Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

2.05Notes. (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.16 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced (i) in the case of A Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, an “A Term Note” and, collectively, the “A Term Notes”), (ii) in the case of B Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “B Term Note” and, collectively, the “B Term Notes”), (iii) in the case of Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”), and (iv) in the

case of Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note”).

(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

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

2.06Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans (other than Swingline Loans which may not be converted pursuant to this Section 2.06) made pursuant to one or more Borrowings (so long as of the same Tranche) of one or more Types of Loans into a Borrowing (of the same Tranche) of another Type of Loan;provided that, (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least (x) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, three Business Days’ prior notice and (y) in the case of conversions of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

2.07Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of A Term Loans, B Term Loans and Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lendersprorata on the basis of their A Term Loan Commitments, B Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be;provided that all Mandatory Borrowings shall be incurred from the RL Lendersprorata on the basis of their RL Percentages. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

2.08Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Marginplus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Periodplus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

(c) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche from time to time, and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans from time to time. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

(d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Base Rate Loans of any Tranche, and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, (x) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(e) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective Eurodollar Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.09Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be (x) a one, two, three, six or, if approved by each Lender with Loans and/or Commitments under the relevant Tranche, nine or twelve month period or (y) if agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, such other period not to exceed one-month;provided that (in each case):

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

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

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

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

(v) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected at any time when an Event of Default is then in existence;

(vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans;

(vii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of A Term Loans or B Term Loans shall be selected which extends beyond any date upon which a mandatory repayment of such A Term Loans or B Term Loans, as the case may be, will be required to be made under Section 5.02(b) or (c), as the case may be, if the aggregate principal amount of such A Term Loans or B Term Loans, as the case may be, which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of such A Term Loans or B Term Loans, as the case may be, then outstandingless the aggregate amount of such required repayment; and

(viii) no Interest Period other than a one month Interest Period may be selected prior to the Syndication Termination Date, and such an Interest Period may only be selected so long as all outstanding Loans that are maintained as Eurodollar Loans are subject to the same one month Interest Period which begins and ends on the same day.

If by 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.10Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the Effective Date affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loan because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on such Eurodollar Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for the imposition of, or any changes in the rate of, any Excluded Tax) but without duplication of any amounts payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to Section 5.04(a) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Effective Date affecting such Lender, the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the London interbank market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such

determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b) (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender in good faith shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees that if it gives notice to the Borrower of any of the events described in clause (i) or (iii) above, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and, in the case of any such Lender, the Administrative Agent, if such event ceases to exist. If any such event described in clause (iii) above ceases to exist as to a Lender, the obligations of such Lender to make Eurodollar Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans on the terms and conditions contained herein shall be reinstated.

(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), the Borrower may, and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), the Borrower shall, either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan;provided that, if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such

additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable;provided that such Lender’s reasonable good faith determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall be deemed to be a change after the Effective Date in a requirement of law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 2.10 and Section 3.06).

2.11Compensation. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11) or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower in repaying Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

2.12Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event;provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 5.04.

2.13Replacement of Lenders. (w) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (x) if any Lender is incurring or is reasonably expected to incur costs which are or would be material in amount and are associated with a Gaming Authority’s investigation of whether or not

such Lender is a Qualified Person, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.04(b), to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Qualified Persons, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or, in the case of a replacement as provided in Section 13.12(b) where the consent of the respective Lender is required with respect to less than all Tranches of its Loans or Commitments, to replace the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of such Lender in respect of each Tranche where the consent of such Lender would otherwise be individually required, with identical Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the Replacement Lender;provided that:

(a) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Replaced Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender)) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of only (a) the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings and/or (b) the outstanding Term Loans of any Tranche, the outstanding Term Loans of the respective Tranche or Tranches with respect to which such Lender is being replaced) of, and in each case (except for the replacement of only the outstanding Term Loans of any or all Tranches of Term Loans of the respective Lender) all participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender under each Tranche with respect to which such Replaced Lender is being replaced, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (unless there are no Unpaid Drawings with respect to the Tranche being replaced) that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender (but only with respect to the relevant Tranche, in the case of the replacement of less than all Tranches of Loans then held by the respective Replaced Lender) pursuant to Section 4.01, (y) except in the case of the replacement of only the outstanding Term Loans of one or more Tranches of a Replaced Lender, each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (z) in the case of any replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s

RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender; and

(b) all obligations of the Borrower then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those (a) specifically described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11(a), or (b) relating to any Tranche of Loans and/or Commitments of the respective Replaced Lender which will remain outstanding after giving effect to the respective replacement) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and is authorized (which authorization is coupled with an interest) to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 13.04. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.16 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the respective Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans and/or a Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender and (y) except in the case of the replacement of only outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13, the RL Percentages of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement.

