This Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated as of December 29, 2006, is entered into among Dominion Homes, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), the institutions from time to time party hereto as lenders, whether by execution of this Agreement or an Assignment and Acceptance (individually, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), each of Silver Point Finance, LLC (“Silver Point”) and The Huntington National Bank (“Huntington”) as issuing banks for any Letters of Credit issued hereunder (each an “Issuing Bank” and collectively, the “Issuing Banks”), Huntington, in its separate capacity as Administrative Agent for the Lenders and such Issuing Banks (with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and Silver Point, in its separate capacity as Senior Administrative Agent for the Lenders and such Issuing Banks (with its successors in such capacity, the “Senior Administrative Agent”), and amends and restates in its entirety a certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 3, 2003 (as amended, modified, or supplemented prior to the Closing Date, the “Prior Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Huntington, as administrative agent for such lenders and issuing bank thereunder.

1.	AMOUNT AND TERMS OF EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT

1.1.	Amendment and Restatement.

The Indebtedness and obligations evidenced by this Agreement and all instruments, agreements, and documents executed in connection herewith constitute an amendment, renewal, and restatement of all Indebtedness and obligations of the Company evidenced by the Prior Credit Agreement. All promissory notes, instruments, applications for Letters of Credit, Letter of Credit reimbursement agreements, and any other document, agreement, waiver or other instrument executed in connection therewith (collectively the “Existing Loan Documents”) shall remain in full force and effect except to extent modified by this Agreement or modified or replaced by the Loan Documents. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that this Agreement is in no way intended to constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Prior Credit Agreement or evidence payment in full of all or any of such obligations and liabilities. All references to the Prior Credit Agreement in the Existing Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement. If any inconsistency exists between this Agreement and the Prior Credit Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other document or instrument executed contemporaneously herewith shall be deemed to satisfy or discharge the Indebtedness evidenced by the Prior Credit Agreement or the Existing Loan Documents (this being an amendment and restatement only).

1.2.	Restructuring of Existing Credits.

(a)Restructuring. Effective as of the Closing Date, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, all outstanding credits under the Prior Credit Agreement shall be restructured hereunder as follows:

(i) all outstanding letters of credit issued pursuant to the Prior Credit Agreement shall automatically become Letters of Credit hereunder; and

(ii) all outstanding loans under the Prior Credit Agreement shall automatically become Term A Loans and Term B Loans in the amounts, and owing to the Lenders, set forth onAppendix A-1 andAppendix A-2, respectively;provided,however, that any amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement in excess of the sum of (i) the Term A Loan Amount and (ii) the Term B Loan Amount shall be deemed to be Revolving Loans hereunder.

(b)Reallocation. To effectuate the foregoing, on the Closing Date, each of the lenders under the Existing Loan Documents that is not a Lender hereunder, or which has a Term A Loan Commitment and/or a Term B Loan Commitment hereunder that is less than the aggregate amount of loans that it holds under the Prior Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Decreasing Term Lenders”) shall be deemed to have sold and assigned to the Lenders who have a Term A Loan Commitment and/or a Term B Loan Commitment hereunder that in the aggregate is in excess of the amount of loans they hold under the Prior Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Increasing Term Lenders”), and each of the Increasing Term Lenders shall be deemed to have purchased and assumed from the Decreasing Term Lenders, at the principal amount thereof, such interests, rights and obligations with respect to the loans under the Prior Credit Agreement of the Decreasing Term Lenders outstanding on the Closing Date (all such interests, rights and obligations to be referred to herein as the “Assigned Interests”), as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such sales and assignments and purchases and assumptions, (i) the Increasing Term Lenders will hold the principal amount of Term A Loans and Term B Loans set forth opposite their names onAppendix A-1 andAppendix A-2, as the case may be, hereto, (ii) the Decreasing Term Lenders will hold the principal amount of Term A Loans and Term B Loans (in either case, if any) set forth opposite their names onAppendix A-1 andAppendix A-2, as the case may be, hereto and (iii) the Term Lenders that are neither Decreasing Term Lenders nor Increasing Term Lenders (the “Unchanged Term Lenders”) will hold the principal amount of Term A Loans and Term B Loans set forth opposite their names inAppendix A-1 andAppendix A-2, as the case may be, hereto. Such sales and assignments and purchases and assumptions shall be made on the terms set forth inExhibit E to the Prior Credit Agreement, and shall be deemed to comply with Section 12.3 of the Prior Credit Agreement, notwithstanding the failure of such sales, assignments, purchases and assumptions to comply with the minimum assignment requirement of the Prior Credit Agreement, the requirement to pay the processing and recordation fees of the Prior Credit Agreement or the requirement to execute and deliver a notice of assignment in respect thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Decreasing Term Lender and Increasing Term Lender hereby makes the representations and warranties required to be made under suchExhibit E by an assignor and assignee, respectively, with respect to the Assigned Interests being assigned or assumed by such Person hereunder, and each Decreasing Term Lender confirms that its Assigned Interests are being delivered free and clear of any Lien or other encumbrance.

