Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax (or, if agreed by the Administrative Agent, by other electronic transmission) to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Tranche B Term Loan Borrowing or an Incremental Term Loan Borrowing, and whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing (provided that, until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower that the primary syndication of the Commitments has been completed (which notice shall be given as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within 30 days after the Closing Date), the Borrower shall not be permitted to request a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one month); (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate

Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of three months’ duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 4.01 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing. Each applicable Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such Borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower specified in the applicable Borrowing Request with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the applicable Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

Section 4.02. Optional Prepayments.(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) below (if applicable), upon irrevocable notice (the “Optional Prepayment Notice”) (except that any Optional Prepayment Notice may be revoked prior to the prepayment date specified therein if it was expressly contingent on the consummation of another transaction, and such transaction was not consummated prior to such date, in which case the provision of Section 4.12 shall apply with respect to such revocation) delivered to and received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and same day in the case of Base Rate Loans, so long as such notice is received prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans;provided that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.12. Upon receipt of any Optional Prepayment Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Optional Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such Optional Prepayment Notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein (unless such Optional Prepayment Notice is revoked as contemplated above), together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid (the “Prepayment Amount”). Partial prepayments of Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof.

(b) In the event that, on or prior to the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower (x) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Tranche B Term Loans pursuant to a Repricing Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness that constitutes a Repricing Transaction) or (y) effects any amendment of this

Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Tranche B Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment which are the subject of such Repricing Transaction. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

(c) Prepayments of Term Loans under this Section 4.02 shall be applied as directed by the Borrower in the Optional Prepayment Notice (and, absent such direction, in direct order of maturity to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the applicable class of Term Loans under Section 2.02).

Section 4.03. Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.(a) If, after the Closing Date, any Indebtedness shall be incurred by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Indebtedness), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such incurrence shall be applied on the date of such incurrence toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.09(b).

(b) If on any date the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale which occurs after the Closing Date or from any Recovery Event which occurs after the Closing Date, then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within fifteen Business Days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.09(b);provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.09(b);provided furtherthat the portion of the Net Cash Proceeds allocable to ABL Priority Collateral shall first be applied in accordance with the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement for so long as the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement is in effect;provided further that if at the time that any such prepayment would be required under this Section 4.03(b), the Borrower is required to offer to repurchase or prepay any other Indebtedness permitted hereunder to be secured, and actually secured, on apari passu basis with the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with such Net Cash Proceeds (such Indebtedness required to be offered to be so repurchased or prepaid, the “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrower may apply such Net Cash Proceeds on apro rata basis to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the repurchase or prepayment of the Other Applicable Indebtedness (determined on the basis of the

aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness (or accreted amount if such Other Applicable Indebtedness is issued with original issue discount) at such time;provided that the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof), and the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 4.03(b) shall be reduced accordingly;provided, further, that to the extent the holders of the Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness prepaid or repurchased, the declined amount may be retained by the Borrower.

(c) The Borrower shall, commencing with the fiscal year ended January 2, 2016, on each Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply toward the prepayment of the Loans, as set forth in Section 4.09(b), an amount (which amount shall not be less than zero) equal to (v) the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal yearminus (w) the aggregate amount of all prepayments of loans under the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (other than prepayments funded with proceeds of Indebtedness or the issuance of Capital Stock) during such fiscal year to the extent accompanying permanent optional reductions of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility Agreementminus (x) the aggregate amount of all optional prepayments of Term Loans (other than prepayments funded with proceeds of Indebtedness or the issuance of Capital Stock) during such fiscal yearminus (y) without duplication, the aggregate amount of cash used by Holdings (to the extent financed with cash proceeds received from the Borrower), the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to acquire Term Loans in accordance with Section 11.06(g) during such fiscal year (other than to the extent funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness or the issuance of Capital Stock). Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than ten (10) Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 7.01(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the date such financial statements are actually delivered.

(d) The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.03 shall be made,first, to Base Rate Loans and,second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under Section 4.03 shall be subject to Section 4.12 and shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

(e) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant to (i) Section 4.03(a) at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment and (ii) Section 4.03(b) or (c) at least five Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share or other applicable share of the prepayment. Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share or other applicable share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 4.03(b) or (c) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, two (2) Business Days after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment of Term Loans rejected by such Lender. If a Term Lender fails to deliver a 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 (unless the Borrower otherwise agrees (in its sole discretion)) will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the Borrower.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.03, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by or Recovery Event of a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 4.03(b) (a “Foreign Disposition”) or Excess Cash Flow generated by a Foreign Subsidiary are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 4.03 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.03 to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or Excess Cash Flow generated by a Foreign Subsidiary would have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the

Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary;provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to this Section 4.03 (or such Excess Cash Flow would have been so required if it were Net Cash Proceeds), (x) the Borrower applies an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by the Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary,less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary) or (y) such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow are applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary.

Section 4.04. Conversion and Continuation Options.(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed conversion,provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed conversion (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor),provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the date of the expiration of the then current Interest Rate, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.01, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans,provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, andprovided further that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this

paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower that the primary syndication of the Commitments has been completed (which notice shall be given as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within 30 days after the Closing Date), no Base Rate Borrowing may be converted into a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one month.

Section 4.05. Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

Section 4.06. Interest Rates and Payment Dates.(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such dayplus the Applicable Margin for such day.

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

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and after all applicable grace periods have elapsed), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.06plus 2% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and after all applicable grace periods have elapsed), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facilityplus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans that are Tranche B Term Loansplus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such nonpayment until but excluding the date such overdue amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

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

Section 4.07. Computation of Interest and Fees.(a) Interest payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual days elapsed. Fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Statutory Reserves shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.06(a).

Section 4.08. Inability to Determine Interest Rate.If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

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

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

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base

Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

Section 4.09. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee shall be madepro rata in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans).

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment under Section 4.03, but excluding any prepayment under Section 4.02) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be madepro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders (except to the extent that any applicable Extension Amendment, Refinancing Amendment or any Incremental Amendment for any Class of Extended Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, respectively, provides that such Extended Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans shall be entitled to less than pro rata treatment;providedthat any prepayment of Term Loans required as a result of the incurrence of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied solely to the applicable Class or tranche of Refinanced Debt). Each prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans under Section 4.03 shall be applied as directed by the Borrower (and, absent such direction, in direct order of maturity to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Tranche B Term Loans under Section 2.02). Each prepayment of any other Class of Term Loans shall be applied as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders in respect of such Term Loans.

(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff, defense or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender in like funds as received any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other

than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

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

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment being made hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respectivepro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days of such required date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(g) This Section 4.09 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement, including payments made in connection with an assignment expressly permitted under Section 11.06. This Section 4.09 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.16 and Section 12.01, 12.02 and 12.03. This Section 4.09 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made in connection with any assignment, purchase or other transaction expressly permitted under Section 11.06(g) or 11.06(h).

Section 4.10. Requirements of Law.(a) If any Change in Law:

(i) shall subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by it (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tax on such Lender’s loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto), or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Administrative Agent in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 4.11 and the imposition of, or any change in rate of, (a) any taxes excluded from the definition of Non-Excluded Taxes in Section 4.11(a), or (b) taxes for which the Borrower is not required to pay an additional amount pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of the second sentence of Section 4.11(a));

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent by an amount that such Lender or the Administrative Agent deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of any Change in Law with respect to taxes covered by this Section 4.10(a), any Loan), or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall within thirty days after receipt of written notice from such Lender or the Administrative Agent (which shall include the certificate described in clause (c) below) pay such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or

the Administrative Agent for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital, or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (which shall include the certificate described in clause (c) below), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender within 30 days after receipt of such notice such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such holding company for such reduction;provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than four months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; andprovided further that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such four-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower with appropriate detail demonstrating how such amounts were derived (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 4.11. Taxes.(a) All payments made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Agent or any Lender by a jurisdiction under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its principal office is located, or as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any

such connection arising solely from such Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any jurisdiction described in clause (i) above, and (iii) any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed under FATCA. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement,provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (f), (g) or (h) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or the date such Lender designates a new lending office, except to the extent that such Lender or such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, transfer or designation, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

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

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount of such Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority, and as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower or such other Loan Party showing payment thereof.

(d) The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes (other than any such taxes to the extent that the Borrower would not be required to pay additional amounts pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of the second sentence of Section 4.11(a) if those taxes were deducted from payments under this Agreement) and Other Taxes and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate

as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender or the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This indemnification payment shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(c)(iii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any taxes excluded from indemnification by the Loan Parties under Section 4.11(a) that are attributable to such Lender and are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Each Lender or Agent (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (and in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender or Participant claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement or statements substantially in the form of Exhibit F), Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN (together with any statements or Internal Revenue Service forms, as appropriate), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming, if applicable, complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents). Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of

any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender, including promptly upon any written request made in good faith by the Borrower or Administrative Agent alleging such obsolescence or invalidity. If a payment made to a Lender or Agent hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or Agent has complied with such Lender’s or Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 4.11(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

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

(h) Each Lender and Agent that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. Such forms shall be delivered by each such Lender and Agent on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each such Lender or

Agent shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender or Agent, including promptly upon any written request made in good faith by the Borrower or Administrative Agent alleging such obsolescence or invalidity.

