-3-

period commencing on the first Business Day after the delivery to Administrative Agent of a Pricing Certificate and ending on the day immediately preceding the day on which the next succeeding Pricing Period commences; provided that anything contained in this definition to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the first Pricing Period shall commence no earlier than the date on which Company delivers a Compliance Certificate in respect of the Fiscal Quarter ending June 30, 2013, and the Pricing Certificate in respect of the first Pricing Period may be delivered at any time on or after such date and shall relate to the most recent financial statements delivered by Company to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.1(i) and (b) in the event that, after the commencement of the first Pricing Period, (X) Company fails to deliver a Pricing Certificate to Administrative Agent setting forth the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any Fiscal Quarter on or before the last day (the “Cutoff Date”) on which Company is required to deliver the Related Compliance Certificate and (Y) Administrative Agent determines (each such determination being an “Agent Determination”) on or after the Cutoff Date (on the basis of the Related Compliance Certificate or a Pricing Certificate delivered after the Cutoff Date) that the Applicable Leverage Ratio that would have been in effect if Company had delivered a Pricing Certificate on the Cutoff Date is greater than the Consolidated Leverage Ratio set forth in the most recent Pricing Certificate actually delivered by Company, then (1) the Applicable Leverage Ratio in effect for the period from the Cutoff Date to the date of delivery by Company of the next Pricing Certificate (or, if earlier, the next date on which an Agent Determination is made) shall be the Consolidated Leverage Ratio determined pursuant to the Agent Determination and (2) on the first Business Day after Administrative Agent delivers written notice to Company of any Agent Determination, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent, for distribution (as appropriate) to Lenders, an aggregate amount equal to the additional interest and letter of credit fees Company would have been required to pay in respect of all Loans or Letters of Credit in respect of which any interest or Fees have been paid by Company during the period from the Cutoff Date to the date such notice is given by Administrative Agent to Company if the amount of such interest and fees had been calculated using the Applicable Leverage Ratio based on such Agent Determination.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition or elsewhere in this Agreement, if it is subsequently determined that the Consolidated Leverage Ratio set forth in any Pricing Certificate delivered for any period is inaccurate for any reason and the result thereof is that the Lenders received interest for any period based on an Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin or an Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin that is less than that which would have been applicable had the Consolidated Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin”, the “Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin” and the “Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage” for any day occurring within the period covered by such Pricing Certificate shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined Consolidated Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest or fees theretofore paid by Company for the relevant period pursuant to Sections 2.2A(ii)(a), 2.2A(ii)(b) and 2.3A (as the case may be) as a result of the miscalculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be (and shall be) due and payable under the relevant provisions of Section 2.2A(ii)(a), 2.2A(ii)(b) or 2.3A, as applicable, and Company shall promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) following such determination pay to Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest and/or fees, as applicable, owing as a result of such increased Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin, the Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin, and the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage for the relevant period.

equal to or less than 2.75:1.00		2%

“Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin” means (i) initially, 3.25% and (ii) thereafter, with respect to any Pricing Period, a rate per annum equal to the percentage set forth below opposite the Applicable Leverage Ratio in effect as of such date of determination, any change in any such Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin to be effective on the date of any corresponding change in the Applicable Leverage Ratio:

equal to or less than 2.75:1.00		3%

For purposes of this definition, LIBOR shall be determined using LIBOR as otherwise determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with the definition of LIBOR, except that (x) if a given day is a Business Day, such determination shall be made on such day (rather than two Business Days prior to the commencement of an Interest Period) or (y) if a given day is not a Business Day, LIBOR for such day shall be the rate determined by Administrative Agent pursuant to preceding clause (x) for the most recent Business Day preceding such day; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the LIBOR for any day shall be based on the rate determined on such date at approximately 11 a.m. (London time) by reference to the British Bankers’ Association Interest Settlement Rates for deposits in dollars (as set forth by any service selected by the Administrative Agent that has been nominated by the British Bankers’ Association as an authorized vendor for the purposes of displaying such rates).

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Company in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to borrow on behalf of Company or for otherwise acting in good faith under this Section 2.1B, and upon funding of Loans by Lenders in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice Company shall have effected Loans hereunder.

Company shall notify Administrative Agent prior to the funding of any Loans in the event that any of the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing is no longer true and correct as of the applicable Funding Date, and the acceptance by Company of the proceeds of any Loans shall constitute a re-certification by Company, as of the applicable Funding Date, as to matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

C. Disbursement of Funds. All Term Loans and Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be made by Lenders with a Commitment under the respective Tranche of Loan simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender to make the particular Tranche of Loan requested be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder. Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.1B (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to Administrative Agent in Dollars not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date in same day funds in Dollars, at the Funding and Payment Office for such Loans. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in Sections 4.1 (in the case of Loans made on the Closing Date), 4.2 (in the case of all Loans other than Delayed Draw Term Loans) and 4.4 (in the case of Delayed Draw Term Loans), Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Loans available to Company on the applicable Funding Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of Company at the Funding and Payment Office for such Loans; provided that (i) if, on any Funding Date of Revolving Loans, there are Unpaid Drawings, then the proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit, second, to Company as otherwise provided above and (ii) with respect to Delayed Draw Term Loans, to the extent that the Specified 2009 Senior Note Repurchase will be consummated on a date that is more than two Business Days after the date the Delayed Draw Term Loans are borrowed, the proceeds of such Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be held in an account with the Collateral Agent until such time as it receives a written notice from Company no earlier than two Business Days prior to the date the Specified 2009 Senior Note Repurchase is consummated, upon which time the proceeds of such Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be credited to the account of Company at the Funding and Payment Office.

Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the Funding Date for any Loans that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Funding Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Funding Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Company a corresponding amount in Dollars on such Funding Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such

-46-

Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent in Dollars, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Company, and Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, all in Dollars, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.1C shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Company may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

D. The Register.

(i) Company hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for the purposes of this Section 2.1D, to maintain, at its address referred to in Section 10.7, a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments and Loans (whether or not separately evidenced by one or more Notes) of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Company or any Lender (in the case of any such Lender, only in respect of its Commitments and Obligations) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(ii) Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Term Loan Commitment and Revolving Loan Commitment and the Term Loans and Revolving Loans from time to time of each Lender and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Term Loans or Revolving Loans of each Lender. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company and each Lender, absent clearly demonstrable error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or Company’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans.

(iii) Each Lender shall record on its internal records (including any Notes held by such Lender) the amount of each Term Loan and Revolving Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company, absent clearly demonstrable error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or Company’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided, further that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(iv) Company, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan shall be effective, in each case unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in Section 10.1B. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment Agreement to Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as

-47-

practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender.

(v) Company hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as its agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.1D, and Company hereby agrees that, to the extent Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, Administrative Agent and its Related Parties shall constitute Indemnified Persons for all purposes under Section 10.2.

E. Optional Notes. Upon the request of any Lender made through Administrative Agent (i) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date or the date the Delayed Draw Term Loans are borrowed by Company or (ii) at any time after the Closing Date, Company shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.1) on the Closing Date or the date Delayed Draw Term Loans are incurred (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Company’s receipt of such notice) a promissory note or promissory notes to evidence such Lender’s Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV or Exhibit V annexed hereto, respectively, with appropriate insertions.

F. DDTL Conversions. On the date (the “DDTL Conversion Date”) of incurrence of the Delayed Draw Term Loans (immediately after giving effect thereto), all Delayed Draw Term Loans outstanding on such date shall be automatically (and without further action) converted into, and thereafter constitute, Initial Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (other than for purposes of Sections 2.1A(i) and (iii), Section 2.4B(iii)(h), Section 2.5A, Section 4.4 and Section 5.9A), with such conversion to be effected in accordance with the following rules (each, a “DDTL Conversion”):

(i) the Delayed Draw Term Loans incurred on the DDTL Conversion Date (immediately prior to giving effect to the DDTL Conversion on such date) shall, upon the occurrence of the DDTL Conversion, be proportionately added to (and thereafter be deemed to constitute a part of) each then existing borrowing of Initial Term Loans, even though as a result thereof such newly-converted Initial Term Loans may (x) if initially incurred as LIBOR Loans, effectively have a shorter Interest Period than the then existing borrowings of outstanding Initial Term Loans to which they are added and (y) if initially incurred as Base Rate Loans, bear interest at a different rate than the existing borrowing or borrowings of Initial Term Loans to which they are added;

(ii) if requested by any Lender, Company shall pay to such Lender (x) if the Delayed Draw Term Loans incurred pursuant to a given DDTL Conversion were initially incurred as LIBOR Loans, such amounts necessary, as reasonably determined by such Lender, to compensate such Lender for “making” (by way of conversion) such Initial Term Loans during an existing Interest Period (rather than at the beginning of the respective Interest Period applicable to the existing borrowings of Initial Term Loans, based upon the rates then applicable thereto) and (y) if the Delayed Draw Term Loans incurred pursuant to a given DDTL Conversion were incurred as Base Rate Loans, such amounts necessary, as reasonably determined by such Lender, to equalize the interest rate applicable to the existing borrowings of Initial Term Loans of such Lender and the interest rate applicable to the newly-converted Initial Term Loans converted pursuant to such DDTL Conversion; and

(iii) the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby authorized to) take all appropriate actions in connection with the DDTL Conversion to ensure that all Lenders with outstanding Initial Term Loans (after giving effect to the DDTL Conversion) participate in each borrowing of Initial Term Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.

2.2 Interest on the Loans.

A. Rate of Interest. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.6 and 2.7, each Term Loan and each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made to maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or LIBOR. The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Term Loan or any Revolving Loan shall be selected by Company initially at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given with respect to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.1B, and the basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Term Loan or any Revolving Loan may be changed from time to time pursuant to Section 2.2D. Subject to the last proviso to the first paragraph of Section 2.2D, if on any day a Term Loan or Revolving Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by reference to the Base Rate.

(i) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.2E and 2.7, the Term Loans shall bear interest through maturity, as follows:

(a) if a Base Rate Loan, then at a rate per annum which shall at all times be equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the relevant Applicable Term Loan Base Rate Margin for the relevant Tranche of Term Loan, each as in effect from time to time; or

(b) if a LIBOR Loan, then at a rate per annum which shall at all times, during the Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of LIBOR applicable to such Interest Period plus the relevant Applicable Term Loan LIBOR Margin for the relevant Tranche of Term Loan.

(ii) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.2E and 2.7, the Revolving Loans shall bear interest through maturity as follows:

(a) if a Base Rate Loan, then at a rate per annum which shall at all times be equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin; or

B. Interest Periods. In connection with each LIBOR Loan, Company may, pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be, at Company’s option, either a one, two, three or six month period or, with respect to the Loans of any Tranche, to the extent approved by each Lender with outstanding Loans and/or Commitments under such Tranche, a twelve month period (or solely in the case of the Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans (if any), the period commencing on the date such Initial Term Loans or Delayed Draw Term Loans were borrowed and ending on August 4, 2013) or, to the extent agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, such other periods less than one month; provided that:

(i) the initial Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan shall commence on the Funding Date in respect of such Loan, in the case of a Loan initially made as a LIBOR Loan, or on the date specified in the applicable Notice of Conversion/Continuation, in the case of a Loan converted to a LIBOR Loan;

-49-

(ii) in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a LIBOR Loan continued as such pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(iii) if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(iv) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to clauses (v) and (vi) of this Section 2.2B, end on the last Business Day of a calendar month;

(v) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of any Tranche of Term Loans shall extend beyond the Maturity Date for such Tranche of Term Loans and no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans shall extend beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date;

(vi) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of any Tranche of Term Loans shall extend beyond a date on which Company is required to make a Scheduled Repayment of principal of the respective Tranche of Term Loans, unless the sum of (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans plus (b) the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans that are LIBOR Loans with Interest Periods expiring on or before such date equals or exceeds the aggregate principal amount required to be paid in respect of such Tranche of the Term Loans on such date;

(vii) there shall be no more than 15 Interest Periods outstanding at any time (20 if any Incremental Term Loans are outstanding at such time); and

(viii) in the event Company fails to specify an Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.

C. Interest Payments. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2E, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan, upon any prepayment of that Loan (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity (including final maturity); provided that in the event any Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans are prepaid pursuant to Section 2.4B, interest accrued on such Revolving Loans through the date of such prepayment shall be payable on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date applicable to Base Rate Loans (or, if earlier, at final maturity).

D. Conversion or Continuation. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, (i) Company shall have the option to convert on any Business Day all or any part of its outstanding Term Loans or Revolving Loans under a single Tranche equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount from Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to one basis to Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to an alternative basis and (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Loan, Company shall have the option to continue as a LIBOR Loan all or any portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount; provided, however, that if, upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Loan, Company shall have failed to give a Notice of

-50-

Conversion/Continuation with respect to such LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section 2.2D, Company shall be deemed to have given a timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation electing to continue such LIBOR Loan as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one month; and provided, further, no partial conversion of a borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such borrowing to less than $5,000,000. Borrowings of LIBOR Loans resulting from this Section 2.2D shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.1B.

Company shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent at the Notice Office no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a LIBOR Loan). A Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall specify (i) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount and type of the Loan to be converted/continued, (iii) the nature of the proposed conversion/continuation, (iv) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a LIBOR Loan, the requested Interest Period, and (v) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a LIBOR Loan, that no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. In lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company may give Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed conversion/continuation under this Section 2.2D; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent on or before the proposed conversion/continuation date. Upon receipt of written or telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/continuation under this Section 2.2D, Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit such notice by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Company in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to act on behalf of Company or for otherwise acting in good faith under this Section 2.2D, and upon conversion or continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice Company shall have effected a conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6F, a Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a LIBOR Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Company shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

E. Default Interest. Any principal payments on the Loans not paid when due and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans, the Notes, the Unpaid Drawings, or any Fees or other amounts owed hereunder not paid when due, in each case whether at stated maturity, by notice of prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the rate which is 2.00% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans and (y) the rate which is 2.00% in excess of the rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche from time to time. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.2E shall be payable on demand. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.2E is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

F. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Loans shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Prime Rate, on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Loans and Base

-51-

Rate Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Federal Funds Effective Rate or LIBOR, on the basis of a 360-day year, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a LIBOR Loan, the date of conversion of such LIBOR Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a LIBOR Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

2.3 Fees.

A. Commitment Fees; Upfront Fees. (i) Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment in proportion to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for the period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date equal to the daily excess of the Revolving Loan Commitments over the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Usage multiplied by the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage, such Commitment Fee to be payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date (provided that if such date is not a Business Day, the Commitment Fee shall be payable the immediately succeeding Business Day thereafter), and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(ii) Company agrees to pay to each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment on the Closing Date, a fee equal to 0.50% of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (the “Revolving Loan Upfront Fee”), which Revolving Loan Upfront Fee shall be earned, due and payable in full on the Closing Date.

