(b) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Revolving Credit Loans (other than Mandatory Borrowings or borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings), it shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, (i) prior to 12:00 noon (New York City Time) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of each Borrowing of Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, prior written notice of each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Each such Borrowing Notice, except as otherwise expressly provided inSection 2.10, shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans and, if Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Revolving Credit Lender written notice of each proposed Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Borrowing Notice.

(c) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swing Line Loans hereunder, it shall give the Swing Line Lender telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing with a copy to the Administrative Agent of each Borrowing of Swing Line Loans prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing.

(d) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified inSection 2.1(d), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swing Line Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such Section.

(e) Borrowings to reimburse Unpaid Drawings shall be made upon the notice specified inSection 3.4(a).

(f) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any notice it shall give hereunder by telephone (which such obligation is absolute), the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.

2.4Disbursement of Funds.

(a) No later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Borrowing Notice (including Mandatory Borrowings), each Lender shall make available its pro rata portion, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below;provided, that on the Effective Date, such funds may be made available at such earlier time as may be agreed among the Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent for the purpose of consummating the Transactions;provided, further that all Swing Line Loans shall be made available to the Borrower in the full amount thereof by the Swing Line Lender no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) or, in the event the applicable written notice requesting such Swing Line Loan is received by the Swing Line Lender after 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) but prior to 1:30 p.m. (New York City time), 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date requested.

(b) Each Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any Borrowing for its applicable Commitments, and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and the Administrative Agent will (except in the case of Mandatory Borrowings and Borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings) make available to the Borrower, by depositing to an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the aggregate of the amounts so made available. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date (or, in the case of a request for a same-day Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to the time the relevant Borrowing Notice is received) of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available such amount to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rateper annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) if paid by the

Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance withSection 2.8, for the respective Loans.

(c) Nothing in thisSection 2.4shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

(e) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant toSection 12.6(b)(iv), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, whether such Loan is an Tranche B-1 Term Loan, Tranche B-2 Term Loan, New Term Loan, Extended Term Loan, Revolving Credit Loan, Extended Revolving Credit Loan, New Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan, as applicable, the Type of each Loan made, and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(f) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses (d) and (e) of thisSection 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded;provided, that in the event of inconsistency between the Register and any such account or subaccount, the Register shall govern;provided,further, that the failure of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender to maintain such account, such Register or subaccount, as applicable, 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.

(g) The Borrower agrees that, upon request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Tranche B-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-2 Term Loans, New Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans, or Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms ofExhibit G-1,G-2,G-3,G-4, orG-5 respectively (a “Tranche B-1 Term Loan Note”, a “Tranche B-2 Term Loan Note,” a “New Term Loan Note”, a “Revolving Credit Note”, or a “Swing Line Note”, respectively, and each such note, a “Note”), with appropriate insertions as to the date and principal amount.

2.6Conversions and Continuations.

(a) Subject to the penultimate sentence of this clause (a), (x) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all or a portion equal to at least $2,500,000 of the outstanding principal amount of Loans of one Type into a Borrowing of another Type and (y) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any Eurodollar Loans as Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period; provided that (i) no partial conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (ii) Base Rate Loans may not be converted into Eurodollar Loans if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, (iii) Eurodollar Loans may not be continued as Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation and (iv) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to thisSection 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided inSection 2.2. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least (i) three Business Days’ prior written notice, in the case of a continuation of or conversion to Eurodollar Loans or (ii) one Business Day’s prior written notice in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”, to be substantially in the form ofExhibit F) specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted or continued into and, if such Loans are to be converted into or continued as Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.

(b) If any Default or Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any Eurodollar Loans and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into Base Rate Loans. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in clause (a), the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.7Pro Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing of Tranche B-1 Term Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitments. Each Borrowing of Tranche B-2 Term Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Tranche B-2 Term Loan Commitments. Each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. Each Borrowing of New Term Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable New Term Loan Commitments. It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender severally but not jointly shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b) other than as expressly provided herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation under any Loan Document.

2.8Interest.

(a) The unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, in each case, in effect from time to time.

(b) The unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin plus the relevant Eurodollar Rates.

(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon or any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) that is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2.00% or (y) in the case of any other overdue amount, including overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate described inSection 2.8(a) plus 2.00% from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d) Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable in the same currency in which the Loan is denominated; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same date on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Except as provided below, interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) in respect of each Loan, (A) on any prepayment in respect of Eurodollar Loans, (B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (C) after such maturity, on demand.

(e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance withSection 5.5.

(f) The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.9Interest Periods.

At the time the Borrower gives a Borrowing Notice or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans in accordance withSection 2.6(a), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six or (if available to all the Lenders making such Eurodollar Loans as determined by such Lenders in good faith based on prevailing market conditions) a twelve month or shorter period.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

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

(b) if any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;

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

(d) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any Interest Period in respect of any Eurodollar Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond the Maturity Date of such Loan.

2.10Alternate Rate of Interest, Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc..

(a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans:

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

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

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

(b) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer;

(ii) impose on any Lender, any Letter of Credit Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such

other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(d) A certificate of a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation;provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor;providedfurther that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

2.11Compensation.

If (a) any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant toSection 2.5,2.6,2.10,5.1,5.2 or12.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant toSection 10 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Borrowing Notice or a failure to satisfy borrowing conditions, (c) any Base Rate Loan is not

converted into a Eurodollar Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any Eurodollar Loan is not continued as a Eurodollar Loan, as the case may be, as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of principal of any Eurodollar Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant toSection 5.1 or5.2, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Loan.

2.12Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation ofSection 2.10(b) or5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in thisSection 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided inSection 2.10 or5.4.

2.13Incremental Facilities.

(a) The Borrower may by written notice to Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more (x) additional tranches of term loans (the commitments thereto, the “New Term Loan Commitments”) and/or (y) increases in Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class (the “New Revolving Credit Commitments” and, together with the New Term Loan Commitments, the “New Loan Commitments”). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent). The Borrower may approach any Lender or any Person (other than a natural person) to provide all or a portion of the New Loan Commitments; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Loan Commitment. In each case, such New Loan Commitments shall become effective as of the applicable Increased Amount Date;provided, that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments, as applicable, (ii) all representations and warranties made by any Loan Party contained herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Credit Event (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date), (iii) after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments, the Borrower will be in compliance on a pro forma basis

with the covenant levels required by each of the Consolidated Senior Secured Debt Ratio and the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio for such fiscal quarter less 0.25 (determined as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are required to be delivered underSection 8.1(a) or8.1(b) as if such New Loan Commitments had been funded and the application of such proceeds had occurred on such last day), (iv) the Borrower shall have received all approvals from all applicable Governmental Authorities necessary or, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, advisable in connection with such New Loan Commitment, (v) the New Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower and Administrative Agent, each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth inSection 5.4(e), (vi) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant toSection 2.11 in connection with the New Loan Commitments, as applicable, (vii) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered title and extended coverage insurance for each real property Collateral covering the amount of such New Loan Commitment containing such endorsements and affirmative coverage as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (viii) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Any New Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate series (a “Series”) of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement, except that any New Term Loans may be established as an increase to any existing Class of Term Loans as long as such New Term Loans have the same terms as the Term Loans of the existing Class.

(b) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Credit Commitments are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the Lenders with Commitments of the applicable Existing Revolving Credit Class shall assign to each Lender with a New Revolving Credit Commitment (each, a “New Revolving Loan Lender”) and each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders with Commitments of such Class, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Loans outstanding under such Class of Commitments on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the Loans of such Class will be held by existing Lenders of such Class and New Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments of such Class after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Credit Commitments to the Commitments of such Class, (ii) each New Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Loan of the applicable Existing Revolving Credit Class, (iii) each New Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Credit Commitment and all matters relating thereto and (iv) the terms of such New Revolving Credit Commitments (other than upfront fees) shall be identical to the existing Class;provided, that the fees and Applicable Margin applicable to the existing Class of Commitments may be increased at the option of the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such New Revolving Credit Commitments.

(c) On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Loan Commitments are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Lender with such New Term Loan Commitment (each, a “New Term Loan Lender”) shall make a Loan to the Borrower (a “New Term Loan”) in an amount equal to such New Term Loan Commitment of such New Term Loan Lender, and (ii) each such New Term Loan Lender shall

become a Lender hereunder with respect to such New Term Loan Commitment and the New Term Loans made pursuant thereto.

(d) The terms and provisions of the New Term Loans, New Revolving Loans and New Term Loan Commitments shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable Joinder Agreement, identical to one or more Classes of the existing Tranche B-2 Term Loans or the then-existing Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable;provided, that (i)(A) the applicable New Term Loan Maturity Date of each Series shall be no earlier than the Tranche B-2 Term Loan Maturity Date and mandatory prepayment and other payment rights (other than scheduled amortization) of the New Term Loans and the existing Tranche B-2 Term Loans shall be identical or (B) the applicable New Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be no earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; (ii) the rate of interest and the amortization schedule applicable to the New Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable New Term Loan Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Joinder Agreement;provided that (x) the weighted average life to maturity of any New Term Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans and (y) if the Applicable Margin in respect of such New Term Loans exceeds the Applicable Margin in respect of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans by more than 0.25%, the Applicable Margin in respect of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Margin in respect of the New Term Loans minus 0.25%;provided,further, that in determining the Applicable Margin, (x) original issue discount or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute a like amount of original issue discount) paid by the Borrower to the New Term Loan Lenders under the New Term Loans and the existing Tranche B-2 Term Loans in the initial primary syndication thereof shall be included and equated to interest rate (with original issue discount being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity, but for avoidance of doubt not including structuring, arrangement and other fees not shared with lenders generally or ticking fees) and (y) any amendments to the Applicable Margin in respect of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans that become effective subsequent to the Effective Date but prior to the time of such New Term Loans shall also be included in such calculations;provided,further, that if the Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate in respect of the New Term Loans includes a floor greater than the Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate floor applicable to the Tranche B-2 Term Loans, such excess amount shall be equated to interest margin for purposes of determining any increase to the Applicable Margin in respect of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans; (iii) the rate of interest applicable to the New Revolving Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable New Revolving Loan Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Joinder Agreement;provided that if the Applicable Margin in respect of such New Revolving Loans exceeds the Applicable Margin in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Joinder Agreement by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin in respect of the then-existing Revolving Credit Loans shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Margin in respect of the New Revolving Loans minus 0.50%;provided,further, that in determining the Applicable Margin, (x) upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute a like amount of original issue discount) paid by the Borrower to the New Revolving Loan Lenders under the New Revolving Loans and the then-existing Revolving Credit Loans in the initial primary syndication thereof shall be included and equated to interest rate (with original issue discount being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity, but for avoidance of doubt not including structuring, arrangement and other fees not shared with lenders generally or ticking fees) and (y) any amendments to the Applicable Margin in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans that become

effective subsequent to the Effective Date but prior to the time of such New Revolving Loans shall also be included in such calculations;provided,further, that if the Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate in respect of the New Revolving Loans includes a floor greater than the Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate floor applicable to the then-existing Revolving Credit Loans, such excess amount shall be equated to interest margin for purposes of determining any increase to the Applicable Margin in respect of the then-existing Revolving Credit Loans, and (iii) all other terms applicable to the New Term Loans or New Revolving Loans of any Series that differ from the existing Tranche B-2 Term Loans and the then-existing Revolving Credit Loans shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (as evidenced by its execution of the applicable Joinder Agreement). Except to the extent permitted above, the terms and provisions of the New Revolving Loans and New Revolving Credit Commitments shall be identical to the Revolving Credit Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class.

(e) Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such technical 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 provision of thisSection 2.13.

(f) (i) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with thisSection 2.13(f). In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Class, which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall be identical to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class from which they are to be converted, except (x) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected inSection 2.5(b) or in the Joinder Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were converted, in each case as more particularly set forth in paragraph (iv) of thisSection 2.13(f) below) and (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in thisSection 2.13 or otherwise, no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were converted is repaid in full except in accordance with the last sentence ofSection 5.1(a). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension

Series shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were converted.