(i) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower (x) prior to the date on which the first payment by the Borrower is due hereunder or (y) in the case of a successor agent appointed pursuant to Section 10.09, prior to the first date following such appointment on which a payment by the Borrower is due hereunder, as applicable, two copies of a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 or such other properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law certifying its entitlement to an exemption from applicable U.S. federal withholding taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Administrative Agent by the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document including, as applicable, an IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that the Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and intends to be treated as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code pursuant to Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations. The Administrative Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 4.11(i) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower of its legal inability to do so.

(j) If any Lender or Agent determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has received a refund in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower in which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.11, it shall, within 30 days from the date of such receipt, pay over the refund to the relevant indemnifying party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the relevant indemnifying party under this Section 4.11 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to the refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the indemnified party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to the refund);provided,however, that such indemnifying party, upon the request of the indemnified party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the relevant indemnifying party (plus penalties, interest and other charges, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent) to the indemnified party if the indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (j), in no event will an indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (j), the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid and the taxes giving rise to such payments had never been imposed. Nothing contained in this Section 4.11 shall require any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems, in its sole discretion, to be confidential or proprietary).

(k) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 4.12. Indemnity.The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss (other than loss of profits) or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making by the Borrower of a prepayment of, or receipt by a Lender of principal of, Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto,provided that any Lender seeking indemnity pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall have provided notice to the Borrower of such loss or expense within four months of the conclusion of the events giving rise to such loss or expense. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any)over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section with appropriate detail demonstrating how such amounts were derived submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 4.13. Change of Lending Office.Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 4.10, 4.11(a), 4.11(d) or 4.16 with respect to such Lender, it will, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to or, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, to (i) file any certificate or document or (ii) designate another lending office for any

Loans affected by such event, in each case, with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event;provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, andprovided further that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.11(a).

Section 4.14. Replacement of Lenders.The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.10, 4.11(a) or 4.11(d), (ii) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, supplement or waiver with respect to any of the provisions of the Loan Documents as contemplated in Section 11.01 where such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver has been approved by the Required Lenders in accordance with such Section, fails to consent to any such proposed action or (iii) [reserved], with a replacement financial institution;provided that (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (B) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (C) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 4.13 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.10, 4.11(a) or 4.11(d), (D) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and the Borrower or the replacement financial institution shall pay any interest, fees (including if such replacement is pursuant to clause (ii) and is in connection with a Repricing Transaction, any prepayment fee, if applicable, payable pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (in which case such assignment shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment and such fee shall be payable by the Borrower)) and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement and, in the case of clause (ii) above, shall have consented to such requested amendment, modification, supplement or waiver, (E) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 4.12 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (F) to the extent the Administrative Agent’s consent to an assignment to such replacement Lender would otherwise be required under Section 11.06, the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (G) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (H) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 4.10, 4.11(a) or 4.11(d), as the case may be, and (I) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 4.14.

Section 4.15. Evidence of Debt.(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 4.15(a) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, beprima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded;provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans of such Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit G with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount.

Section 4.16. Illegality.Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be suspended until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law.

Section 7.12. Designation of Subsidiaries.The Borrower may at any time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary;provided that (a) immediately before and after such designation, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (b) the Borrower may not be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and (c) no Subsidiary may be designated as or continue as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it is a “Restricted Subsidiary” for the purposes of the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, the Second Lien Notes Documents, any Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt or any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness. The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Borrower therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Borrower’s or its Subsidiary’s (as applicable) investment therein. No Unrestricted Subsidiary shall at any time own any Capital Stock or Indebtedness of, or own or hold any Lien on, any property of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and no Unrestricted Subsidiary shall incur any Indebtedness pursuant to which any lender has recourse to any assets of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Capital Stock of such Unrestricted Subsidiary). The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Investment, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time. No Unrestricted Subsidiary, once designated as a Restricted Subsidiary, may thereafter be redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

Section 7.13.

THE AGENTS

Section 10.01. Appointment.Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents (including the Intercreditor Agreements and releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents and (ii) negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each Lender further acknowledges that it has received a copy of each Intercreditor Agreement and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into or execute a joinder to the same, and agrees to be bound by its terms. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees that Credit Suisse AG, in its various capacities thereunder, may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby (i) acknowledges that Credit Suisse AG may act under one or more Intercreditor Agreements in multiple capacities as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the administrative agent and the collateral agent pursuant to other Indebtedness subject thereto and (ii) waives any conflict of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against Credit Suisse AG or any of its Related Persons any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto.

120

Section 10.02. Delegation of Duties.Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such agent and attorney and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as agent or attorney.

Section 10.03. Exculpatory Provisions.Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or for the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 6 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. No Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law.

Section 10.04. Reliance by Agents.Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons

121

and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Loan Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

Section 10.05. Notice of Default.No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement);provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 10.06. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into

122

this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

Section 10.07. Indemnification.The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing;provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. For purposes of this Section 10.07, a Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage shall be determined based upon its share of the Aggregate Exposure at the time.

Section 10.08. Agent in Its Individual Capacity.Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent.

123

With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 10.09. Successor Administrative Agent.The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon ten days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 9.01(a) or Section 9.01(f) with respect to Holdings or the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is ten days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders and, if applicable, the Borrower appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Each of the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by the Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 10 and of Section 11.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.10. Agents Generally.Except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

124

Section 10.11. The Lead Arrangers.The Lead Arrangers, in their capacity as such, shall have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.

Section 10.12. The Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent.None of the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent, in their respective capacities as such, shall have any duties or responsibilities, or shall incur any liability, under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.

Section 10.13.Obligations under Specified Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, no Qualified Counterparty that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee Obligation pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan 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 Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 10 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, obligations with respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement 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 Qualified Counterparty.

Section 10.14.Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements. Each Lender (a) understands, acknowledges and agrees that Liens have already been or will be created on the Collateral pursuant to the Second Lien Notes Documents and the Revolving Credit Facility Documents and may otherwise be created on the Collateral as permitted hereunder, which Liens shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Intercreditor Agreements or such other intercreditor arrangement or subordination arrangement otherwise contemplated hereunder, (b) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement or such other intercreditor arrangement or subordination arrangement contemplated hereunder, (c) hereby agrees that, in the event of any direct conflict between the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement or such other intercreditor arrangement or subordination arrangement on the one hand and the Loan Documents on the other hand, the provisions of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or such other intercreditor arrangement or subordination arrangement shall govern to the extent of such conflict and (d) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into each Intercreditor Agreement or such other intercreditor arrangement or subordination arrangement (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements

125

or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to such agreement) in connection with the incurrence by any Loan Party of the Revolving Credit Facility, any Second Lien Notes Document, Ratio Debt, Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, or other Indebtedness contemplated herein to be subordinated to the Obligations, or in each case any Permitted Refinancing thereof, in order to permit such Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected Liens on the Collateral with the priority contemplated hereby or to provide for the subordination thereof to the Obligations as contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE 11

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.01. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.01. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences;provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive or decrease the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan owing to such Lender, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan owing to such Lender, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable to such Lender hereunder (except that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of any mandatory reduction of Commitments shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or impose any additional restrictions on such Lender’s ability to assign any of

126

its rights or obligations under any Loan Document in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.01 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or Majority Facility Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, or amend, modify or waive Section 4.09(a) or (b), in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; or (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article 10 without the written consent of each Agent adversely affected thereby. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and other definitions related to such new Class;providedthat the consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required to make any such changes necessary to be made in connection with any borrowing of Incremental Term Loans or any Incremental Revolving Commitments.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.01, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of Section 10.14, Section 12.01 (including, without limitation, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitment, to provide for provisions relating to the making of revolving loans, and swingline loans and the issuance of letters of credit, provisions with respect to “defaulting lenders” and other customary provisions generally applicable to revolving credit facilities), Section 12.02 and Section 12.03.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent

127

to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs;provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as such than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower. Each Affiliated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this paragraph.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days after notice thereof.

129

Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have

130

been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents.

132

Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee, except to the extent any of the foregoing are determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties. All amounts due under this Section 11.05 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand is submitted to the Borrower therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.05, shall be delivered to the Borrower at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 11.02, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee and (ii) no Indemnitee shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against the Borrower, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any transaction contemplated hereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof;provided that the Borrower shall indemnify and reimburse any Indemnitee for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages that such Indemnitee may be liable for to the extent otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Section 11.05. The agreements in this Section 11.05 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. This Section 11.05 shall not apply with respect to taxes other than taxes that represent losses, claims, damage, etc. arising from any nontax claim.

