The Term Loans described in the preceding sentence: (A) shall be made on the Closing Date, (B) may at the option of the Borrower be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Term Loans or LIBOR Term Loans; provided that all such Term Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Term Loans of the same Type; (C) may be repaid or prepaid in accordance with the provisions hereof, but once repaid or prepaid, may not be reborrowed; (D) shall not exceed for any such Lender the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender; (E) shall be denominated in U.S. dollars and (F) shall not exceed in the aggregate the Total Term Loan Commitment.

SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

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

(b) Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing (other than a Borrowing of Swingline Loans, which must be ABR Loans) shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing of Revolving Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance

of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(h). Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000. There shall not at any time be more than a total of twelve Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date applicable to such Loan.

SECTION 2.03 Requests for Borrowings.(a) To request a Borrowing (other than a Borrowing of a Swingline Loan), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by written notice (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing.

Each such written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be the Closing Date in the case of Term Loans, and a Business Day in the case of Revolving Credit Loans;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

(b) To request a Borrowing of a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by written notice, not later than 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent (if not the Swingline Lender) will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the deposit account of the Borrower identified in the most recent Notice of Account Designation by 3:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

SECTION 2.04 Swingline Loans

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender in its individual capacity agrees, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date to make a loan or loans (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $50,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that (A) each Swingline Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and shall be repayable in full as provided in Section 2.09, and (B) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

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

SECTION 2.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) Existing Letters of Credit. The parties hereto acknowledge that on and after the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be a Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank shown as the issuer thereof on Exhibit 1.01-B for the account of the Borrower.

(b) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of Letters of Credit from an Issuing Bank for its

own account individually or for its own account and that of any Restricted Subsidiary as co-applicants, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, such Issuing Bank shall have an obligation to issue a Letter of Credit, and to amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit previously issued by it, under this Section 2.05 if, after giving effect to any such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure for all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank would not exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment at such time, (ii) the total LC Exposure would not exceed the LC Sublimit and (iii) the total Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank thereof relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. All Letters of Credit issued and deemed issued under this Section 2.05 shall constitute utilization of the Total Commitment including the total Letter of Credit Commitments in an amount equal to the LC Exposure relating to such Letters of Credit. All Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement shall be denominated in U.S. dollars. In no event shall Barclays Bank PLC or any other Issuing Bank be required to issue any Letter of Credit other than a standby letter of credit.

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

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally;

(iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $10,000;

(iv) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars;

(v) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(vi) any Revolving Credit Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including reallocation of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the outstanding LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.20(a)(iv) or the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv)) with respect to such Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other

LC Exposure as to which such Issuing Bank has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(d) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to amend or extend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment thereto.

(e) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication (e-mail), if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the designated Issuing Bank) to the designated Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not less than five Business Days (or such lesser number as may be otherwise acceptable to such Issuing Bank) in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice (a “Letter of Credit Request”) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.05(f)), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank that has been requested to issue such Letter of Credit, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form (an “Application”), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and including agreed-upon draft language for such Letter of Credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) at any time prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (A) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures at any time shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, (B) the LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment of such Issuing Bank and (C) the total LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit, and (ii) at any time on and after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, no Revolving Credit Lender shall have any Revolving Credit Exposure or LC Exposure. Upon the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank that has issued such Letter of Credit will notify the Administrative Agent, who, in turn, will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders, of the amount and type of such Letter of Credit that is issued, amended, renewed or extended pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (unless the Issuing Bank issuing such Letter of Credit otherwise agreed in its sole discretion) and (ii) five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank shall not

permit any such extension if the Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (e) of Section 2.05 or otherwise pursuant to the terms hereof).

(g) Participations. On the Closing Date with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit and by the issuance of each other Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Banks or the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Issuing Bank that has issued such Letter of Credit hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.05(h), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Total Commitment, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(h) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent (whether from its own funds or with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans) an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York, New York, time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice; provided that if the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, then, upon demand by such Issuing Bank sent to the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender before 10:00 a.m., New York, New York, time, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pursuant to Section 2.06 on the same day make available to the Administrative Agent for delivery to such Issuing Bank, immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment by such Issuing Bank, and the funding of such amount shall be treated as the funding of an ABR Loan by such Revolving Credit Lender to the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the funding obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05(h) shall be binding regardless of whether or not a Default or an Event of Default shall exist or the other conditions precedent in Article III are satisfied at such time. If and to the extent any Revolving Credit Lender fails to effect any payment due from it under this Section 2.05(h) to the Administrative Agent, then interest shall accrue on the obligation of such Revolving Credit Lender to make such payment from the date such payment became due to the date such obligation is paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to pay its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to pay to the Administrative Agent such other Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any such payment.

(i) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.05(h) shall, to the extent permitted by law, be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any term or provision herein or therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any Credit Party, or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

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

(v) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuing Banks, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder, including any of the circumstances specified in clauses (i) through (vi) above, as well as any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise the agreed standard of care (as set forth below) in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that each Issuing Bank shall have exercised the agreed standard of care in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct on the part of such Issuing Bank. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood that each Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; provided that each Issuing Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline

to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(j) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by it. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) or by electronic communication (e-mail) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(k) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date specified in Section 2.05(h), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from the date such LC Disbursement is made to the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement (or all Revolving Credit Lenders make the payments to the Administrative Agent contemplated by Section 2.05(h) and treated pursuant to said Section as constituting the funding of ABR Loans), at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans.

(l) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or (ii) any Letter of Credit remains outstanding on the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or notice of any kind, upon (A) the occurrence of any event described in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) or (B) the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 7.01. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits (which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, but only in investments rated at least AA (or equivalent) by at least one nationally recognized rating agency, and in any event at the Borrower’s risk and expense) such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account and may, subject to the immediately preceding sentence be reinvested from time to time. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of any Letter of Credit remaining outstanding on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, then such cash

collateral or portion thereof shall be released promptly following: (i) the elimination of the applicable LC Exposure or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral.

(m) Designation. In addition the Borrower and any Issuing Bank, with the written consent of the applicable Issuing Bank and notice to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders, may designate letters of credit issued by such Issuing Bank that were not originally issued under this Agreement as Letters of Credit issued hereunder, so long as, at the time of such designation, (i) the Borrower would have been able to deliver a Letter of Credit Request with respect to a Letter of Credit hereunder containing the same terms as such letter of credit that was so designated, (ii) such Issuing Bank would have been required to issue a Letter of Credit hereunder containing the same terms as such letter of credit that was so designated and (iii) all the conditions to a credit extension set forth in Section 3.02 have been met immediately prior to such designation. Upon such designation in accordance with the foregoing, such designated letter of credit of such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank hereunder.

SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Borrowing requested pursuant to Section 2.03 in immediately available funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of the Borrower identified in the most recent Notice of Account Designation substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.06 hereto (a “Notice of Account Designation”) delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or otherwise agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time; provided that ABR Revolving Credit Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Sections 2.05(g) and (h) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank that has made such LC Disbursement.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such pro rata share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.06(a) and may (but shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its pro rata share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections.

(a) Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, subject to Section 2.13, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.07 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by written notice, including by electronic communication (e-mail), receipt of which, in each case, is confirmed by the Administrative Agent by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy or by electronic communication (e-mail) to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in the form of Exhibit 2.07 (an “Interest Election Request”).

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

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

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

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

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

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if and so long as an Event of Default is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (i) no

outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) The Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. New York, New York time on the Closing Date.

(b) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(c) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or the Letter of Credit Commitments, in whole or in part; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or the Letter of Credit Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000, (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Total Revolving Credit Commitment if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, as so reduced and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Letter of Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to such a termination or reduction (A) the total LC Exposure would exceed the total LC Commitments, as so reduced or (B) the LC Exposure of any Issuing Bank would exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment.

(d) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or the Letter of Credit Commitments under Section 2.08(c) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or the Letter of Credit Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or the Letter of Credit Commitments shall be permanent. Except as expressly provided in Section 2.20, each reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.

SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Loan Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan on the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan not later than seven days after the date such Loan is made. In addition, if the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans sufficient to cause the Revolving Credit Exposures not to exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, if the repayment of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swingline Loans does not cause the total Revolving Credit Exposures to be equal to or less than the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the

Administrative Agent in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the amount by which the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, which cash deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the payment of the Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposit (which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, but only in investments rated at least AA (or equivalent) by at least one nationally recognized rating agency, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and in any event at the Borrower’s risk and expense). Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time, or if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Revolving Credit Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. At any time when the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures does not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and so long as no Default under Section 7.01(b) or Event of Default shall then exist, upon the request of the Borrower the amount of such deposit (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after receipt of such request.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.09(b) or (c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error or conflict therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Revolver Note, a Term Loan Note or a Swingline Note, as applicable. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolver Note, a Term Loan Note or a Swingline Note, as applicable. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.05) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such forms payable to the payee named therein.

SECTION 2.10 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans, in each case, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part from time to time subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.10(a). The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment

of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by written notice in the form of Exhibit 2.10 (a “Notice of Prepayment”) of its intent to make such prepayment, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of Eurodollar Borrowings) the specific Borrowing(s) to be prepaid, which notice shall be given by the Borrower no later than (i) in the case of Term Loans that are (A) Eurodollar Borrowings, 12:00 p.m., New York, New York time, three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, or (B) ABR Loans, 10:00 a.m., New York, New York time, one Business days prior to the date of such prepayment, (ii) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans that are (A) Eurodollar Borrowings, 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, or (B) ABR Loans (other than Swingline Loans), 10:00 a.m., New York, New York time, one Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, or (iii) in the case of Swingline Loans, 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on the date of such prepayment, and in each case such notice shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the applicable Lenders or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. Any prepayment of Term Loan Eurodollar Borrowings or Revolving Credit Loan Eurodollar Borrowings pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to, upon receipt of a written request by any Lender, payments by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender in an amount required to compensate such Lender as provided in Section 2.15. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, Type and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08 and, in the case of the Term Facility, such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate amount not less than, and shall be an integral multiple of, the amounts shown below with respect to the applicable Type of Loan or Borrowing:

Type of Loan/Borrowing	Integral Multiple of		Minimum Aggregate Amount
Term Loan or Revolving Credit Loan Eurodollar Borrowing	$	1,000,000	$	5,000,000
Term Loan or Revolving Credit Loan ABR Borrowing	$	1,000,000	$	1,000,000
Swingline Loan	$	100,000	$	1,000,000

Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. If the Borrower fails to designate the Type of Borrowings to be prepaid, partial prepayments shall be applied first to the outstanding Swingline Loans until the outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans is repaid in full, then to the outstanding ABR Borrowings until the outstanding principal amount of all ABR Borrowings is repaid in full, and then to the outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Borrowings. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing in accordance with such Lenders’ pro rata share of such Borrowing; provided, that, at the election of the Borrower, such payments shall not be applied to any Loans of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender or any Defaulting Lender that is a Term Loan Lender that has failed to fund any Loans required to be funded by such Defaulting Lender. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) Term Loan Prepayments. On each occasion that a Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after the occurrence of any Prepayment Event (or, in the case of Deferred Net Cash Proceeds, within five Business Days after the end of the Reinvestment Period relating to such Prepayment Event or 180 days thereafter, as applicable), prepay, in accordance with paragraphs (iii), (iv) and (vi) below, a principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Prepayment Event.

