CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as of November 28, 2017 and is made by and among CONSOL ENERGY INC. (formerly known as CONSOL MINING CORPORATION), a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), EACH OF THE GUARANTORS (as hereinafter defined), the LENDERS (as hereinafter defined), PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent for the Revolving Lenders and Term A Lenders in their capacities as such under this Agreement (in such capacity, the “Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent”), CITIBANK, N.A., as administrative agent for the Term B Lenders in their capacities as such under this Agreement (in such capacity, the “TLB Administrative Agent”) and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as collateral agent for the Lenders and the other Secured Parties (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”).

The Borrower has requested the Lenders to provide a revolving credit facility and term loan facilities to the Borrower. In consideration of their mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

1. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

1.1 Certain Definitions.

In addition to words and terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the following words and terms shall have the following meanings, respectively, unless the context hereof clearly requires otherwise:

“Account” shall have the meaning set forth in the Security Agreement.

“Additional Credit Extension Amendment” shall mean an amendment to this Agreement (which may, at the option of the applicable Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower, be in the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) providing for any Incremental Facilities pursuant to Section 2.11 [Incremental Facilities], Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.12 [Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments], Refinancing Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13 [Refinancing Term Loans], and/or Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14 [Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments], which shall be consistent with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the parties thereto. Each Additional Credit Extension Amendment shall be executed by (i) each applicable Administrative Agent, (ii) in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase, Extended Revolving Credit Commitment or Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment, the Issuing Lenders that would be entitled, under Section 11.8.2(c) [Assignments by Lenders], to consent to an assignment to the Lenders providing such Revolving Commitment Increase, Extended Revolving Credit Commitment or Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment as if such transaction were an assignment, (iii) in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase, Extended Revolving Credit Commitment or Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment, the Swingline Lender, (iv) the Loan Parties and (v) the other parties specified in the applicable Section of this Agreement (but not any other Lender not specified in the applicable Section of this Agreement) and acknowledged by the Collateral Agent, but shall not effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected Lender or all Lenders pursuant to the proviso in Section 11.1.1 [Required Consents] (other than amendments relating to provisions of Incremental Term B Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, Extended Term Commitments, Extended Term Loans or Refinancing Term Loans that are expressly permitted to be different from those of the Loans or Commitments under the terms of Section 2.11 [Incremental Facilities], Section 2.12 [Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments] or Section 2.13 [Refinancing Term Loans], as applicable). Any Additional Credit Extension Amendment may include conditions for delivery of

customary opinions of counsel and other documentation consistent with the conditions in Section 7.1.1 [Deliveries] and certificates confirming satisfaction of conditions consistent with Section 7.2 [Each Additional Loan or Letter of Credit], all to the extent reasonably requested by any applicable Agent or the other parties to such Additional Credit Extension Amendment; provided that the effectiveness of each Additional Credit Extension Amendment shall be subject to the Required Flood Materials having been made available to the Lenders not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Additional Credit Extension Amendment. In addition, each Additional Credit Extension Amendment shall include a certification by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower that, after giving effect to such Additional Credit Extension Amendment and assuming that any Revolving Commitment Increase (if at the time of such Revolving Commitment Increase any Incremental Facility is being established in whole or in part on clause (2) of the definition of “Incremental Cap”) is fully drawn (and, notwithstanding the definition of “Indebtedness,” all letters of credit (including Letters of Credit) being deemed to have a principal amount of outstanding Indebtedness equal to the maximum potential liability of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder), the aggregate amount of Indebtedness under this Agreement shall not exceed the Applicable Other Indebtedness Cap; provided that (x) at any Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrower shall provide such Administrative Agent calculations and supporting information reasonably satisfactory to such Administrative Agent showing compliance with the Applicable Other Indebtedness Cap and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing clause (x), no Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to request such calculation or information or to determine compliance with the Applicable Other Indebtedness Cap, and shall be fully entitled to assume (without any further investigation) that each borrowing of Loans and each issuance, amendment, extension or increase of a Letter of Credit complies with the Applicable Other Indebtedness Cap if the Borrower makes a Loan Request for such borrowing or application or request with respect to any such Letter of Credit.

“Administrative Agent’s Letter” shall have the meaning specified in Section 10.9 [Administrative Agent’s Fee].

“Affiliate” of any specified Person shall mean any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For purposes of this definition, “control,” as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of Voting Stock, by agreement or otherwise. For purposes of this definition, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with” have correlative meanings. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Persons that serves as an Agent or the collateral agent under the Affiliated Company Loan Documents or is a Secured Party shall be deemed an Affiliate of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates solely by virtue of serving or being in such capacity.

“Affiliate Transaction” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 8.2.8 [Affiliate Transactions].

“Affiliated Company Loan Agreement” shall mean the revolving credit facility credit agreement dated the date hereof among the XXX Xxxxxx, as lender, PNC, as collateral agent, and CNXC, as borrower, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1(A)(1).

-2-

“Affiliated Company Loan Agreement Security Documents” shall mean, collectively, each security document or pledge agreement delivered in accordance with applicable local Law to grant a valid, perfected security interest in favor of the collateral agent under the Affiliated Company Loan Agreement for the benefit of such collateral agent and the ALF Lender in any property as collateral for the obligations under the Affiliated Company Loan Agreement or any such security document or pledge agreement, and all UCC or other financing statements or instruments of perfection required by this Agreement or the Affiliated Company Loan Agreement or any other such security document or pledge agreement to be filed with respect to the security interests in property and fixtures created pursuant to any document or instrument utilized to pledge or grant or purport to pledge or grant a security interest or lien on any property as collateral for the obligations under the Affiliated Company Loan Agreement, and amendments, supplements or joinders to the foregoing, in each case to the extent permitted hereunder and by the Affiliated Company Loan Agreement.

In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the applicable Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the applicable Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans of the applicable Class, under the Base Rate Option. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the applicable Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. 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 applicable Administrative Agent.

2.6.3 Making Swing Loans.

So long as the Swingline Lender elects to make Swing Loans, the Swingline Lender shall, after receipt by it of a Swing Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.5.2 [Swing Loan Requests], fund such Swing Loan to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 3:00 p.m. on the Borrowing Date.

-67-

2.6.4 Repayment of Loans.

The Borrower shall repay all Loans together with all outstanding interest thereon on the Maturity Date with respect thereto (provided that in the case of any Swing Loans, the parenthetical phrase in the definition of “Revolving Maturity Date” shall not be given effect unless the applicable Additional Credit Extension Amendment has been consented to by the Swingline Lender). On each date that a Revolving Credit Loan is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swing Loans then outstanding.

2.7 Notes.

2.7.1 Revolving Credit Notes.

If requested by any Revolving Lender, the obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans made to it by such Revolving Lender, together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note payable to the order of such Revolving Lender in a face amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Lender. The Revolving Credit Loans shall mature, and the Borrower unconditionally agrees to pay in full the unpaid principal amount and all amounts outstanding and unpaid in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender, on the Revolving Maturity Date.

2.7.2 Swing Loan Note.

The obligation of the Borrower to repay the unpaid principal amount of the Swing Loans made to it by the Swingline Lender, together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a Swing Loan Note payable to the order of the Swingline Lender in a face amount equal to the Swingline Cap.

2.7.3 Term Notes.

If requested by any Term Lender, the obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Term Loans of each Class made to it by such Term Lender, together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a Term Note payable to the order of such Term Lender in a face amount equal to the Term Loans of each Class made by such Term Lender.

2.8 Use of Proceeds.

The proceeds of the Loans will be used in accordance with Section 8.1.11 [Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations].

2.9 Letters of Credit.

2.9.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) The Borrower may at any time prior to the Letter of Credit Maturity Date request the issuance of a letter of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”), for its own account or the account of any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, or the amendment or extension of an existing Letter of Credit, by delivering or transmitting by facsimile or email (in “pdf,” “tif” or similar format), to an Issuing Lender selected by the Borrower (with a copy to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent) a completed application for letter

-68-

of credit, or request for such amendment or extension, as applicable, signed by the Borrower (and, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, also signed by such Subsidiary) and otherwise in such form as such Issuing Lender may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Borrower shall authorize and direct each Issuing Lender to name the Borrower as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit and, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, to name such Subsidiary as the “Co-Applicant” of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after receipt of any letter of credit application, such Issuing Lender shall confirm with the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuing Lender will provide the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Letters of Credit may be issued in the form of a Standby Letter of Credit or a Commercial Letter of Credit; provided that the Specified Issuing Lenders shall not be required to issue any Commercial Letter of Credit. Letters of Credit shall be issued only in U.S. Dollars. For the avoidance of doubt, the Loan Parties acknowledge that each Letter of Credit issued for the account of Persons other than the Loan Parties shall constitute an Investment and Guaranty in an amount equal to the face amount of such Letter of Credit, without duplication, and shall be subject to the limitations set forth herein.

