Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time;provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all accounting or financial terms used herein shall be construed, and all financial computations pursuant hereto shall be made, without giving effect to any election under any financial accounting standard to value any indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or financial requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Required Lenders);provided that, until so amended, (a) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (b) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement.

SECTION 1.05.Currency Equivalents.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Spot Selling Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent of Credit Extensions and Outstanding Amounts denominated in Alternate Currencies. Such Spot Selling Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Selling Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder or calculating financial ratios hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent as so determined by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in dollars, but such Borrowing or Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in an Alternate Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternate Currency Equivalent of such dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternate Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with Sections 6.02, 6.03 and 6.08 with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred;provided that, for the

avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.05 shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness or Investment may be incurred at any time under such Sections.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, the equivalent in dollars of any amount denominated in a currency other than dollars will be converted to dollars (i) with respect to income statement items, in a manner consistent with that used in calculating Consolidated Net Income in the Borrower’s latest financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) and (ii) with respect to balance sheet items, in a manner consistent with that used in calculating balance sheet items in the Borrower’s latest financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Swap Agreements for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar Equivalent of such Indebtedness.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. All Revolving Loans shall be denominated in dollars;provided,however, the Borrower may elect, by notice from Borrower to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.20 below, to borrow Revolving Loans in one or more Alternate Currencies up to $15,000,000 at any time outstanding.

SECTION 2.02.Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder;provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan;provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000.

Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time;provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding.

SECTION 2.03.Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing in dollars, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (b) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing in an Alternate Currency, not later than 11:00 a.m., London, England time, four (4) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, and (c) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing;provided that any such notice of an ABR Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing or (c) in the case of Alternate Currency Loans, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing.

(vii) that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(a) and (b) have been satisfied as of the date of the notice; and

(viii) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans in an Alternate Currency, the Alternate Currency for such Revolving Loans.

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

SECTION 2.04.Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Sublimit or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments;provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by in writing, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply,mutatismutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a

Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear;provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.05.Letters of Credit. (a) General. On the Closing Date, the Letters of Credit outstanding under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement having a stated amount of $10,988,000 and will automatically, without any action on the part of any Person, be continued and ratified as Letters of Credit issued hereunder on the Closing Date for the account of the Borrower (such Letters of Credit, the “Existing Letters of Credit”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit in dollars for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b)Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit;provided that no Existing Letter of Credit shall be amended, extended or renewed. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(c)Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is one year following the Maturity Date;provided that any Letters of Credit outstanding after the Maturity Date (A) are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.05(j), or (B) are backstopped by letters of credit issued in favor of the Administrative Agent to reimburse payments of drafts drawn down under such outstanding Letters of Credit, which letters of credit shall be in amounts, with terms and conditions and from issuers, in each case, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank.

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

(e)Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt;provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.01(a) or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply,mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Revolving Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or 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 Issuing Bank 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, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank;provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

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

(h)Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans;provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i)Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b).

From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j)Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Revolving Loans has been accelerated, Required Facility Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, (ii) any Letters of Credit are outstanding on the Maturity Date, or (iii) required pursuant to Section 2.11(c), in each case, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 105% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (or, if required by Section 2.11(c), an amount in cash equal necessary to remove any such excess, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon);provided that, with respect to the foregoing clause (i) the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Sections 7.01(g), 7.01(h) or 7.01(i). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Required Facility Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

SECTION 2.06.Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time (or 12:00 Noon, London time, with respect to Alternate Currency Loans), to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders;provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request;provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. The funding of all Revolving Loans which are denominated in an Alternate Currency shall also be subject to the provisions of Section 2.20.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07.Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Borrowings consisting of Alternate Currency Loans may not be converted to a different Type.

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

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

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

(v) that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02 have been satisfied as of the date of the notice; and

(vi) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Alternate Currency Loans, the Alternate Currency of such Borrowing.

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

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, except for Eurocurrency Borrowings consisting of Alternate Currency Loans.

SECTION 2.08.Amortization of Term Borrowings. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Term A Lenders, on the dates set forth in the chart below, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day (each such date, a “Term A Loan Repayment Date”), a principal amount of the Term A Loans equal to the amount set forth on chart below for such date (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.11(g)), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

SECTION 2.09.Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class;provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11(c), the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders of such Class in accordance with their respective Commitments. If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Revolving Commitments, the Swingline Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, such Swingline Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Except as provided above, the amount of any such Revolving Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Swingline Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrower.

(d) The Term Commitment of each Term A Lender was automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Term A Lenders Term A Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(b).

The Borrower agrees to repay all outstanding Revolving Loans in dollars (with respect to Revolving Loans made in dollars) or in the applicable Alternate Currency (with respect to Alternate Currency Loans), in any case on the Maturity Date.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period 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 for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (collectively, the “Notes”). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11.Optional and Mandatory Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part (in dollars, or in the applicable Alternate Currency, with respect to Alternate Currency Loans), subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 2.11.

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) in writing of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment or (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Alternate Currency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, four (4) Business Days before the date of prepayment.

Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing;provided that each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied pro rata to each Class of Term Loans (based upon the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Classes of Term Loans) and to the remaining installments of each Class in direct order of maturity;providedfurther that (x) in the case of a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a), in lieu of such application on a pro rata basis to each Class of Term Loans, at any time the Borrower may, at its option, direct that such prepayment be applied (in which case it shall be applied) (A) first, to then outstanding Term A Loans until all then outstanding Term A Loans have been repaid in full, and (B) thereafter, to the successive Class or Classes of Term Loans with the then next earliest Maturity Date (ratably among such Classes, if multiple Classes exist with the same Maturity Date), until all such Term Loans have been repaid in full, and so on, and (y) it is understood and agreed that this proviso may be modified as expressly provided in Sections 2.21 and 2.23 in connection with an Extension Amendment or a Refinancing Amendment, as the case may be. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

(c)Revolving Loan Prepayments.

(i) In the event of the termination of all the Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Borrowings and all outstanding Swingline Loans and replace all outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j).

(ii) In the event of any partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments, then (x) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders of the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures after giving effect thereto and (y) if the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction,first, repay or prepay Swingline Loans,second, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings andthird, replace outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(iii) In the event that the sum of all Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the Revolving Commitments then in effect (including on any date on which Dollar Equivalents are determined pursuant to Section 9.17), the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediatelyfirst, repay or prepay Swingline Loans,second, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings, andthird, replace outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(v) In the event that the aggregate Swingline Exposure exceeds the Swingline Sublimit, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately repay or prepay Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(vi) In the event that the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of Alternate Currency Loans exceeds $15,000,000, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately repay or prepay Alternate Currency Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(d)Asset Sales. Not later than five (5) Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall make prepayments in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds;provided that:

(i) no such prepayment shall be required under this Section 2.11(d) with respect to Net Cash Proceeds to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds (A) result from any Asset Sale permitted by Sections 6.05(a), 6.05(b), 6.05(c), 6.05(e), 6.05(f) (other than with respect to Section 6.04(iv)), 6.05(h)(i), 6.05(h)(iii), 6.05(i), 6.05(j), 6.05(m) and 6.05(p), (B) result from the disposition of property which constitutes a Casualty Event, or (C) do not exceed $5,000,000 in any fiscal year of the Borrower (it being understood that the maximum amount of Asset Sales permitted by this clause (C) and Section 6.05(m) are additive for purposes of this Section 2.11(d)(i)); and

(ii) so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall arise therefrom, such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that Borrower shall have delivered an Officers’ Certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Cash Proceeds (or a portion thereof), in the good faith judgment of senior management of the Borrower, are intended to be reinvested in assets useful for the business of the Borrower or any other Loan Party within 12 months following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (which Officers’ Certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended);provided that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds is not so reinvested within such 12-month period (or if committed to be reinvested within such 12-month period, have not been applied within 180 days of the end of such 12-month period) or if at any time prior thereto senior management of the Borrower determines that any such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended or cannot be so reinvested, such unused portion shall be applied on the last day of such period or the date of such determination as a mandatory prepayment as provided in this Section 2.11(d);provided,further, that if the property subject to such Asset Sale constituted Collateral, then all property purchased with the Net Cash Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be made subject to the Lien of the applicable Security Documents in favor of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in accordance with Section 5.10.