2.14Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any RL Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such RL Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) if any Swingline Loan Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a RL Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the RL Lenders that are Non-Defaulting RL Lenders in accordance with their respective RL Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all RL Lenders’ that are Non-Defaulting RL Lenders Individual Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the aggregate amount of all Non-Defaulting RL Lenders’ Available Revolving Loan Commitments, (y) immediately following the reallocation to a RL Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender, the Individual Exposure of such RL Lender does not exceed its Available Revolving Loan Commitment at such time and (z) the conditions set forth in Section 7 are satisfied at such time;

(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 Loan Exposure and (y)second, cash collateralize in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in aggregate amount equal to 103% of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding (the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”);

(iii) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant toSection 4.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure;

(iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to thisSection 2.14(a), then the fees payable to the RL Lenders pursuant toSection 4.01(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ RL Percentages; and

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.14(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any RL Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 4.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to each Issuing Lender until such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

(b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.01(c) or Section 3, so long as any RL Lender is a Defaulting Lender (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Available Revolving Loan Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral has been provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.14(a), and (ii) participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among RL Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.14(a)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such RL Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (i) the Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure of the RL Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such RL Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments and on such date such RL Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other RL Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such RL Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its RL Percentage and (ii) so long as no Event of Default then exists, all funds held as cash collateral pursuant to the Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements shall thereafter be promptly returned to the Borrower. If the Revolving Loan Commitments have been terminated, all other Revolving Obligations have been paid in full and no Letters of Credit are outstanding, then, so long as no Event of Default then exists, all funds

held as cash collateral pursuant to the Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements shall thereafter be promptly returned to the Borrower.

2.15Incremental Credit Extensions. (a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Syndication Termination Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request (x) one or more additional tranches or additions to an existing Tranche of Term Loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) or (y) one or more additional tranches or increases in the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments on the same terms as the Revolving Loans (the “Revolving Commitment Increase”, and, together with the Incremental Term Loans, collectively, the “Incremental Loans”);provided that:

(i) upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loan, no Default or Event of Default shall exist;

(ii) upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, all of the representations and warranties of each Credit Party set forth in Section 8 and in each other Credit Document shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such time (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date);

(iii) the aggregate amount of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not exceed the greater of (x) $200,000,000 and (y) the amount which, after giving effect thereto (determined after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Loans and the full utilization of all Commitments under this Agreement), would result in the Borrower being in compliance on aProForma Basis with the Financial Covenants set forth in Sections 10.08 and 10.10 and with a Total Net Leverage Ratio that is at least 0.25x lower than the maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 10.09, in each case for the last fiscal quarter ending prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Amendment for which financial statements are available (it being acknowledged and agreed that the required ratio levels to be satisfied will be the level applicable on the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such Incremental Amendment becomes effective);

(iv) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and executed by each Credit Party, acknowledging that all Incremental Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the Security Documents, and guaranteed under the Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties under this Agreement secured by the Security Documents and guaranteed under the Guaranty;

(v) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower (x) certifying compliance with the requirements of preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), and (y) demonstrating and certifying

to the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that the full amount of the respective Incremental Loans shall not result in any violation or breach of the terms and conditions of the Outstanding Existing Senior Notes, the Senior Notes or any other Material Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries;

(vi) each Credit Party shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such other officers’ certificates, board of director (or equivalent governing body) resolutions and evidence of good standing (to the extent available under applicable law) as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request; and

(vii) each Credit Party shall have completed such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with such Incremental Loans in order to create, continue or maintain the security interests of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and the perfection thereof (including such other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to be delivered in connection therewith).

(b) Incremental Term Loans that are added to the existing Tranche of B Term Loans, as applicable, shall have identical terms to such existing Tranche of Term Loans. All other Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Obligations;provided,however, that:

(i) the interest rate applicable to the Incremental Term Loans may differ from that applicable to the existing B Term Loans, but if the Effective Yield applicable to a given tranche of Incremental Term Loans determined as of the initial funding date for such Incremental Term Loans exceeds the Effective Yield then applicable to any A Term Loans or B Term Loans by more than 0.50% (the amount of such excess being the “Yield Differential”), the Applicable Margin for such existing Tranche of Term Loans subject to a Yield Differential shall automatically be increased by the applicable Yield Differential effective upon the making of the applicable Incremental Term Loans;

(ii) the final stated maturity date for a given Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may be later (but not sooner) than the B Term Loan Maturity Date;

(iii) the amortization requirements for a given Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ, so long as the Average Weighted Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Loans is no shorter than the Average Weighted Life to Maturity applicable to the then outstanding B Term Loans;

(iv) any Term Loans of a new Tranche may participate on aprorata basis or less than aprorata basis (but not greater than aprorata basis except in the case of the scheduled amortization thereof) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of Term Loans hereunder; and

(v) the other terms of a given Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ if reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the

Administrative Agent) and shall be in an increment of $5,000,000 and each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) and shall be in an increment of $5,000,000 (provided that in each case such amount may be less if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in clause (iii) of Section 2.15(a)).

(d) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15 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 (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan or any portion of any Revolving Commitment Increase) or by any other bank or other financial institution which is a Qualified Person (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”);provided that the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) 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 13.04 for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit 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 Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 7 (it being understood that all references to “the time of such Credit Event” or similar language in such Section 7 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(e) Upon each increase in the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, (a) each RL 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 RL Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each RL Lender (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments of all RL Lenders represented by such RL Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and (b) 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 Loan 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 2.11. 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.

(f) This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 13.06 or 13.12 to the contrary.

