects to the provisions set forth in Section 9.14.

9.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, and other than with respect to any substituted Lender in accordance with Section 2.22 or as required or permitted under Section 2.20, 9.6(i) or 9.21, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owed to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owed to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided,

117

however, that (i) if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 9.7 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 or Commitments to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this Section 9.7 shall apply), made pursuant to and in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or Reimbursement Obligation 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 had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, while an Event of Default shall be continuing, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application; provided, further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set-off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.31 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off.

9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement or of a Lender Addendum by facsimile transmission or in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State

118

Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

9.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agents, represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Agents, the Arrangers, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Nothing in this Agreement 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 (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby or thereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

9.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS), SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS ISSUED, BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE “UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

9.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and

119

enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and

9.13 No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Co-Syndication Agent, each Co-Documentation Agent, each Arranger, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 9.13, the “Lender Parties”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their respective stockholders and/or their respective Affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or the process leading thereto) will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender Party, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) no Lender Party has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Party has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (ii) each Lender Party is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that (A) it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the process leading thereto, and (B) no joint venture is

120

created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Arrangers, the Agents, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders or among the Borrower and any of the foregoing. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

9.14 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Issuing Lender and each of the Lenders agrees to keep confidential all information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to any Arranger, any Agent, any other Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any thereof that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.14 or with provisions substantially similar to those included in this Section 9.14, (b) to any Participant, or Assignee, or pledgee of interests hereunder (each, a “Transferee”) or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.14 or with provisions substantially similar to those included in this Section 9.14, (c) to any of its employees, directors, trustees, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, including any numbering, administration and settlement service providers, who are, or are expected to be, engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering this Agreement or otherwise on a “need-to-know basis” if reasonably incidental to the administration of this Agreement (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, and each Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender shall be responsible for any breach hereof by such Agent’s, such Issuing Lender’s or such Lender’s, as applicable, employees, directors, trustees, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors), (d) to any financial institution that is a direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.14 or with provisions substantially similar to those included in this Section 9.14), (e) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, bank regulatory authorities) having jurisdiction over it, (f) pursuant to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, bank regulatory authorities) or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (g) in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (h) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section, (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided that, in the case of disclosure pursuant to clauses (f) and (g) above (other than in connection with any routine audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), to the extent not prohibited by law, such Person agrees to provide prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower.

9.15 Release of Collateral Security and Guarantee Obligations.

(a) Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Collateral Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the guarantee contained in, and the Liens granted (or purported to be granted) upon the Collateral pursuant to, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Security Documents, and with respect to the exercise by the Collateral Agent (or its sub-agents or designees) of any rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral as provided in the Loan Documents; provided that no Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Borrower Foreign Letter of Credit Obligations or Borrower Hedge Agreement Obligations (as such terms are defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement). Subject to Section 9.1, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.1) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (including in connection with a transaction permitted by this Agreement) or with respect to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.1) have otherwise consented.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the guarantee contained in, or the Lien upon the Collateral granted (or purported to be granted) pursuant to, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof, and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

(c) No Permitted Foreign Currency Letter of Credit and no Specified Hedge Agreement will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Foreign Currency L/C Issuing Lender that is the issuer thereof or Qualified Counterparty that is a party thereto, as applicable, any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Loan Documents except as expressly provided in Section 9.1 and Section 8.15 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. By accepting the benefits of the

122

Collateral, each Foreign Currency L/C Issuing Lender and each Qualified Counterparty shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.15.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent obligations in respect of which no assertion of liability (whether oral or written) and no claim or demand for payment (whether oral or written) has been made (and, in the case of Obligations for indemnification, no notice for indemnification has been issued by the indemnitee) at such time), all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (other than Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized or backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent), the security interest in all Collateral and the guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document shall automatically terminate and be released and, upon the request of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document.

9.16 Accounting Changes. In the event that any “Accounting Change” (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred. “Accounting Change” refers to any change in GAAP or in any other accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC.

9.17 [Reserved.]

9.18 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY,

123

AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.18.

9.19 Lender Action. Each Lender and each Issuing 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 9.19 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

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

9.21 Loan Modification Offers. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Tranche A Term Loans, the Tranche B Term Loans or Other Term Loans (an “Existing Tranche”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment or payments of principal (including at final maturity) with respect to such Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Other Term Loans (any such Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Other Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 9.21; provided that no more than two scheduled maturity dates in respect of any Loans may occur during any fiscal year of the Borrower. In order to establish Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such written notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche) (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) setting forth the terms and conditions of the Extended Term Loans to be established (which shall be identical in all material respects to the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Other Term Loans, as the case may be, under the Existing Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted except that (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal and payment at maturity of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal and payment at maturity of the Tranche A Term Loans, the Tranche B Term Loans or Other Term Loans, as the case may be, of such Existing Tranche, in each case to the extent provided in such Loan Modification Offer, (ii) the Applicable Margin, the Eurodollar Rate “floor” set forth in the definition of Eurodollar Rate and/or fees payable with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different from the same provisions for the Tranche A Term Loans or the Tranche B Term Loans of such Existing Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the Loan Modification Offer, (iii) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata

