The “Maximum LC Exposure” of any Issuing Bank that becomes such after the date hereof pursuant to a designation by the Borrower as contemplated in the definition of “Issuing Banks” shall be the amount specified in the written instrument contemplated by said definition. The “Maximum LC Exposure” of any Issuing Bank may be increased at any time pursuant to a written instrument executed and delivered between the Borrower, such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent. In no event shall any Revolving Credit Lender be obligated to increase its Maximum LC Exposure upon an increase of Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.08(d). For the avoidance of doubt, concurrently with any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.10, the “Maximum LC Exposure” of each Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment.

(c)    Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the date that is five Business Days prior to the2022 Revolving Credit Termination Date,provided that in the case of any Letter of Credit having a term of longer than 12 months, the respective Issuing Bank(s) may request that such Letter of Credit include customary early termination rights (which shall in any event permit the respective beneficiary thereof to draw the full amount of such Letter of Credit upon receipt of notice of termination from such Issuing Bank(s)).

(d)    Participations.(i) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by any Issuing Bank(s), and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank(s) or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank(s) hereby grant(s) to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank(s), a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank(s), such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank(s) and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.04, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(ii)On the 2020 Amendment Effective Date, the participations in any issued and outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated so that after giving effect thereto the 2021 Revolving Credit Lenders and the 2022 Revolving Credit Lenders shall share ratably in such participations in accordance with the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (including both the 2021 Revolving Credit Commitments and the 2022 Revolving Credit Commitments from time to time in effect). Thereafter, until the 2021 Revolving Credit Termination Date, participations in any newly-issued Letters of Credit shall be allocated in accordance with the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (including both the 2021 Revolving Credit Commitments and the 2022 Revolving Credit Commitments from time to time in effect); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, participations in any new Letters of Credit that have an expiry date after the date that is five Business Days prior to the 2021 Revolving Credit Termination Date shall be allocated to the 2022 Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their 2022 Revolving Credit Commitments but only to the extent that such allocation would not cause the 2022 Revolving Credit Lenders’ 2022 Revolving Credit Exposure for all 2022 Revolving Credit Lenders at such time to exceed the Aggregate 2022 Revolving Credit Commitments; provided further that no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit that would have an expiry date after the date that is five Business Days prior to the 2021 Revolving Credit Termination Date unless such Letter of Credit would be 100% covered by the 2022 Revolving Credit Commitments of the 2022 Revolving Credit Lenders.

(iii) If the reallocation described in clause (ii) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected as a result of the limitations set forth herein, the Borrower shall provide cover in a manner consistent with Section 2.10(b)(i) for such 2021 Revolving Credit Lenders’ participations in the outstanding Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (ii) above) for so long as any such Letters of Credit are outstanding.

(e)    Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement (together with interest on the amount of such LC Disbursement for the period from the date of such LC Disbursement to but excluding the date of such reimbursement at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rateplus the Applicable Rate under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility under which such Letter of Credit is issued) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, (i) for any Letter of Credit with a face amount of $20,000,000 or more, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement if

50

such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time or (ii) for any other Letter of Credit, on the second Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement,provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Credit Base Rate Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit Base Rate Borrowing.

If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply,mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the respective Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the respective Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, if the Borrower fails to make a payment in respect of an LC Disbursement when due, or if the Borrower so instructs the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall apply the funds provided as cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.04(i) or Section 2.19(c) to reimburse the Issuing Banks and Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder, as applicable.

(f)    Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.04 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the respective Issuing Bank(s) under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit and (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.04, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Bank or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the respective Issuing Bank;provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the

51

Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that:

(i)    each Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(ii)    each Issuing Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and decline to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

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

(h)    Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank(s) for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans;provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.04, then Section 2.12(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank(s), except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.04 to reimburse such Issuing Bank(s) shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i)    Cash Collateralization. If:

(i)    an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders for the Lenders having Revolving Credit Exposures demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or

(ii)    the Borrower shall be required to provide cover for LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.10(b),

then, in each case, the Borrower shall immediately deposit into a cash collateral account in the name and under the control of the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to, in the case of an Event of Default, the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and, in the case of cover pursuant to Section 2.10(b), the amount required under Section 2.10(b);provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the

52

Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the LC Exposure under this Agreement.