2.16Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Term Loans with a like maturity date or Revolving Loan Commitments with a like maturity date, in each case on aprorata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments with a like maturity date, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving Loan Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a “Tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Tranche of Term Loans from the Tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate Tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments from the Tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders;

(ii) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Revolving Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Revolving Loan Commitment (an “Extending Revolving Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Loan Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings);provided that (x) subject to the provisions of Sections 2.01(f) and 3.01(c) to the extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a Maturity Date when there exist Revolving Commitments with a longer Maturity Date, all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated in on apro

rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments in accordance with their RL Percentage of the Revolving Loan Commitments (and except as provided in Section 2.01(f) and 3.01(c), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Maturity Date with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued) and all borrowings under Revolving Loan Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on aprorata 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 Loan Commitments) and (y) at no time shall there be Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Revolving Loan Commitments) which have more than three different Maturity Dates;

(iii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer;

(iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then latest Maturity Date hereunder of the Tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans pursuant to Section 5.02 for periods prior to the A Term Loan Maturity Date (if the A Term Loans are subject to such Extension Offer) or prior to the B Term Loan Maturity Date (if the B Term Loans are subject to such Extension Offer) may not be increased;

(v) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby;

(vi) any Extended Term Loans may participate on aprorata basis or a less thanprorata basis (but not greater than aprorata basis except in the case of subordinated amortization thereof) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments of Term Loans hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer;

(vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which the respective Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such respective Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such respective Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer;

(viii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing;

(ix) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower; and

(x) the Minimum Tranche Amount (as defined below) shall be satisfied unless waived by the Administrative Agent.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 5.02(b)(ii) and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment;provided that (x) the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and which may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable tranches be tendered and (y) no tranche of Extended Term Loans shall be in an amount of less than $50,000,000 (the “Minimum Tranche Amount”), unless such Minimum Tranche Amount is waived by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.16 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.16.

(c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Loan Commitments, the consent of each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender. All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents that are secured by the Collateral on aparipassu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new Tranches or sub-Tranches in respect of Revolving Loan Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Tranches or sub-Tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.16. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Credit Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), 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 2.16.

2.17Reverse Dutch Auction Repurchases. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the later to occur of the Initial Borrowing Date and the Syndication Termination Date, conduct reverse Dutch auctions in order to purchase Term Loans (each, an “Auction”) (each such Auction to be managed exclusively by DBTCA or another investment bank of recognized standing selected by the Borrower following consultation with the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”)), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) each Auction shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.17 and Schedule 2.17;

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of purchase of any Term Loans in connection with any Auction;

(iii) the minimum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans that the Borrower offers to purchase in any such Auction shall be no less than $5,000,000 (or integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof) (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent);

(iv) after giving effect to any purchase of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.17, the sum of (x) the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment and (y) the aggregate amount of all cash and Cash Equivalents of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties, shall not be less than $200,000,000;

(v) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans so purchased by the Borrower shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold);

(vi) no more than one Auction may be ongoing at any one time;

(vii) each Auction shall be open and offered to all Lenders of the relevant Tranche on a pro rata basis; and

(viii) at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through an Auction, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager an officer’s certificate of an Authorized Officer certifying as to compliance with preceding clause (iv).

(b) The Borrower must terminate an Auction if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would

have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction. If the Borrower commences any Auction and if at such time of commencement the Borrower reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction shall be satisfied, then any failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17, (x) the Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by the Borrower and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 5.01, 5.02 or 13.06.

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.17 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Auctions) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 13.06 (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans by the Borrower contemplated by this Section 2.17 shall not constitute Investments by the Borrower)) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.17. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Section 12 and Section 13.01 mutatis mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction.

(d) Each Lender participating in any Auction hereby acknowledges and agrees that in connection with such Auction, (1) the Borrower may have, and later may come into possession of, information regarding the Term Loans or the Credit Parties hereunder that is not known to such Lender and that may be material to a decision by such Lender to participate in such Auction (such information, the “Excluded Information”), (2) such Lender has independently, without reliance on the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to participate in such Auction notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information and (3) none of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, and their respective Affiliates, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information. Each Lender participating in any Auction further acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

SECTION 3.Letters of Credit.

3.01Letters of Credit. (a) (I) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request that an Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to

time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the 30th day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of (x) any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations, an irrevocable standby letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender, and (y) sellers of goods to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable trade letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”). All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be issued on a sight basis only.

(II) Schedule 3.01 contains a description of letters of credit that were originally issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and which remain outstanding on the Effective Date (and setting forth, with respect to each such letter of credit, (i) the name of the issuing lender, (ii) the letter of credit number, (iii) the name(s) of the account party or account parties, (iv) the stated amount, (v) the currency in which the letter of credit is denominated, (vi) the name of the beneficiary, (vii) the expiry date and (viii) whether such letter of credit constitutes a standby letter of credit or a trade letter of credit). Each such letter of credit which remains outstanding on the Effective Date, including any extension or renewal thereof in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed issued on the Initial Borrowing Date.

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the 30th day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for the account of the Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit as are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default;provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance:

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

(ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b).

(c) If the Maturity Date in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other Tranches of Revolving Loan Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.04) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Loan Commitments in respect of such non-terminating Tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Loan Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall cash collateralize any such Letter of Credit. If, for any reason, such cash collateral is not provided or the reallocation does not occur, the Revolving Lenders under the maturing Tranche shall continue to be responsible for their participating interests in the Letters of Credit. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, the occurrence of a Maturity Date with respect to a given tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before such Maturity Date. Commencing with the Maturity Date of any Tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Lenders under the extended Tranches.

3.02Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed either (x) $100,000,000 or (y) when added to the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, (ii) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate (x) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such standby Letter of Credit may be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months each, but, in each case, not beyond the tenth Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on terms acceptable to the Issuing Lender) and (B) ten Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and (y) in the case of trade Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 180 days after the date of issuance thereof and (B) 10 Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (iii) no Letter of Credit may be issued with a termination date that is later than a Maturity Date for a Tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments if the Stated Amount thereof, together with the Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit with a termination date after such Maturity Date, shall exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments after giving effect to the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments under such Tranche.