Section 11.06. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) and paragraph (j) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than a natural person) (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

133

(A) the Borrower,provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an (x) assignment during the primary syndication of the Facilities to persons previously identified by the Lead Arrangers to, and agreed to by, the Borrower, (y) assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person or (z) assignment by the Administrative Agent (or its affiliates);provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment to a Competitor; and

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delay).

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent,provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) the parties to each assignment shall (x) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (y) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and, in each case, shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent);

134

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an administrative questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material nonpublic information about the Loan Parties and their Affiliates or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws) and all requisite tax forms under Section 4.11;

(D) in the case of an assignment to a related CLO, the assigning Lender shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,provided that the Assignment and Assumption between such Lender and such CLO may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of such CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.01 and (2) directly affects such CLO;

(E) if to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, the additional limitations in Section 11.06(g); and

(F) if to any Affiliated Lender, to the additional limitations in Section 11.06(h).

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 and 11.05, subject to such Lender’s continued compliance with any applicable requirements contained in such Sections). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.06 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

135

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.02 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, together with any tax forms required herein, the Administrative Agent (A) promptly shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and (B) record the information contained therein in the Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Subject to paragraph (j) below, any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments 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 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;provided further that no Lender may sell participations to a Competitor. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the

136

Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.01 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.10, 4.11, and 4.12 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.07(b) as though it were a Lender,provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.07(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.10 or 4.11 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.11 unless such Participant complies with Section 4.11(f).

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register in the United States on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts and stated interest of each Participant’s interest in the Commitments, Loans or other obligations under any Loan Document (the “Participant Register”);provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans are in registered form under Treas. Reg. § 5f.103-1(c). 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 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) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

137

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

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 11.06(b). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender;provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(g) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of Term Loans to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction Procedures or (y) open market purchases, subject to the following limitations:

(i) [reserved];

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of any such assignment or would result therefrom;

(iii) immediately upon such acquisition (or immediately upon contribution or assignment thereto from an Affiliated Lender to Holdings or the Borrower as contemplated by Section 11.06(h)(iii)), such Term Loans and all rights and obligations as a Lender related thereto shall for all purposes (including under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise) be deemed to be automatically, irrevocably and permanently prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect and none of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall obtain or have any rights as a Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such acquisition, capital contribution or assignment;

138

(iv) no proceeds of any loans made under an Incremental Revolving Commitment may be used to effect such purchase or assignment;

(v) Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will not have the right to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to, and will not, attend or participate in meetings or conference calls attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices or prepayments and other administrative notices;

(vi) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including in the definitions of “Consolidated Net Income” and “Consolidated EBITDA”), any non-cash gains in respect of “cancellation of indebtedness” resulting from the cancellation of any Term Loans purchased by or contributed to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall be excluded from the determination of Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated EBITDA; and

(vii) the cancellation of Term Loans as provided in clause (iii) above shall not constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of Section 4.02 or 4.03, but the face amount of Term Loans cancelled as provided for in clause (iii) above shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the applicable Class of Term Loans.

(h) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of Term Loans to any Affiliated Lender on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction Procedures or (y) open market purchases, subject to the following limitations:

(i) Affiliated Lenders will not have the right to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to, and will not, attend or participate in meetings or conference calls attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices or prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders;

139

(ii) notwithstanding anything in Section 11.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any similar term to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the “Required Lenders” or similar term have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any plan of reorganization or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Term Loans held by any Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders or similar term have taken any actions; and each Affiliated Lender hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law is not deemed to have been so voted, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar provision under such other debtor relief law) such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar provision under such debtor relief law) and each Affiliated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (ii);

(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Affiliated Lender may make one or more capital contributions or assignments of Term Loans that it acquires in accordance with this Section 11.06(h) to Holdings or the Borrower solely in exchange for debt or equity interest of Holdings permitted hereunder; and

(iv) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Affiliate Debt Funds) may not exceed 25% of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans and any assignments that cause the Affiliated Lenders in the aggregate to exceed such percentage shall be deemed void ab initio and the Register shall be modified to reflect a reversal of such assignment.

140

Each Affiliated Lender that is an assignee shall identify itself as such in the applicable Assignment and Assumption. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender or an Affiliate Debt Fund nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the number of Affiliated Lenders or Affiliate Debt Funds or the aggregate amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders or Affiliate Debt Funds.

(i) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Term Loan Commitment, and the outstanding balance of its Term Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an eligible assignee for purposes hereof and is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption and that it is not a Competitor (or, if it is a Competitor, the Borrower has consented to such assignment), (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 5.01 or delivered pursuant to Section 7.01 and such other documents (including all Intercreditor Agreements) and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption, (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

141

(j) In no event shall the Administrative Agent (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Person is a Competitor or (ii) have any liability with respect to any assignment or participation of Loans to any Competitor.

Section 11.07. Adjustments; Set-off.(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9.01(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding such a participation described above in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.01(a), in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount to the extent due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, other than payroll or trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender,provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

142

A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.09. Severability.Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

ARTICLE 12

ADDITIONAL CREDITS

Section 12.01. Incremental Facilities.(a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders), request (i) an increase to an existing tranche, and/or the addition of one or more additional tranches, of first-lien term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) or (ii) the addition of a revolving credit facility (or an increase in the commitments thereof, if applicable) (each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”);provided that unless the proceeds of any such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments will be used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Revolving Commitment is made or effected (and after giving effect thereto), no Specified Event of Default shall exist.

(b) Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans and each Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability). The incurrence of Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be permitted so long as, at the time of incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of the Borrower does not exceed 3.25:1.00 and the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Borrower does not exceed 5.00:1.00, in each case calculated on a pro forma basis for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available immediately preceding the fiscal quarter in which such Indebtedness is incurred (assuming for purposes of any such calculation that any commitments in respect of any of the foregoing are fully drawn).

147

(c) The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rankpari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Loans outstanding hereunder, (ii) shall not mature earlier than the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date and shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche B Term Loans, (iii) shall have interest rates, rate floors, upfront fees, original issue discounts, premiums and amortization schedules (subject to clause (ii) above) and, subject to Section 4.02 and 4.09, optional and mandatory prepayments (including call protection and prepayment premiums) determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereof and (iv) may have other terms and conditions (subject to clauses (i) and (ii) above) different from those of the other Term Loans outstanding hereunder which are market terms (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) as may be agreed between the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans.

(d) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 12.01 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Incremental Revolving Commitments may be provided, by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender will have an obligation to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan, and no existing Lender will have any obligation to provide a portion of any Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Borrower shall have no obligation to offer any such existing Lender the opportunity to participate in the provision of any such loans or commitments) or by any Additional Lender;provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment if such consent would be required under Section 11.06 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender.

(e) Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any

148

Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in such Incremental Amendment. The Borrower may use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Revolving Commitments for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) In the event that the All-in Yield for any Incremental Term Loans is more than 0.50% per annum greater than the All-in Yield for the Tranche B Term Loans, then the Applicable Margin for the Tranche B Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the All-in Yield for such Incremental Term Loans shall not be more than 0.50% per annum greater than the All-in Yield for the Tranche B Term Loans. For purposes of this clause (f), if any Incremental Term Loan includes an interest rate “floor” greater than the Eurodollar or Base Rate “floors” applicable to the Tranche B Term Loans, such differential between the floors shall be equated to the applicable All-in Yield for purposes of determining whether an increase to the Applicable Margin for the Tranche B Term Loans shall be required, but only to the extent an increase in the Eurodollar or Base Rate “floors” for the Tranche B Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect for the Tranche B Term Loans, and in such case, the Eurodollar and Base Rate “floors” (but not the Applicable Margin) applicable to the Tranche B Term Loans shall be increased to the extent of such differential between the interest rate floors (but only to the extent necessary to achieve the 0.50% differential described above).

(g) This Section 12.01 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.09 or 11.01 to the contrary.