(iii) Company agrees to pay to each Lender with a Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment on the Closing Date, a fee equal to 0.50% of such Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Upfront Fee”), which Delayed Draw Term Loan Upfront Fee shall be earned, due and payable in full on the Closing Date.

B. Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment (based on each such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin as in effect from time to time during such period on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year (provided that if such date is not a Business Day, the Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable on the immediately succeeding Business Day thereafter) and on the first day on or after the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

C. Company agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to 1/4 of 1% on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, provided that in any event the minimum amount of Facing Fees payable in any twelve-month period for each Letter of Credit shall be not less than $500, it being agreed that, on the day of issuance of any Letter of Credit and on each anniversary thereof prior to the termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, if $500 will exceed the amount of Facing Fees that

-52-

will accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for the immediately succeeding twelve-month period, the full $500 shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on each such anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year (provided that if such date is not a Business Day, the Facing Fees shall be due and payable on the immediately succeeding Business Day thereafter) and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

D. Other Letter of Credit Fees. Company agrees, with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each payment of a drawing made thereunder, to pay customary documentary and processing charges payable directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

E. Other Fees. Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between Company and Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

F. All computations of Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day; except that in the case of Letter of Credit Fees and Facing Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such Fees are payable.

-54-

any Term Loans or Revolving Loans under a given Tranche on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount (other than any such prepayment with proceeds received by Company in connection with its exercise of the Cure Right); provided that a LIBOR Loan may only be prepaid on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless Company pays all amounts owing to Lenders under Section 2.6D.

Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein; provided that a notice of prepayment in respect of all outstanding Loans delivered by Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Company (by notice to Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.4B(iv).

(b) If the Company (x)(I) makes a voluntary prepayment of any Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.4B(i)(a) or (II) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Term Loan, in the case of each of clauses (x)(I) and (x)(II), in connection with a Repricing Transaction, or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, in each case (x) and (y) on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date then the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the Lenders holding Term Loans immediately prior to the consummation of such Repricing Transaction (including each Lender holding Term Loans immediately prior to the consummation of such Repricing Transaction that withholds its consent to such Repricing Transaction and is replaced as a Terminated Lender under Section 2.10), (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium equal to the 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction (as applicable, the “Prepayment Fees”).

(ii) Voluntary Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitments. Company may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit to each Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided that any such partial reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount. Company’s notice to Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in Company’s notice and shall reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share provided that a notice of reduction in respect of all outstanding Revolving Loan Commitments delivered by Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Company (by notice to Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

No later than the fifth Business Day following the date on which any Net Asset Sale Proceeds become Unreinvested Asset Sale Proceeds, Company shall prepay its outstanding Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Unreinvested Asset Sale Proceeds; provided that Company may in its sole discretion elect, pursuant to a written notice given by Company to Administrative Agent describing such election, to postpone any mandatory prepayments otherwise required to be made by Company pursuant to this Section 2.4B(iii)(b) (any such prepayment, until the time actually made, being “Postponed Prepayments”) until such time as the aggregate amount of Postponed Prepayments equals $10,000,000.

(c) Prepayments from Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. In the event that there shall be Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2013; provided that for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2013, Consolidated Excess Cash Flow shall be measured for the period from July 1, 2013 to the end of such Fiscal Year), Company shall, no later than the date on which Company has delivered or is required to deliver audited financial statements with respect to such Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 6.1(ii), prepay its outstanding Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to (I) 50% of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow; provided that (x) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be equal to or less than 3.00:1.00 but greater than 2.50:1.00 as of the last day of any such Fiscal Year, then the percentage referred to above shall be reduced to 25% and (y) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be equal to or less than 2.50:1.00 as of the last day of any such Fiscal Year, then the percentage referred to above shall be reduced to 0%; minus (II) voluntary prepayments of Term Loans made during such Fiscal Year or in the subsequent Fiscal Year prior to the date of any required prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4B(iii)(c), provided that if an amount is deducted pursuant to this clause (II) in any Fiscal Year the same amount may not be deducted in the subsequent Fiscal Year.

-56-

Section 7.1 as in effect on the Closing Date or (ii) is intended to constitute Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any Tranche of Term Loans, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective incurrence of Indebtedness shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2.4B(iii).

(e) Prepayments from Recovery Events. In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 2.4, on each date on or after the Closing Date upon which Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Designated Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than Recovery Events where the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom do not exceed $2,500,000), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Recovery Event shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.4B(iv); provided, however, that such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as Company has delivered a certificate to Administrative Agent on such date stating that such Net Cash Proceeds shall be used to replace or restore any properties or assets in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid within one year following the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the Net Cash Proceeds to be so expended), and provided, further, that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not required to be so applied pursuant to the preceding proviso are not so used within one year after the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or such earlier date, if any, as Company or the relevant Subsidiary determines not to reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Recovery Event as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as provided above in this Section 2.4B(iii)(e) without regard to the immediately preceding proviso.

(f) Mandatory Prepayments Relating to Revolving Loan Commitments. On any day on which the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect (whether as a result of a reduction of Revolving Loan Commitments, a change in the applicable Exchange Rates pursuant to Section 1.4 or otherwise), Company shall prepay on such day the principal of Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Usage exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitments at such time, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent at the Funding and Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Usage at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of Company to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by Administrative Agent.

-57-

(iv) Application of Prepayments.

(a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Tranche of Loans and Order of Maturity. Any voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 2.4B(i) shall be applied as specified by Company in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided that in the event Company fails to specify the Loans of Company to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied first to repay outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof, and second to repay outstanding Term Loans, with such amount to be allocated (other than in the case of and as provided in Section 2.4B(iv)(e) or as otherwise provided in any Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or any Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement or as otherwise provided herein) among each of the outstanding Tranches of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the Pro Rata Share of the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Tranches of Term Loans) to the full extent thereof. Any voluntary prepayment of any Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(i) shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans in the manner specified by Company and to reduce the relevant Scheduled Repayments of principal of such Tranche of Term Loans set forth in Section 2.4A(i) or 2.4A(ii), as applicable, in such order as Company shall direct.

(b) Application of Mandatory Prepayments of Term Loans and the Scheduled Repayments of Principal Thereof. Except as otherwise provided in any Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or any Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement or as otherwise provided herein, any mandatory prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(iii) shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof) and to reduce the relevant Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.4A(i) or 2.4A(ii), as applicable, in direct order of maturity; provided that any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(iii)(d) from the Net Cash Proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied to solely to the Tranche of Term Loans being refinanced by such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness.

(c) Waiver of Certain Mandatory Prepayments. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, other than in the case of any repayment of the Loans in full or with the proceeds of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, in the event Company is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(iii)(b) through (e), (V) Company may, by written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) given to Administrative Agent not less than three Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which Company is required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, elect to offer each Lender holding an outstanding Term Loan the option to refuse such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, (W) in the event Company gives such notice to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent will promptly notify each such Lender of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount, (X) each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to Company and Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day (the “Prepayment Waiver Cutoff Date”) prior to the Required Prepayment Date, (Y) on the Required Prepayment Date, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify Company and Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the Prepayment Waiver Cutoff Date shall be

-58-

deemed to have elected, as of the Prepayment Waiver Cutoff Date, not to exercise such option), which amount shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans of such Lenders in accordance with Section 2.4B(iv)(b), and (Z) Company shall be entitled to retain that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment otherwise payable to those Lenders that have elected to exercise such option (such amount being a “Retained Prepayment”) to be used for general corporate purposes.

(d) Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans; Option to Defer Certain Mandatory Prepayments of LIBOR Loans. Considering Initial Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to LIBOR Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Company pursuant to Section 2.6D; provided that anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that (1) the application of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4B(iii) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4B(iv) would result in the prepayment of all or any portion of a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (2) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Company shall have the option to, by giving written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the date on which such prepayment would otherwise be required to be made, (x) if the remaining term of such Interest Period is less than three months, defer the making of such prepayment until the last day of such Interest Period or such earlier date as Company may specify in such notice or (y) deposit the amount of such prepayment otherwise required to be made hereunder into a cash collateral account to be established by Administrative Agent until the last day of such Interest Period at which time Administrative Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.4B(iv)(c), be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from Company) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.4B(iii).

(e) Additional Revolving Loan Commitment Reductions/Prepayments of Loans. In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Requisite Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 10.6B, Company shall have the right, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 10.6B, upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to (x) terminate the entire Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.6D and Section 2.7 but excluding amounts owing in respect of any Tranche of Term Loans maintained by such Lender, if such Tranche of Term Loans are not being repaid pursuant to Section 10.6B) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which time Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and at such time, unless the respective Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans hereunder, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.6, 2.7, 3.5C, 3.6, 9.6, 10.2 and 10.5), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender and/or (y) repay all Loans of such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.6D and Section 2.7), together with accrued and unpaid

-59-

interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender (or owing to such Lender with respect to each Loan which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, said Section 10.6B, so long as (A) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this clause (y), (i) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to clause (x) above (at which time Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments) and (ii) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders and (B) the consents, if any, required by Section 10.6B in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (y) shall have been obtained; provided that each prepayment of any Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to this clause (y) shall reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Repayment of the respective Tranche after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

C. General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(i) Manner and Time of Payment. All payments by Company of principal, interest, Fees and other Obligations hereunder and under the Notes shall be made in Dollars in same day funds without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 P.M.

(ii) Application of Payments to Principal and Interest. Except as provided in Section 2.2C, all payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal.

(iii) Apportionment of Payments. Aggregate principal and interest payments in respect of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be apportioned among all outstanding Loans to which such payments relate, in each case proportionately to Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at its applicable Lending Office or at such other address as such Lender may request, its Pro Rata Share of all such payments received by Administrative Agent and the Commitment Fees of such Lender when received by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4C(iii), if, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6B, any Notice of Conversion/Continuation is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any LIBOR Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(iv) Payments on Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Commitment Fees hereunder, as the case may be.

A. Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable after 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to LIBOR Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender.

B. Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate, Illegality, etc. In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Rate Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loan because of (x) any change since the Closing Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of LIBOR and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Closing Date affecting such Lender, the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market (including that LIBOR with respect to such LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding such LIBOR Loan), excluding in the case of both (x) and (y), any such change in or new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or any circumstances relating to Taxes); or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;

D. Compensation For Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Company agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its LIBOR Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or Administrative Agent) a borrowing of, or conversion from or into, LIBOR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by Company or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.6B); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 2.4B(i) or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 8) or conversion of any of its LIBOR Loans under Section 2.2D occurs on a date which is not the last day

-63-

of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Company; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by Company to repay LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender, (y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.6C or (z) any DDTL Conversion.

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Company shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction. Such Lender shall

-64-

deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.7A, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent clearly demonstrable error.

For purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.6B and this Section 2.7), (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed to have gone into effect after the Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

B. Withholding of Taxes.

(i) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by Company (or any other Person making a payment on behalf of Company) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall, except to the extent required by law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any regulation, rule, treaty or other governmental requirement), be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax.

(ii) Payments Subject to Taxes. If Company (or any other Person making a payment on behalf of Company) is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable by Company to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents:

(a) Company shall pay the amount of such Tax to the appropriate taxing or other authority;

(b) to the extent such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, Company shall pay additional amounts to Administrative Agent or such Lender so that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made;

(c) to the extent such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, Company shall indemnify each Lender against the amount of any such Tax levied or imposed on and paid by such Lender; and

(d) within 30 days or as promptly as practicable after payment of any Tax pursuant to clause (a) above, Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent a receipt from the relevant taxing or other authority.

(e) If Company pays any indemnity or additional amount under this Section 2.7B(ii) to Administrative Agent or Lender and such Administrative Agent or Lender determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund of Indemnified Taxes for which it was indemnified or received additional amounts, such Administrative Agent or Lender shall pay to Company the amounts of such refund; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent or Lender may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Administrative Agent or Lender, whether to seek such refund; (ii) to the extent that any Taxes are imposed on Administrative Agent or Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction of such refund, such Taxes shall be

-65-

treated as a Tax for which Company is obligated to indemnify such Administrative Agent or Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7B(ii); and (iii) nothing in this Section 2.7B(ii) shall require Administrative Agent or Lender to disclose any confidential information to Company (including, without limitation, its tax returns).

(iii) Status of Lenders.

(a) 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 Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.7B(iii)(b)(i), 2.7B(iii)(b) (ii) and 2.7B(iii)(b)(iv) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

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

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

(B) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

-66-

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

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

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

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

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

-67-

C. Capital Adequacy Adjustment. If any Lender determines that after the Closing Date the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Loans or Commitments or Letters of Credit or participations therein or other obligations hereunder, then Company agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable; provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.7C shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.7C, will give prompt written notice thereof to Company, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

2.8 Notice of Certain Costs; Obligation of Lenders and Issuing Lenders to Mitigate.

A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent Section 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6 requires any Lender or Issuing Lender to give notice to Company of an event or a condition that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive payments under Section 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6, as the case may be, in the event such notice is given by such Lender or Issuing Lender more than 180 days after such Lender or Issuing Lender has knowledge of the occurrence or existence of such event or circumstance, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall not be entitled to receive any such payments under Section 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6, as the case may be, in respect of the period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such notice is given to Company.

B. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that, if an event occurs or a condition arises that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive payments under Section 2.7 or Section 3.6, it will, if so requested by Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to make, issue, fund or maintain the Commitments of such Lender or the affected Loans or Letters of Credit (or participations therein) of such Lender or Issuing Lender through another lending or letter of credit office of such Lender or Issuing Lender, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.7 or Section 3.6 would be materially reduced and if the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitments or Loans or Letters of Credit (or participations therein) through such other lending or letter of credit office would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Commitments or Loans or Letters of Credit (or participations therein) or cause such Lender or Issuing Lender to suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, each as determined in the Lender’s sole discretion; provided that nothing in this Section 2.8 shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of Company or the rights of any Lender provided in Section 2.6C, 2.6F, 2.7 or 3.6.

2.9 Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) (A) defaults in (for a period of two Business Days or more), or notifies Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender and/or any Loan Party that it does not intend to comply with (in circumstances where such non-compliance would constitute a breach of, and excluding a good faith dispute with respect to), its obligation to fund (or has made a public statement to that effect with respect to its funding obligations hereunder or under other agreements in which it commits to extend credit) (1) any Revolving Loan (a “Defaulted

-68-

Revolving Loan”), in accordance with Section 2.1, or (2) its portion of any unreimbursed payment with respect to a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.4C or 3.5, unless such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Company in writing that such failure is the result of such Lender’s determination that one or more conditions precedent to funding (each of which conditions precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing) has not been satisfied, (B) has failed, within three Business Days after request by the Administrative Agent, to confirm in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that it will comply with its funding obligations (provided that such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this clause (B) upon receipt of such satisfactory written confirmation by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower), (C) has failed, within two Business Days after request by the Administrative Agent, to pay any amounts owing to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders or (D) (I) becomes, or has a direct or indirect parent company that becomes, the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or a takeover by a regulatory authority (II) has a receiver, conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with reorganization or liquidation of its business or a custodian appointed for it or (III) has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicated its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment; provided that a Lender shall not be a Defaulting Lender solely by virtue of the ownership or acquisition of any equity interest in that Lender or any direct or indirect parent company thereof by a regulatory authority (the events described in preceding clauses (A) and (D), a “Funding Default”), then (i) during any Default Period (as defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents (other than for purposes of voting on matters of the type described in clause (i) of the first proviso to Section 10.6A), (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess (as defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (a) any voluntary prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(i) shall, if Company so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Revolving Loan Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (b) any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(iii) shall, if Company so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that Company shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b), (iii) such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee payable to Lenders pursuant to Section 2.3A in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.3A with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and (iv) the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender.

For purposes of this Agreement, (I) “Default Period” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the period commencing on the date of the applicable Funding Default and ending on the earliest of the following dates: (A) the date on which all Revolving Loan Commitments are cancelled or terminated and/or the Obligations are declared or become immediately due and payable, (B) the date on which (1) the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero (whether by the funding by such Defaulting Lender of any Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender or by the non-pro rata application of any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.9 or by a combination thereof) and (2) such Defaulting Lender shall have delivered to Company and Administrative Agent a written reaffirmation of its intention to honor its obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Revolving Loan Commitment, and (C) the date on which Company,

-69-

Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders waive all Funding Defaults of such Defaulting Lender in writing, and (II) “Default Excess” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the excess, if any, of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans of all Lenders (calculated as if all Defaulting Lenders (other than such Defaulting Lender) had funded all of their respective Defaulted Revolving Loans) over the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender.

No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.9, performance by Company of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.9. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.9 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Company may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

2.10 Removal or Replacement of a Lender.

A. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that:

(i) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.6B(ii), 2.6B(iii), 2.7 or Section 3.6 with respect to any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) which results in such Increased-Cost Lender charging to Company increased costs in excess of those generally charged by other Lenders; or

(ii) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (b) the Default Period for such Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect, and (c) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after Company’s request that it cure such default; or

(iii) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions of this Agreement which has been approved by the Requisite Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 10.6B but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained;

then, and in each such case, at its option, Company may elect upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender and/or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be), to remove or replace such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”) to the extent permitted by Section 2.10B (and notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary).

B. Company may, by giving five Business Days’ written notice to Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so:

(i) so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such removal, elect to (a) terminate the entire Revolving Loan Commitment, if any, of such Terminated Lender and concurrently prepay on the date of such termination any outstanding Loans made by such Terminated Lender, and/or (b) repay all outstanding Loans of such Terminated Lender, in each case (under both clauses (a) and (b) above) together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, Fees and all other amounts payable to such Terminated

-70-

Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 2.6, Section 2.7 or Section 3.6 or otherwise in accordance with Section 2.4B(iv)(e) hereof; provided that in the event such Terminated Lender has any Loans outstanding at the time of such termination, the written consent of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required in order for Company to make the election set forth in this clause (i); or

(ii) elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Loan Commitment, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees, none of whom shall constitute an Increased-Cost Lender or a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (“Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent or, in the case of a replacement as provided in Section 10.6B where the consent of the respective Lender is required with respect to less than all Tranches of its Loans or Commitments, to replace the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of such Lender in respect of each Tranche where the consent of such Lender would otherwise be individually required, with identical Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the Replacement Lender; provided that:

(a) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.10B(ii), the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements pursuant to Section 10.1B (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 10.1B to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Terminated Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among Company, the Replacement Lender and the Terminated Lender)), pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of only (A) the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Usage and/or (B) the outstanding Term Loans, the outstanding Term Loans with respect to which such Lender is being replaced) of, and in each case (except for the replacement of only the outstanding Term Loans of the respective Lender) all participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to the respective Tranche by, the Terminated Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Terminated Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans (or of the Loans of the respective Tranche being replaced) of the respective Terminated Lender with respect to which such Terminated Lender is being replaced, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (unless there are no Unpaid Drawings with respect to the Tranche being replaced) that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Terminated Lender (but only with respect to the relevant Tranche, in the case of the replacement of less than all Tranches of Loans then held by the respective Terminated Lender) pursuant to Section 2.3 and (y) except in the case of the replacement of only the outstanding Term Loans of a Terminated Lender, each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Terminated Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Terminated Lender;

(b) all obligations of Company then owing to the Terminated Lender (other than those (x) specifically described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.6D, (y) relating to any Tranche of Loans and/or Commitments of the respective Terminated Lender which will remain

-71-

outstanding after giving effect to the respective replacement or (z) to the extent such Terminated Lender is being replaced pursuant to this Section 2.10 to effect a Repricing Transaction, the Prepayment Fee that would have otherwise been payable to such Terminated Lender if such Terminated Lender had consented to such Repricing Transaction) shall be paid in full to such Terminated Lender concurrently with such replacement; and

(c) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent at the time of such replacement to each matter in respect to which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender;

provided that (X) Company may not make either of the elections set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Non-Consenting Lender unless Company also makes one of such elections with respect to each other Terminated Lender which is a Non-Consenting Lender and (Y) Company may not make the elections set forth in clause (i) above with respect to (a) any Terminated Lender that is an Issuing Lender unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, Company shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender to be cancelled and (b) in all other circumstances where a Letter of Credit issued by any other Issuing Lender is outstanding, prior to the effectiveness of such election, Company shall enter into the applicable Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements with such Issuing Lender.

2.11 Incremental Term Loan Commitments.

C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.11, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided by an Incremental Term Loan Lender or Incremental Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall constitute a new Tranche, which shall be separate and distinct from the existing Tranches pursuant to this Agreement (with a designation which may be made in letters (i.e., A, B, C, etc.), numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) or a combination thereof (i.e., X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, C-1, C-2, C-3, etc.); provided that with the consent of Administrative Agent, the parties to a given Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement may specify therein that the respective Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto shall constitute part of, and be added to, an existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans or the outstanding Tranche of Initial Term Loans, in either case so long as the following requirements are satisfied:

(i) the Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have the same Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date and shall have the same Applicable Margins as the Tranche of Term Loans to which the new Incremental Term Loans are being added;

(ii) the new Incremental Term Loans shall have the same Scheduled Repayment Dates as then remain with respect to the Tranche to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added (with the amount of each Scheduled Repayment applicable to such new Incremental Term Loans to be the same (on a proportionate basis) as is theretofore applicable to the Tranche to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added, thereby increasing the amount of each then remaining Scheduled Repayment of the respective Tranche proportionately); and

(iii) on the date of the making of such new Incremental Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.2B, such new Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the respective Tranche on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding borrowings), so that each Lender will participate proportionately in each then outstanding borrowing (and the related Interest Periods, if any) of Term Loans of the respective Tranche.

To the extent the provisions of preceding clause (iii) require that Lenders making new Incremental Term Loans add such Incremental Term Loans to the then outstanding Interest Periods of LIBOR Loans of such Tranche, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new Incremental Term Loans having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding LIBOR Loans of such Tranche and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period). In connection therewith, Company hereby agrees to compensate the Lenders making the new Incremental Term Loans of the respective Tranche for funding LIBOR Loans during an existing Interest Period on such basis as may be agreed by Company and the respective Lender or Lenders as may be provided in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement.

Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.4A with respect to any Tranche of Term Loans subject to an Extension to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.4A), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.4B to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, (iv) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of Section 10.6C (without the consent of the Requisite Lenders called for therein) and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Company, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15, and the Requisite Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment. In addition, any such Amendment shall provide that, to the extent consented to by each relevant Issuing Lender, (a) with respect to any Letters of Credit the expiration date for which extend beyond the maturity date for the non-extending Revolving Loan Commitments, participations in such Letters of Credit on such maturity date shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Loan Commitments to Lenders holding Extended Revolving Loan Commitments in accordance with the terms of such amendment (provided that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Revolving Loan Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Revolving Loan Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly) and (b) limitations on drawings of Revolving Loans and issuances, extensions and amendments to Letters of Credit shall be implemented giving effect to the foregoing reallocation prior to such reallocation actually occurring to ensure that sufficient Extended Revolving Loan Commitments are available to participate in any such Letters of Credit.

D. In connection with any Extension, Company shall provide Administrative Agent at least 5 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by Administrative Agent in

-81-

its sole discretion) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.15.

E. No conversion or extension of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.15 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment or repayment for purposes of this Agreement.

Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from Company, any other Loan Party or the Requisite Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 4 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.2, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of Company in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Company and Administrative Agent, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be. Promptly after receipt of such notice Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Lender shall furnish Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding week. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that a Funding Default exists with respect to any Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment, (i) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, renew, extend or amend any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Company to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to each Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which arrangements are hereby consented to by the Lenders), including by cash collateralizing each Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to such Letters of Credit (such arrangements, the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”) and (ii) promptly upon the written request of the Issuing Lender, Company shall enter into Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements with such Issuing Lender with respect to any Defaulting Lender’s participation in any outstanding Letter of Credit.

C. The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

3.4 Letter of Credit Participations.

A. Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment, and each such Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.4, a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of Company under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or Pro Rata Share of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10 or 10.1B, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.4 to reflect the new Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.

B. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to Company, any other Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

C. In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and Company shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.5A, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars (which amount, in the case of a drawing under a Letter of Credit which is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, shall be calculated by reference to the applicable Exchange Rate) and in same day funds. If Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars (which amount, in the case of a drawing under a Letter of Credit which is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, shall be calculated by reference to the applicable Exchange Rate) such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment available to the respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its Pro Rata Share of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its Pro Rata Share of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment.

D. Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to Section 3.4C above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its Pro Rata Share thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the

-84-

proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

E. Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant a report detailing for each Letter of Credit the applicable letter of credit number, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the issue date and the expiry date of such Letter of Credit, and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

F. The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Company or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between Company or any Subsidiary of Company and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default.

3.5 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

A. Company agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Funding and Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by Company, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than one Business Day following receipt by Company of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default under Section 8.6 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by Company)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by Company therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin as in effect from time to time; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day following the receipt by Company of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default under Section 8.6, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by Company) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in

-85-

effect from time to time plus the Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin as in effect from time to time plus 2.00%, with such interest to be payable on demand. Company shall make all payments required pursuant to this Section 3.5 in Dollars (which amount, in the case of a drawing under a Letter of Credit which is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, shall be calculated by reference to the applicable Exchange Rate). Each Issuing Lender shall give Company prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it; provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish Company’s obligations hereunder.

B. The obligations of Company under this Section 3.5 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which Company or any Subsidiary of Company may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

C. In addition to amounts payable as provided in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 3.5 and in Section 3.6, Company hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Issuing Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which such Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (b) the wrongful dishonor by such Issuing Lender of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it or (ii) the failure of such Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority.

If at any time after the Closing Date, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (including Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (2) through (4) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, but excluding any other condition with respect to Taxes), then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to Company by any Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to Administrative Agent), Company agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the

-86-

amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to it pursuant to this Section 3.6, will give prompt written notice thereof to Company, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to Company by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant.

6.4 Maintenance of Properties; Insurance.

A. Maintenance of Properties. Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, all material properties used or useful in the business of Company and its Subsidiaries (including all material Intellectual Property) and from time to time will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof, in each case except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each such policy of insurance shall (a) name Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear and (b) in the case of each business interruption and casualty insurance policy, contain a loss payable clause or endorsement, satisfactory in form and substance to Collateral Agent, that names Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties as the loss payee thereunder for any covered loss and provides for at least 30 days prior written notice to Collateral Agent of any modification or cancellation of such policy.

B. Company will, and will cause each other Loan Party to, grant to Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties Mortgages on Real Property not subject to a Permitted Lien (such Mortgages limited to unencumbered owned Real Property with a fair market value in excess of $3,500,000) as may be requested from time to time by Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (collectively, the “Additional Collateral Documents”).