3.03Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice thereof (including by way

of facsimile). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C, appropriately completed (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”).

(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 6 or 7 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.02, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be. Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Lender shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding week.

(c) The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $50,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

3.04Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each RL Lender, and each such RL Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s RL Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each Drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.15 or 13.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to the Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of

such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(c) In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars such Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(e) Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

(f) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

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

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

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

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

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

3.05Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by the Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to timeplus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans;provided,however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day following the receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to timeplus 2%, with such interest to be payable on demand. Each Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it;provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be

absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any Drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing;provided,however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

3.06Increased Costs. If at any time after the Effective Date, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive by any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (except for the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant), then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrower by any Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 2.11 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to it pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

portion of the Net Insurance Proceeds from a Recovery Event not applied to the repayment of Term Loans due to a Reinvestment Election are not so used within 365 days after the date of receipt of such Net Insurance Proceeds (or 720 days to the extent that, upon expiration of such 365 day period, such proceeds are committed (pursuant to binding commitments with third parties) to be used to complete such replacement or restoration), then such remaining portion not used shall be applied on the date which is 365 days (or 720 days) following the date of receipt of such Net Insurance Proceeds as a mandatory repayment of principal of outstanding Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(h) and (j). At the time of the acquisition of any Reinvestment Assets, the Borrower shall comply and shall cause its Subsidiaries to comply with Section 9.11, to the extent applicable.

(g) In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each Excess Cash Payment Date, an amount equal to the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Payment Period shall be applied as a mandatory repayment of Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(h) and (j);provided that repayments of principal of Loans made as a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 5.01 with internally generated funds (but in the case of a voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, only to the extent accompanied by a voluntary reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment in an amount equal to such prepayment) during the applicable Excess Cash Payment Period shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount of such mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction otherwise required on the applicable Excess Cash Payment Date pursuant to this Section 5.02(g).

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.02, no mandatory repayment of Term Loans shall be required pursuant to Section 5.02(e) or (f) until the date on which the aggregate amount of all Net Asset Sale Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory repayments of Term Loans in the absence of this sentence equals or exceeds $20,000,000. Subject to Section 5.02(j), each amount required to be applied to repay Term Loans (or to reduce the Total Term Loan Commitment) pursuant to Sections 5.02(d), (e), (f) and (g) shall be applied to each Tranche of Term Loans on aprorata basis. After giving effect to the allocation amongst Tranches required by the immediately preceding sentence, each amount required to be applied to Term Loans of a given Tranche shall be applied (i)first, to reduce in direct order of maturity those Scheduled Repayments which will be due and payable within 24 months after the date the respective prepayment is made pursuant to said Sections 5.02(d), (e), (f) and/or (g) and (ii)second, to the extent the amount to be applied to Term Loans of a given Tranche exceeds the amount to be applied pursuant to preceding clause (i), to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective Trancheprorata based upon the then remaining amounts of the Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche after giving effect to all prior reductions and/or increases thereto.

(i) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 5.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which made;provided that: (i) repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in full; (ii)

if any repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing under a Tranche shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Tranche, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be appliedprorata among the Lenders which made such Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.01, this Section 5.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Borrower shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to give the Lenders with outstanding B Term Loans the option to waive a voluntary prepayment or mandatory repayment of such Term Loans pursuant to Section 5.01 or Sections 5.02(d), (e), (f) and/or (g) (each such prepayment or repayment, a “Waivable Repayment”). If the Borrower elects to exercise the option referred to in the preceding sentence, the Borrower shall give to the Administrative Agent written notice of its intention to give the Lenders of the B Term Loan Tranche the right to waive a Waivable Repayment at least five Business Days prior to such repayment, which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly forward to all B Term Loan Lenders (indicating in such notice the amount of such repayment to be applied to each such Lender’s outstanding B Term Loans). Any offer by the Borrower to permit such Lenders to waive any such Waivable Repayment may apply to all or part of such repayment;provided that (x) any offer to waive part of such repayment must be made ratably to such B Term Loan Lenders on the basis of their outstanding B Term Loans and (y) no Lender may waive any voluntary prepayment or mandatory repayment if the effect of such waiver would be to reduce the A Term Loans to less than $0. In the event any such Lender desires to waive such Lender’s right to receive any such Waivable Repayment in whole or in part, such Lender shall so advise the Administrative Agent no later than the close of business two Business Days after the date of such notice from the Administrative Agent, which notice shall also include the amount such Lender desires to receive in respect of such repayment. If any Lender does not reply to the Administrative Agent within the aforementioned two Business Day period, such Lender will be deemed not to have waived any part of such repayment. If any Lender replies to the Administrative Agent but does not specify an amount such Lender wishes to receive, it will be deemed to have waived 100% of the amount of its share of such payment. In the event that any such Lender waives all or part of such right to receive any such Waivable Repayment, the amount so waived shall be applied to the repayment of the A Term Loans in accordance with Section 5.01 or Sections 5.02(h) and (i), as applicable.

