For the avoidance of doubt, if Holdings has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets of Holdings or the target Person(s) subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If Holdings has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other Permitted Acquisition or Investment on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket (other than, in the period prior to funding of a Permitted Acquisition or Investment financed with any Incremental Facilities, any basket measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA) shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a). Each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds, in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by such Borrower in the Committed Loan Notice.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. Upon notice to Holdings from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, during the existence of a Default, Loans may not be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that Revolving Credit Loans may be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate and the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

2.03 Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,

(A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon (among other things) the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03,

(1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until 30 days prior to the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day), to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency for the account of each Borrower (but the Letter of Credit may contain a statement that it is being issued for the benefit of a Subsidiary), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and

(2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and

(B) the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of each Borrower or any of its Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiaries on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments;

provided that,

(I) on the Closing Date, the aggregate amount of any Existing Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall share ratably participations in such Letters of Credit in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitment (after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension and expiration of any Letter of Credit on the Closing Date);

(II) that any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of any Restricted Subsidiary (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Existing Letters of Credit) shall be issued naming the Borrower as the account party on any such Letter of Credit, but such Letter of Credit may contain a statement that it is being issued for the benefit of such Restricted Subsidiary;

(III) that no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the L/C Issuer with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit shall not be required, to amend, extent or renew any Existing Letter of Credit), if, as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension,

(w) the amount available to be drawn under Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer would exceed such L/C Issuer’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Sublimit,

(x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment,

(y) the Total Outstandings would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments or

(z) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.

Each request by a Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by a Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly each such Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(ii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

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

(B) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension (or as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer);

(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all of the Lenders have approved such expiry date or the L/C Issuer has approved such expiry date and such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized by the applicant requesting such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(g) at least five Business Days prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date;

(D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer;

(E) except as otherwise agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000;

(F) any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender or reallocate such risk pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(v); or

(G) if it is determined that the applicant or the account party or the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit is considered an “affiliate” of L/C Issuer as such term is defined in Regulation W of the Federal Reserve.

(iii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(iv) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Agents in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agents” as used in Article X included the L/C Issuers with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuers.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of each Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application and including agreed-upon draft language for such Letter of Credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. at least three Business Days (or such later date and time as the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer:

(A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day);

(B) the amount and requested currency thereof and the absence of specification of currency shall be deemed a request for a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars;

(D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof;

(E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder;

(F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and

(G) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require.

In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer

(A) the Letter of Credit to be amended;

(B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day);

(D) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require.

Additionally, the Borrowers shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the applicable Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by such L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If any Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the applicable L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each 12-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 “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such 12-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (or any later date if the Borrowers have agreed to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date for such Letter of Credit); provided, however, that the applicable L/C Issuer (A) shall have no obligation to permit any such extension if such L/C Issuer

has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), and (B) shall not permit any such extension if it has not received notice (in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility have elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of drawing documents under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall examine drawing documents within the period stipulated by the Terms and Conditions of the Letter of Credit. After such examination, the L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date immediately following any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (such date, an “Honor Date”), such Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing for a Letter of Credit issued on its behalf. If such Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) must be in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender (including the Lender acting as the applicable L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to such Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand

(together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by any Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice) and that the obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall survive termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued to such Borrower, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from any Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the applicable L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Credit Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of each Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower and to repay each such L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower.

Any Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of non-compliance with Holdings’ instructions or other irregularity, Holdings will promptly, upon knowledge, notify the applicable L/C Issuer. Holdings shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment); or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against such L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment) or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the applicable L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to 103% of such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be).

For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and Section 9.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and such L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving Credit Lenders) or to otherwise

backstop (with a letter of credit on customary terms or otherwise) such L/C Obligations to the applicable L/C Issuer’s and the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction. Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts with the Collateral Agent. If at any time the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than 103% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by the Collateral Agent, pay to the Collateral Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the deposit accounts with the Collateral Agent as aforesaid, an amount equal to the excess of (a) 103% of such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer.

(h) Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrowers, when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall be stated therein to apply to each Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrowers shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer, for its own account, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit at a rate per annum equal to 0.125% unless as otherwise agreed with such L/C Issuer, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be terminated as provided herein, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within five Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.

(k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(l) Resignation or Removal of L/C Issuers. Any L/C Issuer may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrowers. Any L/C Issuer may be removed at any time by written agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer; provided that such L/C Issuer shall not be required to execute or deliver any written agreement if such L/C Issuer has no Letters of Credit or reimbursement obligations with respect thereto outstanding. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.03(j). After the resignation or removal of any L/C Issuer hereunder, such L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required, and shall be discharged from its obligations, to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend or increase the amount of Letters of Credit then outstanding.

(m) Additional L/C Issuers. The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, designate one or more additional Revolving Credit Lenders to act as an L/C Issuer under the terms of this Agreement with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Revolving Credit Lender. Any Revolving Credit Lender so designated shall be deemed to be an “L/C Issuer” (in addition to being a Revolving Credit Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Revolving Credit Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, the term “L/C Issuer” shall thereafter apply to the other L/C Issuers and such Revolving Credit Lender. The acceptance of any designation as an L/C Issuer hereunder by a Revolving Credit Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such Revolving Credit Lender, in a form satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Credit Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such Revolving Credit Lender in addition to any other L/C Issuers, as the context shall require.

2.04 [Reserved].

2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Optional.

(i) Except as set forth in clause (ii) below with respect to Revolving Credit Loans and New Term Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Tranche or Tranches of Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than as set forth in Section 2.05(a)(iv)); provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (B) one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit H and shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, the Class, Tranche(s) and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid, and if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans

(except that if the class of Loans to be prepaid includes both Base Rate Loans and Eurocurrency Rate Loans, absent direction by the Borrowers, the applicable prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount payable by the Borrowers in respect of such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.05). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such notice and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment, if any. If such notice is given by Holdings, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

(ii) Any Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Credit Loans and New Term Loans or any Tranche or Tranches thereof denominated in a currency other than Dollars in whole or in part without premium or penalty (other than as set forth in Section 2.05(a)(iv)); provided that such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. four Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may approve in its reasonable discretion). Each prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans or New Term Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount that is not less than the Minimum Eurocurrency Borrowing Amount, or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.