(ii) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, each existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Credit Commitment” and any related revolving credit loans thereunder, “Existing Revolving Credit Loans”; each Existing Revolving Credit Commitment and related Existing Revolving Credit Loans together being referred to as an “Existing Revolving Credit Class”), be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Loans related to such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” and any related Loans, “Extended Revolving Credit Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with thisSection 2.13(f). In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class of Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Revolving Credit Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment”), except (x) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and (z) the revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the commitment fee rate for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment;provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in thisSection 2.13(f) or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to any Existing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and (2) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Credit Loans related to such Commitments set forth inSection 12.6. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Revolving Credit Loans or Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of any Existing Revolving Credit Class converted into Extended Revolving Credit Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Revolving Credit Extension Request, any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and from any other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so established on such date).

(iii) The Borrower shall provide each Extension Request at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as Administrative Agent may agree) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Class or Existing Classes are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, New Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, New Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, New Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, New Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments included in each such Extension Election. Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Revolving Credit Commitments into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be treated identically to all other Original Revolving Credit Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender in respect of Swing Line Loans underSection 2.1(c) and Letters of Credit underSection 3, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the Swing Line Maturity Date and/or the Revolving Letter of Credit Maturity Date may be extended and the related obligations to make Swing Line Loans and issue Revolving Letters of Credit may be continued so long as the Swing Line Lender and/or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, have consented to such extensions in their sole discretion (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).

(iv) Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of thisSection 2.13(f)(iv) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth inSection 12.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, established thereby) executed by the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. No Extension Amendment shall provide for any new Class of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $50,000,000. In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted bySection 2.13(f)(i), each Extension Amendment (x) shall amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant toSection 2.5(b) or the applicable Joinder Agreement with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which the Extended Term Loans were converted to reduce each scheduled Repayment Amount for the Existing Term Loan Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing

Term Loan Class is to be converted pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any Repayment Amount payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof) and (y) may, but shall not be required to, impose additional requirements (not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement in effect at such time) with respect to the final maturity and weighted average life to maturity of New Term Loans incurred following the date of such Extension Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in thisSection 2.13(f) and without limiting the generality or applicability ofSection 12.1 to any Section 2.13 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.13 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents;provided that such Section 2.13 Additional Amendments are within the requirements ofSection 2.13(f)(i) and do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.13 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to (1) consents applicable to holders of New Term Loans and New Revolving Credit Commitments provided for in any Joinder Agreement and (2) consents applicable to holders of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Credit Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.13 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance withSection 12.1.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Class is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clauses (i) and/or (ii) above (an “Extension Date”), (I) in the case of the existing Term Loans of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Term Loans (together with any other Extended Term Loans so established on such date) and (II) in the case of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and from any other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so established on such date) and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Specified Revolving Credit Commitments, such Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) and Existing Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.

2.14Defaulting Lenders.

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

(a) the Commitment Fee shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Lender so long as it is a Defaulting Lender.

(b) if any Swing Line Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and the conditions precedent set forth inSection 7.2 have been satisfied, then:

(i) all or any part of such Swing Line Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages but only to the extent (x) such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed such non Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth inSection 3.8 for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay the Letter of Credit Fee with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure so long as it is Cash Collateralized;

(iv) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is reallocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, then the Letter of Credit Fee with respect to such portion shall be allocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages; or

(v) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to thisSection 2.14(b), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender hereunder, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the Letter of Credit Issuer until such Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated).

(c) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure

will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateralized in accordance withSection 2.14(b), and participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(d) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant toSection 12.8(a) but excludingSection 12.7) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Letter of Credit Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;provided, that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth inSection 7 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage and such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under thisSection 2.14 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer may have against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted or required by thisSection 2.14 shall be permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata sharing provisions or otherwise.

(c) Upon at least two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (which the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment in whole or in part,provided that, after giving effect to such termination or reduction, the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment.

3.2Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit.

Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

(c) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent in writing that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower and, if not, the Letter of Credit Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained inSections 6 and7 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

(d) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”);provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a

day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Letter of Credit Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Facility Maturity Date;provided,however, that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (i) the Letter of Credit Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (b) ofSection 3.1 or otherwise), or (ii) it has received written notice on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Credit Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified inSections 6 and7 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such extension.

(e) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of,Section 3.1(b).

3.3Letter of Credit Participations.

(a) Immediately upon the issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender (each such Revolving Credit Lender, in its capacity under thisSection 3.3, an “L/C Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in each Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto;provided that the Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Participants as provided inSection 4.1(b) and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Fronting Fees.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation relative to the L/C Participants other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

(c) In the event that the Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount in full to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant toSection 3.4(a), the Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each L/C Participant of such failure, and each L/C Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in immediately available funds;provided,however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any such Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If the Letter of Credit Issuer so notifies, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, any L/C Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such L/C Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day in immediately available funds. If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing. The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever the Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment in respect of an unpaid reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each L/C Participant that has paid its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such reimbursement obligation, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such L/C Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants) of the amount so paid in respect of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective L/C Participations at the Overnight Rate.

(e) The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including under any of the following circumstances:

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

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

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

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

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

provided,however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any such Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer, as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

3.4Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. (a) The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment in with respect to any drawing under any Letter of Credit. Any such reimbursement shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for any payment or disbursement made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) no later than the date that is one Business Day after the date on which the Borrower receives notice of such payment or disbursement (the “Reimbursement Date”), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date, from the Reimbursement Date to the date the Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate as in effect from time to time,provided that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the relevant Letter of

Credit Issuer prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date that the Borrower intends to reimburse the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Borrowing Notice requesting that, with respect to Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Lenders make Revolving Credit Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) on the Reimbursement Date in the amount, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such drawing and the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each L/C Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrower in the manner deemed to have been requested in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Reimbursement Date by making the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent. Such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made without regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount. The Administrative Agent shall use the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans solely for purpose of reimbursing the Letter of Credit Issuer for the related Unpaid Drawing. In the event that the Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the L/C Facility Maturity Date, the full amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an Unpaid Drawing subject to the provisions of thisSection 3.4 except that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall hold the proceeds received from the L/C Participants as contemplated above as Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit to reimburse any Drawing under such Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first, to reimburse itself for any Drawings made in respect of such Letter of Credit following the L/C Facility Maturity Date, second, to the extent such Letter of Credit expires or is returned undrawn while any such Cash Collateral remains, to the repayment of obligations in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans that have not been paid at such time and third, to the Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in thisSection 3.4(a) shall affect the Borrower’s obligation to repay all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower under thisSection 3.4 to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including in its capacity as an L/C Participant), including any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder, subject to the proviso inSection 3.7 below, with such court ruling provided in an independent proceeding following the Borrower’s payment obligations to the Letter of Credit Issuer.

3.5[Reserved]

3.6New or Successor Letter of Credit Issuer. (a) The Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as a Letter of Credit Issuer upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. The Borrower may (i) replace a Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer and/or (ii) add Letter of Credit Issuers at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent. If the Letter of Credit Issuer shall resign or be replaced, or if the Borrower shall decide to add a new Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), another successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, and the term “Letter of Credit Issuer” shall mean such successor or such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment. At the time such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay to the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant toSections 4.1(d) and4.1(e). The acceptance of any appointment as a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder whether as a successor issuer or new issuer of Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become a “Letter of Credit Issuer” hereunder. After the resignation or replacement of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. In connection with any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case of any such resignation, only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have been appointed), either (i) the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to have any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrower shall cause the successor issuer of Letters of Credit, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer, to issue “back-stop” Letters of Credit naming the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, which new Letters of Credit shall be denominated in the same currency as, and shall have a face amount equal to, the Letters of Credit being back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on the corresponding back-stopped Letters of Credit. After any resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer’s resignation or replacement as Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this Agreement relating to a Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A) while it was a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (B) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b) To the extent that there are, at the time of any resignation or replacement as set forth in clause (a) above, any outstanding Letters of Credit, nothing herein shall be deemed to impact or impair any rights and obligations of any of the parties hereto with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, any obligations related to the payment of Fees or the reimbursement or funding of amounts drawn), except that the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have the obligations regarding outstanding Letters of Credit described in clause (a) above.

3.7Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit;provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described inSection 3.3(e);provided that anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in each case as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

3.8Cash Collateral.

(a) Upon the request of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders if, as of the L/C Facility Maturity Date, there are any Letters of Credit Outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Letters of Credit Outstanding.

(b) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders may require that the L/C Obligations be Cash Collateralized.

(c) The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and the L/C Participants, a security interest in all cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, in each case that constitute collateral for the L/C Obligations, and all proceeds of the foregoing. Such Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent.

3.9Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

3.10Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

Each Commitment Fee shall be payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (for the three-month period (or portion thereof) ended on such day for which no payment has been received) and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (for the period ended on such date for which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (x) above), and shall be computed for each day during such period at a rate per annum (calculated in accordance withSection 5.5) equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day on the Available Commitment in effect on such day.

Except as provided below, such Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (y) on the date upon which the Total Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall have been reduced to zero.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Letter of Credit Issuer a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Fronting Fee”), for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the termination date of such Letter of Credit, computed at the rate for each day equal to the greater of (i) $125 per quarter or (ii) 0.125% per annum on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit (or at such other rate per annum as agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Letter of Credit Issuer). Such Fronting Fees shall be due and payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (y) on the date upon which the Total Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall have been reduced to zero.

(e) The Borrower agrees to pay directly to the Letter of Credit Issuer upon each issuance or renewal of, drawing under, and/or amendment of, a Letter of Credit issued by it such amount as the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower shall have agreed upon for issuances or renewals of, drawings under or amendments of, letters of credit issued by it.

4.2Voluntary Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. Upon at least five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments in whole or in part,provided that (a) any such reduction shall apply proportionately and permanently to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each of the Lenders of any applicable Class, except that (i) notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the establishment on any date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant toSection 2.13(f), the Revolving Credit Commitments of any one or more Lenders providing any such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such date shall be reduced in an amount equal to (or at the option of the Borrower, by an amount greater than) the amount of Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender so extended on such date (provided that (x) after giving effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Revolving Credit Loans made on such date, the Revolving Credit Exposure of any such Lender does not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment thereof and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, any such repayment of Revolving Credit Loans contemplated by the preceding clause shall be

made in compliance with the requirements ofSection 5.3(a) with respect to the ratable allocation of payments hereunder, with such allocation being determined after giving effect to any conversion pursuant toSection 2.13(f) of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Loans pursuant toSection 2.13(f) prior to any reduction being made to the Revolving Credit Commitment of any other Lender) and (ii) the Borrower may at its election permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender to $0 without affecting the Revolving Credit Commitments of any other Lender, (b) any partial reduction pursuant to thisSection 4.2 shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000 and (c) after giving effect to such termination or reduction and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the date thereof in accordance with this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures in respect of any Class shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class.

SECTION 5.

PAYMENTS

5.1Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans, as applicable, in each case, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (a) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office written notice of its intent to make such prepayment, the amount of such prepayment and in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice shall be given by the Borrower no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) (i) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, three Business Days prior to, (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Line Loans), one Business Day prior to or (iii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, on the date of such prepayment and shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be; (b) each partial prepayment of (i) Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof in excess thereof and (ii) Swing Line Loans shall be in a minimum

amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof,provided that no partial prepayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Eurodollar Loans and (c) in the case of any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to thisSection 5.1 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by any applicable Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required pursuant toSection 2.11. Each prepayment in respect of any Term Loans pursuant to thisSection 5.1 shall be (a) applied to the Class or Classes of Term Loans as the Borrower may specify and (b) applied to reduce Term Loan Repayment Amounts, any New Term Loan Repayment Amounts, and, subject toSection 2.13(f), Extended Term Loan Repayment Amounts, as the case may be, in each case, in such order as the Borrower may specify. At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to thisSection 5.1, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Term Loan or Revolving Credit Loan of a Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not repay Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series unless such prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata (or greater) repayment of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were converted (or such Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class have otherwise been repaid in full).