(iii) to induce the title company to issue the Mortgage Policy referred to in clause (ii) above, such affidavits, certificates, information and instruments of indemnification (including, without limitation, a so-called “gap” indemnification) as shall be required by the title company, together with payment by Company of all Mortgage Policy premiums, search and examination charges, mortgage recording taxes, fees, charges, costs and expenses required for the recording of such Mortgage and issuance of such Mortgage Policy;

(v) to the extent requested by Administrative Agent, copies of all leases in which Company or any other Loan Party holds the lessor’s interest or other agreements relating to possessory interests, if any; provided that, to the extent any of the foregoing affect such Mortgaged Property, to the extent requested by Administrative Agent, such agreements shall be subordinate to the Lien of the Mortgage to be recorded against such Mortgaged Property, either expressly by its terms or pursuant to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (with any such agreement being reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent); and

(vi) flood certificates covering such Mortgaged Property in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent, certified to Collateral Agent in its capacity as such and whether or not such Mortgaged Property is located in a flood hazard area, as determined by designation of each such Mortgaged Property in a specified flood hazard zone by reference to the applicable FEMA map.

C. Company will, and will cause each of the other Loan Parties to, at the expense of Company, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to Collateral Agent from time to time such schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, real property surveys, reports, control agreements and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral covered by any of the Collateral Documents as Collateral Agent may reasonably require and are necessary for the perfection or priority of the Liens intended to be granted by the Collateral Documents.

The provisions of this paragraph are intended merely to bind Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of Requisite Lenders and are not intended, directly or indirectly, to benefit Company, and such provisions shall not at any time be construed so as to grant Company the right to require Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder or to preclude Administrative Agent or Lenders from exercising any of the rights or remedies available to them under any of the Loan Documents, even if the conditions set forth in this paragraph are met.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8, in the event that Company fails to comply with the requirements of Section 7.6 as of the end of any applicable Fiscal Quarter, Company shall have the right (the “Cure Right”) (at any time during such Fiscal Quarter or thereafter until the date that is 10 Business Days after the date the Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(iii)) to receive cash contributions to its common equity or cash proceeds of common equity issuances in an amount equal to no greater than that needed to cause Company to be in compliance with the requirements of Section 7.6 (the “Cure Amount”), and, provided 100% of such cash contribution has been contributed, or such cash proceeds received, as common equity to Company as common equity, thereupon Company’s compliance with Section 7.6 shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments: (i) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.6, as of the end of such Fiscal Quarter and applicable subsequent periods that include such Fiscal Quarter by an amount equal to the Cure Amount (provided that, for such relevant Fiscal Quarter, Consolidated Total Debt shall not be recalculated to give effect to any repayment of Indebtedness with the Cure Amount) and (ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the requirements of Section 7.6 shall be satisfied, then the requirements of Section 7.6 shall be deemed satisfied as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of Section 7.6 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with Section 7.6, (b) Company shall not be entitled to exercise the Cure Right more than (i) two times during any four consecutive Fiscal Quarters and (ii) five times during the term of this Agreement, (c) all Cure Amounts shall be disregarded for purposes of determining baskets with respect to the covenants contained in the Loan Documents, for purposes of determining pricing and for any other purpose, and may not be used to make a Restricted Junior Payment, and (d) upon Administrative

-117-

Agent’s receipt of a notice from Company that it intends to exercise the Cure Right (a “Notice of Intent to Cure”), until the 10th Business Day following date of delivery of the Compliance Certificate under Section 6.1(iii) to which such Notice of Intent to Cure relates, none of Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall exercise the right to accelerate the Loans or terminate the Commitments and none of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent nor any other Lender or Secured Parties shall (i) exercise any right to foreclose on or take possession of the Collateral or (ii) exercise any other remedy hereunder or applicable law solely on the basis of an Event of Default having occurred and being continuing under Section 7.6; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to make any Loans, and no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue a Letter of Credit, prior to receipt of the Cure Amount.

SECTION 9 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.1 Appointment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Credit Suisse as Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Section 9 and Section 10.2, the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include Credit Suisse in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Any Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it, and Administrative Agent and any sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties hereunder by or through any of its respective Related Parties. No Agent shall be responsible for negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents 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, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

9.2 Nature of Duties.

A. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it with the consent or at the request of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 8 or Section 10.6) or any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

B. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each Lead Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that each Lead Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Section 10.2. Without limitation of the foregoing, none of the Lead Arrangers shall, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

-118-

9.3 Lack of Reliance on Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Company and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the financial condition of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the financial condition of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default.

9.4 Certain Rights of Administrative Agent. If Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Requisite Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Requisite Lenders; and Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders.

9.5 Reliance. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by Administrative Agent.

9.6 Right to Indemnity. To the extent Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by Company, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify Administrative Agent (and any Affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Requisite Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Administrative Agent’s (or such Affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

9.7 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement,

-119-

Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender”, “Requisite Class Lenders”, “Requisite Lenders”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

9.8 Holders. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

9.9 Resignation by Administrative Agent; Replacement.

A. Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default under Section 8.6 then exists, Company. Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder shall automatically, and with no further action required on the part of Administrative Agent, also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit and (y) 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. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (B) and (C) below or as otherwise provided below.

B. Upon any such notice of resignation by Administrative Agent, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Company, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that Company’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

C. If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, Administrative Agent, with the consent of Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that Company’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

D. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (B) or (C) above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

-120-

E. The Requisite Lenders may at any time when Administrative Agent has become the subject of a proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally, or had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, upon no less than 15 Business Days’ prior notice, replace Administrative Agent. Any such replacement of Administrative Agent hereunder shall automatically, and with no further action required on the part of Administrative Agent, also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender, in which case the replaced Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit and (y) 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 replacement. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (F) below or as otherwise provided below.

F. If Administrative Agent is replaced pursuant to the preceding clause (E), the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor which successor Administrative Agent shall be consented to by Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that Company’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists); provided that the successor Administrative Agent shall not be the subject of a proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally, or had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it and shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the replaced Administrative Agent, and the replaced Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

G. The fees payable by Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Company and such successor.

H. Upon a resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.9, Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Section 9 (and the analogous provisions of the other Loan Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as Administrative Agent.

9.10 Collateral Matters.

A. Each Lender authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

B. The Lenders hereby authorize Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than Company and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 7.7, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by

-121-

Section 10.6) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Collateral Documents. Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.10.

C. Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Collateral Agent in this Section 9.10 or in any of the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

9.11 Delivery of Information. Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by Administrative Agent from any Loan Party, any Subsidiary, the Requisite Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

9.12 Withholding of Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the Internal Revenue Service or any other regulatory authority, or the Internal Revenue Service or any other regulatory authority asserts a claim that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

SECTION 10 MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.

A. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, Company may not assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders (and any purported assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void) and, provided, further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.10 and 10.1B) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant (“Loan Participant”) shall have rights to approve any

-122-

amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such Loan Participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 1.2 shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the Loan Participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any Loan Participant if the Loan Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by Company of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such Loan Participant is participating. The Company agrees that each Loan Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.6, and 2.7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.7B(ii) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.7B(ii) 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 Loan Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.10 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (B) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.7, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Loan Participant acquired the applicable participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Loan Participant may be a Disqualified Institution.

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

B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i)(a) its parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (b) one or more other Lenders or any Affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an Affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(b)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans

-123-

and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor; provided in the case of Revolving Loan Commitments, assignments may only be made under this sub-clause (x)(i)(b) to other Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 (in the case of Term Loans) or $2,000,000 (in the case of Revolving Loan Commitments) in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Assignee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement, provided that (i) at such time, Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying Company for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at Company’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.1(E) (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of (a) the Administrative Agent, (b) in the case of an assignment of Revolving Loan Commitments, each Issuing Lender and (c) so long as no Potential Event of Default under Section 8.6 or Event of Default then exists and the Syndication Date has occurred, Company, shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent, in the case of each clause (a), (b) or (c), not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided that (I) Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof and (II) the consent of Administrative Agent shall not be required in connection with a repurchase or assignment pursuant to Section 2.13, (iv) Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 (which assignment fee may be waived in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent) and (v) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 2.1D. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 10.1B, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 10.1B to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to Company the appropriate U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit VI and the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms described in Section 2.7B(iii) and, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, comply with the provisions of Section 2.7B(iii) in their entirety. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.10 or this Section 10.1B would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Sections 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then Company shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although Company, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment). If an assigning Lender is entitled (on the date of assignment) to additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.7B(ii)(b) (or pursuant to this sentence) with respect to a United States withholding tax as a result of a change in applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, after the Closing Date, an assignee Lender similarly shall be entitled to such additional amounts (if not otherwise entitled to such amounts pursuant to Section 2.7B(ii)(b)) to the extent such assigning Lender was entitled to such additional amounts and such United States withholding tax would have been an Indemnified Tax with respect to such assignee Lender if such assignee Lender had been a party to this Agreement on the Closing Date.

-124-

C. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to Administrative Agent (but without the consent of Administrative Agent or Company), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this Section 10.1C shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

D. Any Lender which assigns all of its Commitments and/or Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 10.1B shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.6, 2.7, 3.5C, 3.6, 9.6, 10.2 and 10.5), which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

E. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to Administrative Agent and Company, the option to provide to Company all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) the Granting Lender shall keep a record of any such grant in a comparable register to the Loan Participant Register described in Section 10.1; provided, further that Company, Administrative Agent and the Lenders 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 such Granting Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of Company relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that the SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.6 and 2.7 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Section), but neither the grant to any SPV nor the exercise by any SPV of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of Company under this Agreement except, in the case of Section 2.6, to the extent that the grant to the SPV was made with the prior written consent of Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; for the avoidance of doubt, Company shall have reasonable basis for withholding consent if an exercise by SPV immediately after the grant would result in materially increased indemnification obligations to Company at such time). The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.1, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Company and Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by Company and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.

F. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Loan Party and Lenders acknowledge and agree that Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or

-125-

obligation to determine whether any Lender or potential Lender is a Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability with respect to any assignment made to a Disqualified Institution.

10.2 Expenses; Indemnity.

A. Company hereby agrees to: (i) within 10 days after the presentation of a statement together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation (other than with respect to any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.1M), pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of White & Case LLP, one local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) and one special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary) and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each group of similarly situated Persons, special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary) and local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) and consultants) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto, of Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in connection with its or their syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement and of Administrative Agent, of each Issuing Lender in connection with the Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements entered into by such Persons and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, each of the Issuing Lenders and Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings (including, in each case without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of a single counsel to Administrative Agent, one local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) and one special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary) and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each group of similarly situated Persons, special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary) and local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) and consultants for Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the reasonable fees and disbursements of a single counsel for each of the Issuing Lenders and Lenders (taken as a whole), one local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) and one special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary) and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each group of similarly situated Persons, special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary) and local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction)); and (ii) indemnify Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender, and each of their respective Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of lead counsel, special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary) and one local counsel in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction (and one additional counsel for each group of similarly situated Persons in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest) and reasonable and documented consultants’ fees and disbursements) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not such investigation, litigation or other proceeding is brought by or on behalf of any Loan Party) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the use of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated herein or in any other Loan Document or the exercise of any of their rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, or (b) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Company or any of its Subsidiaries at any location, whether or not owned, leased or operated by Company or any of its

-126-

Subsidiaries, the non-compliance by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries with any Environmental Law (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable to any Real Property, or any Environmental Claim asserted against Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other consultants incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person to be indemnified (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

B. To the full extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against each other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit Company’s indemnification and reimbursement obligations for any such damages paid by an Indemnified Person. No party hereto shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent the liability of such party results from such party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

C. To the extent that Company fails to pay any amount required to be paid by them to Administrative Agent, under clause A of this Section 10.2, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the outstanding Term Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments at the time (in each case, determined by disregarding the pro rata share of any Defaulting Lender).

D. The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.2 shall be payable on written demand therefor. Each party’s obligations under this Section 10.2 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder.

10.3 Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to PATRIOT ACT hereby notifies Company that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT ACT, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Company and the other Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Company and the other Loan Parties in accordance with the PATRIOT ACT.

10.4 Set-Off. A. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of

-127-

Default, Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Loan Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Company against and on account of any Obligations and liabilities of the Loan Parties then due and payable to Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and the other Loan Documents, and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender shall have made any demand for payment thereof and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

B. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SECTION 10.4A, AT ANY TIME THAT THE LOANS OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATION SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE REQUISITE LENDERS OR APPROVED IN WRITING BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE NOTES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OF ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE REQUISITE LENDERS OR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS SECTION 10.4B SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER.

10.5 Ratable Sharing. A. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon security, through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Letters of Credit, Fees and other amounts then due and owing to that Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (i) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Company

-128-

expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Company to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

B. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of Company in respect of any Obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its Pro Rata Share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 10.5A and B shall be subject to (i) Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 and (ii) the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders. Furthermore, Company may extend the final maturity of Term Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments in connection with an Extension that is permitted under Section 2.15 without being obligated to effect such extensions on a pro rata basis among the Lenders (it being understood that no such extension (i) shall constitute a payment or prepayment of any Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, for purposes of this Section 10.5 or (ii) shall reduce the amount of any scheduled amortization payment due under Section 2.4A(i), except that the amount of any scheduled amortization payment due to a Lender of Extended Term Loans may be reduced to the extent provided pursuant to the express terms of the respective Extension Offer) without giving rise to any violation of this Section 10.5 or any other provision of this Agreement. Furthermore, Company may take all actions contemplated by Section 2.15 in connection with any Extension (including modifying pricing, amortization and repayments or prepayments), and in each case such actions shall be permitted, and the differing payments contemplated therein shall be permitted without giving rise to any violation of this Section 10.5 or any other provision of this Agreement.