(c) On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Increasing Term Lender purchasing and assuming the Assigned Interests pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall pay the purchase price for the Assigned Interests purchased by it pursuant to such paragraph (b) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Senior Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) and (ii) the Senior Administrative Agent shall pay to each Decreasing Term Lender selling and assigning the Assigned Interests pursuant to paragraph (b) above, out of the amounts received by the Senior Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph (c) and from the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof, the purchase

price for the Assigned Interests assigned by such Decreasing Term Lender pursuant to such paragraph (b) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such Decreasing Term Lender to the Senior Administrative Agent.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the sales, assignments, purchases and assumptions provided for in paragraphs (b) and (c) above, and agrees that each Increasing Term Lender shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interests purchased by such Increasing Term Lender pursuant to such paragraphs or held by such Increasing Term Lender prior to the Closing Date, shall have all the rights and obligations of a Term Lender under this Agreement. Each of the Decreasing Term Lenders shall have been deemed to have consented to the sales, assignments, purchases and assumptions provided for in paragraphs (b) and (c) above by its acceptance and receipt of the wire transfer referred to in paragraph (c) above.

(e)Term Loan Maturity Dates. All Term Loan Obligations and other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Term A Loans and the Term B Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Term A Loan Maturity Date and the Term B Loan Maturity Date, respectively. Each Lender’s Term A Loan Commitment and Term B Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the restructurings hereunder in accordance with such Lender’s Term A Loan Commitment and Term B Loan Commitment, if any, on such date.

(f)Interest. Accrued interest under the Term Loans shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date.

1.3.	Revolving Loan Facility.

(a)Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender hereby severally (and not jointly) agrees to make revolving loans in Dollars (each individually a “Revolving Loan” and collectively the “Revolving Loans”) to the Company from time to time during the period from the initial advance hereunder on the Closing Date to the Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Maturity Date, in an amount not to exceed at any time outstanding such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment at such time; provided, that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans made to the Company by each Revolving Lender at any time shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Availability on such date. All Revolving Loans hereunder shall be made by such Revolving Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their then respective Revolving Loan Commitments.

(b)Revolving Loan Maximum Amount. In addition to the foregoing limitation, the Revolving Loan Obligations shall at no time exceed the Revolving Loan Maximum Amount.

(c)Frequency and Amount of Advances. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Company may borrow and repay any outstanding advance under the Revolving Loans on any Business Day, and any amounts so repaid may be reborrowed.

(d)Notices of Borrowing. When the Company desires to borrow or convert an advance hereunder, it shall deliver to the Senior Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing no later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) (i) on the Business immediately preceding the proposed funding or conversion date in the case of a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed funding or conversion date in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan. The Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the proposed funding or conversion date, (ii) the amount of the proposed advance, (iii) whether the proposed advance will be a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan, and, if a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Interest Period therefor, and (iv) instructions for the disbursement of the proceeds of the advance.

(e)Making of Revolving Loans.

(i) Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Senior Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender by telecopy or other similar form of notice of the proposed borrowing. Each Revolving Lender shall deposit with the Senior Administrative Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount requested by the Company to be made as Revolving Loans in immediately available funds on the funding date specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth below. The Senior Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such amounts it receives available to the Company at the office of the Senior Administrative Agent on such funding date and shall disburse such proceeds in accordance with the Company’s disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. The failure of any Revolving Lender to deposit the amount described with the Senior Administrative Agent on the applicable funding date shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligations hereunder to make its Revolving Loan on such funding date. No Revolving Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Revolving Lender to perform its obligation to make a Revolving Loan hereunder, nor shall the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Revolving Lender be increased or decreased as a result of such failure.

(ii) Unless the Senior Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving Lender on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable funding date in respect of any borrowing of Revolving Loans that such Revolving Lender does not intend to fund its Revolving Loan requested to be made on such funding date, the Senior Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Lender has funded its Revolving Loan and is depositing the proceeds thereof with the Senior Administrative Agent, on such funding date, and the Senior Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, disburse a corresponding amount to the Company on such funding date. If the Revolving Loan proceeds corresponding to that amount are advanced to the Company by the Senior Administrative Agent, but are not in fact deposited with the Senior Administrative Agent by such Revolving Lender on or prior to the applicable funding date, such Revolving Lender agrees to pay, and in addition the Company agrees to repay, to the Senior Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is disbursed to or for the benefit of the Company until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the Senior Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of the Company, at the interest rate applicable to such borrowing and (B) in the case of such Revolving Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day, and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to such borrowing, and without reduction by such Revolving Lender for any withholding taxes. If such Revolving Lender shall

pay to the Senior Administrative Agent the corresponding amount, the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan, and if both such Revolving Lender and the Company shall pay and repay such corresponding amount, the Senior Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Company such corresponding amount. This Section 1.3(e) does not relieve any Revolving Lender of its obligation to make its Revolving Loan on any funding date.