5.2Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing, upon any sale, issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted pursuant toSection 9.2) by the Borrower, then, without prejudice to any Event of Default that may occur by reason of such sale, issuance or incurrence, upon receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds from such sale, issuance or incurrence, the Term Loans shall be prepaid, and/or the Total Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds, as set forth inSection 5.2(f).

(b) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing, on any date the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale other than the Required Asset Sales, the Term Loans shall be prepaid, and/or the Total Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds, which prepayments and reductions shall be applied as set forth inSection 5.2(f);provided, that with respect to any Asset Sale other than the Required Asset Sales:

(ii) to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are from an Asset Sale of Collateral, the assets in which such Net Cash Proceeds are reinvested must also be Collateral; and

(iii) if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds are not reinvested in assets in accordance with the applicable Reinvestment Notice (and in the case of Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale of Collateral, in compliance with clause (ii) above) on or prior to the applicable Reinvestment Prepayment Date, such remaining portion shall be applied on the applicable Reinvestment Prepayment Date to prepay Term Loans and/or to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments, all in accordance withSection 5.2(f).

(c) On any date the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the Required Asset Sales, the Term Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds, which prepayments shall be applied to the Term Loans as directed by the Borrower.

(i) if (x) no Default or Event of Default would exist or arise therefrom and (y) not later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of the receipt by the Borrower of the Net Cash Proceeds from any Recovery Event, Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a Reinvestment Notice stating the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds which is intended to be used to acquire assets useful in the business of the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary prior to the Reinvestment Prepayment Date with respect to such Reinvestment Notice, then the amount set forth in such Reinvestment Notice as intended to be reinvested shall not be required to be applied as set forth in thisSection 5.2(c);

(ii) to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are from a Recovery Event with respect to Collateral, the assets in which such Net Cash Proceeds are reinvested must also be Collateral; and

(iii) if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds are not reinvested in assets in accordance with the applicable Reinvestment Notice (and in the case of Net Cash Proceeds from a Recovery Event with respect to Collateral, in compliance with clause (ii) above) on or prior to the applicable Reinvestment Prepayment Date, such remaining portion shall be applied on the applicable Reinvestment Prepayment Date to prepay Term Loans and/or to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments, all in accordance withSection 5.2(f);provided, that if any portion has not been used prior to the applicable Reinvestment Prepayment Date and Borrower is diligently pursuing the reinvestment of such amount, then such application of the remaining portion shall not be required so long as such reinvestment is being diligently pursued.

(e) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, commencing with fiscal year 2013, if there shall be Excess Cash Flow, then, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, the Term Loans shall be prepaid and/or the Revolving Loans shall be prepaid (without any reduction in the Total Revolving Credit Commitments), by an amount equal to 50% of such Excess Cash Flow, as set forth inSection 5.2(f). Each such prepayment and commitment reduction 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 inSection 8.1(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.

(g) The Borrower shall provide each of the Term Loan Lenders with five (5) Business Days prior written notice of each such prepayment substantially in the form ofExhibit I (each, a “Prepayment Notice”), and any such Term Loan Lender, at its option, may elect, so long as there are any Term Loans outstanding, not to accept its ratable portion of such prepayment in which event the provisions of the next sentence shall apply. Any Term Loan Lender declining such prepayment (each such Lender being a “Declining Term Loan Lender” and the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment being the “Declined Term Amount”) shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form provided in the Prepayment Notice, by 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such prepayment would otherwise be made, and then the Declined Term Amount for all Declining Term Loan Lenders may be retained by the Borrower;provided, that if part or all of a Declined Term Amount consists of proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Collateral (“Collateral Proceeds”), the portion of any Declined Term Amount that consists of Collateral Proceeds shall be paid to all Lenders that are not Declining Term Loan Lenders (the “Accepting Term Loan Lenders,” and each such Accepting Term Loan Lender being an “Accepting Term Loan Lender”) on a pro rata basis based upon the total amount outstanding (including all accrued but unpaid interest) then owed by Borrower to each such Accepting Term Loan Lender along with any prepayment amount to be paid pursuant to thisSection 5.2;provided,further, that in the event that the Collateral Proceeds exceed the total amount owed to

Accepting Term Loan Lenders following mandatory prepayments under thisSection 5.2 (other than the Collateral Proceeds), such amount shall be returned to the Borrower.

5.3Method and Place of Payment. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower in Dollars, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto (or, in the case of the Swing Line Loans, to the Swing Line Lender) or the Letter of Credit Issuer entitled thereto, as the case may be, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), in each case, on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice to the Borrower (or, in the case of the Swing Line Loans, at such office as the Swing Line Lender shall specify for such purpose by notice to the Borrower), it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) or, otherwise, on the next Business Day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.

(b) Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) may be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (or, in the case of the Swing Line Loans, at the Swing Line Lender’s sole discretion). Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

5.4Net Payments. (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable laws require any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such laws as reasonably determined by such withholding agent.

(ii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such withholding agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are reasonably determined by such withholding agent to be required by applicable law, (B) such withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or deductions have been made (including withholding or

deductions on account of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under thisSection 5.4) the applicable Recipient, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(c)Tax Indemnifications. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Loan Parties shall, and do hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under thisSection 5.4) payable by such Recipient, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Evidence of Payments. After any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority as provided in thisSection 5.4, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, (C) whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements, and (D) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. Any documentation and information required to be delivered by a Lender pursuant to thisSection 5.4(e) (including any specific documentation set forth in subsection (ii) below) shall be delivered by such Lender (i) on or prior to the Effective Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before any date on which such documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, (iii) after the occurrence of any change in the Lender’s circumstances

requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so and (iv) each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent if such Lender is no longer legally eligible to provide any documentation previously provided. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.4(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and Section 5.4(f) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B) each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

(2) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor form thereto);

(3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit J (a “Non-Bank Certificate”), to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no interest payments earned by the Non-U.S. Lender are effectively connected income and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor thereto);

(4) to the extent a Lender is not a beneficial owner (e.g., where such Lender has sold a participation), IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto) and all required supporting documentation (including, where one or more of the underlying beneficial owner(s) is claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption, a Non-Bank Certificate of such beneficial owner(s) (provided that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender, the Non-Bank Certificate(s) may be provided by the Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of the beneficial owner(s)); or

(5) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(f)FATCA Documentation. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Requirements of Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of 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 has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of thisSection 5.4(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable) shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund);provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax

position than the it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of thisSection 5.4, the term “Lender” includes any Letter of Credit Issuer and the Swing Line Lender.

5.5Computations of Interest and Fees.

(a) Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, interest on Eurodollar Loans and Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest on Base Rate Loans in respect of which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the Administrative Agent’s Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

(b) Fees and the average daily Stated Amount of Letters of Credit shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.

5.6Limit on Rate of Interest.

(a)No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Obligations in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

(b)Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Borrower is not obligated to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a result ofSection 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

(c)Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender underSection 2.8;provided that to the extent lawful, the interest or other amounts that would have been payable but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the maximum rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower.

11.3Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any participant for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Borrower or any Guarantor 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 such Agent 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 the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Security Documents, or for any failure of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

138

believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, 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;provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.

11.5Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative 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, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders,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 except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as applicable).

11.6Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that the Administrative Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Subsidiary, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative 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 Borrower,

139

Guarantor and any other Subsidiary and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative 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 Borrower, any Guarantor and any other Subsidiary. 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, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Subsidiary that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

11.7Indemnification. The Lenders agree to severally indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (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 their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect 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 (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an 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 the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing,provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction;provided,further, that no action taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of thisSection 11.7. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans), thisSection 11.7 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such

140

expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower,provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished;provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof; andprovided,further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in thisSection 11.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

11.8Agents in Their Individual Capacities. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Guarantor as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made 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.

11.9Successor Agents and Successor Swing Line Lender.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Default underSection 10.1 or10.5 is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above;provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as

141

may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to such Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of thisSection 11 (includingSection 11.7) andSection 12.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent.

Any resignation by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer and its Affiliates’ resignation as Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

11.10Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any applicable Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Loan Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under thisSection 11.10. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of thisSection 11.10, the term “Lender” includes any Letter of Credit Issuer and the Swing Line Lender.

11.11Agents Under Security Documents and Subsidiary Guaranty. Each Lender Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lender

142

Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Lender Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents. Subject toSection 12.1, without further written consent or authorization from any Lender Party, the Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (a) in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent underSection 12.1) have otherwise consented, (i) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty, (b) in its discretion, subordinate any Lien on any item of Collateral that is subject to a Permitted Lien (that requires such subordination) or (c) upon request of the Borrower, to execute and deliver subordination and non-disturbance agreements whereby the Administrative Agent agrees not to disturb the rights of a counterparty to a Hotel Agreement absent default by such party thereunder, and such party agrees that its rights under such Hotel Agreement shall be subordinate to the Liens and security interests of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

The Administrative Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts payable by the Borrower under thisSection 11.11, irrespective of any discharge of the Borrower’s obligations to pay those amounts to the other Lenders resulting from failure by them to take appropriate steps in insolvency proceedings affecting the Borrower to preserve their entitlement to be paid those amounts.

Any amount due and payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent under thisSection 11.11 shall be decreased to the extent that the other Lenders have received (and are able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under the other provisions of the Loan Documents and any amount due and payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent under those provisions shall be decreased to the extent that the Administrative Agent has received (and is able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under thisSection 11.11.

11.12Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Agents and each Lender Party hereby agree that (i) no Lender Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lender Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lender Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.

143

11.13Treasury Management Agreements and Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Security Document, no Treasury Management Bank or Qualified Counterparty that obtains the guarantees hereunder 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 thisSection 11 to the contrary, no Agent shall be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Treasury Management Agreements and Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Treasury Management Bank or Qualified Counterparty, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, only the Required Revolving Credit Lenders shall have the ability to waive, amend, supplement or modify the Financial Condition Covenants.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, such Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions 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, it being understood that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to any credit extensions and related Joinder Agreement(s) or Extension Amendment effectuated without the consent of Lenders in accordance withSection 2.13, 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 Revolving Credit 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 Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans to permit the refinancing of all or any portion of outstanding Term Loans of any Class (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche (“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder;provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term

146

Loans at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans) and (c) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans (when taken as a whole) than those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans of such Class in effect immediately prior to such refinancing;provided that a certificate of an Authorized Officer of Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) prior to the incurrence of such Replacement Term Loans, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material terms and conditions of such Replacement Term Loans or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that Borrower has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the foregoing requirement shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions satisfy the foregoing requirement unless the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower within two Business Days after receipt of such certificate that it disagrees with such determination (including a reasonable description of the basis upon which it disagrees).

The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) in full, upon the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all Obligations hereunder (except for contingent indemnification obligations in respect of which a claim has not yet been made), (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Loan Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with thisSection 12.1), (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guarantee (in accordance with the second following sentence) and (vi) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents. Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall be released from the Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender.

147

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

12.3No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

12.4Survival of Representations and Warranties.

No Person entitled to indemnification under clause (d) of thisSection 12.5 shall be liable for any damages arising from

In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in thisSection 12.5 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or any other Person, whether or not any Person entitled to indemnification under clause (d) of thisSection 12.5 is otherwise a party thereto. 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 so 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.

