When applying baskets, thresholds and other exceptions to the representations, covenants and Events of Default, the Dollar Equivalent to any relevant amount shall be calculated (i) in the case of any Investment, lease, Lien, loan, Debt or other relevant transaction in place on the Closing Date, as at the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of any Permitted Asset Disposition, Permitted Acquisition, Permitted Investment, lease, Permitted Lien, loan, Debt or taking other relevant action, as at the date the relevant Obligor incurs or makes the relevant Asset Disposition, Acquisition, Investment, lease, Lien, loan, Debt or takes the other relevant action. No Event of Default or breach of any representation or covenant shall arise solely as a result of a subsequent change in the Dollar equivalent of any relevant amount due to fluctuations in exchange rates.

1.5 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up for five).

1.6 Certain Calculations and Tests.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the terms of this Agreement require (i) compliance with any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, or the Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio) and/or the amount of EBITDA or Total Assets or (ii) the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) as a condition to (A) the consummation of any transaction in connection with any acquisition or similar Investment (including the assumption or incurrence of Indebtedness), (B) the making of any Restricted Payment and/or (C) the making of any Restricted Debt Payment (such action pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C), a “Limited Condition Transaction”), the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may be made, at the election of the Borrower (a “LCT Election”), (1) in the case of any acquisition or similar Investment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition or Investment or (y) the consummation of such acquisition or Investment, (2) in the case of any Restricted Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x)

the declaration of such Restricted Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Payment and (3) in the case of any Restricted Debt Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) delivery of irrevocable (which may be conditional) notice with respect to such Restricted Debt Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Debt Payment (the applicable date pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3), as applicable, the “LCT Test Date”), in each case, after giving effect to the relevant acquisition, Restricted Payment and/or Restricted Debt Payment on a Pro Forma Basis. If the Borrower has made a LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent determination of compliance with any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, or the Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio) and/or the amount of EBITDA or Total Assets with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments or Restricted Debt Payments on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, compliance with any such financial ratio or test and/or the amount of EBITDA or Total Assets shall be tested by calculating the availability under such financial ratio or test and/or the amount of EBITDA or Total Assets, as applicable, on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and any other transactions in connection therewith have been consummated (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts.

1.7 Changes in Calculations. For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that by the terms of the Loan Documents requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test (including the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Secured Leverage Ratio or the amount of Total Assets), such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.

SECTION 2. CREDIT FACILITIES

2.1 Term Commitments.

(i)    The Initial Term B Lender agrees to make a term loan to the Borrower in Dollars (a “Term B Loan” on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date in an amount not to exceed the amount of its Term B Commitment. The Term B Loans may be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, as further provided herein.

2.2 Procedure for Borrowing.

(a) [Reserved.]

(b) Subject to Section 2.14, the Borrowing on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Term B Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the

obligation of the Borrower to repay such Term B Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender shall not be entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.15 or 2.17 solely in respect of additional costs resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise.

(c) Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, there shall not at any time be more than a total of fifteen (15) Borrowings of LIBOR Loans outstanding.

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

2.3 Requests for Borrowings. To request the Borrowing of Term B Loans on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request pursuant to a Borrowing Request (a) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., three (3) Business Days before the proposed Amendment No. 1 Effective Date or (b) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., one (1) Business Day before the proposed Amendment No. 1 Effective Date. Such Borrowing Request shall be delivered by hand delivery, fax or other electronic transmission (including “.pdf” or “.tif”) to the Administrative Agent. The Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2:

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans;

(iv) in the case of Borrowings of LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”; and

(v) location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to a requested LIBOR Loan, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of the Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Term B Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

2.4 [Reserved].

2.5 [Reserved].

2.6 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) The Initial Term B Lender shall make the Term B Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 p.m., to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Term B Loan available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account designated by the Borrower in the Borrowing Request.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Initial Term B Lender prior to the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with clause (a) above and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make

available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent; provided that any such payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent is without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against such applicable Lender, forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Term B Loan included in such Borrowing.

2.7 Interest Elections.

(a) The Borrowing on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date initially shall be of the Type specified in the Borrowing Request and, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. No LIBOR Loans may be converted to a different Type prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2:

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan; and

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

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBOR Loan prior to the time specified in clause (b) above, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a

LIBOR Loan and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBOR Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

2.8 Termination of Commitments. The Term B Commitment of the Initial Term B Lender on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Lender’s Term B Loan to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1.

2.9 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of the Loans of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain the Register, as set forth in Section 9.1(b)(iv), in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

(e) Any Lender may request that the Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”) in the form of Exhibit D. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

2.10 Repayment of Term B Loans.

(a) Subject to the other paragraphs of this Section, commencing March 31, 2017, the Borrower shall (subject to the application of clause (b) below and Section 2.23) repay Borrowings on the last day of March, June, September and December in each year prior to the Maturity Date (each such date being referred to as a “Term B Loan Installment Date”), in each case in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term B Loans outstanding on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date and the final principal repayment installment of the Term B Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date (subject to Section 2.23) and shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount outstanding on such date.

(b) Prepayment of the Borrowings from:

(i) Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.11(b) and Excess Cash Flow pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans, with the application thereof to remaining installments as directed by the Borrower (or if the Borrower fails to specify, in direct order of maturity); and

(ii) any optional prepayments of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied to the remaining installments thereof, in each case, as directed by the Borrower (or if the Borrower fails to

specify, shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans, in each case, in direct order of maturity).