(e)Casualty Events. Not later than five (5) Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from a Casualty Event by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in excess of $5,000,000 in any fiscal year, the Borrower shall make prepayments in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds;provided that so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or arise therefrom, such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that Borrower shall have delivered an Officers’ Certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior

to such date stating that such Net Cash Proceeds (or a portion thereof), in the good faith judgment of senior management of the Borrower, are intended to be used to repair, replace or restore any property in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid or to reinvest in other assets useful for the business of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, no later than 12 months following the date of receipt of such proceeds;providedfurther, that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds is not so reinvested within such 12-month period (or if committed to be reinvested within such 12-month period, have not been applied within 180 days of the end of such 12-month period) or if at any time prior thereto senior management of the Borrower determines that any such any such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended or cannot be so reinvested, such unused portion shall be applied on the last day of such period or the date of such determination as a mandatory prepayment as provided in this Section 2.11(e);providedstillfurther, that if the property subject to such Casualty Event constituted Collateral under the Security Documents, then all property purchased with the Net Cash Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be made subject to the Lien of the applicable Security Documents in favor of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in accordance with Section 5.10.

(f)Issuance of Indebtedness.

(i) Not later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Indebtedness issued or incurred after the Closing Date (other than as permitted by Section 6.02 (excluding Section 6.02(v))) by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.11(g) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(ii) If the Borrower incurs or issues any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, the Borrower shall, substantially contemporaneously with such incurrence or issuance, prepay Term Loans in an aggregate Dollar Amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind or amend any notice of prepayment under this Section 2.11(f)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from an issuance of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, which issuance shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(g)Application of Prepayments. Mandatory prepayments shall be appliedfirst pro rata to each Class of Term Loans outstanding (based upon the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Classes of Term Loans) and, after the Term Loans outstanding have been prepaid in full,then, to the Revolving Loans outstanding, without any reduction of the Revolving Commitments. Any prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied to reduce scheduled repayments required under Section 2.08, pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of such scheduled repayments. Any prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.11(d), 2.11(e) or 2.11(f) shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the repayments remaining to be made on each other Term Loan Repayment Date. Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.11(g) to the prepayment of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be applied, as applicable,first, to reduce outstanding ABR Term Loans and,then, ABR Revolving Loans. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay Eurocurrency Term Loans or Eurocurrency Revolving Loans, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under this Section 2.11(g) shall be in excess of the amount of the ABR Loans at the time outstanding (an “Excess Amount”), only the portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the amount of such outstanding ABR Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of Borrower, the Excess Amount shall be either (i) deposited in an escrow account on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and applied to the prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans on the last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans;provided that (A) interest in respect of such Excess Amount shall continue to accrue thereon at the rate provided hereunder for the Loans which such Excess Amount is intended to repay until such Excess

Amount shall have been used in full to repay such Loans and (B) at any time while a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and upon written direction from the Required Lenders shall, apply any or all proceeds then on deposit to the payment of such Loans in an amount equal to such Excess Amount or (ii) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 2.16.

(h)Declined Prepayments. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Sections 2.11(d) and 2.11(e) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Term Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Term Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment. Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Sections 2.11(d) and 2.11(e) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day after the date of such Term Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be offered to the Term Lenders not so declining such prepayment on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Dollar Amounts of the Term Loans of such Lender (with such non-declining Term Lenders having the right to decline any prepayment with Declined Proceeds at the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent). To the extent such non-declining Term Lenders elect to decline their pro rata share of such Declined Proceeds, any Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter shall be retained by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.12.Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates;provided that, if such Revolving Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Revolving Commitment terminates, then such commitment fee shall continue to accrue on the average daily unused amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its Revolving Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments expire or terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof;provided that any commitment fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees with respect to Revolving Commitments, a Revolving Commitment of a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Revolving Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Loans on the average daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion

thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a LC Fronting Fee accruing on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date;provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and the LC Fronting Fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13.Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments;provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base

Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) All interest paid or payable pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be paid in the Approved Currency in which the Loan giving rise to such interest is denominated.

SECTION 2.14.Alternate Rate of Interest; Illegality. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders in writing as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing;provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

(c) If any Lender reasonably determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (whether denominated in dollars or an Alternate Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars or any Alternate Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or convert all Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging

interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

SECTION 2.15.Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Other Connection Taxes on gross or net income, profits or revenue (including value-added or similar Taxes));

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient (as determined in such Lender or other Recipient’s good faith discretion) of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank 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, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines (in its good faith discretion) that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’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 the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

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

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation;provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, 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 the Issuing Bank’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 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16.Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits (or deposits of an Alternate Currency) of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17.Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. (a) Each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, if any, a copy of the return reporting such payment, if any, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with any Loan Document (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.17(d)) 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. The indemnity under this Section 2.17(d) shall be paid within ten (10) days after the Recipient delivers to any Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent.

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.17(e) shall be paid within ten (10) days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(f)Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. 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 2.17(f)(ii)(A) through (E) 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. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a U.S. Person, any Lender with respect to the Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(D) 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 both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such 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 (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(E) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender;provided,however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or

(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.17(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)Issuing Bank. For purposes of Section 2.17(e) and (f), the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.18.Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars, except for payments of Alternate Currency Loans, which shall by made in the applicable Alternate Currency in which such Alternate Currency Loan was made.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Alternate Currency Participation or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term

Loans, Revolving Loans, Alternate Currency Participation and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Alternate Currency Participations and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Alternate Currency Participations and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans;provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or 2.05(e), 2.06(a), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.19.Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender determines that it is unlawful for it to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Loans pursuant to Section 2.14(c), then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and

would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, if Borrower exercises its replacement rights under Section 9.02(c), or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, Alternate Currency Participations and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.20.Alternate Currency Loans; Intra-Lender Issues.