12.6Successors 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 the Administrative Agent and 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 thisSection 12.6. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of thisSection 12.6) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders and each other Person entitled to indemnification underSection 12.5) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees (other than any natural Persons) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

150

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for (1) an assignment of Term Loans to (X) a Lender, (Y) an Affiliate of a Lender, or (Z) an Approved Fund or (2) an assignment of Loans or Commitments to any other assignee if an Event of Default underSection 10.1 orSection 10.5 has occurred and is continuing,provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment if the Borrower does not respond within ten Business Days of a request for its consent with respect to such assignment; and

(B) the Administrative Agent and, in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans only, the Swing Line Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer,provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(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 Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments and $1,000,000 in the case of Term Loans, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 10.1 or Section 10.5 has occurred and is continuing; provided further that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system or other method reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”) and applicable tax forms; and

151

(E) any assignment of Term Loans to the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall also be subject to the requirements ofSection 12.6(h). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender may assign Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments to the Borrower or any Subsidiary,

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of thisSection 12.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits ofSections 2.10,2.11,5.4 and12.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with thisSection 12.6shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of thisSection 12.6. For the avoidance of doubt, in case of an assignment to a new Lender pursuant to thisSection 12.6, (i) the Administrative Agent, the new Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the new Lender been an original Lender signatory to this Agreement with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the assignment and to the extent of the assignment the assigning Lender shall each be released from further obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) the benefit of each Security Document shall be maintained in favor of the new Lender.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans (and related interest amounts) and any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, each Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Letter of Credit Issuer and, with respect to itself, 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 Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and applicable tax forms (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this

152

Section 12.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of thisSection 12.6, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) (each, 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, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (i) and (vii) of the second proviso toSection 12.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of thisSection 12.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits ofSections 2.10,2.11 and5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of thisSection 12.6, including the requirements of clause (e) ofSection 5.4). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits ofSection 12.8(b) as though it were a Lender,provided such Participant agrees to be subject toSection 12.8(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment underSection 2.10,2.11, or5.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the sale of the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 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, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under

153

Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations complied with the requirements of said Section, andprovided,further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan (or other right or obligation) hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any such Participant Register shall be available for inspection by an Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other governmental authority, and thisSection 12.6 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.

(e) Subject toSection 12.16, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

(f) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(g)SPV Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement;provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the

154

Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in thisSection 12.6, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. ThisSection 12.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of the SPV. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to the following sentence, each SPV shall be entitled to the benefits ofSections 2.10,2.11, and5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of thisSection 12.6, including the requirements of clause (e) ofSection 5.4). Notwithstanding the prior sentence, an SPV shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment underSection 2.10,2.11, or5.4 than its Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to such SPV, unless such grant to such SPV is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and (y) the Borrower and any Subsidiary may, from time to time, purchase or prepay Term Loans, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch auction procedures open to all applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures to be agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or other applicable agent managing such auction) or (y) open market purchases;provided that any Loans or Commitments acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof.

155

(b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms ofSection 12.1 requires the consent of either (i) all of the Lenders affected or (ii) all of the Lenders, and, in each case, with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;provided that (a) all Obligations hereunder of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply withSection 12.6;providedfurther, that such Non-Consenting Lenders being replaced as a result of failing to consent to any Repricing Transaction with respect to the Tranche B-1 Term Loans and/or Tranche B-2 Term Loans shall receive the fees contemplated bySection 4.1(g) with respect to such Lender’s Tranche B-1 Term Loans and/or Tranche B-2 Term Loans.

(c) If any Gaming Board shall determine that any Lender does not meet suitability standards prescribed under applicable Gaming Laws (an “Unsuitable Lender”), each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have the right (but not the duty) to immediately or within a time period prescribed by the applicable Gaming Board to cause such Unsuitable Lender (and such Unsuitable Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Commitments, if any, in full to one or more eligible assignees (each a “Substitute Lender”) in accordance with the provisions ofSection 12.6 and the Unsuitable Lender shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment;provided, that (i) on the date of such assignment, the Substitute Lender shall pay to the Unsuitable Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Unsuitable Lender, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings and participations that have been funded by such Unsuitable Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Unsuitable Lender; and (ii) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Unsuitable Lender pursuant toArticle 5 or otherwise as if it were a prepayment. The Borrower shall bear the costs and expenses of any Lender required by any Gaming Boards to file an application for a finding of suitability in

156

connection with the investigation of an application by the Borrower or the other Loan Parties for a license to operate a gaming establishment.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions ofSection 12.7(c), if any Lender becomes an Unsuitable Lender, and if the Administrative Agent or the Borrower fails to find a Substitute Lender pursuant to the foregoingSection 12.7(c) within any time period specified by the appropriate Gaming Boards for the withdrawal of an Unsuitable Lender (the “Withdrawal Period”), the Borrower shall, if and to the extent required by the appropriate Gaming Boards, promptly prepay in full the outstanding amount of all Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure of the Unsuitable Lender, together with all unpaid fees owing to such Unsuitable Lender and any amounts payable to such Unsuitable Lender pursuant toArticle 5 or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and, in each case where applicable, with accrued interest thereon to the earlier of (x) the date of payment or (y) the last day of the applicable Withdrawal Period. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Unsuitable Lender and the termination of such Unsuitable Lender’s Commitments, if any, such Unsuitable Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided any rights of such Unsuitable Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Unsuitable Lender.

12.8Adjustments;Set-off.

(a) Except as contemplated inSection 12.6 or elsewhere herein, if any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to inSection 10.5, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds 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.

At any such sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings, power of sale, or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor, and against all other Persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Mortgagor. Mortgagee or any of the Lenders may be a purchaser at such sale and if Mortgagee is the highest bidder, Mortgagee shall credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Mortgagee against the Debt in lieu of paying cash. In the event this Mortgage is foreclosed by judicial action, appraisement of the Mortgaged Property is waived; (e) make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Mortgagor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the Debt, the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions hereof; and/or (f) exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity.

4.2 Separate Sales. The Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

4.3 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive.Mortgagee shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Loan Documents and available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Mortgagor or others obligated under the Loan Documents, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Mortgagee or the Lenders, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No action by Mortgagee or the Lenders in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.

Mortgage - [County, State, Site ]

4.4 Release of and Resort to Collateral. 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 Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interest created in or evidenced by the Loan Documents or their status as a first and prior lien and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property. For payment of the Debt, Mortgagee may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect.

4.5 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment; (b) all notices of any Event of Default or of Mortgagee’s election to exercise or the actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents; and (c) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation. Mortgagor waives the statutory right of redemption and equity of redemption.

4.6 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Mortgagee or the Lenders shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Mortgagee or the Lenders shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Mortgagor and Mortgagee or the Lenders shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Debt, the Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Mortgagee or the Lenders shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Mortgagee or the Lenders thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default.

4.7 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Mortgaged Property, shall be applied by Mortgagee (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in accordance withSection 10.12 of the Credit Agreement.

4.8 Occupancy After Foreclosure. Any sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof will divest all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to the property sold. Subject to applicable law, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale will receive immediate possession of the property purchased. If Mortgagor retains possession of such property or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Mortgagor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, and will, if Mortgagor remains in possession after demand to remove, be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law.

4.9 Additional Advances and Disbursements; Costs of Enforcement. If any Event of Default exists, Mortgagee and each of the Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to

Mortgage - [County, State, Site ]

cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor in accordance with the Credit Agreement. All reasonable sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Mortgagee or any Lender under thisSection 4.9, or otherwise under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law, shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or expense incurred if not repaid within five (5) days after demand therefor, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the rate or rates at which interest is then computed on the Debt, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of the Debt or any claim under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Mortgagee or the Lenders in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise.

4.10 No Mortgagee in Possession. Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Section, the assignment of the Rents and Leases underSection 5 hereof, the security interests underSection 6 hereof, nor any other remedies afforded to Mortgagee or the Lenders under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall cause Mortgagee or any Lender to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Mortgagee or any Lender to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.

SECTION 5. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES

5.1 Assignment. In furtherance of and in addition to the assignment made by Mortgagor herein, Mortgagor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns, sells, transfers and conveys to Mortgagee all of its right, title and interest in and to all Leases, whether now existing or hereafter entered into, and all of its right, title and interest in and to all Rents. This assignment is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagor shall have a revocable license from Mortgagee to exercise all rights extended to the landlord under the Leases, including the right to receive and collect all Rents and to hold the Rents in trust for use in the payment and performance of the Obligations and to otherwise use the same. The foregoing license is granted subject to the conditional limitation that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether or not legal proceedings have commenced, and without regard to waste, adequacy of security for the Obligations or solvency of Mortgagor, the license herein granted shall automatically expire and terminate, without notice by Mortgagee (any such notice being hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor).

5.2 Perfection Upon Recordation. Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has taken all reasonable actions necessary to obtain, and that upon recordation of this Mortgage Mortgagee shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully perfected, first priority, present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases subject to the Permitted Liens and in the case of security deposits, rights of depositors and requirements of law. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that upon recordation of this Mortgage Mortgagee’s

Mortgage - [County, State, Site ]

interest in the Rents shall be deemed to be fully perfected, “choate” and enforced as to Mortgagor and all third parties, including, without limitation, any subsequently appointed trustee in any case under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), without the necessity of commencing a foreclosure action with respect to this Mortgage, making formal demand for the Rents, obtaining the appointment of a receiver or taking any other affirmative action.

5.3 Bankruptcy Provisions. Without limitation of the absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree that (a) this Mortgage shall constitute a “security agreement” for purposes of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the security interest created by this Mortgage extends to property of Mortgagor acquired before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all amounts paid as Rents, and (c) such security interest shall extend to all Rents acquired by the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.

SECTION 6. SECURITY AGREEMENT

6.1 Security Interest. This Mortgage constitutes a “security agreement” on personal property within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law and with respect to the Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards. To this end, Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee a first and prior security interest in the Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance, Condemnation Awards and all other Mortgaged Property which is personal property to secure the payment of the Debt and performance of the Obligations subject to the Permitted Liens, and agrees that Mortgagee shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to such property. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Mortgagee with respect to the Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards sent to Mortgagor at least ten (10) days prior to any action under the UCC shall constitute reasonable notice to Mortgagor.

6.2 Financing Statements. Mortgagor shall execute and deliver to Mortgagee, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, such financing statements and such further assurances as Mortgagee may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve Mortgagee’s security interest hereunder and Mortgagee may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest. Mortgagor’s chief executive office is at the address set forth set forth in the first paragraph hereof.

6.3 Fixture Filing. This Mortgage shall also constitute a “fixture filing” for the purposes of the UCC against all of the Mortgaged Property which is or is to become fixtures. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained at the addresses of Debtor (Mortgagor) and Secured Party (Mortgagee) as set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage.

SECTION 7.ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, as itsattorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution, (a) to execute and/or record any notices of completion, cessation of labor or any other notices that Mortgagee deems appropriate to protect Mortgagee’s interest, if Mortgagor shall fail to do so within ten (10) days after written request by Mortgagee, (b) upon the issuance of a deed pursuant to the foreclosure of this Mortgage or the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, to execute all instruments of assignment, conveyance or further assurance with respect to the Leases, Rents, Fixtures, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards in favor of the grantee of any such deed and as may be necessary or desirable for such purpose, (c) to prepare, execute and file or record financing statements, continuation statements, applications for registration and like papers necessary to create, perfect or preserve Mortgagee’s security interests and rights in or to any of the Mortgaged Property, and (d) while any Event of Default exists, to perform any obligation of Mortgagor hereunder; provided, (i) Mortgagee shall not under any circumstances be obligated to perform any obligation of Mortgagor; (ii) any sums advanced by Mortgagee in such performance shall be added to and included in the Debt and shall bear interest at the rate or rates at which interest is then computed on the Debt provided that from the date incurred said advance is not repaid within five (5) days demand therefor; (iii) Mortgagee as suchattorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for such funds as are actually received by Mortgagee; and (iv) Mortgagee shall not be liable to Mortgagor or any other person or entity for any failure to take any action which it is empowered to take under this Section.

SECTION 8. MORTGAGEE AS AGENT

Mortgagee has been appointed to act as Mortgagee hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, Qualified Counterparties. Mortgagee shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of Mortgaged Property), solely in accordance with this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement; provided, Mortgagee shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein in accordance with the instructions of (a) Required Lenders, or (b) after payment in full of all Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the holders of a majority of the aggregate notional amount (or, with respect to any Specified Hedge Agreement that has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the amount then due and payable (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any early termination payments then due) under such Specified Hedge Agreement) under all Specified Hedge Agreements. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of thisSection 8, each Qualified Counterparty, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Mortgaged Property, it being understood and agreed by such Qualified Counterparty that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Mortgagee for the benefit of Lenders and Qualified Counterparties in accordance with the terms of thisSection 8 andSection 11.12 of the Credit Agreement. Mortgagee shall at all times be the same Person that is Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by Administrative Agent pursuant to terms of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as Mortgagee under this Mortgage; removal of Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute removal as Mortgagee under this Mortgage; and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms

Mortgage - [County, State, Site ]

of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Mortgagee under this Mortgage. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under the terms of the Credit Agreement by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Mortgagee under this Mortgage, and the retiring or removed Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Mortgagee all sums, securities and other items of Mortgaged Property held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Mortgagee under this Mortgage, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Mortgagee such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Mortgagee of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Mortgagee shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Mortgage thereafter accruing. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Mortgagee, the provisions of this Mortgage shall continue to enure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Mortgage while it was Mortgagee hereunder.

