The Applicable Margins for any Tranche of Refinancing Term Loans shall be as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment. The Applicable Margins for any Tranche of Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments shall be as specified in the applicable Extension Amendment.

1.03Limited Condition Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:

(i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any financial ratio set forth inSection 2.15(a)); or

(ii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets determined by reference to LTM Consolidated EBITDA); or

(iii) determining other compliance with this Agreement (including the determination that representations and warranties are true and correct and that no Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom);

in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be made (1) in the case of any acquisition (including by way of merger) or similar Investment (including the assumption or incurrence of Indebtedness in connection therewith), at the time of (or, in the case of any calculation or any financial ratio or test, with respect to, or as of the last day of, the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition or Investment, (y) if such transaction is governed by the United Kingdom Code on Takeovers and Mergers or similar laws in other jurisdictions where no definitive documentation is entered into, but certainty of funding is required, the public announcement of an intention to make an offer in respect of the target of such acquisition or Investment or (z) the consummation of such acquisition or Investment, (2) in the case of any Dividend, at the time of (or, in the case of any calculation or any financial ratio or test, with respect to, or as of the last day of, the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) the irrevocable declaration of such Dividend or (y) the making of such Dividend and (3) in the case of any voluntary or optional payment or prepayment on or redemption or acquisition for value of any Indebtedness subject toSection 10.07(i), at the time of (or, in the case of any calculation or any financial ratio or test, with respect to, or as of the last day of, the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) delivery of irrevocable notice with respect to such payment or prepayment or redemption or acquisition of such Indebtedness or (y) the making of such voluntary or optional payment or prepayment on or redemption or acquisition for value of any Indebtedness (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, for the Limited Condition Transaction (and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith), Holdings or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in LTM Consolidated EBITDA of the Parent Company, Holdings or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the

-74-

consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have failed to have been complied with as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of Dividends, the making of any Permitted Investment, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Holdings, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (each, a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement, public announcement or irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, revoked or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

1.04Classification. It is understood and agreed that any Lien, sale, lease or other disposition of assets, Dividend (or a portion thereof), Indebtedness, Investment, Affiliate transaction or prepayment of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Lien, sale, lease or other disposition of assets, Dividend (or portion thereof), Indebtedness, Investment, Affiliate transaction or prepayment of Indebtedness under Sections 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04, 10.05, 10.06 and 10.07(i), respectively, but may instead be permitted in part under any combination thereof (it being understood that (x) the Borrower may utilize amounts under any category that is subject to any financial ratio or test, including the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, prior to amounts under any other category and (y) any Indebtedness, Lien or Dividend made pursuant to a Fixed Amount Basket shall cease to be deemed made pursuant to such Fixed Amount Basket but shall automatically be deemed made pursuant to an applicable Ratio Based Basket from and after the first date on which Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, could have incurred such Indebtedness, granted such Lien or made such Dividend or prepayment of Indebtedness, as applicable, under Sections 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04, 10.05, 10.06 and 10.07(i), pursuant to such Ratio Based Basket). It is further understood and agreed that,unless the Borrower elects otherwise, if any transaction is undertaken in compliance with any provision under Section 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04, 10.05, 10.06 or 10.07 in reliance on the testing of any ratio (a “Ratio Based Basket”) on the same date that a transaction is undertaken under such Section in reliance on anynon-ratio based provision (a “Fixed Amount Basket”), then (a) testing of any Ratio Based Basket will be calculated without regard to the utilization of any Fixed Amount Basket and (b) except as provided in clause (a),Pro Forma Effect will be given to the entire transaction.

1.05Divisions. For all purposes under the Credit Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

Section 2.Amount and Terms of Credit.

2.01The Commitments.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with an Initial Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make an Initial Term Loan to the Borrower, which Initial Term Loans (i) shall be incurred by the Borrower pursuant to a single drawing on the Closing Date, (ii) shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars, (iii) shall, except as hereinafter provided, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, one or more Borrowings of Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans;provided that all Initial Term Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, and (iv) shall be made by each such Lender in that aggregate principal amount which does not exceed the Initial Term Loan Commitment of such Lender on the Closing Date (before giving effect to the termination thereof pursuant toSection 4.02(d)). Once repaid, Initial Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender with a Closing Date Revolving Commitment agrees, severally and not jointly, to make revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. Dollars (the “Initial Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date until the earlier of one (1) Business Day prior to the Initial Maturity Date for Initial Revolving Loans and the termination of the Closing Date Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Closing Date Revolving Commitment. Within the limits set forth above and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

(c) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment from time to time severally agrees to make Incremental Term Loans to the Borrower, which Incremental Term Loans (i) shall be incurred pursuant to a single drawing on the applicable Incremental Term Loan Borrowing Date, (ii) shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars, (iii) shall, except as hereinafter provided, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into one or more Borrowings of Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans;provided that all Incremental Term Loans of a given Tranche made as part of the same Borrowing shall at all times consist of Incremental Term Loans of the same Type, and (iv) shall not exceed for any such Incremental Term Loan Lender at any time of any incurrence thereof, the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Loan Lender for such Tranche (before giving effect to the termination thereof on such date pursuant toSection 4.02(b)). Once repaid, Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(d) Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan;provided that any exercise of such option shall not (i) affect in any manner the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) excuse or relieve any Lender from its Commitment to make any such Loan to the extent not so made by such branch or Affiliate.

-76-

2.02Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing.

(a) The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans under any Tranche shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than eight (8) Borrowings of LIBO Rate Loans in the aggregate for all Tranches of Loans.

(b) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Revolving Commitments;provided that the failure of any Revolving Lender to make any Revolving Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by such other Revolving Lender). Except for Revolving Loans deemed made pursuant toSection 2.04(b)(iv), Revolving Loans comprising any Borrowing shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount.

2.03Notice of Borrowing. Whenever the Borrower desires to make a Borrowing of Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office written notice on the day of each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be made hereunder and at least three (3) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole and absolute discretion) prior written notice of each LIBO Rate Loan to be made hereunder;provided that (a) in each case, any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on such day (or such later time as the Administrative Agent shall agree in it its sole and absolute discretion), (b) in any event, any such notice with respect to Initial Term Loans and Initial Revolving Loans to be incurred on the Closing Date may be given (including in the case of any LIBO Rate Borrowing of Initial Term Loans) one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date and (c) that if the Borrower wishes to request LIBO Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration, or less than one month in duration with the consent of the Administrative Agent, in each case as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., four (4) Business Days (or such later time as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole and absolute discretion) prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, in each case, having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each applicable Lender with a Commitment of the relevant Tranche of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00 a.m., three (3) Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period that is other than one, two, three or six months in duration has been consented to by such Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided inSection 2.11, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing by or on behalf of the Borrower, in the form ofExhibit A-1 or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist

-77-

of Initial Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans or Revolving Loans, (iv) whether the Loans being made pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans, (v) in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto and (vi) the account of the Borrower into which the proceeds of such Loans shall be deposited or other wire instructions therefor. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender of the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof (determined in accordance withSection 2.07) and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

2.04Disbursement of Funds.