(b) Unless an Issuing Lender has received notice from any Lender, the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] are not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on (among other things) the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.9, such Issuing Lender or any of such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates will issue the proposed Letter of Credit or agree to such amendment or extension; provided that after giving effect thereto:

(i) no Letter of Credit shall expire later than the earlier of (x) subject to Section 2.9.1(c), twelve (12) months from the date of issuance or extension, unless the applicable Issuing Lender agrees, and (y) with respect to any Issuing Lender, the Letter of Credit Maturity Date for such Issuing Lender, unless such Issuing Lender agrees and the Borrower complies with the requirements of Section 2.9.10 [Cash Collateral Prior to the Revolving Maturity Date]; and

(ii) in no event shall (x) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations exceed the Letter of Credit Aggregate Sublimit at any one time outstanding, (y) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding by any Issuing Lender exceed its Letter of Credit Issuing Lender Sublimit at any one time (unless otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Lender) or (z) the Revolving Facility Usage exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments that would be in effect at any time prior to the expiration of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time (after giving effect to the Maturity Date of any Revolving Credit Commitment occurring prior to the expiration of all such Letters of Credit).

Each request for the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that it shall be in compliance with the preceding sentence and with Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will also deliver to the Borrower and the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

-69-

(c) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable request for a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender may, in its 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 Lender 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 Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Lender for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Maturity Date; provided, however, that the Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Issuing Lender has determined that it would not be permitted to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving/TLA Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7.2 [Each Additional Loan or Letter of Credit] are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Issuing Lender not to permit such extension.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 2.9.1(a), no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Official Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Official Body with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.

(e) All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto and shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

2.9.2 Letter of Credit Fees.

The Borrower shall pay (i) to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Revolving Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate on the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit, and (ii) to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender. All Letter of Credit Fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed and shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date following issuance of each Letter of Credit; provided, however, that fronting fees on Commercial Letters of Credit shall be payable at the time of issuance. The Borrower shall also pay to each Issuing Lender for such Issuing Lender’s sole account such Issuing Lender’s then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender as such Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, extension, renewal, amendment (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit.

-70-

2.9.3 Participations, Disbursements, Reimbursement.

(a) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

(b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent thereof. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) such Issuing Lender prior to 12:00 noon on the next Business Day following each date that an amount is paid by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Reimbursement Date”) by paying to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender an amount equal to the amount so paid by such Issuing Lender plus interest at the interest rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option from the date on which the amount was paid by such Issuing Lender to the date such Issuing Lender is reimbursed, unless otherwise required by the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender. In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse such Issuing Lender (through the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent) for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon on the Reimbursement Date, the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and each such Revolving Lender’s Ratable Share of the amount of such drawing. Any notice given by the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9.3(b) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(c) Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.9.3(b) make available to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. If any Revolving Lender so notified fails to make available to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Reimbursement Date, then interest shall accrue on such Revolving Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Reimbursement Date to the date on which such Revolving Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days following the Reimbursement Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day following the Reimbursement Date. Promptly following receipt by the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.9.3, the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.9.3(c) to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Revolving Lender and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9.3(c) to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. The Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender will promptly give notice (as described in Section 2.9.3(b) above) of the occurrence of the Reimbursement Date, but failure of the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender to give any such notice on the Reimbursement Date or in sufficient time to enable any Revolving Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Revolving Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.9.3(c).

-71-

(d) If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full as set forth in Section 2.9.3(b), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the first Business Day after receipt of notice to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.9.3(b), then Section 4.3(b) [Interest After Default] shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.3(b) to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

2.9.4 Repayment of Participation Advances.

(a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Lender of immediately available funds from the Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by such Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Revolving Lender has made a payment to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9.4 (each such payment by a Revolving Lender, a “Participation Advance”) to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by such Issuing Lender under such a Letter of Credit, the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender will pay to each Revolving Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent shall retain for the account of such Issuing Lender the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Revolving Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by such Issuing Lender.

(b) If an Issuing Lender or the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of any payment made by any Loan Party to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made under any Letter of Credit or interest or fees thereon, each Revolving Lender shall, on demand of the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, forthwith return to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Revolving Lender to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.

2.9.5 Documentation.

Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of each Issuing Xxxxxx’s Issuer Documents and written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Loan Party’s own. In the event of a conflict between an Issuer Document and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, no Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Loan Party’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

-72-

2.9.6 Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests.

In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

2.9.7 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.

(l) the fact that the Revolving Maturity Date shall have passed or this Agreement or the Revolving Credit Commitments or other Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and

(m) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.9.8 Indemnity.

The Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Issuing Lender and any of its Affiliates that has issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes (subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.9.8 [Indemnity]), penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which such Issuing Lender or any of such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit issued by it, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 2.9.8 [Indemnity] shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

2.9.9 Liability for Acts and Omissions.

(a) As between any Loan Party and an Issuing Lender, or such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, such Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, no Issuing Lender shall be responsible for any of the following including any losses or damages to any Loan Party or other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document (including all sight drafts, certificates and all other instruments) submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if such Issuing Lender or such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or

-74-

in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender or such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, as applicable, including any acts of any Official Body, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuing Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Issuing Lender from liability for such Issuing Xxxxxx’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In no event shall any Issuing Lender or any Issuing Lender’s Affiliates be liable to any Loan Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Issuing Lender and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by such Issuing Lender or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit or any beneficiary, transferee, or assignee of proceeds thereof; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by such Issuing Lender or its Affiliate; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on such Issuing Lender or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each, an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject to such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Lender or such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it, the Issuer Documents or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Lender or such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender, unless such action taken or omitted is found in a final and nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct.

2.9.10 Cash Collateral Prior to the Revolving Maturity Date.

If the Borrower or any other Loan Party requests the issuance, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit and such Letter of Credit would have an expiration date which is after the Letter of Credit Maturity Date, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend or renew such Letter of Credit, but may elect to do so if the requirements of this Section 2.9.10 are satisfied. The Borrower shall, on or before the issuance, extension or renewal of such Letter of Credit, deposit and pledge Cash Collateral for each such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of the face value of such outstanding Letter of Credit plus the amount of fees that would be due under such Letter of Credit through the expiry date of such Letter of Credit. Such Cash Collateral shall be deposited pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender and the Borrower and shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at such Issuing Lender. The Borrower hereby grants to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Issuing Lender, a security interest in all Cash Collateral pledged to such Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section or otherwise under this Agreement. The Cash Collateral related to a particular Letter of Credit shall be released by the applicable Issuing Lender upon termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit and the reimbursement by the Loan Parties of all amounts drawn thereon and the payment in full of all fees accrued thereon through the date of such expiration or termination. After the Revolving Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay any and all fees associated with any such Letter of Credit with an expiration date that extends beyond the Revolving Maturity Date directly to the applicable Issuing Lender.

2.9.11 Issuing Lender Reporting Requirements.

Each Issuing Lender shall, on the first Business Day of each month, provide to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent and the Borrower a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance satisfactory to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), and the expiration date of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during the preceding month, and any other information relating to such Letter of Credit that the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent may request.

2.10 Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans.

The Swingline Lender may, at its option, exercisable at any time for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of the Swing Loans, and each Revolving Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Loans, plus, if the Swingline Lender so requests, accrued interest thereon; provided that no Revolving Lender shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Credit Loans in excess of the amount that would cause its Revolving Exposure to exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment. Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Base Rate Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.5.1 [Loan Requests] without regard to any of the requirements of that provision. The Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent on behalf of the Swingline Lender shall provide notice to the Revolving Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile or email (in “pdf,” “tif” or similar format)) no later than 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made under this Section 2.10 [Borrowing to Repay Swing Loans] and of the apportionment among the Revolving Lenders, and the Revolving Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 2.5 [Loan Requests] or Section 7.2 [Each Additional Loan or Letter of Credit] are then satisfied) to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent on behalf of the Swingline Lender, no later than 3:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date.

2.11 Incremental Facilities.

2.11.1 Establishment of Incremental Facilities.

The Borrower may by written notice to each Administrative Agent elect to seek (x) commitments to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments (any such increase a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) and/or (y) an increase to the principal amount of Term B Loans (a “Term B Loan Increase”) or the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (together with each Term B Loan Increase, an “Incremental Term B Loan Commitment”; each Incremental Term B Loan Commitment and Revolving Commitment Increase, an “Incremental Facility”) by an aggregate amount for all Incremental Facilities not in excess of the Incremental Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred any Incremental Facility in the following order: first, pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of “Incremental Cap” until such clause is no longer available, and thereafter, pursuant to clause (2) of the definition of “Incremental Cap.” Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Incremental Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the applicable Incremental Facility shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to each Administrative Agent.