(c) Prior to any optional repayment of any Borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by fax or other electronic transmission (including “.pdf” or “.tif”)) of the Borrowings to be repaid not later than 12:00 p.m., (i) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, one (1) Business Day before the scheduled date of such repayment and (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, three (3) Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments of Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid. In the event the Borrower fails to specify the Borrowings to which any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied as follows first to prepay the Base Rate Loans and then to the LIBOR Loans, in each case, in direct order of maturity.

(d) Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender with Term Loans, the full amount of Term Loans on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date.

2.11 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of any Class of Loans in whole or in part, in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.10(c). Prepayments shall be accompanied by Prepayment Fees required by Section 2.11(i), if any, and accrued interest.

(b) Subject to Section 2.11(f), the Borrower shall apply, without duplication, all Net Proceeds within three (3) Business Days of receipt thereof to prepay Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(b); provided that to the extent any other Debt (other than Loans) is secured on a pari passu basis with the Loans is outstanding at the time of any such prepayment, the amount of such Net Proceeds required to repay Loans shall be the product of (x) the amount of such Net Proceeds and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and such other pari passu secured Debt requiring such a prepayment; provided, that to the extent the holders of any such other pari passu secured Debt decline their respective share of any such prepayment, such share may be retained by the Borrower and treated as a “Declined Prepayment Amount” for all purposes hereunder.

(c) Subject to Section 2.11(f), not later than 100 days after the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period (the date of such prepayment, the “Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to (i) an amount equal to the Required Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period, and, at the option of the Borrower, minus (ii) without duplication of amounts previously deducted in respect of prior Excess Cash Flow Periods, the aggregate amount of Voluntary Prepayments made at any time from the first day of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period until the Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Date; provided that no prepayment under this Section 2.11(c) shall be required to the extent that the amount thereof would not exceed $2,500,000. Prepayments pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b).

(d) [Reserved]

(e) Concurrently with any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(b), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable Net Proceeds required to repay Loans. In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to such excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.11(b), (A) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds received by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(b) (a “Foreign Prepayment Event”) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law, from being repatriated to the Borrower, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(b); it being understood that if the repatriation of the relevant affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, within 365 days following the applicable Foreign Prepayment Event, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reasonably reserved against in good faith as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has reasonably determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event would have a material adverse Tax consequence (taking into account any foreign Tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) the Net Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that to the extent that the repatriation of such Net Proceeds from the applicable Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have a material adverse Tax consequence within the 365-day period following the Foreign Prepayment Event, the applicable Foreign Subsidiary will promptly repatriate the applicable Net Proceeds and such repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reasonably reserved against in good faith as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b).

(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.11(c), (A) to the extent that any of or all the Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law, from being repatriated to the Borrower, the portion of such Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c); it being understood that if the repatriation of such Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law within 365 days following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Excess Cash Flow will be promptly applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reasonably reserved against in good faith as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c), and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary would have a material adverse Tax consequence (taking into account any foreign Tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation), the Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that to the extent that the repatriation of such Excess Cash Flow from the applicable Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have a material adverse Tax consequence within the 365-day period following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period, the applicable Foreign Subsidiary will promptly repatriate the applicable Excess Cass Flow and such repatriated Excess Cash Flow will be promptly applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reasonably reserved against in good faith as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c).

(h) Each prepayment of Loans required pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied pro rata among the Term B Loans and any other Classes of Loans requiring such prepayment and with respect to scheduled installments of principal of any such Class of Loans to such installments as directed by the Borrower, or in the absence of such direction, in the direct order of maturity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.11, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent on the date of any prepayment that it wishes to decline its share of any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), such share (the “Declined Prepayment Amount”) may be retained by the Borrower; provided that in no event shall any Lender decline any prepayment in connection with Net Proceeds from Debt.

(i) If the Borrower (x) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Loans in connection with a Repricing Transaction, or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, then the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable 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”); provided that the Borrower shall be subject to the requirements of this Section 2.11(i) only until the date that is six months following

the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

(j) Additionally, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any Loan of any Lender would otherwise be repaid or prepaid from the proceeds of other Loans being funded on the date of such repayment or prepayment, if agreed to by the Borrower and such Lender and notified to the Administrative Agent prior to the date of the applicable repayment or prepayment, all or any portion of such Lender’s Loan that would have otherwise been repaid or prepaid in connection therewith may be converted on a “cashless roll” basis into a new Loan.

2.13 Interest.

(a) The Base Rate Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The LIBOR Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest at the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a), if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees payable by the Borrower hereunder are not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of, or interest on, any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any fees, 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section (in each case, the “Default Rate”).

(d) Accrued interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such LIBOR Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and the actual number of days elapsed, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days (or three hundred sixty-six (366) days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error.

2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan:

(%3)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or

(%3)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Term B Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Loan shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) if the Borrowing Request requests a LIBOR Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Loan.