(a)Term Loans. No later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Term Lender with a Commitment of the relevant Tranche will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance withSection 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date. All such amounts will be made available in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Notice Office, and the Administrative Agent will make all funds so received by it in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds to the account designated in writing by the Borrower (including in any Notice of Borrowing) from time to time. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Term Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Term Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Term Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Term Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Term Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Term Lender. If such Term Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Term Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Term Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking rules on interbank compensation and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the relevant Borrowing, as determined pursuant toSection 2.08. Nothing in thisSection 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Term Lender from its obligation to make Term Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Term Lender as a result of any failure by such Term Lender to make Term Loans hereunder.

-78-

(b)Revolving Loans.

(i) Except with respect to Loans made pursuant toSection 2.04(b)(iv), each Revolving Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account as directed by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met or waived, return the amounts so received to the respective Revolving Lenders. Each Revolving Lender at its option may make any LIBO Rate Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan;provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) such LIBO Rate Loan shall be deemed to have been made and held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such LIBO Rate Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender and (iii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to minimize increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of such Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it otherwise determines would be disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions ofSection 2.10 shall apply).

(ii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Revolving Lender prior to the date of any Revolving Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with clause (i) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Revolving Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Revolving Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

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

-79-

(iv)Letters of Credit. If an Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made bySection 2.17(e) within the time specified in suchSection 2.17(e), such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the LC Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such LC Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent on such date (or, if such Revolving Lender shall have received such notice later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on any day, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute a Base Rate Loan of such Revolving Lender, and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the LC Exposure), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to such Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant toSection 2.17(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (iv); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Banks, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph (iv) to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Initial Revolving Loans pursuant toSection 2.08(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Base Rate.

2.05Notes.

(a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant toSection 13.04 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced (i) in the case of a Term Loan, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form ofExhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Term Note”) and (ii) in the case of a Revolving Loan, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form ofExhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Revolving Note”).

(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any conflict arises between the records maintained pursuant to this Section and the Register, the Register shall control.

-80-

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in thisSection 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders that at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guarantees therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender that does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in the preceding clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

2.06Interest Rate Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans of a given Tranche made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Loans, into a Borrowing (of the same Tranche) of another Type of Loan;provided that (i) except as otherwise provided inSection 2.11, LIBO Rate Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of LIBO Rate Loans, as the case may be, shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such LIBO Rate Loans, made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (ii) with respect to Term Loans, to the extent the Required Term Lenders have, or the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Term Lenders has, so notified the Borrower in writing, Base Rate Loans may not be converted into LIBO Rate Loans if any Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, (iii) with respect to Revolving Loans, to the extent the Required Revolving Lenders have, or the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Revolving Lenders has, so notified the Borrower in writing, Base Rate Loans may not be converted into LIBO Rate Loans if any Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and (iv) no conversion pursuant to thisSection 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of LIBO Rate Loans than is permitted underSection 2.02. Such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice (in the case of any conversion to or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans) or one (1) Business Day’s notice (in the case of any conversion to Base Rate Loans) (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form ofExhibit A-2 or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to specify the Loans of a given Tranche to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into LIBO Rate Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

2.07Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Loans under this Agreement, subject toSection 2.10(d), shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of such Lenders’ Commitments as the case may be. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

(c) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the LIBO Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective LIBO Rate Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.

-83-

(d) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the “prime rate” shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.09Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any LIBO Rate Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole and absolute discretion) prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such LIBO Rate Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such LIBO Rate Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower be a one, two, three or six month period, or, if agreed to by all applicable Lenders, a twelve month period, or, if agreed to by the applicable Lenders, any period less than one month;provided that (in each case):

(i) all LIBO Rate Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any LIBO Rate Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such LIBO Rate Loan (including, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, the date of any conversion thereto from a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such LIBO Rate Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) if any Interest Period for a LIBO Rate Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

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

(v) with respect to Term Loans, unless the Required Term Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period for a Term Loan that is a LIBO Rate Loan may be selected at any time when an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.01(a) or 11.01(e) is then in existence;

(vi) with respect to Revolving Loans, unless the Required Revolving Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period for a Revolving Loan that is a LIBO Rate Loan may be selected at any time when an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.01(a) or 11.01(e) is then in existence; and

-84-

(vii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date therefor.

With respect to any LIBO Rate Loans, at the end of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing thereof, the Borrower may elect to split the respective Borrowing of a single Type under a single Tranche into two or more Borrowings of different Types under such Tranche or combine two or more Borrowings under a single Tranche into a single Borrowing of the same Type under such Tranche, in each case, by the Borrower giving notice thereof together with its election of one or more Interest Periods applicable thereto, in each case so long as each resulting Borrowing (x) has an Interest Period which complies with the foregoing requirements of thisSection 2.09, (y) has a principal amount which is not less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to Borrowings of the respective Type and Tranche, and (z) does not cause a violation of the requirements ofSection 2.02. If by 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole and absolute discretion) prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBO Rate, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, LIBO Rate Loans with a one month Interest Period with such conversion or continuation to be effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. In the event:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of “LIBO Rate”; or

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Notice of Conversion/Continuation that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of a LIBO Rate Loan shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of a LIBO Rate Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan.

(b) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank;

-85-

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender; or

(iii) subject any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes or (C) Other Taxes) with respect to its loans, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(c) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(d) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund LIBO Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBO Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBO Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

-86-

(e) A certificate of a Lender or the Administrative Agent setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (b) or (c) of this Section, and certifying that it is the general practice and policy of such Lender to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers in similar circumstances at such time to the extent it is legally permitted to do so, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(f) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s, such Issuing Bank’s or the Administrative Agent’s right to demand such compensation;provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s, such Issuing Bank’s or the Administrative Agent’s intention to claim compensation therefor;provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, thenthe 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

2.11Compensation. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the calculation of the amount of such compensation; it being understood that no Lender shall be required to disclose (i) any confidential or price sensitive information, or (ii) any other information, to the extent prohibited by any Requirement of Law), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its LIBO Rate Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits (and without giving effect to the minimum “LIBO Rate”)) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, LIBO Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant toSection 5.01,Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant toSection 11) or conversion of any of its LIBO Rate Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any LIBO Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by the Borrower to repay LIBO Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender.

2.12Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation ofSection 2.10(b),(c) or(d) orSection 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event;provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in thisSection 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided inSections 2.10 and 5.04.