5.03Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement or any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) (or 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) in the case of Swingline Loans) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

5.04Net Payments (a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any Note will be made without set-off, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Section 5.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, (i) any tax imposed on or measured by the net income, overall gross income, or net profits of a Lender, or any franchise tax based on the net income, overall gross income, or net profits of a Lender, in each case pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein and (ii) any United States federal withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA, (iii) any branch profits taxes or similar taxes imposed on a Lender, (iv) any U.S. withholding taxes that are imposed as a result of such Lender’s failure to comply with Section 5.04(b), and (v) any taxes, unless such taxes result from a change in or adoption of any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, occurring (x) after the date the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or (y) in the case of an assignment or designation of a new lending office, the effective date of such assignment or designation, except to the extent the assignor, or the Lender in respect of its prior lending office, as the case may be, was entitled to any additional payments under this Section 5.04(a) under the laws in effect immediately prior to the assignment to such assignee or the designation of the new lending office, as the case may be (all such amounts referred to in clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 5.04(a) being referred to collectively as “Excluded Taxes”)) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges that are not Excluded Taxes (all such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges that are not Excluded Taxes being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). Except as provided in Section 5.04(b), if any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 5.04(a), then the Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender, for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of such Lender, or any franchise tax based on the net income or net profits of such Lender, in either case pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located and for any withholding of income or similar taxes as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender in respect of such amounts so paid to or on be half of such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the

amount of any Taxes that arise from the failure of the Borrower to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Tax authority and that become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

(b) Each Lender agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.15 or 13.04 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) in the event such Lender is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (each a “Foreign Lender”) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, (x) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (y) if the Lender is claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (I) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate, a “Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (II) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement, and (ii) in the event such Lender is a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is a United States person and is entitled to a complete exemption from United States backup withholding tax, in each case (except as otherwise provided), with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Foreign Lender shall, in the case of any payment made after December 31, 2012 in respect of any Loan, Letters of Credit, Note or Obligation that was not treated as outstanding for purposes of FATCA on March 18, 2012, provide any forms, documentation, or other information as shall be prescribed by the IRS to demonstrate that the relevant Lender has complied with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA so that such payments made to such Lender hereunder would not be subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed by FACTA. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances (including, without limitation, the grant or termination of a participation interest) renders the previous certification obsolete, incomplete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption), Form W-8IMY (and any related required Form W-8BEN) and a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.04(a), but subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold any taxes imposed by the United States (or any political

subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 5.04 and except as set forth in Section 13.04(b), the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 5.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of such Taxes; provided that the Lender complies with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.04(b) with respect to providing forms and certificates.

(c) If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 5.04 to a Lender and such Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund or any reduction of, or credit against, its Tax liabilities in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount is paid (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount that the Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by the Lender in such year as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that (i) any Lender may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether to seek a Tax Benefit; (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction (including through the expiration of any tax credit carryover or carryback of such Lender that otherwise would not have expired) of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04(c) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Lender pursuant to this Section 5.04 without any exclusions or defenses; and (iii) nothing in this Section 5.04(c) shall require the Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns).

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Administrative Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.04(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

13.03Notices. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telex, telecopier or cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered: if to the Borrower or any Credit Party, at the Borrower’s address specified opposite its signature below; if to any Lender, at its address specified on Schedule 13.03; and if to the Administrative Agent, at its Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, be effective (5) Business Days after deposit in the mails, and when telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight courier, be effective one Business Day after dispatch, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as the case may be.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent;provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it;provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

13.04Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto;provided,however, no Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Lenders (it being understood that this Section 13.04 shall not prevent a merger or

128

consolidation otherwise permitted by this Agreement) and,provided,further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations to Eligible Transferees in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Section 13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and,provided,further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except (x) in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and (y) any amendment or modification that is not agreed to by each Lender directly affected thereby to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification would otherwise actually result in such a reduction, so long as the primary purpose (as determined in good faith by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) of the respective amendment or modification was not to decrease the pricing pursuant to this Agreement) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment or a mandatory prepayment of the applicable Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Obligations in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment (and related outstanding Obligations hereunder) and/or its outstanding Term Loans (or, if prior to the Initial Borrowing Date, Term Loan Commitment) to (i)(A) its parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or to one or more Lenders or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any Affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in bank loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an Affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor and (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least in the case of

129

assignments of, (A) for A Term Loans, $1,000,000, (B) for B Term Loans, $1,000,000 or (C) for Revolving Loans, $5,000,000 hereunder to one or more Qualified Persons (treating any fund that invests in bank loans and any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Qualified Person), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement;provided that, (i) at such time Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments (and/or outstanding Term Loans) of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon surrender of the old Notes, new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments (and/or outstanding Term Loans) and requested by such new Lender and/or assigning Lender, (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent and, with respect to assignments of Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments, each Issuing Lender shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) of this Section 13.04(b) (which consent in the case of the Administrative Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (iv) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) of this Section 13.04(b) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), it being understood and agreed that for the first 15 days following the Initial Borrowing Date, the written consent of the Borrower shall not be required in connection with any such assignments to the extent occurring in connection with the primary syndication of this facility;provided that the Borrower has approved all such Lenders prior to the Initial Borrowing Date and (v) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and,provided,further, that such transfer or assignment will not be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.16 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender will be permitted to assign Loans to the Borrower pursuant to an Auction under Section 2.17. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a person which is not already a Lender for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 5.04(b), to the extent such forms would provide a complete exemption from or reduction in U.S. withholding tax (including backup withholding, as applicable. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13, Section 2.15 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.05, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (alt hough the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) If any Gaming Authority shall determine that any Lender is not qualified as an approved financial source or otherwise does not meet the standards pursuant to the Gaming Regulations in the relevant jurisdiction, or any Gaming Authority with jurisdiction over the Gaming Business shall determine that any Lender does not meet its suitability standards (in any