(iii) The Borrowers may voluntarily prepay any Tranche of Term Loans selected by Holdings; provided that, other than with respect to any optional prepayment made solely with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 8.02 (including Refinancing Incremental Term Loans), if the Tranche of Term Loans selected by Holdings has a final maturity date that is later than the final maturity date of any other Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding, then such optional prepayment shall be made on a pro rata basis among the Tranche of Term Loans selected by Holdings and each such other earlier-maturing Tranche of Term Loans. Optional prepayments of any Tranche of Term Loans selected by Holdings shall be applied on a pro rata basis in direct order of maturity to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of such Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.07. Optional prepayments of any Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans selected by Holdings shall be made on a pro rata basis among the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Tranche.

(iv) In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, any Borrower (x) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Initial Term Loans in connection with a Repricing Transaction (including, for avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction), or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction with respect to the Initial Term Loans, as applicable, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term Loan Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Initial Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction. As a condition to effectiveness of any replacement of a Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 11.15 in respect of any amendment of this Agreement effective on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the applicable Non-Consenting Lender a premium equal to the premium that would apply if such Non-Consenting Lender’s Initial Term Loans being assigned were being prepaid and subject to the premium set forth in this Section 2.05(a) for such Initial Term Loans.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) In the event of any termination of any Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrowers shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Tranche and replace all outstanding Letters of Credit and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in a cash collateral account established with the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the manner described in Section 2.03(g). If for any reason the Dollar Equivalent of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans of any Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments at any time exceeds the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of Revolving Credit Commitments of such Tranche then in effect, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Tranche and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i) unless, after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans of the applicable Tranche, the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Outstandings exceeds the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. Mandatory prepayments of any Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis among the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Tranche.

(ii) Not later than the fifth Business Day following the completion of any Asset Sale or Permitted Sale Leaseback Transaction and/or not later than the tenth Business Day following the occurrence of any Recovery Event and, in each case, the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds resulting therefrom by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary, Holdings shall apply the Required Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Term Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(vi); provided that such prepayment shall only be required under this clause (ii) if the net amount required to be prepaid in any fiscal year is greater than or equal to $25,000,000.

(iii) In the event that any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, that is not permitted pursuant to Section 8.02, the Borrowers shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, apply an amount equal to the Required Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(vi).

(iv) Commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2020, no later than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of Holdings, the Borrowers shall prepay outstanding Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(vi), in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Required Prepayment Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended less the aggregate amount of all Voluntary Prepayments during such fiscal year; provided that such prepayment shall only be required under this clause (iv) if the net amount required to be prepaid in any fiscal year is greater than or equal to $25,000,000.

(v) Holdings shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.05(b), (i) a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three Business Days prior written notice of

any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) and at least ten Business Days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv) (and, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender). Each notice of prepayment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit H and shall specify the prepayment date, the Class, Tranche and Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be subject to Section 3.05, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty (except for Section 2.05(b)(iii) to the extent set forth in Section 2.05(a)(iv)).

(vi) Mandatory prepayments under Sections 2.05(b)(ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be applied:

first, to prepay outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof) to the full extent thereof (and the corresponding accrued and unpaid interest and fees on the principal amount of Term Loans so prepaid), subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph (vii) below and any re-offer described therein;

second, at any time when there shall be no Term Loans outstanding, to prepay outstanding Revolving Credit Loans on a pro rata basis among the relevant Tranches of Revolving Credit Loans to the full extent thereof (and the corresponding accrued and unpaid interest and fees on the principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans so prepaid), with no corresponding reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments; and

third, at any time when there shall be no Term Loans outstanding, to Cash Collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit (up to an aggregate amount equal to 103% of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all such Letters of Credit) as described in Section 2.03(g), with no corresponding reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments;

with any remaining amounts being retained by the Borrowers to be used in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(vii) Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Term Loans under this Agreement shall be applied pro rata against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.07. Such mandatory prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans; provided that if no Lenders decline a given mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans as described below, then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied in the case of the applicable principal amount of such Tranche of the Term Loans being so prepaid, first to Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Term Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Term Loan Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by facsimile at least eight Business Days prior to the applicable prepayment date, to decline all of any prepayment of its Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay such Term Loans but was so declined shall be retained by the Borrowers (such retained amounts, the “Retained Declined Proceeds”) to be used in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Prepayments to Include Accrued Interest, Etc. All prepayments (other than prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) under this Section 2.05 shall be made together with (i) accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount so prepaid and (ii) in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.

2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Optional. Holdings may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (provided that such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the receipt of proceeds of any refinancing facilities, the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the consummation of an acquisition or sale, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date if such condition is not satisfied), terminate the unused portion of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the unused Revolving Credit Commitments or the unused Term Loan Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused portion of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the unused Revolving Credit Commitments or the unused Term Loan Commitment; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion), (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the unused portion of the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the unused Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings at any time would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. Optional reductions of the unused Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis among the outstanding Tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) Unless previously terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, (1) the Initial Term Loan Commitments in effect as of the Closing Date shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m. on the Closing Date, (2) the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (3) the Commitments in respect of any Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall automatically terminate on the date set forth in the applicable Incremental Amendment or other document reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower(s) and the applicable Term Loan Lender(s).

(ii) If after giving effect to any reduction or termination of unused Commitments under this Section 2.06, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the unused Revolving Credit Commitments or the unused Term Loan Commitments under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Revolving Credit Commitments or unused Term Loan Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, of each Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the applicable Facility is reduced. Optional reductions of the unused Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis among the outstanding Tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments. All Commitment Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.07 Repayment of Loans.

(a) Initial Term Loans. On the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrowers commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2020, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Initial Term Loan Lenders, a principal amount of the Initial Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 2.06(b)) equal to 1.00% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans as of the Closing Date. To the extent not previously paid, prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced, all Initial Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees on the principal amount to be paid up to but excluding the date of payment. All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.07(a) shall be subject to Section 3.05, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

(b) Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Borrowings outstanding on such date.

2.08 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b) and Section 2.10, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) If any amount payable by any Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Furthermore, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09 Fees.

In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(i) and (j):

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent (x) for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, (i) a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Revolving Credit Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with and including the Closing Date or ending with but excluding the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the Commitments of such Revolving Credit Lender shall expire

or be terminated) (the “Commitment Fee”); provided, however, that any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that the Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrowers prior to such time; provided, further, that no Commitment Fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Initial Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Obligations remain outstanding), including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and to but excluding the last day of the Initial Availability Period (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand). The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of computing the Commitment Fee, Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.

(b) Other Fees.