Section 12.02. Amend and Extend Transactions.(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower and any Lender may agree, by notice to the Administrative Agent (each such notice, an “Extension Notice”), to extend (an “Extension”) the Maturity Date of such Lender’s Term Loans of a Class (which term, for purposes of this provision, shall also include any term loans outstanding hereunder pursuant to a previous Amend and Extend Transaction or any Refinancing Term Loan Facility, or any tranche of Incremental Term Loans) to the extended maturity date specified in such Extension Notice and Extension Amendment (each tranche of Term Loans so extended as well as the original Term Loans not so extended, being deemed a separate Class; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which they were converted; any Class of Term Loans the maturity of which shall have been extended pursuant to this Section 12.02, “Extended Term Loans”);provided that (i) the Borrower shall have offered to all Lenders under the applicable Class the opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions to each such Lender (each such offer, an “Extension Offer”), (ii) all terms and conditions governing the Extended Term

149

Loans other than scheduled amortization, and subject to clause (iv) below, shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the applicable Extension Offer), (iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date applicable to the original Term Loans at the time of Extension, (iv) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments or commitment reductions hereunder, as specified in the applicable Extension Offer, (v) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans under the applicable Facility not extended pursuant to such Extension Offer, (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (vii) all documentation in respect of such Extension Offer (including any Extension Notice and any amendment to this Agreement implementing the terms of such Extension Offer (each such amendment, an “Extension Amendment”)) shall be consistent with the foregoing and (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower. In connection with any such Extension, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with the approval of the extending Lenders of the applicable Extension Series, may effect such amendments (including any Extension Amendment) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Extension Offer, including any amendments necessary to establish new Classes, tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended tranches), in each case on terms not inconsistent with this Section 12.02.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 12.02, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 4.02 or Section 4.03 and (ii) any Extension Offer is required to be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount as then available),provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans of any or all applicable tranches accept the applicable Extension Offer.

150

(c) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall mutually establish procedures with the Administrative Agent to accomplish the purposes of this Section 12.02.

(d) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans of a given Extension Series to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Amendment”) within 15 days following the determination of such error, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Amendment shall (i) provide for the conversion and extension of Term Loans under the existing Term Loan Class in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans of the applicable Extension Series into which such other Term Loans were initially converted in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension Amendment, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree (including conditions of the type required to be satisfied for the effectiveness of an Extension Amendment described in Section 12.02(a)), and (iii) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the ultimate sentence of Section 12.02(a).

(e) This Section 12.02 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.09 or Section 11.01 to the contrary.

Section 12.03. Refinancing Amendments.(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in the form of Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Term Loan Commitments in respect of all or any portion of any Class of Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purpose of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Refinancing Term Loans) pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment;provided that (x) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (A) will rankpari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (B) will have such pricing (including interest rates, rate

151

floors, fees, original issue discounts and premiums) and, subject to Section 4.02 and 4.09, optional and mandatory prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (C) will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Class of Term Loans being refinanced and (D) will have terms and conditions that are otherwise agreed to between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness and (y) the Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness if such consent would be required under Section 11.06 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to satisfaction, on the date thereof (each, a“Refinancing Amendment Closing Date”), of each of the conditions set forth in such Refinancing Amendment. Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 12.03 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount of Indebtedness being refinanced as is then outstanding). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Term Loan Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 12.03.

(b) This Section 12.03 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.09 or Section 11.01 to the contrary.

EXHIBIT B

AUCTION PROCEDURES

This outline is intended to summarize certain basic terms and procedures with respect to Auctions pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 11.06(g) and 11.06(h) of the credit agreement, of which this Exhibit B is a part (the “Credit Agreement”). It is not intended to be a definitive list of all of the terms and conditions of an Auction and all such terms and conditions shall be set forth in the applicable Auction Procedures set for each Auction (the “Offer Documents”). None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, any other Agent or any of their respective affiliates makes any recommendation pursuant to the Offer Documents as to whether or not any Lender should sell by assignment any of its Term Loans pursuant to the Offer Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by participating in the Auction as a Lender) or whether or not Holdings, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliated Lender should purchase by assignment any Term Loans from any Lender pursuant to any Auction. Each Lender should make its own decision as to whether to sell by assignment any of its Term Loans and, if so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Term Loans. In addition, each Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning any Auction and the Offer Documents. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 11.06(h) shall also apply to all non-pro rata assignments of Term Loans made to Affiliated Lenders, and the provisions of Section 11.06(g) shall also apply to all non-pro rata assignments of Term Loans made to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

Summary. Affiliated Lenders, Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may purchase (by assignment) Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis by conducting one or more auctions (each, an “Auction”) pursuant to the procedures described herein;provided, that no more than one Auction may be ongoing at any one time and no more than eight Auctions may be made in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower.

Notice Procedures. In connection with each Auction, Holdings, the Borrower, the applicable Subsidiary or the applicable Affiliated Lender (as applicable) (the “Offeror”) will provide notification to the Auction Manager (for distribution to the Lenders) of the Term Loans that will be the subject of the Auction by delivering to the Auction Manager a written notice (an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount of Term Loans the Offeror is willing to purchase (by assignment) in the Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess of thereof; (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000, at which the Offeror would be willing to purchase Term Loans in the Auction; and (iii) the date on which the Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (as defined below) will be due at the time provided in the Auction Notice (such time, the “Expiration Time”), as such date and time may be extended upon notice by the Offeror to the Auction Manager before the original Expiration Time, as more fully set forth in the Auction Notice.

Reply Procedures. In connection with any Auction, each Lender holding Term Loans wishing to participate in such Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a notice of participation in form reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager (the “Return Bid”, to be included in the Offer Documents) which shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price per $1,000 of Term Loans (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans, in an amount not less than $1,000,000, that such Lender is willing to offer for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”);provided, that each Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less

than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount comprises the entire amount of the Term Loans held by such Lender at such time. A Lender may only submit one Return Bid per Auction, but each Return Bid may contain up to three component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid (as defined below) and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, a participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, an Assignment and Acceptance in the form included in the Offer Documents which shall be in form and substance consistent with Exhibit A to the Credit Agreement or otherwise satisfactory to the Auction Manager, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (the “Auction Assignment and Acceptance”). The Offeror will not purchase any Term Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price (as defined below).

Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Offeror, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for the Auction within the Discount Range for the Auction that will allow the Offeror to complete the Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term Loans for which the Offeror has received Qualifying Bids). The Offeror shall purchase (by assignment) Term Loans from each Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). The principal amounts of Term Loans included in Qualifying Bids received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration. If a Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple component bids at different Reply Prices, then all Term Loans of such Lender offered in any such component bid that constitutes a Qualifying Bid with a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price shall also be purchased at a purchase price in cash equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration.

Proration Procedures. All Term Loans offered in Return Bids (or, if applicable, any component bid thereof) constituting Qualifying Bids equal to the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the Applicable Threshold Price;provided that if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Auction equal to the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (after deducting all Term Loans purchased below the Applicable Threshold Price), the Offeror shall purchase the Term Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount up to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, no Return Bids (or any component thereof) will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price.

Notification Procedures. The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price no later than the next Business Day after the date that the Return Bids were due. The Auction Manager will insert the amount of Term Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Offeror onto each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. Upon written request of the submitting Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.

Additional Procedures. Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled;provided that a Lender may modify a Return Bid at any time prior to the Expiration Time solely to reduce the Reply Price included in

such Return Bid. However, an Auction shall become void if the Offeror fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions to the purchase of Term Loans set forth in Section 11.06(g) or 11.06(h) of the Credit Agreement, as applicable, or to otherwise comply with any of the provisions of such Sections 11.06(g) or 11.06(h). The purchase price for all Term Loans purchased in an Auction shall be paid in cash by the Offeror directly to the respective assigning Lender on a settlement date as determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Offeror (which shall be no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date Return Bids are due), along with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on the applicable Term Loans up to the settlement date. The Offeror shall execute each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid.

All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Term Loans that are the subject of an Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Offeror, and the Auction Manager’s determination will be final and binding absent manifest error. The Auction Manager’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer Document, in consultation with the Offeror, will be final and binding absent manifest error.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, any other Agent or any of their respective affiliates assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Borrower, the Loan Parties, or any of their affiliates contained in the Offer Documents or otherwise or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information.

Immediately upon the consummation of an Auction pursuant to Section 11.06(g) of the Credit Agreement, the Term Loans subject to such Auction and all rights and obligations as a Lender related to such Term Loans shall for all purposes (including under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise) be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect, and neither Holdings ,the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall obtain nor have any rights as a Lender under the Credit Agreement or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of the acquisition of any Term Loans subject to such Auction.

This Exhibit B shall not require Holdings, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliated Lender to initiate any Auction, nor shall any Lender be obligated to participate in any Auction.