130

such case, a “Former Lender”), the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender or the Borrower shall have the right (but not the duty) to designate a lender or lenders (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”, which may be any Lender or Lenders that agree to become a Substitute Lender and, if not an existing Lender, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to the extent provided in Section 13.04(b)) that has agreed to assume the rights and obligations of the Former Lender, subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such Substitute Lender is a Qualified Person, or has a reasonable basis for a belief that the Substitute Lender is eligible to be a Qualified Person, and in compliance with Gaming Regulations. The Substitute Lender shall assume the rights and obligations of the Former Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, which assumption shall be required to comply with, and shall become effective in accordance with, the provisions of Section 13.04(b);provided that the purchase price to be paid by the Substitute Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Former Lender for such assumption shall equal the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of any Notes held or Loans made by the Former Lender plus accrued interest thereon plus (ii) the Former Lender’sprorata share of the aggregate amount of Drawings under all Letters of Credit that have not been reimbursed by the Borrower, plus accrued interest thereon, plus (iii) such Former Lender’sprorata share of accrued Fees to the date of the assumption, and,provided,further, the Borrower shall pay all obligations owing to the Former Lender under the Credit Documents (including all obligations, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11, but excluding those amounts in respect of which the purchase price is being paid as provided above). Each Lender agrees that if it becomes a Former Lender, upon payment to it by the Borrower of all such amounts, if any, owing to it under the Credit Documents, it will execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption Agreement upon payment of such purchase price.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section 13.04, but subject to applicable Gaming Regulations, if any Lender becomes a Former Lender, and if the Administrative Agent or the Borrower fails to find a Substitute Lender pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section within any time period specified by the appropriate Gaming Authority for the withdrawal of a Former Lender (the “Withdrawal Period”), the Borrower shall immediately (i) prepay in full the outstanding principal amount of each Note held or Loan made by such Former Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the earlier of (x) the date of payment or (y) the last day of any Withdrawal Period, and (ii) at the option of the Borrower either (A) place an amount equal to such Former Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage in each Letter of Credit in a separate cash collateral account with the Administrative Agent for each outstanding Letter of Credit, which amount will be applied by the Administrative Agent to satisfy the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations to the respective Issuing Lender in respect of Drawings under the applicable Letter of Credit or (B) if no Default or Event of Default then exists, terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Former Lender at which time the other Lenders’ Revolving Loan Percentages will be automatically adjusted as a result thereof;provided that the option specified in this clause (B) may only be exercised if, immediately after giving effect thereto no Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans, when added to the product of (a) such Lender’s RL Percentage and (b) the sum of (I) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment at such time.

131

(e) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 13.04(e), each Lender agrees that all participations and assignments made hereunder shall be subject to, and made in compliance with, all Gaming Regulations applicable to lenders. Each Lender agrees further that it will not grant participations or assignments (other than to funds that invest in bank loans and are managed by the same investment advisor of such assigning Lender) prior to receiving notice from the Administrative Agent that it has completed the primary syndication of this facility. The Administrative Agent shall provide such notice to the Lenders and the Borrower promptly after completing such primary syndication. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that unless the Borrower has provided the Lenders with a written opinion of counsel as to the suitability standards applicable to lenders of any relevant Gaming Authority with jurisdiction over the Gaming Business, no Lender shall have the responsibility of determining whether or not a potential assignee of such Lender would be a Qualified Person under the Gaming Regulations of any such jurisdiction (provided that any relevant Gaming Authority may nonetheless determine such assignee not to be a Qualified Person).

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with notice to the Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee.

13.05No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or lender’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or

132

interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount;provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require or permit a Lender to obtain or receive a nonprorata amount of any payment or Obligation.

13.07Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders and except that quarterly financial statements may not include notes and are subject to year-end adjustments);provided that, (i) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations of Excess Cash Flow (including the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Percentage), the Applicable Margin and the determination of Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Expense Coverage Ratio, and all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining compliance with Sections 9.13 and 10.07 and the Financial Covenants, inclusive, shall utilize GAAP and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the audited historical financial statements referred to in Section 8.05(a), (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all such financial statements shall be prepared, and all financial covenants contained herein or in any other Credit Document shall be calculated, in each case, without giving effect to any election under FASB ASC 825 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair value thereof and (iii) to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis. In the event of any changes (“Accounting Changes”) in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion of the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC, if such Accounting Changes result in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms of this Agreement, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall

133

have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated as if such Accounting Changes had not occurred.

(b) All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (except for interest calculated by reference to the Prime Lending Rate, which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day; except that in the case of Letter of Credit Fees and Facing Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Commission or Fees are payable.