(i) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agents for their own respective accounts such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii) The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans in respect of which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers so notified shall execute and

deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each such Note shall (i) in the case of Term Loans, be in the form of Exhibit G-1 (a “Term Loan Note”) and (ii) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, be in the form of Exhibit G-2 (a “Revolving Credit Note”). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.11(b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.12 Payments Generally.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in the relevant currency, as the case may be, and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. may be deemed in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue thereon. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) (i) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender

and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) 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 the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

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

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

(e) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f) The Borrowers hereby authorize each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers’ accounts with such Lender any amount so due.

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 9.03.

2.13 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans or any Tranche of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans or any Tranche of Loans made by them and/or such sub-participations in the participations in L/C Obligations held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them (or other share contemplated hereunder); provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) (or other share contemplated hereunder) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrowers agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 11.08) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

2.14 Incremental Facilities.

(a) The Borrowers or any Guarantor (any such Guarantor, for so long as loans or commitments remain outstanding under the applicable Incremental Facility, an “Additional Borrower”) may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request the establishment of one or more new tranches of term facilities denominated in Dollars, an Alternative Currency or any other currency agreed to by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such New Term Loan Facility (each, a “New Term Loan Facility”) and/or increase the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans, any Incremental Term Loans or any Extended Term Loans by requesting new term loan commitments to be added to such Loans (together with any New Term Loan Facility, an “Incremental Term Facility” and, any Loans made pursuant to an Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or request the establishment of one or more new tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments

(each, a “New Revolving Credit Facility”) and/or request an increase in any Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any New Revolving Credit Facility, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with any Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Facilities” and, the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Credit Loans” and, together with any Incremental Term Loans, “Incremental Loans”); provided that no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Facility, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Facility, in an aggregate amount not in excess of the sum of

(x) the greater of (i) $375,000,000 (or a principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of $375,000,000) and (ii) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA as of the last day of the last Test Period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 7.01 at any time outstanding, less any amount of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (i)(D)(x)(1) of Section 8.02(p) and

(y) an unlimited amount if, after giving effect to the incurrence of such amount,

(i) in case of Incremental Facilities that are secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00 on a Pro Forma Basis,

(ii) in case of Incremental Facilities that are secured on a junior basis to the Obligations, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 on a Pro Forma Basis, and

(iii) in case of Incremental Facilities that are unsecured, either (x) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 on a Pro Forma Basis or (y) the Total Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00 on a Pro Forma Basis

(in each case, assuming (A) the Indebtedness being incurred as of such date of determination would be included in the definition of Consolidated Indebtedness, whether or not such Indebtedness would otherwise be included, (B) any Incremental Facilities are fully drawn and (C) the proceeds held as cash or Cash Equivalents thereof or of other Indebtedness incurred substantially concurrently therewith are not netted for the purposes of calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio and the Total Net Leverage Ratio) and, in each instance, for an amount not less than $5,000,000 (or a principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000) individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent);

provided that Incremental Facilities

(1) shall be incurred pursuant to clause (y) above prior to utilization of any capacity pursuant to clause (x) above,

(2) amounts incurred in reliance on clause (x) above concurrently with amounts incurred in reliance on clause (y) above shall not be included as Indebtedness in the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as applicable, for purposes of calculating any amounts that may be incurred pursuant to clause (y) above on the same day and

(3) if all or any portion of any Incremental Facility was originally incurred or issued in reliance on clause (x) above and thereafter such amount could have been incurred pursuant to clause (y) above, such amount of such Incremental Facility shall be reclassified, as the applicable Borrower may elect from time to time, as having been incurred pursuant to clause (y) above and thereafter shall not count as utilization of clause (x) above;

provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein,

(1) Incremental Term Loans may be incurred without regard to any of the foregoing limits to the extent that the Net Cash Proceeds of such Incremental Term Loans are used on or about the date of incurrence to permanently prepay and refinance Term Loans of any Tranche selected by the applicable Borrower on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and any such Incremental Term Loans (the “Refinancing Incremental Term Loans”) shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to this proviso, and

(2) New Revolving Credit Facilities may be incurred without regard to the foregoing limits to the extent that such New Revolving Credit Facilities are used on or about the date of incurrence to refinance and permanently reduce Revolving Credit Commitments of any Tranche selected by Borrower on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and any such Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder (the “Refinancing Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”) shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to this proviso.

Each such notice shall specify

(i) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the applicable Borrower proposes that the applicable Incremental Facility shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion),

(ii) the identity of each Lender or Affiliate or other Person that is consented to by the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and by the L/C Issuer to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 11.06 for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Affiliate or other Person, a “New Incremental Lender”) to whom the Borrowers propose any portion of such Incremental Facility be allocated and the amounts of such allocations and

(iii) whether such Incremental Facility is to be an Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Revolving Credit Facility. Such Incremental Facility shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date;

provided that

(A) subject to Section 1.10, no Event of Default or Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Incremental Facility,

(B) each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and in the cases of Sections 5.02(a) and (b), subject to Section 1.10)) shall be satisfied and all fees and expenses owing in respect of such increase to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have been paid;

(C) any Incremental Facility provided by any New Incremental Lender shall be effected pursuant to one or more joinder agreements (an “Incremental Amendment”) in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and executed and delivered by a Borrower (or Additional Borrower, if applicable) and the Administrative Agent, each of which shall be recorded in the Register; and

(D) the Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(b) The creation or provision of any Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan (and, in connection therewith, any amendment to the terms of this Agreement that is necessary or appropriate to implement the provisions thereof or that is favorable to the then-existing Lenders, in each case, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) shall not require the approval of any existing Lender other than any existing Lender providing all or part of any Incremental Commitment.

(c) The terms and provisions of any New Revolving Credit Facility (other than pricing, maturity and fees) shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the joinder agreement set forth in Section 2.14(a), substantially identical to the existing Revolving Credit Facility; provided that,

(i) no New Revolving Credit Facility shall mature earlier than, or require any scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of any Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans (or, in the case of Refinancing Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, the final maturity date of the Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments that are being refinanced),

(ii) any guarantor of any New Revolving Credit Facility shall also be a Guarantor,

(iii) if secured, such New Revolving Credit Facility shall not be secured by any assets that do not constitute Collateral and may not be secured pursuant to security documentation that is materially more restrictive, when taken as a whole, to the Loan Parties than the Loan Documents,

(iv) each New Revolving Credit Facility shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and pari passu or junior with respect to security with the Obligations or may be unsecured (and to the extent junior in right of payment or security, shall be subject to intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and

(v) each New Revolving Credit Facility established under the Loan Documents shall provide that

(A) the borrowing and repayment (except for (1) repayments required upon the maturity of any Revolving Credit Loan or Incremental Revolving Credit Loan and (2) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause (B) below)) under Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities after the date of obtaining any Incremental Revolving Credit Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis with the Revolving Credit Facilities and

(B) the permanent repayment of Incremental Revolving Credit Loans, and termination of commitments, under Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities after the date of obtaining any Incremental Revolving Credit Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis with the Revolving Credit Facilities, except that any Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility or Incremental Revolving Credit Facility on a better than pro rata basis as compared to any such facility with a later maturity date.