(a) Mortgagor represents and warrants that (i) Mortgagor has good and marketable title to the Premises, subject only to the matters that are set forth in Schedule B of the title insurance policy or policies being issued to Mortgagee to insure the lien of this Mortgage and the Liens expressly permitted under Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Permitted Exceptions”); (ii) Mortgagor is the owner of, or has a valid leasehold interest in, the Equipment and all other items constituting the Mortgaged Property, in each case free and clear of all Liens other than the Permitted Exceptions (including any rights of any lessor of the Equipment); (iii) the Permitted Exceptions do not materially interfere with the use, enjoyment or operation of the Mortgaged Property or, to Mortgagor’s knowledge, materially and adversely affect the value thereof; (iv) to Mortgagor’s knowledge, the improvements located on the land do not materially interfere with any of the Permitted Exceptions; (v) the execution, delivery and performance by the Mortgagor of this Mortgage are within the Mortgagor’s organizational power, have been duly authorized by all necessary company action, require no consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or other action by, any governmental authority (except for consents and approvals which have been obtained and the recording or filing of this Mortgage and UCC financing statements, if any), to Mortgagor’s knowledge do not violate any applicable law or regulation, do not violation the organizational documents or by-laws of the Mortgagor or any order of any governmental authority, will not violate in any material respect or result in a material default under any material agreement or other instrument binding upon the Mortgagor or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Mortgagor, and will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Mortgagor (other than the Lien of this Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property); and (vi) this Mortgage constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable agreement of the Mortgagor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or moratorium or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

(b) Mortgagor shall cause the warranties in subsection (a) of this Section to be true and correct in all material respects; and forever preserve, protect, warrant and defend (i) its estate, right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the validity, enforceability and priority of the Lien of this Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property, and (iii) the right, title and interest of the Mortgagee hereunder or relating hereto, in each case, against all other Liens and claims whatsoever, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

(c) Mortgagor, at its sole cost and expense, shall (i) promptly correct any defect or error which may be discovered in this Mortgage or any financing statement or other document relating hereto; and (ii) promptly execute, acknowledge, deliver, record andre-record, register andre-register, and file andre-file this Mortgage and any financing statements or other documents which may be required from time to time (all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee) in order to effectuate, complete, perfect, continue or preserve (A) the Lien of this Mortgage as a first Lien on the Mortgaged Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, or (B) any right, power or privilege granted or intended to be granted to the Mortgagee hereunder or otherwise accomplish the purposes of this Mortgage.

2.Payment of Obligations. Mortgagor shall pay and perform the Obligations at the times and places and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement, Guarantee, this Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents.

3.Requirements. (a) Mortgagor shall promptly comply with, or cause to be complied with, or conform, as appropriate, in all material respects, to all present and future laws, statutes, codes, acts, ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees, rules, regulations and requirements, and irrespective of the nature of the work to be done, of each of the United States of America, any State and any municipality, local government or other political subdivision thereof and any agency, department, bureau, board, commission or other instrumentality of any of them, now existing or subsequently created (collectively, “Governmental Authority”) which has jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property and all covenants, restrictions and conditions now or later of record which may be applicable to any of the Mortgaged Property, or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration, repair or reconstruction of any of the Mortgaged Property, except to the extent that failure to comply or conform, therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Mortgagor shall have the right, after notice

given reasonably in advance to Mortgagee, to contest in good faith by appropriate legal proceedings, the validity or application of, or alleged non-compliance with, any Legal Requirement, except to the extent any such contest relates to any matter or Legal Requirement set forth in Section 3(b) below, in which case Mortgagee’s prior written consent shall be required. The execution, delivery and performance of this Mortgage will not contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under, any Legal Requirements, in any material respect.

(b) Except to the extent such occurrence is a Permitted Exception or otherwise exists on the date hereof, from and after the date of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall not by act or omission permit any building or other improvement on any premises not subject to the lien of this Mortgage to rely on the Premises or any part thereof or any interest therein to fulfill any Legal Requirement (except if otherwise required by Legal Requirement) in any manner that would have a material adverse effect on the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall not by act or omission impair the integrity of any of the Real Estate so as to constitute an illegal subdivision or to prohibit the Premises and Improvements from being conveyed as one zoning or tax lot. Mortgagor represents that the Premises are not part of a larger tract of land owned by Mortgagor or its affiliates or otherwise considered as part of one zoning or tax lot, or, if they are, that any authorization or variance required for the subdivision of such larger tract which a sale of the Premises would entail has been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities so that the Premises and Improvements constitute one zoning or tax lot capable of being conveyed as such. Any act or omission by Mortgagor which would result in a violation of any of the provisions of this subsection shall be void.

4.Payment of Taxes and Other Impositions. (a) Prior to delinquency, Mortgagor shall pay and discharge (unless contested in good faith as set forth in Section 4(c) herein) all taxes of every kind and nature imposed upon or assessed against or which may become a lien on any of the Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, all real and personal property, income, franchise, withholding, transfer, gains, profits and gross receipts taxes), all charges for any easement or agreement maintained for the benefit of any of the Mortgaged Property, all general and special assessments, levies, permits, inspection and license fees, all water, gas, electricity, steam and sewer rents and charges, vault taxes, excises, rates and charges and all other public and governmental charges even if unforeseen or extraordinary, imposed upon or assessed against or which may become a lien on any of the Mortgaged Property, or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or possession or activity conducted on the Mortgaged Property, or all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies that, which at any time, if unpaid, may become a Lien on the Mortgaged Property, together with any penalties or interest on any of the foregoing (all of the foregoing are collectively referred to as the “Impositions”). Mortgagor shall at any time upon request,

deliver to Mortgagee (i) original or copies of receipted bills and cancelled checks evidencing payment of such Imposition if it is a real estate tax or other public charge and (ii) evidence reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee showing the payment of any other such Imposition. If by law any Imposition, at Mortgagor’s option, may be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Mortgagor may elect to pay such Imposition in such installments and shall be responsible for the payment of such installments with interest, if any.

(b) Nothing herein shall affect any right or remedy of Mortgagee under this Mortgage or otherwise, without demand but with simultaneous notice to Mortgagor, to pay, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, any Imposition after the date such Imposition shall have become due. Any sums paid by Mortgagee in discharge of any Impositions shall be payable on demand by Mortgagor to Mortgagee together with interest at the Default Rate as set forth above.

(c) Mortgagor shall have the right before any delinquency occurs to contest or object in good faith to the amount or validity of any Imposition by appropriate legal proceedings, but such right shall not be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying, or extending Mortgagor’s covenant to pay any such Imposition at the time and in the manner provided in this Section unless (i) the legal proceedings would not reasonably be expected to result in the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Mortgaged Property, or any material part thereof, to satisfy such Imposition prior to final determination of such proceedings and (ii) Mortgagor shall (A) establish reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto on Mortgagor’s books or (B) furnish a good and sufficient bond or surety as required in connection with any such proceeding.

(i) property insurance covering the Improvements and Equipment (and any replacements or substitutions thereof) against loss or damage by fire, lightning, windstorm, tornado, water damage, flood, earthquake and by such other further risks and hazards as now are or subsequently may be covered by an “all risk” policy or a fire policy covering “special” causes of loss, and the per occurrence limits shall be automatically reinstated after each loss, except to the extent that any annual aggregate limit would be exceeded;

(ii) commercial general liability insurance under a policy or policies (which requirement may be partially satisfied by umbrella/excess coverage) including the “broad form CGL endorsement” (or which incorporates the language of such endorsement), covering all claims for personal injury, bodily injury or death, or property damage occurring on, in or about the Premises in an amount not less than $10,000,000 combined single limit with respect to injury and property damage relating to any one occurrence plus such excess limits (in amounts commercially reasonable for Mortgagor’s use of the Premises) as Mortgagee shall reasonably request from time to time (and Mortgagor shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of notice to obtain any increase in coverage required under this Section);

(iii) insurance against rent loss, extra expense or business interruption in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, but not less than one year’s rents or gross earnings;

(v) such other insurance in such amounts as Mortgagee may reasonably request from time to time against loss or damage by any other risk commonly insured against by persons occupying or using like properties in the locality or localities in which the Real Estate is situated.

(b) Each insurance policy (other than flood insurance) shall (x) provide that it shall not be cancelled, non-renewed or materially amended without 30-days’ prior written notice to Mortgagee, and (y) with respect to all property insurance, provide for deductibles in an amount reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee and contain a “Replacement Cost Endorsement” or similar clause providing for replacement cost coverage (except to the extent sublimited) without any deduction made for depreciation and with no co-insurance penalty (or attaching an agreed amount endorsement satisfactory to Mortgagee), with loss payable solely to Mortgagee as its interest may appear, without contribution, under a mortgagee clause reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee. Liability insurance policies shall name Mortgagee as an additional insured and contain a waiver of subrogation against Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall issue a letter to the insurance company providing that any proceeds which are payable to Mortgagee shall be paid by check payable to the order of Mortgagee only and requiring the endorsement of Mortgagee.

(c) Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee an original of each insurance policy required to be maintained, or a certificate of such insurance reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee, together with a copy of the declaration page (or a copy of the binder if no declaration page is available) for each such policy. Mortgagor shall (i) pay as they become due all premiums for such insurance and (ii) not later than seven (7) days prior to the expiration of each policy to be furnished pursuant to the provisions of this Section, deliver to Mortgagee a certificate or binder of such insurance confirming renewal of same.