SECTION 9. TERMINATION AND RELEASE.

Upon payment and performance in full of the Obligations and the termination of all commitments under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagee, at Mortgagor’s expense, shall release the liens and security interests created by this Mortgage or reconvey the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagor, or, at the request of Mortgagor, assign this Mortgage without recourse, in either case in accordance with, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in,Section 11.11 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 10. LOCAL LAW PROVISIONS

[to be provided, if any, by local counsel or title company]

SECTION 11. [LEASEHOLD PROVISIONS.]¹²

11.1 Mortgagor represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

(a) Mortgagor has delivered to Mortgagee a true, correct and complete copy of the Pledged Lease, including all amendments and modifications thereto existing as of the date hereof and the Pledged Lease is in full force and effect.

(b) Mortgagor owns the entire tenant’s interest under the Pledged Lease and has the right under the Pledged Lease to execute this Mortgage.

¹²	Insert for Leasehold Mortgage. Note that further provisions may be incorporated with respect to each specific lease.

Mortgage - [County, State, Site ]

(c) Except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not enter into any new leases of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property except with Mortgagee’s prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) No material default now exists under the Pledged Lease. To Mortgagor’s knowledge, no event has occurred that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute such a material default or would entitle Mortgagor or any other party under the Pledged Lease to cancel the same.

(e) Except for this Mortgage or other assignments in favor of Mortgagee, Mortgagor has not executed any assignment or pledge of the Pledged Lease or of Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in the same.

(f) This Mortgage does not constitute a violation or default under the Pledged Lease, and is, and shall at all times constitute a valid lien (subject only to matters permitted by this Mortgage) on Mortgagor’s interests in the Pledged Lease.

(g) Mortgagor shall perform and observe, in all material respects, all terms, covenants, and conditions to the extent required to be performed and observed by Mortgagor as Lessee under the Pledged Lease. Mortgagor shall enforce, in all material respects, the Lessor’s obligations under the Pledged Lease. Without limiting the generality ofSection 7 hereof, Mortgagor specifically acknowledges Mortgagee’s right, while any default by Mortgagor under the Pledged Lease remains uncured, to perform the defaulted obligations and take all other actions which Mortgagee deems necessary to protect its interests with respect thereto, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney in fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) in its name or otherwise to execute all documents, and perform all other acts, which Mortgagee reasonably deems necessary to preserve its or Mortgagor’s rights with respect to the Pledged Lease.

(h) Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee a copy of any material notice of default or termination that it receives from the Lessor with respect to the Pledged Lease. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of any written request that either party to the Pledged Lease makes for arbitration pursuant to the Pledged Lease and the guidelines of the institution of any such arbitration. Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee a copy of the arbitrators’ written determination in each such arbitration. Mortgagee may participate in any such arbitration in such manner as Mortgagee shall determine appropriate following an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, to the exclusion of Mortgagor if so determined by Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion.

(i) Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not, without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, (i) enter into any modification or amendment of the Pledged Lease (ii) cause or permit the termination of the Pledged Lease or (iii) consent to any action requested by Lessor or any third party as required pursuant to the terms and provisions of such Pledged Lease, in each case, if the same would have a material adverse effect on Mortgagor’s day to day operations at the Mortgaged Property.

Mortgage - [County, State, Site ]

(j) Mortgagor shall not subordinate the Pledged Lease to any mortgage or other encumbrance of, or lien on, any interest in the Land without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Any such prohibited subordination without such consent shall, at Mortgagee’s option, be void.

(k) All material subleases expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement to be entered into by Mortgagor with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property (and all existing subleases modified by Mortgagor) shall provide that such subleases are subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and any modifications of this Mortgage and the obligations secured hereby and that, if Mortgagee forecloses under this Mortgage or enters into a new lease with Lessor pursuant toSection 11.7 hereof, the subtenant shall attorn to Mortgagee or its assignee and the sublease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the termination of the Pledged Lease.

(l) Promptly upon demand by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from Lessor and furnish to Mortgagee an estoppel certificate of Lessor stating the date through which rent has been paid, whether or not there are any defaults, and the specific nature of any claimed defaults.

(m) Mortgagor shall exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of the Pledged Lease prior to the date of termination of any such option or right, shall give immediate written notice thereof to Mortgagee, and shall execute, deliver and record any documents requested by Mortgagee to evidence the lien of this Mortgage on such extended or renewed lease term unless the Pledged Lease is not renewed or extended as expressly permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement. If Mortgagor fails to exercise any such option or right as required herein, Mortgagee may exercise the option or right as Mortgagor’s agent and attorney in fact pursuant to this Mortgage, or in Mortgagee’s own name or in the name of and on behalf of a nominee of Mortgagee, as Mortgagee chooses in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, if Mortgagor shall fail to exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of the Pledged Lease, Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee reasonable prior notice. Mortgagee shall thereafter provide Mortgagor prior written notice of such action(s), or if Mortgagee reasonably determines that providing such prior written notice is not feasible, then substantially concurrent written notice of such action(s).

(n) As security for the Obligations, Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee a security interest in all prepaid rents and security deposits and all other security which Lessor holds for the performance of Mortgagor’s obligations thereunder.

(o) To the extent permitted by law, the price payable by Mortgagor or any other party in the exercise of the right of redemption, if any, from any sale under, or decree of foreclosure of, this Mortgage shall include all rents and other amounts paid and other sums advanced by Mortgagee on behalf of Mortgagor as Lessee.

(p) Mortgagor’s obligations under this Mortgage are independent of and in addition to Mortgagor’s obligations under the Pledged Lease. Nothing in this Mortgage shall be construed to require Mortgagor or Mortgagee to take or omit to take any action that would cause a default under the Pledged Lease.

Mortgage - [County, State, Site ]

11.2 Treatment of Lease in Bankruptcy.

(a) If the Lessor rejects or disaffirms, or seeks or purports to reject or disaffirm, the Pledged Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then Mortgagor shall not exercise the 365(h) Election except as otherwise provided in this Mortgage. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall not suffer or permit the termination of any Pledged Lease by exercise of the 365(h) Election or otherwise without Mortgagee’s prior written consent. Mortgagor acknowledges that because the Pledged Lease is a primary element of Mortgagee’s security for the Obligations secured hereunder, it is not anticipated that Mortgagee would consent to termination of the Pledged Lease. If Mortgagor makes any 365(h) Election in violation of this Mortgage, then such 365(h) Election shall be void and of no force or effect.

(b) To the extent permissible under law, Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee the right to make the 365(h) Election with respect to the Pledged Lease until the Obligations secured hereunder have been satisfied in full. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing assignment of the 365(h) Election and related rights is one of the rights that Mortgagee may use at any time to protect and preserve Mortgagee’s other rights and interests under this Mortgage. Mortgagor further acknowledges that exercise of the 365(h) Election in favor of terminating the Pledged Lease would constitute waste prohibited by this Mortgage. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the 365(h) Election is in the nature of a remedy available to Mortgagor under the Pledged Lease, and is not a property interest that Mortgagor can separate from the Pledged Lease as to which it arises. Therefore, Mortgagor agrees and acknowledges that exercise of the 365(h) Election in favor of preserving the right to possession under the Pledged Lease shall not be deemed to constitute Mortgagee’s taking or sale of the Land (or any element thereof) and shall not entitle Mortgagor to any credit against the Obligations secured hereunder or otherwise impair Mortgagee’s remedies.

(c) Mortgagor acknowledges that if the 365(h) Election is exercised in favor of Mortgagor’s remaining in possession under the Pledged Lease, then Mortgagor’s resulting occupancy rights, as adjusted by the effect of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall then be part of the Mortgaged Property and shall be subject to the lien of this Mortgage.

11.3 Rejection of Lease by Lessor. If the Lessor rejects or disaffirms the Pledged Lease or purports or seeks to disaffirm such Pledged Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then, to the extent permissible under law:

(a) Mortgagor shall remain in possession of the Land demised under the Pledged Lease and shall perform all acts necessary for Mortgagor to remain in such possession for the unexpired term of such Pledged Lease (including all renewals), whether the then existing terms and provisions of such Pledged Lease require such acts or otherwise; and

(b) All the terms and provisions of this Mortgage and the lien created by this Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect and shall extend automatically, to the extent permitted by law, to all of Mortgagor’s rights and remedies arising at any time under, or pursuant to, Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including all of Mortgagor’s rights to remain in possession of the Land.

Mortgage - [County, State, Site ]

11.4 Assignment of Claims to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee promptly (i) upon learning of Lessor’s rejection of the Pledged Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law or (ii) in the event that Mortgagor sends any notice of default to Lessor pursuant to the terms of the Pledged Lease. Mortgagor unconditionally assigns, transfers, and sets over to Mortgagee any and all Lease Damage Claims. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of the Lease Damage Claims, and shall continue in effect until this Mortgage is released or terminated in accordance withSection 9 hereof.

11.5 Offset by Mortgagor. If pursuant to Section 365(h)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other similar Bankruptcy Law, Mortgagor seeks to offset against any rent under the Pledged Lease the amount of any Lease Damage Claim, then Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee of its intent to do so at least 20 days before effecting such offset. Such notice shall set forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis for such offset. If Mortgagee reasonably objects to all or any part of such offset, then Mortgagor shall not effect any offset of the amounts to which Mortgagee reasonably objects. If Mortgagee approves such offset, then Mortgagor may effect such offset as set forth in Mortgagor’s notice. Neither Mortgagee’s failure to object, nor any objection or other communication between Mortgagee and Mortgagor that relates to such offset, shall constitute Mortgagee’s approval of any such offset. Mortgagor shall indemnify Mortgagee against any offset against the rent reserved in any Lease.

11.6 Mortgagor’s Acquisition of Interest in Leased Parcel. If Mortgagor acquires the fee or any other interest in any Land or Improvements originally subject to the Pledged Lease, then, such acquired interest shall immediately become subject to the lien of this Mortgage as fully and completely, and with the same effect, as if Mortgagor now owned it and as if this Mortgage specifically described it, without need for the delivery and/or recording of a supplement to this Mortgage or any other instrument. In the event of any such acquisition, the fee and leasehold interests in such Land or Improvements, unless Mortgagee elects otherwise in writing, remain separate and distinct and shall not merge, notwithstanding any principle of law to the contrary.

11.7 New Lease Issued to Agent. If the Pledged Lease is for any reason whatsoever terminated before the expiration of its term and, pursuant to any provision of the Pledged Lease, Mortgagee or its designee shall acquire from Lessor a new lease of the relevant leased premises, then Mortgagor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such new lease or the estate created thereby.

11.8 Event of Default. In addition to all other Events of Default described in this Mortgage, the occurrence of any of the following shall be an Event of Default hereunder:

(a) A breach or default by Mortgagor under the Pledged Lease, subject to any applicable cure period; or

(b) The occurrence of any event or circumstance which gives Lessor a right to terminate the Pledged Lease.

SECTION 13. MULTI-SITE REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS.