(ii) Revolving Credit Loan Prepayments. If on any date the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings”) for any reason exceeds 100% of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment as then in effect, the Borrower shall forthwith repay on such date the principal amount of Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been paid in full, Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the LC Exposure.

(iii) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. The application of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) shall be made pro rata to the Term Loans of each Term Loan Lender until paid in full in cash. With respect to each such prepayment, the Borrower shall, not later than the date specified in Section 2.10(b)(i) for making such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent written notice requesting that the Administrative Agent provide notice of such prepayment to each Term Loan Lender.

(iv) Application to Term Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Loans required by Section 2.10(b)(i), the Borrower may, if applicable, designate the Type(s) of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made. 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 reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.15.

(v) Application to Revolving Credit Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans required by Section 2.10(b)(ii), the Borrower may designate the Type(s) of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, provided that (y) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans, and (z) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (y), no prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii) shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans of any Defaulting Lender unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower. 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 reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.15.

(vi) Minimum Amount. No prepayment shall be required pursuant to Section 2.10(b) unless and until the amount at any time of Net Cash Proceeds from Prepayment Events required to be applied at or prior to such time pursuant to such Section and not yet applied at or prior to such time to prepay Term Loans pursuant to such Section exceeds (i) $25,000,000 for a single Prepayment Event (or (x) $50,000,000 in the case of a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event (other than incurrence of KMGP Preferred Stock) or (y) $0 in the case of issuance of KMGP Preferred Stock as described in the paragraph following Section 6.01(g)) or

(ii) $200,000,000 in the aggregate for all such Prepayment Events (other than any Debt Incurrence Prepayment Events).

(vii) Foreign Asset Sales. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.10(b), (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds from a Casualty Event or any asset sale by a Restricted Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to an Asset Sale Prepayment Event (a “Foreign Asset Sale”) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans, as applicable, at the times provided in this Section 2.10(b) but may be retained by the applicable Restricted Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Restricted Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Asset Sale would have a material adverse tax consequence, the Net Cash Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Restricted Foreign Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments (in the case of Casualty Events only) or prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(b), (x) the Borrower applies an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds to such reinvestments (in the case of Casualty Events only) or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds had been received by the Borrower rather than such Restricted Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds that would be calculated if received by such Restricted Foreign Subsidiary) or (y) such Net Cash Proceeds are applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a Restricted Foreign Subsidiary.

SECTION 2.11 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), which shall be equal to (a) the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate times (b) the daily average undrawn portion of the Revolving Facility (it being understood that the face amount of Letters of Credit issued and outstanding shall be considered a drawn portion of the Revolving Facility for such purpose), during the period from the Closing Date to the later of (i) the date on which such Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and (ii) the date on which the Revolving Credit Loans are paid in full; provided that, if such Revolving Credit Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Revolving Credit Commitment terminates, then such Commitment Fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure from the date on which its Revolving Credit Commitment terminates to the date on which such Revolving Credit Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure, and shall be payable on demand. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and the date the Revolving Credit Loans are paid in full, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. Swingline Loans will, for purposes of the commitment fee calculations only, not be deemed to be a utilization of the Revolving Facility. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, as the case may be and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Credit Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank that has issued a Letter of Credit a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum as separately agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower multiplied by the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit issued, renewed or extended by such Issuing Bank during the period from the date such Letter of Credit is issued to the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit. The Borrower also agrees to pay each Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by it or the processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued participation fees and fronting fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Total Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Total Revolving Credit Commitment terminates shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, as applicable, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger, for their own accounts, fees payable in the amounts and at the times specified in (i) the fee letter agreement dated March 28, 2014 among the Borrower, Barclays Bank PLC, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., including certain joinders executed in connection therewith, and (ii) the administrative agency fee letter agreement dated March 28, 2014 among the Borrower and Barclays Bank PLC (as from time to time amended, collectively, the “Fee Letters”).

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to each Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) (for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees and participation fees to the Revolving Credit Lenders). Except as required by law, fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstance.

SECTION 2.12 Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan and shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan, unless such repayment or prepayment is made in connection with the termination or expiration of the Facilities), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion and (iv) all accrued interest shall be payable upon termination of the Total Commitment.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

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

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs; Illegality.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

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

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or any Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clause (ii) below, any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (x) deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Eurodollar Borrowing are not

generally available in the relevant market or (y) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Closing Date affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially and adversely affects the interbank LIBOR market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and 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 (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Borrowing Request or Interest Election Request given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Borrowings that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall either (A) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel said Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent written notice thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(e)(ii) or (B) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner.

SECTION 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow (unless such failure was caused by the failure of a Lender to make such Loan), convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan, or the failure to convert an ABR Loan to a Eurodollar Loan, on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.08 and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for dollar deposits from other banks in the Eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be

conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Withholding Agent, then the Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or the other relevant Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. The Borrower and the other Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Borrower and each other Credit Party shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however that no Credit Party shall be required to indemnify a Recipient pursuant to this Section 2.16(d) for any Indemnified Taxes to the extent attributable to a delay in the time period for making the demand for such Indemnified Taxes arising from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Recipient as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower and the other Credit Parties have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or any Credit Party to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.05 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such

Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Borrower or such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender (which for purposes of this clause (g) shall include the Issuing Bank) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form);

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.16-A to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form); or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN (or applicable successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.16-B or Exhibit 2.16-C, IRS Form W-9 (or successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.16-D on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(E) The Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower) two copies of (i) in the case of an Administrative Agent that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 or (ii) in the case of an Administrative Agent that is not a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-8.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by the Borrower hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the

case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

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

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.05(g), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 8.08, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections; in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.18 Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.18(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.16) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.05;

(ii) such assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.15) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.19 Telephonic Notices. Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice it is entitled to give under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of a telephonic notice believed in good faith by the Administrative Agent to be from the Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice.

SECTION 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.02.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.09 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.21; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.21; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set

forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) (A) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit fees under Section 2.11(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.21.

(B) With respect to any Commitment Fee or letter of credit fee under Section 2.11(b), in each case, not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.21.

(b) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral),

that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

SECTION 2.21 Cash Collateral.

(a) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(b) The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ LC Exposure, to be applied pursuant to clause (c) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.21 or Section 2.20 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.20 the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided

further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

SECTION 2.22 Incremental Facilities

(a) Before the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrower may by written notice to Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more increases in the Revolving Facility (each increase to the Revolving Facility, a “New Revolving Credit Commitment” and, collectively, the “New Revolving Credit Commitments”), in an aggregate amount not to exceed $250,000,000. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Revolving Credit Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the New Revolving Credit Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Revolving Credit Commitment. Such New Revolving Credit Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided further that, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitments; (ii) the covenant set forth in Section 6.07 shall be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis as of the Increased Amount Date and as of the last day of the most recent determination period, after giving effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitments (assuming for the purposes of such calculation that any New Revolving Credit Commitments are fully drawn) and other customary and appropriate Pro Forma Adjustments, including any acquisitions or dispositions after the beginning of the relevant determination period and prior to or simultaneous with the effectiveness of such New Revolving Credit Commitments; (iii) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to this Agreement (including Section 2.15) to the Administrative Agent, any collateral agent if the Facilities are secured, and the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), in connection with the New Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable; (iv) if the Obligations are secured pursuant to the terms hereof, such New Revolving Credit Commitments will share pari passu in the collateral included in the Agreed Security Package; (v) the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks shall have consented to such prospective lender and (vi) such New Revolving Credit Commitment will be documented solely as an increase to the Revolving Credit Commitments, without any change to the Revolving Facility’s terms. The proceeds of each New Revolving Credit Commitment shall be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be obligated to provide any portion of the New Revolving Credit Commitments.

(b) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Credit Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments shall assign to each Lender with a New Revolving Credit Commitment (each, a “New Revolving Loan Lender”) and each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by existing Lenders with Revolving Credit Loans and New Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Credit Commitments to the Revolving Credit Commitments, (b) each New Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (c) each New Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Credit Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

(c) The New Revolving Credit Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “New Loan Increase Joinder”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.22 executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such New Revolving Credit Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them. Each New Loan Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22.

Each Credit Party has the requisite corporate and other organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to incur and perform its obligations under the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to make the Borrowings hereunder, and all such actions have been duly authorized by all necessary proceedings on its behalf. The Loan Documents have been duly and validly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each Credit Party party thereto and constitute valid and legally binding agreements of such Credit Party enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with the respective terms thereof, except (a) as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (including principles of good faith, reasonableness, materiality and fair dealing) which may, among other things, limit the right to obtain equitable remedies (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (b) as to the enforceability of provisions for indemnification for violation of applicable securities laws, limitations thereon arising as a matter of law or public policy.

SECTION 4.03 Governmental Consents, Etc.

SECTION 4.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) Except as disclosed in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K delivered by the Borrower to the Lenders, there is no action, suit or proceeding by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involves this Agreement or the Transactions.