No Person that is a Lender prior to the effectiveness of any applicable Additional Credit Extension Amendment (a “Current Lender”) with respect to any Incremental Facility shall be obligated to provide any such Incremental Facility, and any commitment of any Current Lender to provide an Incremental Facility shall be in the sole discretion of such Current Lender.

2.11.2 Conditions.

Each Incremental Facility shall become effective, as of the applicable Incremental Effective Date; provided that:

(a) before and after giving effect to such Incremental Facility (and, if such Incremental Facility is being established in whole or in part on clause (2) of the definition of “Incremental Cap,” assuming the full amount of such Incremental Facility is drawn), each of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Additional Loan or Letter of Credit] shall be satisfied;

(b) before and after giving effect to such Incremental Facility (and, if such Incremental Facility is being established in whole or in part on clause (2) of the definition of “Incremental Cap,” assuming the full amount of such Incremental Facility is drawn), no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(c) the Loan Parties shall deliver to each Agent on or before the effective date of such Incremental Facility the following documents in a form reasonably acceptable to each applicable Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent: (1) certifications of their corporate secretaries with attached resolutions certifying that the Incremental Facility has been approved by the Loan Parties, (2) opinions of counsel, addressed to each Administrative Agent and the Lenders addressing the authorization, execution and enforceability of the Loan Documents executed in connection with such Incremental Facility, and (3) if requested by the Collateral Agent, amendments to the Mortgages executed and delivered by the applicable Loan Parties to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to reflect the Incremental Facility, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, together with (A) the Required Flood Materials and (B) local counsel opinions regarding the due authorization, execution, delivery, and enforceability of such mortgage amendments. The Loan Parties shall cause the amendments described in clause (3) above to be properly recorded and/or filed in the applicable filing or recording offices; and

-77-

(d) the Borrower shall deliver to each Agent a certificate dated as of the Incremental Effective Date signed by a Authorized Officer of the Borrower (1) certifying that the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above are satisfied and (2) if clause (2) of the definition of “Incremental Cap” is being utilized, setting forth calculations in reasonable detail showing compliance with such clause.

2.11.3 Terms of Revolving Commitment Increases.

Each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be documented as an increase to the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments with the latest Revolving Maturity Date and shall be on the same terms (other than with respect to any upfront fees) as such Class. Each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be not less than $25,000,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

2.11.4 Terms of Incremental Term B Loan Commitment.

The terms and provisions of the Incremental Term B Loan Commitments and the Term B Loans made pursuant thereto shall be as follows:

(a) each Term B Loan Increase shall be on the same terms (other than, subject to clause (e) below, with respect to any upfront fees or original issue discount) as the Initial Term B Loans, and clauses (c), (d), (f) and (g) below shall not apply to such Term B Loan Increase;

(b) any Incremental Term B Loans shall be secured on a pari passu basis on the Collateral with the Initial Term B Loans and shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are not Guarantors and all Liens granted to secure such Incremental Term B Loans shall be granted pursuant to the Security Documents;

(c) the final maturity date of all Incremental Term B Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date as of the time of incurrence of such Incremental Term B Loans;

(d) the Incremental Term B Loans shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity equal to or greater than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term B Loans outstanding prior to such proposed incurrence of such Incremental Term B Loans;

(e) the All-In Yield applicable to any Incremental Term B Loans will be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term B Loans; provided that if the All-In Yield for any Incremental Term B Loans is higher than the All-In Yield for the Initial Term B Loans by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Margins for the Initial Term B Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the All-In Yield of the Initial Term B Loans is equal to the All-In Yield for such Incremental Term B Loans minus 50 basis points; provided, that if such Incremental Term B Loans include any LIBOR or Base Rate interest rate “floor” greater than that applicable to the Initial Term B Loans, such differential between interest rate floors shall be equated to Applicable Margins for purposes of the foregoing proviso, but any increase to the All-In Yield of the Initial Term B Loans required by the foregoing proviso as a result of the differential in the interest rate floors may be effected by an increase in the interest rate floor of the Initial Term B Loans rather than an increase in the Applicable Margin;

-78-

(f) the Incremental Term B Loans shall not have any terms which require them to be voluntarily or mandatorily prepaid prior to the repayment in full of the Term Loans (including other Incremental Term B Loans), unless accompanied by at least a ratable payment of the Term Loans;

(g) the amount of any Incremental Term B Loans shall not be less than $10,000,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and

2.11.5 Notes.

The Borrower shall execute and deliver (1) to each Current Lender with a Revolving Commitment Increase that requests a Revolving Credit Note a replacement Revolving Credit Note reflecting the new amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to its Revolving Commitment Increase (and the prior Note issued to such Lender shall be deemed to be canceled and shall be returned to the Borrower as soon as practicable), (2) to each new Revolving Lender with an Revolving Commitment Increase that requests a Revolving Credit Note, a Revolving Credit Note reflecting the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (3) to each Term B Lender that requests a note evidencing its Incremental Term B Loans, a note reflecting the amount of such Term B Lender’s Incremental Term B Loans.

2.11.6 Approval of Incremental Lenders.

Each Incremental Lender shall be subject to the consents specified in Section 11.8.2(c) [Required Consents] as if the Incremental Facility were an assignment.

2.11.7 Documentation.

Each Incremental Facility shall be documented by an Additional Credit Extension Amendment executed by the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Facility (and the other Persons specified in the definition of “Additional Credit Extension Amendment” but no other existing Lender), and the Additional Credit Extension Amendment may provide for such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of each applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.11. This Section 2.11 shall supersede any provisions in Section 5.2 [Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders], Section 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] or Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] to the contrary (but shall be in addition to and not in lieu of the first proviso of Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers]).

-79-

2.11.9 Treatment of Outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit.

(i) Repayment of Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans; Borrowing of New Revolving Credit Loans. On the effective date of each Revolving Commitment Increase, the Borrower shall (x) repay the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding to each of the Current Lenders to the extent necessary so that after giving effect to the Revolving Commitment Increases each Current Lender that is a Revolving Lender will have its Ratable Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, subject to the Borrower’s indemnity obligations under Section 5.10 [Indemnity] and (y) borrow Revolving Credit Loans from Incremental Lenders to the extent necessary so that after giving effect to the Revolving Commitment Increases, each such Revolving Lender will have its Ratable Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans. To facilitate the foregoing, the Borrower may, subject to its compliance with the other terms of this Agreement, borrow new Revolving Credit Loans on the effective date of such increase. The Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to update Schedule 1.1(B) to reflect the increase in Revolving Credit Commitments.

(ii) Outstanding Letters of Credit; Repayment of Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans; Borrowing of New Revolving Credit Loans. On the effective date of each Revolving Commitment Increase, (a) each Current Lender that is a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have sold its existing participation in each then outstanding Letter of Credit and purchased a participation in each then outstanding Letter of Credit equal to its Ratable Share of such Letters of Credit, and (b) each Incremental Lender will be deemed to have purchased a participation in each then outstanding Letter of Credit equal to its Ratable Share of such Letter of Credit. All fees shall accrue and be paid on the Letters of Credit based upon each Revolving Xxxxxx’s participation therein over the relevant period of time. To the extent necessary to enable each of the Current Lenders and the Incremental Lenders to own a Ratable Share of the Participation Advances after any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments, (a) the Current Lenders that are Revolving Lenders will sell a portion of its Participation Advances, and (b) the Incremental Lenders with commitments to make Revolving Commitment Increases will acquire Participation Advances (and will pay to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, for the account of each selling Revolving Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount) equal to its Ratable Share of all outstanding Participation Advances. All fees and interest on Participation Advances shall be allocated based upon each Revolving Xxxxxx’s ownership therein from time to time.

(iii) Making of New Term Loans. On any Incremental Effective Date on which new Term B Loan Increases or Incremental Term B Loan Commitments are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Term B Lender of such new Term B Loan Increases or Incremental Term B Loan Commitments shall make a Term B Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Term B Loan Commitment.

(iv) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Incremental Facilities established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guaranties under the Guaranty Agreement and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Collateral Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such Class of Term Loans or any such new Commitments.

2.12 Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (the Loans of such applicable Class, the “Existing Term Loans”) be converted into a new Class of Term Loans (the Loans of such applicable Class, the “Extended Term Loans”) with terms consistent with this Section 2.12. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the applicable Administrative Agent (a “Term Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted except that:

-80-

(i) the maturity date of the Extended Term Loans shall be later than the maturity date of the Existing Term Loans and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Extended Term Loans shall be longer than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Existing Term Loans;

(ii) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Existing Term Loans;

(iii) (A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and premiums with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than those for the Existing Term Loans and (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Extending Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A);

(iv) the Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment premiums) and mandatory prepayment terms as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Extending Lenders so long as such Extended Term Loans do not participate on a greater than pro rata basis in any such mandatory prepayments as compared to Lenders of existing Term Loans; and

(v) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may be subject to covenants and other terms for the benefit of the Extending Lenders that apply only after the Latest Maturity Date (before giving effect to the Extended Term Loans).