For purposes of this Agreement, providing “cash collateral” or to “cash collateralize” the Letters of Credit means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Revolving Credit Lenders, as collateral for the LC Exposure, cash or deposit account balances in the currency in which the Letters of Credit are denominated and in an amount equal to the amount required to be cash collateralized pursuant to this Section 2.04(i) and pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. All cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit account with the Administrative Agent.

(j)    Existing Letters of Credit. Pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Issuing Banks have issued various “Letters of Credit” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement. On the Effective Date, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, each of such “Letters of Credit” under the Existing Credit Agreement (including the DB Letter of Credit) shall automatically, and without any action on the part of any Person, become a Letter of Credit hereunder (the Borrower hereby assuming the obligations of the “Borrower” under the Existing Credit Agreement in respect of such “Letters of Credit”), and each of the “Issuing Banks” under the Existing Credit Agreement that is an Issuing Bank hereunder hereby unconditionally releases each “Revolving Credit Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement from any liability under such “Revolving Credit Lender’s” participation under the Existing Credit Agreement in respect of such Letter of Credit. It is agreed that as of the Effective Date, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., each as an Issuing Bank, shall be deemed to be an Issuing Bank on a several and not joint basis with respect to 20%, 40% and 40% respectively, of Letter of Credit No.P-622662 previously issued under the Existing Credit Agreement and outstanding hereunder on the Effective Date pursuant to this clause (j) (and any issuing banks under the Existing Credit Agreement (other than, as applicable, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Mizuho Bank, Ltd.), shall cease to be issuing banks with respect to such letter of credit on the Effective Date).

(k)    Issuing Bank Agreements; Quarterly Reports to Lenders. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding week, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure, and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

53

Promptly following the end of each fiscal quarter, the Administrative Agent shall furnish to the Lenders information regarding all outstanding Letters of Credit as of the end of such fiscal quarter.

SECTION 2.05    [Reserved].

SECTION 2.06    Funding of Borrowings.

(a)    Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request;provided that Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement under any Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.04(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the respective Issuing Bank for such Letter of Credit.

(b)    Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 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 applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07    Interest Elections for Borrowings.

(a)    Elections by Borrower. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, 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 Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. The Borrower may elect different options for continuations and conversions 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.

(b)    Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower was requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

54

(c)    Information in Election Notices. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03:

(i)    the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options for continuations or conversions 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 Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

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

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

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

(e)    Presumption if No Notice. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if the Borrower shall default in the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan, or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement, and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08    Termination. Reduction and Incremental Facilities.

(a)    Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate at the close of business onthe Revolving(x) in the case of the 2021 Revolving Credit Commitments, the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of 2021 Revolving Credit Termination Date and (y) in the case of 2022 Revolving Credit Commitments, the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of 2022 Revolving Credit Termination Date. The Initial Term Effective Date Commitments terminated immediately after the making of the Initial Term Loans on the Effective Date. The 2018 Incremental Term Loan Commitments terminated immediately after the making of the 2018 Incremental Term Loans on the 2018 Incremental Amendment Effective Date. Unless previously terminated, the 2019 Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall terminate immediately after the making of the 2019 Incremental Term Loans on the 2019 Incremental Amendment Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the termination of the 2021 Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in this clause (a) shall not require any proportionate or corresponding termination of the 2022 Revolving Credit

55

Commitments and (y) upon such termination of the 2021 Revolving Credit Commitments the Borrower shall (and shall be permitted to) repay the 2021 Revolving Credit Loans in full without any required prepayment or repayment of the 2022 Revolving Credit Loans.