(f)Use of Proceeds of Revolving Loans. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans may be used (i) to fund working capital in the ordinary course of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) for other lawful general corporate purposes not prohibited hereunder (including providing cash collateral for the issuance, procurement or extension, as the case may be, of Letters of Credit hereunder). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no proceeds of Revolving Loans may be used to fund payments not permitted by this Agreement.

(g)Revolving Loan Commitment Maturity Date. The Revolving Loan Commitments shall terminate, and all outstanding Revolving Loan Obligations shall be paid in full (or, in the case of unmatured Letter of Credit Obligations, provision for payment of cash collateral shall be made to the satisfaction of each Issuing Bank having outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and the Senior Administrative Agent), on the Revolving Loan Commitment Maturity Date. Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans shall terminate at the close of business of the Senior Administrative Agent on the Business Day immediately preceding the Revolving Loan Commitment Maturity Date.

(h)Interest. Accrued interest under the Revolving Loans shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date.

1.4.	Letters of Credit.

(a)Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Bank agrees to issue, procure or extend, as the case may be, for the account of the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or an Approved Joint Venture, one or more letters of credit in Dollars (each individually a “Letter of Credit” and collectively the “Letters of Credit”) from time to time during the period from the date hereof to the Revolving Loan Commitment Maturity Date; provided that (i) the Letter of Credit Obligations shall at no time exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate, and (ii) the Revolving Loan Obligations shall at no time exceed the Revolving Loan Maximum Amount.

(b)Expiry Dates. The Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or an Approved Joint Venture, as applicable, shall have no right to obtain issuance of Letters of Credit which have an expiration date later than the earlier of (i) the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Maturity Date or (ii) 12 months from issuance of such Letter of Credit;provided,however, that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (i) above); provided that the expiry dates referred to in clause (ii) above shall not apply to the Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Prior Credit Agreement and outstanding on the Closing Date.

(c)Requirements for Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(i) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Section 6.2 (in the determination of the Senior Administrative Agent), the Company may request Huntington to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Senior Administrative Agent (i) Huntington’s standard form of Letter of Credit Application and Agreement for Standby Letter of Credit and/or Reimbursement Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (collectively, the “Huntington Letter of Credit Application”) completed to the satisfaction of Huntington, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Senior Administrative Agent or Huntington may request and (ii) a Notice of Borrowing specifying that the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be in an amount necessary to cash collateralize 100% of the Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of the requested Letter of Credit to secure the Letter of Credit Obligations.

(ii) The Company may request Silver Point to procure the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Senior Administrative Agent the application for each such Letter of Credit, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Administrative Agent and Silver Point and shall be duly completed in a manner and at a time reasonably acceptable to the Senior Administrative Agent and Silver Point, together with such other certificates, agreements, documents and other papers and information as the Senior Administrative Agent and Silver Point may reasonably request (the “Silver Point Letter of Credit Application” and together with the Huntington Letter of Credit Application, each a “Letter of Credit Application”) and (ii) a Notice of Borrowing specifying that the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be in an amount necessary to cash collateralize 100% of the Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of the requested Letter of Credit to secure the Letter of Credit Obligations.

(iii) In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, for purposes of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(iv) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, provide for the payment of sight drafts when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein. Each Letter of Credit Application and each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, and any amendments or revision thereof and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York.

(v) In connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Company shall indemnify, save and hold the Issuing Bank issuing, procuring or extending, as the case may be, such Letter of Credit, the Senior Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, and each Revolving Lender harmless from any loss, cost, expense or liability, including, without limitation, payments made by such Issuing Bank, the Senior Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender, and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by any of the same arising out of, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or any Approved Joint Venture. The Company and each Restricted Subsidiary or Approved Joint Venture shall be bound by such Issuing Bank’s or any issuing or accepting bank’s regulations and good faith interpretations of any Letter of

Credit, regardless of whether any such interpretation may be different from that of the account party of such Letter of Credit. Neither such Issuing Bank, the Senior Administrative Agent nor any Revolving Lender, nor any of their respective correspondents, shall be liable for any error, negligence, or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the instructions of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or Approved Joint Venture, those contained in any Letter of Credit or in any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto or in issuing or paying any Letter of Credit, except in the case of the Senior Administrative Agent’s, any Lender’s, such Issuing Bank’s or such correspondent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(vi) The Company shall authorize and direct Huntington with respect to each Letter of Credit issued or extended, as the case may be, by it to name the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or an Approved Joint Venture as the “Account Party” therein and shall deliver to Huntington, upon request of Huntington, all instruments, documents, and other writings and property pursuant to the Letter of Credit and shall accept and rely upon Huntington’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit or the application therefor.

(vii) The Company shall authorize and direct Silver Point with respect to each Letter of Credit procured by it to name the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or an Approved Joint Venture as the “Account Party” therein and shall deliver to Silver Point, upon request of Silver Point, all instruments, documents, and other writings and property pursuant to the Letter of Credit and shall accept and rely upon Silver Point’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit or the application therefor.