-87-

2.13Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to the operation ofSection 2.10(b),(c) or(d) orSection 5.04 with respect to such Lender or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided inSection 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of whom shall be required to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (to the extent the Administrative Agent’s consent would be required for an assignment to such Replacement Lender pursuant toSection 13.04);provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to thisSection 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumptions pursuant toSection 13.04(b) and with all fees payable pursuant to saidSection 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Replaced Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (I) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender under each Tranche with respect to which such Replaced Lender is being replaced and (II) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant toSection 4.01 and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to thisSection 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of thisSection 2.13 andSection 13.04. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register pursuant toSection 13.04 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation,Sections 2.10,2.11,5.04,12.07 and 13.01), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender with respect to actions or occurrences prior to it ceasing to be a Lender hereunder.

2.14Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the terms of thisSection 2.14, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of any Tranche of Term Loans (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) or thethen-existing Revolving Commitments (the “Existing Revolving Commitments”), together with any related

-88-

outstandings, be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or any portion of such Existing Term Loan Tranche (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) or such Existing Revolving Commitments (any such Revolving Commitments which have been so converted, “Extended Revolving Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with thisSection 2.14. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Term Lenders or each of the Revolving Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable) (each, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Term Lender under the relevant Existing Term Loan Tranche and/or be identical as offered to each Revolving Lender under the relevant Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable (in each case, including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and (y) be identical to the Term Loans under the relevant Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted or the Revolving Loans under the relevant Existing Revolving Commitments from which the Extended Revolving Commitments are to be converted, as applicable, except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) repayments of principal of the Extended Revolving Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the Maturity Date applicable to the Existing Revolving Commitments; (iii) the Effective Yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans or the interest rate and fees on the Extended Revolving Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche or the interest rate and fees of such Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iv) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the applicable Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments); (v) Extended Term Loans may have mandatory prepayment terms which provide for the application of proceeds from mandatory prepayment events to be made first to prepay the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans have been converted before applying any such proceeds to prepay such Extended Term Loans; (vi) Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and terms which allow Term Loans under the relevant Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans have been converted to be optionally prepaid prior to the prepayment of such Extended Term Loans) as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof; and (vii) such Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments may have other terms (other than those described in the preceding clauses (i) through (vi)) that differ from those of the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolving Commitments, in each case, taken as a whole, that are not materially more favorable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments than the provisions applicable to the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable, or as are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, an “Extension

-89-

Series”) of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement;provided that, subject to the requirements set forth above, any Extended Term Loans converted from an Existing Term Loan Tranche or Extended Revolving Commitments converted from Existing Revolving Commitments may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable.

(b) With respect to any Extended Revolving Commitments, subject to the provisions ofSection 2.17(o), to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit which mature or expire after the Maturity Date applicable to the Existing Revolving Commitments, all Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Commitments (and, except as provided inSection 2.17(o), without giving effect to changes thereto on the Maturity Date with respect to Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued) and all borrowings under the Aggregate Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (x) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (y) repayments required upon any Maturity Date of any Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Commitments).

(c) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as to which the Administrative Agent may consent) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolving Commitments are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of thisSection 2.14. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche converted into Extended Term Loans or of any Existing Revolving Commitments converted into Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender (each, an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Loans or Commitments subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or its Existing Revolving Commitments which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). Any Lender that does not respond to the Extension Request on or prior to the date specified therein shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Request. In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to such Extension Request, Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche on apro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche included in such Extension Elections, subject to such rounding requirements as may be established by the Administrative Agent. In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Existing Revolving Commitments subject to Extension Elections relating to a particular Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Revolving Commitments requested pursuant to such Extension Request, Revolving Commitments subject to such Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Revolving Commitments on apro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments included in each such Extension Elections.

-90-

(d) Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Lender providing an Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Commitment thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth inSection 2.14(a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. After giving effect to the Extension, the Loans so extended shall cease to be a part of the Tranche they were a part of immediately prior to the Extension.

(e) (i) Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to thisSection 2.14 shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement and (ii) with respect to Extended Revolving Commitments, if the aggregate amount extended is less than the LC Commitment, the LC Commitment shall be reduced upon the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date applicable to the Existing Revolving Commitments (to the extent needed so that the LC Commitment does not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitment which would be in effect after the Maturity Date of the Existing Revolving Commitments), and, if applicable, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize obligations under any issued Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 103% of the stated amount of such Letters of Credit. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to each Extension and the other transactions contemplated by thisSection 2.14 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest or fees in respect of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the applicable Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation,Sections 5.01,5.02,5.03,13.02 or 13.06) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any Extension or any other transaction contemplated by thisSection 2.14;provided that such consent shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of any Extension Request.

(f) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) reasonably necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth inSection 5.02(a) with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans converted pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant toSection 5.02(a)), (iii) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents consistent with the provisions and intent ofSection 13.12(d), (iv) establish new Tranches in respect of Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary in connection with the establishment of such new Tranches, in each case, on terms consistent with thisSection 2.14 and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of thisSection 2.14, and each Lender hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.

2.15Incremental Commitments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right to request at any time and from time to time that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Lenders, subject to the terms set forth inSection 2.21) provide an increase in Revolving Commitments (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”), one or more additional Tranches of Revolving Commitments (an “Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitment”) or Incremental Term Loan Commitments (such Term Loans incurred in connection therewith, each, an “Incremental Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Loans” and, collectively with any Revolving Commitment Increase and any Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitment, each, an “Incremental Facility” and collectively, the “Incremental Facilities”) to the Borrower and, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the relevant Incremental Amendment, make Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that:

(i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Facility as a result of any such request by the Borrower;

(ii) any Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Facility without the consent of any other Lender;

(iii) each Incremental Facility shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars;

(iv) the amount of any Incremental Facility made available pursuant to a given Incremental Amendment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide such Incremental Facility thereunder (including Eligible Transferees who will become Lenders) of at least $25,000,000;

(v) the aggregate principal amount of any Loan or Commitment, as applicable, pursuant to an Incremental Facility on the date of the incurrence thereof shall not exceed, when taken together with any incurrence of Permitted Pari Passu Loans, Permitted Pari Passu Notes or Permitted Junior Debt pursuant toSection 10.04(xxvii)(A)(1) on such date, (x) the then-remaining Fixed Dollar Incremental Amount as of the date of incurrence plus (y) subject to the satisfaction of the applicable Incurrence-Based Incremental Facility Test, any Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount that may be incurred thereunder on such date;

(vi) the proceeds of all Incremental Facilities incurred by the Borrower may be used for any purpose not prohibited under this Agreement;

(vii) the Borrower shall specifically designate, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, any Tranche of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder (which Tranche shall be a new Tranche (i.e., not the same as any existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Term Loan Commitments or other Term Loans), unless the requirements ofSection 2.15(c) are satisfied), which designation shall be set forth in the applicable Incremental Amendment;