10.6 Amendments and Waivers.

A. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective Loan Parties party hereto or thereto and the Requisite Lenders, or by Administrative Agent with the consent of the Requisite Lenders (although additional parties may be added to (and annexes may be modified to reflect such additions), and Subsidiaries of Company may be released from, the Subsidiary Guaranty and the Collateral Documents in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof without the consent of the other Loan Parties party thereto or the Requisite Lenders), provided that (1) the only consent required in connection with a change, waiver, discharge or termination described in the succeeding clause (i), shall be the written consent of all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby (or by Administrative Agent with the consent of all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby) and respective Loan Parties thereto (and the consent of the Requisite Lenders shall not be required) and (2) no other such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender, except in the case of following clause (i) in connection with any extension of final scheduled maturity or reduction (or forgiveness) of principal or interest) (with Obligations directly affected in the case of following clause (i)), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce (or forgive) the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 1.2 shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees for the purposes of this clause (i)), (ii) except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all the

-129-

Collateral Documents or the value of the Guaranties (taken as a whole), (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 10.6A (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 Term Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments on the Closing Date), (iv) reduce the “majority” voting threshold specified in the definition of “Requisite Lenders” (it being understood that, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of “Requisite Lenders” on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the Closing Date), or (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by Company of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Potential Events of Default or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of such Lender), (2) without the consent of each Issuing Lender, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 or alter its rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (3) without the consent of Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of Administrative Agent, (4) without the consent of Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of Collateral Agent, (5) except in cases where additional extensions of term loans and/or revolving loans are being afforded substantially the same treatment afforded to the Term Loans and Revolving Loans pursuant to this Agreement on the Closing Date, without the consent of the each Lender with Obligations directly and adversely affected thereby of each Class which is being allocated a lesser prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction as a result of the actions described below, alter the required application of any prepayments or repayments (or commitment reduction), as between the various Classes, pursuant to Section 2.4B(iv)(b) (it being understood, however, that the Requisite Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction, so long as the application, as amongst the various Classes, of any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction which is still required to be made is not altered), (6) without the consent of the Requisite Class Lenders of the respective Class affected thereby, amend the definition of Requisite Class Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Requisite Class Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date), (7) without the written consent of the Requisite Class Lenders of Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments, amend, modify or waive any condition precedent set forth in Section 4 with respect to the making of Revolving Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit and (8) without the written consent of the Requisite Class Lenders of Delayed Draw Term Loans and/or Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, amend, modify or waive any condition precedent set forth in Section 4 with respect to the making of Delayed Draw Term Loans. This Section 10.6 and the other voting-related provisions in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the terms of Section 2.13B.

B. If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 10.6A, the consent of the Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Company shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (a) or (b) below, to either (a) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of Company, if the respective Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Loans (or related Commitments), to replace only the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Loans of the respective non-consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (b) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Revolving Loan

-130-

Commitment (if such Lender’s consent is required as a result of its Revolving Loan Commitment) and/or repay all outstanding Loans of such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s consent and/or cash collateralize its applicable Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage, in accordance with Section 2.4B(iv)(e), provided that unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (b) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (b), the Requisite Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided, further, that Company shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 10.6A.

C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Company, the Requisite Lenders and Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, each Issuing Lender) if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment (including pursuant to an assignment to a Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 10.1) in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement and (y) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Requisite Lenders, Administrative Agent and Company (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Requisite Lenders.

D. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of Administrative Agent, Company and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans (the “Refinanced Term Loans”), with a replacement term loan tranche denominated in Dollars (the “Replacement Term Loans”) respectively, hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Margins for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margins for such Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans, at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans), and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the Latest Maturity Date of Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

E. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.1A, Company, Administrative Agent and each Incremental Term Loan Lender, each Incremental RL Lender, each Additional Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11, 2.12, 2.14 or 2.15, as the case may be, enter into an Incremental Loan Commitment Agreement, Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment, as applicable, provided that after the execution and delivery by the respective Company, Administrative Agent and each such Lender party to such Incremental Loan Commitment Agreement, such Incremental Loan Commitment Agreement may thereafter only be modified in accordance with the requirements of this Section 10.6.

-131-

F. If, following the Closing Date, Administrative Agent and Company shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a typographical, technical (including any change to Section 2.4A(i) to accurately reflect the amount of Delayed Draw Term Loans incurred by Company) or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of any Loan Document, then Administrative Agent and Company shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Requisite Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

G. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.6, (x) (i) Collateral Documents and related documents executed by the Loans Parties in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by Agent, (ii) any intercreditor arrangements entered into in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by Agent, and (iii) such Collateral Documents and related documents and intercreditor arrangements may be amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the each and Company without the need to obtain the consent of any other Person if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered (A) in order to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (B) in order to cause such Collateral Document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (C) in connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness under Incremental Loan Commitments, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (and Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof), Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Debt, Permitted Junior Priority Refinancing Debt or Refinanced Term Loans (and the addition of any collateral as Collateral in connection therewith) and the entry by Agents into intercreditor arrangements in connection therewith.

10.7 Notices; Information; Etc. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing (including telecopier) and may be personally served, telecopied or sent by United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when deposited in the mails, delivered in person or to the courier or sent by telecopier; provided that notices and communications to Administrative Agent and Company shall not be effective until received by Administrative Agent or Company, as the case may be. For the purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall be as set forth under such party’s name on the signature pages hereof or (i) as to Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office or at such other address as shall be designated by Administrative Agent in a written notice delivered to the other parties hereto and (ii) as to each other party, such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to Administrative Agent.

Company hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by Administrative Agent to Company, that it will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to Lenders under Section 6, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) is or relates to a Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion/Continuation or Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by Administrative Agent. In addition, Company agrees, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to Administrative Agent or Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by Administrative Agent.

-132-

Company agrees that Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications available to Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, LendAmend LLC or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

Company hereby acknowledges that (a) Administrative Agent will make available to Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of Company hereunder (collectively, the “Company Materials”) by posting the Company 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 Company or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Company hereby agrees that (w) all Company 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; (x) by marking Company Materials “PUBLIC,” Company shall be deemed to have authorized Administrative Agent and Lenders to treat such Company Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to any Loan Party or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Company Materials constitute non-public information identified as confidential by Company as described in Section 10.17, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.17); (y) all Company Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Company 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 Company Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless Company notifies Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents (including any drafts thereof), (2) notification of changes in the terms of the Credit Facilities, (3) administrative materials prepared by the Lead Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocations, if any, and funding and closing memoranda), and (4) other written materials reviewed and approved by Company (excluding any projections) intended for prospective Lenders after the initial distribution of the Confidential Information Memorandum. The Company further hereby acknowledges and agrees that all financial statements, certificates and other information furnished pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 6.1 are hereby deemed to be marked “PUBLIC” and may be treated accordingly by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as provided in this Section 10.7. Company shall not be under any obligation to xxxx any other Company Materials as “PUBLIC.”

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 any Loan Party or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, 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 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN

-133-

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

Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

10.8 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. A. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit hereunder.

B. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of Company set forth in Sections 2.6D, 2.7, 3.5C, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.4 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 9.2A, 9.6, 9.10 and 10.5 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement.

10.9 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between Company or any other Loan Party and Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be or operate as a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, and Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

10.10 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Company or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders), or Administrative Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

10.11 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

-134-

10.12 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

10.13 Headings. Section and Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

10.14 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. A. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN ANY MORTGAGE, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES). ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. COMPANY HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER COMPANY, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER COMPANY. COMPANY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO COMPANY AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST COMPANY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

B. COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN SECTION 10.14A ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY

-135-

WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

C. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

10.15 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders (it being understood that Lenders’ rights of assignment are subject to Section 10.1). None of Company’s rights or obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by Company without the prior written consent of all Lenders.

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

10.17 Confidentiality. Each Lender shall hold all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement which has been identified as confidential by Company in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, it being understood and agreed by Company that in any event a Lender may make (i) disclosures to Affiliates of such Lender and their respective Related Parties, (ii) disclosures reasonably required by any bona fide assignee, transferee or participant and their respective investment advisers in connection with the contemplated assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein, (iii) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof, or the NAIC, (iv) disclosures required to any 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 10.17), (v) disclosures pursuant to legal process or as required pursuant to applicable law or (vi) disclosures to any other Person with the prior written consent of Company and Administrative Agent in the exercise of their respective sole discretion; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall notify Company of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof or the NAIC (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency or the NAIC) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information; and provided, further that in no event shall any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

10.18 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one

-136-

and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Company and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

10.19 Judgment Currency.

A. Currency Conversion Rate. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

B. Discharge of Judgment. The obligations of Company in respect of any sum due from it to Lenders hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in such Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Other Currency, Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency; if the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Lenders in the Original Currency, Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Lenders against such loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to Lenders in the Original Currency, Lenders shall remit such excess to Company.

10.20 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 10.20 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then Company shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although Company shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

10.21 Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 10.21 are for the sole benefit of Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

10.22 Post-Closing Actions. The Company shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to execute and deliver the documents and complete the tasks set forth on Schedule 10.22, in each case within the time limits specified on such schedule (with any such time frame permitted to be extended by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).

After such review, I hereby certify that in my opinion the projections were (and remain) based on our good faith estimates and assumptions, believed to be reasonable at the time made and continue to be reasonable (it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections of future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ materially from the projected results contained therein).

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Collateral Agent shall have the right, without notice to Pledgors, to transfer to or to register in the name of Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights specified in Section 8(a), and (ii) Collateral Agent shall have the right to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

(c) Enforceability, etc. of Pledged Debt. All of the Pledged Debt constitutes, or when executed by the obligor thereof will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of such obligor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law) and as of the Closing Date, no indebtedness in an original principal amount in excess of $5,000,000 other than the Pledged Debt is owed to any Pledgor.

A. with respect to any Pledged Shares that are represented by a certificate (other than such Pledged Shares credited on the books of a Clearing Corporation or Securities Intermediary), physically deliver such certificated Pledged Shares to Collateral Agent, endorsed to the Collateral Agent or endorsed in blank;

B. with respect to any Pledged Shares that are not represented by a certificate, each Pledgor shall not permit any issuer of such uncertificated Pledged Shares (other than such Pledged Shares credited on the books of a Clearing Corporation or Securities Intermediary) to (i) enter into any agreement with any Person, other than the Collateral Agent whereby such issuer effectively delivers “control” of such uncertificated Pledged Shares under the UCC to such Person, or (ii) allow such uncertificated Pledged Shares to become certificated Pledged Shares unless such Pledgor complies with the procedures set forth in Section 6(b)(A) above;

(c) promptly deliver to Collateral Agent all written notices of redemption, repurchase or other defeasance received by it with respect to the Pledged Collateral.

SECTION 7. Further Assurances; Pledge Amendments.

(a) Each Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Pledgor, such Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will: (i) with respect to all Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor whereby or with respect to which Collateral Agent may obtain “control” thereof within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC (or under any provision of the UCC as same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, or under the laws of any relevant State other than the State of New York), take all actions as may be requested from time to time by Collateral Agent so that “control” of such Collateral is obtained and at all times held by Collateral Agent, (ii) from time to time execute and file and refile in the relevant filing offices (acting on its own or on the instructions of Collateral Agent or Requisite Obligors), and hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or refile without the signature of the relevant Pledgor where permitted by law, such financing or continuation statements (on appropriate forms) under the UCC as in effect in the various relevant States, covering all Pledged Collateral hereunder (with the form of such financing statements to be satisfactory to Collateral Agent and such authorization including describing the Pledged Collateral as “all assets” of such Pledgor), or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as Collateral Agent may request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby, (iii) at Collateral Agent’s request, deliver and pledge to Collateral Agent hereunder all promissory notes and other instruments (including checks) constituting Collateral, duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent, (iv) at Collateral Agent’s request, appear in and defend any claim, action or proceeding of all Persons whomsoever that may affect such Pledgor’s right and title to or Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ right, title and security interest hereunder in and to all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and the proceeds thereof and (v) execute and deliver from time to time such agreements or instruments under the laws of a country in which any Material Foreign Subsidiary is organized

that the Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable, or that Collateral Agent may reasonably request, to perfect or otherwise protect the priority of the Liens granted to Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in the stock of such Material Foreign Subsidiary and take all such other actions under the laws of such jurisdictions as Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable, or that Collateral Agent may reasonably request, to perfect or otherwise protect such Liens. Each Pledgor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement signed by such Pledgor shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed as a financing statement in any and all jurisdictions.

(b) If any Pledgor acquires (whether by purchase, stock dividend, distribution or otherwise) any additional Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt required to be pledged hereunder as provided in Section 6(b) at any time or from time to time, such Pledged Shares and Pledged Debt shall automatically (and without any further action being required to be taken) be subject to the pledge and security interests created pursuant to Section 2 hereof and, furthermore, each such Pledgor agrees that it will thereafter promptly (and in any event within five Business Days (or such longer period as agreed to by Collateral Agent in its sole discretion) after it obtains such Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt, as applicable) (i) take (or cause to be taken) all action with respect to such additional Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6(b) hereof and (ii) deliver to Collateral Agent a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by such Pledgor, in substantially the form of Schedule III annexed hereto (a “Pledge Amendment”), in respect of the additional Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt to be pledged pursuant to this Agreement. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all Pledged Shares and Pledged Debt listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to Collateral Agent shall for all purposes hereunder be considered Pledged Collateral; provided that the failure of such Pledgor to execute a Pledge Amendment with respect to any additional Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt pledged pursuant to this Agreement shall not impair the security interest of Collateral Agent therein created hereunder or otherwise adversely affect the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent hereunder with respect thereto.

SECTION 8. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.

(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral owned by it or any part thereof for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement;

(ii) each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain, and to utilize free and clear of the lien of this Agreement, any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent payment thereof is not prohibited by the terms of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that any and all dividends of equity Securities of any issuer included in the Pledged Collateral or Pledged Shares shall be, and shall forthwith be, to the extent required under the Credit Agreement, delivered to Collateral Agent to hold as, Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by such Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor and be forthwith delivered to Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with all necessary endorsements); and

(iii) Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Pledgor all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as such Pledgor may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of

enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends, principal or interest payments and other distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.

(b) Without limiting the rights of Collateral Agent in Section 12 of this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and written notice from Collateral Agent to Pledgors of its election that the following become effective:

(i) upon written notice from Collateral Agent to Pledgors, all rights of Pledgors to exercise the voting and other consensual rights (including, without limitation, all rights to give consents, waivers and ratifications) which they would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting (and all rights and powers in respect of voting) and other consensual rights (including, without limitation, all rights to give consents, waivers and ratifications) and otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though it were the outright owner thereof (whether or not transferred into the name of Collateral Agent) ;

(ii) all rights of Pledgors to receive the dividends, principal and interest payments and other distributions which they would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends, principal and interest payments and other distributions; and

(iii) all dividends, principal and interest payments and other distributions which are received by Pledgors contrary to the provisions of paragraph (ii) of this Section 8(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgors and shall forthwith be paid over to Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).