(b) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class (the Commitments of such applicable Class, the “Existing Revolving Credit Commitments”) be converted into a new Class of Revolving Credit Commitments (the Commitments of such applicable Class, the “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”) with terms consistent with this Section 2.12(b). In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent (a “Revolving Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments except that:

(i) the maturity date of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be later than the maturity date of the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments;

(ii) (A) the interest rates, interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discount and premiums with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be different than those for the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Extending Lenders in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding subclause (A) and/or (C) the undrawn revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be different than those for the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments; and

-81-

(iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may be subject to covenants and other terms for the benefit of the Extending Lenders that apply only after the Latest Maturity Date (before giving effect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments).

(c) Each Extension Request shall specify the date (the “Extension Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the conversion of any Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Credit Commitments into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall be effective, which shall be a date reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent. Each Lender of Loans of an Existing Class that are requested to be extended shall be offered the opportunity to convert its Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Credit Commitments into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, on the same basis as each other Lender of Loans or Commitments of the same Existing Class. Any Lender (to the extent applicable, an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Credit Commitments subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the applicable Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Credit Commitments subject to such Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable. In the event that the aggregate portion of the Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Credit Commitments subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the portion of the Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Credit Commitments converted shall be allocated on a pro rata basis based on the amount of the Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election. Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Revolving Credit Commitment into an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, such Extended Revolving Credit Commitment shall be treated identically with all Existing Revolving Credit Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Revolving Lender in respect of Swing Loans under Section 2.10 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans] and Letters of Credit under Section 2.9 [Letters of Credit], except that the applicable Additional Credit Extension Amendment may provide that the maturity date for Swing Loans and/or the Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to make Swing Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued so long as the Swingline Lender and/or the applicable Issuing Lender, as applicable, have consented to such extensions in their sole discretion (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).

(d) An Extended Class shall be established pursuant to an Additional Credit Extension Amendment as described in Section 2.12(f) below. No Additional Credit Extension Amendment shall provide for any Class of (x) Extended Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $10,000,000 or (y) Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $5,000,000. In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.12(a), the Additional Credit Extension Amendment shall amend the scheduled amortization payments with respect to the Existing Term Loans from which the Extended Term Loans were converted to reduce each scheduled principal repayment amounts for the Existing Term Loans in the same proportion as the amount of Existing Term Loans to be converted pursuant to such Additional Credit Extension Amendment.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on the Extension Effective Date, (i) the principal amount of each Existing Term Loan shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the principal amount converted into an Extended Term Loan, (ii) the amount of each

-82-

Existing Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the amount converted into an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment and (iii) if, on any Extension Effective Date, any Revolving Credit Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, such Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be converted into Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) made pursuant to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Existing Revolving Credit Commitments are converted to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.

(f) This Section 2.12 shall supersede any provisions in Section 5.2 [Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders], Section 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] or Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] to the contrary. Each Extended Class shall be documented by an Additional Credit Extension Amendment executed by the Extending Lenders providing such Extended Class (and the other Persons specified in the definition of “Additional Credit Extension Amendment” but no other existing Lender), and the Additional Credit Extension Amendment may provide for such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12.

2.13 Refinancing Term Loans

(i) the proceeds of such Refinancing Term Loans shall be used, concurrently or substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, solely to refinance all or any portion of any outstanding Term Loans of any Class (such refinanced Term Loans, the “Refinanced Term Loans” and such Class, the “Refinanced Term Loan Class”);

(ii) each Class of Refinancing Term Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount necessary to repay the Refinanced Term Loan Class in full);

-83-

(vii) the covenants and other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (excluding those terms described in the clauses (i), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above), which shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Refinancing Term Lenders, shall not be more favorable (when taken as a whole) to the Refinancing Term Lenders than those applicable to Lenders of the Refinanced Term Loan Class, except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date (before giving effect to the Refinancing Term Loans);

(viii) no Person that is a Current Lender prior to the effectiveness of any applicable Additional Credit Extension Amendment with respect to any Refinancing Term Loans shall be obligated to provide any such Refinancing Term Loans, and any commitment of any Current Lender to provide a Refinancing Term Loans shall be in the sole discretion of such Current Lender; and

(ix) the Refinancing Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the existing Loans, on terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the Term Loans being refinanced; provided, however, that such Refinancing Term Loans shall be secured on a pari passu basis with the Initial Term B Loans by the same assets that secure the existing Obligations and shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiaries of Borrower that are not Guarantors.

2.13.2 Each such notice shall specify (x) the date (each, a “Refinancing Term Loan Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans be made, which shall be a date reasonably acceptable to the applicable Administrative Agent and (y) the identity of the Persons (each of which shall be an assignee permitted pursuant to Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders] (for this purpose treating a Lender of Refinancing Term Loans as if it were an assignee)) whom the Borrower proposes would provide the Refinancing Term Loans and the portion of the Refinancing Term Loans to be provided by each such Person. On each Refinancing Term Loan Effective Date, each Person with a commitment for a Refinancing Term Loan (each such Person, a “Refinancing Term Lender”) shall make a Refinancing Term Loan to the Borrower in a principal amount equal to such Person’s Commitment therefor.

2.13.3 This Section 2.13 shall supersede any provisions in Section 5.2 [Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders], Section 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] or Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] to the contrary (but shall be in addition to and not in lieu of the first proviso of Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers]). The Refinancing Term Loans shall be documented by an Additional Credit Extension Amendment executed by the Persons providing the Refinancing Term Loans (and the other Persons specified in the definition of “Additional Credit Extension Amendment” but no other existing Lender), and the Additional Credit Extension Amendment may provide for such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the applicable Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13.

2.14 Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments.

2.14.1 The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, by written notice to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, request the establishment of one or more additional Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments (“Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments”) to replace all or a portion of any existing Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments under this Agreement (“Replaced Revolving Credit Commitments”); provided that:

-86-

(C) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are cash collateralized;

(D) if the Letter of Credit Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Share; and

(E) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Revolving Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Lenders ((ratably among them) and not to such Defaulting Lender) until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Obligations are reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized; and

(iv) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (x) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Lender is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.13(a)(iii)(B), and (y) participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.13(a)(iii)(A) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(b) In the event that the applicable Administrative Agents, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lenders agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Revolving Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the applicable Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and the Ratable Share of the Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Revolving Lender’s Commitment, and on such date such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Revolving Lenders (other than Swing Loans) as the applicable Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Ratable Share.

2.16 Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(a) Discounted Prepayment Offers. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may prepay outstanding Term Loans (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be automatically and permanently canceled immediately upon such prepayment) on the following basis:

-87-

(i) The Borrower shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans at a discount to par (a “Discounted Prepayment”) pursuant to a Discounted Prepayment Offer Solicitation made in accordance with this Section 2.16; provided that the Borrower shall not initiate any action under this Section 2.16 to make a Discounted Prepayment unless (I) at least ten (10) Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Prepayment; or (II) at least three (3) Business Days shall have passed since (x) the Discounted Prepayment Response Date in any Discounted Prepayment Offer Solicitation in which no Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loan at or below the Maximum Prepayment Price or (y) the date of the Borrower’s revocation in full of any Discounted Prepayment in accordance with clause (h) below.

(b) Procedures.

(i) Subject to the proviso to clause (a) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Discounted Prepayment Offers in the form of a Discounted Prepayment Offer Solicitation by providing notice to the applicable Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days (unless a shorter notice period is agreed to by such Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) in advance of the proposed Discounted Prepayment Offer Solicitation; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to (x) each Term Lender and/or (y) each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans subject to a discounted prepayment offer solicitation in accordance with clause (iv) below (the “Target Discounted Prepayment Amount”), the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum prepayment price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of each relevant Class of Term Loans at which the Borrower is willing to prepay such Term Loans (the “Maximum Prepayment Price”) (it being understood that different Maximum Prepayment Prices and Target Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.16), (III) the Target Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $25,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining outstanding amount of such Class of Term Loans) and (IV) subject to clause (h) below, each such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Discounted Prepayment Response Date. Each applicable Administrative Agent will promptly provide each Lender holding the applicable Class of Term Loans with a copy of such Discounted Prepayment Offer Solicitation and a form of the Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Lender to the applicable Administrative Agent no later than the Discounted Prepayment Response Date. Except in the case of any amendment or modification of a Discounted Prepayment Offer Solicitation as set forth in Section 2.16(h) below, each Lender’s Discounted Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify a minimum prepayment price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), which shall be at or below the Maximum Prepayment Price (the “Submitted Prepayment Price”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Class and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Class of such Lender’s Term Loans subject to a discounted prepayment offer in accordance with clause (d) below (the “Submitted Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Prepayment Price. Each Lender may only submit one Discounted Prepayment Offer, but each Discounted Prepayment Offer may contain up to three offers, with each such offer specifying a Submitted Prepayment Price for the applicable Class or Classes of Term Loans and a corresponding Submitted Amount therefor (each such offer, a “Tiered Offer”), only one of which may result in a Qualifying Offer. Any Lender whose Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to make a Discounted Prepayment Offer and to have declined to accept a Discounted Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any prepayment price at or below the Maximum Prepayment Price.