2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified under Section 2.17 and (B) Excluded Taxes); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then within thirty (30) days of receipt of a certificate of the type specified in paragraph (d) below the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time within thirty (30) days of receipt of a certificate of the type specified in paragraph (d) below the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) 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 by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a Change in Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

(d) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(e) Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (excluding loss of margin). Such loss, cost and expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan but exclusive of the Applicable Margin relating thereto, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for U.S. Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

2.17 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligor shall be free and clear of and without reduction for any Taxes except as required by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law requires any applicable withholding agent to withhold or deduct any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable withholding agent shall make such withholdings or deductions and timely pay any such Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. If the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after all required withholdings and deductions for Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including withholdings and deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) have been made, the Lender (or, in the case of a payment received by the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives on the due date an amount equal to the sum it would have received if no such withholding or deduction had been made.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.17(a), the Borrower shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) Without limiting the provisions of, and without duplication for amounts paid under, Section 2.17(a) and Section 2.17(b), the Borrower shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 30 days after written demand therefor) the Agents and the Lenders for any Indemnified Taxes (including those attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) withheld or deducted by any Obligor or Agent, or paid by any Agent or

Lender, with respect to any payment on account of any Obligations or Loan Documents, and Other Taxes, whether or not such Taxes were properly asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority (other than penalties attributable to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Agent or Lender) and reasonable expenses relating thereto. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by any Agent, or by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If the Borrower reasonably believes that any Agent or any Lender is entitled to receive a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to such Agent or Lender by any Obligor pursuant to or in respect of this Section 2.17, the Borrower (on behalf of itself and on behalf of the other Obligors) may notify (in writing) the Administrative Agent or the applicable Agent or Lender of the availability of such refund. Upon receipt of such a notice, the applicable Agent or Lender shall promptly apply for such refund unless, in the good faith judgment of such Agent or Lender, applying for such refund would cause such Agent or Lender to suffer any material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. The Borrower shall reimburse such Agent or Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or Lender incurred in pursuing such refund. If any Agent or Lender receives any such refund, it shall be governed by Section 2.17(e).Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.17, the Obligors shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (and any related expenses) to the extent the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, as the case may be, fails to notify the relevant Obligor of such possible indemnification claim within 180 days after the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives written notice from the applicable Governmental Authority of the specific tax assessment giving rise to such indemnification claim.

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

(e) If any Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Obligor or with respect to which any Obligor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay to such Obligor an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Obligor under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that (i) such Obligor, upon the request of such Agent or Lender agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Obligor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or Lender in the event such Agent or Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority and (ii) nothing herein contained shall obligate any Lender or Agent to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Obligor the payment of which would place such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in a less favorable net after tax position than such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.

(f) (%4) Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with any documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, any withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under any Loan Document. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documentation required below in Section 2.17(f)(ii) or (iii)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower) or promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of its inability to do so.

(ii)    Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.17(f)(i), above,

(%5)    Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑9 (or any successor forms) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(%5)    Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)    two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

(2)    two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑8ECI (or any successor forms);

(3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (A) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1, E-2, E-3 or E-4, as applicable (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms);

(4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by a Form W‑8ECI, W‑8BEN, W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W‑9, Form W‑8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.17 if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and not a participating lender) and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner); or

(5)    two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding Tax on any payments to such Lender under any Loan Document.

(iii)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether 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 paragraph (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iv)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17(f), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(v)    Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent with to deliver to the Obligors and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17(f).

2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16, or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds (except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Agreement with respect to the application of amounts realized from the Collateral) shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c) If (other than (x) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, including any assignee or participation that is an Obligor, the Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates or (y) as otherwise expressly provided elsewhere herein, including, without limitation, as provided in or contemplated by Section 2.22, Section 2.23, Sections 9.1(f), (i) and (j) or Section 11.1(d)) any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount

due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.6(b) or Section 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or becomes an Affected Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (i) repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans held by such Lender as of such termination date or (ii) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.1), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such Lender under Section 2.16 if any LIBOR Loan owing to such Lender is repaid or purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) such assignment shall otherwise comply with Section 9.1; provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein and (vi) until such time as such obligations are repaid or such assignment is consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, as the case may be. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against any replaced Lender. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.19(b).

(c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1 requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by (i) repaying all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date or (ii) requiring such Non-Consenting

Lender to assign (except in the case of Amendment No. 2 Assignments, in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.1) all or the affected portion of its Loans hereunder to one (1) or more assignees; provided that (a) the replacement Lender (which, in the case of Amendment No. 2 Assignments shall be the Purchasing Term B Lender) shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof and the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (b) the Borrower shall be liable to such Lender under Section 2.16 if any LIBOR Loan owing to such Lender is repaid or purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (c) with respect to any such assignment occurring on or prior to the six month anniversary of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date in connection with any amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall be liable to such Lender (and not the Lender that replaces such Lender) under Section 2.11(h) for the payment of a prepayment premium in accordance with the terms thereof, (d) except in the case of Amendment No. 2 Assignments, such assignment shall otherwise comply with Section 9.1; provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein, and (e) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.19(c); provided that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1, no Assignment and Acceptance shall be required in connection with Amendment No. 2 Assignments and such assignments shall become effective as to any Amendment No. 2 Non-Consenting Lender upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly distribute the same to the applicable Amendment No. 2 Non-Consenting Lender) of the amounts set forth in clause (a) of the proviso above for the account of such Amendment No. 2 Non-Consenting Lender.

2.20 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make or maintain any LIBOR Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent (at which time such Lender shall be deemed an “Affected Lender”), any obligations of such Affected Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Affected Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert all LIBOR Loans of such Affected Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Affected Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Affected Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

2.21 [Reserved].