(c) In order to permit Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(b)(i) and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive under Section 8(a)(ii) or Section 8(b)(ii), each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Collateral Agent the proxy to exercise such rights and shall, upon written notice from Collateral Agent, promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Collateral Agent all such additional proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request, including to the extent necessary so that the pledge hereunder of any shares of stock of any Pledged Subsidiary which is a Material Foreign Subsidiary is registered (if not already so registered) on the appropriate books and records of such Material Foreign Subsidiary if such registration is required under applicable law in order to permit Collateral Agent to exercise such rights or to receive such dividends and other distributions.

SECTION 9. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Collateral Agent as such Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, in Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:

(a) to file one or more financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Pledged Collateral without the signature of such Pledgor;

(b) to require, ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for any and all monies due and claims for monies due or to become due under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral;

(c) to receive, endorse and collect any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith made payable to such Pledgor representing any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same; and

(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral.

SECTION 10. Collateral Agent May Perform. If any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Pledgor under subsection 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 11. Standard of Care; Purchasers of Collateral; Etc.

(a) The powers conferred on Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest hereunder in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral, it being understood that Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, (ii) taking any necessary steps (other than steps taken in accordance with the standard of care set forth above to maintain possession of the Pledged Collateral) to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral, (iii) taking any necessary steps to collect or realize upon the Secured Obligations or any guarantee therefor, or any part thereof, or any of the Pledged Collateral, (iv) initiating any action to protect the Pledged Collateral against the possibility of a decline in market value, or (v) any release of Pledged Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Collateral Agent in good faith believes to be in accordance with) Section 14 hereof. Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Collateral Agent accords its own property consisting of negotiable securities.

(b) Upon any sale of the Pledged Collateral by Collateral Agent hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of Collateral Agent or the officer making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Pledged Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

SECTION 12. Remedies.

(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled to (i) accelerate any Pledged Debt which may be accelerated in accordance with its terms, and take any other lawful action to collect upon any Pledged Debt (including, without limitation, to make any demand for payment thereon), (ii) set off any and all Pledged Collateral against any and all Secured Obligations, (iii) exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights, powers and remedies (whether vested in it by this Agreement, any Secured Debt Agreement or by law) for the protection and enforcement of its rights in respect of the Pledged Collateral, and (iv) exercise all of the rights and remedies which it may have as a secured party on default under the UCC as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Pledged Collateral) or under any other applicable laws, whether of the United States or of any state thereof or of any foreign jurisdiction, and Collateral Agent may also in its sole discretion, without demand for performance, advertisement or notice except as specified below, sell, assign and deliver, or grant options to purchase, all of such Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, or any interest therein, in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or at any of Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of such Pledged Collateral. Collateral Agent or any Lender Creditor or Lender Counterparty may be the purchaser of any or all of such Pledged Collateral at any such sale and Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Lender Creditors and Lender Counterparties (but not any Lender Creditor or Lender Creditor or Lender Counterparty or Lender Counterparties in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Obligees (as defined in Section 15(a)) 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 such Pledged Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations then owing to it as a credit on account of the purchase price for such Pledged Collateral payable by Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgors, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Pledgors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Pledged Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at

prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, such Pledgor agrees that any such private sale shall not, by virtue thereof, result in such sale being deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner and that Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it.

(c) If Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral, upon written request, each Pledgor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Shares to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to Collateral Agent all such information as Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Pledged Collateral which may be sold by Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

(d) Each and every right, power and remedy of Collateral Agent provided for in this Agreement or in any other Secured Debt Agreement, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. No notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. The Secured Parties agree that this Agreement may be enforced only by the action of Collateral Agent, in each case, acting upon the instructions of the Requisite Obligors, and that no other Secured Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of this Agreement and the Collateral Agreement.

SECTION 13. Application of Proceeds. All monies received by Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall be applied as provided in subsection 2.4D of the Credit Agreement. As set forth in subsection 2.4D of the Credit Agreement, it is understood that the Lender Creditors and the Lender Counterparties shall share in any distribution of or in respect of the Pledged Collateral by the Collateral Agent on a pro rata basis according to the amounts of Secured Obligations then due and owing, including an amount equal to the maximum amount that may be drawn under all Letters of Credit, to such Lender Creditor or Lender Counterparty, as the case may be.

SECTION 14. Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Loans. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations under the Credit Agreement, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, (b) be binding upon each Pledgor, its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Pledgor shall assign any of its rights or

obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent (with the prior written consent of the Requisite Obligors), and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns; provided that, upon a sale, transfer or disposition or release of any Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or if, as a result of a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, a transaction resulting in the Pledgor no longer being a Subsidiary of the Borrower), any Pledgor is no longer required by the terms of the Credit Agreement to be a Pledgor hereunder or any Pledged Collateral is no longer required to be covered by a security interest hereunder, the security interest created hereby in and with respect to such released Pledged Collateral shall terminate and be automatically released, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to such Pledged Collateral shall revert to the resulting owner of such Pledged Collateral. In the case of any termination referred to in the immediately preceding proviso, to the extent of such termination, upon the certification of the relevant Pledgor to the Collateral Agent following such termination that such action as may be required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement to be taken by such Pledgor with respect to the Proceeds of such Pledged Collateral has been, or promptly upon such sale, transfer or other disposition, will be taken by such Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver to such Pledgor any such Pledged Collateral held by the Collateral Agent hereunder (or certificate of title evidencing any such Pledged Collateral in the Collateral Agent’s possession), and execute and deliver to such Pledgor all releases or other documents, including UCC termination statements and releases of certificates of title, reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), but subject to the provisions of Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations) under the Credit Agreement, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit (except any Letter of Credit that has been cash collateralized on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender or for which a backstop letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender has been put in place), the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to Pledgors. Upon any such termination Collateral Agent will, at Pledgors’ expense, execute and deliver to Pledgors such documents as Pledgors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination and Pledgors shall be entitled to the return, upon their request and at their expense, against receipt and without recourse to Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties, of such of the Pledged Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof.

SECTION 15. Collateral Agent as Administrative Agent.

(a) Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, Lender Counterparties. Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of Pledged Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement; provided that Collateral Agent shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for in Section 12 in accordance with the instructions of (i) Requisite Lenders or (ii) after payment in full of all Secured Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the cancellation or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the termination of the Commitments, the holders of a majority of the aggregate notional amount (or, with respect to any Secured Hedging Agreement that has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the amount then due and payable (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any early termination payments then due) under such Secured Hedging Agreement) under all Secured Hedging Agreements (Requisite Lenders or, if applicable, such holders described in (a)(ii) above, being referred to herein as “Requisite Obligees”). In

furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section 15(a), each Lender Counterparty by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Lender Counterparty that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of Lender Creditors and Lender Counterparties in accordance with the terms of this Section 15(a).

(b) Collateral Agent shall at all times be the same Person that is Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.9 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as Collateral Agent under this Agreement; removal of Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.9 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute removal as Collateral Agent under this Agreement; and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.9 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under subsection 9.9 of the Credit Agreement by a successor Administrative Agent or replacement of the Administrative Agent as described in the proviso to the first sentence of this clause (b), that successor Administrative Agent or replacement Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all sums, securities and other items of Pledged Collateral held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Collateral Agent hereunder.

(c) Nothing herein shall be construed to make Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party liable as a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership and neither Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner in any partnership. The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless Collateral Agent shall become the absolute owner of Pledged Collateral consisting of a limited liability company Interest or a partnership interest pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, any Pledgor and/or any other Person.

(d) Except as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (c) of this Section 15, Collateral Agent, by accepting this Agreement, did not intend to become a member of any limited liability company or a partner of any partnership or otherwise be deemed to be a co-venturer with respect to any Pledgor, any limited liability company, partnership and/or any other Person either before or after an Event of Default shall have occurred. Collateral Agent shall have only those powers set forth herein and the Secured Parties shall assume none of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership or any Pledgor except as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (c) of this Section 15.

(e) Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of any Pledgor as a result of the pledge hereby effected.

(f) The acceptance by Collateral Agent of this Agreement, with all the rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time or in any event obligate Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Pledged Collateral to which it is not a party, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Pledged Collateral.

SECTION 16. Additional Pledgors. The initial Subsidiary Pledgors hereunder shall be such of the Subsidiaries of Company as set forth on Schedule V annexed hereto. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of Company may become parties hereto as additional Pledgors (each an “Additional Pledgor”), by executing a counterpart of this Agreement substantially in the form of Schedule IV annexed hereto. Upon delivery of any such counterpart to Collateral Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by Pledgors, each such Additional Pledgor shall be a Pledgor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Pledgor were an original signatory hereto. Each Pledgor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Pledgor hereunder, nor by any election of Administrative Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional Pledgor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Pledgor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Pledgor hereunder.

SECTION 17. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) Each Pledgor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party, within 10 days after the presentation of a statement together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation, for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Pledgor or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Pledgor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel, one local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) and one special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary) and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel, special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary) and local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) for each affected Secured Party or similarly situated affected Secured Parties.

(b) Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees (i) to indemnify and hold harmless Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, representatives, controlling persons, members and successors and assigns (individually an “Indemnitee”, and collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and hold harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements, and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnitee within 10 days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice for all reasonable and documented legal (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of lead counsel, special counsel to the extent reasonably necessary and one local counsel in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction (and one additional counsel, special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary) and local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) for each affected Secured Party or similarly situated affected Secured Parties, in the case of actual or potential conflicts of interest)) or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred, in each case, arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or the exercise by any Indemnitee of any right or remedy granted to it hereunder or under any other Secured Debt Agreement (but excluding any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of whatsoever kind or nature to the extent incurred or arising (x) by reason of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)) or (y) from disputes solely among Secured Parties (other than disputes against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent solely in connection with their duties in such capacities) and, in each case, not arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or its affiliates. If and to the extent that the

obligations of any Pledgor under this Section 17 are unenforceable for any reason, such Pledgor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

(c) The agreements in this Section 17 shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

(b) The obligations of each Pledgor under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever (other than release of any Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 14 hereof), including, without limitation:

SECTION 20. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

EXHIBIT XIV

[FORM OF]

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

This SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY is entered into as of June 3, 2013 by THE UNDERSIGNED (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, “Guarantors”) in favor of and for the benefit of CREDIT SUISSE AG, CAYMAN ISLANDS BRANCH, as agent for (in such capacity herein called “Guarantied Party”) the lenders (“Lenders”) from time to time party to the Credit Agreement referred to below and any Lender Counterparties (as hereinafter defined), and, subject to Section 3.14, for the benefit of the other Beneficiaries (as hereinafter defined).

RECITALS

A. Alliance HealthCare Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), has entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 3, 2013 with Guarantied Party and Lenders (said Credit Agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Credit Agreement”; except as otherwise defined, all capitalized terms used herein and defined therein shall be used herein as therein defined), providing for the making of Loans to, and the issuance of, and participation in, Letters of Credit for the account of Company, all as contemplated therein (the Lenders, each Issuing Lender, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent are herein called the “Lender Creditors”).

B. Company and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries may from time to time enter into one or more Hedge Agreements (collectively, the “Secured Hedging Agreements”) with or one or more Lenders or Affiliates thereof (each such Lender or Affiliate, even if the respective Lender subsequently ceases to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement for any reason, together with such Lenders’ and Affiliates’ successors and assigns, if any, collectively, “Lender Counterparties”) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and it is desired that the obligations of Company and/or Subsidiaries under the Secured Hedging Agreements, including the obligation of Company and/or Subsidiaries to make payments thereunder in the event of early termination thereof, together with all obligations of Company and its Subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, be guarantied hereunder other than the Excluded Swap Obligations (as hereinafter defined).

C. The proceeds of the Loans made to Company may be advanced to Guarantors and thus the Guarantied Obligations (as hereinafter defined) are being incurred for and will inure to the benefit of Guarantors (which benefits are hereby acknowledged).

D. It is a condition precedent to the making of the Loans to Company and the issuance of, and participation in, Letters of Credit for the account of Company under the Credit Agreement and to Lender Counterparties entering into Secured Hedging Agreements that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered to the Guarantied Party this Guaranty.

E. Guarantors are willing irrevocably and unconditionally to execute this Guaranty to satisfy the condition in the preceding recital and to induce the Lenders to make the Loans to Company and issue, and/or participate in, Letters of Credit for the account of Company and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries.

NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Lenders and Guarantied Party to enter into the Credit Agreement and to make Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder (including, without limitation, the issuance of, or participation in, Letters of Credit) and to induce Lender Counterparties to enter into the Secured Hedging Agreements, Guarantors hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

1.1 Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Guaranty, the following terms shall have the following meanings unless the context otherwise requires:

“Beneficiaries” means Guarantied Party, Lender Creditors and any Lender Counterparties.

“Commodity Exchange Act” means the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.), as amended from time to time, and any successor statute.

“Excluded Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any Swap Obligation, if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the guarantee of such Guarantor of, or the grant by such Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Swap Obligation (or any guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal or unlawful under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Guarantor’s failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder at the time the guarantee of such Guarantor or the grant of such security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation. If a Swap Obligation arises under a master agreement governing more than one swap, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to swaps for which such guarantee or security interest is or becomes illegal.

“Guarantied Obligations” has the meaning assigned to that term in Section 2.1(a).

“Guarantied Party” has the meaning assigned to that term in the preamble.

“Guaranty” means this Subsidiary Guaranty, dated as of June 3, 2013, as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

“Loan Document Obligations” has the meaning assigned to that term in Section 2.1(a)(i).

“payment in full”, “paid in full” or any similar term means payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations, any unasserted expense reimbursement obligations and any Letter of Credit which has been cash collateralized on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender or for which a backstop letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender has been put in place), including all principal, interest, costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of Beneficiaries as required under the Loan Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreements.

“Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Loan Party that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant Guaranty or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or such other person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

“Secured Hedging Obligations” has the meaning assigned to that term in Section 2.1(a)(ii).

1.2 Interpretation.

(a) References to “Sections” shall be to Sections of this Guaranty unless otherwise specifically provided.