-88-

(ii) The applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly, following a request by the Borrower, advise the Borrower and, in any event, no later than the first Business Day following a Discounted Prepayment Response Date, of all Discounted Prepayment Offers. The applicable Administrative Agent shall review all Discounted Prepayment Offers received at or before the applicable Discounted Prepayment Response Date and shall determine (subject to the approval of the Borrower and subject to the rounding requirements of the applicable Administrative Agent made in its reasonable discretion) the Clearing Prepayment Price and the Class(es) of Term Loans to be prepaid at such Clearing Prepayment Price in accordance with this Section 2.16. As used herein, the “Clearing Prepayment Price” shall be the lowest prepayment price at or below the Maximum Prepayment Price that yields a Discounted Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (x) the Target Discounted Prepayment Amount and (y) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Lender that has submitted a Discounted Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a prepayment price that is at or below the Clearing Prepayment Price with respect to one or more Classes of Term Loans (each, a “Qualifying Offer”) shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to the prepayment of such Class or Classes or Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the following subsection (iii)) at the Clearing Prepayment Price (each such Lender, a “Participating Lender”). If a Participating Lender has submitted a Discounted Prepayment Offer containing Tiered Offers for the applicable Class or Classes of Term Loans at different Submitted Prepayment Prices, only the Tiered Offer with the highest Submitted Prepayment Price that is equal to or less than the Clearing Prepayment Price will be deemed to be the Discounted Prepayment Offer of such Participating Lender.

(iii) Subject to clause (h) below, if there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower will prepay the Submitted Amount of the applicable Class(es) of each Participating Lender at the Clearing Prepayment Price for such Class(es); provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a prepayment price at or below the Clearing Prepayment Price exceeds the Target Discounted Prepayment Amount for the applicable Class(es), prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Class(es) of Term Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Prepayment Price is equal to the Clearing Prepayment Price (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender for such Class, and the applicable Administrative Agent (subject to the approval of the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the applicable Administrative Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discounted Prepayment Proration”). Unless a Discounted Prepayment Offer Solicitation is withdrawn in accordance with clause (h) below, promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discounted Prepayment Response Date, (I) the Borrower shall notify the applicable Administrative Agent of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, (II) such Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Clearing Prepayment Price for each Class of Term Loans, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Prepayment and each Class of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Clearing Prepayment Price on such date (the “Clearing Prepayment Price Notice”), and (III) such Administrative Agent shall notify each Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount of each Class of Term Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Clearing Prepayment Price on such date. Each determination by the Borrower of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Lenders shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with clause (d) below (subject to clause (h) below).

(c) In connection with any Discounted Prepayment, the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the applicable Administrative Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Prepayment, the payment of customary reasonable, documented fees and expenses from the Borrower in connection therewith.

-89-

(d) The Borrower shall make each Discounted Prepayment to the applicable Administrative Agent, for the account of the Participating Lenders, at such Administrative Agent’s office in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis across such installments. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The aggregate principal amount of the Classes and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Classes of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Prepayment.

(e) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this Section 2.16, established by the Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.16, each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the applicable Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have been given upon such Administrative Agent’s actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Discounted Prepayment Offer Solicitation; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(g) The Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the applicable Administrative Agent may (x) perform any and all of its duties under this Section 2.16 by itself or through any sub-agent or (y) decline to perform any or all duties under this Section 2.16, in which case under this clause (y) the Borrower may appoint any other financial institution or advisor (that is not the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) to act as an arranger in connection with any Discounted Prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.16. References to “Administrative Agent” in this Section 2.16 shall be deemed (i) in the case of clause (x) above, to include any sub-agent and (ii) in the case of clause (y) above, to be such other financial institution or advisor appointed pursuant to this clause (g), and, in either case, the Borrower and the Lenders expressly consent to the performance of such duties by such sub-agent or other financial institution or advisor, as applicable. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Section 2.16, Section 10 [The Agents] of this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall apply to each such appointed sub-agent or other financial institution or advisor and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.16 as well as the activities of the applicable Administrative Agent. Each Lender submitting any Discounted Prepayment Offer acknowledges and agrees for itself and on behalf of its assignees and Participants that in connection with each Discounted Prepayment, such Lender has independently and, without reliance on any other Related Party of such Lender, has made and will continue to make its own analysis and determination to participate in each Discounted Prepayment and based on documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time.

(h) The Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to each applicable Administrative Agent, to (x) amend or modify any Discounted Prepayment Offer Solicitation at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Discounted Prepayment Response Date pursuant to procedures established by the Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to such Administrative Agent or (y) revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Prepayment and rescind the Discounted Prepayment Offer Solicitation therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to delivery of the applicable Clearing Prepayment Price Notice (and if such offer is so revoked, any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment to a Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not constitute a Potential Default or Event of Default).

-90-

(i) The Borrower may not use the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Loans to fund any Discounted Prepayment.

4. INTEREST RATES

4.1 Interest Rate Options.

The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or LIBOR Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that (i) there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than ten (10) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans and (ii) if an Event of Default or Potential Default exists and is continuing, the Borrower may not request, convert to, or renew the LIBOR Rate Option for any Loans and the Required Class Lenders of any Class may demand that all existing Borrowing Tranches of such Class bearing interest under the LIBOR Rate Option shall be converted immediately to the Base Rate Option, subject to the obligation of the Borrower to pay any indemnity under Section 5.10 [Indemnity] in connection with such conversion. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate.

4.1.1 Interest Rate Options; Swing Line Interest Rate.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Loans:

(i) Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or

(ii) LIBOR Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the LIBOR Rate as determined for each applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Subject to Section 4.3 [Interest After Default], only the Base Rate Option applicable to Revolving Credit Loans shall apply to Swing Loans.

4.1.2 Rate Quotations.

The Borrower may call the applicable Administrative Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the applicable Administrative Agent or the applicable Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.

4.2 Interest Periods.

At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a LIBOR Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the applicable Administrative Agent thereof at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such LIBOR Rate Option by delivering a Loan Request. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a LIBOR Rate Option:

-92-

(a) each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the LIBOR Rate Option shall be in integral multiples and not less than the respective amounts set forth in Section 2.5.1 [Loan Requests] for Borrowings;

(b) in the case of the renewal of a LIBOR Rate Option at the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day; and

(c) Section 4.5 [Selection of Interest Rate Options] shall apply to any Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option as to which an interest election has not been made prior to the deadline for delivery of a notice set forth above.

4.3 Interest After Default.

To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, and upon written demand by the Required Lenders:

(a) the Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] or Section 4.1 [Interest Rate Options], respectively, shall be increased by 2.0% per annum; and

(b) each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable under the Base Rate Option with respect to Revolving Credit Loans plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full.

The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 4.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by the Borrower upon demand by the applicable Administrative Agent.

4.4 LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.

4.4.1 Unascertainable.

If on any date on which a LIBOR Rate would otherwise be determined with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of any Class, the applicable Administrative Agent shall have determined that:

(a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such LIBOR Rate, or

(b) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the Relevant Interbank Market relating to the LIBOR Rate,

such Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Xxxxxx’s Rights].

-93-

4.4.2 Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.

If at any time any Lender shall have determined that:

(a) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or

(b) such LIBOR Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan, or

(c) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally, to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market,

then the applicable Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Xxxxxx’s Rights].

4.4.3 Administrative Agent’s and Xxxxxx’s Rights.

In the case of any event specified in Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] above, the applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the applicable Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] above, the applicable Lender shall promptly so notify the applicable Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other applicable Lenders and the Borrower. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (A) the Revolving Lenders and the Term A Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, (B) the Term B Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the TLB Administrative Agent, or (C) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a LIBOR Rate Option shall be suspended until the applicable Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the applicable Administrative Agent, of the applicable Administrative Agent’s or such Xxxxxx’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time any Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] and the Borrower has previously notified the applicable Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a LIBOR Rate Option and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans. If any Lender notifies the applicable Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 4.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 5.10 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of such Lender to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date.

-94-

4.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options.

If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the LIBOR Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.