(d) The terms and provisions of any Incremental Term Loans shall be, if such Incremental Term Loans are not Initial Term Loans, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the joinder agreement set forth in Section 2.14(a), substantially identical to the Initial Term Loans, as applicable; provided that, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the joinder agreement set forth in Section 2.14(a), then

(i) the weighted average life to maturity of any New Term Loan Facility shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity such refinanced Tranche of the Term Loans, (or, in the case of any New Term Loans that are Refinancing Incremental Term Loans, the weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche of Term Loans that are being refinanced),

(ii) the final maturity date with respect to any New Term Loans shall be no earlier than the maturity date of such refinanced Tranche (or, in the case of any New Term Loans that are refinancing Incremental Term Loans, the final maturity date of the Tranche of Term Loans that are being refinanced),

(iii) if the Yield on any New Term Loans which are (a) incurred hereunder no later than 12 months after the Closing Date and (b) are secured on a pari passu basis with the Term Loans exceeds by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”) the Applicable Rate then in effect for any Term Loans, then the Applicable Rate (together with, as provided in the proviso below, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate floor) then in effect for Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the New Term Loans (and if the margins on the New Term Loans are subject to a leveraged-based pricing grid, appropriate increases to the Applicable Rates for the Term Loans, consistent with the foregoing, shall be made); provided that, if any New Term Loans include an Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate floor that is greater than the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate floor then applicable to any Term Loans, such differential between interest rate floors shall be included in the calculation of Yield for purposes of this clause (iii), but only to the extent an increase in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate floor applicable to such Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate and Base Rate floors (but not the Applicable Rate) applicable to the Term Loans shall be increased to the extent of such differential between interest rate floors (this clause (iii), the “MFN Adjustment”),

(iv) any guarantor of any New Term Loan Facility shall also be a Guarantor,

(v) if secured, such New Term Loan Facility shall not be secured by any assets that do not constitute Collateral and may not be secured pursuant to security documentation that is more restrictive to the Loan Parties than the Loan Documents, and

(vi) each New Term Loan Facility shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and pari passu or junior with respect to security with the Obligations or may be unsecured (and to the extent subordinated in right of payment or security, shall be subject to intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).

Each joinder agreement referred to in Section 2.14(a) may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, to effect the provision of this Section 2.14.

(e) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Loans that are to be additional Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, and when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by requiring each outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loan to be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the date of each such Incremental Loan, or by allocating a portion of each such Incremental Loan to each outstanding applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans on a pro rata basis, even though as a result thereof such Incremental Loan may effectively have a shorter Interest Period than the Loans included in the Borrowing of which they are a part (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that would prohibit such an initial Interest Period). Any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 3.05. If any Incremental Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan then, subject to Section 2.08(b), the interest rate applicable to such Incremental Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period shall equal the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for a period approximately equal to the remainder of such Interest Period (as determined by the Administrative Agent two Business Days before the date such Incremental Loan is made) plus the Applicable Rate then in effect. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are to be additional Term Loans, the applicable scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.07 required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans.

(f) Prior to the Increased Amount Date, if the Restricted Subsidiary incurring the Incremental Facility is an Additional Borrower, such Subsidiary shall deliver to the Lenders providing the Incremental Facility (including any New Incremental Lender) and the Administrative Agent, such documentation and other information reasonably requested by such Lenders or the Administrative Agent for purposes of complying with all necessary “know-your-customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations and no written objection submitted by any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent within five Business Days of the date of receipt of such documentation and other information shall have been given by such Lenders or the Administrative Agent.

Any obligations in respect of borrowings by any Borrower or any Additional Borrower under this Agreement will constitute “Obligations” for all purposes of the Loan Documents. If the Incremental Facility is incurred in a currency other than Dollars, this Agreement may be amended to reflect such new currency hereunder, which amendment must be mutually agreed to by the Administrative Agent and Holdings.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 11.01 shall impose any greater restriction on the ability of any Lender to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder with respect to any New Term Loan Facility without the written consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Term Loan Commitments and New Term Loans outstanding under such New Term Loan Facility.

(h) Any Incremental Facility that is secured on a junior lien basis to the Obligations or is unsecured shall be established pursuant to separate documentation from the Loan Documents.

For the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment of Loans with the proceeds received in connection with the incurrence of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be deemed an optional prepayment under Section 2.05(a).

2.15 Defaulting Lender.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 11.01.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers hereunder;

third, to cash collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15(d);

fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;

fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Holdings, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the L/C Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.15(d);

sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the L/C Issuers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;

provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowing in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and L/C Exposure are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(v). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Subject to Section 11.06(b)(viii) hereof, the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and, to the extent such Defaulting Lender fails to cure the default pursuant to Section 2.15(b) hereof within five Business Days shall entitle the Borrowers to replace the Defaulting Lender with one or more substitute Lenders, and the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. The notice from the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and such Defaulting Lender being replaced shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall be at least two Business Days, but not later than fifteen Business Days, after the date such notice is given. Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Defaulting Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption, subject only to the Defaulting Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Defaulting Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Assumption prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption. The replacement of any Defaulting Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 11.15.

(iv) Certain Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the available amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.15(d).

(C) With respect to any Letter of Credit Fees not required to be paid to any Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender (as “Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender”) pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender with respect to such Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit that have been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(v) below, (y) pay to each L/C Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(v) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) the Outstanding Amount of each non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations (with the aggregate amount of each Revolving Credit Lender’s funded participations in L/C Obligations (prior to giving effect to such reallocation) being deemed ‘held’ by such Revolving Credit Lender for this purpose) do not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender. Subject to Section 11.23, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(vi) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (v) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, cash collateralize any L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (v) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15(d) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(v)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto (determined after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(v) and any cash collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).

(d) Cash Collateral.