(b)    Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments(ratably among all outstanding Classes thereof, based on the outstanding Commitments thereof) or Initial Term Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or Initial Term Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and, (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce theAggregate 2021 Revolving Credit Commitmentsifbelow, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, thesum of the2021 Revolving Credit Exposureswould exceed the totalof all 2021 Revolving Credit Lenders and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate 2022 Revolving Credit Commitments below, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the 2022 Revolving Credit Exposure of all 2022 Revolving Credit Lenders.

(c)    Notice of Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable;provided that a notice of termination of Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the occurrence of other events specified in such notice, in which case such notice may be revoked or extended by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class. In connection with any such termination and repayment in full of the facilities outstanding under this Agreement, if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall enter into a payoff letter with the Borrower, which shall include customaryper-diem provisions for extended termination events, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to so enter into such letter).

(d)    Increase of Revolving Credit Commitments; Addition of Incremental Term Loans.

(i)    Requests for Incremental Facilities. The Borrower may, at any time, request that the existing Lenders or other lending entities (provided that in the case of other lending entities, such lending entity shall meet the eligibility requirements for an assignment to such lending entity under Section 9.04(b) as if it were taking an assignment of applicable Commitments or Loans) provide an increase to the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (which may include increases to the Maximum L/C Exposure of any Lender, if agreed by such Lender) (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility”) and/or add one or more term loan facilities hereunder (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”; any term loans thereunder, “Incremental Term Loans”; the Incremental Term Facilities, together with any Incremental Revolving Facility, the “Incremental Facilities”), (x) by having an existing Lender (each an “Increasing Lender”) agree to increase its then existing Revolving Credit Commitment or to provide Incremental Term Loans and/or (y) by adding as a new Lender hereunder (each an “Assuming Lender”) any Person which shall agree to provide a Revolving Credit Commitment or Incremental Term Loans hereunder, in each case with the consent of the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any Incremental

56

Revolving Facility, each Issuing Bank. For avoidance of doubt, no existing Lender shall be required to agree to provide or participate in any Incremental Facility. Any request for an Incremental Facility shall be made by notice to the Administrative Agent given by the Borrower specifying the amount and type of the relevant Incremental Facility, the existing or new Lender or Lenders providing such Incremental Facility and the date on which such increase is to be effective (the “Incremental Date”), which shall be a Business Day at least three Business Days after delivery of such notice (or such shorter period of time as the Administrative Agent may agree);provided that:

(A)    the minimum amount of Incremental Term Loans or the increase in Revolving Credit Commitments on any Incremental Date shall be $50,000,000 (and integral multiples of $25,000,000 in excess thereof);

(C)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such Incremental Date or shall result from the proposed Incremental Facility;

(D)    the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct on and as of the Incremental Date as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date);

(E)    the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenants on and as of the Incremental Date (assuming, for calculating the Total Indebtedness Ratio for this purpose, that any Incremental Revolving Facilities are fully drawn);

(F)    (i) in the case of any Incremental Term Facility, the maturity date and weighted average life to maturity thereof shall be no earlier than or shorter than, respectively, the maturity date and weighted average life to maturity, respectively, of the Initial Term Loans and (ii) any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments (including the maturity date in respect thereof);

(G)    Each Incremental Facility shall have the same collateral and guarantees from the same Loan Parties as the Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Loans hereunder and shall otherwise be pari passu in right of payment and security with the such facilities;

(H)    the interest rates and amortization schedule (subject to clause (F)(i) above) applicable to any Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder;provided that with respect to any Incremental Term Facility incurred on or prior to the 12 month anniversary of the Effective Date, theall-in yield (whether in the form of interest rate margins, original issue discount, upfront fees or LIBO Rate or Base Rate floors (but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring,

57

syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders or holders of such new indebtedness)) applicable to any Incremental Term Facility (determined, including with respect to the LIBO Rate or Base Rate, at the time such Incremental Term Facility is incurred) will not be more than 50 basis points higher than the correspondingall-in yield (calculated as set forth above) for the Initial Term Loans (determined, including with respect to the LIBO Rate or Base Rate, at the time the Incremental Term Facility is incurred), unless the interest rate margins with respect to the Initial Term Loans are increased by an amount equal to the difference between theall-in yield with respect to the Incremental Term Facility and the correspondingall-in yield on the Initial Term Loans minus 50 basis points (this clause (H), the “MFN Condition”);