(b) Except as disclosed in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K delivered by the Borrower to the Lenders, the associated liabilities and costs of the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ compliance with Environmental Laws (including any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties currently or previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by Environmental Laws or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat, any costs or liabilities in connection with off-site disposal of wastes or Hazardous Materials, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related costs and expenses) are unlikely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the information and data referred to in paragraph (a) above were based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by such Persons to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ materially from the projected results.

expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.12 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate for the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.15 Intellectual Property. The Borrower and each of the Restricted Subsidiaries have obtained all intellectual property free from burdensome restrictions, that is necessary for the operation of their respective businesses as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, except where the failure to obtain any such rights could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE VIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 8.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Barclays Bank PLC to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except as specifically provided in Section 8.06(a) and (b), the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 8.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.02 and 9.03) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or the enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition

hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 8.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.

SECTION 8.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, subject to (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), subject to (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, subject to (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral

security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity and other payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent for its own account, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity and other payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

(a) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b) Each Lender acknowledges that Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP is acting in this transaction as special legal counsel to the Administrative Agent only. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent it deems necessary in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the matters contemplated herein and therein.

SECTION 8.08 INDEMNIFICATION. THE LENDERS AGREE TO INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH OF THE JOINT LEAD ARRANGERS, EACH OF THE CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENTS AND THE SYNDICATION AGENT RATABLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LENDER’S RATABLE SHARE OF THE SUM OF THE TOTAL COMMITMENTS THEN OUTSTANDING AND THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE LOANS THEN OUTSTANDING FOR THE INDEMNITY MATTERS AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 9.03 TO THE EXTENT NOT INDEMNIFIED OR REIMBURSED BY THE BORROWER UNDER SECTION 9.03, BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER UNDER SAID SECTION 9.03, AND FOR ANY AND ALL OTHER LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND AND NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY OF THE JOINT LEAD ARRANGERS, ANY OF THE CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENTS, OR THE SYNDICATION AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF: (A) THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN

DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED BY OR REFERRED TO HEREIN OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, BUT EXCLUDING, UNLESS A DEFAULT OR AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND IS CONTINUING, NORMAL ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS AND EXPENSES INCIDENT TO THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS AGENCY DUTIES, IF ANY, HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR (B) THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OF ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT; WHETHER OR NOT ANY OF THE FOREGOING SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 8.08 ARISES FROM THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY OF THE JOINT LEAD ARRANGERS, ANY OF THE CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENTS, OR THE SYNDICATION AGENT, AS THE CASE MAY BE; PROVIDED THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOREGOING TO THE EXTENT THEY ARISE FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR UNLAWFUL CONDUCT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY OF THE JOINT LEAD ARRANGERS, ANY OF THE CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENTS, OR THE SYNDICATION AGENT. UPON THE EXECUTION OF A COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT AND THE APPOINTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS COLLATERAL AGENT THERETO IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5.08, (X) THE LENDERS AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO THE SAME EXTENT AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IS INDEMNIFIED AND HELD HARMLESS HEREUNDER, INCLUDING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES ARISING FROM ITS RIGHTS AND DUTIES AS COLLATERAL AGENT UNDER THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS AND (Y) THE COLLATERAL AGENT WILL HAVE THE BENEFIT OF ANY EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT PROVISIONS THAT WOULD HAVE APPLIED TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER, INCLUDING IN CONNECTION WITH THE PREPARATION AND DELIVERY OF THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS AND IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND DUTIES AS COLLATERAL AGENT UNDER THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS.

SECTION 8.09 Trust Indenture Act. In the event that the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates shall be or become an indenture trustee under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as amended, the “Trust Indenture Act”) in respect of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Borrower, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any payment or property received in satisfaction of or in respect of any Obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Lender or any Issuing Bank under any Loan Document (other than the Administrative Agent) and which is applied in accordance with the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be exempt from the requirements of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 311(b)(3) of the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 8.10 Resignation of an Issuing Bank. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, and Revolving Credit Commitments have not been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.20, an Issuing Bank may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, resign as an Issuing Bank effective at the close of business New York, New York time on a date specified in such notice; provided that such resignation by an Issuing Bank will have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then outstanding or on the obligation of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to such Issuing Bank.

SECTION 8.11 No Reliance on Agents or other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Lenders or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower

and its Subsidiaries and its decision to enter into this Agreement, and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, any of the Joint Lead Arrangers nor any of the Co-Documentation Agents shall be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers nor the Co-Documentation Agents shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents or any of their respective Affiliates. Solely with respect to this Section 8.11, each Lender acknowledges that Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP is acting in this transaction as special counsel to the Administrative Agent only.

100

(c) Communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including electronic mail and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or 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.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Electronic Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Electronic Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Electronic Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments; Releases.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or

101

discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document provision may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder or under the Fee Letter, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement (including any payment required by Section 2.10(b), or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under the Fee Letter, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) or the last paragraph of Section 7.01 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) amend Section 2.20 or 2.21 without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks in addition to the consent of the Required Lenders, (vi) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, if any, from the Lien granted pursuant to the Loan Documents (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Section 5.08 or Section 9.02(f) hereof), without the prior written consent of each Lender or (vii) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Section 9.02(f) hereof), change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(b), or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be. Except as provided herein, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided that any such amendment or waiver referred to in clauses (i) through (vii) of the first proviso of this Section 9.02(b) above or that would alter the terms of such proviso shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to any New Revolving Loans effectuated without the consent of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 2.22, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit any extension of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the relevant benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis

102

as the Lenders prior to such inclusion, and (iii) to amend or add any other definitions required to be included to effectuate the addition of such additional credit facilities.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Credit Party at a time when such Affiliated Lender is a Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.02(b), (i) amendments to this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.22(c) may be effected without the consent of any Lenders other than the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender and each Lender making a New Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) upon the occurrence of a Collateral Trigger Event, the Administrative Agent is authorized to amend and restate the Guarantee Agreement on the Collateral Delivery Date as set forth in Section 23(a) of the Guarantee Agreement without the consent of any Lenders.

(e) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of any Class (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche (“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans) and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans of such Class in effect immediately prior to such refinancing, (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend, modify or supplement any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (with, to the extent applicable, the consent of the Administrative Agent acting in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement, if any) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights or obligations of any Lender and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent explicitly permitted to do so by the terms of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document.

(f) Subject to the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement, if any, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Credit Parties on any

103

Collateral (other than cash collateral provided in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be automatically released (solely with respect to this Agreement and the Secured Obligations hereunder) (i) in full, upon the termination of this Agreement and the payment in cash of all Obligations hereunder (except for contingent indemnification obligations in respect of which a claim has not yet been made and except for Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized to the satisfaction of the Letter of Credit Issuer or as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Bank shall have been made), (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Credit Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Credit Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 9.02), (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guarantee Agreement (in accordance with the second following sentence), (vi) to the extent set forth in Section 5.08 and (vii) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Credit Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Credit Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents. Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantors shall be released from the Guarantee Agreement (in each case, solely with respect to the guarantee of the Obligations hereunder) upon consummation of any transaction resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary or upon any Subsidiary becoming an Excluded Subsidiary. Subject to the Collateral Documents, if any, the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender. Any release of Collateral permitted by this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents will be deemed not to impair the Liens created by the Collateral Documents in contravention thereof and any person that is required to deliver an officer’s certificate or opinion of counsel pursuant to Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be entitled to rely upon the foregoing as a basis for delivery of such certificate or opinion.

SECTION 9.03 Payment of Expenses, Indemnities, etc.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agent and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (limited to the fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agent and of one special and one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction as such Person may deem appropriate in their good faith discretion, except that if any such Person reasonably concludes that its interests conflict with those of another such Person and notifies the Borrower of such conflict, the Borrower shall also be responsible for the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one separate counsel and one special and one local counsel, as applicable, for all such conflicted Persons), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of

105

PARTNERS, TRUSTEES, SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ADVISORS, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR CONTROLLING PERSONS. THE OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY FOR FEES CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 9.03(B) SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF A SINGLE COUNSEL FOR ALL INDEMNIFIED PARTIES SELECTED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OF ONE SPECIAL AND ONE LOCAL COUNSEL IN EACH APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY DEEM APPROPRIATE IN ITS GOOD FAITH DISCRETION, EXCEPT THAT IF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY REASONABLY CONCLUDES THAT ITS INTERESTS CONFLICT WITH THOSE OF ANOTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTY AND NOTIFIES THE BORROWER OF SUCH CONFLICT, THE BORROWER SHALL ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REASONABLE, DOCUMENTED OUT-OF-POCKET FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ONE SEPARATE COUNSEL AND ONE SPECIAL AND ONE LOCAL COUNSEL, AS APPLICABLE, FOR ALL SUCH CONFLICTED INDEMNIFIED PARTIES. THIS SECTION 9.03(B) SHALL NOT APPLY WITH RESPECT TO TAXES, OTHER THAN TAXES THAT REPRESENT LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES OR OTHER INDEMNITY MATTERS ARISING FROM ANY NON-TAX CLAIM.

(c) No Indemnified Party may settle any claim to be indemnified without the consent of the indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided that the indemnitor may not reasonably withhold consent to any settlement that an Indemnified Party proposes, if the indemnitor does not have the financial ability to pay all its obligations outstanding and asserted against the indemnitor at that time, including the maximum potential claims against the Indemnified Party to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 9.03; provided, further, that if such claim is settled with the Borrower’s written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction for the plaintiff in any such proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 9.03.

TO THE EXTENT THAT AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS FOUND TO HAVE COMMITTED AN ACT OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR ENGAGED IN UNLAWFUL CONDUCT, THIS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION OF INDEMNIFICATION SHALL CONTINUE BUT SHALL NOT EXTEND TO THE PORTION OF THE CLAIM THAT IS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE DECISION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY.

(e) The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 9.03 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, the payment of the Loans and the expiration of the Letters of Credit.

(f) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank under this Section 9.03, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the

106

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

(g) The Borrower shall pay any amounts due under this Section 9.03 within 30 days of the receipt by the Borrower of notice of the amount due.

(h) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party shall assert, and each party hereby waives, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not be deemed to impair or affect the indemnification obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents. No Indemnified Party referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(i) Upon the execution of a Collateral Agency Agreement and the appointment of the Administrative Agent as Collateral Agent thereto in accordance with Section 5.08, the Borrower agrees to pay the expenses of, hold harmless and indemnify the Collateral Agent to the same extent as the Administrative Agent is indemnified pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.03 in connection with its duties as Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.05(a), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.05(c), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.05(d) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 9.05(c) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) and the Indemnified Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.05 Assignments by Lenders.