(i) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrowers shall cash collateralize such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(v) and any cash collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(ii) The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender, such Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each L/C Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash collateral as security for the Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (iii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer as herein provided (other than Permitted Liens), or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender).

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash collateral provided under this Section 2.15 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit (including, as to cash collateral provided by a Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the cash collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(iv) Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer that there exists excess cash collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 2.15 the Person providing cash collateral and such L/C Issuer may agree that cash collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; provided, further, that to the extent that such cash collateral was provided by a Borrower, such cash collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

2.16 Extension of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a) The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the (i) Term Loans of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”, and the Term Loans of such Tranche, the “Existing Term Loans”) or (ii) Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Tranche” and together with the Existing Term Loan Tranches, each an “Existing Tranche”, and the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolving Tranche, the “Existing Revolving Credit Commitments”, and the Revolving Credit Loans of such Existing Revolving Tranche, the “Existing Revolving Loans” and, together with the Existing Term Loans, the “Existing Loans”), in each case, be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of any Existing Tranche (any such Existing Tranche which has been so extended, an “Extended Term Tranche” or “Extended Revolving Credit Tranche”, as applicable, and each an “Extended Tranche”, and the Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, of such Extended Tranches, the “Extended Term Loans”, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” or “Extended Revolving Credit Loans”, as applicable and, collectively, the “Extended Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16; provided that

(i) no Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.01(a), (f) or (g) shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such extension or would exist after giving effect to such extension,

(ii) any such request shall be made by Holdings to all Lenders within any one or more Tranches of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, (whether under one or more Tranches) on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Term Loans or on the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments within any one or more Tranches, as applicable) and

(iii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrowers in its sole discretion.

In order to establish any Extended Tranche, the Borrowers shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Tranche) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Tranche to be established, which terms shall be substantially similar, when taken as a whole, to those applicable to the Existing Tranche from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Tranche”), except

(x) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Tranches may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Tranche,

(y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Tranche may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing Tranche and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Tranche in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and

(z) in the case of an Extended Term Tranche, so long as the weighted average life to maturity of such Extended Tranche would be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Specified Existing Tranche, amortization rates with respect to the Extended Term Tranche may be higher or lower than the amortization rates for the Specified Existing Tranche, in each case to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment;

provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16 or otherwise, assignments and participations of Extended Tranches shall be governed by the same or, at the Borrowers’ discretion, more restrictive assignment and participation provisions applicable to Initial Term Loans or Initial Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, set forth in Section 11.06. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Loans converted into an Extended Tranche pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche of Loans from the Specified Existing Tranches and from any other Existing Tranches (together with any other Extended Tranches so established on such date).

(b) The Borrowers shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche or Existing Tranches are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Specified Existing Tranche converted into an Extended Tranche shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension

Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Specified Existing Tranche that it has elected to convert into an Extended Tranche. In the event that the aggregate amount of the Specified Existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Tranches requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Specified Existing Tranches subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Tranches on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Specified Existing Tranches included in each such Extension Election. In connection with any extension of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.16 (each, an “Extension”), the Borrowers shall agree to such procedures regarding timing, rounding and other administrative adjustments to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16. The Borrowers may amend, revoke or replace an Extension Request pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at any time prior to the date (the “Extension Request Deadline”) on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Term Loan Tranches are requested to respond to the Extension Request. Any Lender may revoke an Extension Election at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. on the date that is two Business Days prior to the Extension Request Deadline, at which point the Extension Request becomes irrevocable (unless otherwise agreed by Borrower). The revocation of an Extension Election prior to the Extension Request Deadline shall not prejudice any Lender’s right to submit a new Extension Election prior to the Extension Request Deadline.

(c) Extended Tranches shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to provisions related to maturity, interest margins or fees referenced in clauses (x) and (y) of Section 2.16(a), or, in the case of Extended Term Tranches, amortization rates referenced in clause (z) of Section 2.16(a), or amendments to any other terms (including representations and warranties, conditions, prepayments, covenants or events of default) that are necessary or appropriate to implement the provisions thereof or that are favorable to the then-existing Lenders, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and which, in each case, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 2.16(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 11.01, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Tranches established thereby and any L/C Issuers with respect to the Extended Tranches established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Tranches and any L/C Issuers with respect to the Extended Tranches. Subject to the requirements of this Section 2.16 and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 11.01 to any Section 2.16 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.16 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.16 Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.16 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Tranches provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.16 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 11.01; provided, further, that no Extension Amendment may provide for (i) any Extended Tranche to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that does not also secure the applicable Existing Tranches or be guaranteed by any Person other than the Guarantors and (ii) so long as any Existing Term Loan Tranches are outstanding, any mandatory prepayment provisions that do not also apply to the Existing Term Loan Tranches (other than Existing Term Loan Tranches secured on a junior basis by the Collateral or ranking junior in right of payment, which shall be subject to junior prepayment provisions) on a pro rata or otherwise more favorable basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01, any such Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of

100

Holdings and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16; provided that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Section 2.16 Additional Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Tranche is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with Section 2.16(a) (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Specified Existing Tranche of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Tranche shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Tranche so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Tranches shall be established as a separate Tranche from the Specified Existing Tranche and from any other Existing Tranches (together with any other Extended Tranches so established on such date).

(d) If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines to consent to the applicable extension on the terms and by the deadline set forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such other Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) then the Borrowers may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Extending Lender, replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 11.06 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrowers in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrowers to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Extended Loans on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment; provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Existing Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Assumption. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.16, if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption by the later of (A) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption and (B) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Existing Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender, then such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption as of such date and Holdings shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender.

(e) Following any Extension Date, with the written consent of Holdings, any Non-Extending Lender may elect to have all or a portion of its Existing Loans deemed to be an Extended Loan under the applicable Extended Tranche on any date (each date a “Designation Date”) prior to the maturity date of such Extended Tranche; provided that such Lender shall have provided written notice to Holdings and the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such Designation Date (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion); provided, further, that no greater amount shall be paid by or on behalf of Holdings or any of its Affiliates to any such Non-Extending Lender as consideration for its extension into such Extended Tranche than was paid to any Lender in respect of such Extended Tranche as consideration for its Extension into such Extended Tranche. Following a Designation Date, the Existing Loans held by such Lender so elected to be extended will be deemed to be Extended Loans of the applicable Extended Tranche, and any Existing Loans held by such Lender not elected to be extended, if any, shall continue to be “Existing Loans” of the applicable Tranche.