-92-

(viii) if to be incurred as a new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, such Incremental Term Loans shall have the same terms as each other Tranche of Term Loans as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the relevant Incremental Amendment, except as to purpose (which is subject to the requirements of the preceding clause (vi)) and optional prepayment provisions and mandatory prepayment provisions (which are governed bySection 5.02;provided that each new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be entitled to share in mandatory prepayments on a ratable basis with the other Tranches of Term Loans (unless the holders of the Incremental Term Loans of any Tranche agree to take a lesser share of any such prepayments));provided, however, that (I) the maturity and amortization of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ, so long as such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have (a) a Maturity Date of no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date as of the date such Indebtedness was incurred and (b) a Weighted Average Life to Maturity of no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity as then in effect for the Tranche of then outstanding Term Loans with the then longest Weighted Average Life to Maturity (in each case of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), excluding for this purpose (x) interim loan financings that provide for automatic rollover, subject to customary conditions, to Indebtedness otherwise meeting the requirements of this clause (I) and (y) amounts not in excess of the Inside Maturity Date Basket at the time of incurrence), (II) the Effective Yield applicable to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ from that applicable to the then outstanding Tranches of Term Loans, with the Effective Yield applicable thereto to be specified in the respective Incremental Amendment;provided, however, that if the Effective Yield for any such Incremental Term Loans or any Permitted Pari Passu Loans, in each case which constitute MFN Qualifying Term Loans, exceeds the Effective Yield then applicable to any then outstanding Initial Term Loans by more than 0.50% per annum, the Applicable Margins for all then outstanding Initial Term Loans shall be increased as of such date in accordance with the requirements of the definition of “Applicable Margin” (the “MFN Pricing Test”); and (III) such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may be pursuant to documentation to be agreed between the Borrower and the applicable lenders providing the Incremental Term Loans and, solely to the extent administrative matters applicable to Administrative Agent in its capacity as such are set forth therein, that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and may have other terms (other than those described in preceding clauses (I) and (II)) that may differ from those of other Tranches of Term Loans, including, without limitation, as to the application of optional or voluntary prepayments among the Incremental Term Loans and the existing Term Loans, in each case, taken as a whole, that are not materially more favorable to the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans than the provisions applicable to the existing Term Loans or as are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (provided that to the extent such documentation and terms are not consistent with the terms of, and documentation governing, the Initial Term Loans, such terms (if favorable to the existing Lenders) shall be automatically incorporated into the Credit Documents for the benefit of all existing Lenders without further amendment requirements, including, for the avoidance of doubt, at the option of the Borrower, any increase in the Applicable Margin or amount of amortization relating to the existing Term Loans to bring such Applicable Margin or amount of amortization in line with the Incremental Term Loans to achieve fungibility with such existing Term Loans);

-93-

(ix) the terms and provisions of any Revolving Commitment Increase shall be identical to the Initial Revolving Loans and the Closing Date Revolving Commitments, and, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, all Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitment Increase shall be deemed to be Initial Revolving Loans, including, without limitation, the following: (A) the rate of interest applicable to the Revolving Commitment Increase shall be the same as the rate of interest applicable to the Initial Revolving Loans, (B) unused line fees applicable to the Revolving Commitment Increase shall be calculated using the same Applicable Commitment Fee Rate applicable to the Initial Revolving Loans, (C) the Revolving Commitment Increase shall share ratably in any mandatory prepayments of the Initial Revolving Loans, (D) after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increases, Revolving Commitments shall be reduced based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage, and (E) the Revolving Commitment Increase shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the Initial Revolving Loans;

(x) the maturity, interest rate and fees of any Tranche of Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments may differ, so long as such Tranche of Revolving Loans made under the Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments shall have a maturity date of no earlier than the then latest maturing Tranche of outstanding Revolving Loans;

(xi) any Tranche of Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments shall not require any scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Latest Maturity Date of the Initial Revolving Loans and Closing Date Revolving Commitments and shall be on substantially the same terms as those applicable to the Initial Revolving Loans and Closing Date Revolving Commitments (other than as set forth herein or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent);

(xii) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) incurred by the Borrower shall be Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall, to the extent secured, be secured by the Security Agreements, and guaranteed under each relevant Guaranty, on a pari passu basis or junior basis with all other Term Loans secured by the Security Agreement and guaranteed under each such Guaranty and shall be secured by only the Collateral securing the Obligations hereunder;

(xiii) each Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Amendment shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Revolving Commitment Increases, Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments and/or Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Amendment as provided inSection 2.01(c) and such Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Revolving Loans or Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents; and

(xiv) all Incremental Commitment Requirements are satisfied.

-94-

(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to thisSection 2.15, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Commitment (each, an “Incremental Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Amendment (which shall not require the consent of any other Lender), with the effectiveness of the Incremental Commitment provided therein to occur on the date on which (w) a fully executed copy of such Incremental Amendment shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, (x) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid (including, without limitation, any agreed upon upfront or arrangement fees owing to the Administrative Agent to the extent it served as the arranger for the Incremental Commitments), (y) all Incremental Commitment Requirements are satisfied, and (z) all other conditions set forth in thisSection 2.15 shall have been satisfied. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Amendment, and at such time, (i) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Incremental Commitments of the affected Lenders and (ii) to the extent requested by any Incremental Lender, Term Notes or Revolving Notes, as applicable, will be issued at the Borrower’s expense to such Incremental Lender, to be in conformity with the requirements ofSection 2.05 (with appropriate modification) to the extent needed to reflect the new Incremental Loans and Incremental Commitments made by such Incremental Lender.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in thisSection 2.15, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided by an Incremental Lender or Incremental Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Amendment shall constitute a new Tranche, which shall be separate and distinct from the existing Tranches pursuant to this Agreement;provided that the parties to a given Incremental Amendment may specify therein that the Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto shall constitute part of, and be added to, an existing Tranche of Term Loans, in any case so long as the following requirements are satisfied:

(i) the Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Amendment shall have the same Borrower, the same maturity date and the same Applicable Margins as the Tranche of Term Loans to which the new Incremental Term Loans are being added;

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

(iii) on the date of the making of such new Incremental Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth inSection 2.09, such new Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Tranche on apro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Lender holding Term Loans under the respective Tranche of Term Loans participates in each outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of the respective Tranche (after giving effect to the incurrence of such new Incremental Term Loans pursuant toSection 2.01(c)) on apro rata basis.