(I)    any Incremental Term Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined,provided that (a) except to the extent permitted by clause (F)(i) or (H) above, to the extent such terms are not consistent with the terms in respect of the Initial Term Loans, they shall be no more restrictive, when taken as a whole, than those in respect of the Initial Term Loans (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest final maturity date of the Initial Term Loans) and (b) to the extent such documentation is not consistent with the documentation in respect of the Initial Term Loans, it shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent

(ii)    Effectiveness of Incremental Facilities. Each Assuming Lender, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder as of the Incremental Date; the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Increasing Lender and Assuming Lender shall be increased or effective, if and as applicable, on the Incremental Date; and each Increasing Lender and Assuming Lender shall be obligated to make Incremental Term Loans, if applicable, on the Incremental Date; in each case,provided that:

(x)    the Administrative Agent shall have received on such Incremental Date a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower stating that each of the applicable conditions to such Incremental Facilities set forth in this Section 2.08(d) has been satisfied; and

(y)    with respect to each Assuming Lender and each Increasing Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have received, on such Incremental Date, an executed Incremental Agreement.

(iii)    Recordation into Register. Upon its receipt of an agreement referred to in clause (ii)(y) above executed by an Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, as applicable, together with the certificate referred to in clause (ii)(x) above, the Administrative Agent shall, if such agreement has been completed, (x) accept such agreement, (y) record the information contained therein in the Register and (z) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

(iv)    Adjustments of Borrowings upon Effectiveness of Incremental Facilities.

All amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments hereunder made pursuant tosub-clauses (y), (z) or (aa) shall be applied first to Term Loans and second to Revolving Credit Loans (without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments). Unless a particular Class of Term Loans (or, if applicable Revolving Credit Loans) has agreed to accept a lower prepayment amount, prepayments made pursuant tosub-clauses (y), (z) or (aa) shall be allocated ratably among the outstanding Classes of Term Loans (or, if applicable, Classes of Revolving Credit Loans based on the outstanding amounts thereof). Each mandatory prepayment of Term Loans shall be allocated to the installments thereof as directed by the Borrower.

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

67

penalties, interest and reasonable expenses, other than penalties, interest and expenses to the extent solely attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, or such Lender, respectively, arising therefrom or with respect thereto during the period prior to the Obligors making the payment demanded under this paragraph (c)), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Obligor Representative by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

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

(f)    Forms Requirements.

(i)    Each Foreign Lender (or assignee or Participant, as applicable) shall deliver to the Obligor Representative and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) FormW-8BEN, FormW-8BEN-E , FormW-8ECI, Form W-8EXP, or FormW-8IMY or successor thereto (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), or, in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit D and the applicable IRS FormW-8, or any subsequent versions of any applicable FormW-8 or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, such FormW-8 shall establish an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, such FormW-8 shall establish an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty. Any such forms (and any other forms or documentation prescribed by law and reasonably requested by the Obligor Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld) shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender

68

on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Obligor Representative or the Administrative Agent and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law. In addition, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the expiration, inaccuracy, obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Obligor Representative and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to legally provide any previously delivered certificate to the Obligor Representative (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(ii)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction ofnon-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Obligors are located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Obligor Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Obligor Representative, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(iii)    FATCA. 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 Obligor Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Obligor Representative 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 Obligor Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Obligor Representative and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iv)    Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Obligor Representative and the Administrative Agent on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Obligor Representative or the Administrative Agent and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, two duly and accurately completed copies of IRS FormW-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(v)    For purposes of Section 2.16(f), each of the terms “Lender” and “Foreign Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank.

(g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank determines, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund

69

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

SECTION 2.17    Payments Generally: Pro Rata Treatment: Sharing ofSet-Offs.