Mortgagor acknowledges that this Mortgage is one of a number of Mortgages and other security documents (“Other Mortgages”) that secure the Obligations. Mortgagor agrees that, subject to the terms ofSection 9 hereof, the lien of this Mortgage shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of Mortgagee, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien hereof shall not be impaired by any acceptance by Mortgagee of any security for or guarantees of the Obligations, or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of Mortgagee to realize upon or protect any Obligation or any collateral security therefor including the Other Mortgages. Subject to the terms ofSection 9 hereof, the lien of this Mortgage shall not in any manner be impaired or affected by any release (except as to the property released), sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, changing, modification or disposition of any of the Obligations or of any of the collateral security therefor, including the Other Mortgages or any guarantee thereof, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee may at its discretion foreclose, exercise any power of sale, or exercise any other remedy available to it under any or all of the Other Mortgages without first exercising or enforcing any of its rights and remedies hereunder. Such exercise of Mortgagee’s rights and remedies under any or all of the Other Mortgages shall not in any manner impair the indebtedness hereby secured or the lien of this Mortgage and any exercise of the rights and remedies of Mortgagee hereunder shall not impair the lien of any of the Other Mortgages or any of Mortgagee’s rights and remedies thereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagor specifically consents and agrees that Mortgagee may exercise its rights and remedies hereunder and under the Other Mortgages separately or concurrently and in any order that it may deem appropriate and waives any right of subrogation.

PROVIDED and the conditions of these presents are such, that upon payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations and the termination of all commitments under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, subject to and in accordance with the Credit Agreement, then this Mortgage and the estate and rights hereby granted shall cease and be void, otherwise to remain in full force and effect.

Article I

Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Owner

The Owner represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Mortgagee as follows:

Section 1.01The Owner was duly organized and is now validly existing as a [ ] under the laws of the State of [ ], United States of America, and shall so remain during the life of this Mortgage. The Owner is now, and shall so remain until this Mortgage is discharged, a citizen of the United States duly qualified to own and operate the Vessel under a certificate of documentation with such endorsements as may be appropriate for the service in which the Vessel is engaged from time to time. The Owner is duly authorized to mortgage the Vessel, and all [ ] action necessary and required by law for the execution and delivery of the Subsidiary Guaranty and this Mortgage has been duly and effectively taken.

Section 1.02The Subsidiary Guaranty is and will be the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Section 1.03The Owner lawfully owns and is lawfully possessed of the whole of the Vessel. The Vessel is free of any commitment for charter or sale or use by any governmental authority. The Owner will warrant and defend its title to the Vessel and to every part thereof as described herein, for the benefit of the Mortgagee and its successors and assigns and against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.

Section 1.04The Vessel is free from any lien, charge, security interest or encumbrance whatsoever, except for Liens expressly permitted by Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement (the “Permitted Liens”).

Section 1.05The Owner will comply with the provisions of Title 46 United States Code, Chapter 313, and the regulations in 46 CFR Part 67, as at any time amended, in order to establish and maintain this Mortgage as a first preferred ship mortgage thereunder on the Vessel and on all renewals, improvements and replacements made in or to the same, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

[ ]
FIRST PREFERRED SHIP MORTGAGE		Page 4 of 3

and the Owner will fully and timely observe, perform and comply with each and every one of the agreements, covenants, terms and conditions herein and in the Credit Agreement, Subsidiary Guaranty, and other Loan Documents, express or implied, on its part to be observed, performed or complied with.

The insurance required hereby shall be in such amounts, against such risks, in such form and with such insurers as responsible companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar assets would maintain. In no event shall Mortgagee be responsible for the payment of premiums to any insurer or any agent thereof, or the compliance with warranties, conditions or representations in the policies. The insurance maintained by Owner shall be primary without any right of contribution from insurance which may be maintained by Mortgagee. The Owner shall furnish to the Mortgagee a certificate or other evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that such insurance coverage is in effect, but the Mortgagee shall be under no duty to ascertain the existence or adequacy of such insurance.

Section 1.08The Owner will not cause or permit the Vessel to be operated in any manner contrary to applicable law, will not abandon the Vessel, will not engage in any unlawful trade or violate any law that will expose the Vessel to penalty, forfeiture or seizure, and will not take, tolerate or permit any action which might adversely affect the documentation of the Vessel under the laws of the United States of America unless such action is the result of a change in such laws or in Coast Guard policy.

Section 1.09Neither the Owner, the Master of the Vessel, any charterer nor any other person has or shall have the right, power or authority to continue, create, incur or permit to be placed or imposed upon the Vessel, her freights, profits or hire, any liens whatsoever, other than Permitted Liens.

Section 1.11Except for Permitted Liens, the Owner will not create or suffer to be continued any security interest, lien, encumbrance or charge on the Vessel or any income therefrom and in due course and, subject to any rights granted to Owner under the Credit Agreement to contest such security interests, liens, encumbrances or charges, and at Owner’s expense, promptly after the same becomes due and payable will pay or cause to be discharged or make adequate provision for the payment or discharge of all claims or demands which, if not paid or discharged, might result in the creation of such a security interest, lien, encumbrance or charge, and the Owner will cause the Vessel to be released or discharged therefrom.

The Owner shall forthwith notify the Mortgagee by facsimile or email, confirmed by letter, at the place specified in Section 3.02 below of any such action against the Vessel and the response of the Owner thereto. The Owner will provide the Mortgagee with all information and copies of documents relating to such action as requested.

Section 1.16The Mortgagee shall have the right at all times on reasonable notice, to inspect the Vessel to ascertain her condition and to satisfy itself that the Vessel is being properly maintained as required by this Mortgage (provided that such inspections do not interfere with the normal commercial operation of the Vessel), and the Owner shall cause to be made all such repairs, without expense to the Mortgagee, as such inspection may show to be required to maintain the Vessel in compliance with this Mortgage.

Section 1.17Upon request by the Mortgagee, the Owner shall provide the Mortgagee with copies of all documents and contracts relating to the Vessel, whether on board or ashore.

Section 1.18The Owner will pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, when due and payable from time to time, all taxes, assessments, governmental charges, fines and penalties lawfully imposed on the Vessel, subject to any rights granted to the Owner under the Credit Agreement to contest the same.

FIRST PREFERRED SHIP MORTGAGE		Page 7 of 3

Section 1.20In the event that this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty or any other Loan Document or any document provided for therein, or any provisions hereof or thereof, shall be deemed invalidated in whole or in part by reason of any present or future law or any decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or if the documents at any time held by the Mortgagee be deemed for any reason insufficient to carry out the true intent and spirit of this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty or any other Loan Document, then, from time to time, the Owner will execute, on its own behalf, such other and further assurances and documents as may be reasonably required more effectually to subject the Vessel to the full and timely payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, as in the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty or any other Loan Document and as herein provided, and to the full and timely performance of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty, this Mortgage and any other Loan Document.

Section 1.21The Owner will reimburse the Mortgagee promptly, with interest at a rate equal to the Default Rate (as defined in Section 2.8(c) of the Credit Agreement), for all expenses which the Mortgagee may from time to time incur in providing such protection in respect of insurance, discharge of liens, taxes, dues, assessments, governmental charges, fines and penalties lawfully imposed, repairs, attorneys’ fees and other matters as the Owner is obligated herein to provide, but fails to provide. Such obligation of the Owner to reimburse the Mortgagee shall be an additional indebtedness due from it, secured by this Mortgage, and shall be payable by it on demand. The Mortgagee, though privileged so to do, shall be under no obligation to the Owner or any other person to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof relieve the Owner of any default in that respect.

contract of sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the sale or contract of sale was so adjourned. The Mortgagee shall not be obligated to complete the sale of the Vessel if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of whether or not a notice of sale may have been published or given.

The Owner agrees that any sale made in accordance with this Section shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

(b) The Owner hereby appoints the Mortgagee or its agent as the attorney-in-fact of the Owner with full power and authority to execute and deliver to any purchaser aforesaid a good conveyance of the title to the Vessel sold at private sale following an Event of Default.

Section 2.03In the event that the Vessel shall be arrested or detained by a marshal or other officer of any court of law, equity or admiralty jurisdiction or by any government authority and shall not be released from arrest or detention, within twenty-one (21) days from the date of arrest or detention, the Owner does hereby authorize and empower the Mortgagee, in the name of the Owner, or its successors or assigns, to apply for and receive possession of and to take possession of the Vessel with all the rights and powers that the Owner, or its successors or assigns, might have or exercise in any such event; and this power of attorney shall be irrevocable and may be exercised not only by the Mortgagee but also by an appointee or appointees, with full power of substitution, to the same extent as if the said appointee or appointees had been named as one of the attorneys by express designation.

Section 2.04The Owner authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee or its appointees or any of them to appear in the name of the Owner, its successors or assigns, in any court where a suit is pending against the Vessel because of or on account of any alleged lien against the Vessel from which the Vessel has not been released and to take such proceedings as to them or any of them may seem proper towards the defense of such suit and the discharge of such lien, and all expenditures made or incurred by them or any of them for the purpose of such defense or discharge shall be a debt due from the Owner, its successors and assigns, to the Mortgagee, and shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage in like manner and extent as if the amount and description thereof were written herein.

a. Each and every power and remedy herein specifically given to the Mortgagee or otherwise in this Mortgage shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, in admiralty or by statute, and each and every power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other power or remedy.

b. No delay or omission by the Mortgagee in the exercise of any right or power or in the pursuance of any remedy accruing upon any Event of Default as above defined shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of such Event of Default or to be an acquiescence therein; nor shall the acceptance by the Mortgagee of any security or of any payment after an Event of Default be construed to be a waiver of any right to take advantage of any future Event of Default or of any past Event of Default not completely cured thereby.

c. To the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so, the Owner agrees that it will not at any time assert, claim, plead, or take advantage of any law relating to appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption if as a consequence thereof the enforcement of this Mortgage would be prevented, delayed or hindered, and the Owner hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.

Section 2.05In case the Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Owner and the Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the property subject to this Mortgage, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.

The Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect any deficiency from the Owner. The Owner shall be entitled to any surplus, subject to setoff in favor of the Mortgagee or any Lender for any other indebtedness of the Owner under the Loan Documents.

Section 2.07 Any right, power or authority granted to the Mortgagee in this Mortgage may be exercised by the Mortgagee or such agent as the Mortgagee shall appoint.

Section 2.08 Until an Event of Default shall occur, the Owner shall be permitted to retain actual possession and use of the Vessel.

Section 2.09 If at any time from and after an Event of Default and prior to the actual sale of the Vessel by the Mortgagee or prior to any enforcement or foreclosure proceedings the Owner offers completely to cure all Events of Default, with interest at the rate applicable to the Obligations at the time (including default, penalty or other interest applicable at such time), and to pay all expenses, advances and damages to the Mortgagee consequent on such Events of Default, then the Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, accept such offer and payment and restore the Owner to its former position, but such action, if taken, shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights consequent thereon.

Grantor shall (i) pay when due any mortgage recording tax or similar tax imposed upon it or upon Beneficiary or any Lender or Qualified Counterparty pursuant to the tax law of the state in which the Trust Property is located in connection with the execution, delivery and recordation of this Deed of Trust, and (ii) prepare, execute and file any form required to be prepared, executed and filed by Grantor in connection therewith.

At any such sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings, power of sale, or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor, and against all other Persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Grantor. Beneficiary or any of the Lenders may be a purchaser at such sale and if Beneficiary is the highest bidder, Beneficiary shall credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Beneficiary against the Debt in lieu of paying cash. In the event this Deed of Trust is foreclosed by judicial action, appraisement of the Trust Property is waived; (e) make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Grantor or regard to the adequacy of the Trust Property for the repayment of the Debt, the appointment of a receiver of the Trust Property, and Grantor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Trust Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions hereof; and/or (f) exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity.

4.2 Separate Sales. The Trust Property may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may elect; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

4.3 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive.Beneficiary shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Loan Documents and available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Grantor or others obligated under the Loan

Deed of Trust - [County, State, Site ]

Documents, or against the Trust Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Beneficiary or the Lenders, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No action by Beneficiary or the Lenders in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.

4.4 Release of and Resort to Collateral. Beneficiary may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Trust Property, any part of the Trust Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interest created in or evidenced by the Loan Documents or their status as a first and prior lien and security interest in and to the Trust Property. For payment of the Debt, Beneficiary may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect.

4.5 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Grantor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Trust Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment; (b) all notices of any Event of Default or of Beneficiary’s election to exercise or the actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents; and (c) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation. Grantor waives the statutory right of redemption and equity of redemption.