124

basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Loan Modification Offer, and (iv) the Loan Modification Offer may provide for other covenants and terms (A) that apply solely to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments in effect on the effective date of the Loan Modification Offer immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans, or after approval thereof by the Required Lenders or (B) that are less favorable to the holders of the Extended Term Loans than the covenants and terms applicable to the Existing Tranche). The Borrower shall provide the applicable Loan Modification Offer at least five Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders are requested to respond. Each Lender under the applicable Existing Tranche shall be afforded a pro rata opportunity to participate in any Loan Modification Offer (subject to notice and conditions to be agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in their reasonable discretion). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Tranche converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Loan Modification Offer. Any Lender wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of the applicable Existing Tranche subject to such Loan Modification Offer converted into Extended Term Loans (each such Lender, an “Extending Term Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Loan Modification Offer of the amount of its Term Loans of the applicable Existing Tranche which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements set forth in such Loan Modification Offer). In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans of the applicable Existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans of the applicable Existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans of the applicable Existing Tranche included in each such Extension Election.

(b) The Borrower and any one or more Revolving Credit Lenders may from time to time agree that such Revolving Credit Lenders will establish Revolving Credit Commitments through the conversion of a previously established Revolving Credit Commitment of any such Revolving Credit Lender to an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender (any Revolving Credit Commitments being established in accordance with this Section 9.21(b) an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall also be a Revolving Credit Commitment) by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a notice (a “Revolving Extension Notice”; each Revolving Extension Notice and each Loan Modification Offer being an “Extension”) specifying (i) the amount of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments established thereby, (ii) the Revolving Credit Termination Date for such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that the Revolving Credit Termination Date for any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall in no event be earlier than the Revolving Credit Termination Date for the Revolving Credit Commitments established on the Closing Date and there shall not be more than three Revolving Credit Termination Dates in effect at any time, (iii) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans and fees in respect of participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and the commitment fee payable with respect to such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (A) in no event shall there be more than three Applicable Margins in effect in the aggregate for all Revolving Credit Commitments at any time and (B) either (x) the Applicable Margins for Revolving Credit Loans, fees in respect of participations in Letters of Credit and the commitment fee for all Revolving Credit Commitments that have the same Revolving Credit Termination

125

Date shall be the same (although different upfront fees may be paid by Borrower) or (y) the maximum number of Revolving Credit Termination Dates permitted to be in effect at any time shall be reduced by the number of such different Applicable Margins and fees in excess of one applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments with the same Revolving Termination Date, and (iv) whether clause (ii) above shall be amended to provide that future Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may not have a Revolving Credit Termination Date prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date for such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. Except as set forth above, the terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be identical in all material respects to the Revolving Credit Commitments established on the Closing Date. No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion, provided that all Revolving Credit Lenders shall be afforded a pro rata opportunity to participate in any Extensions (subject to notice and conditions to be agreed by Borrower and the Administrative Agent in their reasonable discretion). On each date on which Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are established, each Revolving Credit Lender shall purchase at par from and/or sell at par to each of the other Revolving Credit Lenders such portions of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, if any, as may be specified by the Administrative Agent so that, immediately following such purchases, all Eurodollar Loans and all Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans shall be held by the Revolving Credit Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages.

(c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (i) the consent of each Term Lender agreeing to a Loan Modification Offer as evidenced by its delivery of an Extension Election, (ii) the consent of each Revolving Credit Lender agreeing to an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment as evidenced by its execution of a Revolving Extension Notice and (iii) with respect to the establishment of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, the consent of the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent. All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 9.21 (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to enter into any such amendments). Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with the establishment of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the respective Loan Parties shall (at their sole expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed to amend) any applicable Security Document that has a maturity date prior to the then latest maturity date of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so that such shorter maturity date is extended to the then latest maturity date (or such later date as may be advised by counsel to the Administrative Agent).

9.22 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or

126

fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.

9.23 Effect of Restatement. This Agreement shall, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, supersede the Existing Credit Agreement from and after the Restatement Date and from and after the Restatement Funding Date with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the Restatement Date and as of the Restatement Funding Date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree, however, that (a) this Agreement and all other Loan Documents executed and delivered herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing or termination of the Obligations (under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and the other Loan Documents as in effect prior to the Restatement Date except as expressly provided for in the Amendment Agreement and as contemplated by Section 3.16 hereof and (b) such Obligations are in all respects continuing (except as expressly provided for in the Amendment Agreement and as contemplated by Section 3.16 hereof) with only the terms being modified as provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that (i) the liens and security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties securing payment of the Obligations (under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect with respect to all Obligations and (ii) all references in the other Loan Documents to the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer without further amendment to this Agreement. In addition, unless specifically amended hereby, each of the Loan Documents and Exhibits and Schedules to the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and, if applicable, in the forms attached to the Existing Credit Agreement, and with the effect that from and after the Restatement Date all references therein shall be references to this Agreement.