(a)Alternate Currency Participations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Alternate Currency Loans shall be made solely by the Revolving Lenders with Alternate Currency Funding Capacity, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Applicable Percentage hereunder. Each Revolving Lender that does not have Alternate Currency Funding Capacity (in each case, a “Participating Alternate Currency Lender”), shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and acquire from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as the sole fronting bank, (such Lender hereinafter referred to as the “Fronting Alternative Currency Lender”), and shall be deemed to irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and acquire from the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender, and the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender shall sell and be deemed to sell to each such Participating Alternate Currency Lender, without recourse or any representation or warranty whatsoever, an undivided interest and participation (an “Alternate Currency Participation”) in each Alternate Currency Revolving Loan funded by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender in an amount equal to such Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan. Such purchase and sale of an Alternate Currency Participation shall be deemed to occur automatically upon the making of an Alternate Currency Revolving Loan by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender, without any further notice to any Participating Alternate Currency Lender. The purchase price payable by each Participating Alternate Currency Lender to the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender for each Alternate Currency Participation purchased by it from the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Alternate Currency Participation (i.e., the product of (i) the amount of the relevant Alternate Currency Revolving Loan and (ii) such Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s Applicable Percentage), and such purchase price shall be payable by each Participating Alternate Currency Lender to the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender in accordance with the settlement procedure set forth in Section 2.20(b) below. The Fronting Alternate Currency Lender and Administrative Agent shall record on their books the amount of the Alternate Currency Loans made by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender and each Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s Alternate Currency Participation

and Funded Alternate Currency Participation therein, all payments in respect thereof and interest accrued thereon and all payments made by and to each Participating Alternate Currency Lender pursuant to this Section 2.20.

(b)Settlement Procedures for Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Participations. Each Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s Alternate Currency Participation in the Alternate Currency Loans shall be in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of all such Alternate Currency Loans. However, in order to facilitate the administration of the Alternate Currency Loans made by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender and the Alternate Currency Participations, settlement among the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender and the Participating Alternate Currency Lenders with regard to the Participating Alternate Currency Lenders’ Alternate Currency Participations shall take place in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) The Fronting Alternate Currency Lender and the Participating Alternate Currency Lenders shall settle (an “Alternate Currency Participation Settlement”) by payments in respect of the Alternate Currency Participations as follows: So long as any Alternate Currency Loans are outstanding, Alternate Currency Participation Settlements shall be effected through Administrative Agent on such Business Days as Administrative Agent shall specify by a notice in writing to each Participating Alternate Currency Lender requesting such Alternate Currency Participation Settlement (each such date on which an Alternate Currency Participation Settlement occurs herein called an “Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date”), such notice to be delivered no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date;provided that Administrative Agent shall have the option but not the obligation to specify an Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date and, in any event, shall not specify an Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default;provided,further, that if (x) such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms hereof, (y) no Obligations have yet been declared due and payable under Section 7.02 and (z) Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of such cure or waiver, all prior to Administrative Agent’s giving notice to the Participating Alternate Currency Lenders of the first Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date under this Agreement, then Administrative Agent shall not give notice to the Participating Alternate Currency Lenders of an Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date based upon such cured or waived Event of Default. If on any Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date the total principal amount of the Alternate Currency Loans made or deemed made by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender during the period ending on (but excluding) such Alternate Currency Settlement Date and commencing on (and including) the immediately preceding Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date (or the Closing Date in the case of the period ending on the first Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date) (each such period herein called a “Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Period”) is greater than the principal amount of Alternate Currency Loans repaid during such Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Period to the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender, each Participating Alternate Currency Lender shall pay to the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender (through the Administrative Agent), no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date, an amount equal to such Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s ratable share of the amount of such excess. If in any Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Period the outstanding principal amount of the Alternate Currency Loans repaid to the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender in such period exceeds the total principal amount of the Alternate Currency Loans made or deemed made by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender during such period, the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender shall pay to each Participating Alternate Currency Lender (through Administrative Agent) on such Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date an amount equal to such Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s ratable share of such excess.

Alternate Currency Participation Settlements in respect of Alternate Currency Loans shall be made in the respective Alternate Currency (or Dollar Equivalent) in which such Alternate Currency Loan was funded on the Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date for such Alternate Currency Loans.

(ii) If any Participating Alternate Currency Lender fails to pay to the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender on any Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date the full amount required to be paid by such Participating Alternate Currency Lender to the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender on such Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date in respect of such Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s Alternate Currency Participation (such Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s “Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Amount”) with the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender, the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender shall be entitled to recover such unpaid amount from such Participating Alternate Currency Lender, together with interest thereon (in the same respective currency or currencies as the relevant Alternate Currency Loans) at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation with respect to Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency. Without limiting the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender’s rights to recover from any Participating Alternate Currency Lender any unpaid Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Amount payable by such Participating Alternate Currency Lender to the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender, Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to withhold from amounts otherwise payable to such Participating Alternate Currency Lender an amount equal to such Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s unpaid Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Amount owing to the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender and apply such withheld amount to the payment of any unpaid Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Amount owing by such Participating Alternate Currency Lender to the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender.

(iii) Whenever, at any time after the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender has received from any Participating Alternate Currency Lender such Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Amount, the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender receives any payment on account of the Alternate Currency Loans, the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender will distribute to such Participating Alternate Currency Lender its Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s Alternate Currency Participation was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Alternate Currency Loans then due);provided,however, that in the event that such payment received by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender is required to be returned, such Participating Alternate Currency Lender will return to the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender.

(iv) Following the first Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall effect an Alternate Currency Participation Settlement on each subsequent Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date or within one (1) Business Day thereafter.

(c)Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of each Participating Alternate Currency Lender to purchase from the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender a participation in each Alternate Currency Revolving Loan made by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender. and to make payments to the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender with respect to such participation, in each case as

provided herein, shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or of any Revolving Loans, against the Borrower or any Loan Party;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower or any other Loan Party may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, any Participating Alternate Currency Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Alternate Currency Loans, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions;

(iii) any application or misapplication of any proceeds of any Alternate Currency Loans;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for any Alternate Currency Loans;

(v) the occurrence of any Default;

(vi) the commencement or pendency of any events specified in Sections 7.01(g), 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) hereof, in respect of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or any other Person; or

(vii) the failure to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 hereof.

(d)Recovery or Avoidance of Payments. In the event any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party received by Administrative Agent with respect to any Alternate Currency Revolving Loan made by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Administrative Agent in connection with any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, or due to any mistake of law or fact, each Participating Alternate Currency Lender shall, upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay to the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender (through Administrative Agent) such Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s pro rata share of such amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together with interest at the rate and in the currency required to be paid by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender or Administrative Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by it.

(e)Indemnification by Lenders. Each Participating Alternate Currency Lender agrees to indemnify the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document) ratably for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender in any way relating to or arising out of any Alternate Currency Loans or any action taken or omitted by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender in connection therewith;provided that no Participating Alternate Currency Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, each Participating Alternate Currency Lender agrees to reimburse the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender promptly upon demand for such Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s ratable share of any costs or expenses payable by the Borrower to the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender in respect of the Alternate Currency Loans to the extent that the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender is not promptly reimbursed for

such costs and expenses by the Borrower. The agreement contained in this Section 2.20(e) shall survive payment in full of all Alternate Currency Loans.