(a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, Letter of Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class or the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and

107

Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall (x) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments, not be less than $5,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (y) in the case of Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments, not be less than $1,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, in each case unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required under this Section 9.05(a)(i) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above.

(ii) Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loans or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned.

(iii) No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (a)(i) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that (1) the Borrower’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Facilities and (2) with regard to an assignment of Term Loans, the Borrower’s consent shall be deemed to have been provided if the Borrower has not rejected such assignment within five Business Days of written request for such consent; and

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(C) the consent of each Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in the case of assignments of Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder.

(iv) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B); provided that assignments of Term Loans to Affiliates of the Borrower (other than to the Borrower, or to any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any natural person) (in such capacity as assignees and as Lenders hereunder, “Affiliated Lenders”) shall be permitted subject to the following limitations: (1) Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted

108

to attend or participate in meetings intended to be attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than notices of Borrowings, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II; (2) for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of any Loan Document (including such amendments, modifications or waivers pursuant to Section 9.02), or, subject to Section 9.02(c), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, that in either case does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not adversely affect such Affiliated Lender in any material respect as compared to other Lenders, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders voting on such matter; and each Affiliated Lender hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code is not deemed to have been so voted, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code; (3) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by all Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 25% of the total principal amount outstanding under the Term Facility at the time of such purported assignment; and (4) in the case of a purchase by any Affiliated Lender, the assigning Lender and such assignee shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance in lieu of an Assignment and Acceptance. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitations on assignments to Affiliates of the Borrower in this clause (v) shall not be applicable to any investment fund managed or advised by Affiliates of the Borrower (other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) that is a bona fide debt fund and that extends credit or buys loans in the ordinary course of its business with respect to which any other Affiliate of the Borrower (other than such debt fund Affiliates) does not, directly or indirectly, possess the power to direct or cause the direction of the investment policies of such entity (such Persons, “Debt Fund Affiliates”); provided that the Term Loans of all Debt Fund Affiliates shall not account for more than 49.9% of the amounts included in determining whether the Required Lenders have (A) consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, or any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document. Any Term Loans acquired by any Debt Fund Affiliate may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to Borrower for purposes of cancelling such Indebtedness (it being understood that any Term Loans so contributed shall be retired and cancelled immediately upon the contribution thereof); provided that upon any such cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so contributed and cancelled.

(vi) No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(vii) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment

109

liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 and with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(b) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance (or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable) executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee, if any, referred to in Section 9.05(a) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.05(a), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance (or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable) and record the information contained therein in the Register (as defined below). No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (but only, in the case of a Lender, at the Administrative Agent’s office and with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Commitments, Loans, Letter of Credit Commitments and other obligations of such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties

110

hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 8.08 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.16 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (a) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14 and 2.16, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions in this Section, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.06 Survival; Reinstatement.

(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the

111

execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding or so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(b) To the extent that any payments on the Obligations are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received.

SECTION 9.07 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letters constitute the entire contract among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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

SECTION 9.08 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.09 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held,

112

and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20 pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and shall be deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff hereunder. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person maintains the confidentiality of such Information in accordance with procedures adopted in good faith to protect confidential Information of third parties delivered to a lender.

SECTION 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.13 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.14 EXCULPATION PROVISIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT IT HAS A DUTY TO READ THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THE FEE LETTERS) AND (IN THE CASE OF THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT) THE FEE LETTERS AND AGREES THAT IT IS CHARGED WITH NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; THAT IT HAS IN FACT READ THIS AGREEMENT AND IS FULLY INFORMED AND HAS FULL NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EFFECTS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE THROUGHOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS PRECEDING ITS ENTRY INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND HAS RECEIVED THE ADVICE OF ITS ATTORNEY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT CERTAIN OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS RESULT IN ONE PARTY ASSUMING THE LIABILITY INHERENT IN SOME ASPECTS OF THE TRANSACTION AND RELIEVING THE OTHER PARTY OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH LIABILITY.

SECTION 9.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) the Facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendments, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks are and have been acting solely as principals and are not the financial advisors, agents or fiduciaries for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks have not assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether any of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks have no obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship or otherwise; and (v) the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. The Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

(ii) all rights of such Pledgor to receive the dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that such Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 9(b) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments during the continuance of such Event of Default. After all such Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Collateral

Agent shall repay to each Pledgor (without interest) all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that such Pledgor would otherwise be permitted to receive, retain and use pursuant to the terms of Section 9(b);

(iii) all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that are received by such Pledgor contrary to the provisions of Section 9(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor and shall forthwith be delivered to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsements); and

(iv) in order to permit the Collateral Agent to receive all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments to which it may be entitled under Section 9(b) above, to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 9(c)(i) above, and to receive all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that it may be entitled to under Sections 9(c)(ii) and (c)(iii) above, such Pledgor shall, if necessary, upon written notice from the Collateral Agent, from time to time execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, appropriate proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.

10. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Collateral; Etc.. Each Pledgor shall:

(a) not (i) except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, sell or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option or warrant with respect to, any of the Collateral or (ii) create or suffer to exist any consensual Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for the Lien under this Pledge Agreement, provided that in the event such Pledgor sells or otherwise disposes of assets permitted by the Credit Agreement, and such assets are or include any of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall release such Collateral to such Pledgor free and clear of the Lien under this Pledge Agreement concurrently with the consummation of such sale;

(b) cause each Person that, subsequent to the date hereof, becomes a Domestic Subsidiary that is required by the Credit Agreement to become a party hereto, to promptly take all actions required by the Credit Agreement or required by this Pledge Agreement, including requiring such Person to become a Pledgor hereunder and to pledge to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, promptly upon the acquisition or creation thereof, all the Equity Interests and all evidence of Indebtedness held or received by such Person pursuant to a supplement to this Pledge Agreement substantially in the form of Annex A hereto (it being understood that the execution and delivery of such a supplement shall not require the consent of any Pledgor hereunder and that the rights and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Pledgor as a party to this Pledge Agreement); and

(c) defend its and the Collateral Agent’s title or interest in and to all the Collateral (and in the Proceeds thereof) against any and all Liens (other than the Lien of this Pledge Agreement), however arising, and any and all Persons whomsoever.

11. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby appoints, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, the Collateral Agent as such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, to take any action and to execute any instrument, in each case after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and with notice to such Pledgor, that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to such Pledgor representing any

dividend, distribution or principal or interest payment in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

12. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may with notice to the relevant Pledgor, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange broker’s board or at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of Collateral to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and, upon consummation of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, and the Collateral Agent may pay the purchase price by crediting the amount thereof against the Obligations. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the extent permitted by law, each Pledgor hereby waives any claim against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall apply the Proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral at any time after receipt as follows:

first, to the payment of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Pledgor and any other reasonable and documented costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

second, to the Secured Parties, an amount equal to all Obligations owing to them on the date of any distribution (whether or not due), and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably as between the Credit Agreement Secured Parties and the Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties (without priority of any one over any other) in proportion to the

unpaid amounts of Credit Agreement Obligations and Equal and Ratable Debt Obligations, which such proceeds shall be applied (x) as among the Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties, to such Secured Parties in proportion to the unpaid amounts thereof and (y) as among the Credit Agreement Secured Parties, to such Credit Agreement Secured Parties in proportion to the unpaid amount of such Credit Agreement Obligations, for application by such Credit Agreement Secured Parties pursuant to the terms thereof, including Section [7.01] of the Credit Agreement (or, if the Credit Agreement is amended such that Section [7.01] no longer sets forth the priorities for such application, as may be set forth elsewhere in such amended Credit Agreement); and

(i) third, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Pledgors or their successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of proceeds by the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

(c) If at any time any moneys collected or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Pledge Agreement are distributable pursuant to paragraph (b) above to any Equal and Ratable Debt Agent, and if any Equal and Ratable Debt Agent shall notify the Collateral Agent in writing that no provision is made under the applicable E&R Debt Instrument for the application by such Equal and Ratable Debt Agent of such moneys and that the applicable E&R Debt Instrument does not effectively provide for the receipt and the holding by such Equal and Ratable Debt Agent of such moneys pending the application thereof, then the Collateral Agent, after receipt of such moneys pending the application thereof, and after receipt of such notification, shall at the direction of such Equal and Ratable Debt Agent, invest such amounts in investments constituting Cash Equivalents maturing within 90 days after they are acquired by the Collateral Agent or, in the absence of such direction, hold such moneys uninvested and shall hold all such amounts so distributable and all such investments and the net proceeds thereof in trust solely for such Equal and Ratable Debt Agent (in its capacity as trustee or agent) and for no other purpose until such time as such Equal and Ratable Debt Agent shall request in writing the delivery thereof by the Collateral Agent for application pursuant to the applicable E&R Debt Instrument. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any diminution in funds resulting from any such investment or any liquidation or any liquidation thereof prior to maturity.

(d) The Collateral Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies of each Pledgor in respect of the Collateral.

(e) All payments received by any Pledgor in respect of the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(f) In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 12, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent so requires by notice in writing to the relevant Pledgor (it being understood an Event of Default under Section 7.01(g) or (h) of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a request by the Collateral Agent for the purposes of this sentence and in such circumstances, no such written notice shall be required), all

Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its dominion and control and on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 12.

(g) In making the determination and allocations required by this Section 12, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by each Equal and Ratable Debt Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Equal and Ratable Debt Obligations, information supplied by the Administrative Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Credit Agreement Obligations, information supplied by the Hedge Banks as to the amounts payable with respect to the Secured Hedge Agreements (after giving effect to any applicable netting arrangements) and information supplied by the Cash Management Banks as to the amounts payable under the Secured Cash Management Agreements, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information; provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Pledgor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 12 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Administrative Agent or any Equal and Ratable Debt Agent of any amounts distributed to them.

(h) If, despite the provisions of this Pledge Agreement, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Pledge Agreement, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or other recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties hereunder for distribution in accordance with this Section 12.

13. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each Pledgor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Pledgor and without notice to or further assent by any Pledgor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Letters of Credit and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith and any Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the applicable Required Lenders or the Requisite Secured Parties, as the case may be, or, in the case of any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement, the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank) may deem advisable from time to time, (d) any E&R Debt Instrument and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, from time to time in accordance with their respective terms and (e) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the

Obligations. When making any demand hereunder against any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Company or any other Pledgor or any other Person, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Company or any other Pledgor or any other Person or any release of the Company or any other Pledgor or any other Person shall not relieve any Pledgor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any Pledgor not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Pledgor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

14. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the Credit Agreement; Release.