-95-

To the extent the provisions of the preceding clause (iii) require that Incremental Lenders making new Incremental Term Loans add such Incremental Term Loans to the then outstanding Borrowings of LIBO Rate Loans of such Tranche, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new Incremental Term Loans having irregular Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding LIBO Rate Loans of such Tranche and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period), which irregular interest periods shall be permitted notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement. All determinations by any the Administrative Agent of the LIBO Rate in such circumstances pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.16Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBO Rate Loan:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate or because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders through Approved Electronic Platform as provided inSection 13.03 as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Notice of Conversion/Continuation that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBO Rate Loan shall be ineffective and any such Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans shall be repaid or converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (B) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing that is a LIBO Rate Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Loan.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, fund or continue any LIBO Rate Loans, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make, maintain, fund or continue LIBO Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBO Rate Loans will be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the

-96-

circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower will upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert to Base Rate Loans or prepay all LIBO Rate Loans of such Lender, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such conversion or prepayment, the Borrower will also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted or prepaid.

(c) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for leveraged syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary inSection 13.12, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date that a copy of the amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. To the extent an alternate rate of interest is adopted as contemplated hereby, the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with prevailing market convention;provided that, to the extent such prevailing market convention is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (c) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of thisSection 2.16(c), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Notice of Conversion/Continuation that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBO Rate Loan shall be ineffective and (y) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing that is a LIBO Rate Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Loan;provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative, replacement, comparable or successor rate thereto, including, without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, replacement, comparable or successor reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.16(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

2.17Letters of Credit.

(a)General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit in U.S. Dollars for the Borrower’s account or the account of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period (provided that the Borrower shall be aco-applicant with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b)Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) a LC Request to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or such later date and time as is reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank). A request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank: (i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the amount thereof; (iii) the expiry date thereof; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder and (vii) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably require. A request for an amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank (w) the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended; (x) the proposed date of amendment, renewal or extension thereof (which shall be a Business Day), (y) the nature of the proposed amendment, renewal or extension, and (z) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably require. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application substantially on the applicable Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant (solely in the case of (w) and (x) that)), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $25,000,000, (B) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments, (C) the aggregate LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall not exceed the LC Sublimit of such Issuing Bank, (D) the Revolving Exposure of such Issuing Bank does not exceed its Revolving Commitments and (E) if a Defaulting Lender exists, either such Revolving Lender or the Borrower has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks to eliminate any Fronting Exposure associated with such Lender.

-98-

(c)Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire not later than the earlier of (a) 12 months after its date of issuance and (b) except to the extent Cash Collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank, the fifth Business Day prior to the latest Maturity Date applicable to Revolving Loans,provided that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, a Letter of Credit may provide that it shall automatically renew for additional periods but in any event not beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date unless Cash Collateralized or backstopped in accordance with the foregoing clause (b).

(d)Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the applicable Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of thisSection 2.17, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each 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 Aggregate Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e)Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to such Issuing Bank an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the Business Day after receiving notice from such Issuing Bank of such LC Disbursement;provided that, whether or not the Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested (except to the extent the Borrower makes payment to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due) a Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Percentage of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement in the same manner as provided inSection 2.04(b)(iv) with respect to Loans made by such Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, distribute such payment to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Base Rate Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

-99-

(f)Obligations Absolute.

(i) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of thisSection 2.17 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 (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (B) 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, (C) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (D) the existence of any claim,set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or (E) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of thisSection 2.17, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right ofset-off against, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder;provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation to reimburse an Issuing Bank to the extent that such payment was made in error due to the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction). Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Affiliates, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit 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 applicable 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 consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith on the part of an Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction), the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

-100-

(ii) No Issuing Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any LC Document. No Issuing Bank makes to the Revolving Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, such documents or any Credit Party. No Issuing Bank shall be responsible to any Revolving Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Document; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Credit Party.

(iii) No Issuing Bank or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and investment advisors shall be liable to any Lender or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any LC Documents except as a result of its actual gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment. No Issuing Bank shall have any liability to any Lender if such Issuing Bank refrains from any action under any Letter of Credit or such LC Documents until it receives written instructions from the Required Lenders.

(g)Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has 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 and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such reimbursement obligation set forth inSection 2.17(e)).

(h)Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank 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 Base Rate Loans;provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of thisSection 2.17, thenSection 2.08(a)(iii) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of thisSection 2.17 to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i)Resignation or Removal of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by agreement between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent;provided that so long as no Event of Default underSection 11.01(a) orSection 11.01(e) exists, such successor Issuing Bank shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. One or more Revolving Lenders may be appointed as additional Issuing Banks in accordance with paragraph (k) below. The Administrative Agent shall

-101-

notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank or any such additional Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant toSection 4.01(c). From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement or addition, as applicable, (i) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or such additional Issuing Bank or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or such additional Issuing Bank and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. If at any time there is more than one Issuing Bank hereunder, the Borrower may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Bank is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.

(j)Cash Collateralization.

(i) If any Event of Default underSection 11.01(a) orSection 11.01(e) shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent (acting at the request of the Required Lenders) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in the LC Collateral Account, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, but shall be immediately released and returned to the Borrower (in no event later than two (2) Business Days) once all such Events of Default are cured or waived. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made only in Cash Equivalents and at the direction of the Borrower and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations of the Borrower.

(ii) The Borrower shall, on demand by an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure associated with any Defaulting Lender.

-102-

(k)Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and such Revolving Lender, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders to act as an Issuing Bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Revolving Lender designated as an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall be deemed (in addition to being a Revolving Lender) to be an Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and all references herein and in the other Credit Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Lender in its capacity as Issuing Bank, as the context shall require.

(l) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Issuing Bank, such later date on which such Issuing Bank becomes an issuing bank hereunder), or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Issuing Bank, such later date on which such Issuing Bank becomes an Issuing Bank hereunder) and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank.

(m) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (i) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(n)LC Collateral Account.

(i) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to establish and maintain at the Notice Office, in the name of the Administrative Agent and pursuant to a control agreement, a restricted deposit account designated “The Borrower LC Collateral Account.” Each Credit Party shall deposit into the LC Collateral Account from time to time the Cash Collateral required to be deposited underSection 2.17(j) hereof.

(ii) The balance from time to time in such LC Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall not constitute payment of the Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, all amounts held in the LC Collateral Account shall constitute collateral security first for the liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time and second for the other Obligations hereunder until such time as all Letters of Credit shall have been terminated and all of the liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit have been paid in full. All funds in “The Borrower LC Collateral Account” may be invested in accordance with the provisions ofSection 2.17(j).

-103-

(o)Extended Commitments. If the Maturity Date with respect to Initial Revolving Loans shall have occurred at a time when Extended Revolving Commitments or Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments that have a later Maturity Date than the Initial Revolving Loans are in effect, then (i) such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make payments in respect thereof pursuant toSections 2.17(d) and(e)) under (and ratably participated in by Revolving Lenders) the Extended Revolving Commitments and Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments (allocated between the Extended Revolving Commitments and the Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments at the Borrower’s direction), up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Extended Revolving Commitments and Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance withSection 2.17(j). Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to the prior sentence, the occurrence of the Maturity Date with respect to Existing Revolving Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Lenders of Extended Revolving Commitments or Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments in any Letter of Credit issued before the Maturity Date applicable to such Existing Revolving Commitments.