(f)Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Participation Fee. In consideration for each Participating Alternate Currency Lender’s participation in the Alternate Currency Loans made by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender, the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender agrees to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Participating Alternate Currency Lender, as and when the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender receives payment of interest on its Alternate Currency Loans, a fee (the “Alternate Currency Participation Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on such Alternate Currency Loans minus 0.25% on the Unfunded Alternate Currency Participation of such Participating Alternate Currency Lender in such Alternate Currency Loans of the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender. The Alternate Currency Participation Fee in respect of any Unfunded Alternate Currency Participation in an Alternate Currency Revolving Loan shall be payable to Administrative Agent in an Alternate Currency when interest on such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan is received by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender. If the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender does not receive payment in full of such interest, the Alternate Currency Participation Fee in respect of the Unfunded Alternate Currency Participation in such Alternate Currency Loans shall be reduced proportionately. Any amounts payable under this Section 2.20 by the Administrative Agent to the Participating Alternate Currency Lenders shall be paid in the Alternate Currency in which the respective Alternate Currency Loan was funded (or, if different, the currency in which such interest payments are actually received).

(g)Defaulting Lenders; etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, (x) no Lender may become a Participating Alternate Currency Lender at any time it is a Defaulting Lender, and (y) if any Participating Alternate Currency Lender at any time becomes a Defaulting Lender or if the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender reasonably determines that the credit quality of any then existing Participating Alternate Currency Lender has suffered a material adverse change, the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender shall have the right to, by notice to the affected Lender, (i) terminate such Lender’s status as a Participating Alternate Currency Lender for Revolving Loans, (ii) declare a Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date to occur with respect to such affected Lender and (iii) require such Participating Alternate Currency Lender to cash collateralize (in the relevant Alternate Currency) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of outstanding Alternate Loans and if such Lender fails to cash collateralize such Loans, upon two (2) days’ notice require the Borrower to cash-collateralize (in the relevant Alternate Currency) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of outstanding Alternate Currency Loans.

SECTION 2.21.Extension of Term Loans; Extension of Revolving Commitments.

(a)Extension of Term Loans. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of a given Class (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be amended to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so amended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.21. 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 under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (y) be identical to the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are to be amended, except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan

Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Effective Yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); and (iv) Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection) as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof;provided that no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which all Term Loans with an earlier final stated maturity (including Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they were amended) are repaid in full, unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of such other Term Loans;provided,however, that (A) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any other Term Loans hereunder, (B) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any other Term Loans then outstanding (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of such Term Loans prior to the incurrence of the Extended Term Loans of such Term Loan Extension Series), and (C) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement;provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Tranche. Each Term Loan Extension Series of Extended Term Loans incurred under this Section 2.21 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $50,000,000.

(b)Extension of Revolving Commitments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments of a given Class (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the Maturity Date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Revolving Commitments (any such Revolving Commitments which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.21. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche) (each, a “Revolver Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) be identical to the Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche from which such Extended Revolving Commitments are to be amended, except that: (i) the Maturity Date of the Extended Revolving Commitments may be delayed to a later date than the Maturity Date of the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Effective Yield with respect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield for extensions of credit under the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving

Commitments); and (iv) all borrowings under the applicable Revolving Commitments (i.e., the Existing Revolver Tranche and the Extended Revolving Commitments of the applicable Revolver Extension Series) and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the non-extending Revolving Commitments);provided that in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Revolver Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any other Revolving Commitments hereunder. Any Extended Revolving Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolver Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement;provided that any Extended Revolving Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. Each Revolver Extension Series of Extended Revolving Commitments incurred under this Section 2.21(b) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000.

(c)Extension Request. The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.21. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche amended into Extended Term Loans or any of its Revolving Commitments amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to any Extension Request. Any existing Term Lender wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans and any Revolving Lender (each, an “Extending Revolving Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, in respect of which applicable Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election.

(d)New Revolving Commitment.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time, upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, banks, financial institutions or other institutional lenders or investors (“New Revolving Commitment Lenders”), which may or may not be then-existing Revolving Lenders, may elect to provide a new Revolving Commitment (a “New Revolving Commitment”) hereunder;provided that, the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such banks, financial

institutions or other institutional lenders or investors providing such New Revolving Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Revolving Commitments to such Person. Such New Revolving Commitment will be in an amount (the “New Revolving Amount”) and have the terms specified in the notice to the Administrative Agent;provided that the terms of any New Revolving Commitment shall satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 2.21(b) with respect to Extended Revolving Commitments, mutatis mutandis, as though such New Revolving Commitment were an Extended Revolving Commitment with respect to an Existing Revolver Tranche.

(ii) Upon receipt of a New Revolving Commitment, (A) the Borrower shall make a Revolver Extension Request to all existing Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes being extended to extend the maturity date of their Revolving Commitments on the same terms as the New Revolving Commitment (each Revolving Lender that accepts such Revolver Extension Request, an “Electing Lender”, and each existing Revolving Lender that is not an Electing Lender, a “Non-Electing Lender”). Following such election Electing Lenders will take on a pro rata portion of the New Revolving Commitments and (i) the Revolving Commitments of all applicable existing Revolving Lenders will be permanently reduced by an aggregate amount equal to the New Revolving Amount in the manner specified by Section 2.09(c) and (B) the New Revolving Commitments of the New Revolving Commitment Lenders and the Electing Lenders will become effective. For the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to such New Revolving Commitments (“Post-Effectiveness”), (1) the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments of all Classes derived from each Class in effect prior to such New Revolving Commitments will be the same as the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments of each Class in effect prior to giving effect to such New Revolving Commitments (“Pre- Effectiveness”), (2) the Revolving Lenders that are Non-Electing Lenders will have Revolving Commitments with the same terms as the Revolving Commitment in effect Pre-Effectiveness and (3) the Revolving Lenders that are Electing Lenders will have Revolving Commitments with the same terms as the New Revolving Commitment. Subject to the foregoing, the New Revolving Commitments of the New Revolving Commitment Lenders will otherwise be incorporated as Revolving Commitments hereunder in the same manner in which Extended Revolving Commitments are incorporated hereunder pursuant to this Section 2.21, and for the avoidance of doubt, all Borrowings and repayments of Revolving Loans after the effectiveness of a New Revolving Commitment shall be made pro rata across all applicable Classes of Revolving Commitments including such New Revolving Commitment (based on the outstanding principal amounts of the respective Classes of Revolving Commitments) except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates for each Class of Revolving Commitments (and related Outstanding Amounts), and (II) repayments required on the Maturity Date for any particular Class of Revolving Commitments.

(iii) (A) Upon the effectiveness of each New Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.21, each Revolving Lender of all applicable existing Classes of Revolving Commitments immediately prior to such effectiveness will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each New Revolving Commitment Lender, and each such New Revolving Commitment Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Revolving Lender of each applicable Class of Revolving Commitments (including each such New Revolving Commitment Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all applicable Classes of Revolving Lenders represented by such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and (B) if, on the date of such effectiveness, there are any Revolving Loans

outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such New Revolving Commitment be prepaid. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(e)Extension Amendment. Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments and New Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender, Extending Revolving Lender or New Revolving Commitment Lender, as applicable, providing an Extended Term Loan, Extended Revolving Commitment or New Revolving Commitment, as applicable, thereunder which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Sections 2.21(a), 2.21(b) or 2.21(d) above, respectively (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(a), 4.02(b) and 4.02(c) and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments or New Revolving Commitments, as applicable, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments or New Revolving Commitments, as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.08 with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.08), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.11 (other than 2.11(c)) to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, (iv) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of the fifth paragraph of Section 9.02(c) (without the consent of the Required Lenders called for therein) and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21(e), and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.