(a) This Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each Pledgor and the successors and assigns thereof and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns (notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement and any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement the Credit Parties may be free from any Obligations) until the earlier of (A) (i) all Credit Agreement Obligations (other than any contingent indemnity obligations not then due) shall have been satisfied by payment in full, (ii) the Commitments under the Credit Agreement shall be terminated and (iii) no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (or all such Letters of Credit shall have been fully cash collateralized or otherwise back-stopped to the reasonable satisfaction of the applicable Issuing Bank) or (B) a Collateral Fall-Away Event relating to and subsequent to the Collateral Trigger Event giving rise to this Pledge Agreement shall have occurred.

(b) A Subsidiary Pledgor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Pledgor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Pledgor ceases to be a Subsidiary Guarantor.

(c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Pledgor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the Security Interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, the Security Interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released and such Collateral sold free and clear of the Lien and Security Interests created hereby. Any release of Collateral permitted by this clause (c) and clause (b) above will be deemed not to impair the Liens created by the Security Documents in contravention thereof and any person that is required to deliver an officer’s certificate or opinion of counsel pursuant to Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be entitled to rely upon the foregoing as a basis for delivery of such certificate or opinion.

(d) In the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act of 1934 is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC or any other relevant Governmental Authority to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other Governmental Authority) of separate financial statements of any Subsidiary of the Company due to the fact that the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary are pledged under this Pledge Agreement, then the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed not to be part of the Collateral to the extent necessary not to be subject to such requirement; provided that in any such case the Administrative Agent and the Company agree to negotiate in good faith to find and implement a mutually agreed solution to such additional subsidiary reporting requirement (it being understood that in the case of the 3-16 Reporting Subsidiaries, the Company shall promptly, and in any

event within 90 days of the additional subsidiary reporting requirement taking effect with respect to any 3-16 Reporting Subsidiary or such longer period that the Collateral Agent may agree to, file the required financial statements of such 3-16 Reporting Subsidiary with the SEC and re-pledge the Equity Interests of such 3-16 Reporting Subsidiary hereunder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Pledge Agreement, if Equity Interests of any Subsidiary are not required to be pledged under this Pledge Agreement because Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act of 1934 would require the filing of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary if its Equity Interests were so pledged, in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act of 1934 is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC or any other relevant Governmental Authority to no longer require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation that would not require) the filing of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary if some or all of its Equity Interests are pledged under this Pledge Agreement, then such Equity Interests of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed part of the Collateral and pledged under this Pledge Agreement.

(e) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (a), (b) (c) or (d), the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor, at such Pledgor’s expense, all documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

15. Reinstatement. Each Pledgor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Credit Party or other Person and applied to the Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the Proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Credit Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Pledgor, under any bankruptcy law, state, federal or foreign law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be, and shall remain, in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender, such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of any Pledgor in respect of the amount of such payment.

16. Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Collateral Agency Agreement; provided that (i) any notice to an Equal and Ratable Debt Agent may be made to its address as set forth in the most recent copy of the applicable E&R Debt Instrument provided to the Collateral Agent by the Company and (ii) notice to any Equal and Ratable Debt Agent shall be deemed sufficient notice to the holders of the applicable Equal and Ratable Debt for all purposes hereunder.

17. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Pledge Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Pledge Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Collateral Agent, the Equal and Ratable Debt Agents and the Company.

18. Severability. Any provision of this Pledge Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace

the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

19. Integration. This Pledge Agreement together with the other Loan Documents represents the agreement of each of the Pledgors with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents to which they are a party.

20. Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a) None of the terms or provisions of this Pledge Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the affected Pledgor and the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement and Section 4.1 of the Collateral Agency Agreement; provided, however, that the requisite written consent of the holders of the applicable Equal and Ratable Debt and/or the applicable Equal and Ratable Debt Agent under the applicable E&R Debt Instrument shall be required with respect to any release, waiver, amendment or other modification of this Pledge Agreement that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of one or more series of the Equal and Ratable Debt to equally and ratably share in the security provided for herein with respect to the Collateral. Except as set forth in this Section 20, neither the holders of any of the Equal and Ratable Debt nor any of the Equal and Ratable Debt Agents shall have any rights to approve any release, waiver, amendment, modification, charge, discharge or termination with respect to this Pledge Agreement.

(b) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 20(a) hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

(c) The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

21. Collateral Agent as Agent. Section 7 of the Security Agreement is incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis (to apply to this Pledge Agreement rather than to the Security Agreement).

22. Duty of Collateral Agent. Section 6.2 of the Security Agreement is incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis (to apply to this Pledge Agreement rather than to the Security Agreement).

23. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. Section 8.4 of the Security Agreement is incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis (to apply to this Pledge Agreement rather than to the Security Agreement).

24. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Pledge Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

25. Successors and Assigns. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Pledgors and their respective successors and assigns and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns except that no Pledgor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Pledge Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by an Act of the Secured Parties) except pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement (and any such assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void).

26. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

27. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan in the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan and appellate courts from any thereof (provided that the Collateral Agent reserves the right to bring proceedings against any Pledgor in the courts of any other jurisdiction in connection with the exercise of any rights under any Security Document or the enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof);

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding shall be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at its address referred to in Section 16 or at such other address of which the Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto, and in the case of each Pledgor hereunder other than the Company, such Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Company to accept such service on its behalf;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of any other party hereto (or any Secured Party) to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 27 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages; provided, that this clause (e) shall not relieve the Company from its contractual obligations to indemnify the indemnitees specified in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

28. Acknowledgments. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

(b) neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Pledgor arising out of or in connection with this Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Pledgors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders and any other Secured Party or among the Pledgors and the Lenders and any other Secured Party.

29. GOVERNING LAW. THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

30. Collateral Agency Agreement. In exercising its rights hereunder, the Collateral Agent agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Collateral Agency Agreement and shall be entitled to the privileges, rights, indemnities and other benefits thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement and this Pledge Agreement, the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement shall govern and control.

A. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pledge Agreement.

B. The Pledgors have entered into the Pledge Agreement in order to induce (i) the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to continue to make their respective Extensions of Credit to the Company under the Credit Agreement and (ii) each Cash Management Bank to enter into Secured Cash Management Agreements and each Hedge Bank to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary.

C. The undersigned Subsidiary Pledgor[s] ([each an][the] “Additional Pledgor”) [is][are] the legal and beneficial owner[s] of the Pledged Shares and Pledged Debt described on Schedule 1 hereto.

D. Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement and Section 10(b) of the Pledge Agreement provide that additional Subsidiaries may become Subsidiary Pledgors under the Pledge Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. Each undersigned Additional Pledgor is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of Section 10(b) of the Pledge Agreement to pledge to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties the Pledged Shares and the Pledged Debt (collectively, the “Additional Collateral”) held by such Additional Pledgor and to become a Subsidiary Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement in order to induce (i) the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to continue to make their respective Extensions of Credit to the Company under the Credit Agreement and (ii) each Cash Management Bank to enter into Secured Cash Management Agreements and each Hedge Bank to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary.

Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and each undersigned Additional Pledgor agree as follows:

provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Security Agreement, this Security Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest (A) in motor vehicles the perfection of a security interest in which is excluded from the UCC in the relevant jurisdiction, (B) in any Equity Interests pledged (or specifically excluded from the pledge, including, without limitation, publicly-traded Equity Interests in Unrestricted Subsidiaries) pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, (C) in any asset with respect to which the Administrative Agent has confirmed in writing to the Company its determination that the costs or other consequences (including adverse tax consequences) of providing a security interest therein is excessive in view of the benefits to be obtained by the Secured Parties, (D) in any “intent-to-use” Trademark application prior to the filing of and acceptance by the United States Patent and Trademark Office of a “Statement of Use” or “Amendment to Allege Use” with respect thereto, to the extent, if any, that, and solely during the period, if any, in which, the grant of a security interest therein would invalidate, terminate or impair the validity or enforceability of any registration issuing from such “intent-to-use” Trademark application under applicable federal law and (E) to the extent the grant of such security interest in any property set forth in Section 2.1(a) above that constitutes a contract, agreement, instrument or indenture (1) is prohibited by the terms of such contract, agreement, instrument or indenture without the consent of any other party thereto (other than a Credit Party or a wholly owned Subsidiary of a Credit Party) unless such consent has been expressly obtained, or (2) would give any other party (other than a Credit Party or a wholly owned Subsidiary of a Credit Party) to any such contract, agreement, instrument or indenture the right to terminate its obligations thereunder unless such party has consented to such grant and waived any right to terminate such contract, agreement, instrument or indenture, in each case, other than to the extent that any such prohibition referred to in clauses (1) or (2) would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law (it being understood that the foregoing shall not be deemed to obligate any Grantor to obtain such consents referred to in clauses (1) and (2)).

(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates, counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, amendments to financing statements and, with notice to the Company, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the Security Interests of the Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement, and such financing statements and amendments may describe the Collateral covered thereby as “all assets”, “all personal property” or words of similar effect; provided that, with respect to Fixtures and As-Extracted Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall only file or record financing statements in the jurisdiction of organization of a Grantor other than in connection with a mortgage or a transmitting utility financing statement. Each Grantor hereby also authorizes the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates, counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file continuation statements with respect to previously filed financing statements. A photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction by the Collateral Agent.

Each Grantor hereby agrees to provide to the Collateral Agent, promptly upon request, any information reasonably necessary to effectuate the filings or recordings authorized by this Section 2(b).

The Collateral Agent is further authorized to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interest granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor, and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), as the case may be, as secured party.

The Security Interests are granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.

2.2 Security for Obligations. This Security Agreement secures the payment of all Obligations of each Credit Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Security Agreement secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by any of the Credit Parties to Secured Parties under the Loan Documents, Secured Cash Management Agreement and Secured Hedge Agreements and Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties under the E&R Debt Instruments but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Credit Party.