2.18Refinancing Facilities.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more additional Tranches of Term Loans under this Agreement (“Refinancing Term Loans”), which refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund all or any portion of one or more Tranches of Term Loans under this Agreement selected by the Borrower;provided, that such Refinancing Term Loans may not be in an amount greater than the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans being refinanced, renewed, replaced, defeased or refunded plus unpaid accrued interest and premium (if any) thereon and upfront fees, original issue discount, underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses incurred in connection with the Refinancing Term Loans;provided that such aggregate principal amount may also be increased to the extent such additional amount is capable of being incurred at such time pursuant toSection 2.15 and such excess incurrence shall for all purposes hereof be an incurrence under the relevant subclauses ofSection 2.15. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not less than three (3) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent;provided that:

(i) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans being refinanced and the Refinancing Term Loans shall not have a final stated maturity (excluding for this purpose (x) interim loan financings that provide for automatic rollover, subject to customary conditions, to Indebtedness otherwise meeting the maturity requirements of this clause (i) and (y) amounts not in excess of the Inside Maturity Date Basket) before the Maturity Date applicable to the Term Loans being refinanced;

-104-

(ii) such Refinancing Term Loans shall have pricing (including interest rates, discounts, fees and premiums), amortization, optional prepayment, mandatory prepayment (so long as such Refinancing Term Loans are not entitled to participate on a greater thanpro rata basis in any mandatory prepayment than the then outstanding Term Loans) and redemption terms as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the relevant Refinancing Term Loan Lenders (as defined below);

(iii) such Refinancing Term Loans shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than Holdings, the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor;

(b) The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other Person that would be an Eligible Transferee of Term Loans to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Loan Lender”);provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Term Loan. Any Refinancing Term Loans made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated a series (a “Refinancing Term Loan Series”) of Refinancing Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement;provided that any Refinancing Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Term Loan Amendment and subject to the restrictions set forth in clause (a) above, be designated as an increase in any previously established Tranche of Term Loans.

The Refinancing Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Loan Amendment”) (which shall not require the consent of any other Lender) which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth inSection 2.18(a).

The Administrative Agent shall be permitted, and each is hereby authorized, to enter into such amendments with the Borrower to effect the foregoing.

(d) On one or more occasions after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Eligible Transferee that becomes a Lender (a “Refinancing Revolving Lender”), Indebtedness which refinances all or any portion of the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) then outstanding under this Agreement in the form of Refinancing Revolving Commitments or Refinancing Revolving Loans pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among Holdings, the Borrower and the Refinancing Revolving Lenders (a “Refinancing Revolving Amendment”);provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in thisSection 2.18 or otherwise:

(v) all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Revolving Loans (except as set forth above), taken as a whole, shall not be materially more favorable to the Refinancing Revolving Lenders, than the related provisions applicable to the existing Revolving Loans or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, except to the extent such covenants and other terms (x) apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date as of the date such Indebtedness was incurred, (y) are incorporated into this Agreement (or any other applicable Credit Document) for the benefit of all existing Lenders (to the extent applicable to such Lender) without further amendment requirements or (z) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as determined by the Borrower in good faith),

(vi) subject to the provisions ofSection 2.17 to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a Maturity Date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments or Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments with a longer Maturity Date, all Letters of Credit shall be participated on apro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Commitments, and

(vii) assignments and participations of Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans.

The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions ofSection 12 andSection 13.01 mutatis mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent and the Auction Manager shall cooperate in a reasonable manner in connection therewith.

(b)Terms of Ancillary Facilities.

-111-

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in any other Credit Document or in any Ancillary Document, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other term of (or default or event of default under) any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to constitute, or result in, a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other term of, or Default or Event of Default under, this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless such breach, default or event of default is also a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in, or other term of, this Agreement, or a Default or Event of Default underSection 11.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, each Lender shall ensure that at all times its Revolving Commitment is not less than the aggregate of its Ancillary Commitment (and the Ancillary Commitment of its Affiliates).

(e)Adjustment for Ancillary Facilities upon Acceleration.

(i) Prior to the application of the provisions of clause (ii) below, an Ancillary Lender that has provided a Multi-account Overdraft shallset-off any Available Credit Balance on any account comprised in that Multi-account Overdraft.

(ii) If the Administrative Agent takes any action underSection 11.02 or any Event of Default described inSection 11.01(a) or11.01(e) occurs, each Revolving Lender (including each Ancillary Lender) shall promptly adjust (by making or receiving (as the case may be) corresponding transfers of rights and obligations under the Credit Documents relating to their Revolving Exposure and Ancillary Outstandings, in each case, in respect of any applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments) their claims in respect of amounts outstanding to them under any applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments and each Ancillary Facility in respect of such Tranche of Revolving Commitments to the extent necessary to ensure that after such transfers, the claims relating to the Revolving Exposure and Ancillary Outstandings of each Revolving Lender in each case, in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Commitments bear the same proportion to the claims relating to the Revolving Exposure and Ancillary Outstandings of all Revolving Lenders under that Tranche of Revolving Commitments as such Revolving Lender’spro rata share of the total Revolving Commitments for all Lenders under such Tranche, each as at the date on which the Administrative Agent takes any action underSection 11.02 or any Event of Default described inSection 11.01(a) or11.01(e) occurs or upon any automatic acceleration as provided for in the last paragraph ofSection 11.01(a).

(iii) If an amount outstanding under an Ancillary Facility is a contingent liability and that contingent liability becomes an actual liability or is reduced to zero after the original adjustment is made under paragraph (ii) above, then each Revolving Lender (including each Ancillary Lender) will make a further adjustment (by making or receiving (as the case may be) corresponding transfers of rights and obligations under the Credit Documents relating to their Revolving Exposure and Ancillary Outstandings under any applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments to the extent necessary) to put themselves in the position they would have been in had the original adjustment been determined by reference to the actual liability or, as the case may be, zero liability and not the contingent liability.

-114-

(iv) Any transfer of rights and obligations relating to Revolving Exposure and Ancillary Outstandings made pursuant to thisSection 2.21(e) shall be made for a purchase price in cash, payable at the time of transfer, in an amount equal to such Revolving Exposure and Ancillary Outstandings.

(v) All calculations to be made pursuant to thisSection 2.21(e) shall be made by the Administrative Agent based upon information provided to it by the Revolving Lenders (including Ancillary Lenders).

(vi) ThisSection 2.21 shall not obligate any Lender to accept the transfer of a claim relating to an amount outstanding under an Ancillary Facility (i) that is not denominated (pursuant to the relevant Credit Document) in U.S. Dollars or another currency which is acceptable to that Lender and (ii) that would result in that Lender holding an amount of Revolving Exposure and Ancillary Outstandings which is greater in aggregate than the amount of its Revolving Exposure.