2.22 Incremental Extensions of Credit.

(i) immediately prior to and after giving effect to any Increased Facility Activation Notice (and the making of any Incremental Term Loans pursuant thereto), except as otherwise agreed by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom,

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any borrowing of the Term B Loans on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date shall not be deemed to utilize any capacity under the foregoing,

(iii) the Incremental Term Loans shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term B Loans,

(iv) the Incremental Term Facility shall have an Incremental Term Maturity Date no earlier than the Maturity Date,

(v) the provisions with respect to payment of interest, original issue discount and upfront fees shall be as set forth in the applicable Increased Facility Activation Notice; provided that if the Effective Yield in respect of any Incremental Term Loans (other than Refinancing Term Loans) that are pari passu in right of payment and are secured equally and ratably with the Term B Loans provided to the Borrower exceeds the Effective Yield for the existing Term B Loans by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin for the existing Term B Loans shall be increased so that the Effective Yield in respect of such existing Term B Loans is equal to the Effective Yield for the Incremental Term Loans less 0.50%; provided, that if the applicable Incremental Term Facility includes an interest rate floor greater than that applicable to the Term B Loans, such excess amount shall be equated to yield for purposes of determining whether an increase to the Applicable Margin for the existing Term B Loans shall be required; provided, further, that if such increase is required as above, the interest rate floor (but not the Applicable Margin) applicable to the existing Term B Loans shall be increased by the lesser of (x) such excess amount and (y) the required amount of the increase,

(vi) all Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and right of security in respect of the Collateral with the Term B Loans or may be unsecured; provided that any Incremental Term Loans that are junior lien or unsecured shall be documented pursuant to a separate credit agreement, and

(vii) all terms (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Final Maturity Date) of any Incremental Term Facility not set forth herein, if not consistent with the applicable existing Term Facility, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Refinancing Term Loans, if not consistent with then current market terms, as reasonably determined by the Borrower); provided that each Incremental Term Facility shall share ratably in any mandatory prepayments of the Term Facility unless the Borrower and the lenders in respect of such Incremental Term Facility elect lesser payments.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, each increase effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount of at least $25,000,000. No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.

(b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Borrower and (to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.1 with respect to an assignment of Term B Loans to such person) the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with any transaction described in Section 2.22(a) shall execute the Incremental Activation Notice, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) the Sponsor and any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall be permitted (without Administrative Agent consent) to provide Incremental Term Loans, it being understood that in connection with such Incremental Term Loans, the Sponsor and any such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate, as applicable, shall be subject to the restrictions applicable to such persons under Section 9.1 and (ii) any Debt Fund Affiliate shall be permitted to provide any Incremental Term Loans; provided that in connection therewith, such Debt Fund Affiliate shall be subject to the restrictions applicable to Debt Fund Affiliates under Section 9.1.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, on each Increased Facility Activation Date, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loans evidenced thereby. Any such deemed amendment may be effected in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with

any Incremental Term Facility the respective Obligors shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage as necessary to reflect the increase in Debt under this Agreement.

(d) Prior to the effectiveness of any Increased Facility Activation Notice and the Incremental Term Loans thereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing documents and certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 3.1. The proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans may be used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited hereunder.

2.23 Extension Offers.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Loans of any Class, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Loans of such Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Loans of such Class and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer of such Class (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Loans and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Loans) (each, an “Extension”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Loans from the Class of Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders,

(ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to the immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Loans of any Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Loans extended pursuant to any Extension (any such extended Loans, “Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Class of Loans subject to such Extension Offer until the Final Maturity Date,

(iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the maturity date of the Class of Loans subject to such Extension Offer,

(iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Loans extended thereby,

(v) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments of the Loans, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer,

(vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans of such Lenders of the applicable Class shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer,

(vii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing and

(viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.23, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.11 and 2.18, (ii) the amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.10 shall be adjusted to give effect to the Extension of the relevant Loans and (iii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Loans of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.23 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and, subject to compliance with this Section 2.23 hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.11, and 2.18) that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.

(i) an ERISA Event or similar event with respect to a Foreign Plan shall have occurred that, when taken either alone or together with all other such ERISA Events or similar events with respect to Foreign Plans, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or

(j) a Change of Control occurs.

7.2 Action in Event of Default. (i) Upon any Event of Default specified in clause (h) of Section 7.1 with respect to the Borrower, the Commitments shall immediately terminate automatically and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other Obligations owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall automatically immediately become due and payable, and (ii) if any other Event of Default under Section 7.1 occurs, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Commitments to be terminated and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other Obligations owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately terminate and become due and payable.

(a) First, to the payment of all costs and expenses of any sale, collection or other realization on the Collateral, including reimbursement for all costs, expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith (including, without limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with any action taken pursuant to any Loan Document 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 Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any other amount required by any provision of law (including, without limitation,

Each provider of Cash Management Services or Bank Products not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 8 hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

7.4 Setoff. At any time during the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, after acceleration of the Loans, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and any of their Affiliates are authorized, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, by each Obligor, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency), funds, claims, obligations, liabilities or other Debt at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any Secured Obligations (other than, with respect to any Obligor, Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such Obligor), irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Secured Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.

All such rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations.

(b) Waivers. No waiver or course of dealing shall be established by (a) the failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to require strict performance by the Borrower with any terms of the Loan Documents, or to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to Collateral or otherwise; (b) the making of any Loan during a Default, Event of Default or other failure to satisfy any conditions precedent; or (c) acceptance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any payment or performance by an Obligor under any Loan Documents in a manner other than that specified therein.