(d) If Mortgagor is in default of its obligations to insure or deliver any such proof of coverage, then Mortgagee, at its option and without notice, may effect such insurance from year to year, and pay the premium or premiums therefor, and Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on demand such premium or premiums so paid by Mortgagee with interest from the time of payment at the Default Rate.

(e) Mortgagor promptly shall comply with and conform in all material respects to (i) all provisions of each such insurance policy, and (ii) all conditions of the insurers applicable to Mortgagor or to any of the Mortgaged Property or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of any of the Mortgaged Property, which are required by the insurers to be complied with in order to maintain such insurance policy in full force and effect. Mortgagor shall not use or permit the use of the Mortgaged Property in any manner which would permit any insurer to cancel any insurance policy or void coverage required to be maintained by this Mortgage. The execution, delivery and performance of this Mortgage will not contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under, any insurance policies.

(f) Provided no Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing (or if any such Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless Mortgagee consents thereto), Mortgagor may settle and adjust any insurance claim without the prior consent of Mortgagee; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Mortgagor is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the insurance proceeds;provided, however, that Mortgagor shall, promptly after any such damage, repair all such damage (to the extent such repairs are commercially reasonable) regardless of whether any insurance proceeds have been received or whether such proceeds, if received, are sufficient to pay for the costs of repair.

(g) Mortgagor may maintain insurance required under this Mortgage by means of one or more blanket insurance policies maintained by Mortgagor;provided, however, that (A) any such policy shall specify, or Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee a written statement from the insurer so specifying, the maximum amount of the total insurance afforded by such blanket policy that is allocated to the Premises and the other Mortgaged Property and any sublimits in such blanket policy applicable to the Premises and the other Mortgaged Property and (B) the protection afforded under any such blanket policy shall be no less than that which would have been afforded under a separate policy or policies relating only to the Mortgaged Property.

Except to the extent constituting Net Cash Proceeds and applied pursuant to Section 4.03(b) of the Credit Agreement, and subject to Sections 5(f) and 9 above, Mortgagor shall use all insurance proceeds and all condemnation proceeds and awards to promptly restore (to the extent it is commercially reasonable to do so) the Mortgaged Property to substantially the same condition as prior to such casualty or condemnation (giving effect to the remaining configuration of the Premises after such condemnation) and in material compliance with all Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to Section 4.03(b) of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall have the right retain any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards that remain after completion of any such repairs or restorations.

11.Leases. (a) Mortgagor shall not (i) execute a collateral assignment or pledge of any Lease relating to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property other than in favor of Mortgagee, or (ii) except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee (which shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld), execute or permit to exist any Lease of any of the Mortgaged Property.

(b) As to any Lease now in existence or subsequently consented to by Mortgagee, except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, including without limitation, the licenses, leases and subleases permitted under Section 8.05(e) of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not supplement, alter, revise, modify or amend such Lease in any material respect or permit any such action to be taken nor shall Mortgagor accept the payment of rent more than thirty (30) days in advance of its due date (except for security deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any) without the prior written consent of Mortgagee (which shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld).

12.Further Assurances. To further assure Mortgagee’s rights under this Mortgage, Mortgagor agrees upon demand of Mortgagee to do any act or execute any additional documents (including, but not limited to, security agreements on any personalty included or to be included in the Mortgaged Property and a separate assignment of each Lease in recordable form) as may be reasonably required by Mortgagee to confirm the lien of this Mortgage and all other rights or benefits conferred on Mortgagee hereby.

13.Mortgagee’s Right to Perform. If Mortgagor fails to perform any of the covenants or agreements of Mortgagor, Mortgagee, without waiving or releasing Mortgagor from any obligation or default under this Mortgage, may, at

any time (but shall be under no obligation to) upon simultaneous notice to Mortgagor (without notice to Mortgagor if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), pay or perform the same (including entering upon the Premises to exercise any such right, power or remedy), and the amount or cost thereof, with interest at the Default Rate, shall immediately be due from Mortgagor to Mortgagee and the same shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be a lien on the Mortgaged Property prior to any right, title to, interest in or claim upon the Mortgaged Property attaching subsequent to the lien of this Mortgage. No payment or advance of money by Mortgagee under this Section shall be deemed or construed to cure Mortgagor’s default or waive any right or remedy of Mortgagee.

14.Indemnification. Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend each of the Mortgagee and each Lender and each of their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (such persons collectively with the Mortgagee, the “Indemnitees”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, actions, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs and damages, including defense costs, investigative fees and costs, and legal fees (“Claims”), incurred by or asserted against the Mortgagee or any other Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (a) the Mortgagee’s exercise of any of its rights and remedies; (b) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, street or ways; (c) any failure on the part of Mortgagor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Mortgage; (d) the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Premises or any part thereof; (e) any environmental liability; or (f) any other conduct or misconduct of the Mortgagor, any lessee or other occupant of any of the Premises, or any of their respective agents, contractors, subcontractors, servants, employees, licensees or invitees, in each case, except (i) to the extent that such Claim is found, in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from anyIndemnitee’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or (ii) arising out of, or in connection with, any proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee. Any amount payable under this Section 14 will be payable within ten (10) days of written demand and be deemed an Obligation and will bear interest at the Default Rate. The obligations of the Mortgagor under this Section 14 shall survive the termination of this Mortgage.

15.Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder (each, a “Designated Event of Default”):

(a) an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under the Credit Agreement;

(b) a failure (i) to keep in force insurance required by this Mortgage, or (ii) to comply with and conform in all material respects to all provisions and requirements of the insurance policies and the insurers thereunder which would affect Mortgagor’s ability to keep in force the insurance required by this Mortgage or to collect any proceeds therefrom, or (iii) to comply with any other material provisions of this Mortgage regarding insurance; or

(c) a failure of Mortgagor to duly perform and observe, or a violation or breach of, any other terms, covenants, provisions or conditions of Sections 6 or 7 of this Mortgage.

All notice and cure periods provided in the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents shall run concurrently with any notice or cure periods provided under applicable law.

16.Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, in addition to any other rights and remedies Mortgagee may have pursuant to the Loan Documents, or as provided by law, and without limitation, (a) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.01(f) of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable, and if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: with the consent of the Required Lenders, Mortgagee may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, Mortgagee shall, by notice to Borrower declare the Loans under the Credit Agreement (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts accrued or owing under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. Except as expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices (other than any notices expressly required by the terms of the Loan Documents) of any kind are hereby expressly waived. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may immediately take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such manner as Mortgagee may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee, whether or not the maturity of the Obligations has been accelerated:

(i) Mortgagee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (A) institute and maintain an action of mortgage foreclosure against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or the complete or partial sale of the Mortgaged Property under the power of sale hereunder or under any applicable provision of law, (B) institute and maintain an action on the Guarantee or any other Loan Document, (C) sell all or part of the Mortgaged Property (Mortgagor expressly granting to Mortgagee the power of sale), and all estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand of the Mortgagor therein and thereto, and all rights of redemption thereof, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, with such elements of real or personal property, at such time and place and upon such terms as the Mortgagee may deem expedient or as may be required under applicable law, and in the event of a sale hereunder or under any applicable provision of law of less than all of the Mortgaged Property, this Mortgage shall continue as a Lien on the remaining Mortgaged Property, or (D) take such other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of this Mortgage or any of the Loan Documents as the law may allow, including the right to exercise any statutory power of sale. Mortgagee may proceed in any such action to final judgment and execution thereon for all sums due hereunder, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate and all costs of suit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Interest at the Default Rate shall be due on any judgment obtained by Mortgagee from the date of judgment until actual payment is made of the full amount of the judgment. Mortgagor agrees that in addition to all other rights of Mortgagee hereunder and without waiving or modifying any of its rights, Mortgagee may to the maximum extent permitted by law, foreclose and at its sole option utilize the provisions of § [[846.101 and] 846.103, Wis Stats.], or its successor or any other statute which allows Mortgagee to obtain the Mortgaged Property by using a shortened redemption period.

(ii) Mortgagee may personally, or by its agents, attorneys and employees and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral as security for the Obligations enter into and upon the Mortgaged Property and each and every part thereof and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees therefrom without liability for trespass, damage or otherwise (Mortgagor hereby agreeing to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee upon demand at any such time) and use, operate, manage, maintain and control the Mortgaged Property and every part

thereof. Following such entry and taking of possession, Mortgagee shall be entitled, without limitation, (x) to lease all or any part or parts of the Mortgaged Property for such periods of time and upon such conditions as Mortgagee may, in its discretion, deem proper, (y) to enforce, cancel or modify any Lease and (z) generally to execute, do and perform any other act, deed, matter or thing concerning the Mortgaged Property as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate as fully as Mortgagor might do.