With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute optional or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.05(a) and (b) and (ii) no Extension Request is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that Holdings may elect to specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and

101

specified in the relevant Extension Request in the Borrowers’ sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrowers) of Existing Loans of any or all applicable Tranches be extended. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.16 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.05(a) and (b) and Section 2.07) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.16.

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to any Extension in accordance with this Section 2.16.

For the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment of Loans with the proceeds received in connection with the incurrence of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be deemed an optional prepayment under Section 2.05(a).

2.17 Interest Act (Canada).

(a) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

(b) Each Canadian Loan Party acknowledges and confirms that:

(i) clause (a) above satisfies the requirements of Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) to the extent it applies to the expression or statement of any interest payable under any Loan Document; and

(ii) such Canadian Loan Party is able to calculate the yearly rate or percentage of interest payable under any Loan Document based upon the methodology set out in clause (a) above.

(c) Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige a Canadian Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to such Canadian Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.

(d) If any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Canadian Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Secured Party in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Secured Party of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by that Secured Party of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:

102

(i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and

(ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

Article III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by or on behalf of any Loan Party to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings (including back-up withholding) or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, and all interest, penalties or other liabilities with respect thereto (hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”), excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender,

(A) taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), in each case, (x) by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized, maintains a lending office, or (y) is subject to tax by virtue of any present or former connection (other than solely having executed, delivered, performed its obligations, received or perfected a security interest under, received payments under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced the Loan Documents, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Loan Document),

(B) branch profits taxes imposed by a jurisdiction described under clause (A) above,

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender with respect to a US Borrower (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrowers under Section 11.15), any United States federal withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender under the law applicable at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office) except to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, immediately before designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 3.01,

(D) taxes attributable to the failure to comply with Section 11.14,

(E) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA and

(F) in the case of a Lender with respect to a Borrower that is a Canadian Loan Party (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrowers under Section 11.15), any Canadian federal withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to or for the benefit of the Lender arising as a result of such Lender (i) not dealing at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) with a Canadian Loan Party, or (ii) being a “specified non-resident shareholder” of a Canadian Loan Party or a non-resident person not dealing at arm’s length with a “specified shareholder” of a Canadian Loan Party (in each case within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, interest, penalties and other liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Non-Excluded Taxes”).

103

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Taxes are required to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender,

(i) such Loan Party shall make such deductions,

(ii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws,

(iii) if such Tax is a Non-Excluded Tax, the sum payable by the Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), each of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made on account of Non-Excluded Taxes and

(iv) as soon as practicable after the date of such payment, such Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document, excluding any such taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 11.15) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such party and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, except for any interest and penalties with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender. Payment under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within 30 days after the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Loan Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) If any Lender is entitled to a refund, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion exercised in good faith (including any credit in lieu of a refund) of any Taxes with respect to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), such Lender shall pay over such refund to the applicable Loan Party (but only to the extent of additional amounts paid by the Loan Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Loan Party, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such

104

Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (d) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans and the calculation of Base Rate based upon the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, each Loan Party shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Loan Party shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) If the Required Lenders reasonably determine that

(i) for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan (including because the US LIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate or Alternate Currency LIBO Rate, as applicable, is not available or published on a current basis),

(ii) they are unable to obtain matching deposits in the London inter-bank market at or about 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the second Business Day before the making of a Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective Loans as a part of such Borrowing during its Interest Period or

(iii) the Eurocurrency Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Holdings and each Lender.

105

Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans and the calculation of Base Rate based upon Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in Dollars in (or, in the case of any applicable Loan in an Alternative Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof) the amount specified therein.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) that the Required Lenders have determined, that (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the US LIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate or Alternate Currency LIBO Rate, as applicable, is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (ii) the supervisor for the administrator of the US LIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate or Alternate Currency LIBO Rate, as applicable, or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the US LIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate or Alternate Currency LIBO Rate, applicable, shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), then, after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace the Eurocurrency Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of the Eurocurrency Rate (it being agreed that such rate shall at no time be less than 0.00% per annum) (any such proposed rate, a “Successor Rate”), together with any proposed Successor Rate Conforming Changes and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

(c) If no Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans and the calculation of Base Rate based upon Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected US LIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate or Alternate Currency LIBO Rate or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected US LIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate or Alternate Currency LIBO Rate or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

(d) “Successor Rate Conforming Changes” as used in this Section 3.03, means, with respect to any proposed Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, to reflect the adoption of such Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines in consultation with the Borrower).

106

3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

(a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the Closing Date, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, in each case, addressed by Section 3.01, (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Lending Office, and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c)), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the Closing Date, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Rate funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency Liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrowers shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s, such L/C Issuer’s or the Administrative Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent under Section 3.04(a) or (b) for increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender, such L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided, further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any change in law within such 120-day period. The protection of this Section 3.04 shall be available to each Lender, each L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the change in law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

107

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 3.04, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “change in law” or “change in the interpretation of law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

3.05 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by any Borrower;

(c) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by any Borrower pursuant to Section 11.15; or

(d) any payment by the Borrowers of the principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Loan (or interest due thereon) denominated in a different currency from the currency in which the applicable Revolving Credit Loan is denominated;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurocurrency market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

(a) A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

108

(b) Upon any Lender’s making a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or 3.04, the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.15.

109

otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.02(a) that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor, as applicable, shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against any Loan Party for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full.

(v) any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of the Obligations.

(c) With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

4.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each L/C Issuer and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by such Persons in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such reasonable costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

4.06 Rights of Contribution. The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor with respect to the Obligations in accordance with applicable Law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until such time as the Obligations have been Fully Satisfied, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution rights until the Obligations have been paid in full.

4.07 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee given by the Guarantors in this Article IV is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations, whenever arising.

Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 4.08 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 4.08, or otherwise under this Guaranty, as it relates to such Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until a Discharge of Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 4.08 constitute, and this Section 4.08 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(ii) within 60 days after such formation or acquisition (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), deliver to the Administrative Agent, upon the request of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, a signed copy of a favorable opinion with respect to such Subsidiary, addressed to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, of counsel for the Loan Parties reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and

Such Mortgages shall be granted pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and shall constitute valid and enforceable perfected Liens subject only to Permitted Liens, Liens pursuant to Section 8.01(g) or other Liens reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent. Such Mortgages or instruments related thereto shall be duly recorded or filed in such manner and in such places as are required by law to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent required to be granted pursuant to the Mortgages and all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection therewith shall be paid in full.