5. PAYMENTS

5.1 Payments.

All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, each Administrative Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. All payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all such payments shall be made (a) to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent at its Principal Office for the account of the Swingline Lender with respect to the Swing Loans and for the ratable accounts of the applicable Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans or Term A Loans and (b) to the TLB Administrative Agent at its Principal Office for the ratable accounts of the applicable Lenders with respect to the Term B Loans, and the applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the appropriate Lenders in immediately available funds; provided that in the event payments are received by 1:00 p.m. by the applicable Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the applicable Lenders on the same day received by the applicable Administrative Agent, the applicable Administrative Agent shall pay the appropriate Lenders interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the applicable Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The applicable Administrative Agent’s and each applicable Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement and shall be deemed an “account stated.”

5.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders.

Each Borrowing Tranche shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees (except for each Administrative Agent’s Fee and the fees payable to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees]) or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Revolving Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Loans, shall (except as otherwise may be provided with respect to a Defaulting Lender and except as provided in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Xxxxxx’s Rights] in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] or Section 5.8 [Increased Costs]) be payable ratably among the Lenders of the applicable Class entitled to such payment in accordance with the amount of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, and other fees or amounts then due to such Lender as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees or other amounts from the Borrower with respect to Swing Loans shall be made by or to the Swingline Lender according to Section 2.10 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans].

-95-

5.3 Sharing of Payments by Xxxxxxx.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Xxxxxx’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than the pro rata share of the amount such Lender is entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify each 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, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents (including Section 2.16 [Discounted Prepayment Offers]) 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 Participation Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall apply).

Each Loan Party 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 each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

5.4 Presumptions by Administrative Agents.

Unless an Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to such Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or, in the case of the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, such 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 applicable Lenders or, in the case of the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, 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 applicable Lenders or, in the case of the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or, in the case of the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to such Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

-96-

5.5 Interest Payment Dates.

Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date. Interest on Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, also on each date that falls every three (3) Months after the beginning of such Interest Period. Mandatory prepayments of Term Loans under Section 5.7 [Mandatory Prepayments] shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal prepaid. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise).

5.6 Voluntary Prepayments.

5.6.1 Right to Prepay.

So long as the Borrower has repaid any unreimbursed LC Disbursements, the Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] below, in Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], Section 5.10 [Indemnity] or Section 5.6.4 [Prepayment Premium]). Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall provide a prepayment notice to the applicable Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies or no later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of prepayment of Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, setting forth the following information:

(a) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made;

(b) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment among the Classes of Loans;

(c) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies and Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies; and

(d) the total principal amount of such prepayment; provided that any partial prepayment of the Loans of any Class shall be in an amount not less than (i) with respect to Swing Loans, $100,000 and (ii) in the case of Loans of any other Class, $5,000,000.

Each such prepayment notice shall be accompanied by and shall be accompanied by a certificate of the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller of the Borrower as to the estimated Applicable Prepayment Premium due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation.

All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable, except that any notice of voluntary prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon the consummation of a financing transaction, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked or delayed by the Borrower (by notice to the applicable Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. All Term Loan prepayments permitted pursuant to this Section 5.6.1 [Right to Prepay] shall be applied to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments of each

-97-

Class as directed in writing by the Borrower to the applicable Administrative Agent (or if no such direction, ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments of such Class). Except as provided in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Xxxxxx’s Rights], if the Borrower prepays a Loan under this Section 5.6.1 but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied (i) first to Swing Loans, second to Revolving Credit Loans and third to Term Loans; and (ii) after giving effect to the allocations in clause (i) above and in the preceding two sentences, first to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 5.10 [Indemnity].

5.6.2 Replacement of a Lender.

In the event any Lender (a) gives notice under Section 4.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], (b) requests compensation under Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], (c) is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) is a Non-Consenting Lender referred to in Section 11.1.4 [Non-Consenting Lenders], then in any such event the Borrower may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the applicable Administrative Agent, either:

(a) prepay the Loans and Participation Advances of such Xxxxxx in whole, together with all interest accrued thereon and any accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]), and terminate such Xxxxxx’s Commitment; or

(b) at its sole expense, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all of its interests, rights (other than existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] or 5.9 [Taxes]) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the applicable Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns];

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Participation Advances, accrued interest thereon, the Applicable Prepayment Premium that would be due pursuant to Section 5.6.4 [Prepayment Premium] if the Initial Term B Loans being assigned were being prepaid as if they were being prepaid (if such assignment was required to be made by a Term B Lender of its Initial Term B Loans due to its refusal to consent to an amendment or waiver of Section 5.6.4 [Prepayment Premium]), accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of the prepayment premium and all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

-98-

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.

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. Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrower elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender], it shall promptly execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to evidence the assignment and shall deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to such Assignment and Assumption Agreement; provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall not render such assignment invalid, and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register if all other requirements of such assignments have been satisfied.

5.6.3 Designation of a Different Lending Office.

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], or the Borrower is or will be required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], 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 reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] or Section 5.9 [Taxes], as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially 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.

5.6.4 Prepayment Premium.

In the event that, on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower prepays pursuant to Section 5.6.1 [Right to Prepay] or prepays or refinances any Initial Term B Loans pursuant to Section 5.7.3 [Issuance of Debt], the Borrower shall pay to the TLB Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the Term B Lenders holding Initial Term B Loans, (i) the Make-Whole Premium on the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term B Loans so prepaid or refinanced on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) a premium of 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term B Loans so prepaid or refinanced after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) a premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term B Loans so prepaid or refinanced after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date. The amounts paid pursuant to the preceding sentence are referred to herein as the “Applicable Prepayment Premium.” All such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of the relevant prepayment pursuant to Section 5.6.1 [Right to Prepay] or Section 5.7.3 [Issuance of Debt]. For the avoidance of doubt, no prepayment premium shall be payable hereunder in connection with any prepayment or refinancing of Initial Term B Loans after the third anniversary of the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.6.4, any purchase of an Initial Term B Loan pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Intercreditor Agreement shall, for purposes of this Section 5.6.4, be deemed to be a prepayment of such Initial Term B Loan pursuant to Section 5.6.1 hereof made at the time of such purchase.

5.7 Mandatory Prepayments.

5.7.1 Revolving Credit Commitments.

If at any time the Revolving Facility Usage is in excess of the Revolving Credit Commitments (as used in this Section 5.7.1, a “deficiency”), the Borrower shall immediately make a principal payment on the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans sufficient to cause the principal balance of such Loans then outstanding to be equal to or less than the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. If a deficiency cannot be eliminated pursuant to this Section 5.7.1 by prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans as a result of outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, the Borrower shall also deposit cash collateral with the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, to be held by the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent to secure such outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations.

5.7.2 Dispositions.

(a) In the event of any Disposition pursuant to Section 8.2.7(l) [Dispositions] or any Casualty Event, the Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days following the receipt by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to the prepayment of Term Loans; provided that (i) with respect to any such Net Cash Proceeds, at the election of the Borrower (as notified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agents within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or such later time (but not later than ten (10) Business Days following such receipt) as the Administrative Agents may agree in their sole discretion)), the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or if committed to be reinvested within such 12-month period, actually reinvested no later than six (6) months following such commitment) in assets (other than current assets (except for current assets acquired as part of a business)) to be used in the business of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided further that if any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds are not so used prior to the expiration of such 12-month period, such portion shall thereupon (or if such Net Cash Proceeds are contractually committed to be used during such 12-month period, then upon the termination of such contract or if such Net Cash Proceeds are not so used within six (6) months following entry into such commitment) be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 5.7.2(a) and (ii) the requirements of this Section 5.7.2 [Dispositions] shall not apply with respect to an aggregate of $5,000,000 of Net Cash Proceeds from Dispositions pursuant to Section 8.2.7(l) and Casualty Events occurring in the same fiscal year.

(b) In the event of any Permitted Undivided Interests Sale, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following the receipt by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom prepay Term Loans and reduce Revolving Credit Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

5.7.3 Issuance of Debt.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.7.3(b) below, within one Business Day following the incurrence of any Indebtedness for borrowed money by the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (except for the incurrence of Indebtedness permitted under Section 8.2.1 [Indebtedness]), the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Indebtedness toward the prepayment of Term Loans.

(b) Concurrently with the incurrence of any Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay the Refinanced Term Loan Class or the Revolving Credit Loans made under the Replaced Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable.

-100-

5.7.4 Excess Cash Flow.

In the event that there shall be Excess Cash Flow for any Excess Cash Flow Period, the Borrower shall, no later than ten (10) Business Days after annual financial statements are required to be furnished pursuant to Section 8.3.2 [Annual Financial Statements] for such Excess Cash Flow Period, prepay the Term B Loans as set forth in Section 5.7.6 [Application of Payments; Application Among Interest Rate Options] in an aggregate amount equal to (i) the Applicable ECF Percentage applicable to such Excess Cash Flow multiplied by Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period minus (ii) voluntary prepayments (other than from proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than revolving Indebtedness)) of Term B Loans pursuant to Section 5.6.1 [Right to Prepay] made during such Excess Cash Flow Period that are applied to amortization payments of the Term B Loans under Section 3.2 [Scheduled Amortization of Term B Loans] in any period after the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period.