SECTION 8.
AGENT

8.1 Appointment, Authority and Duties of the Administrative Agent.

(a) Appointment and Authority. Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Secured Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Secured Party irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into or accept all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, including each Security Document and any other intercreditor arrangements or collateral trust arrangements contemplated by this Agreement on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties named therein and agrees to be bound by the terms of each Security Document and any other agreements or documents. Each Secured Party agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver as the Administrative Agent each Loan Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Obligor or other Person; (c) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (d) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. No Secured Party shall have any right individually to take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Administrative Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, Participant or other Person, by reason of any Loan Document or any transaction relating thereto. Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Secured Party under this Agreement and the Security Documents, and each such Secured Party irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Security Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b) Duties. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. The conferral upon the Administrative Agent of any right or power shall not imply a duty to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-

agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Term Facility provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, any sub-agent and their Related Parties may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional.

(d) Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joinder of any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. The Administrative Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders or other Secured Parties with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations against all Claims that could be incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any act. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific Lenders or Secured Parties shall be required to the extent provided in Section 11.1. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Administrative Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.

8.2 Possession of Collateral. The Administrative Agent and Secured Parties appoint each Lender as agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any Collateral held or controlled by such Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession or control. If any Lender obtains possession or control of any Collateral, it shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with it in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

8.3 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, shall be fully protected in, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, telefax, telegram, telecopy, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and upon the advice and statements of Agent Professionals (including counsel to Holdings or the Borrower). The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with Agent Professionals (who may be legal counsel for the Borrower) selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such Agent Professional. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all

the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. The Administrative Agent shall have a reasonable and practicable amount of time to act upon any instruction, notice or other communication under any Loan Document, and shall not be liable for any such delay in acting.

8.4 Action upon Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, or of any failure to satisfy any conditions in Section 3, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from the Borrower or Required Lenders referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” or specifying the failure of a condition, as applicable. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or failure of such conditions, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action or refrain from taking such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. Each Secured Party agrees that, except with the written consent of the Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC or other similar dispositions of Collateral or to assert any rights relating to any Collateral.

8.5 Exculpatory Provisions. The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. No Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such person’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or material breach of the Loan Documents but in no event, to include any liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or the Borrower for (or have any duty to ascertain or acquire into) any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties made by any Obligor, any officer thereof or any Lender contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Obligor a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Secured Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor. The Agents shall not (x) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Obligor.

8.6 Successor Administrative Agent and Co-Administrative Agents.

(a) Resignation; Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(h) (solely with respect to the Borrower) shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or

delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above; provided that nothing herein shall require that the Administrative Agent resign or retire from its role as collateral agent under any Security Document, if any, whether referred to therein as administrative agent, collateral agent or any analogous term therein unless determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. If the person serving as Administrative Agent becomes the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding, the Borrower may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, remove such person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Required Lenders, appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal nonetheless shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent or the removal of any Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit and to the benefit of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact and affiliates as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. by merger or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be the Administrative Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as provided above.

(b) Separate Collateral Agent. It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction. If the Administrative Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents due to any Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may appoint, subject to the approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), an additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent. If the Administrative Agent so appoints a collateral agent or co-collateral agent, each right and remedy intended to be available to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. The parties acknowledge that the Administrative Agent is acting as collateral agent for the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Secured Parties hereby appoint the Administrative Agent to act in such capacity. The Secured Parties shall execute and deliver such documents as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent.

8.7 Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agents hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Obligor or any affiliate of any Obligor, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agents to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Secured Party has made such inquiries as it feels necessary concerning the Loan Documents, Collateral and Obligors. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties have made no representations or warranties concerning any Obligor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Secured Obligations. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in making Loans and in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors and their

affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other information and documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports, certificates, credit or other information concerning the business, affairs, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, creditworthiness or Properties of any Obligor or any affiliate of any Obligor that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates.

8.8 Indemnifications. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Holdings or the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Holdings or the Borrower to do so), each in an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the respective principal amounts of its outstanding Loans)) thereof, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or Joint Lead Arranger in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent or Joint Lead Arranger under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s or Joint Lead Arranger’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

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

8.10 Agent Titles. Each Lender, other than JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) as an “Agent,” “Joint Lead Arranger,” “Joint Bookrunner,” “Syndication Agent” or “Documentation Agent” of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.

8.11 Survival. This Section 8 shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. Other than Sections 8.1, 8.4 and 8.6, this Section 8 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Borrower or any other Person. As between Borrower and Administrative Agent, any action that the Administrative Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by Secured Parties.

8.12 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other

Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.12. The agreements in this Section 8.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

8.13 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agents and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Obligor, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans or the Commitments, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, (I) unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (II) if such sub-clause (i) is not true with respect to a Lender and such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agents and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Obligor, that: (i) none of the Agents or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto), (ii) the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement is independent (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-21) and is a bank, an insurance carrier, an investment adviser, a broker-dealer or other person that holds, or has under management or control, total assets of at least $50 million, in each case as described in 29 CFR § 2510.3-21(c)(1)(i)(A)-(E), (iii) the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to particular transactions and investment strategies (including in respect of the Obligations), (iv) the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement is a fiduciary under ERISA or the Code, or both, with respect to the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the transactions hereunder, and (v) no fee or other compensation is being paid directly to the Agents or any of their respective Affiliates for investment advice (as opposed to other services) in connection with the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement.