4.6 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Beneficiary or the Lenders shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Beneficiary or the Lenders shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Grantor and Beneficiary or the Lenders shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Debt, the Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Trust Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Beneficiary or the Lenders shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Beneficiary or the Lenders thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default.

4.7 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Trust Property, shall be applied by Beneficiary (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in accordance withSection 10.12 of the Credit Agreement.

4.8 Occupancy After Foreclosure. Any sale of the Trust Property or any part thereof will divest all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to the property sold. Subject to applicable law, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale will receive immediate possession of the property purchased. If Grantor retains possession of such property or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Grantor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, and will, if Grantor remains in possession after demand to remove, be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law.

Deed of Trust - [County, State, Site ]

4.9 Additional Advances and Disbursements; Costs of Enforcement. If any Event of Default exists, Beneficiary and each of the Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Grantor in accordance with the Credit Agreement. All reasonable sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Beneficiary or any Lender under thisSection 4.9, or otherwise under this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law, shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or expense incurred if not repaid within five (5) days after demand therefor, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the rate or rates at which interest is then computed on the Debt, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. Grantor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of the Debt or any claim under this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Beneficiary or the Lenders in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise.

4.10 No Mortgagee in Possession. Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Section, the assignment of the Rents and Leases underSection 5 hereof, the security interests underSection 6 hereof, nor any other remedies afforded to Beneficiary or the Lenders under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall cause Beneficiary or any Lender to be deemed or construed to be a Beneficiary in possession of the Trust Property, to obligate Beneficiary or any Lender to lease the Trust Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.

SECTION 5. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES

5.1 Assignment. In furtherance of and in addition to the assignment made by Grantor herein, Grantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns, sells, transfers and conveys to Beneficiary all of its right, title and interest in and to all Leases, whether now existing or hereafter entered into, and all of its right, title and interest in and to all Rents. This assignment is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor shall have a revocable license from Beneficiary to exercise all rights extended to the landlord under the Leases, including the right to receive and collect all Rents and to hold the Rents in trust for use in the payment and performance of the Obligations and to otherwise use the same. The foregoing license is granted subject to the conditional limitation that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether or not legal proceedings have commenced, and without regard to waste, adequacy of security for the Obligations or solvency of Grantor, the license herein granted shall automatically expire and terminate, without notice by Beneficiary (any such notice being hereby expressly waived by Grantor).

Deed of Trust - [County, State, Site ]

5.2 Perfection Upon Recordation. Grantor acknowledges that Beneficiary has taken all reasonable actions necessary to obtain, and that upon recordation of this Deed of Trust Beneficiary shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully perfected, first priority, present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases subject to the Permitted Liens and in the case of security deposits, rights of depositors and requirements of law. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that upon recordation of this Deed of Trust Beneficiary’s interest in the Rents shall be deemed to be fully perfected, “choate” and enforced as to Grantor and all third parties, including, without limitation, any subsequently appointed trustee in any case under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), without the necessity of commencing a foreclosure action with respect to this Deed of Trust, making formal demand for the Rents, obtaining the appointment of a receiver or taking any other affirmative action.

5.3 Bankruptcy Provisions. Without limitation of the absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Grantor and Beneficiary agree that (a) this Deed of Trust shall constitute a “security agreement” for purposes of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the security interest created by this Deed of Trust extends to property of Grantor acquired before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all amounts paid as Rents, and (c) such security interest shall extend to all Rents acquired by the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.

Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary with respect to the Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards sent to Grantor at least ten (10) days prior to any action under the UCC shall constitute reasonable notice to Grantor.

6.2 Financing Statements. Grantor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, such financing statements and such further assurances as Beneficiary may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve Beneficiary’s security interest hereunder and Beneficiary may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest. Grantor’s chief executive office is at the address set forth set forth in the first paragraph hereof.

Beneficiary has been appointed to act as Beneficiary hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, Qualified Counterparties. Beneficiary shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of Trust Property), solely in accordance with this Deed of Trust and the Credit Agreement; provided, Beneficiary shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein in accordance with the instructions of (a) Required Lenders, or (b) after payment in full of all Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the holders of a majority of the aggregate notional amount (or, with respect to any Specified Hedge Agreement that has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the amount then due and payable (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any early termination payments then due) under such Specified Hedge Agreement) under all Specified Hedge Agreements.

of thisSection 8 andSection 11.12 of the Credit Agreement. Beneficiary shall at all times be the same Person that is Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by Administrative Agent pursuant to terms of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust; removal of Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute removal as Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust; and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under the terms of the Credit Agreement by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, and the retiring or removed Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Beneficiary all sums, securities and other items of Trust Property held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Beneficiary such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Beneficiary of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Beneficiary shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Deed of Trust thereafter accruing. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Beneficiary, the provisions of this Deed of Trust shall continue to enure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Deed of Trust while it was Beneficiary hereunder.

Upon payment and performance in full of the Obligations and the termination of all commitments under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, Beneficiary, at Grantor’s expense, shall release the liens and security interests created by this Deed of Trust or reconvey the Trust Property to Grantor, or, at the request of Grantor, assign this Deed of Trust without recourse, in either case in accordance with, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in,Section 11.11 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 10. LOCAL LAW PROVISIONS

SECTION 11. [LEASEHOLD PROVISIONS.]¹²

11.1 Grantor represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

(a) Grantor has delivered to Beneficiary a true, correct and complete copy of the Pledged Lease, including all amendments and modifications thereto existing as of the date hereof and the Pledged Lease is in full force and effect.

¹²	Insert for Leasehold Deed of Trust. Note that further provisions may be incorporated with respect to each specific lease.

Deed of Trust - [County, State, Site ]

(b) Grantor owns the entire tenant’s interest under the Pledged Lease and has the right under the Pledged Lease to execute this Deed of Trust.

(c) Except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall not enter into any new leases of all or any portion of the Trust Property except with Beneficiary’s prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) No material default now exists under the Pledged Lease. To Grantor’s knowledge, no event has occurred that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute such a material default or would entitle Grantor or any other party under the Pledged Lease to cancel the same.

(e) Except for this Deed of Trust or other assignments in favor of Beneficiary, Grantor has not executed any assignment or pledge of the Pledged Lease or of Grantor’s right, title and interest in the same.

(f) This Deed of Trust does not constitute a violation or default under the Pledged Lease, and is, and shall at all times constitute a valid lien (subject only to matters permitted by this Deed of Trust) on Grantor’s interests in the Pledged Lease.

(g) Grantor shall perform and observe, in all material respects, all terms, covenants, and conditions to the extent required to be performed and observed by Grantor as Lessee under the Pledged Lease. Grantor shall enforce, in all material respects, the Lessor’s obligations under the Pledged Lease. Without limiting the generality ofSection 7 hereof, Grantor specifically acknowledges Beneficiary’s right, while any default by Grantor under the Pledged Lease remains uncured, to perform the defaulted obligations and take all other actions which Beneficiary deems necessary to protect its interests with respect thereto, and Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney in fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) in its name or otherwise to execute all documents, and perform all other acts, which Beneficiary reasonably deems necessary to preserve its or Grantor’s rights with respect to the Pledged Lease.

(h) Grantor shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary a copy of any material notice of default or termination that it receives from the Lessor with respect to the Pledged Lease. Grantor shall promptly notify Beneficiary of any written request that either party to the Pledged Lease makes for arbitration pursuant to the Pledged Lease and the guidelines of the institution of any such arbitration. Grantor shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary a copy of the arbitrators’ written determination in each such arbitration. Beneficiary may participate in any such arbitration in such manner as Beneficiary shall determine appropriate following an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, to the exclusion of Grantor if so determined by Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion.

(i) Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall not, without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, (i) enter into any modification or amendment of the Pledged Lease (ii)

Deed of Trust - [County, State, Site ]

cause or permit the termination of the Pledged Lease or (iii) consent to any action requested by Lessor or any third party as required pursuant to the terms and provisions of such Pledged Lease, in each case, if the same would have a material adverse effect on Grantor’s day to day operations at the Trust Property.

(j) Grantor shall not subordinate the Pledged Lease to any mortgage or other encumbrance of, or lien on, any interest in the Land without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. Any such prohibited subordination without such consent shall, at Beneficiary’s option, be void.

(k) All material subleases expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement to be entered into by Grantor with respect to all or any portion of the Trust Property (and all existing subleases modified by Grantor) shall provide that such subleases are subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust and any modifications of this Deed of Trust and the obligations secured hereby and that, if Beneficiary forecloses under this Deed of Trust or enters into a new lease with Lessor pursuant toSection 11.7 hereof, the subtenant shall attorn to Beneficiary or its assignee and the sublease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the termination of the Pledged Lease.

(l) Promptly upon demand by Beneficiary, Grantor shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from Lessor and furnish to Beneficiary an estoppel certificate of Lessor stating the date through which rent has been paid, whether or not there are any defaults, and the specific nature of any claimed defaults.

(m) Grantor shall exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of the Pledged Lease prior to the date of termination of any such option or right, shall give immediate written notice thereof to Beneficiary, and shall execute, deliver and record any documents requested by Beneficiary to evidence the lien of this Deed of Trust on such extended or renewed lease term unless the Pledged Lease is not renewed or extended as expressly permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement. If Grantor fails to exercise any such option or right as required herein, Beneficiary may exercise the option or right as Grantor’s agent and attorney in fact pursuant to this Deed of Trust, or in Beneficiary’s own name or in the name of and on behalf of a nominee of Beneficiary, as Beneficiary chooses in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, if Grantor shall fail to exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of the Pledged Lease, Grantor shall give Beneficiary reasonable prior notice. Beneficiary shall thereafter provide Grantor prior written notice of such action(s), or if Beneficiary reasonably determines that providing such prior written notice is not feasible, then substantially concurrent written notice of such action(s).

(n) As security for the Obligations, Grantor hereby assigns to Beneficiary a security interest in all prepaid rents and security deposits and all other security which Lessor holds for the performance of Grantor’s obligations thereunder.

(o) To the extent permitted by law, the price payable by Grantor or any other party in the exercise of the right of redemption, if any, from any sale under, or decree of foreclosure of, this Deed of Trust shall include all rents and other amounts paid and other sums advanced by Beneficiary on behalf of Grantor as Lessee.

Deed of Trust - [County, State, Site ]

(p) Grantor’s obligations under this Deed of Trust are independent of and in addition to Grantor’s obligations under the Pledged Lease. Nothing in this Deed of Trust shall be construed to require Grantor or Beneficiary to take or omit to take any action that would cause a default under the Pledged Lease.

11.2 Treatment of Lease in Bankruptcy.

(a) If the Lessor rejects or disaffirms, or seeks or purports to reject or disaffirm, the Pledged Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then Grantor shall not exercise the 365(h) Election except as otherwise provided in this Deed of Trust. To the extent permitted by law, Grantor shall not suffer or permit the termination of any Pledged Lease by exercise of the 365(h) Election or otherwise without Beneficiary’s prior written consent. Grantor acknowledges that because the Pledged Lease is a primary element of Beneficiary’s security for the Obligations secured hereunder, it is not anticipated that Beneficiary would consent to termination of the Pledged Lease. If Grantor makes any 365(h) Election in violation of this Deed of Trust, then such 365(h) Election shall be void and of no force or effect.

(b) To the extent permissible under law, Grantor hereby assigns to Beneficiary the right to make the 365(h) Election with respect to the Pledged Lease until the Obligations secured hereunder have been satisfied in full. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing assignment of the 365(h) Election and related rights is one of the rights that Beneficiary may use at any time to protect and preserve Beneficiary’s other rights and interests under this Deed of Trust. Grantor further acknowledges that exercise of the 365(h) Election in favor of terminating the Pledged Lease would constitute waste prohibited by this Deed of Trust. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the 365(h) Election is in the nature of a remedy available to Grantor under the Pledged Lease, and is not a property interest that Grantor can separate from the Pledged Lease as to which it arises. Therefore, Grantor agrees and acknowledges that exercise of the 365(h) Election in favor of preserving the right to possession under the Pledged Lease shall not be deemed to constitute Beneficiary’s taking or sale of the Land (or any element thereof) and shall not entitle Grantor to any credit against the Obligations secured hereunder or otherwise impair Beneficiary’s remedies.