(f) No conversion of Loans pursuant to any Extension in accordance with this Section 2.21 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.22.Incremental Credit Extensions. (a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request (i) one or more additional tranches of term loans or, if reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, an increase of an existing tranche (the “Incremental Term Loans”), or (ii) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”);provided that upon

the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below and at the time any Incremental Term Loan is made (after giving effect thereto), (x) no Default has occurred and is continuing, and (y) the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Borrower a Compliance Certificate demonstrating a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of no more than 3.0 to 1.0 both immediately before and after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan and/or Revolving Commitment Increase on a Pro Forma Basis for the most recently completed Measurement Period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) and the Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c). Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans and each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Loans and the Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed $150,000,000. The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Loans and the Term A Loans made on the Closing Date, (ii) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date with respect to the Term A Loans made on the Closing Date and (iii) shall be treated substantially the same as the Term A Loans made on the Closing Date (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments),provided that (x) the terms and conditions applicable to Incremental Term Loans shall be identical to those applicable to those of the Term A Loans set forth herein (other than interest rates and amortization schedule) and (y) the interest rates and amortization schedule applicable to the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof;provided that the Incremental Term Loans shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than that of the Term A Loans made on the Closing Date (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of such Term Loans prior to the time of such incurrence). Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Revolving Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Term Lender will have an obligation to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan and no existing Revolving Lender will have an obligation to provide a portion of any Revolving Commitment Increase), in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.22 and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, or by any other lender (any such other lender being called an “Additional Lender”),provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented, and in the case of each Revolving Commitment Increase, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Revolving Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders or Loan Parties, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of (and, in the case of any Incremental Amendment for an Incremental Term Loan, the borrowing under) any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Credit Extension” or similar language in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree.

(b) The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. Upon each increase

in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.22, (i) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Commitment Increase (each a “Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”), and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and Alternate Currency Participations such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (A) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit, (B) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each Revolving Lender (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender), and (C) Alternate Currency Participations will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders represented by such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (ii) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

SECTION 2.23.Refinancing Amendments. At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain from any Lender or any Additional Refinancing Lender Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for this purpose will be deemed to include any then outstanding Refinancing Term Loans), in the form of Refinancing Term Loans, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment;provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Term Loans and Term Commitments hereunder, (ii) will have such pricing and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iii) except as may be agreed to by the Lenders and Additional Refinancing Lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in the respective Refinancing Amendment (but solely as it relates to such Lenders waiving their pro rata share of any applicable prepayment or repayment), each Class of Refinancing Term Loans shall be prepaid and repaid on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) with all voluntary prepayments and mandatory prepayments of the other Classes of Term Loans, it being understood that the amortization schedule applicable to the Refinancing Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders providing the Refinancing Term Loans and (iv) except as provided in clauses (ii) and (iii) above or as provided below, shall have covenants, events of default, guarantees, collateral and other terms which are substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders of such Refinancing Term Loans than, the Refinanced Debt;provided further that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is issued, incurred or obtained. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(a), 4.02(b) and 4.02(c) and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or

such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (including Mortgage amendments) in order to ensure that the Refinancing Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. Each tranche of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.23 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $50,000,000. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Term Loans and Term Commitments subject thereto as Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Term Commitments), (ii) provide certain class protection to the Lenders and Additional Refinancing Lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to voluntary prepayments and mandatory prepayments, (iii) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of the fifth paragraph of Section 9.02(c) (without the consent of the Required Lenders called for therein) and (iv) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment.

SECTION 2.24.Defaulting 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) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02, except as set forth therein);

(c) if any Swingline Exposure, Alternate Currency Participation or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure, Alternate Currency Participation and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders (it being understood that the portion of such Alternate Currency Participation reallocated to non-Defaulting Lenders that are not Participating Alternate Currency Lenders shall remain as such until the Alternate Currency Participation Settlement Date has occurred with respect to such Alternate Currency Participation) in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure, Alternate Currency Participation and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ 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 Swingline Exposure, (y) second, prepay such Alternate Currency Participation, and (z) third, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving

effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.24(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.24(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

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

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

SECTION 2.25.Term Loan Repurchase. (a) The Borrower may purchase, on one or more occasions, any and all of the Term A Loans (each, a “Term Loan Repurchase”) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 2.25 (the transactions described in this Section 2.25, collectively, the “Modified Dutch Auctions” and each individually, a “Modified Dutch Auction”). In connection with any Term Loan Repurchase, the Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent and, upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Term Lenders (the “Repurchase Notice”), that the Borrower desires to purchase Term A Loans with proceeds in an aggregate amount specified by the Borrower (such amount or the proceeds necessary to repurchase such lesser amount of Term A Loans as are actually offered by Lenders in such Modified Dutch Auction, each, a “Repurchase Amount”) at a discount (which is expected to be within a range to be specified by the Borrower with respect to each Term Loan Repurchase; the “Discount Range”) equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of such Term A Loans;provided that the par principal amount of the Term A Loans desired to be repurchased by the Borrower in each Modified Dutch Auction shall be not less than $10,000,000 in the aggregate (it being understood that the par principal amount of the Term A Loans actually repurchased may be less than $10,000,000 in the event that the aggregate par principal amount of Term A Loans actually offered by Lenders in such Modified Dutch Auction is less than $10,000,000).

(b) In connection with a Term Loan Repurchase, the Borrower will allow each Lender of Term A Loans to specify a discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”) within the Discount Range for a principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of Term A Loans at which such Lender is willing to permit such Term Loan Repurchase. Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of Term A Loans specified by Lenders, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, will determine the applicable discount (the “Applicable Discount”) for any Term Loan Repurchase, which Applicable Discount represents the greatest Acceptable Discount at which the Borrower can complete the Term Loan Repurchase for the Repurchase Amount that is within the Discount Range specified by the Borrower. The Borrower shall repurchase Term A Loans (or the respective portions thereof) offered by Lenders that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Term Loans”) at the Applicable Discount;provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to repurchase Qualifying Term Loans (disregarding any interest payable under Section 2.13) would exceed the Repurchase Amount for such Term Loan Repurchase, the Borrower shall repurchase such Qualifying Term Loans at the Applicable Discount ratably based on the respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Term Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent).

(c) All Term A Loans purchased by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.25 shall be accompanied by payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so purchased to, but not including, the date of purchase.

(d) The par principal amount of each Lender’s Term A Loan repurchased by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.25, shall be allocated across the remaining installments of such Lender’s Term A Loans that remain outstanding, in order to ratably reduce such remaining installments.

(e) Each Term Loan Repurchase shall be consummated pursuant to procedures (including as to timing of any issuance of a Repurchase Notice, response deadlines, rounding amounts, type and Interest Period of accepted Loans, irrevocability of any Repurchase Notice and other notices by the Borrower and Lenders and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with clause (b) above) established by the Administrative Agent and agreed to by the Borrower.

(f) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions described in this Section 2.25 notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.11,

2.18, 6.08 (it being understood that the Term Loan Repurchases shall not constitute Investments under this Agreement) and 9.08) and any other Loan Document that might otherwise result in a breach of this Agreement or a Default as a result of or in connection with the Modified Dutch Auctions.

(g) The provisions of this Section 2.25 shall not require the Borrower to undertake any Term Loan Repurchase.