SECTION 9. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

9.1 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) except as otherwise permitted by Section 6.7 the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.1. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.1), and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (%4) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) below, any Lender may assign to one (1) or more Eligible Assignees (other than to any Disqualified Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that pro rata assignments among different Classes of Loans shall not be required and each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Loan) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(%5)    the Borrower; provided that (1) no consent of the Borrower shall be required (i) if an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (with respect to the Borrower only) Section 7.1(h) has occurred and is continuing and (ii) with respect to an assignment in respect of a Term Facility, if such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund in respect of a Lender (for purposes of clarity, it is understood that no assignment may be made to a Disqualified Institution) and (2) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment of any Term Loans unless it has objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days after receiving written notice thereof; and

(%5)    the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required with respect to an assignment in respect of a Term Facility, if such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund in respect of a Lender (for purposes of clarity, it is understood that no assignment may be made to a Disqualified Institution).

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

(%5)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or Related Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans, the amount of the Loans

of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $250,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Related Funds, if any;

(%5)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); and

(%5)    the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all applicable tax forms.

(%4)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(v) below and subject to clause (f) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 11.2). Upon request and surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.1 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 9.1.

(%4)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest thereon) owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (with respect to any entry related to such Lender’s Loans), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(%4)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee (subject to clause (f)), the Eligible Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Eligible Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any applicable tax forms, and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (i) above, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (v).

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one (1) or more banks or other entities (other than to any Disqualified Institution) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent

of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 11.1. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.1, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations with respect thereto including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2.19(a) and (b)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.1. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.4 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(%4)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), which written consent shall specifically acknowledge that such consent is pursuant to this Section 9.1(c)(ii).

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of or notice to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (other than to a Disqualified Institution or a natural person) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section 9.1 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee (including any Eligible Assignee) for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

(f) If any assignment or participation under this Section 9.1 is made to any Person that is a Disqualified Institution, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (1) the Borrower may, at the Borrower’s sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Person and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Person, (B) in the case of any outstanding Term Loans, held by such Person, purchase such Term Loans by paying the lesser of (I) par and (II) the amount that such Person paid to acquire such Term Loans, plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require such Person to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.1), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that in the case of clause (C) above, the relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 9.1 (except that no registration and processing fee required under this Section 9.1 shall be required with respect to any assignment pursuant to this paragraph); (ii) the Loans and Commitments held by such Person shall be deemed not to be outstanding for purposes of any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, and such Person shall not be permitted to attend meetings of the Lenders or receive information prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with this Agreement and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, (iii) such Person shall be otherwise deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, and (iv) in no event shall such Person be entitled to receive amounts set forth in Section 2.13(d). Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that Holdings and its subsidiaries will suffer irreparable harm if such Lender breaches any obligation under this Section 9.1 insofar as

such obligation relates to any assignment, participation or pledge to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent and, therefore, each Lender agrees that Holdings and/or the Borrower may seek to obtain specific performance or other equitable or injunctive relief to enforce this Section 9.1(f) against such Lender with respect to such breach without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm. Nothing in this Section 9.1(f) shall be deemed to prejudice any rights or remedies the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity; provided that the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions (other than with respect to updating the list with names of Disqualified Institutions provided in writing to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the definition of “Disqualified Institution” or providing the list (with such updates) upon request in accordance with this Section 9.1). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall not ‎(i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified ‎Institution or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any ‎Disqualified Institution. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower would suffer irreparable harm if such Lender breaches any of its obligations under Sections 9.1(a) or 9.1(d) insofar as such Sections relate to any assignment, participation or pledge to a Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent. Additionally, each Lender agrees that the Borrower may seek to obtain specific performance or other equitable or injunctive relief to enforce this Section 9.1(f) against such Lender with respect to such breach without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm.

(g) [Reserved].

(h) If the Borrower wishes to replace all Loans with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three (3) Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders, instead of prepaying the Loans to (i) require the Lenders to assign the Loans to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 11.1 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 2.19). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans shall be purchased at par, accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.5. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit A, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph (h) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Loans to an Affiliated Lender (other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) and (y) Holdings, the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries may, from time to time, purchase or prepay Loans, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis through (1) Dutch auction procedures open to all applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures to be agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or other applicable agent managing such auction) or (2) open market purchases, in each case with respect to clauses (x) and (y) of this Section 9.1(i), without the consent of the Administrative Agent; provided that:

(i) any Loans acquired by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any such purchase pursuant to Section 9.1(f)) shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof;

(ii) any Loans acquired by any Affiliated Lender may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes of cancellation of such Debt (it being understood that such Loans shall be retired and cancelled immediately and automatically upon such contribution);

(iii) in connection with any Dutch auction, such Affiliated Lender shall either (x) provide, as of the date of the effectiveness of such purchase, a customary representation and warranty that there is no material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their respective securities at such time that (A) has not been disclosed to the assigning Lender prior to such date and (B) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to assign Loans to such Affiliated Lender (in each case other than because such assigning Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their respective securities) or (y) disclose to the assigning Lender of such Loans that it cannot make such representations;

(iv) each Affiliated Lender shall identify itself as such in the applicable Assignment and Acceptance;

(v) after giving effect to such assignment and to all other assignments with all Affiliated Lenders, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then held by all Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof);