(iii) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without entry upon the Property, the Mortgagee or a receiver (as required by law and whichever is the Person exercising the rights under this clause) or, at such Person’s option, in the name of the Mortgagor, to collect, receive, sue for and recover all Rents and proceeds of or derived from the Mortgaged Property, and after deducting therefrom all costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by the Person exercising the rights under this clause in collecting the same and in using, operating, managing, preserving and controlling the Mortgaged Property and otherwise in exercising the rights under this Section or any other rights hereunder, including all amounts necessary to pay Impositions and other claims, Rents, insurance premiums and other costs, expenses and liabilities relating to the Premises, as well as compensation for the services of such Person and its managers, employees, contractors, agents or other representatives, to apply the remainder as provided in the Guarantee.

(iv) Mortgagee may take any action with respect to any Mortgaged Property permitted under the UCC.

(b) The holder of this Mortgage, in any action to foreclose it, shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver. In case of a foreclosure sale, the Real Estate may be sold, at Mortgagee’s election, in one parcel or in more than one parcel and Mortgagee is specifically empowered (without being required to do so, and in its sole and absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the Mortgaged Property to be held.

(c) Subject to mandatory provisions of applicable law, any sale shall operate to divest all of the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Mortgagor in and to the Mortgaged Property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor and any and all Persons claiming such Mortgaged Property or any interest therein by, through or under the Mortgagor. If Mortgagor or any Person claiming by, through or under the Mortgagor shall transfer or fail to surrender possession of the Mortgaged

Property, after the exercise by Mortgagee of Mortgagee’s remedies or after any sale of the Mortgaged Property pursuant hereto, then the Mortgagor or such Person shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser at such sale, subject to eviction by means of summary process for possession of land, or subject to any other right or remedy available hereunder or under applicable law.

(d) If a sale hereunder shall be commenced by Mortgagee, Mortgagee may at any time before the sale abandon the sale, and may institute suit for the collection of the Obligations or for the foreclosure of this Mortgage; or if Mortgagee should institute a suit for collection of the Obligations or the foreclosure of this Mortgage, Mortgagee may at any time before the entry of final judgment in said suit dismiss the same and sell the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage.

(e) In the event any portion of the Mortgaged Property is subject to the provisions of the UCC, Mortgagee shall have the same authority, rights and obligation with respect to such property as to all other Mortgaged Property or, Mortgagee at its option may proceed directly with respect to the Mortgaged Property subject to the provisions of the UCC. In the event Mortgagee elects to sell that portion of the Mortgaged Property which is subject to the UCC, Mortgagee may elect to sell such property separately subject to the provisions of the UCC, or Mortgagee may sell all Mortgaged Property pursuant to the provisions of this Mortgage relating to sales of real property. Twenty (20) days prior written notice will be deemed commercially reasonable notice for sales held by Mortgagee pursuant to the UCC. Mortgagee may sell real and personal property separately and in any order or lots or coordinate the sales in any manner deemed advisable by Mortgagee. If Mortgagee is proceeding to sell property subject to the UCC, any sale held by Mortgagee may be held in conjunction with or separate from sales held by Mortgagee.

(f) In the event of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and obtain specific performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition and Mortgagee shall have the right to invoke any equitable right or remedy as though other remedies were not provided for in this Mortgage.

17.Proceeds. Except as otherwise provided herein or required under applicable law, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Mortgaged Property hereunder, whether made pursuant to the power of sale hereunder, any judicial proceeding or any judgment or decree of foreclosure or sale or otherwise shall be applied and paid as follows:

(a) First: to pay the payment of all expenses of such sale, including compensation of Mortgagee or such other Person conducting such sale, and the cost of title searches, foreclosure certificates and attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by such Person, together with interest on any such expenses paid by such Person at the Default Rate from the date paid by such Person through the date repaid to such Person;

(b) Second: to the payment of the expenses and other amounts payable under Sections 13 and 16, if any; and

18.Right of Mortgagee to Credit Sale. Upon the occurrence of any sale made under this Mortgage, whether made under the power of sale or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. In lieu of paying cash therefor, Mortgagee may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Obligations or other sums secured by this Mortgage the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale and the cost of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Mortgage. In such event, this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and other Loan Documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby may be presented to the person or persons conducting the sale in order that the amount so used or applied may be credited upon the Obligations as having been paid.

19.Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee as a matter of right but upon advance written notice to Mortgagor, , and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral as security for the Obligations or the interest of Mortgagor therein, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers or other manager of the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Mortgagee in case of entry as provided in this Mortgage, including, without limitation and to the extent permitted by law, the right to enter into leases of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Mortgaged Property unless such receivership is sooner terminated.

20.Extension, Release, etc. (a) Without affecting the lien, charge or priority of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Obligations, Mortgagee may, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any person liable for the Obligations, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of the indebtedness evidenced by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and guaranteed under the Guarantee or any other guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at any time at Mortgagee’s option any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto. If at any time this Mortgage shall secure less than all of the principal amount of the Obligations, it is expressly agreed that any repayments of the principal amount of the Obligations shall not reduce the amount of the lien of this Mortgage until the lien amount shall equal the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding.

(b) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall affect the lien of this Mortgage or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, and such liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired until the Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

(c) If Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this Mortgage, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee at its option to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property. The failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense to any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Obligations or to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage.

(d) Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that ownership of this Mortgage and title to the Mortgaged Property or any estate therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Mortgage shall not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid lien on the Mortgaged Property for the amount secured hereby.

21.Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code. (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a pledge and Security Agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Code”) of the State of [Wisconsin] and Mortgagor hereby grants a security interest (and any proceeds thereof) in equipment and personal property, including goods or items of equipment or personal property which are or are to become fixtures. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under this

Mortgage, then in addition to having any other right or remedy available at law or in equity (and available under the Guarantee), Mortgagee shall have the option of either (i) proceeding under the Code and exercising such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by the Code with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is personal property (including, without limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) treating such property as real property and proceeding with respect to both the real and personal property constituting the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Mortgagee’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply). If Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the Code, then twenty (20) days’ notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses. At Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor shall assemble the personal property and make it available to Mortgagee at a place designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Mortgagee shall be the Mortgagor’s true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, with respect to any and all matters pertaining to the equipment and personal property (and any proceeds thereof) with full power and authority to give instructions with respect to the collection and remittance of payments, to endorse checks, to enforce the rights and remedies of the Mortgagor and to execute on behalf of the Mortgagor and in Mortgagor’s name any instruction, agreement or other writing required therefor. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that a disposition of the personal property in accordance with Mortgagee’s rights and remedies in respect to the Mortgaged Property as heretofore provided is a commercially reasonable disposition thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Mortgaged Property includes [Collateral] (as defined in the Guarantee), the provisions of the Guarantee shall govern with respect to such property.

(b) Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree, to the extent permitted by law, that: (i) all of the goods and items of personal property described within the definition of the word “Equipment” are or are to become fixtures on the Real Estate (other than leased Equipment); (ii) this Mortgage upon recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper office shall constitute a financing statement filed as a “fixture filing” within the meaning of Sections 9-334, 9-501, 9-502 and 9-603 of the Code; (iii) Mortgagor is the record owner of the Real Estate; and (iv) the addresses of Mortgagor and Mortgagee are as set forth on the first page of this Mortgage and the organizational identification number of Mortgagor is [ ].

(c) Mortgagor, upon written request by Mortgagee from time to time, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Mortgagee one or more separate security agreements, in form reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, covering all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and will further execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, any financing statement, affidavit, continuation statement or certificate or other document as Mortgagee may reasonably request in order to perfect, preserve, maintain, continue or extend the security interest under and the priority of this Mortgage and such security instrument. Mortgagor further agrees to pay to Mortgagee within ten (10) days of written demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the preparation, execution, recording, filing and re-filing of any such document and all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements Mortgagee shall reasonably require. If Mortgagor shall fail to furnish any financing or continuation statement within 10 days after written request by Mortgagee, then pursuant to the provisions of the Code, Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee its attorney-in-fact and authorizes Mortgagee, without the signature of Mortgagor, to execute and file any such financing and continuation statements, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; and such power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until all Liens granted pursuant to the Security Documents terminate pursuant to the Loan Documents. The filing of any financing or continuation statements in the records relating to personal property or chattels shall not be construed as in any way impairing the right of Mortgagee to proceed against any personal property encumbered by this Mortgage as real property, as set forth above.