(d)Funding of Letter of Credit Issuances; Participations.

(i) Upon receipt of the Notice of Borrowing requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof, the Senior Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender shall promptly and unconditionally advance to the Senior Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment for deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account of the appropriate Issuing Bank. All such advances made to the Company shall constitute Revolving Loans hereunder. Any interest earned on funds deposited in the appropriate L/C Cash Collateral Account shall be credited to the Company.

(ii) One Business Day after delivery of the applicable Letter of Credit Application and receipt of such funds by 12:00 Noon (New York time) in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue, procure, or extend, as the case may be, a Letter of Credit in the face amount stated on the applicable Letter of Credit Application for such Letter of Credit. No Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue or procure a Letter of Credit until the Company or the Revolving Lenders have deposited all such funds in the appropriate L/C Cash Collateral Account. Upon issuance, procurement or extension, as the case may be, of a Letter of Credit by an Issuing Bank in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.4, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and irretrievably purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit to the extent of Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share.

(iii) Whenever (A) a Letter of Credit shall expire or be cancelled and returned to an Issuing Bank or (B) an Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, as to which any Revolving Lender has made a Revolving Loan pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 1.4(d), such Issuing Bank shall promptly forward such amount to the Senior Administrative Agent, who shall allocate such payment to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares thereof.

regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect, or the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lenders with any request or directive of such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation, exchange controls, it is impracticable, unlawful or impossible for such Lenders (i) to make the relevant LIBOR Rate Loan or (ii) to continue such advance as a LIBOR Rate Loan or (iii) to convert an advance to a LIBOR Rate Loan, then the Company shall not be entitled, so long as such circumstances continue, to request a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to such advance from the Lenders.

Period, (c) as a consequence of a required conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in Section 3.7 or 3.9, or (d) as a consequence of any failure by the Company to repay a LIBOR Rate Loan when required by the terms hereof.

Such fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears, beginning on the last day of March 2007, and continuing on the last day of each June, September, December, and March thereafter.

(d) The Company agrees to pay to the Senior Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent such other fees as the Company is obligated to pay pursuant to the Senior Administrative Agent Letter Agreement and the Administrative Agent Letter Agreement, respectively.

(e) In the event that the Company shall have any Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year of the Company (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2007), the Company shall, not later than ninety (90) days after the end of such Fiscal Year, apply 100% of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow to make or cause to be made a mandatory prepayment of the Term A Loans in an amount equal to 101% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount thereof.

3.17.

Application of Prepayments.

(a)Application of Voluntary Prepayments of Loans. Any prepayment of any Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be applied to repay outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof. Any voluntary prepayment of any Term Loan pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be applied to repay outstanding Term Loans as the Company shall designate and, in the case of prepayments of Term A Loans, shall be further applied ratably to reduce the remaining scheduled Installments of principal of the Term A Loans.

(b)Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Except as required pursuant to Section 10.3 after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any mandatory prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 3.16 shall be applied as follows:

first, to the payment of all expenses and fees to the full extent thereof;

second, to the payment of any accrued interest and Letter of Credit fees at the Default Rate, if any;

third, to the payment of the Term A Loan Applicable Prepayment Premium, the Term B Loan Applicable Prepayment Premium and/or the Term B Loan Make-Whole Premium (as applicable);

fourth, to the payment of any accrued interest and Letter of Credit fees on the applicable Loans being prepaid (other than that calculated at the Default Rate);

(c)Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans.

3.18.

General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by the Company of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without, recoupment, setoff, counterclaim or other defense free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Senior Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date due to the Senior Administrative Agent’s Account for the account of Lenders; funds received by the Senior Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Company on the next Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid.

(c) The Senior Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees and premiums payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Senior Administrative Agent.

(d) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period,” whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day,

such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder.

(e) The Senior Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of the Company hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) to be a non conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Senior Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Interest and Letter of Credit fees shall continue to accrue on any principal or Letter of Credit Outstandings as to which a non conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate determined pursuant to Section 3.12 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(f) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and not otherwise been waived, all payments or proceeds received by the Senior Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations shall be applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in Section 10.3.

3.19.

Right of First Refusal.