13.08GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN CERTAIN OF THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. THE BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ANY CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(b) THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

13.12Amendment or Waiver; etc. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party hereto or thereto and the Required Lenders (although additional parties may be added to (and annexes may be modified to reflect such additions), and Subsidiaries of the Borrower may be released from, the Subsidiary Guaranty and the Security Documents in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof without the consent of the other Credit Parties party thereto or the Required Lenders);provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of (I) each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) in the case of following clauses (ii)-(v), (II) each Lender whose Obligations are being affected in the case of following clause (i) or (III) each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) with Obligations being directly affected in the case of following clause (vi),

135

the respective amendment or modification was not to decrease the pricing pursuant to this Agreement), or reduce the principal amount thereof (except to the extent repaid in cash);

(ii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents or all or substantially all of Subsidiary Guarantors (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents, including any Security Document);

provided,further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment or a mandatory repayment of Loans shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of such Lender), (2) without the consent of the Swingline Lender, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Swingline Lender or with respect to Swingline Loans (including, without limitation, the obligations of the other Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments to fund Mandatory Borrowings), (3) without the consent of the Issuing Lender, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 or alter its rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued by that Issuing Lender, (4) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, (5) without the consent of the Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent, (6) except in cases where additional extensions of Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans are being afforded substantially the same treatment afforded to the Term Loans and Revolving Loans

136

pursuant to this Agreement on the Effective Date, without the consent of the Majority Lenders of each Tranche which is being allocated a lesser prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction as a result of the actions described below, alter the required application of any prepayments or repayments (or commitment reduction), as between the various Tranches, pursuant to Section 5.02(h) (it being understood, however, that (x) the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction, so long as the application, as amongst the various Tranches, of any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction which is still required to be made is not altered and (y) any conversion of any Tranche of Loans into another Tranche of Loans hereunder in like principal amount shall not be considered a “prepayment” or “repayment” for purposes of this clause (6)), or (7) without the consent of the Majority Lenders of the respective Tranche affected thereby, amend the definition of Majority Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Majority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Commitments are included on the Effective Date).

(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination to or of any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 13.12(a), 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 the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of the Borrower, if the respective Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Tranches of Loans (or related Commitments), to replace only the respective Tranche or Tranches of Commitments and/or Loans of the respective non-consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (if such Lender’s consent is required as a result of its Revolving Loan Commitment) and/or repay each Tranche of outstanding Loans of such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s consent and/or cash collateralize its applicable RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit of Outstandings, in accordance with Sections 4.02(b) and/or 5.01(b);provided that, unless the Commitments which are terminated, and Loans which are repaid, pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B) the Required Lenders (determined both (x) before giving effect to the proposed action and (y) as if the Loans and Commitments being terminated (and not replaced) were not outstanding) shall specifically consent thereto;provided,further, that in any event the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, each Issuing

137

Lender and the Swingline Lender) if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment (including pursuant to an assignment to a Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 13.04) in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement and (y) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders (other than for Incremental Loans permitted under Section 2.15), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

13.13Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01, 13.06 and 13.16 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Loans.

13.14Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes giving rise to such increased costs after the date of the respective transfer to the extent such costs would have been applicable had such transfer not occurred).

13.15Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.15, each Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior written consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors, agents, representatives or counsel or to another Lender, if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.15 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document;provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.15 by such Lender), (b) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling

138

applicable to such Lender, (e) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (f) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender;provided that such prospective transferee agrees with such Lender on terms and conditions substantially the same as those contained in this Section 13.15 and (g) to any Person (or such Person’s investment advisor) with whom such Lender has entered into or proposes to enter into (in each case either directly or indirectly) any credit swap agreement with respect to such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments;provided such Person (and such investment advisor, if any) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.15.

(b) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its Affiliates any information related to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole judgment determines that any such party should have access to such information in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction;provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.15 to the same extent as such Lender and provided such sharing of information is undertaken in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction.

13.16Registry. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.16, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register upon and only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). Upon such acceptance and recordation, the assignee specified therein shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.16 except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in

139

the Register that are applicable to such Lender) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Any Lender granting a participation shall keep a register, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose, specifying such participant’s entitlement to payments of principal, interest and other amounts with respect to such participation (the “Participant Register”). The entries in such Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, Lender, and any participant may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a participant for all purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed 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 Loan or other obligation under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code.

13.17Application of Gaming Regulations. This Agreement is subject to the Gaming Regulations and laws involving the manufacture, sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages (the “Liquor Laws”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that (i) they are subject to being called forward by the Gaming Authorities or such other Governmental Authorities enforcing the Liquor Laws, in their discretion, for licensing or a finding of suitability or to file or provide other information, and (ii) all rights, remedies and powers in or under this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Regulations and Liquor Laws and only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the requisite Gaming Authorities and such other Governmental Authorities. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to cooperate with all Gaming Authorities and such other Governmental Authorities in connection with the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by such Gaming Authorities and such other Governmental Authorities.

13.18USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act, and each Credit Party agrees to provide such information from time to time to any Lender.

13.19Post-Closing Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all conditions precedent and representations, warranties, covenants, Events of Default and other provisions contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified as set forth on Schedule 13.19 hereto (and to permit the taking of the actions described therein within the time periods required therein, rather than as elsewhere provided in the Credit Documents);provided that (x) to the extent any representation and warranty would not be true because the actions set forth therein were not taken on the Initial Borrowing Date, the

140

respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at the time the respective action is taken (or was required to be taken) in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 13.19 and (y) all representations and warranties relating to the Security Documents shall be required to be true immediately after the actions required to be taken by Schedule 13.19 have been taken (or were required to be taken). The acceptance of the benefits of each Credit Event shall constitute a representation, warranty and covenant by the Borrower to each of the Lenders that the actions required pursuant to this Section 13.19 and Schedule 13.19 will be, or have been, taken within the relevant time periods referred to in Schedule 13.19 and that, at such time, all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall then be true and correct in all material respects without any modification pursuant to this Section 13.19 or Schedule 13.19, and the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the failure to take any of the actions required pursuant to Schedule 13.19, within the relevant time periods required therein, shall give rise to an immediate Event of Default pursuant to this Agreement.