(a)    Payments by Obligors. The Obligors shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, withoutset-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at such of its offices in New York City as shall be notified to the relevant parties from time to time, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. 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, and the Obligors shall have no liability in the event timely or correct distribution of such payments is not so made. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars.

(b)    Application if Payments Insufficient. Subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all Obligations then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied in the following order:

(i)    First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts owing under Section 2.04) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

(ii)    Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations payable to the Lenders and any Issuing Bank in their capacity as such constituting accrued and unpaid fees with respect to Letters

70

of Credit and interest on the Loans, interest on extensions of credit with respect to Letters of Credit and interest on other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and any Issuing Bank in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clauseSecond payable to them;

(iii)    Third, to (a) payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting (i) Secured Hedging Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations and (ii) unpaid principal of the Loans and extensions of credit with respect to Letters of Credit, and (b) the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank, to cash collateralize that portion of LC Exposure comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit (in an amount required by Section 2.04), ratably among the Persons owed such amounts in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clauseThird held by them;

(iv)    Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal, interest and fees with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit) payable to the Lenders and any Issuing Bank in their capacity as such (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and respective Issuing Bank and amounts owing under Section 2.04), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clauseFourth payable to them;

(v)    Fifth, to all other Obligations; and

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

Amounts used to cash collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clauseFourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts received from any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor.

(c)    Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, (i) each Borrowing of a particular Class from the Lenders under Section 2.01 hereof shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fees under Section 2.11 hereof in respect of Commitments of a particular Class shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.08 hereof shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) Eurodollar Loans of any Class having the same Interest Period shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal of Loans of a particular Class shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; (iv) each payment by the Borrower of interest on Loans of a particular Class shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; and (v) each payment by the Borrower of participation fees in respect of Letters of Credit shall be made for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of participation fees then due and payable to the Revolving Credit Lenders.

(d)    Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, any Lender shall, by exercising any right ofset-off or

71

counterclaim or otherwise (including through voluntary prepayment by the Borrower), obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans (or participations in LC Disbursements) of any Class resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate principal amount of its Loans (and participations in LC Disbursements) of such Class and accrued interest thereon than the proportion of such amounts received by any other Lender of such Class or any other Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans (and LC Disbursements) of the other Lendersof such Class to the extent necessary so that the benefit of such payments shall be shared by all the Lendersof such Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans (and participations in LC Disbursements);provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans (or participations in LC Disbursements) to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Obligors consent to the foregoing and agree, 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 Obligors’ rights ofset-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Obligors in the amount of such participation.

(e)    Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Obligor Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank entitled thereto (the “Applicable Recipient”) 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 Applicable Recipient the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each Applicable Recipient severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Applicable Recipient 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(f)    Certain Deductions by Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(d), 2.04(e), 2.06(b) or 2.17(e), 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 Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.18    Mitigation Obligations: Replacement of Lenders.

(a)    Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Obligors are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall, if requested by the Obligor Representative, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans (or participations in LC Disbursements) hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage;provided, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Obligors or the rights or obligations of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14

72

or 2.16. The Obligors hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)    Replacement of Lenders — Increased Costs. Etc. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Obligors are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent given by the Obligor Representative, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), 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 (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (and participations in LC Disbursements), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Obligors (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments; provided, further, that until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Obligor shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. No assignment pursuant to this Section 2.18(b) shall be deemed to impair any claim that the Borrower may have against any Lender that defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder.

(c)    Replacement of Lenders — Amendments. If, in connection with a request by the Borrower to obtain the consent of the Lenders to a waiver, amendment or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement that requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all affected Lenders under Section 9.02 (or, as applicable, all or all affected Lenders of a Class), one or more Lenders (the “Declining Lenders”) having Loans, LC Exposure and unused Commitments representing not more than 50% of the sum of the total Loans, LC Exposure and unused Commitments (or those of a Class, if applicable) at such time have declined to agree to such request, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender(s) and the Administrative Agent given by the Borrower, require all (but not less than all) of such Declining Lenders to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all their interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees that shall assume such obligations (any of which assignees 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 (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed and (ii) each such Declining Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (and participations in LC Disbursements), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under any other Loan Document, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Obligors (in the case of all other amounts).