The Company agrees that if on or prior to the Term A Loan Maturity Date or within 180 days following the Term A Loan Maturity Date it appoints a third party to arrange a transaction in which the Company intends to incur Indebtedness from one or more lenders for the purpose of refinancing the Term A Loans and such third party arranger has received a commitment for such refinancing from third party lenders that the Company proposes to accept (any such transaction, a “Term A Loan Refinancing”), the Company will give notice (the “ROFR Notice”) to those Original Term B Lenders that continue to have Term B Loans outstanding on the date of the ROFR Notice. The ROFR Notice shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed Term A Loan Refinancing and shall invite such Original Term B Lenders to provide the full amount of the Term A Loan Refinancing (on terms and conditions substantially similar to those offered by the third party lenders offering the Term A Loan Refinancing). The Original Term B Lenders shall within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the ROFR Notice notify the Company (the “Response Notice”) either that they intend to accept the invitation to provide the full amount of the Term A Loan Refinancing on the terms and conditions as aforesaid, or decline to provide the Term A Loan Refinancing. If the Original Term B Lenders shall fail to give the Response Notice, they shall be considered to have declined to provide the Term Loan A Refinancing. If the Original Term B Lenders accept the invitation to provide the full amount of the Term A Loan Refinancing as aforesaid, the Company and the Original Term B Lenders shall negotiate in good faith definitive documentation for the Term A Loan Refinancing. If (i) the Original Term B Lenders decline to provide the Term A Loan Refinancing, either pursuant to the Response Notice or by failing to give the Response Notice, or (ii) the Original Term B Lenders have not entered into definitive documentation for, and consummated, the Term A Loan Refinancing within 60 days after receipt by the Company of the Response Notice, the Original Term B Lenders shall have no further rights under this Section 3.19.

3.20.

(a) All sums payable by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its Approved Joint Ventures (each a “Credit Party” and collectively, the “Credit Parties”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax, whether imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of any Credit Party or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment or otherwise.

(b) If any Credit Party is required by law to make any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable under any of the Credit Documents: (i) the Company shall notify the Senior Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Company becomes aware of it; (ii) the Company shall pay any such Tax to the Governmental Authority that imposed such tax in accordance with applicable law and before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on an Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank; (iii) the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment of all Covered Taxes, such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and each of their Tax-Related Persons receives on the due date and retains a net sum equal to what it would have received and retained had no such deduction, withholding or payment of Covered Taxes been required or made; and (iv) within thirty (30) days after making any such deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, the Company shall deliver to the Senior Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding and payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing authority; provided, no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender under clause (iii) above in respect of United States withholding taxes except to the extent that (a) any change after the date such Lender became a Lender under the Prior Credit Agreement, in the case of each such Lender, or becomes a Lender hereunder, in the case of each other Lender in any such requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment as is mentioned therein shall result in an increase in the rate of such deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at such date, in respect of payments to such Lender or (b) such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled at the time of assignment to receive additional amounts from a Credit Party with respect to such withholding tax.

(c) In addition, the Credit Parties shall pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities in accordance with applicable law. The Credit Parties shall deliver to the Senior Administrative Agent official receipts or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to the Senior Administrative Agent in respect of any Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Other Taxes.

(d) The Credit Parties shall indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Covered Taxes and Other Taxes paid or incurred by such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank or their respective Tax-Related Persons, as the case may be, relating to, arising out of, or in connection with any Loan Document or any payment or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the Credit Parties shall not be required to indemnify the Lenders for any Covered Taxes that would be excluded from a gross-up pursuant to the proviso under Section 3.20(b). In addition, the Credit Parties shall indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank for any incremental Taxes that may become payable by such Person or their respective Tax-Related Persons as a result of the failure of the Credit Parties to deliver to the Senior Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.20(b)(iv) or Section 3.20(c) documentation evidencing the payment of Taxes or Other Taxes. Such indemnification shall be made on an after-Tax basis, such that after all required deductions and payments of all Taxes (including income Taxes and deductions applicable to amounts payable under this Section 3.20(d)) and payment of all reasonable expenses, the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and each of their respective Tax-Related Persons receives and retains an amount equal to the sum they would have received and retained had they not paid or incurred or been subject to such Taxes.

(e) Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) shall, at the reasonable request of the Company or the Senior Administrative Agent, deliver to the Senior Administrative Agent two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form), properly completed and duly executed, certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States backup withholding; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver such forms shall not subject any Lender that may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii) to backup withholding.

(f) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall if legally entitled to do so deliver to the Senior Administrative Agent for transmission to the Company (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents or is subject to deduction or withholding at a reduced rate, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Loan Documents. Such forms and/or certificates that a Non-U.S. Lender is legally entitled to deliver shall be delivered by such Lender on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender). In addition, a

Non- U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms or certificates that it is legally entitled to deliver whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms or certificates previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Senior Administrative Agent at any time that it determines that it is not able to provide any such forms or certificates. Nothing in this Section 3.20 shall be construed to require a Lender, an Issuing Bank, an Agent or a Participant to provide any forms or documentation that it is not legally entitled to provide.

3.21.

Obligation to Mitigate.

Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Revolving Loan Commitments or Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would entitle such Lender to receive additional payments under Section 3.14 or Section 3.20, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the generally applicable internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to take such measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amount which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 3.14 or Section 3.20 would be materially reduced, and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole reasonable discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Loan Commitment or Loans in accordance with such measures would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans or the interests of such Lender;provided,however, that in no event will any Lender be required to assign or otherwise transfer any interest in any Loan or Revolving Loan Commitment as a result of this Section 3.21.