13.20Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

141

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their duly authorized officers to execute and deliver this Agreement as of the date first above written.

SCHEDULE 2.17

DUTCH AUCTION PROCEDURES

ThisSchedule 2.17is intended to summarize certain basic terms of the modified Dutchauction procedures pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions ofSection 2.17of the Credit Agreement, of which thisSchedule 2.17is a part. It is not intended to be a definitive statement of all of the terms and conditions of a Dutch auction, the definitive terms and conditions for which shall be set forth in the applicable offering document. None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, or any of their respective affiliates or any officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact of such Persons (together with the Administrative Agent and its affiliates, the “Agent-Related Person”) makes any recommendation pursuant to any offering document as to whether or not any Lender should sell its Loans to the Borrower pursuant to any offering documents, nor shall the decision by the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager or any other Agent-Related Person (or any of their affiliates) in its respective capacity as a Lender to sell its Loans to the Borrower be deemed to constitute such a recommendation. Each Lender should make its own decision on whether to sell any of its Loans and, if it decides to do so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Loans. In addition, each Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning each Auction and the relevant offering documents. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in thisSchedule 2.17have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

(a) Notice Procedures. In connection with each Auction, the Borrower will provide notification to the Auction Manager (for distribution to the Lenders of the Loans (each, an “Auction Notice”)). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Loans that the Borrower offers to purchase in such Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $5,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent); (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000 (in increments of $5), at which the Borrower would be willing to purchase Loans in such Auction; and (iii) the date on which such Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (as defined below) will be due by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) (as such date and time may be extended by the Auction Manager, such time the “Expiration Time”). Such Expiration Time may be extended for a period not exceeding three (3) Business Days upon notice by the Borrower to the Auction Manager received not less than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time;provided that only one extension per offer shall be permitted. An Auction shall be regarded as a “failed auction” in the event that either (x) the Borrower withdraws such Auction in accordance with the terms hereof or (y) the Expiration Time occurs with no Qualifying Bids (as defined below) having been received. In the event of a failed auction, the Borrower shall not be permitted to deliver a new Auction Notice prior to the date occurring three (3) Business Days after such withdrawal or Expiration Time, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not initiate any Auction by delivering an Auction Notice to the Auction Manager until after the conclusion (whether successful or failed) of the previous Auction (if any), whether such conclusion occurs by withdrawal of such previous Auction or the occurrence of the Expiration Time of such previous Auction.

(b) Reply Procedures. In connection with any Auction, each Lender of Loans wishing

to participate in such Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a notice of participation, in the form included in the respective offering document (each, a “Return Bid”) which shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price per $1,000 (in increments of $5) in principal amount of Loans (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Loans, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, that such Lender offers for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”). A Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount comprises the entire amount of the Loans held by such Lender. Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction but each Return Bid may contain up to three (3) component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, an assignment and acceptance in the form included in the offering document (each, an “Auction Assignment and Assumption”). The Borrower will not purchase any Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price.

(c) Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Borrower, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for such Auction within the Discount Range for such Auction that will allow the Borrower to complete the Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Loans for which the Borrower has received Qualifying Bids). The Borrower shall purchase Loans from each Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). All Loans included in Qualifying Bids (including multiple component Qualifying Bids contained in a single Return Bid) received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at such applicable Reply Prices and shall not be subject to proration.

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

(e) Notification Procedures. The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price and post the Applicable Threshold Price and proration factor onto an internet or intranet site (including an IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other electronic workspace) in accordance with the Auction Manager’s standard dissemination practices by 4:00 p.m. New York time on the same

Business Day as the date the Return Bids were due (as such due date may be extended in accordance with thisSchedule 2.17). The Auction Manager will insert the principal amount of Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date into each applicable Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. Upon the request of the submitting Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.

(f) Auction Assignment and Assumption. Each Auction Assignment and Assumption shall contain the following representations and warranties by the Borrower:

	(i)		The conditions set forth inSection 2.17(a) of the Credit Agreement have each been satisfied on and as of the date hereof.

	(ii)		The representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Credit Party contained inSection 8 of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than any representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes hereof, the representations and warranties contained in Section 8.05 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to the terms of Credit Agreement

(g) Additional Procedures. Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Borrower may withdraw an Auction only in the event that, a) as of such time, no Qualifying Bid has been received by the Auction Manager, or b) Borrower has failed to meet a condition set forth in Section 2.17(a) of the Credit Agreement. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Lender of a Return Bid, such Lender will not have any withdrawal rights. Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled by a Lender. However, an Auction may become void if the conditions to the purchase of Loans by the Borrower required by the terms and conditions of Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement are not met. The purchase price in respect of each Qualifying Bid for which purchase by the Borrower is required in accordance with the foregoing provisions shall be paid directly by the Borrower to the respective assigning Lender on a settlement date as determined jointly by the Borrower and the Auction Manager (which shall be not later than ten (10) Business Days after the date Return Bids are due). The Borrower shall execute each applicable Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Loans that are the subject of an Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Borrower, and their determination will be final and binding so long as such determination is not inconsistent with the terms of Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement or this Schedule 2.17. The Auction Manager’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the offering document, in consultation with the

Borrower, will be final and binding so long as such interpretation is not inconsistent with the terms of Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement or this Schedule 2.17. None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, any other Agent-Related Person or any of their respective affiliates assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Borrower, the Credit Parties, or any of their affiliates (whether contained in an offering document or otherwise) or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information. This Schedule 2.17 shall not require the Borrower to initiate any Auction.