22.Assignment of Rents. Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee the Rents as further security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, and Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents on account of the Obligations. The foregoing assignment and grant is present, absolute and irrevocable and shall continue in effect until all of the Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) have been terminated and the Obligations are paid and performed in full (excluding contingent indemnification obligations or obligations under or in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements), but Mortgagee hereby waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents until the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under this Mortgage; such right of Mortgagor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents may be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default under this Mortgage and Mortgagee or a receiver shall have the absolute, immediate and continuing right to collect and receive the Rents now or hereafter, including during any period of redemption, accruing with respect to the Premises; in the event of such revocation, Mortgagor shall pay over to Mortgagee, or to any

receiver appointed to collect the Rents and any lease security deposits. Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any). Mortgagor shall promptly execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, register and file such additional general assignment of the Leases or specific assignment of any Lease as may be reasonably necessary or required by applicable law from time to time in order to effectuate, complete, perfect, continue or preserve the assignments of the Leases and the Rents hereunder. None of the acceptance hereof, the exercise of the rights and remedies hereunder or any other action on the part of Mortgagee or any Person exercising the rights of Mortgagee hereunder shall be construed to be an assumption by Mortgagee or any such Person of, or to otherwise make Mortgagee or such Person liable or responsible for, any of the obligations of Mortgagor under or with respect to the Leases or for any Rent, security deposit or other amount delivered to Mortgagor, provided that Mortgagee or any such Person exercising the rights of Mortgagee hereunder shall be accountable for any Rents, security deposits or other amounts actually received by Mortgagee or such Person, as the case may be. None of the acceptance hereof, the exercise of the rights and remedies hereunder or any other action on the part of Mortgagee or any Person exercising the rights of Mortgagee hereunder shall be construed to obligate Mortgagee or any such Person to take any action under or with respect to the Leases or with respect to the Premises, to incur any expense or perform or discharge any duty or obligation under or with respect to the Leases or with respect to the Premises, to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Leases or the Premises, to constitute Mortgagee as a mortgagee-in-possession, or to be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any Person in or about the Premises other than to the extent caused by the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of Mortgagee or any Person exercising the rights of Mortgagee hereunder.

23.Trust Funds. If required by applicable law, all lease security deposits of the Real Estate shall be treated as trust funds not to be commingled with any other funds of Mortgagor. Within 10 days after request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee satisfactory evidence of compliance with this subsection, together with a statement of all lease security deposits by lessees and copies of all Leases not previously delivered to Mortgagee, which statement shall be certified by Mortgagor.

24.Additional Rights. The holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property shall have no right to terminate any Lease whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Mortgage nor shall any holder of any subordinate lien join any tenant under any Lease in any action to foreclose the lien or modify, interfere with, disturb or terminate the rights of any tenant under any Lease. By recordation of this Mortgage all subordinate lienholders are subject to and notified of this provision, and any action taken by any such lienholder

contrary to this provision shall be null and void. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security under this Mortgage, apply all or any part of any amounts on deposit with Mortgagee under this Mortgage against all or any part of the Obligations. Any such application shall not be construed to cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any act taken by Mortgagee on account of such Default or Event of Default.

25.Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement to Mortgagor and to Mortgagee as specified therein.

26.No Oral Modification. This Mortgage may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement. Any agreement made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee after the date of this Mortgage relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening or subordinate lien or encumbrance.

27.Partial Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included. Notwithstanding to the contrary anything contained in this Mortgage or in any provisions of the Obligations or Loan Documents, the obligations of Mortgagor and of any other obligor in respect of the Obligations or Loan Documents shall be subject to the limitation that Mortgagee shall not charge, take or receive, nor shall Mortgagor or any other obligor be obligated to pay to Mortgagee, any amounts constituting interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by Mortgagee.

28.Mortgagor’s Waiver of Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor irrevocably waives any right, defense and the benefit of all laws now existing or that may subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) any extension of the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Obligations or the creation or extension of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt, (iii) exemption of the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale under execution or exemption from civil process, (iv) impairment of any right of subrogation or reimbursement, (v) any requirement that at any time any action must be taken against any other Person, any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any other asset of the Mortgagor or any other Person, (vi) any provision barring or limiting the right of the Mortgagee to sell any Mortgaged Property after any other sale of any other Mortgaged Property or any other action

against the Mortgagor or any other Person, (vii) any provision barring or limiting the recovery by the Mortgagee of a deficiency after any sale of the Mortgaged Property, (viii) any other provision of applicable law which might defeat, limit or adversely affect any right or remedy of the Mortgagee or the holders of the Obligations under or with respect to this Mortgage or any other Loan Document as it relates to any Mortgaged Property, or (ix) the right of the Mortgagee to foreclose this Mortgage in its own name on behalf of all the Secured Parties by judicial action as the real party in interest without the necessity of joining any other Secured Party. To the full extent Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Mortgage before exercising any other remedy granted hereunder and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and its successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshalling in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created.

29.Remedies Not Exclusive. Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of the Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any of the other Loan Documents or other agreement between Mortgagee and Mortgagor or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Mortgagee’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee, it being agreed that Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Mortgagee or to which it may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee. In no event shall Mortgagee, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Mortgage (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of Rents to Mortgagee, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property), be deemed a “mortgagee in possession,” and Mortgagee shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in

connection with the exercise of such remedies, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Mortgagee, any other Indemnitee, or any contractor of Mortgagee or any Indemnitee. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising any remedy or right hereunder, under any other Loan Document or under applicable law shall be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document. The acceptance by Mortgagee or the Secured Parties of any payment less than the amount of the Obligations in question shall be deemed to be an acceptance on account only and shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect thereto. If Mortgagee has proceeded to enforce any remedy or right hereunder or with respect hereto by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, it may compromise, discontinue or abandon such proceeding for any reason without notice to Mortgagor or any other Person, other than as may be required under the Credit Agreement or the Guarantee, and, in the event that any such proceeding shall be discontinued, abandoned or determined adversely for any reason, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall retain and be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Mortgaged Property, subject to the Lien hereof except to the extent any such adverse determination specifically provides to the contrary.

30.Multiple Security. If (a) the Premises shall consist of one or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the same county, or (b) in addition to this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall now or hereafter hold one or more additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust or other security (directly or indirectly) for the Obligations upon other property in the State in which the Premises are located (whether or not such property is owned by Mortgagor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single foreclosure action all foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the Obligations (including the Mortgaged Property), which action may be brought or consolidated in the courts of any county in which any of such collateral is located. Mortgagor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated foreclosure action is a specific inducement to Mortgagee to extend the Loans, and Mortgagor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single action and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds offorum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Mortgagor further agrees that if Mortgagee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other proceedings against a portion of the Mortgaged Property or against any collateral other than the Mortgaged Property, which collateral directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, or if Mortgagee shall have obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral, then, whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were obtained in or outside the State in which the Premises are located, Mortgagee may commence or continue foreclosure proceedings and exercise its

other remedies granted in this Mortgage against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagor waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure of this Mortgage or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Mortgage or such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation of proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage nor the exercise of any other rights hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee in any such proceedings shall prejudice, limit or preclude Mortgagee’s right to commence or continue one or more foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other collateral (either in or outside the State in which the Premises are located) which directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, and Mortgagor expressly waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in such other proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such proceedings based upon any action or judgment connected to this Mortgage, and Mortgagor also waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either such other proceedings or any action under this Mortgage on such basis. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, cause the sale of all collateral which is the subject of a single foreclosure action at either a single sale or at multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take such other measures as are appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and administer all collateral securing the Obligations (directly or indirectly) in the most economical and least time-consuming manner.

31.Successors and Assigns. All covenants of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Mortgagee at any time if in its sole discretion it deems such waiver advisable. All such covenants of Mortgagor shall run with the land and bind Mortgagor, the successors and assigns of Mortgagor (and each of them) with respect to the Mortgaged Property and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the Mortgaged Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee, its successors and assigns. The word “Mortgagor” shall be construed as if it read “Mortgagors” whenever the sense of this Mortgage so requires and if there shall be more than one Mortgagor, the obligations of the Mortgagors shall be joint and several.

32.No Waivers, etc. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and

provisions of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and

provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by Mortgagor. Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the security held for the obligations secured by this Mortgage without, as to the remainder of the security, in anywise impairing or affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such lien over any subordinate lien.

33.GOVERNING LAW, ETC. THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PREMISES IS LOCATED, EXCEPT THAT MORTGAGOR EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BY THEIR RESPECTIVE TERMS THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE GUARANTEE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAW, AND FOR PURPOSES OF CONSISTENCY, MORTGAGOR AGREES THAT IN ANY IN PERSONAM PROCEEDING RELATED TO THIS MORTGAGE THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS MORTGAGE SHALL ALSO BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK GOVERNING CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAW.

34.Certain Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Mortgage shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and the word “Mortgagor” shall mean “each Mortgagor or any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein,” the word “Mortgagee” shall mean “Mortgagee or any successor administrative agent for the Lenders,” the word “Guarantee” shall mean “the Guarantee, any Loan Document to which Mortgagor is a party or any other evidence of indebtedness secured by this Mortgage,” the word “person” shall include any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority, or other entity, and the words “Mortgaged Property” shall include any portion of the Mortgaged Property or interest therein. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa.