3. Representations and Warranties.

Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party that:

3.1 Title; No Other Liens. Except for (a) the Security Interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Security Agreement, (b) the Liens permitted by the Credit Agreement and (c) any Liens securing Indebtedness which is no longer outstanding or any Liens with respect to commitments to lend which have been terminated, such Grantor owns each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. No security agreement, financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral that evidences a Lien securing any material Indebtedness is on file or of record in any public office, except such as (i) have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Security Agreement or (ii) are permitted by the Credit Agreement.

3.2 Perfected First Priority Liens.

(a) This Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal, valid and enforceable Security Interests in the Collateral, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in clause (c) of this Section 3.2, the Security Interests granted pursuant to this Security Agreement (i) will constitute valid and perfected Security Interests in the Collateral (as to which perfection may be obtained by the filings or other actions described in clause (A), (B) or (C) of this paragraph and other than with respect to any As-Extracted Collateral that requires the filing or recording of financing statements other than in the office of the Secretary of State or

other central filing office in the jurisdiction of organization of the applicable Grantor in order to perfect) in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Obligations, upon (A) the completion of the filing in the applicable filing offices of all financing statements, in each case, naming each Grantor as “debtor” and the Collateral Agent as “secured party” and describing the Collateral, (B) delivery to the Collateral Agent (or its bailee) of all Instruments, Chattel Paper, Certificated Securities and negotiable Documents in each case, properly endorsed for transfer to the Collateral Agent or in blank and (C) completion of the filing, registration and recording of fully executed agreements in the form hereof (or a supplement hereto) and containing a description of all Collateral constituting registered Patents and Trademarks in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (or any successor office) within a three month period (commencing as of the date hereof) or, with respect to Collateral constituting United States Patents and United States registered Trademarks acquired after the date hereof, within three months thereafter, and all Collateral constituting registered Copyrights in the United States Copyright Office (or any successor office) within a one month period (commencing as of the date hereof) or, with respect to Collateral constituting registered United States Copyrights acquired after the date hereof, within one month thereafter pursuant to 35 USC § 261, 15 USC § 1060 or 17 USC § 205 and the regulations thereunder, and otherwise as may be required pursuant to the laws of any other necessary jurisdiction to the extent that a security interest may be perfected by such filings and recordings, and (ii) are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Grantor shall be required to perfect the Security Interests granted by this Security Agreement (including Security Interests in cash, cash accounts and Investment Property) by any means other than by (i) filings pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the relevant State(s), (ii) filings with the United States government offices with respect to Intellectual Property or (iii) delivery to the Collateral Agent to be held in its possession of all Collateral consisting of Tangible Chattel Paper, Instruments, Certificated Securities or Negotiable Documents; provided that the Grantors shall not be required to deliver to the Collateral Agent any Tangible Chattel Paper, Instrument, Certificated Security or Negotiable Document with an individual fair market value of less than $20,000,000.

(d) It is understood and agreed that the Security Interests in cash and Investment Property created hereunder shall not prevent the Grantors from using such assets in the ordinary course of their respective businesses.

4. Covenants.

Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees with the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that, from and after the date of this Security Agreement until the earlier of (A) the Credit Agreement Obligations are paid in full, the Commitments under the Credit Agreement are terminated and no Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement remain outstanding or (B) a Collateral Fall-Away Event relating to and subsequent to the Collateral Trigger Event giving rise to this Security Agreement shall have occurred:

4.1 Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation.

(a) Such Grantor shall maintain the Security Interest created by this Security Agreement as a perfected Security Interest having at least the priority described in Section 3.1 and shall defend such Security Interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever, in each case subject to Section 3.2(c).

(b) Such Grantor will furnish to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the assets and property of such Grantor and such other reports in connection therewith as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request. In addition, at or prior to the time for delivery of financial statements set forth in Section 5.01(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement, such Grantor will deliver to the Collateral Agent a written supplement substantially in the form of Annex A hereto with respect to any additional Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks registered or applied for with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office and acquired by such Grantor after the date hereof (or if applicable, after the most recent such schedule delivered to the Collateral Agent), all in reasonable detail.

(c) Subject to clause (d) below and Section 3.2(c), each Grantor agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, it will execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents, including all applicable documents required under Section 3.2(b)(i)(C)), which may be required under any applicable law, or which the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order (i) to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the Security Interests created or intended to be created hereby or (ii) to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral, including the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Security Interests created hereby and all applicable documents required under Section 3.2(b)(i)(C), all at the expense of such Grantor.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.1 to the contrary, as further described in Exhibit 1.01-F of the Credit Agreement, (i) with respect to any assets acquired by such Grantor after the date hereof that are required by the Credit Agreement to be subject to the Lien created hereby or (ii) with respect to any Person that, subsequent to the date hereof, becomes a Domestic Subsidiary that is required by the Credit Agreement to become a Grantor hereunder, the relevant Grantor after the acquisition or creation thereof shall promptly take all actions required by the Credit Agreement or this Section 4.1.

4.2 Changes in Locations, Name, etc.. Each Grantor will furnish to the Collateral Agent promptly (and in any event within 30 days of such change) a written notice of any change (i) in its legal name, (ii) in its jurisdiction of organization or location for purposes of the UCC, (iii) in its identity or type of organization or corporate structure or (iv) in its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number. Each Grantor agrees promptly to provide the Collateral Agent with certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in the first sentence of this paragraph. Each Grantor also agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if any material portion of the Collateral is damaged or destroyed.

4.3 Notices. Each Grantor will advise the Collateral Agent and the Lenders promptly, in reasonable detail, of any Lien of which it has knowledge (other than the Security Interests created hereby or Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement) on any of the Collateral which would adversely affect, in any material respect, the ability of the Collateral Agent to exercise any of its remedies hereunder.

5. Remedial Provisions.

5.1 Certain Matters Relating to Accounts.

(a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after giving reasonable notice to the Company and any other relevant Grantor, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to instruct the Collateral Agent to (and upon such instruction, the Collateral Agent shall) make test verifications of the Accounts in any manner and through any medium that such Agent reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as such Agent may require in connection with such test verifications. Such Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.

(b) The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Accounts and the Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required in writing by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Accounts, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of and on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 5.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Accounts shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(c) At the Collateral Agent’s request at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Accounts, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, a Grantor shall not grant any extension of the time of payment of any of the Accounts, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon if the Collateral Agent shall have instructed the Grantors not to grant or make any such extension, credit, discount, compromise or settlement under any circumstances during the continuance of such Event of Default.

5.2 Communications with Credit Parties; Grantors Remain Liable.

(a) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after giving reasonable notice to the relevant Grantor of its intent to do so, communicate with obligors under the Accounts to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts. The Collateral Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.

(b) Upon the written request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Accounts that the Accounts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

5.3 Proceeds to be Turned Over to Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 5.1 with respect to payments of Accounts, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent so requires by notice in writing to the relevant Grantor (it being understood an Event of Default under Section 7.01(g) or (h) of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a request by the Collateral Agent for the purposes of this sentence and in such circumstances, no such written notice shall be required), all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its dominion and control and on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.4.

5.4 Application of Proceeds. (a) The Collateral Agent shall apply the Proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, at any time after receipt as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Grantor and any other reasonable and documented costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(ii) second, to the Secured Parties, an amount equal to all Obligations owing to them on the date of any distribution (whether or not due), and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably as between the Credit Agreement Secured Parties and the Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties (without priority of any one over any other) in proportion to the unpaid amounts of Credit Agreement Obligations and Equal and Ratable Debt Obligations, which such proceeds shall be applied (x) as among the Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties, to such Secured Parties in proportion to the unpaid amounts thereof and (y) as among the Credit

Agreement Secured Parties, to such Credit Agreement Secured Parties in proportion to the unpaid amount of such Credit Agreement Obligations, for application by such Credit Agreement Secured Parties pursuant to the terms thereof, including Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement (or, if the Credit Agreement is amended such that Section 7.01 no longer sets forth the priorities for such application, as may be set forth elsewhere in the Credit Agreement) and

(iii) third, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Grantors or their successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

(b) If at any time any moneys collected or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Security Agreement are distributable pursuant to paragraph (a) above to any Equal and Ratable Debt Agent, and if any Equal and Ratable Debt Agent shall notify the Collateral Agent in writing that no provision is made under the applicable E&R Debt Instrument for the application by such Equal and Ratable Debt Agent of such moneys and that the applicable E&R Debt Instrument does not effectively provide for the receipt and the holding by such Equal and Ratable Debt Agent of such moneys pending the application thereof, then the Collateral Agent, after receipt of such moneys pending the application thereof, and after receipt of such notification, shall at the direction of such Equal and Ratable Debt Agent, invest such amounts in investments constituting Cash Equivalents maturing within 90 days after they are acquired by the Collateral Agent or, in the absence of such direction, hold such moneys uninvested and shall hold all such amounts so distributable and all such investments and the net proceeds thereof in trust solely for such Equal and Ratable Debt Agent (in its capacity as trustee or agent) and for no other purpose until such time as such Equal and Ratable Debt Agent shall request in writing the delivery thereof by the Collateral Agent for application pursuant to the applicable E&R Debt Instrument. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any diminution in funds resulting from any such investment or any liquidation or any liquidation thereof prior to maturity.

(c) In making the determination and allocations required by this Section 5.4, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by each Equal and Ratable Debt Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Equal and Ratable Debt Obligations, information supplied by the Administrative Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Credit Agreement Obligations, information supplied by the Hedge Banks as to the amounts payable with respect to the Secured Hedge Agreements (after giving effect to any applicable netting arrangements) and information supplied by the Cash Management Banks as to the amounts payable under the Secured Cash Management Agreements, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information; provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by any Administrative Agent or any Equal and Ratable Debt Agent of any amounts distributed to them.

(d) If, despite the provisions of this Security Agreement, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Security Agreement, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or other recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties hereunder for distribution in accordance with this Section 5.4.

5.5 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC or any other applicable law and also may, with notice to the relevant Grantor, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at one or more public or private sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Lender or elsewhere for cash or on credit or for future delivery at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of Collateral to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and, upon consummation of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent and any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, and the Collateral Agent may pay the purchase price by crediting the amount thereof against the Obligations. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby waives any claim against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent, at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.5 in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4.