(f)Information. Each Ancillary Borrower and each Ancillary Lender shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent with any information relating to the operation of such Ancillary Facility (including the amount of Ancillary Outstandings) as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request (which information shall be subject to compliance withSection 13.15).

(g)Affiliates of Lenders as Ancillary Lenders.

(i) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, an Affiliate of any Revolving Lender may become an Ancillary Lender, in which case, to the extent the Ancillary Facility established by such Affiliate was in respect of the same Tranche of Revolving Commitments as the Revolving Commitments of such Revolving Lender, such Revolving Lender and such Affiliate shall be treated as a single Revolving Lender under the same Tranche of Revolving Commitments whose Revolving Commitment under such Tranche is as set forth inSchedule 2.01 or in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Revolving Lender assumed its Revolving Commitment or is assumed pursuant toSection 2.13 to the extent such Revolving Commitment has not be terminated, reduced or transferred by it under this Agreement; it being understood that the relevant Revolving Lender’s unused Revolving Commitment will be reduced to the extent of the Ancillary Commitment established by such Affiliate.

(ii) To the extent that this Agreement or any other Credit Document imposes any obligation on any Ancillary Lender and such Ancillary Lender is an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender and not a party thereto, the relevant Revolving Lender shall ensure that such obligation is performed by such Affiliate in compliance with the terms hereof or such other Credit Document.

-115-

(h) Any credit balances taken into account by an Ancillary Lender when operating a net limit in respect of any overdraft under an Ancillary Facility shall on enforcement of the Credit Documents be applied first in reduction of the overdraft provided under that Ancillary Facility in accordance with its terms.

2.22Defaulting Lenders.

(a)Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining the Revolving Lenders’ obligations to fund or acquire participations in Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent may exclude the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of any Defaulting Lender(s) from the calculation of Pro Rata Shares;provided that such calculation shall not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of anyNon-Defaulting Lender to exceed suchNon-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Credit Document, except as provided inSection 13.12.

(b)Payments; Fees. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Credit Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Administrative Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent,Non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Creditors have been paid in full. The Administrative Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s Fronting Exposure, or readvance the amounts to the Borrower hereunder. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its Revolving Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee underSection 4.01(a). To the extent any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender are reallocated to other Revolving Lenders, LC Participation Fees attributable to such LC Obligations underSection 4.01(c) shall be paid to such other Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be paid all LC Participation Fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not so reallocated.

(c)Cure. The Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank may agree in writing that a Revolving Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At such time, Pro Rata Shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans, and all outstanding Revolving Loans, LC Obligations and other exposures under the Revolving Commitments shall be reallocated among Revolving Lenders and settled by the Administrative Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata Shares. Unless expressly agreed by the Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Revolving Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligations, and no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for default by another Revolving Lender.

-124-

City time) on the Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such repayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver such Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory repayment of Term Loans to which such Lender is otherwise entitled. The aggregate amount of Declined Proceeds retained by the Borrower is referred to herein as “Retained Declined Proceeds”.

(l)Revolving Loan Prepayments.

Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay LIBO Rate Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Revolving Loans required under thisSection 5.02(m) shall be in excess of the amount of the Base Rate Loans at the time outstanding, only the portion of the amount of such prepayment that is equal to the amount of such outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of the Borrower, the balance of such required prepayment shall be either (A) deposited in the LC Collateral Account and applied to the prepayment of LIBO Rate Loans on the last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period for LIBO Rate Loans (with all interest accruing thereon for the account of the Borrower) or (B) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders underSection 13.06.

5.03Method and Place of Payment. All payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made (i) to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto, or, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, directly to such Lender or Lenders, in each case not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due (or, in connection with any prepayment of all outstanding Loans, such later time on the specified prepayment date as the Administrative Agent may agree), (ii) in U.S. Dollars (or, in the case of the Ancillary Facility denominated in another currency, such other currency) in immediately available funds and (iii) free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by the Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant toSection 5.04(b) or thisSection 5.04(c).

11.02Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for above (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the LC Exposure has automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth above), any amounts received on account of the Obligations (including without limitation, proceeds received by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral (including, without limitation, pursuant to the exercise by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent of its remedies during the continuance of an Event of Default) or otherwise received on account of the Obligations) shall, subject to the provisions ofSections 2.17(j) and 2.22 and any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, be applied in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including amounts payable underSections 2.10 and 2.11) payable to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (other than principal and interest, but including amounts payable underSections 2.10 and 2.11), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

-190-

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations consisting of accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, Ancillary Facilities and LC Exposure, and any fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments due under any Designated Hedging Agreement or Designated Treasury Services Agreement, ratably among the Secured Creditors in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and LC Exposure (including to Cash Collateralize that portion of LC Exposure comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit), and any breakage, termination or other payments under Ancillary Facilities, Designated Hedging Agreement or Designated Treasury Services Agreement, ratably among the Secured Creditors in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

Fifth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Credit Parties that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the other Secured Creditors on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the other Secured Creditors on such date; and

Sixth, the balance, if any, after payment in full of the Obligations and as required by the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or, in the absence of any such requirement, to the Person lawfully entitled thereto (including the applicable Credit Party or its successors or assigns).

Amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Sixth 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. Amounts distributed with respect to any Designated Hedging Agreements and Designated Treasury Services Agreements shall be the lesser of the maximum Obligations arising under Designated Hedging Agreements and Designated Treasury Services Agreements last reported to the Administrative Agent or the actual Obligations owed under Designated Hedging Agreements and Designated Treasury Services Agreements as calculated by the methodology reported to the Administrative Agent for determining the amount due. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Obligations under any Designated Hedging Agreements and Designated Treasury Services Agreements, and may request a reasonably detailed calculation of such amount from the applicable Secured Creditor. If a Secured Creditor fails to deliver such calculation within five days following request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is zero.