5.7.5 Refinancing of Affiliated Company Loan Facility.

In the event that the Affiliated Company Loan Facility is refinanced or replaced in accordance with Section 3.8(a)(y)(iv) of the Operating Agreement, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day of the consummation of such refinancing, prepay Term Loans and reduce Revolving Credit Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the Affiliated Company Loan Facility immediately prior to such refinancing.

5.7.6 Application of Payments; Application Among Interest Rate Options.

All prepayments required pursuant to Section 5.7.2(a) [Dispositions] and 5.7.3(a) [Issuance of Debt] shall be applied ratably to all outstanding Term Loans. All prepayments and reductions required pursuant to Section 5.7.2(b) [Dispositions] and Section 5.7.5 [Refinancing of Affiliated Company Loan Facility] shall be applied to Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments on a ratable basis among them, based on the principal amount of Term Loans outstanding and the amount of Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding. Prepayments of Term Loans under Section 5.7.4 [Excess Cash Flow] shall be applied only to Term B Loans. Within each Class of Term Loans, prepayments of Term Loans under this Section 5.7 shall be applied to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments with respect to such Class on a pro rata basis among such Principal Amortization Payments until the Term Loans of such Class have been paid in full. All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Loans subject to a LIBOR Rate Option. In accordance with Section 5.10 [Indemnity], the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Loans subject to a LIBOR Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

5.8 Increased Costs.

5.8.1 Increased Costs Generally.

If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Lender;

-101-

(b) subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option made by it, or its other obligations, deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or change the basis of Taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes and any Excluded Taxes); or

(c) impose on any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Relevant Interbank Market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option 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 Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such 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 Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Recipient such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

5.8.2 Capital Requirements.

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

5.8.3 Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans.

A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or Section 5.8.2 [Capital Requirements] and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

5.8.4 Delay in Requests.

Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 5.8 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered

-102-

more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’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 nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

5.9 Taxes.

5.9.1 Payments Free of Taxes.

All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that if any Loan Party or any other applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.9) each Lender (or, in the case of a payment made to any Administrative Agent for its own account, such Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made (provided that, if the applicable withholding agent in respect of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax is a Person other than a Loan Party or an Administrative Agent (e.g., a Lender), the additional amounts required to be paid by a Loan Party under this clause (i) in respect of such Tax shall not be greater than the additional amounts such Loan Party would have been obligated to pay had such Loan Party made payment of such sum directly to the applicable beneficial owner of such payment, provided further, that such Tax would not have been an Excluded Tax had such beneficial owner been a Lender hereunder and had complied with Section 5.9.5 [Status of Lenders]), (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law.

5.9.2 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.

Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.9.1 [Payments Free of Taxes] above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law.

The Borrower shall indemnify each Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (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 5.9) paid by such Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent), or by any Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

5.9.4 Evidence of Payments.

As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes by the Borrower to an Official Body, the Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent.

-103-

5.9.5 Status of Lenders.

(a) Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or any Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any such documentation (including any specific documentation required below in this Section 5.9.5) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or any Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or any Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or any Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or such Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Revolving Lender and Term A Lender hereby authorizes the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent and each Term Lender hereby authorizes the TLB Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent with respect to the applicable Class of Lenders any documentation provided to such Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.9.5.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent 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 request of the Borrower or the applicable Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

-104-

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 5.9.5 [Status of Lenders] if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)), or

(E) two (2) duly completed valid originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(ii) Each Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in section 7701 of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the applicable 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 request of the Borrower or the applicable Administrative Agent) two (2) originals of an IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the applicable 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 applicable Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent to comply with their FATCA obligations, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Xxxxxx’s FATCA obligations and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.9.5, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

5.9.6 Refunds.

If any Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.9, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 5.9 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) of such Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of such Administrative Agent or such Lender, shall repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties,

-105-

interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) to such Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event such Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. This Section 5.9 shall not be construed to require any Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

5.9.7 Definition of Lender.

For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 5.9, include any Issuing Lender and any Swingline Lender.

5.9.8 Administrative Agent Forms.

Each Administrative Agent (and any assignee or successor) will deliver, to the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement, either (i) (A) two (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to such Administrative Agent for its own account and (B) two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (certifying that it is either a “qualified intermediary” or a “U.S. branch” that agrees to be treated as a United States person with respect to payments made to and on behalf of the Lenders) for the amounts such Administrative Agent receives for the account of others, or (ii) two (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-9, whichever is applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.9.8, no Administrative Agent shall be required to deliver any documentation that such Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of any Change in Law after the date hereof.

5.10 Indemnity.

In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] or Section 5.9 [Taxes], the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against all liabilities, losses, claims, damages or expenses (including loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract) which such Xxxxxx sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:

(a) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due),

(b) attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.5 [Loan Requests] or Section 4.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments],

(c) default by the Borrower in the performance or observance of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any failure of the Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, Commitment Fee or any other amount due hereunder, or

(d) the assignment of any Loans under the LIBOR Rate Option other than on the last day of the Interest Period as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender]; provided, however, that with respect to this clause (d), the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Defaulting Lender whose Loans are being replaced as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender].

-106-

If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination.

5.11 Settlement Date Procedures.

In order to minimize the transfer of funds between the Revolving Lenders and the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Loans and the Swingline Lender may make Swing Loans as provided in Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loans] hereof during the period between Settlement Dates. The Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of its Ratable Share of the total of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Loans (each a “Required Share”). On such Settlement Date, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent the amount equal to the difference between its Required Share and its Revolving Credit Loans, and the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent shall pay to each Revolving Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrower to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans. The Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent shall also effect settlement in accordance with the foregoing sentence on the proposed Borrowing Dates for Revolving Credit Loans and on dates on which mandatory prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans are due under Section 5.7 [Mandatory Prepayments] and may at its option effect settlement on any other Business Day. These settlement procedures are established solely as a matter of administrative convenience, and nothing contained in this Section 5.11 shall relieve the Revolving Lenders of their obligations to fund Revolving Credit Loans on dates other than a Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loans]. The Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent may at any time at its option for any reason whatsoever require each Revolving Lender to pay immediately to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent such Revolving Lender’s Ratable Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and each Revolving Lender may at any time require the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent to pay immediately to such Revolving Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrower to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.

(n) are restrictions imposed by any agreement relating to Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 8.2.1 [Indebtedness] or Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, to the extent such restrictions are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the restrictions contained in the Loan Documents as determined by the Borrower in good faith and do not restrict Liens on the Collateral to secure the Obligations;

9.2.3 Set-off.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any Secured Party to whom any Obligation is owed by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any participant of any Lender which has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] and any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Secured Party anywhere in the world shall have the right (to the extent permitted by applicable Law), in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, without notice to such Loan Party, to set-off against and apply to the then unpaid balance of all the Loans and all other Obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document any debt owing to, and any other funds held in any manner for the account of, the Borrower or such other Loan Party by such Secured Party or participant or by such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate, including all funds in all deposit accounts (whether time or demand, general or special, provisionally credited or finally credited, or otherwise) now or hereafter maintained by the Borrower or such other Loan Party for its own account (but not including funds held in custodian or trust accounts or funds not otherwise beneficially owned by the Borrower or such other Loan Party) with such Secured Party or participant or such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate; 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 applicable Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 [Defaulting Lenders] and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the applicable Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the applicable Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

9.2.4 Applicable Prepayment Premium.

If the Obligations are accelerated for any reason, including because of default, sale, transfer or encumbrance (including that by operation of law or otherwise), the Applicable Prepayment Premium and any unamortized discount on the Loans will also be due and payable as though said indebtedness was voluntarily prepaid and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Xxxxxx’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Applicable Prepayment Premium and unamortized discount on the Loans payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Applicable Prepayment Premium and any unamortized discount on the Loans shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement or the Notes evidencing the Obligations) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW WHICH PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING APPLICABLE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM AND ANY UNAMORTIZED DISCOUNT ON THE LOANS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower expressly agrees that: (A) the Applicable Prepayment Premium and any discount on the Loans provided for herein is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Applicable Prepayment Premium and any unamortized discount on the Loans shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Prepayment Premium and any unamortized discount on the Loans; and (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Applicable Prepayment Premium and any unamortized discount on the Loans to Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to make the Term Loans and enter into the Documents.