(vi) in connection with any assignment effected pursuant to a Dutch auction conducted by Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, (A) Debt under the ABL Facility shall not be utilized to fund such assignment and (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately before and after giving effect to such assignment;

(vii) by its acquisition of Loans, an Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:

(A) the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender shall be disregarded in both the numerator and denominator in the calculation of any Required Lenders vote, except that such Affiliated Lender shall have the right to vote (and the loans held by such Affiliated Lender shall not be so disregarded) with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action that requires the vote of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case may be; provided that no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action shall (1) disproportionately affect such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender as compared to other Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders or (2) deprive any Affiliated Lender of its share of any payments which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder, in each case without consent of such Affiliated Lender;

(B) the Administrative Agent shall vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender in the event that any proceeding under Section 1126 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision under any other insolvency, bankruptcy, debtor relief or debt adjustment law shall be instituted by or against the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or, alternatively, to the extent that the foregoing is deemed unenforceable for any reason, such Affiliated Lender shall vote in such proceedings in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by those Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders, in each case except to the extent that any plan of reorganization proposes to treat the obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionate adverse manner to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders;

(C) Affiliated Lenders, solely in their capacity as an Affiliated Lender, will not be entitled to (i) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender or among Lenders to which the Obligors or their representatives are not invited, (ii) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and one (1) or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made

available to any Obligor or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Section 2) or (iii) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (except with respect to rights expressly retained under this Section 9.1(i) which are not so waived); and

(D) it shall not have any right to receive advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or to Lenders other than Affiliated Lenders or to challenge the Lenders’ attorney-client privilege.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Loans to a Debt Fund Affiliate and any Debt Fund Affiliate may, from time to time, purchase Loans on a non-pro rata basis through Dutch auction procedures open to all applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis pursuant to customary procedures to be agreed between the Debt Fund Affiliate and the Administrative Agent (or other applicable agent managing such auction) or open market; provided that Debt Fund Affiliates shall not account for more than 49.9% of the amounts included in determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any amendment, modification or waiver pursuant to Section 11.1.

SECTION 10. GUARANTEE

10.1 The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby guarantee to each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if the Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Secured Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Secured Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

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 Obligor 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 10.1 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.1, or otherwise under this Guaranty, as it relates to such other Obligor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of this Guaranty in accordance with Section 10.2 hereof. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.1 constitute, and this Section 10.1 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Obligor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

10.2 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 10.1 are absolute and unconditional irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein or reasonably related thereto, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Secured Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than a defense of Full Payment), it being the intent of this Section 10.2 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of

the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to such Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Secured Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions hereof or of the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein or reasonably related thereto shall be done or omitted;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Secured Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Secured Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Secured Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or

(iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent, or any Lender or the Lenders as security for any of the Secured Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Secured Obligations.

10.3 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 10 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Secured Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender pursuant to Section 11.2.

10.4 Subrogation. Until such time as the Full Payment of the Obligations, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees not to enforce any rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including, without limitation, any such right arising under the Bankruptcy Code) or otherwise by reason of any payment by it pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.

10.5 Remedies. The Guarantors agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 7.2 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable to the extent set forth as so in Section 7.2) for purposes of Section 10.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 10.1.

10.6 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 10 is a continuing guarantee and shall apply to all Secured Obligations whenever arising.

10.7 General Limitation on Amount of Secured Obligations Guaranteed. In any action or proceeding involving any state, Federal or non-U.S. corporate law, or any state, Federal or non-U.S. bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if any portion of the obligations of the Guarantors under Section 10.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 10.1, then,

notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Consents, Amendments and Waivers.

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

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.22 with respect to any Incremental Term Facility, Section 2.23 with respect with respect to any Extension and Section 11.1(d) with respect to any Replacement Term Loans, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders (except as otherwise provided below) and (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

(i) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan, or extend the scheduled date of any interest or fee payable hereunder or the date of any scheduled amortization payment in respect of any Loan (in each case, other than the extension for administrative convenience) without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the consent of the Required Lenders),

(ii) reduce the stated rate of interest or fees payable hereunder, except in connection with waiver of a post-default increase in interest (which shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders (and shall not require the consent of each directly and adversely affected Lender)) without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (and not the Required Lenders),

(iii) extend any scheduled final maturity of any Loan owed to a Lender, without the prior written consent of such Lender (but not the consent of the Required Lenders),

(iv) increase the amount (other than in connection with the Incremental Term Facility) or extend the expiration of any Lender’s Commitment without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the consent of the Required Lenders) (it being understood that waivers of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults, Events of Default or mandatory prepayments shall not constitute any such extension),

(v) except to the extent necessary to give effect to the express intentions of this Agreement (including Sections 2.22, 2.23, 9.1 and 11.1(d) and the last paragraph of this Section 11.1(b)), which, in respect of any amendment or modification to effect such express intentions, shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders, amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.18(b) or (c) of this

Agreement in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,

(vi) amend or modify the provisions of Section 11.1(a), (b) or (c) or reduce the voting percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders,” or any other provision hereof specifying the number of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans, Replacement Term Loans and additional extensions of credit approved by the Required Lenders pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Term B Loans are included on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date), or

(vii) release all or substantially all the Collateral, or release all or substantially all of the value of the guarantees of the Obligations by the Guarantors (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) under the Security Documents, without the prior written consent of each Lender,

provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 11.1 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 11.1 shall bind any successor or assignee of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except pursuant to clauses (i) through (v) above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing (and notwithstanding Section 2.22 with respect to Incremental Term Loans, Section 2.23 with respect to Extended Term Loans or Section 11.1(d) with respect to Replacement Term Loans), this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated), supplemented or modified, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (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 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 Required Lenders and other definitions related to such new Loans.