SECTION 2.19    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

73

(a)    fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11;

(b)    the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders (including of any Class) have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02);provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply in the case of a waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby (other than with respect to Section 9.02(b)(iii));

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

(i)    all or any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among thenon-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of allnon-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of allnon-Defaulting Lenders’ RevolvingCredit Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and its LC Exposure is reallocated;

(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be promptly delivered by the Administrative Agent upon the failure of the reallocation in clause (i) above to be fully effected) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above), which cash collateral shall be deposited into a cash collateral account in the name of and under the control of the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)    if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.19(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv)    if the LC Exposure of thenon-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 2.19(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with suchnon-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; or

(v)    if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.19(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(d)    so long as any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that 100% of the related exposure will be covered by the Commitments of thenon-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19(c), and participating interests

74

in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated amongnon-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(e)    (i) if a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Parent of any Revolving Credit Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Revolving Credit Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Revolving Credit Lender commits to extend credit, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Revolving Credit Lender, satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, to defease any risk to the Issuing Bank in respect of such Revolving Credit Lender hereunder.

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

SECTION 2.20    Replacement Financing.

(a)    The Borrower may, subject to the terms hereof, at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, enter into an amendment (a “Refinancing Amendment”) to effect a refinancing or replacement of all or any portion of the Term Loans or all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans (or unused Revolving Credit Commitments or any Class thereof). Each such refinancing or replacement may, at the Borrower’s option, be in the form of a new senior secured revolving credit facility, one or more series of senior secured loans or notes (each of which may be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu or junior basis to the Obligations), or with one or more series of unsecured loans or notes (collectively, the “Replacement Financing”);provided that (i) the commitments under any replacement revolving credit facility shall be documented under this Agreement and shall be utilized ratably with the remaining Revolving Credit Commitments (if any), (ii) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Financing shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such refinanced facilities, plus accrued interest, expenses, fees and premiums, plus amounts permitted to be incurred as Incremental Facilities (and for the avoidance of doubt any amount issued pursuant to the immediately preceding clause shall reduce availability under the Incremental Facilities on adollar-for-dollar basis and be subject to the limitations applicable to such Incremental Facilities), (iii) any Replacement Financing (1) that is secured does not mature prior to, or have a weighted average life to maturity shorter than, the loans or commitments being refinanced and (2) that is unsecured does not mature prior to ^the date that is the 91st day following the maturity date of the loans or commitments being refinanced and the terms of such Indebtedness do not provide for any mandatory redemption (other than customary asset sale or event of loss, change of control mandatory offers to purchase and customary acceleration rights after an event of default) prior tothe date that is the 91st day following the maturity date of the loans or notes being refinanced, (iv) any Replacement Financing in the form of pari passu first lien term loans shall be subject to the MFN Condition as if it were an Incremental Term Facility, (v) to the extent such Replacement Financing is secured, it shall be secured only by the Collateral and on a pari passu or junior basis with the Collateral, (vi) to the extent such Replacement Financing is secured, the parties to such Replacement Financing (or their authorized agent) and the Administrative Agent shall, as applicable, enter into an Intercreditor Agreement, (vii) the obligors in respect of any Replacement Financing shall be Loan Parties, (viii) the proceeds thereof shall be applied substantially simultaneously with the incurrence thereof to permanently repay the loans or commitments being refinanced, (ix) to the extent the terms of the

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 9.02), the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may enter into amendments to the Loan Documentation without the consent of any other parties hereto to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20, including without limitation, amendments to this Agreement to permit any Replacement Financing under the terms of the Loans Documents.