5.6 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

5.7 Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each Grantor shall remain obligated hereunder until a Collateral Fall-Away Event relating to and subsequent to the Collateral Trigger Event giving rise to this Security Agreement shall have occurred, notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Grantor and without notice to or further assent by any Grantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any other

Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith and any Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the applicable Required Lenders or the Collateral Agent, upon a direction by an Act of the Secured Parties, as the case may be, or, in the case of any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement, the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank) may deem advisable from time to time, (d) any E&R Debt Instrument and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, from time to time in accordance with their respective terms and (e) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations. When making any demand hereunder against any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Company or any other Grantor or any other Person, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Company or any other Grantor or any other Person or any release of the Company or any other Grantor or any other Person shall not relieve any Grantor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any Grantor not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

6. The Collateral Agent.

6.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc..

(a) Each Grantor hereby appoints, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, without assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following, in each case after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after written notice by the Collateral Agent of its intent to do so:

(i) take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any

and all such moneys due under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ Security Interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;

(x) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral (with such Grantor’s consent to the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such Grantor or any of its affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral);

(xi) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate (with such Grantor’s consent to the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such Grantor or any of its affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral);

(xii) assign any Intellectual Property (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Intellectual Property pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and

Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of past due ABR Loans under the Credit Agreement from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Security Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Security Agreement is terminated and the Security Interests created hereby are released.

6.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. By acceptance of the benefits under this Security Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, the Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties, the Equal and Ratable Debt Agents, the Hedge Banks and the Cash Management Banks will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that the provisions of this Section 6.2 and Section 7 are intended to induce the other Secured Parties to permit such Persons to be Secured Parties under this Security Agreement and certain of the other Collateral Documents and are being relied upon by such other Secured Parties as consideration therefor.

6.3 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Security Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Agency Agreement, and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the applicable Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

6.4 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional.

6.5 Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the Credit Agreement; Release.

(a) This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each Grantor and the successors and assigns thereof and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns (notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement and any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement the Credit Parties may be free from any Obligations) until the earlier of (A) (i) all Credit Agreement Obligations (other than any contingent indemnity obligations not then due) shall have been satisfied by payment in full, (ii) the Commitments under the Credit Agreement shall be terminated, and (iii) no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (or all such Letters of Credit shall have been fully cash collateralized or otherwise back-stopped to the reasonable satisfaction of the applicable Issuing Bank) or (B) a Collateral Fall-Event Event shall have occurred.

(b) A Subsidiary Grantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Grantor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Grantor ceases to be a Subsidiary Guarantor.

(c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the Security Interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, the Security Interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released and such Collateral sold free and clear of the Lien and Security Interests created hereby. Any release of Collateral permitted by this clause (c) and clause (b) above will be deemed not to impair the Liens created by the Collateral Documents in contravention thereof and any person that is required to deliver an officer’s certificate or opinion of counsel pursuant to Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be entitled to rely upon the foregoing as a basis for delivery of such certificate or opinion.

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (a), (b) or (c), the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

6.6 Reinstatement. Each Grantor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Credit Party or other Person and applied to the Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the Proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Credit Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state, federal or foreign law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and shall remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender, such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of any Grantor in respect of the amount of such payment.

7. Collateral Agent as Agent.

(a) Barclays Bank PLC has been appointed to act as the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agency Agreement by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders represented by it and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties hereby consent to such appointment and agree to the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement, this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party in its capacity as such, provided that the Collateral Agent shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for in Section 5 as directed by an Act of the Secured Parties. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a), each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 7(a).

(b) The Collateral Agent shall at all times be the same Person that is the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agency Agreement.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have any duty whatsoever with respect to any Secured Party that is a counterparty to a Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement the obligations under which constitute Obligations, unless it shall have received written notice in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent from a Grantor or any such Secured Party as to the existence and terms of the applicable Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement.

(d) The obligations of the Collateral Agent to the Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties, Hedge Banks and Cash Management Banks, as applicable, hereunder shall be limited solely to (i) holding the Collateral for the benefit of the Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties, Hedge Banks and Cash Management Banks, as applicable, for so long as (A) any Equal and Ratable Debt Obligations, any obligations in respect of any Secured Cash Management Agreement which constitute Obligations or any obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreement which constitute Obligations, as applicable, remain outstanding and (B) any Equal and Ratable Debt Obligations, any obligations in respect of any Secured Cash Management Agreement which constitute Obligations or any obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreement which constitute Obligations, as applicable, are secured by such Collateral and (ii) distributing any proceeds received by the Collateral Agent from the sale, collection or realization of

the Collateral to the Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties in respect of the Equal and Ratable Debt Obligations, the applicable Secured Party in respect of any obligations in respect of any Secured Cash Management Agreement which constitute Obligations or the applicable Secured Party in respect of any obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreement which constitute Obligations, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Security Agreement. Neither the holders of the Equal and Ratable Debt, any Equal and Ratable Debt Agent, any Hedge Bank nor any Cash Management Bank shall be entitled to exercise (or to direct the Collateral Agent to exercise) any rights or remedies hereunder with respect to the Equal and Ratable Debt Obligations, any obligations in respect of any Secured Cash Management Agreement which constitute Obligations or any obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreement which constitute Obligations, as applicable, including without limitation the right to enforce the Security Interest in the Collateral, request any action, institute proceedings, give any instructions, make any election, give any notice to account debtors, make collections, sell or otherwise foreclose on any portion of the Collateral or execute any amendment, supplement, or acknowledgment hereof. This Security Agreement shall not create any liability of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the other Credit Agreement Secured Parties to any of the Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties, any Hedge Bank or any Cash Management Bank by reason of actions taken with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of the Security Interest in the Collateral, actions with respect to the occurrence of an Event of Default, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release, or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral or action with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party or the valuation, use or protection of the Collateral.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by the Company or any other obligor of the Equal and Ratable Debt Obligations, any obligations in respect of any Secured Cash Management Agreement which constitute Obligations or any obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreement which constitute Obligations, as applicable.

(f) The Collateral Agent may execute any of the powers granted under this Security Agreement and perform any duty hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact, and shall not be responsible for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care and without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(g) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received a Notice of Event of Default (as defined in the Collateral Agency Agreement). The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation either prior to or after receiving such notice to inquire whether an Event of Default has, in fact, occurred and shall be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any notice so furnished to it.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Security Agreement shall or shall be construed to (i) result in the Security Interest in the Collateral securing the Equal and Ratable Debt Obligations less than equally and ratably with the Credit Agreement Obligations to the extent required by the E&R Debt Instruments or (ii) modify or affect the rights of the Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties to receive the pro rata share specified in Section 5.4(a)(ii) of any proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral.

(i) The parties hereto agree that the Equal and Ratable Debt Obligations and the Credit Agreement Obligations are, and will be, equally and ratably secured with each other by the Liens on the Collateral, and that it is their intention to give full effect to the equal and ratable provisions of the E&R Debt Instruments, as in effect on the date hereof. To the extent that the rights and benefits herein or

in any other Collateral Document conferred on the Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties shall be held to exceed the rights and benefits required so to be conferred by such provisions, such rights and benefits shall be limited so as to provide such Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties only those rights and benefits that are required by such provisions. Any and all rights not herein expressly given to the Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties are expressly reserved to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties other than the Equal and Ratable Debt Secured Parties.

8. Miscellaneous.

8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the affected Grantor and the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement and Section 4.1 of the Collateral Agency Agreement; provided, however, that the requisite written consent of the holders of the applicable Equal and Ratable Debt and/or the applicable Equal and Ratable Debt Agent under the applicable E&R Debt Instrument shall be required with respect to any proposed release, waiver, amendment or other modification of this Security Agreement that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of one or more series of the Equal and Ratable Debt to equally and ratably share in the security provided for herein with respect to the Collateral. Except as set forth in this Section 8.1, neither the holders of any of the Equal and Ratable Debt nor any of the Equal and Ratable Debt Agents shall have any rights to approve any release, waiver, amendment, modification, charge, discharge or termination with respect to this Security Agreement.

8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Collateral Agency Agreement; provided that (i) any notice to an Equal and Ratable Debt Agent may be made to its address as set forth in the most recent copy of the applicable E&R Debt Instrument provided to the Collateral Agent by the Company and (ii) notice to any Equal and Ratable Debt Agent shall be deemed sufficient notice to the holders of the applicable Equal and Ratable Debt for all purposes hereunder.

8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to pay any and all expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that may be paid or incurred by any Secured Party in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, such Grantor under this Security Agreement.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Security Agreement to the extent the Company would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Equal and Ratable Debt and the E&R Debt Instruments.

8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Grantors and their respective successors and assigns and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns except that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Security Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by an Act of the Secured Parties) except pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement (and any such assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void).

8.6 Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Security Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Security Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Collateral Agent, the Equal and Ratable Debt Agents and the Company.

8.7 Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

8.8 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

8.9 Integration. This Security Agreement together with the other Loan Documents represents the agreement of each of the Grantors with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents to which they are a party.

8.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,

AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

8.11 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of any other party hereto (or any Secured Party) to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 8.11 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages; provided, that this clause (e) shall not relieve the Company from its contractual obligations to indemnify the indemnitees specified in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

8.12 Acknowledgments. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

(b) neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Security Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement.

8.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

If any Secured Party collects or receives any proceeds from a foreclosure, collection or other enforcement or proceeds of any title or other insurance that should have been applied to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.6(a) above, such Secured Party will forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be applied in accordance with Section 2.6(a).

The Collateral Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or any of the Collateral Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Secured Party or any Credit Party and nothing herein or any of the Collateral Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the Collateral Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the Collateral Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have been instructed in respect thereof by an Act of the Secured Parties and, upon such instruction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such written instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Company and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the Collateral Documents in accordance with an Act of the Secured Parties.

(d) The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any Collateral Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 2.8 shall apply to any of the Affiliates of the Collateral Agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Collateral Documents as well as activities as the Collateral Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 2.8 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were

named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Collateral Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties and (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent.

(e) Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Agreement mutatis mutandis and shall apply to the Collateral Agent in respect of any of its duties, obligations and rights hereunder or under any Collateral Documents.

(f) The Administrative Agent agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the Collateral Documents or otherwise in its capacity as the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Collateral Documents; provided, that no Secured Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to the Collateral Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Collateral Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

(g) No direction given to the Collateral Agent which imposes, or purports to impose, upon the Collateral Agent any obligation not set forth in or arising under this Agreement or any Collateral Document accepted or entered into by the Collateral Agent shall be binding upon the Collateral Agent.