(h) The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that immediately upon each Term Loan Repurchase, the Term A Loan repurchased as part of such Term Loan Repurchase shall be cancelled in an amount equal to the par principal amount of such Term A Loan and the parties hereto hereby agree that thereafter each such Term A Loan shall not be considered to be outstanding (and may not be resold by the Borrower) for any purposes under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents. In addition, neither the Borrower nor any Loan Party shall be deemed to be, for any purposes whatsoever, a “Lender” hereunder or under any other Loan Document as a result of any Modified Dutch Auction or Term Loan Repurchase thereunder.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties.

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

SECTION 3.01.Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted, and (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except in jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.02.Authorization; Enforceability. Each of the Transactions is within the power and authority of (a) each Loan Party party to the Transactions and (b) on and after the date on which any Foreign Subsidiary has had any of its Voting Stock pledged to secure the Obligations, such Foreign Subsidiary, and, in case of each of clause (a) and (b), has been duly authorized by all necessary organizational and, if required, action of the holders of such Person’s Equity Interests. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Borrower and any Subsidiary party thereto and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and of such Subsidiary, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03.Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.03, none of the Transactions (a) require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) violate any applicable Requirement of Law or Constituent Documents of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) violate or result in a default under any material Contractual Obligation binding upon the Borrower or any Subsidiary or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, and (d) will result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents and the Liens created on March 2, 2007 to secure the Senior Convertible Notes).

SECTION 3.04.Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, and accompanied by an unqualified report from Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011, certified by its chief financial officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has any material Guarantees, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long term leases or unusual forward or long term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph.

(b) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2011 (including the notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the consummation of the Refinancing, (ii) the Loans to be made on the Closing Date and the use of proceeds thereof and (iii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the best information available to the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2011, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.

(c) Since December 31, 2010, there has been no development, event or circumstance that has had or could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.05.Properties. (a) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has (i) fee simple title to all of its owned Real Property and valid leasehold interests in all of its leased Real Property and (ii) good title to all of its personal property material to its business, except for minor defects in title that could not individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except Permitted Liens.

(b) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property reasonably necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.05(b), no material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such intellectual property or the validity or enforceability of any such intellectual property, nor does the Borrower have actual knowledge of any valid basis for any such claim; nor does the use thereof by the Borrower or any Subsidiary infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) No Mortgage encumbers improved Real Property that is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area unless flood insurance available under such Act has been obtained in accordance with Section 5.05.

SECTION 3.06.Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary (a) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (b) that involve any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions.

SECTION 3.07.Environmental Matters. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (other than as set forth on Schedule 3.07):

(a) To the knowledge of the Borrower and each Subsidiary, there are no Materials of Environmental Concern located at, in, on, under, around or migrating from the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the Borrower and each Subsidiary (the “Properties”), in amounts or concentrations or under circumstances that constitute or constituted a violation of, or could give rise to liability of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under, any Environmental Law;

(b) neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received or is aware of any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability pursuant to Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the business operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary (the “Business”), nor does the Borrower have knowledge that any such notice will be received or is being threatened;

(c) to the knowledge of the Borrower and each Subsidiary, Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed from the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location that could give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on, under, or around any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could give rise to liability of any Loan Party under, any applicable Environmental Law;

(d) no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which any Loan Party is or will be named as a party or subject to Environmental Liability with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business;

(e) to the knowledge of the Borrower and each Subsidiary, there has been no release or threat of release of Materials of Environmental Concern at or from the Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with the Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in violation of or in amounts or in a manner that could give rise to Environmental Liability of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under Environmental Laws;

(f) to the knowledge of the Borrower and each Subsidiary, the Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance, and have in the last five years been in material compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no violation of Environmental Law with respect to the Business; and

(g) neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has assumed any liability of any other Person under Environmental Laws.

SECTION 3.08.Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Requirements of Law applicable to it or its property and all

Contractual Obligations binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.09.Investment Company Status. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 3.10.Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all material Federal, state and other Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on such Tax returns and all other material Taxes imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority, and no Tax Lien has been filed and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such Tax, except (a) amounts that are not yet delinquent, (b) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP, or (c) claims set forth on Schedule 3.10.

SECTION 3.11.ERISA. Each of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in material liability of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their ERISA Affiliates or the imposition of a Lien on any of the property of any Company. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $10,000,000 the Fair Market Value of the property of all such underfunded Plans. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of each Company or its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.12.Disclosure. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have disclosed to the Lenders in writing all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is subject that have been requested by the Lenders, and all facts, circumstances and other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Information Memorandum nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information (excluding, subject to the second sentence of this Section 3.12, projections and estimates) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or in connection herewith (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contained as of the date when furnished (or, in the case of the Information Memorandum, as of the date of this Agreement), any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein and therein, not materially misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made. The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount.

SECTION 3.13.Federal Reserve Regulations. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit

for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X. The pledge of the Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to the Security Agreement does not violate such regulations.

SECTION 3.14.Labor Matters. As of the Closing Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the Borrower or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened. Except as provided on Schedule 3.14, the hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Borrower or any Subsidiary have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any other applicable federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters in any manner that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or any Subsidiary except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound.

SECTION 3.15.Subsidiaries. (a) Schedule 3.15(a) sets forth a list of (i) all the Subsidiaries and their jurisdictions of organization as of the Closing Date and (ii) the number of each class of each Subsidiary’s Equity Interests authorized, and the number and percentage outstanding, on the Closing Date and the number of shares covered by all outstanding options, warrants, rights of conversion or purchase and similar rights at the Closing Date, other than stock options granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares, in each case, as permitted by Section 6.06. All Equity Interests of the Borrower and each Subsidiary are duly and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, and, other than the Equity Interests of Borrower, are owned by Borrower, directly or indirectly through Wholly Owned Subsidiaries. Each Loan Party is the record and beneficial owner of, and has valid title to, the Equity Interests pledged by it under the Security Agreement, free of any and all Liens, rights or claims of other Persons, except the security interest created by the Security Agreement and in connection with securing the Borrower’s obligations under, and with respect to, the Senior Convertible Notes, and there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any such Equity Interests, except as set forth on Schedule 3.15(a) and stock options granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares.

(b) No Immaterial Subsidiary (i) owns any Equity Interest or Indebtedness of, or owns or holds any Lien on, any property of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (ii) as of the last day of any Measurement Period, together with its respective Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, accounts for (or to which may be attributed to) $2,500,000 or more of the Consolidated EBITDA or the net book value of all assets (determined on a consolidated basis) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, determined as of the most recently completed Measurement Period, or (iii) is otherwise necessary for the ongoing business operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Immaterial Subsidiaries do not account (on a consolidated basis) for (or which may be attributed to) more than $15,000,000 of the Consolidated EBITDA or the net book value of all assets (determined on a consolidated basis) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the last day of any Measurement Period.

SECTION 3.16.Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of (a) the Term A Loans made on the Closing Date to consummate the Refinancing and pay related fees and expenses and (b) the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans on and after the Closing Date for general corporate

purposes not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will not use the proceeds of any Refinancing Term Loans for any purpose other than the repayment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest and premium on Term Loans outstanding on the date of incurrence of such Refinancing Term Loans and payment of other reasonable amounts incurred (including tender premiums) and fees and expenses (including upfront fees and original issue discount) reasonably incurred, in connection with such Refinancing Term Loans.