SECTION 2.21    NewCo Financing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the Borrower shall be permitted to form wholly-owned passive holding company Restricted Subsidiaries (each, a “NewCo”), which shall not be required to be Guarantors. The Borrower may contribute the Equity Interests of Subsidiary Guarantors (and any other Subsidiaries that are direct or indirect subsidiaries of such Subsidiary Guarantors (and not direct subsidiaries of NewCo)) to a NewCo, however, this shall not impact the guaranty requirements set forth in this Agreement with respect to any such entities owned by a NewCo, and a NewCo itself (but not any entities it owns) shall be disregarded in calculating the guaranty requirement test set forth in Section 5.09(b). Any NewCo shall be a passive holding company and shall not own any material assets or conduct any material business other than the ownership of the Equity Interests of Subsidiary Guarantors (and their Subsidiaries) as set forth above, provided that a NewCo may incur unsecured Indebtedness (and may conduct activities related to such incurrence and maintenance of such Indebtedness) (a) that is not Guaranteed by or for which other credit support is provided by any other person other than an unsecured Guarantee from the Parent Guarantor, (b) the terms of which do not restrict the ability of the Secured Parties (or an agent on their behalf) under the Loan Documents (or under any Indebtedness that replaces or refinances any facilities under the Loan Documents) to realize on the value of the Guarantees and security with respect to such Subsidiary Guarantors, (c) which such Indebtedness shall not contain any restriction on dividends or similar distributions by NewCo or any of the entities owned directly or indirectly by NewCo, (d) which such indebtedness represents a refinancing or replacement of existing Indebtedness at the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower in an amount no greater than the principal amount of such refinanced or replaced indebtedness, plus amounts to pay accrued interest, fees and related expenses and (e) the other terms of which are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (“NewCo Indebtedness”, the transfer of equity in Guarantors (and their Subsidiaries) to a NewCo as set forth above, a “NewCo Transfer”).

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE

Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. were not the Administrative Agent, and any bank serving in the capacity of Administrative Agent from

104

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

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or, if provided herein, with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders of a particular Class, or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or in connection herewith of therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, where unanimous consent of the Lenders is expressly required hereunder, such Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which 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 any Loan Document in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

105

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties, and exercise its rights and powers, by or through any one or moresub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any suchsub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any suchsub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any suchsub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent hereby appoints each of the other Lenders to serve as bailee to perfect the Administrative Agent’s Liens in any Collateral in the possession of any such other Lender and each Lender possessing any such Collateral agrees to so act as bailee for the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Obligor Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after such retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then such retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring Administrative Agent, and such retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent;provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank.

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

106

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, lead arrangers, syndication agents or documentation agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in their capacity, if any, as the Administrative Agent, Lenders or Issuing Banks hereunder.

It is hereby agreed acknowledges that the provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to the Issuing Bank, in its capacity as issuer of any Letter of Credit, in the same manner as such provisions are expressly stated to apply to the Administrative Agent.

Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance withSection 9.08 or with respect to a Lender’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Trustee on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Trustee, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Loan Document Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no Hedging Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, the obligations under which constitute Secured Hedging Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such Hedging Agreement or Cash Management Agreement shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent, the Collateral Trustee to serve as collateral trustee, under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Collateral Trustee, at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Trustee under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted to be prior to the Liens securing the Obligations pursuant to Section 6.02 and to release any Guarantee or Lien pursuant to the terms of Section 9.16. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Trustee’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, State or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any LC Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Loan Parties) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

107

(y)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Trustee allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(z)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03).

The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Trustee, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consult pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article VIII, none of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article VIII.

The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

Subject to paragraph (e)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the limitations and requirements of, Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender,provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(d) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for tax purposes as anon-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”);provided,however, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to the Borrower or any other Person without such Lender’s prior written consent (including, without, limitation, the identity of any participant or any information relating to such participant’s participating interest) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that a Loan or other obligation is in registered form underSection 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, each Obligor and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(ii)    Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 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. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant complies with Section 2.16(f) as though it were a Lender.

116

(f)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank (or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender), and this Section 9.04 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 assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g)    No Assignments or Participations to Borrower or Affiliates.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swaps or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support“QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a“Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the“U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a“Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