(A) be issued by the Title Company,

(B) to the extent necessary and available, include such reinsurance arrangements (with provisions for direct access, if necessary) as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent,

(D) be in the form of ALTA Loan Policy—1970 (Amended 10/17/70 and 10/17/84) (or equivalent policies) where available,

(F) have been supplemented by such endorsements and affirmative coverage as shall be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (including, but not limited to, endorsements on matters relating to usury, first loss, last dollar, zoning (unless the cost of obtaining such zoning endorsement is prohibitive or Collateral Agent receives a zoning letter reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent), contiguity, revolving credit/future advance, doing business, non-imputation, public road access, survey, variable rate, environmental lien, subdivision, mortgage recording tax, separate tax lot and so-called comprehensive coverage over covenants and restrictions), and

(G) contain no exceptions to title other than Permitted Liens, and other exceptions reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent;

131

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, the Loan Parties shall not be required to (i) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent Mortgages with respect to any fee owned real property other than a Material Real Property, or (ii) pledge or grant security interests in any of their property or assets if, in the reasonable judgment of Collateral Agent, the costs of creating or perfecting such pledges or security interests in such property or assets are excessive in relation to the benefits to the Secured Parties. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts at least seven Business Days prior to the occurrence of a XXXX Event to provide to Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender (x) a completed Flood Certificate from a third party vender in respect of each then-existing Mortgaged Property and (y) an updated list of owned-real property after giving effect to such XXXX Event (or a confirmation that the most-recently provided list of owned-real property remains accurate).

(c) With respect to any Collateral acquired after the Closing Date or, in the case of inventory or equipment, any material Collateral moved after the Closing Date by any Loan Party (other than any Collateral described in Section 7.12(a) or Section 7.12(b)) as to which the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, does not have a first priority perfected security interest, promptly (and, in any event, within ten Business Days following the date of such acquisition (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion))

(i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent such amendments to the Collateral Documents as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in such Collateral and

(d) if required by Environmental Law, conduct any investigation, study, sampling and testing, and undertake any cleanup, removal, remedial or other action necessary to remove and clean up all Hazardous Materials from any of its current or former properties, in accordance with the requirements of all Environmental Laws;

except in each case of clauses (a), (b), (c) and/or (d) above, where such non-compliance, failure to obtain Environmental Permits, Environmental Claims or requirements of Environmental Law does not or could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that no Loan Party nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to undertake any such compliance, to obtain any such Environmental Permits, to cure any such Environmental Claims or to perform any such cleanup, removal, remedial or other action to the extent that its obligation to do so is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and appropriate financial reserves are being maintained with respect to such circumstances.

(b) Each Loan Party shall (and Holdings shall procure that each member of the Restricted Group shall) take all such action as is available to it (including making all filings and registrations) as may be necessary for the purpose of creation, perfection, protection or maintenance of any Lien conferred or intended to be conferred on the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties by or pursuant to the Loan Documents.

7.15 Collateral and Guarantee Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article IV, Sections 7.12 and 7.14, the requirements of such Sections shall not apply to any assets or new Subsidiary created or acquired after the Closing Date, as applicable, if, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, the costs of creating or perfecting such pledges or security interests in such assets (including any mortgage, stamp or other similar tax) are (taking into account the present and future direct and indirect cost and/or burden to the Restricted Group) excessive in relation to the benefits accruing to the Lenders.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 7.12 and 7.14 or any Loan Document, no Loan Party shall be deemed or be obligated to grant a security interest in any asset to support the Obligations if such grant of a security interest in such asset would be prohibited by enforceable anti-assignment provisions of any Contractual Obligation permitted pursuant to Section 8.08 (after giving effect to relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 7.12 and 7.14 or any Loan Document, no Loan Party shall be deemed to be required under any Loan Document to pledge or otherwise provide as collateral or security the Equity Interests of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, a Non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary, an Immaterial Subsidiary or any Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 1.01(e) to secure the Obligations of a Loan Party.

(d) Sections 7.12 and 7.14 or any Loan Document need not be satisfied with respect to any Excluded Assets.

133

determines, in consultation with Holdings, that perfection or obtaining of such items cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) Liens required to be granted from time to time pursuant to this Agreement and the Collateral Documents shall be subject to exceptions and limitations set forth in the Collateral Documents and (iii) the Administrative Agent and Holdings may make such modifications to the Mortgages, and execute and/or consent to such easements, covenants, rights of way or similar instruments (and Administrative Agent may agree to subordinate the lien of any Mortgage to any such easement, covenant, right of way or similar instrument of record or may agree to recognize any tenant pursuant to an agreement in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), as are reasonable or necessary and otherwise permitted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) furnish to the Lenders such other information respecting the condition, operations or business, financial or otherwise, of the Borrowers or any of Subsidiary as any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, may from time to time reasonably request (including any information that any Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its obligations under any “know-your-customer” or anti-money laundering laws or regulations, including the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation).

7.19 Lender Calls. Holdings shall conduct, if requested by the Administrative Agent by written notice, which may be given in the form of an email, quarterly conference calls that the Lenders may attend to discuss the financial condition and results of operations of Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries for the most recently ended measurement period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 7.01, at a date and time to be reasonably determined by Holdings in consultation with the Administrative Agent, provided, however, that so long as Holdings has publicly listed debt or equity securities and regularly holds customary earnings calls, the foregoing lender call requirements shall not apply.

Further, for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 8.02,

(A) Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) described in this Section 8.02 but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and

(B) in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) described in this Section 8.02, the Borrowers may, in their sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if incurred at such later time), such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 8.02 and will be entitled to only include the amount and type of such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in one of the above clauses (or any portion thereof) and such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) shall be treated as having been incurred or existing pursuant to only such clause or clauses (or any portion thereof) without giving pro forma effect to such item (or portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to any other clause; provided, that all Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date under this Agreement shall at all times be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 8.02.

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness and the payment of dividends in the form of additional Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, as applicable, will in each case not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock for purposes of this Section 8.02.

Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In

158

determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, an Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

159

10.08 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any L/C Issuer or in any such proceeding.

Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.09. In each case as specified in this Section 10.09, the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.09.