(b) In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms, conditions and provisions of this Guaranty and the terms, conditions and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Guaranty shall prevail.

SECTION 2. THE GUARANTY

2.1 Guaranty of the Guarantied Obligations. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(a), each Guarantor jointly and severally hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties as primary obligor and not merely as surety the due performance and compliance by Company and each other Loan Party with, and the due and prompt payment in full of, all Guarantied Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) or any provision of foreign law having similar effect). The term “Guarantied Obligations” is used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes (in each case, to the extent not constituting Excluded Swap Obligations):

(i) any and all Obligations, liabilities and indebtedness (including, without limitation, on account of principal, premium, interest, reimbursement obligations, indemnities and fees thereon) of Company and each other Loan Party, now or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether due or not due, and however arising under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the due performance and compliance by Company and each other Loan Party with all of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained in all such Loan Documents, in each case including those arising under successive borrowing transactions under the Credit Agreement which shall either

continue the Obligations of Company and the Loan Parties or from time to time renew them after they have been satisfied and including interest which, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy or similar proceeding with respect to Company or any other Loan Party, would have accrued on any Guarantied Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against such Loan Party for such interest in the related bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding under domestic or foreign law (all such Obligations, liabilities and indebtedness under this clause (i), except to the extent consisting of obligations or liabilities with respect to Secured Hedging Agreements, being herein collectively called the “Loan Document Obligations”);

(ii) any and all obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of Company and each other Loan Party, now or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether due or not due, and however arising under the Secured Hedging Agreements, and the due performance and compliance by Company and each other Guarantied Party with all of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained therein (all such obligations, liabilities and indebtedness being herein collectively called the “Secured Hedging Obligations”); and

(iii) those expenses set forth in Section 2.7.

Each Guarantor understands, agrees and confirms that the Guarantied Party may enforce this Guaranty up to the full amount of the Guarantied Obligations against such Guarantor without proceeding against any other Guarantor, Company or any other Loan Party, or against any security for the Guarantied Obligations, or under any other guaranty covering all or a portion of the Guarantied Obligations.

(b) Additionally, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, guarantees the payment of any and all Guarantied Obligations whether or not due or payable by Company or any other Loan Party upon the occurrence in respect of Company or any Material Subsidiary, as the case may be, of any of the events specified in Section 8.6 of the Credit Agreement, and unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, jointly and severally, promises to pay such Guarantied Obligations to the Beneficiaries, or order, on demand.

2.2 Limitation on Amount Guarantied; Contribution by Guarantors. (a) Each Guarantor and each Beneficiary (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”). To effectuate the foregoing intention, anything contained in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Fraudulent Transfer Law (as hereinafter defined) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be applicable to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, such obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws, in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Guarantor (x) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to Company or other affiliates of Company to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder and (y) under any guaranty of Subordinated Indebtedness which guaranty contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this Section 2.2(a), pursuant to which the liability of such Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as

determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of such Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement (including any such right of contribution under Section 2.2(b)).

(b) Guarantors under this Guaranty and each guarantor under other guaranties, if any, of the Obligations related to the Credit Agreement (the “Related Guaranties”) which contain a contribution provision similar to that set forth in this Section 2.2(b), together desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty and the Related Guaranties. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by any Guarantor under this Guaranty or a guarantor under a Related Guaranty (a “Funding Guarantor”) that exceeds its Fair Share (as defined below) as of such date, that Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in the amount of such other Contributing Guarantor’s Fair Share Shortfall (as defined below) as of such date, with the result that all such contributions will cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments (as defined below) to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (x) the Adjusted Maximum Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Guarantor to (y) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum Amounts with respect to all Guarantors multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations guarantied. “Fair Share Shortfall” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of the Fair Share of such Contributing Guarantor over the Aggregate Payments of such Contributing Guarantor. “Adjusted Maximum Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty and the Related Guaranties determined as of such date in accordance with Section 2.2(a); provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the “Adjusted Maximum Amount” with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 2.2(b), any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty and the Related Guaranties (including in respect of this Section 2.2(b) or any similar provision contained in a Related Guaranty) minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 2.2(b) or any similar provision contained in a Related Guaranty. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder and under similar provisions in the Related Guaranties shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 2.2(b) shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder or under a Related Guaranty. Each Contributing Guarantor under a Related Guaranty is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 2.2(b).

2.3 Payment by Guarantors; Application of Payments. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(a), each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Company or any other Loan Party to pay any of the Guarantied Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) or other

provision of foreign law having similar effect), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Guarantied Party for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guarantied Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guarantied Obligations (including interest which, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to Company, would have accrued on such Guarantied Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Company for such interest in the related bankruptcy proceeding) and all other Guarantied Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid. All such payments shall be applied promptly from time to time by Guarantied Party as provided in Section 2.4D of the Credit Agreement.

2.4 Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are primary, absolute, joint and several, irrevocable, absolute, unconditional and are exclusive and independent of any security for or any other guaranty of indebtedness of Company or any other Loan Party and shall not be affected or impaired by any circumstance or occurrence which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) This Guaranty is a guaranty of prompt payment when due and performance and not of collection.

(b) Guarantied Party may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Company and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default.

(c) The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company under the Loan Documents or the Secured Hedging Agreements and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor), and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, Company or other Loan Party and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, Company or other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions.

(d) Payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guarantied Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guarantied Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Guarantied Party is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guarantied Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guarantied Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guarantied Obligations.

(e) Any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without incurring liability directly or indirectly and without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, increase or extend the time of payment of, accelerate, increase or decrease the rate of interest on or the principal amount of, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guarantied Obligations or

any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the Guarantied Obligations as so changed, extended, increased, accelerated, renewed or altered; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement relating thereto or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof and/or subordinate the payment of the same (in whole or part) to the payment of any other obligations or liabilities (whether due or not); (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guarantied Obligations and take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Guarantied Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, impair, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security or other property at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guarantied Obligations or any liabilities incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof for payment of the Guarantied Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guarantied Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guarantied Obligations; (v) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of Company or any other Loan Party to the Beneficiaries regardless of what liabilities of Company or such other Loan Party remain unpaid; (vi) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, any of the Secured Hedging Agreements, the Loan Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the Secured Hedging Agreements, the Loan Documents or any of such other instruments or agreements; (vii) take and hold security for the payment of the Guarantied Obligations and enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect of this Guaranty or the Guarantied Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale, exchange, surrender or impairment thereof or realization upon, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent with the Credit Agreement or the applicable Secured Hedging Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Company or any security for the Guarantied Obligations; (viii) exercise or refrain from exercising any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents or the Secured Hedging Agreements and (ix) take any other action or omit to take any other action in any manner which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor from its liabilities under this Guaranty (including, without limitation, any action or omission whatsoever that might otherwise vary the risk of any Guarantor or constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or that might otherwise limit recourse against any Guarantor) or deprive any Guarantor of its right to subrogation to recover full indemnity for any payments made pursuant to this Guaranty.

(f) This Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guarantied

Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents or the Secured Hedging Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guarantied Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any of the Secured Hedging Agreements, or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guarantied Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, such other Loan Document, such Secured Hedging Agreement, or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guarantied Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect or any other rescission or irregularity of all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations or of any security therefor; (iv) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a Guarantor or of any other party as to the Guarantied Obligations; (v) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking; (vi) and direction as to or the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents or any of the Secured Hedging Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guarantied Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guarantied Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guarantied Obligations; (vii) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Company or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guarantied Obligations or any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (viii) the failure of the Guarantor to receive any benefit from or as a result of its execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty; (ix) any payment made to any Beneficiary on the indebtedness which any Beneficiary repays Company or any other Loan Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding; (x) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guarantied Obligations; (xi) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Company or any Guarantor or any other Person may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guarantied Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (xii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guarantied Obligations.

2.5 Waivers by Guarantors. (a) Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law), for the benefit of Beneficiaries:

(i) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (w) proceed against Company, any Loan Party, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Person, (x) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Company, any other Guarantor or any such other guarantor or any other Person, (y) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Company or any other Person, or (z) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever;

(ii) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Company or any Guarantor or any other Person (other than payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations) including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Company or any other Loan Party from any cause other than payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations;

(iii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal;

(iv) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guarantied Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith;

(v) (w) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (x) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (y) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (z) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto;

(vi) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of the existence, creation or incurrence of any new or additional liability to which it may apply, notices of default under the Credit Agreement, the Secured Hedging Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any creation, renewal, extension, modification or accrual of the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Company or any other Loan Party, notice of proof of reliance by any Beneficiary upon this Guaranty (with the Guarantied Obligations conclusive deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, modified, supplemented or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty) and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 2.4 and any right to consent to any thereof;

(vii) any defense arising out of any election by the Beneficiaries to (x) foreclose of any collateral serving as security held by the Beneficiaries by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law) or (y) exercise any other right or remedy the Beneficiaries may have against Company, any other Loan Party or any other party (in each case, without such election affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guarantied Obligations have been paid in full), even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against Company, any other Loan Party, any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations or any other party or any security;

(viii) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Guaranty; and

(ix) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (x) all rights and benefits under Section 580a, 580b, 580d and 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure and (y) without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, all rights and benefit which might otherwise be available to such Guarantor under Sections 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2821, 2839, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Guarantied Obligations are secured by Real Property (as defined by the Credit Agreement) located in the State of California, such Guarantor shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing such Guarantor’s or any Beneficiary’s right to proceed against the Company, any other Loan Party, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations;

(c) Until the Guarantied Obligations have been paid in full in cash, each Guarantor waives its rights of subrogation and reimbursement and any other rights and defenses available to such Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code, including, without limitation, (1) any defenses such Guarantor may have to this Guaranty by reason of an election of remedies by the Lenders and (2) any rights or defenses such Guarantor may have by reason of protection afforded to any Company or any other Loan Party pursuant to the antideficiency or other laws of California limiting or discharging such Company’s or such other Loan Party’s indebtedness, including, without limitation, Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. In furtherance of such provisions, each Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Lenders, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure, destroys such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Company or any other Loan Party by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

(d) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Beneficiary nor any other Person shall be under any obligation (x) to marshal any assets in favor of such Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of any Guarantied Party under the Loan Documents or the obligation of such Guarantor hereunder or (y) to pursue any other remedy that such Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself any right to which such Guarantor hereby waives.

2.6 Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Until the Guarantied Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Company or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Company, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Company, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guarantied Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guarantied Obligations (including any such right of contribution under Section 2.2(b) or under a Related Guaranty as contemplated by Section 2.2(b)). Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Company or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Company, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guarantied Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Guarantied Party on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Guarantied Party for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

2.7 Expenses. Each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to pay or reimburse each Beneficiary, within 10 days after the presentation of a statement together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation, for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Guaranty including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel, one local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) and one special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary), and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel, special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary) and local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) to each affected Beneficiary or similarly situated affected Beneficiaries.

2.8 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guarantied Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guarantied Obligations. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Beneficiary to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

2.9 Authority of Guarantors or Company. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Company or the officers, directors, partner or any agents acting or purporting to act on any of their behalf.

2.10 Financial Condition of Company. Any Loans may be granted to Company or continued from time to time, and any Secured Hedging Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Company or any of its Subsidiaries at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Secured Hedging Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to (x) investigate the financial condition or affairs of Company, any other Loan Party or any Guarantor, (y) disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of Company or (z) advise any Guarantor of any fact respecting, or any change in, the financial condition, assets or affairs of Company, any other Loan Party or any other Guarantor that might become known to any Beneficiary at any time, whether or not such Beneficiary knows or believes or has reason to know or believe that any such fact or change is unknown to such Guarantor, or might (or does) increase the risk of such Guarantor as guarantor hereunder, or might (or would) affect the willingness of such Guarantor to continue as a guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations hereunder. Each Guarantor has knowledge and adequate means to obtain information from Company on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition, affairs and assets of Company, each other Loan Party and each other Guarantor, their ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed on an ongoing basis of the financial condition or affairs of Company, each other Loan party and each other Guarantor and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Company now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

2.11 Rights Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies given to Beneficiaries by this Guaranty are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies given to Beneficiaries by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Loan Documents, any of the Secured Hedging Agreements or any agreement between any Guarantor and any Beneficiary or Beneficiaries or between Company and any Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay by any Beneficiary in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

2.12 Bankruptcy; Post-Petition Interest; Reinstatement of Guaranty. (a) So long as any Guarantied Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Guarantied Party acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Obligees (as defined in Section 3.14), commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings of or against Company. The obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Company or by any defense which Company may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guarantied Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guarantied Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of said proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guarantied Obligations if said proceedings had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guarantied Obligations

because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guarantied Obligations which are guarantied by Guarantors pursuant to this Guaranty should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve Company of any portion of such Guarantied Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay Guarantied Party, or allow the claim of Guarantied Party in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such proceeding is commenced.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations are paid by Company, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guarantied Obligations for all purposes under this Guaranty as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

2.13 Set Off. In addition to any other rights any Beneficiary may have under law (including, without limitation, Section 151 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law) or in equity and not by way of limitation of any such rights, if any amount shall at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (such term to mean and include any “Event of Default” as defined in the Credit Agreement and any payment default under any Secured Hedging Agreement continuing after any applicable grace period) be due and owing by any Guarantor to any Beneficiary under this Guaranty, such Beneficiary is authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice (any such notice being hereby expressly waived), to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness of such Beneficiary owing to such Guarantor against and on account of the Guarantied Obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor then due and payable to any Beneficiary under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Beneficiary shall have made any demand hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, at any time that the Guarantied Obligations shall be secured by any Real Property located in the State of California, no Beneficiary shall exercise any right of set-off, lien or counterclaim or take any·court or administrative action or institute any proceedings to enforce any provision of this Guaranty without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders or, to the extent required by Section 10.6 of the Credit Agreement, all of the Lenders, if such setoff or action or proceeding would or might (pursuant to Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or Section 2924 of the California Civil Code, if applicable, or otherwise) affect or impair the validity, priority, or enforceability of the liens granted to the Guarantied Party pursuant to the Collateral Documents or the enforceability of the Guarantied Obligations hereunder , and any attempted exercise by any Beneficiary of any such right without obtaining such consent of the Requisite Lenders or the Guarantied Party shall be null and void. It is understood and agreed that the foregoing sentence of this Section 2.13 is for the sole benefit of the Beneficiaries and may be amended, modified or waived in any respect by the Requisite Lenders (without any requirement of prior notice to or consent by any Loan Party or any other Person) and does not constitute a waiver of any rights against any Loan Party or against any Collateral. Each Beneficiary (by its acceptance hereof) acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.13 are subject to the sharing provisions set forth in Section 10.6 of the Credit Agreement.