SECTION 3.17.Security Agreement. (a) The Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal, valid and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, the Collateral (other than the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof) and, when (i) financing statements and other filings in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.17(a), (ii) upon the taking of possession or control by the Administrative Agent of the Security Agreement Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control (which possession or control shall be given to the Administrative Agent to the extent possession or control by the Administrative Agent is required by each Security Agreement), and (iii) such other filings and agreements as are specified on Schedule 3 to the Security Agreement, the Liens created by the Security Agreement shall constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the grantors in the Security Agreement Collateral, in each case subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens.

(b)Mortgages. Each Mortgage, when filed as required under Section 5.10, will be in form sufficient to create, in favor of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties valid first priority Liens on, and security interests in, all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Properties thereunder and the proceeds thereof, subject only to Permitted Liens, the Mortgages shall constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than Permitted Liens.

SECTION 3.18.Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Closing Date and immediately following the making of each Loan and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are Solvent.

SECTION 3.19.Anti-Terrorism Laws. (a) No Loan Party, none of its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of each Loan Party, none of its Affiliates and none of the respective officers, directors, brokers or agents of such Loan Party, such Subsidiary or Affiliate (i) has violated or is in violation of Anti-Terrorism Laws or (ii) has engaged or engages in any transaction, investment, undertaking or activity that conceals the identity, source or destination of the proceeds from any category of offenses designated in the “Forty Recommendations” and “Nine Special Recommendations” published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering.

(b) No Loan Party, none of its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of each Loan Party, none of its Affiliates and none of the respective officers, directors, brokers or agents of such Loan Party, such Subsidiary or such Affiliate is acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with the Loans is an Embargoed Person.

(c) No Loan Party, none of its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of each Loan Party, none of its Affiliates and none of the respective officers, directors, brokers or agents of such Loan Party, such Subsidiary or such Affiliate acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with the Loans (i) conducts any business or engages in making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or services

to or for the benefit of any Embargoed Person, (ii) deals in, or otherwise engages in any transaction related to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to any Anti-Terrorism Law or (iii) engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law.

Each Lender shall be solely responsible for timely accessing posted documents or requesting delivery of paper copies from the Borrower.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly post any deliveries made by Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.01 as set forth below, except for those documents delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the Joint Lead Arrangers will make available to the Lenders Communications by posting such Communications on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Communications that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Communications shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders to treat such Communications as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided,however, that to the extent such Communications constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.12); (y) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.” Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible for any statement or other designation by a Loan Party regarding whether a Communication contains or does not contain material non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties or their securities nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates incur any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for any action taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates based upon such statement or designation, including any action as a result of which Restricting Information is provided to a Lender that may decide not to take access to Restricting Information. Nothing in this Section 5.01 shall modify or limit a Lender’s obligations under Section 9.12 with regard to Communications and the maintenance of the confidentiality of or other treatment of Information.

Although the Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders and each Loan Party hereby approves distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

THE PLATFORM AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE AGENT’S GROUP WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY

OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM.

Each of the Lenders and each Loan Party agree that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its administrative agent and collateral agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights

110

and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may use an outside service provider for the tracking of all UCC financing statements required to be filed pursuant to the Loan Documents and notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that any such service provider will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of Borrower and the other Loan Parties. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which successor shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), 7.01(b), 7.01(g), 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges 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 credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges 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 from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent, or as the Required Lenders may require or otherwise direct, for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Bank;provided,however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with, and subject to,

111

the terms of this Agreement, or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any bankruptcy or insolvency law.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(i) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

(ii) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of principal or interest under Section 2.08 or 2.13 or fee under Section 2.12 without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest;

(iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest or premium specified herein on, any Loan or LC Exposure, or (subject to clause (D) of the second proviso to this Section 9.02) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that any change to the definition of Consolidated Leverage Ratio or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest;provided that, only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend Section 2.13(c) or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.13(c));

(iv) change any provision of this Section 9.02, the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Facility Lenders”, any provision of Section 2.11(b) or 2.11(g) relating to pro rata sharing, or Sections 2.18 or 7.03 without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

113

(v) release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vi) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 6.05, release all or substantially all of the aggregate value of the Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vii) change the currency in which any Loan is denominated or interest or fees thereon is paid without the written consent of the Lender holding such Loans;

(viii) amend the definition of “Interest Period” to allow intervals in excess of six months or shorter than one month without the agreement of each affected Lender without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

andprovidedfurther that:

(A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Issuing Bank in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of a Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it;

(B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swingline Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement;

(C) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender under this Agreement;

(D) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(E) Section 9.04(e) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification;

(F) no condition set forth in Section 4.02 may be waived as to any Credit Extension under any Revolving Credit Facility without the written consent of the Required Facility Lenders under such Facility; and

(G) the consent of Required Facility Lenders shall be required with respect to any amendment that by its terms adversely affects the rights of Lenders under such Facility in respect of payments hereunder in a manner different than such amendment affects other Facilities.

(c)Dissenting Lenders. If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by this Section 9.02, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Borrower shall have the right to replace any such non-consenting

114

Lender or Lenders with one or more persons pursuant to Section 2.19(b) so long as at the time of such replacement each such new Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except (i) that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended, or the rate reduced, or the time of payment of interest, or fees thereon or other amounts payable hereunder (other than mandatory prepayments) extended, without the consent of such Lender, (ii) in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of each Lender or each Lender affected thereby other than clause (viii) above, and (iii) this paragraph may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified in any manner adverse to such Lender without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that, except as set forth in this paragraph, any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.02, the Security Documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Requirements of Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 (collectively, the “Additional Extensions of Credit”) to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure and the accrual of 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 Required Facility Lenders;provided, that no such amendment shall permit the Additional Extensions of Credit to share ratably with or with preference to the Term Loans in the application of mandatory prepayments without the consent of the Required Facility Lenders under each Facility (other than the Revolving Credit Facility) or otherwise to share ratably with or with preference to the Revolving Credit Exposure without the consent of the Required Facility Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility.

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 Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of a given Class (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with replacement term loans (“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 Applicable Rate with respect to such Replacement Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Replacement Term Loans) shall not be higher than the Applicable Rate for such Refinanced Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans) immediately prior to such refinancing, (c) 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 Loans at the time of such refinancing (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Refinanced Term Loans prior to the time of such incurrence) and (d) 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 than, those

115

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 Maturity Date of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

SECTION 9.03.Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent (limited to one outside counsel and local counsel as required, and, in the event of any actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the affected parties), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender (limited to one outside counsel and local counsel as required, and, in the event of any actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the affected parties), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable and documented expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Materials of Environmental Concern on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) any claims between Lenders or their Related Parties that do not involve an act or omission (whether actual or alleged in good faith) of the Borrower or any of its affiliates. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time

116

that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor (together with the documentation referred to above).

SECTION 9.04.Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 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 (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(A) the Borrower,provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;providedfurther that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Borrower shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after receiving notice thereof;

(B) the Administrative Agent,provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of (x) any Revolving Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Revolving Commitment or an Affiliate of a Lender with a Revolving Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, (y) an assignment to the Borrower or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower, as an assignee, of a Term Loan Repurchase pursuant to any Modified Dutch Auction, and (z) all or any portion of a Term Loan; and

(C) the Issuing Bank,provided that no consent of the Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan.