(h) No Secured Party or any other holder of Obligations shall have any responsibility or duty (except for any duties pursuant to Section 2.8(f) hereof) whatsoever in respect of the Collateral or the Collateral Documents or any other interest, right, power or remedy granted to or enforceable by the Collateral Agent, it being understood and agreed by the Collateral Agent and by each Credit Party that only the Collateral Agent shall be bound by, or liable for breach of, the obligations of the Collateral Agent set forth in or arising under the Collateral Documents, including all obligations imposed by law upon a secured party relating to the protection, maintenance, release or enforcement of any security interest in any Collateral or any other interest, right, power or remedy of the Collateral Agent.

(i) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Administrative Agent and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Secured Parties with (except after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default) the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Secured Parties and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may (with the consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Collateral

Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank; provided that if such retiring Collateral Agent shall notify the Company and the Administrative Agent that no qualifying person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (x) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (y) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to the Administrative Agent directly, until such time as the Requisite Secured Parties with (except after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default) the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as a Collateral Agent hereunder by such a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Section 2.8(e) and (f) hereof and Section 8.06 and Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as a Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, the retiring Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all Collateral within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Agent and shall execute and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments as may be necessary or desirable to transfer the rights of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent. After any retiring the Collateral Agent’s resignation or replacement hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article 2 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Collateral Agent. Upon any such resignation, the former Collateral Agent shall take all steps reasonably necessary to assign the Liens and security interests in Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent and deliver any Collateral in its physical possession to the successor Collateral Agent.

(j) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession, the Collateral Agent will have no duty (i) as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee, (ii) to derive or obtain any income thereon or (iii) as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Collateral Agent will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

(k) The rights and powers granted herein to the Collateral Agent are powers coupled with an interest, and will neither be affected by the bankruptcy of any Credit Party nor by the lapse of time.

2.9 DECISION-MAKING.

(a) None of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any holder of the Equal and Ratable Debt or any other Secured Party may exercise or enforce any right, power or discretion, give any consent or any waiver, or make any determination under or in respect of any provisions of the Secured Obligation Documents or the Collateral Documents in violation of this Agreement.

(b) If, at any time, (i) the Collateral Agent proposes to exercise any discretion conferred on it under the Collateral Documents or (ii) any party hereto in accordance with this Agreement notifies the Collateral Agent of a matter with respect to which it believes the Collateral Agent should exercise its discretion, then the Collateral Agent shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Administrative Agent of the matter in question specifying, if relevant, the manner in which the Collateral Agent proposes to exercise its relevant discretion.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall, within 30 days after receipt of a written request therefor, provide a certificate to the Collateral Agent setting forth instructions for responding to the matter for which its instructions were sought by the Collateral Agent.

(d) As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent will act or refrain from acting as directed by an Act of the Secured Parties and shall be fully protected and have no liability to any Secured Party for such course of action or inaction if the Collateral Agent relies on such Act of the Secured Parties, and any action taken or omitted to be taken pursuant to such Act of the Secured Parties shall be binding on the Secured Parties.

ARTICLE 3

(i) an Authorized Officer’s execution and delivery of a Permitted Refinancing Instruments Designation with respect to such Refinancing Indebtedness substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (with such changes as the Company and the Collateral Agent may agree to in their reasonable discretion) (a “Permitted Refinancing Instruments Designation”), and the delivery of such executed Permitted Refinancing Instruments Designation to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent; provided that the Company may only effect such designation by delivering to the Collateral Agent a Permitted Refinancing Instruments Designation that attaches as Exhibit 1 to such Permitted Refinancing Instruments Designation a Reaffirmation Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 1 to Exhibit A of this Agreement (with such changes as the Company and the Collateral Agent may agree to in their reasonable discretion) (a “Refinancing Instruments Reaffirmation Agreement”), which Refinancing Instruments Reaffirmation Agreement has been duly executed by the Company, each other Grantor and each Guarantor; and

(ii) such Refinancing Indebtedness that is designated as a “Permitted Refinancing Instrument” pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall constitute “Refinancing Indebtedness”.

The date on which the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied with respect to such Refinancing Indebtedness is herein called the “Refinancing Instruments Effective Date”. Prior to the Refinancing Instruments Effective Date with respect to such Refinancing Indebtedness, all references herein and in the other Collateral Documents to Permitted Refinancing Instruments shall be deemed not to take into account such Refinancing Indebtedness, and the rights and obligations of the Collateral Agent shall be determined on the basis that such Refinancing Indebtedness is not then so designated. On and after the Refinancing Instruments Effective Date with respect to such Refinancing Indebtedness, all references herein to Permitted Refinancing Instruments shall be deemed to take into account such Refinancing Indebtedness Document, and the rights and obligations of the Collateral Agent shall be determined on the basis that such Refinancing Indebtedness is then so designated.

(c) With respect to any obligations in respect of Refinancing Indebtedness that is designated as a “Permitted Refinancing Instrument” after the date hereof, the Company and each of the other Grantors agrees (x) to take such actions (if any) as may from time to time reasonably be requested by the Collateral Agent or any Act of the Secured Parties and enter into such amendments, modifications and/or supplements to the then existing Collateral Documents (or execute and deliver such additional Collateral Documents) as may from time to time be reasonably requested by such Persons (including as contemplated by Section 4.12(d) below) which may be entered into without the consent of any party hereto other than the Collateral Agent and the applicable Grantors, to ensure that the obligations in respect of such Permitted Refinancing Instrument are secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, the relevant Collateral Documents and any Lien on any Collateral to secure such obligations is a valid and perfected Lien (with the priority contemplated by the Collateral Documents), and each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) hereby agrees to, and authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into, any such amendments, modifications and/or supplements (and additional Collateral Documents); provided that such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the validity, perfection or priority of the Lien of the Collateral Agent and (y) otherwise to reasonably cooperate to effectuate a designation of Refinancing Indebtedness as a Permitted Refinancing Instrument pursuant to this Section 4.12 (including without limitation, if requested, by executing an acknowledgment of the

occurrence of any Refinancing Instruments Effective Date). The Company and each other Grantor hereby further agree that, if there are any recording, filing or other similar fees payable in connection with any of the actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 4.12(c) or Section 4.12(d), all such amounts shall be paid by, and shall be for the account of, the Company and the respective Grantors, on a joint and several basis.

(d) Without limitation of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, such Grantor will promptly do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register any and all such further acts, agreements, collateral assignments, financing statements and continuations thereof, termination statements, notices of assignment, transfers, certificates, assurances and other instruments as reasonably be requested by the Collateral Agent or any Act of the Secured Parties from time to time in order to carry out more effectively the purposes of Section 4.12(c).

(i) an Authorized Officer’s execution and delivery of an Additional Equal and Ratable Instruments Designation with respect to such Additional Equal and Ratable Debt substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (with such changes as the Company and the Collateral Agent may agree to in their reasonable discretion) (a “Additional Equal and Ratable Instruments Designation”), and the delivery of such executed Additional Equal and Ratable Instruments Designation to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent; provided that the Company may only effect such designation by delivering to the Collateral Agent an Additional Equal and Ratable Instruments Designation that attaches as Exhibit 1 to such Additional Equal and Ratable Instruments Designation a Reaffirmation Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 1 to Exhibit B of this Agreement (with such changes as the Company and the Collateral Agent may agree to in their reasonable discretion) (an “Additional Equal and Ratable Instruments Reaffirmation Agreement”), which Additional Equal and Ratable Instruments Reaffirmation Agreement has been duly executed by the Company, each other Grantor and each Guarantor; and

(ii) such Additional Equal and Ratable Debt that is designated as an “Additional Equal and Ratable Instrument” pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall constitute “Additional Equal and Ratable Debt” as defined herein.

(b) Upon satisfaction of the conditions in Section 4.13(a), any Additional Equal and Ratable Debt that is or may be incurred under such Additional Equal and Ratable Debt Document shall constitute an “Additional Equal and Ratable Instrument”. The date on which the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied with respect to such Additional Equal and Ratable Debt is herein called the “Additional Equal and Ratable Instruments Effective Date”. Prior to the Additional Equal and Ratable Instruments Effective Date with respect to such Additional Equal and Ratable Debt, all references herein and in the other Collateral Documents to Additional Equal and Ratable Instruments shall be deemed not to take into account such Additional Equal and Ratable Debt, and the rights and obligations of the Collateral Agent shall be determined on the basis that such Additional Equal and Ratable Debt is not then so designated. On and after the Additional Equal and Ratable Instruments

Effective Date with respect to such Additional Equal and Ratable Debt, all references herein to Additional Equal and Ratable Instruments shall be deemed to take into account such Additional Equal and Ratable Debt Document, and the rights and obligations of the Collateral Agent shall be determined on the basis that such Additional Equal and Ratable Debt is then so designated.

(c) With respect to any obligations in respect of Additional Equal and Ratable Debt that is designated as an “Additional Equal and Ratable Instrument” after the date hereof, the Company and each of the other Grantors agrees (x) to take such actions (if any) as may from time to time reasonably be requested by the Collateral Agent or any Act of the Secured Parties and enter into such amendments, modifications and/or supplements to the then existing Collateral Documents (or execute and deliver such additional Collateral Documents) as may from time to time be reasonably requested by such Persons (including as contemplated by Section 4.13(d) below) which may be entered into without the consent of any party hereto other than the Collateral Agent and the applicable Grantors, to ensure that the obligations in respect of such Additional Equal and Ratable Instrument are secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, the relevant Collateral Documents and any Lien on any Collateral to secure such obligations is a valid and perfected Lien (with the priority contemplated by the Collateral Documents), and each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) hereby agrees to, and authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into, any such amendments, modifications and/or supplements (and additional Collateral Documents); provided that such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the validity, perfection or priority of the Lien of the Collateral Agent and (y) otherwise to reasonably cooperate to effectuate a designation of Additional Equal and Ratable Debt as an Additional Equal and Ratable Instrument pursuant to this Section 4.13 (including without limitation, if requested, by executing an acknowledgment of the occurrence of any Additional Equal and Ratable Instruments Effective Date). The Company and each other Grantor hereby further agree that, if there are any recording, filing or other similar fees payable in connection with any of the actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 4.13(c) or Section 4.13(d), all such amounts shall be paid by, and shall be for the account of, the Company and the respective Grantors, on a joint and several basis.