(c) Grantor acknowledges that if the 365(h) Election is exercised in favor of Grantor’s remaining in possession under the Pledged Lease, then Grantor’s resulting occupancy rights, as adjusted by the effect of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall then be part of the Trust Property and shall be subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust.

(a) Grantor shall remain in possession of the Land demised under the Pledged Lease and shall perform all acts necessary for Grantor to remain in such possession for the unexpired term of such Pledged Lease (including all renewals), whether the then existing terms and provisions of such Pledged Lease require such acts or otherwise; and

Deed of Trust - [County, State, Site ]

(b) All the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust and the lien created by this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect and shall extend automatically, to the extent permitted by law, to all of Grantor’s rights and remedies arising at any time under, or pursuant to, Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including all of Grantor’s rights to remain in possession of the Land.

11.4 Assignment of Claims to Beneficiary. Grantor shall notify Beneficiary promptly (i) upon learning of Lessor’s rejection of the Pledged Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law or (ii) in the event that Grantor sends any notice of default to Lessor pursuant to the terms of the Pledged Lease. Grantor unconditionally assigns, transfers, and sets over to Beneficiary any and all Lease Damage Claims. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of the Lease Damage Claims, and shall continue in effect until this Deed of Trust is released or terminated in accordance withSection 9 hereof.

11.5 Offset by Grantor. If pursuant to Section 365(h)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other similar Bankruptcy Law, Grantor seeks to offset against any rent under the Pledged Lease the amount of any Lease Damage Claim, then Grantor shall notify Beneficiary of its intent to do so at least 20 days before effecting such offset. Such notice shall set forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis for such offset. If Beneficiary reasonably objects to all or any part of such offset, then Grantor shall not effect any offset of the amounts to which Beneficiary reasonably objects. If Beneficiary approves such offset, then Grantor may effect such offset as set forth in Grantor’s notice. Neither Beneficiary’s failure to object, nor any objection or other communication between Beneficiary and Grantor that relates to such offset, shall constitute Beneficiary’s approval of any such offset. Grantor shall indemnify Beneficiary against any offset against the rent reserved in any Lease.

11.6 Grantor’s Acquisition of Interest in Leased Parcel. If Grantor acquires the fee or any other interest in any Land or Improvements originally subject to the Pledged Lease, then, such acquired interest shall immediately become subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust as fully and completely, and with the same effect, as if Grantor now owned it and as if this Deed of Trust specifically described it, without need for the delivery and/or recording of a supplement to this Deed of Trust or any other instrument. In the event of any such acquisition, the fee and leasehold interests in such Land or Improvements, unless Beneficiary elects otherwise in writing, remain separate and distinct and shall not merge, notwithstanding any principle of law to the contrary.

11.7 New Lease Issued to Agent. If the Pledged Lease is for any reason whatsoever terminated before the expiration of its term and, pursuant to any provision of the Pledged Lease, Beneficiary or its designee shall acquire from Lessor a new lease of the relevant leased premises, then Grantor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such new lease or the estate created thereby.

11.8 Event of Default. In addition to all other Events of Default described in this Deed of Trust, the occurrence of any of the following shall be an Event of Default hereunder:

(a) A breach or default by Grantor under the Pledged Lease, subject to any applicable cure period; or

(b) The occurrence of any event or circumstance which gives Lessor a right to terminate the Pledged Lease.

SECTION 13. RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE; OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRUSTEE

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deed of Trust, Grantor and Beneficiary agree as follows.

13.1 Exercise of Remedies by Trustee. To the extent that this Deed of Trust or applicable law authorizes or empowers Beneficiary to exercise any remedies set forth inSection 4 hereof or otherwise, or perform any acts in connection therewith, Trustee (but not to the exclusion of Beneficiary unless so required under the law of the State) shall have the power to exercise any or all such remedies, and to perform any acts provided for in this Deed of Trust in connection therewith, all for the benefit of Beneficiary and on Beneficiary’s behalf in accordance with applicable law of the State. In connection therewith, Trustee: (a) shall not exercise, or waive the exercise of, any Beneficiary’s remedies (other than any rights of Trustee to any indemnity or reimbursement), except at Beneficiary’s request, and (b) shall exercise, or waive the exercise of, any or all of Beneficiary’s remedies at Beneficiary’s request, and in accordance with Beneficiary’s directions as to the manner of such exercise or waiver. Trustee may, however, decline to follow Beneficiary’s request or direction if Trustee shall be advised by counsel that the action or proceeding, or manner thereof, so directed may not lawfully be taken or waived.

13.2 Rights and Privileges of Trustee.To the extent that this Deed of Trust requires Grantor to reimburse Beneficiary for any expenditures Beneficiary may incur, Trustee shall be entitled to the same rights to reimbursement of expenses as Beneficiary, subject to such limitations and conditions as would apply in the case of Beneficiary. To the extent that this Deed of Trust negates or limits Beneficiary’s liability as to any matter, Trustee shall be entitled to the same negation or limitation of liability. To the extent that Grantor, pursuant to this Deed of Trust, appoints Beneficiary as Grantor’s attorney in fact for any purpose, Beneficiary or (when so instructed by Beneficiary) Trustee shall be entitled to act on Grantor’s behalf without joinder or confirmation by the other.

13.3 Authority of Beneficiary. If Beneficiary is a banking corporation, state banking corporation or a national banking association and the instrument of appointment of any successor or replacement Trustee is executed on Beneficiary’s behalf by an officer of such corporation, state banking corporation or national banking association, then such appointment may be executed by any authorized officer or agent of Beneficiary and such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of Beneficiary.

Grantor agrees that, subject to the terms ofSection 9 hereof, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of Beneficiary, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien hereof shall not be impaired by any acceptance by Beneficiary of any security for or guarantees of the Obligations, or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of Beneficiary to realize upon or protect any Obligation or any collateral security therefor including the Other Mortgages. Subject to the terms ofSection 9 hereof, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall not in any manner be impaired or affected by any release (except as to the property released), sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, changing, modification or disposition of any of the Obligations or of any of the collateral security therefor, including the Other Mortgages or any guarantee thereof, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Beneficiary may at its discretion foreclose, exercise any power of sale, or exercise any other remedy available to it under any or all of the Other Mortgages without first exercising or enforcing any of its rights and remedies hereunder. Such exercise of Beneficiary’s rights and remedies under any or all of the Other Mortgages shall not in any manner impair the indebtedness hereby secured or the lien of this Deed of Trust and any exercise of the rights and

Deed of Trust - [County, State, Site ]

remedies of Beneficiary hereunder shall not impair the lien of any of the Other Mortgages or any of Beneficiary’s rights and remedies thereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor specifically consents and agrees that Beneficiary may exercise its rights and remedies hereunder and under the Other Mortgages separately or concurrently and in any order that it may deem appropriate and waives any right of subrogation.

FORM OF FLOOD NOTICE (NFIP PARTICIPATION)

STANDARD NOTIFICATION FORM


Borrower Name:
Property Address:
Property Address:


Loan Identifier:						Request #:

We are giving you this notice to inform you that:

•

The building or mobile home which secures or will secure the loan for which you have applied or for which you have requested a renewal, extension or increase, is located in an area prone to high flood risks that we call a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA).

•

The area has been identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as an SFHA using the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) or the Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM) for the community number . FIRMs are prepared by FEMA in cooperation with the applicable community to identify high flood risk and low-to-moderate flood risk areas. The SFHA in which the building or mobile home is located has at least a one percent chance of a flood equal to or exceeding the base flood elevation (a 100-year flood) in any given year. During the life of a 30-year mortgage loan, the risk of flooding in an SFHA is 26 percent.

•

Federal law allows a lender and borrower jointly to request the Administrator of FEMA to review the determination of whether the property securing the loan is located in an SFHA. If you would like to make such a request, please contact us for further information. Borrowers may also call a FEMA mapping specialist at (877) 336-2627 to discuss their concerns.

•

The community in which the property securing the loan is located participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”). Federal financial assistance, including FEMA disaster assistance, flood mitigation grants and federally backed mortgage lending is available in the NFIP participating communities. Mandatory flood insurance requirements are applicable to all Federal financial assistance. The mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements under section 102(b) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 are applicable to Federally regulated lenders making, renewing, extending or increasing loans in SFHAs. We will not make you the loan that you have applied for, or renew, extend or increase your existing loan if you do not purchase flood insurance. If you fail to renew flood insurance on the property, federal law authorizes and requires us to purchase the flood insurance for you at your expense. The flood insurance must be maintained for the life of your loan.

L-1

•

Flood insurance coverage under the NFIP may be purchased through an insurance agent who will obtain the policy either directly through the NFIP or through a Write Your Own (WYO) company that has agreed to write and service NFIP policies on behalf of FEMA.

•

Flood insurance that provides the same level of coverage as a NFIP policy may also be available from private insurers that are not federally backed.

•

We encourage you to compare the flood insurance coverage, deductibles, exclusions, conditions and premiums of an NFIP and a private insurance policy and to direct inquiries to your agent.

•

At a minimum, Federal law requires that flood insurance purchased must cover the lowest of: (1) the outstanding principal balance of the loan(s); or (2) the maximum amount of coverage allowed for the type of building and/or contents under the NFIP; or (3) the full replacement cost value (RCV) of the building and/or contents securing the loan. The market value or land value on which the building is located has no bearing on the RCV of the building.

•

The minimum flood insurance requirements of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. are different from the minimum flood insurance requirements specified in the foregoing paragraph and, in most cases, will exceed the amount of coverage required under Federal law.

•

Federal disaster relief assistance, the majority of which is in the form of a low-interest disaster assistance loan from the Small Business Administration (SBA), may be available for losses not covered by your flood insurance policy. Flood insurance requirements apply to recipients of Federal disaster assistance grants and SBA disaster assistance loans. If you are planning to build a structure or make repairs, contact the local community’s chief executive official to determine building standards for structures within an SFHA.

Acknowledgment

The undersigned acknowledges receipt of the foregoing Notice by signing below.

The undersigned agrees to furnish, at the undersigned’s expense, an application for flood insurance with acceptable proof of payment, a copy of the flood insurance policy or the declarations page from the policy satisfying our requirements on or before closing of the loan or the extension, renewal or increase of the loan. The undersigned agrees to maintain flood insurance during the life of the loan in the amount that we require.

FORM OF FLOOD NOTICE (NON-NFIP PARTICIPATION)

STANDARD NOTIFICATION FORM

Borrower Name

Property Address


Loan Identifier:						Request #:

We are giving you this notice to inform you that:

•

The building or mobile home which secures or will secure the loan for which you have applied or for which you have requested a renewal, extension or increase is located in area prone to high flood risks, also known as a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA).

•

Federal law allows a lender and borrower jointly to request the Administration of FEMA to review the determination of whether the property which secures or will secure the loan is located in an SFHA. If you would like to make such request, please contact us for further information. Borrowers may also call a FEMA mapping specialist at (877) 336-2627 to discuss their concerns.

•

The community in which the property securing the loan is located does not participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Federal flood insurance is not available. However, flood insurance that provides the same level of coverage as an NFIP policy may be available on a limited basis in the SFHAs of non-participating communities from private insurers that are not federally backed. We encourage you to direct inquiries concerning private flood insurance to your agent. Federal financial assistance including disaster assistance, grants, or loans and flood mitigation grants are not available in SFHAs of non-participating communities. For example, if the non-participating community has been identified for at least one year as containing an SFHA, properties located in the community will not be eligible for Federal disaster relief assistance in the event of a federally declared flood disaster.

•

Conventional loans that are not federally backed can be made on buildings in SFHAs of non-participating communities, if authorized by the regulatory authority of the lending institution. However, government guaranteed or insured loans (e.g., SBA, VA, and FHA loans) are not permitted to be made in non-participating communities, if secured by structures in SFHAs.

A non-participating community can join the NFIP - contact your local chief executive official for additional information.