2.14 Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If (a) any or all of the stock or other equity interests of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest under this Guaranty shall be sold or otherwise disposed of or liquidated (including by merger or consolidation) in a transaction not prohibited

by the Credit Agreement or otherwise consented to by Requisite Lenders such that such Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary or (b) if such Guarantor is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a Designated Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale or other relevant event; provided that the applicable Net Asset Sale Proceeds shall be applied as set forth in, and as and to the extent required by, the Credit Agreement.

2.15 Representations and Warranties of Guarantors. In order to induce the Lenders to make loans to, and issue Letters of Credit for the account of, the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor represents and warrants as of the Closing Date, each Funding Date, the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit or the date it becomes a party to this Guaranty that (in each case as and to the extent set forth below):

(a) such Guarantor (i) is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) has all requisite organizational power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted and (iii) is qualified to do business and in good standing in every jurisdiction where its assets are located and wherever necessary to carry out its business and operations, in each case, except to the extent that such failure has not had and will not have a Material Adverse Effect;

From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of Company may become parties hereto, as additional Guarantors (each an “Additional Guarantor”), by executing a counterpart of this Guaranty. Upon delivery of any such counterpart to Administrative Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by Guarantors, each such Additional Guarantor shall be a Guarantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Guarantor were an original signatory hereof. Each Guarantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Guarantor hereunder, nor by any election of Administrative Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty shall be fully effective as to any Guarantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Guarantor hereunder. Each Additional Guarantor shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.15 of this Guaranty with respect to itself is true and correct as of the date it becomes a party to this Guaranty.

3.13 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original for all purposes; but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Guaranty shall become effective as to a Guarantor upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by such Guarantor (whether or not a counterpart hereof shall have been executed by any other Guarantor) and receipt by Guarantied Party of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

3.14 Guarantied Party as Administrative Agent.

(a) Guarantied Party has been appointed to act as Guarantied Party hereunder by Lender Creditors and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, Lender Counterparties. Guarantied Party shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action, solely in accordance with this Guaranty and the Credit Agreement; provided that Guarantied Party shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies hereunder in accordance with the instructions of (x) Requisite Lenders or (y) after the date on which all Loan Document Obligations have been paid in full, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Secured Hedging Obligations (such Requisite Lenders or majority holders of outstanding Secured Hedging Obligations, as applicable, being referred to herein as “Requisite Obligees”). In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.14, each Lender Creditor (other than the Guarantied Party acting in such capacity) and Lender Counterparty by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed by such Lender Credit and Lender Counterparty that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Guarantied Party for the benefit of Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.14.

(b) Guarantied Party shall at all times be the same Person that is Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.9 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as Guarantied Party under this Guaranty; removal of Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.9 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute removal as Guarantied Party under this Guaranty; and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.9 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Guarantied Party under this Guaranty. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under Section 9.9 of the Credit Agreement by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Guarantied Party under this Guaranty, and the retiring or removed Guarantied Party under this Guaranty shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Guarantied Party all sums held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Guarantied Party under this Guaranty, and (ii) take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Guarantied Party of the rights created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Guarantied Party shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Guaranty. After any retiring or removed Guarantied Party’s resignation or removal hereunder as Guarantied Party, the provisions of this Guaranty shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Guaranty while it was Guarantied Party hereunder.

3.15 Keepwell.

Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 3.15 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 3.15, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent

conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 3.15 shall remain in full force and effect until all Commitments under the Credit Agreement have terminated, all Loans or other Obligations thereunder which are accrued and payable have been paid or satisfied (other than Obligations arising under any Secured Hedging Agreement and other than inchoate indemnification obligations and any unasserted expense reimbursement obligations), and no Letter of Credit remains outstanding (except any Letter of Credit which has been cash collateralized or for which a backstop letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank has been put in place). Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 3.15 constitute, and this Section 3.15 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Each Grantor further agrees, absent direction of the Collateral Agent to the contrary, to prosecute diligently in accordance with reasonable business practices any Person infringing any Trademark, Patent or Copyright or any Person misappropriating any trade secret right, in each case to the extent such infringement or misappropriation, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7 Deposit Accounts; Etc.

period as may be acceptable to the Collateral Agent), a “control agreement” reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent. If any bank with which such a Deposit Account is maintained refuses to, or does not, enter into such a “control agreement,” then the respective Grantor shall either (A) promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days after the date of such request (or such longer period as may be acceptable to the Collateral Agent)) close the respective Deposit Account and transfer all balances therein to a Collateral Account or another Deposit Account meeting the requirements of this Section 4.7 or (B) if such Deposit Account is utilized to collect payments from customers of such Grantor, (I) such Deposit Account shall be closed within 60 days (or such longer period as may be acceptable to the Collateral Agent) after the date of such request and (II) prior to the closing of such Deposit Account, (1) all disbursement activities, if any, from such Deposit Account (other than transfers pursuant to succeeding clause (2)) shall be transferred within ten Business Days (or such longer period as agreed to by Collateral Agent in its sole discretion) after such request to another Deposit Account meeting the requirements of this Section 4.7 and (2) all balances in such Deposit Account shall be transferred each Business Day to a Collateral Account or another Deposit Account meeting the requirements of this Section 4.7.

(b) The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Accounts and the Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Accounts shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(c) At the Collateral Agent’s request at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall, at its own cost and expense deliver to the Collateral Agent all such original and other documents, books and records evidencing or relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Accounts and Contracts including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

5.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.

(a) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after giving reasonable notice to the relevant Grantor of its intent to do so, (A) communicate with obligors under the Accounts and/or Contracts to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts and/or Contracts, (B) directly notify the obligors with respect to any Accounts and/or under any Contracts to make payments with respect thereto as provided in the clause 5.1(b)(i), and (C) enforce collection of any such Accounts and Contracts and may adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor; provided that, (x) the failure by the Collateral Agent to give such notice the relevant Grantor shall not affect the effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created by this Section 5.2 and (y) no such notice shall be required if an Event of Default of the type described in Section 8.6 of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing. Without notice to or assent by any Grantor, the Collateral Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, apply any or all amounts then in, or thereafter deposited in, any Collateral Account toward the payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner provided in Section 5.4 of this Agreement. The reasonable costs and expenses of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), whether incurred by a Grantor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the relevant Grantor.

(b) Upon the written request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Accounts that the Accounts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the

sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Contracts to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions of each Contract. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any payment relating to such Contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Contract, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to them or to which they may be entitled at any time or times.

5.3 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 5.1 with respect to payments of Accounts, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent so requires by notice in writing to the relevant Grantor, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.4.

5.4 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds held in any Collateral Account in payment of the Secured Obligations in such order as the Collateral Agent may elect consistent with Section 2.4D of the Credit Agreement, and any part of such funds which the Collateral Agent elects not so to apply and deems not required as collateral security for the Secured Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have terminated shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. In accordance with Section 2.4D of the Credit Agreement, it is understood that the Lenders and the Lender Counterparties shall share in any distribution of or in respect of Collateral or Proceeds by the Collateral Agent on a pro rata basis according to the amounts of the Secured Obligations then due and owing, including an amount equal to the maximum amount that may be drawn under all Letters of Credit, to such Lender or Lender Counterparty, as the case may be.

5.5 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith, personally or by agents or attorneys, immediately (a) instruct all banks which have entered into a control agreement with the Collateral Agent to transfer all monies, securities and instruments held by such depositary bank to a Collateral Account, (b) apply any monies constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4, (c) take any other action as specified in clauses (1) through (5), inclusive, of Section 9-607 of the UCC, (d) collect, receive, appropriate, realize upon and take possession of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and for that purpose may enter upon the Grantor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located and remove the same and use in connection with such removal any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of such Grantor, and/or (e) forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of or liquidate and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.5, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Collateral Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Sections 9-610 and 9-615 of the New York UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

5.6 Intellectual Property Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may, by written notice to the relevant Grantor, take any or all of the following actions, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations: (i) declare the entire right, title and interest of such Grantor in and to each of the Trademarks, together with all trademark rights and rights of protection to the same, Patents and Copyrights vested in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in which event such rights, title and interest shall immediately vest, in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to in Section 6.1 hereof to execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and record said absolute assignment with the applicable agency or registrar; (ii) take and use or sell the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights and the goodwill of such Grantor’s business symbolized by the Trademarks and the right to carry on the business and use the assets of such Grantor in connection with which the Trademarks have been used; (iii) direct such Grantor to refrain, in which event such Grantor shall refrain, from using the Trademarks or Copyrights or practicing the Patents in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, and such Grantor shall execute such further documents that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to further confirm this and to transfer ownership of the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights and registrations and any pending trademark, patent or copyright applications in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyrights Office, as applicable, to the Collateral Agent and (iv) license or sublicense, whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any Trademarks, Patents or Copyrights included on the Collateral for such term and on such conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole judgment determine.

5.7 Waiver; Deficiency; Equity.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES, and each Grantor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:

(i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession or any such disposition except any damages which are the direct result of the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision);

(ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder; and

(iii) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and each Grantor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws,

and any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the relevant Grantor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Grantor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under such Grantor.

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

(c) Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such Grantor of said obligation. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other Collateral Document, the Secured Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and each other Collateral Document may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent acting upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders and that no other Secured Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents.

SECTION 6. THE COLLATERAL AGENT

6.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints, effective upon and during the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following, in each case after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after written notice by the Collateral Agent of its intent to do so:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, act, require, demand, take possession of, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for money, due or to become due, under any Account or Contract or

with respect to any other Collateral, endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and file any claim or take any other action or institute any proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Account or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable, which the Collateral Agent may deem to be necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the Secured Parties;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby and to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in each Trademark, Patent or Copyright, and to record the same;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.5, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral;

(v) obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4.4; and

(vi) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral (with such Grantor’s consent to the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such Grantor or any of its Affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral); (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate (with such Grantor’s consent to the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such Grantor or any of its Affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral); (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement

with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of past due Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

6.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6.3 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action

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

SECTION 7. COLLATERAL AGENT AS AGENT

(a) Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, Lender Counterparties. Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including without limitation the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement; provided that Collateral Agent shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for in Section 5 in accordance with the instructions of (i) Requisite Lenders or (ii) after payment in full of all Secured Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the cancellation or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the termination of the Commitments, the holders of a majority of the aggregate notional amount (or, with respect to any Secured Hedging Agreement that has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the amount then due and payable (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any early termination payments then due) under such Secured Hedging Agreement) under all Secured Hedging Agreements. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a), each Lender Counterparty, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Lender Counterparty that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders and Lenders Counterparties in accordance with the terms of this Section 7(a).

such successor Collateral Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Collateral Agent hereunder.

(c) Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have any duty whatsoever with respect to any Lender Counterparty, until it shall have received written notice in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent from a Grantor or the Lender Counterparty as to the existence and terms of the applicable Secured Hedging Agreements.

(d) Collateral Agent (and the other Secured Parties) shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of any Grantor as a result of the security interests hereby effected.

(e) The acceptance by Collateral Agent of this Agreement, with all the rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time or in any event obligate Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to which it is not a party, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Collateral.

SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Collateral Agent, provided that any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Grantor may be waived by the Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the Collateral Agent.

8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.7 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.

8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies; Discontinuance of Proceedings.

(a) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right, power or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any

other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Collateral Agent shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the other Secured Debt Agreements or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Collateral Agent may recover reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.

(b) In case the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the relevant Grantor, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the Secured Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party, within 10 days after the presentation of a statement together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation, for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Grantor or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel, one local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) and one special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary) and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel, special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary) and local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) for each affected Secured Party or similarly situated affected Secured Parties.

(b) Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees (i) to indemnify and hold harmless Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, representatives, controlling persons, members and successors and assigns (individually an “Indemnitee”, and collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and hold harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements, and (ii) to reimburse each

Indemnitee within 10 days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice for all reasonable and documented legal (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of lead counsel, special counsel to the extent reasonably necessary and one local counsel in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction (and one additional counsel, special counsel (to the extent reasonably necessary) and one local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) for each affected Secured Party or similarly situated Secured Parties, in the case of actual or potential conflicts of interest)) or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred, in each case, arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or the exercise by any Indemnitee of any right or remedy granted to it hereunder or under any other Secured Debt Agreement (but excluding any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of whatsoever kind or nature to the extent incurred or arising (x) by reason of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)) or (y) from disputes solely among Secured Parties (other than disputes against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent solely in connection with their duties in such capacities) and, in each case, not arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or its affiliates. If and to the extent that the obligations of any Grantor under this Section 8.4(b) are unenforceable for any reason, such Grantor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

(c) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, except pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement.

8.6 Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent and each Lender and any Lender Counterparty at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), 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 the Collateral Agent or such Lender or Lender Counterparty to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Collateral Agent or such Lender or Lender Counterparty may elect, against and on account any past due and unpaid obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to the Collateral Agent or such Lender or Lender Counterparty hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Collateral Agent or such Lender or Lender Counterparty against such Grantor, in any currency, arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the Collateral Agent or such Lender or Lender Counterparty may elect, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any Lender or Lender Counterparty has made any demand for payment. The

Collateral Agent and each Lender or Lender Counterparty shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Collateral Agent or such Lender or Lender Counterparty of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Collateral Agent and each Lender or Lender Counterparty under this Section 8.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Collateral Agent or such Lender or Lender Counterparty may have.