In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses First through Sixth of thisSection 11.02, the Credit Parties shall remain liable for any deficiency. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, thisSection 11.02 is subject to the provisions of any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and any First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

12.09Resignation of the Agents. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrower’s consent (other than during the existence of an Event of Default underSection 11.01(a) or 11.01(e)), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (and consented to by the Borrower, to the extent so required) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring

Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or as Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the retiring Administrative Agent or retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations not then due and payable and (y) contingent obligations under Designated Hedging Agreements and Designated Treasury Services Agreements not then due and payable) has not been paid in full and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (unless Cash Collateralized, backstopped or other arrangements have been made, in each case, on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank or Ancillary Lender, respectively), (ii) that is sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Credit Document to a Person that is not a Credit Party, (iii) that constitutes Excluded Collateral, (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, subject toSection 13.12, upon release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement pursuant to clause (b) below or (v) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance withSection 13.12;

-197-

(b) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder;provided that any Subsidiary Guarantor that ceases to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary solely by virtue of no longer being a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (a “Partially Disposed Subsidiary”) shall only be released from its Guaranty to the extent that (x) the other person taking an equity interest in such Partially Disposed Subsidiary is not an Affiliate of Holdings and (y) at the time of such release, Holdings would have been permitted to make an Investment in such Partially Disposed Subsidiary, and is deemed to have made a new Investment in such Partially Disposed Subsidiary for purposes ofSection 10.05 (as if such Person were then newly acquired) in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value (as determined by Holdings in good faith) of the net assets of such Partially Disposed Subsidiary attributable to the Holdings’ equity interests therein; and

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is expressly permitted bySection 10.01 to be senior to the Lien securing the Obligations or to release, and to execute and/or deliver documents to evidence the release ornon-existence of, any Lien securing the Obligations upon any Excluded Collateral.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to thisSection 12.11. In each case as specified in thisSection 12.11, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents and thisSection 12.11.

The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit 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.

12.11Designated Hedging Agreements and Designated Treasury Services Agreements. No Guaranteed Creditor that is a counterparty to a Designated Hedging Agreement or Designated Treasury Services Agreement, in its capacity as such, that obtains the benefits of any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder

-198-

or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of thisSection 12.12 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Designated Hedging Agreements and Designated Treasury Services Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Guaranteed Creditor. Each Guaranteed Creditor that is a counterparty to a Designated Hedging Agreement or Designated Treasury Services Agreement, in its capacity as such, agrees to be bound by thisSection 12 to the same extent as a Lender hereunder.

12.12Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall, within 10 days after written demand therefor, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Credit Parties pursuant toSection 5.04 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any otherout-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was 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 this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under thisSection 12.12. The agreements in thisSection 12.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of thisSection 12.12 the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank.

12.13Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with thisSection 13.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) below.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as anon-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and interest amounts) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

-207-

(v) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) above and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register;provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (v).

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Eligible Transferees (a “Participant”), in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender or each adversely affected Lender and that directly affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits ofSections 2.10 and 5.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it being understood that the documentation required underSections 5.04(b) and(c) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of thisSection 13.04;provided that such Participant (A) shall be subject to the provisions ofSection 2.12 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment underSection 2.10 or 5.04, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the

-208-

provisions ofSection 2.13 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits ofSection 9.08 as though it were a Lender;provided that such Participant shall be subject toSection 2.12 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”);provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loan or Letter of Credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form underSection 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations andSection 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall also be entitled to purchase (from Lenders) outstanding principal of Term Loans in accordance with the provisions ofSections 2.19 and 2.20, which purchases shall be evidenced by assignments (in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) from the applicable Lender to the Borrower. Each assignor and assignee party to the relevant repurchases underSections 2.19and 2.20 shall render customary “big boy” disclaimer letters or any such disclaimers shall be incorporated into the terms of the Assignment and Assumption. No such transfer or assignment shall be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent agrees to promptly record) on the Register pursuant to clause (b) above. All Term Loans purchased pursuant toSections 2.19 and 2.20 shall be immediately and automatically cancelled and retired, and the Borrower shall in no event become a Lender hereunder. To the extent of any assignment to the Borrower as described in this clause (d), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to the assigned Term Loans.

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

(f) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of thisSection 13.04 applicable to it as a Lender hereunder.

(g) [Intentionally omitted].

-209-

(h) If the Borrower wishes to replace the Term Loans or Commitments with Term Loans or Commitments having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three (3) Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders of such Term Loans or holding such Commitments, instead of prepaying the Term Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (a) require such Lenders to assign such Term Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance withSection 13.12 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant toSection 13.12). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Term Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the applicable Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Term Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrower), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant toSection 2.08. By receiving such purchase price, the applicable Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned such Term Loans or Commitments pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Assumption, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

(i) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to provide to any requesting Lender, the list of Disqualified Lenders provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and any updates thereto. The Borrower hereby agrees that any such requesting Lender may share the list of Disqualified Lenders with any potential assignee, transferee or participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Credit Party and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Lenders (other than with respect to assignments or participations by it of its Loans and Commitments, if any). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) the Administrative Agent shall have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender (other than with respect to assignments or participations by it of its Loans and Commitments, if any).

(j)Disqualified Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any assignment to a Disqualified Lender shall not be void, but shall be subject to the following provisions:

(i) If any assignment is made to any Disqualified Lender without the Borrower’s prior written consent, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Lender after the Closing Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, cancel any unfunded Commitment the subject thereof and (A) in the case of outstanding Loans held by Disqualified Lenders, prepay such Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal

No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative

-211-

and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.

13.06Payments Pro Rata.

(a) The Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of any Obligations of such Credit Party, it shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount;provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the precedingSections 13.06(a) and(b) shall be subject to (x) the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made toNon-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, (y) the express provisions of this Agreement which permit disproportionate payments with respect to various of the Tranches as, and to the extent, provided herein, and (z) any other provisions which permit disproportionate payments with respect to the Loans as, and to the extent, provided therein.

13.07Calculations; Computations and Tests.

(a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto);provided that to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis;provided further, that if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower wishes to amend any leverage calculation or any financial definition used therein to implement the effect of any change in U.S. GAAP or the application thereof occurring after the Closing Date on the operation thereof (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders wish to amend any

-212-

leverage test or any financial definition used therein for such purpose), then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to amend such leverage test or the definitions used therein (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders) to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such changes in U.S. GAAP;provided, further, that any change affecting the computation of the ratio set forth inSection 10.11 shall be subject solely to the approval of the Required Revolving Lenders (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);provided, further that all determinations made pursuant to any applicable leverage test or any financial definition used therein shall be determined on the basis of U.S. GAAP as applied and in effect immediately before the relevant change in U.S. GAAP or the application thereof became effective, until such leverage test or such financial definition is amended. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, (i) all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141R or ASC 805 (or any other financial accounting standard having a similar result or effect) and (ii) the accounting for any lease shall be based on the Borrower’s treatment thereof in accordance with U.S. GAAP as in effect on December 15, 2018, and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in U.S. GAAP (or the required implementation of any previously promulgated changes in U.S. GAAP) relating to the treatment of a lease as an operating lease or capitalized lease.

(b) The calculation of any financial ratios under this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-down if there is no nearest number).

13.22Acknowledgement and Consent toBail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or Issuing Bank that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of anyBail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

13.23Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Designated Swap Agreement 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 Credit 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):

-221-

(a) 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 Credit 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 Credit 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.

(b) as used in this Section 13.23, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party shall mean an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” shall mean any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted inaccordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” shall have the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC”shall have the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