(c) Without the consent of any Lender, the Obligors and the Administrative Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing, replacement or modification of all or any portion of the outstanding Loans (such Loans, the “Replaced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”); provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Replaced Term Loans (plus (x) the amount permitted under any basket hereunder and plus (y) the amount of accrued interest and premium thereon, any committed or undrawn amounts and underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses, associated therewith), (ii) the terms of Replacement Term Loans are (x) not (excluding pricing, fees, rate floors, premiums and optional prepayment or redemption terms), taken as a whole, materially more favorable to the lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than those applicable to the Replaced Term Loans (other than any covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Final Maturity Date (as of the date of incurrence of such Replacement Term Loans)) or (y) current market terms for such Replacement Term Loans, (iii) such Replacement Term Loans has a final maturity date equal to or later than the

final maturity date of, and has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity equal to or greater than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of, such Replaced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing and (iv) any Lender or, with the consent of the Borrower and, to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.1 with respect to an assignment of Loans to such person, the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), any person that would be an Eligible Assignee (other than to any Disqualified Institution or any natural person) may provide such Replacement Term Loans; provided further that (i) any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall be permitted (without Administrative Agent consent) to provide such Replacement Term Loans, it being understood that in connection with such Replacement Term Loans, any such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate, as applicable, shall be subject to the restrictions applicable to such persons under Section 9.1 as if such Replacement Term Loans were Term B Loans and (ii) any Debt Fund Affiliate shall be permitted to provide any Replacement Term Loans; provided that in connection therewith, such Debt Fund Affiliate shall be subject to the restrictions applicable to Debt Fund Affiliates under Section 9.1.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.1 or any Loan Document, (i) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any other Lender, effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of Section 2.21, 2.22, 2.23, 9.1(f), (i) or (j) or 11.1(d), (ii) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and (iii) guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Holdings or its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be amended, supplemented or waived without the consent of any Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order to (x) comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (y) cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (z) cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any bankruptcy plan, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such bankruptcy plan, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such bankruptcy plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other debtor relief laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such bankruptcy plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other debtor relief laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the bankruptcy court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, a Disqualified Institution or an Affiliate of a Disqualified Institution shall not have the right (unless waived by the Borrower) to receive information in respect of Holdings and its Subsidiaries provided by or on behalf of the Borrower to Lenders hereunder other than any such information that is provided for distribution to Public Lenders. Any such Disqualified Institution or Affiliate of a Disqualified Institution described in the foregoing sentence that is designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly provide notice thereof to the Lenders) as not being eligible to receive information in respect of Holdings and its Subsidiaries provided by or on behalf of the Borrower to Lenders hereunder other than any such information that is provided for distribution to Public Lenders shall constitute a “Designated Competitor Affiliate.”

11.2 Indemnification and Expenses. Each Obligor will indemnify each Agent, the Lenders, each of their affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents, controlling persons and other representatives

of the foregoing (the “Indemnified Parties”), and hold them harmless from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, and any expenses of a third party that may be awarded against any of them, and reimburse the Indemnified Parties for reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees of one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, one firm of local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) to all Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole (and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, where the Indemnified Party affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of one firm of counsel to all such affected Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole)) of any such Indemnified Party arising out of or relating to (a) any litigation, investigation or other proceeding (regardless of whether such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, its Affiliates, creditors or any other third person) that relates to the Transactions, including the financing contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents and the use or intended use of proceeds thereof, or (b) any Environmental Claims that may be incurred or asserted against any Indemnified Party arising from any actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower at any time, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary; provided that no Indemnified Person will be indemnified for any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent it has resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), (ii) a material breach of the Loan Documents by any such Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (iii) any dispute solely among Indemnified Parties and not arising out of or in connection with any act or omission of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Sponsor (other than a dispute involving claims against any Agent in its capacity as such). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Party shall be obligated to refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower to such Indemnified Person for fees, expenses or damages to the extent that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents associated with the syndication of the Loans and the preparation, execution and delivery, administration, amendment, modification, waiver and/or enforcement of the Loan Documents and Extraordinary Expenses and limited (notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein), in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of counsel to the Agents (and, if reasonably necessary, one firm of local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction); provided that, such costs and expenses shall be payable within 30 days of a written demand therefor, together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request. This Section 11.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

Furthermore, 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 Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

11.4 Credit Inquiries. Each Obligor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (but they shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Obligor; provided that obligations of Section 11.11 shall remain in full force and effect.

11.5 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal, or otherwise unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provisions.

11.6 Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations, tests or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control; provided that this Section 11.6 shall be subject to Section 11.18).

11.9 Relationship with the Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute the Administrative Agent and any Secured Party to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, nor to constitute control of the Borrower.

11.10 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, the Borrower acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any related arranging or other services by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and such Person; (ii) the Borrower have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) the Borrower are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, any of their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will not claim that any of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or their Affiliates owe a fiduciary duty or similar obligation to any of them or their Affiliates; and (c) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or their Affiliates.