(a)Proceedings. In the event of any Proceeding involving any Loan Party:

(i) Except as otherwise specifically permitted in this Section 5.3, until the First Lien Obligations have been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, the Term B Lenders shall not assert, without the written consent of the Required First Lien Lenders, any claim, motion, objection or argument in respect of the Collateral in connection with such Proceeding which could otherwise be asserted or raised in connection with such Proceeding by the Term B Lenders as secured creditors of the Loan Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Term B Lender agrees that it will (i) not object to or oppose a sale or other disposition of any Collateral free and clear of Liens or other claims of the Term B Lenders under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other law applicable to such Proceeding if the relevant Required First Lien Lenders have consented to such sale or disposition and the respective interests of the Term B Lenders attach to the proceeds thereof in their respective order of priority, subject in any event to the provisions hereof, (ii) not challenge any cash collateral or debtor-in-possession financing requested by the Senior Administrative Agent or the Required First Lien Lenders, (iii) turn over to the Senior Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties any “adequate protection” of their interest in any Collateral that they receive in any Proceeding to the extent necessary to pay the First Lien Obligations owed to the First Lien Secured Parties and (iv) not seek to have the automatic stay lifted with respect to any Collateral, to appoint a Chapter 11 trustee or examiner under Section 1104 of the Bankruptcy Code or to convert or dismiss such Proceeding under Section 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case without the prior written consent of the Required First Lien Lenders;provided that if the Senior Administrative Agent seeks such aforementioned relief, the Lenders shall join in any such motion or application seeking such relief.

(iii) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Senior Administrative Agent may file proofs of claim and other pleadings and motions with respect to any First Lien Obligations, any Term B Loan Obligations or the Collateral in any Proceeding. If a proper proof of claim has not been filed in the form required in such Proceeding at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the time for filing thereof, the

Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the duty) to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Term B Lenders with respect to any of the Term B Loan Obligations or any of the Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Term B Lenders hereby appoint the Senior Administrative Agent as their attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Term B Lenders and full power of substitution and in the name of the Term B Lenders or otherwise, to execute and deliver any document or instrument that the Senior Administrative Agent is required or permitted to deliver pursuant to this Section 5.3, such appointment being coupled with an interest and irrevocable.

(vi) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.3(a), (i) the Term B Lenders shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Term B Lenders, including without limitation any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, (ii) the Term B Lenders shall be entitled to file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Loan Parties arising under either the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, and (iii) the Term B Lenders shall be entitled to file any proof of claim and other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and necessary to preserve their rights, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Term B Loan Obligations and the Collateral;provided that notice of intent to take any such action shall be given by the Term B Lenders to the Senior Administrative Agent not less than the earlier of (x) ten Business Days prior to the taking of such action and (y) five Business Days less than the number of days available by order of any applicable bankruptcy court in which to file a claim.

(b)Proceeds of Collateral. In the event that any proceeds of Collateral are received by any Term B Lender for application to the Term B Loan Obligations at a time when such payment is not expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement, any such proceeds shall be received and held in trust for the First Lien Secured Parties and shall be paid over or delivered in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to the Senior Administrative Agent for the benefit of the First

Lien Secured Parties to the extent necessary to pay in full in cash or Cash Equivalents all First Lien Obligations in accordance with their terms. In the event the Term B Lenders fail to provide any endorsement, as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, the Senior Administrative Agent, or any of its officers or employees, is hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable). Upon indefeasible payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all First Lien Obligations and termination of all Revolving Loan Commitments, any remaining proceeds of Collateral shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent for application to the Term B Loan Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, except as otherwise required pursuant to applicable law.

(c)Control of Enforcement Actions. The Required First Lien Lenders (subject to the proviso below) shall have the right in accordance with applicable laws and the Security Documents to direct the Senior Administrative Agent to enforce the Security Documents (i) by judicial proceedings for the enforcement of the security interests created under the Security Documents, (ii) by the sale of the Collateral or any part thereof, (iii) otherwise by the exercise of the power of entry or sale herein conferred or conferred by the Security Documents or (iv) by taking any other enforcement action against, or exercising any other remedies with respect to, the Collateral;provided that the Term B Lenders shall not have any of the rights or powers specified above in this Section 5.3(c) until such time as the First Lien Obligations have been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents and all Revolving Loan Commitments have been terminated, whereupon the Required Term B Lenders shall have the exclusive right to act on behalf of the Term B Lenders to exercise the rights or powers specified in this Section 5.3. Except as the same relates to the Collateral or as otherwise expressly prohibited by this Agreement, the Lenders may exercise any right or power, enforce any remedy, give any direction, consent or waiver or make any determination, under or in respect of any provision of any Loan Documents to which it is a party.