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

117

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender 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 Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 with respect to Term Loans, and $5,000,000 with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, in each case, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent,provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of 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 Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws;

(E) the assignee shall not be a Competitor of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 9.04(b). The Borrower may revise Schedule 9.04(b) from time to time concurrently with the delivery of its financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01(a) and 5.01(b), which amended schedule shall be effective upon delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive,

118

and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register;provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or 2.05(e), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section;provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”);provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, 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

119

registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17), except, in the case of Section 2.15, the increase or change results from a Change in Law after the SPC becomes a SPC and the grant was made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

SECTION 9.05.Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any Credit Extension, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

120

SECTION 9.06.Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07.Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08.Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09.Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest

121

extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

(b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY

122

INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(c) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges 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.

SECTION 9.14.USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.15.Judgment Currency. (a) The Borrower’s obligation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in the applicable Approved Currency (pursuant to such obligation, the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Borrower in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the Relevant Currency Equivalent, and in the case of other currencies, the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the

123

Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining the Relevant Currency Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 9.15, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

SECTION 9.16.Special Provisions Relating to Currencies Other Than Dollars. (a) All funds to be made available to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement in any Alternate Currency shall be made available to Administrative Agent, the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds to such account with such bank in such principal financial center in such Participating Member State (or in London) as the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall from time to time nominate for this purpose.

(b) In relation to the payment of any amount denominated in euros or pounds, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall be liable to Borrower or any of the Lenders for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender or the Issuing Bank if the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender or Issuing Bank shall have taken all relevant and necessary steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in such Alternate Currency) to the account with the bank in the principal financial center in the Participating Member State which Borrower or, as the case may be, any Lender shall have specified for such purpose. In this Section 9.16(b), “all relevant steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender or Issuing Bank may from time to time determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of euros or pounds. Furthermore, and without limiting the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Alternate Currency Lender nor the Issuing Bank shall be liable to Borrower or any of the Lenders with respect to the foregoing matters in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision or pursuant to a binding arbitration award or as otherwise agreed in writing by the affected parties).

SECTION 9.17.Dollar Equivalent Calculations. For purposes of this Agreement, the Dollar Equivalent of each Loan that is an Alternate Currency Loan shall be calculated on the date when any such Loan is made, on the first Business Day of each month and at such other times as designated by the Administrative Agent. Such Dollar Equivalent shall remain in effect until the same is recalculated by the Administrative Agent as provided above and notice of such recalculation is received by the Borrower, it being understood that until such notice of such recalculation is received, the Dollar Equivalent shall be that Dollar Equivalent as last reported to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative

124

Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each such determination of the Dollar Equivalent.

SCHEDULE 3.06

DISCLOSED MATTERS (LITIGATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS)

A Pdx Pro v. Valassis Direct Mail, Inc. (Federal District Court, District of Oregon): A Pdx Pro contends that an oral contract was formed in 2004 between it and ADVO, Inc. (k/n/a Valassis Direct Mail, Inc.), that ADVO misrepresented its intent, and that ADVO failed to fulfill its obligations under the oral contract. The complaint alleges damages in the amount of $13,425,000. The parties are now engaged in the discovery process.

Dearborn Refinery Site: Dearborn Refining Co. owned and operated a waste oil refining and oil processing facility at the site from the 1940s until 2005. Numerous companies sent used oil, waste oil and wastewater contaminated with oil to Dearborn Refining. Several investigations conducted by state and federal agencies over the years revealed violations for inadequate containment of waste oil. Two legal orders were issued to the company to address these conditions, but neither order was followed. Ownership of the property reverted to the city of Dearborn when the company failed to pay taxes. The city requested EPA assistance and is working closely with the Agency to clean up the site. Borrower is a part of the clean-up group and is assessed fees periodically. The most recent assessment allocated to Borrower was for $39,757.

Terminated Associate (Borrower): Terminated associate alleges age discrimination, reverse race discrimination, and wrongful termination. Borrower received letter from associate’s attorney with such allegations. Settlement offer from terminated associate was in excess of $1 million. Borrower’s severance offer was approximately $300,000, which the terminated associate declined. Borrower is attempting to schedule mediation for July 2011. No claim has been filed at this stage.

Terminated Associate (Borrower): Terminated associate alleges a variety of claims including harassment. Associate was terminated in August 2010 and Borrower received a letter in June 2011 with allegations. The associate declined original severance offer in August 2010 and alleges $5 million in damages based on her own calculation. To date, there has not been any contact from any attorney, although she has threatened such. Borrower has not responded to her demand as of this date.

Quest Net Tech: Letter from Quest Net alleging infringement by Borrower of VonKohorn patent portfolio. Offer from company for $500,000 perpetual license. Borrower declined the offer. Quest Net is submitting a lower offer in light of its conversations with Borrower. Borrower does not believe that it has infringed, but is exploring settlement at a reasonable cost. This is the second time a company has come after license fees for these patents. The first was the previous owner who approached Borrower and then sold the portfolio to Quest Net Tech.

6.	DTD Clean-Up (Windsor): Borrower is currently working with the Department of Environmental Protection (the “DEP”) on a soil/groundwater clean-up project at its Great

Pond facility in Windsor, CT. This project has been on-going for a few years and Borrower and the DEP are in the process of finalizing the Final Remediation Plan. Post-remediation soil/groundwater monitoring will also need to be completed. To date, Borrower has incurred approximately $50,000 in expenses related to this project.

7.	Valassis Direct Mail, Inc. is involved in litigation in the US Tax Court relating to a dispute over a research and development tax credit and Section 199 deduction for ADVO Inc.’s taxable years ending September 2005, 2006 and 2007. The disputed amount is $3,640,000.

Certain State Tax Liability - Borrower may be exposed to additional sales tax liability to the extent various state jurisdictions determine that certain of its products are subject to such jurisdictions’ sales tax. Borrower has recorded a liability of $10.1 million as of December 31, 2010, reflecting its best estimate of its potential sales tax liability. While Borrower believes all of its estimates and assumptions are reasonable and will be sustained upon audit, the actual liabilities may exceed such estimates.

SCHEDULE 3.07

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

1. Reference is made to the environmental claims set forth in Schedule 3.06.

SCHEDULE 3.10

TAXES

1.Certain Sales Tax Liability - Borrower and the Subsidiaries may be exposed to additional sales tax liability to the extent various state jurisdictions determine that certain of its products are subject to such jurisdictions’ sales tax. Borrower has recorded a liability of $10.1 million as of December 31, 2010, reflecting its best estimate of its potential sales tax liability. While Borrower believes all of its estimates and assumptions are reasonable and will be sustained upon audit, the actual liabilities may exceed such estimates.

2.Certain Income Tax Liability - Borrower and the Subsidiaries may be exposed to additional income tax liability as a result of uncertain tax positions. Borrower has recorded a liability of $12.5 million as of December 31, 2010, reflecting its best estimate of its potential income tax liability related to such uncertain tax positions, which includes a reserve for the litigation involving Valassis Direct Mail, Inc. set forth on Schedule 3.06. While Borrower believes all of its estimates and assumptions are reasonable and will be sustained, the actual liabilities may exceed such estimates.

SCHEDULE 3.14

LABOR MATTERS

1. Reference is made to the employee claims set forth in Schedule 3.06.

2. Terminated Associate (NCH Promotional Services de Mexico): Terminated associate alleges a variety of claims including severance payment. Associate was terminated in 1991.