9.2.5 Application of Proceeds.

From and after the date on which any Administrative Agent has taken any action pursuant to this Section 9.2 [Consequences of Event of Default] and until all Obligations of the Loan Parties have been Paid in Full, any and all proceeds received by any Agent from any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, or the exercise of any other remedy by any Agent, shall be applied as follows:

(f) Sixth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, ratably among the Lenders entitled thereto; and

(g) Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly Paid in Full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) amounts received from the Borrower or any Guarantor that is not a Qualified ECP Loan Party shall not be applied to the Obligations that are Excluded Swap Obligations (it being understood, that in the event that any amount is applied to Obligations other than Excluded Swap Obligations as a result of this clause (a), the Administrative Agents shall make such adjustments as they determine are appropriate to distributions pursuant to clause Fifth above from amounts received from a

-157-

Qualified ECP Loan Party to ensure, as nearly as possible, that the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to Obligations described in clause Fifth above by the holders of any Excluded Swap Obligations are the same as the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to other Obligations pursuant to clause Fifth above) and (b) Obligations arising under Specified Swap Agreements and Other Lender Provided Financial Service Products shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agents have not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agents may request, from the counterparty to such Specified Swap Agreement or Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product, as the case may be.

If no such successor to the applicable retiring Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Class Lenders of each applicable Class (or in the case of a resignation by the Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders) and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then such retiring Agent may on behalf of the applicable Lenders and, if the retiring Agent is the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if such retiring Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that, in the case of a resignation by the Collateral Agent, in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Lender 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 (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such retiring Agent shall instead be made by or to each applicable Lender and, if the retiring Agent is the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Class Lenders of each applicable Class with respect to such retiring Agent appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 10.6. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 10.6). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10.6 and Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

If PNC resigns as Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent under this Section 10.6, PNC shall also resign as Swingline Xxxxxx and as an Issuing Xxxxxx. If PNC resigns as an Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Lender with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it that remain outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Participation Advances pursuant to Section 2.9.3 [Participations, Disbursements, Reimbursement]. If PNC resigns as Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall repay any outstanding Swing Loans on or prior to the effective date of such resignation and, to the extent any Swing Loans remain outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Swingline Lender, PNC shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of a Swingline Lender with respect to such Swing Loans, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.10 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans]. Upon the appointment of a successor Xxxxxxxxx/TLA Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall (i) succeed to all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of PNC as a retiring Swingline Lender and Issuing

-161-

Xxxxxx, Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and PNC shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations as Swingline Lender and Issuing Lender, Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents and (ii) issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by PNC, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to PNC to effectively assume the obligations of PNC with respect to such Letters of Credit.

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, in consultation with the Borrower, 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.

10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agents and Other Lenders.

Each Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any 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 the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any 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.

10.8 No Other Duties, Etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the “Joint Lead Arrangers,” “Joint Bookrunners,” “Bookrunners,” “Revolving/TLA Syndication Agent” or “TLB Syndication Agent” listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Co-Documentation Agent, the Swingline Lender, a Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder.

10.9 Administrative Agent’s Fee.

The Borrower shall pay to each Administrative Agent a nonrefundable fee (the “Administrative Agent’s Fee”) under the terms of a letter (each, an “Administrative Agent’s Letter”) between the Borrower and such Administrative Agent, as amended from time to time.

10.10 Authorization to Release Collateral and Guarantors.

Each Secured Party expressly agrees that, upon the written request of the Borrower (accompanied by such certificates and other documentation as the applicable Agent may reasonably request), the applicable Agent shall, so long as no Event of Default exists after giving effect thereto:

(a) in the case of the Administrative Agents, execute a release in a form reasonably satisfactory to it of any Person from the Guaranty Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower or if such Person is or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, in either case, pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents; and

-162-

(b) in the case of the Collateral Agent, (i) execute any document in a form reasonably satisfactory to it, evidencing the release of any asset from the Lien of the Security Document upon the Disposition (other than any lease) of such asset permitted by the Loan Documents (other than a Disposition to a Loan Party), (ii) enter into any subordination agreement, non-disturbance agreement or grant of an option with respect to assets, in each case, in a form reasonably satisfactory to it, in connection with any easements, permits, licenses, rights of way, options, surface leases or other surface rights or interests permitted by the Loan Documents to be granted or a Disposition permitted by the Loan Documents and (iii) enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and a Receivables Related Standstill Agreement.

Each Secured Party agrees to be bound by the Intercreditor Agreement and the Receivables Related Standstill Agreement.

The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agents or the Collateral Agent such certificates and other documentation as such Agent(s) may reasonably request to evidence compliance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents.

10.11 No Reliance on Administrative Agents’ Customer Identification Programs.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agents to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

10.12 Withholding Tax.

To the extent required by any applicable Law (as determined in good faith by the applicable Administrative Agent), the applicable Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 5.9 [Taxes], each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the applicable Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, all Taxes and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the applicable Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against such Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Official Body as a result of the failure of such Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify such Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the applicable Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the applicable Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due such Administrative Agent under this Section 10.12 [Withholding Tax]. The agreements in this Section 10.12 [Withholding Tax] shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the applicable Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 10.12 [Withholding Tax], include any Issuing Lender and any Swingline Lender.

11.3.4 Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.

No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained 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, except to the extent such damages are found to be a final, non-appealable judgment of a court to arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, nor shall any Indemnitee, Loan Party or any Subsidiary have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); it being agreed that this sentence shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Loan Parties pursuant to Section 11.3.2 [Indemnification by the Borrower].

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Person after the applicable Trade Date, such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from being a Lender.

(g) Each assignment of the Revolving Credit Commitments by any Revolving Lender pursuant to this Section 11.8.2 shall automatically constitute and be deemed an assignment of its Letter of Credit Issuing Lender Sublimit to the assignee with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitments. If an Issuing Lender (or its Affiliated that is the Revolving Lender) assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitments, such Issuing Lender shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Lender with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it that remain outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Participation Advances pursuant to Section 2.9.3 [Participations, Disbursements, Reimbursement], but shall not have any obligation to renew, extend, amend or increase any such Letter of Credit or issue any other Letter of Credit.

(h) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.8.3 [Register], from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, 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 Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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 Section 4.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], and Section 11.3 [Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver] with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.8.2 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 Section 11.8.4 [Participations].

11.8.3 Register.

Each Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the applicable Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans owing to, each applicable Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Agents and any Lender (in the case of such Lender, as to such Xxxxxx’s own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

11.8.4 Participations.

Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agents, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or, solely to the extent provided in and subject to Section 11.8.2(f) [No Assignment to Disqualified Person], any Disqualified Person) (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 hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

-175-

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 with respect to any of clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of Section 11.1.1 [Required Consents]. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], Section 5.7 [Increased Costs] and Section 5.9 [Taxes] (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections and Sections 5.6.3 [Designation of a Different Lending Office] and 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender], and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.9.5 [Status of Lenders] shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Xxxxxxx]; provided that such Participant (A) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] and Section 5.6.3 [Designation of a Different Lending Office] as if it were an assignee under Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders]; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] or 5.9 [Taxes], 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 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] and Section 5.6.3 [Designation of Different Lending Office] with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.2.3 [Set-off] as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by Xxxxxxx] as though it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells participations to a Participant, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register of all such Participants on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary; provided that no Lender shall have the obligation to disclose all or a portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of the Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that any loans are in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, each Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

11.8.5 Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally.

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; 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.

-176-

Each of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Xxxxxxx agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.9, to (a) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (it being understood that any such prospective assignee or Participant may be provided the list of Disqualified Persons) or (b) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Agreement or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower, (viii) to the extent such Information (a) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.9 or (b) becomes available to any Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, the other Loan Parties or any other Person that has obtained such confidential information pursuant to this Section 11.9 or (ix) on a confidential basis to (a) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder, (b) information regarding the credit facilities provided hereunder to (x) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder or (y) market data collectors and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration, settlement and management of this Agreement and the credit facilities provided hereunder. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.9 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

11.9.2 Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Lenders.

SCHEDULE 1.1(A)

REVOLVING/TLA FACILITIES PRICING GRID


		Applicable Margin
Level	Total Net Leverage Ratio	LIBOR Loans			Base Rate Loans
I	< 1.00:1.00		3.75	%		2.75	%
II	³ 1.00:1.00 and < 1.50:1.00		4.00	%		3.00	%
III	³ 1.50:1.00 and < 2.00:1.00		4.25	%		3.25	%
IV	³ 2.00:1.00		4.50	%		3.50	%

For purposes of determining the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate:

(a) From the Closing Date through the date on which the Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered hereunder in respect of the period ending March 31, 2018 (the “Initial Period”), the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall be the respective amounts set forth under Level IV of this Schedule 1.1(A) set forth above.

(b) It is expressly agreed that after the Initial Period, the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall be determined based upon Schedule 1.1(A) above and change on each date on which a Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered hereunder.

(c) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Total Net Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders, promptly on demand by the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or Issuing Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Revolving/TLA Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.9 [Letters of Credit] or Section 4.3 [Interest After Default] or Section 9 [Default]. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