(d)Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Section 5.3 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the First Lien Secured Parties on the one hand and the Term B Lenders on the other hand. None of the Loan Parties shall have any rights under this Section 5.3. Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Loan Parties, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.

(e)Nature of Obligations; Post-Petition Interest. Each of the Senior Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Term B Lenders, and each of the Term B Lenders hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Term B Lenders claims against the Loan Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute junior claims separate and apart (and of a different class) from the senior claims of the First Lien Secured Parties against the Loan Parties in respect of the Collateral and (ii) the First Lien Obligations include all interest that accrues after the commencement of any case, proceeding or other action relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceeding of any Loan Party at the rate provided for in the applicable Loan Documents governing the same, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is allowed in any such case, proceeding or other action. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims against the Loan Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than

separate classes of senior and junior claims), then each of the Senior Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Term B Lenders, and each of the Term B Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions pursuant to Section 3.17 and Section 10.3 or otherwise shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Loan Parties in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Senior Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Term B Lenders), the First Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest at the relevant contract rate (even though such claims may or may not be allowed in whole or in part in the respective bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Senior Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Term B Lenders, with the Senior Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent and each of the Term B Lenders hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the holders of the First Lien Obligations all amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent needed to effectuate the intent of this sentence even if such turnover of amounts has the effect of reducing the amount of the claim of the Term B Lenders).

(f)Purchase Option. (i) At any time from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Event, the Senior Administrative Agent shall have the continuing option (the “Purchase Option”), but not the obligation, exercisable by delivery of an irrevocable written notice to the Senior Administrative Agent (a “Purchase Notice”), as representative of the First Lien Lenders, to acquire for the benefit of the Committed Term B Lenders all (but not less than all) of the right, title, and interest of the First Lien Lenders in and to the First Lien Obligations and the Loan Documents; provided that:

(a) the Senior Administrative Agent shall have received written instructions from one or more of the Term B Lenders (the “Committed Term B Lenders”) to consummate the Purchase Option;

(b) the Senior Administrative Agent shall have received the full amount of the Trigger Purchase Price from the Committed Term B Lenders;

(c) the Senior Administrative Agent shall have been indemnified, in form and substance satisfactory to the Senior Administrative Agent, by the Committed Term B Lenders.

(ii) Each First Lien Lender hereby agrees to sell, transfer and assign all of its interest in the First Lien Obligations and the Loan Documents upon exercise of the Purchase Option in accordance with this Agreement. Each First Lien Lender agrees to execute and deliver a countersigned copy of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement for 100% of the First Lien Loan Obligations held by such First Lien Lender to effectuate the sale pursuant to the Purchase Option. The sale shall be without representation and warranty of any kind other than those set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and subject only to receipt of such First Lien Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Trigger Purchase Price.

(iii) On the date specified by the Senior Administrative Agent in the Purchase Notice (which date shall not be more than 5 Business Days after the receipt by the Senior Administrative Agent of the Purchase Notice), the First Lien Lenders shall sell to the Senior Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Committed Term B Lenders, and the Senior Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Committed Term B Lenders, shall purchase from the First Lien Lenders, the First Lien Obligations:

(iv) From and after the date that the Senior Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Committed Term B Lenders, delivers a Purchase Notice, the Senior Administrative Agent and the First Lien Lenders shall not take any Lien Enforcement Action (to the extent such action has not been previously taken in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). A purchase and sale of the First Lien Obligations pursuant to this Section 5.3(f) may be initiated at any time after a Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing and shall close within 5 Business Days after receipt by the Senior Administrative Agent of the Purchase Notice. The Senior Administrative Agent shall receive payment in full of the Purchase Price as provided for herein within such 5 Business Day period.

(v) Upon the date of such purchase and sale, the Senior Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Committed Term B Lenders, shall pay in cash to each First Lien Lender, an amount equal to such First Lien Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Trigger Purchase Price.

(vi) The Committed Term B Lenders agree to pay to the Senior Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the First Lien Lenders, the amount of any Term A Loan Applicable Prepayment Premium payable pursuant to the Loan Documents as in effect on the date hereof within 3 Business Days to the extent actually received by the Committed Term B Lenders in cash within 45 days following the date on which the Committed Term B Lenders, or the Senior Administrative Agent on their behalf, pay the Purchase Price. Any Term A Loan Applicable Prepayment Premium received by or on behalf of the Committed Term B Lenders thereafter shall not be paid to the Senior Administrative Agent or the First Lien Lenders but shall instead belong to the Committed Term B Lenders.

(vii) The Purchase Price shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such account as the Senior Administrative Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Lenders, shall designate in writing for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the Purchase Price is received prior to 2:00 p.m., (New York time), and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the Purchase Price is received later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time).

Insurance.

The Company shall maintain for itself and its Subsidiaries, or shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, in full force and effect the insurance policies and programs in effect as of the Closing Date, or substantially similar policies and programs or other policies and programs as are acceptable to the Senior Administrative Agent. Each certificate and policy relating to property damage insurance shall contain an endorsement, in form and substance acceptable to the Senior Administrative Agent, showing lender loss payable to the Administrative Agent and naming the Administrative Agent as an additional insured under such policy and providing that no act, whether willful or negligent, or default of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in case of loss or damage.

8.24.

Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds.

The Company hereby directs (and, if applicable, shall cause its Subsidiaries to direct) all insurers under policies of property damage insurance and any payor of any condemnation claim or award relating to any property of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof to pay all proceeds payable under such policies or with respect to such claim or award for any loss directly to the Administrative Agent, except to the extent such proceeds, claims or awards are required to be paid to alternate loss payees pursuant to the terms of any purchase money Indebtedness or any capital or operating lease permitted under this Agreement, in each case solely with respect to the property covered by such Indebtedness or lease; and in no case to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof. The Administrative Agent shall, within one Business Day of receipt of such proceeds, notify the Senior Administrative Agent of its receipt thereof and remit all of such

proceeds to the Senior Administrative Agent. The Senior Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt of such proceeds and at the Company’s direction, either (a) apply the same to the principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding at the time of such receipt and create a corresponding reserve against Revolving Loan Availability in an amount equal to such application (the “Decision Reserve”) or (b) hold such proceeds (or cause the Administrative Agent to hold such proceeds) as Cash Collateral for the Obligations;provided,however, claims and awards not in excess of $250,000 per occurrence (or series of related occurrences) shall be remitted to the Company within a reasonable time following the Senior Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. For up to 90 days after the date of any loss (the “Decision Period”), the Company may notify the Senior Administrative Agent that it intends to restore, rebuild or replace the property subject to the receipt of any insurance payment or condemnation award and shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, provide the Senior Administrative Agent detailed information, including a construction schedule and cost estimates. Should the Company notify the Senior Administrative Agent that it has decided not to rebuild or replace such property during the Decision Period, or should the Company fail to notify the Senior Administrative Agent of the Company’s decision during the Decision Period, then the amounts held as Cash Collateral or as the Decision Reserve shall automatically be applied to the Revolving Loans, with a corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments, at the election of the Senior Administrative Agent. In the event the Company notifies the Senior Administrative Agent that it intends to rebuild or replace such Property during the Decision Period, proceeds held as Cash Collateral or constituting the Decision Reserve shall be disbursed as necessary;provided,however, should an Event of Default occur after the Company has notified the Senior Administrative Agent that it intends to rebuild or replace such Property, the Decision Reserve or Cash Collateral, may at the Senior Administrative Agent’s discretion, or shall, upon the direction of Required Lenders, be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans, with a corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments, at the election of the Senior Administrative Agent.

In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Company under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Company and the Senior Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. The participation agreement effecting the sale of any participating interest shall contain a representation by the Participant to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the participating interest in the Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans and interests in Letters of Credit under such participation agreement are “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Participant in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA.

The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant shall be deemed to agree, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 10.2(d) to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 10.2(d) as if each Participant were a Lender.

12.3.

Assignments.

(a)Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to one or more banks or other Persons (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Loans and interests in the Letters of Credit, together with its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents with respect thereof;provided,however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying percentage of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations so assigned; (ii) the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of such assignment) may be in the amount of such Lender’s entire Revolving Loan Commitment but otherwise shall not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; and (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing clause (ii), (A) if the assignment is made to a Lender, the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment assigned shall not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and (B) if the assignment is made pursuant to Section 3.14, the Revolving Loan Commitment assigned may be in the amount of the relevant Lender’s entire remaining Revolving Loan Commitment; (iii) the amount of the Term A Loans or Term B Loans of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of such assignment) may be in the amount of such Lender’s entire Term B Loans but otherwise shall not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; and (iv) notwithstanding the foregoing clause (iii), (A) if the assignment is made to a Lender, the amount of the Term A Loans or Term B Loans assigned shall not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and (B) if the assignment is made pursuant to Section 3.14, Term A Loans or Term B Loans assigned may be in the amount of the relevant Lender’s entire remaining outstanding principal amount of such Term A Loans or Term B Loans. Any such assignment shall be substantially in the form ofExhibit E hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. The consent of the Senior Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. So long as no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any assignment of Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments shall be made to an Eligible Assignee.

(b)Effect; Effective Date. The Senior Administrative Agent shall maintain at its principal office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Issuing Banks and the outstanding Loans and Revolving Loan Commitment of, and Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to, each such Person from time to time (the “Register”).

The Notice of Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans and interests in the Letters of Credit, as the case may be, under the applicable assignment agreement are “loan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the Effective Assignment Date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and thereto, and no further consent or action by the Company, the Lenders or the Senior Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments or outstanding Term Loans assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3(b) the transferor Lender, the Senior Administrative Agent, and the Company shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting its Revolving Loan Commitment or outstanding Loans, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

12.4.

Dissemination of Information.

The Company authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 13.10 hereof.