(e) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms materially and adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each materially and adversely affected Class;

(i) amend, waive or otherwise modify any of the terms and provisions (and related definitions) of Section 8.10 (even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Borrowing or to reduce any fee payable hereunder) or any of the terms and provisions of the proviso set forth in Section 9.01(b), without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, and, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, any such amendment, waiver or other modification shall be effective for all purposes of this Agreement with the written consent of only the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility (or the Administrative Agent with the prior written consent thereof), on the one hand, and Holdings, on the other hand; or

(j) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.06(b)(vii) without the written consent of such SPC,

provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the L/C Issuers in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuers under this Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it and (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (i) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

163

If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document as contemplated by Section 11.01, the consent of each Lender, each Lender or each affected Lender, as applicable, is required and the consent of the Required Lenders at such time is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each such other Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) then the Borrowers may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender, (A) replace such Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with Section 11.15 or (B) prepay the Loans and, if applicable, terminate the commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.

NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, any Arranger or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, any Arranger or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrowers, the Agents and the L/C Issuers may change its address or telecopier number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrowers, the Agents, and the L/C Issuers.

(e) Reliance by Agents, L/C Issuers and Lenders. The Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agents, each L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Agents to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

165

(b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agents (and any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of

(i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,

(ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit),

(iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Claim or Environmental Liability related in any way to Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary, or

(iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Loan Party or any of such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;

provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) other than in respect of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in its capacity as such, result from a claim brought by any Loan Party against an Indemnitee for a material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, in each case of clauses (x) and (y), if such Loan Party has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that any Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 11.04(a) or 11.04(b) to be paid to the Agents (or any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers, the L/C Issuers or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents (or any such sub-agent), the Arrangers, the L/C Issuers or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agents (or any such sub-agent), the Arrangers or the L/C Issuers in their capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agents (or any such sub-agent), the Arrangers or the L/C Issuers in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.04(c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that such waiver of special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Borrowers under Section 11.04(b). No party hereto shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such party hereto 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 other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such party hereto as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 11.04 shall be payable not later than 20 Business Days after written demand therefor.

167

11.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Agents or any Lender, or the Agents or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agents or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then

(a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and

(b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents upon demand their applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agents, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

11.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that

(i) no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and each Lender (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void) and

(ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder, except

(A) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06(b) or Section 11.06(i),

(B) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06(d), or

(C) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer shall be null and void).

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 11.06(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 11.06(b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

168

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) no minimum amount need be assigned in the case of (x) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Facility and (y) an assignment by a Lender to any other Lenders, Affiliates and Approved Funds; and

(B) in any case not described in Section 11.06(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than, in the case of any Facility, $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment under such Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Holdings otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group with respect to any Lender and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group with respect to any Lender to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 11.06(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of Holdings (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless

(1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment,

(2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or

(3) such assignment is during the primary syndication of the Loans and Commitments to Persons identified by the Administrative Agent to Holdings on or prior to the Closing Date;

provided, that if Holdings has not given the Administrative Agent written notice of its objection to such assignment within ten (10) Business Days after written notice to Holdings, Holdings shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of

169

(i) any Term Loan Commitment or Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or

(ii) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (such Assignment and Assumption to be delivered via an electronic settlement system reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually)), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments to or from two or more Approved Funds by a single Lender and no fee shall be payable for assignments among related funds or among any Lender and any of its Affiliates. The assignee, if it shall not be a Lender immediately prior to the assignment, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and applicable tax forms. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.06(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the applicable Borrower (at its sole expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 11.06(d);

(v) No such assignment shall be made to Holdings or any of its Affiliates or any Restricted Subsidiary, except as set forth in Section 11.06(i);

(vi) Prohibited Assignees.

(A) No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of one or more natural persons);

(B) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless Holdings has consented to such assignment in

170

writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the entry into such binding agreement (the date of such agreement, the “Trade Date”) (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender.

(C) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without Holdings’ prior written consent in violation of Section 11.06(b)(vi)(B) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 11.15, require such Disqualified Institution to assign all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee.

(D) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions

(A) will not

(x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender,

(y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or

(z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders and

(B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and

(y) for purposes of voting on any bankruptcy plan, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees

(1) not to vote on such bankruptcy plan,

(2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such bankruptcy plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor

171

Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such bankruptcy plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and

(3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by court of competent jurisdiction effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

(E) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions and any updates thereto from time to time on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for Public Lenders and/or (B) provide such list to each Lender requesting the same.

(vii) SPC.

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.

(B) The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.

(C) Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender).

(D) In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.

(E) In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.06(b)(vii), any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Holdings and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by Holdings and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC;

172

(viii) No Assignment to Defaulting Lender. No such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender; and

(ix) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Holdings and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer, each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and the Borrowers, and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all outstanding Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, and all participations in Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, Holdings and each L/C Issuer to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) promptly record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 11.06(c). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Commitment or Loans) and any L/C Issuer, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations.

(i) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of one or more natural persons) or Holdings or any of its Affiliates or any Restricted Subsidiary) (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 (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that

173

(A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,

(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and

(C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(ii) 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, waiver or other modification described in Section 11.01(b), (c), (d), (f) or (g) that affects such Participant.

(iii) Subject to Section 11.06(e), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.06(b).

(iv) To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

(v) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version).

(vi) The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Holdings’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless Holdings is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the applicable, to comply with Section 11.14(a) as though it were a Lender.

174

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; 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.

(g) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers, advises or manages a Lender.

“Eligible Assignee” means any Person that meets the requirements to be an assignee under Sections 11.06(b)(iii), (v) and (vi) (subject to such consents, if any, as may be required under Section 11.06(b)(iii)).

“Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course.

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

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans hereunder to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, but only if:

(i) (A) such assignment is made pursuant to a Dutch Auction open to all Lenders holding Term Loans of the specified Tranche on a pro rata basis or (B) such assignment is made as an open market purchase;

(ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom;

(iii) any such Term Loans shall be automatically and permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition thereof by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries; and

(iv) Holdings and its Subsidiaries do not use the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Facility (whether or not the Revolving Credit Facility has been increased pursuant to Section 2.14 or extended pursuant to Section 2.16) to acquire such Term Loans.

11.07 Confidentiality. Each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed

(a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, advisors (including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors) and 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);

175

(b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners);

(d) to any other party to this Agreement;

(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any suit, any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder;

(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.07, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the obligations of the Loan Parties;

(g) with the consent of the Borrowers;

(h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.07 or (ii) becomes available to each Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers; or

(i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender).

In addition, each Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to each Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration, settlement and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary relating to any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.07 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.

Each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including federal and state securities Laws.

176

11.08 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 9.02 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Loans due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.02, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Loan Party, any such notice being waived by each Loan Party to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and their respective Affiliates may have.

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

11.10 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. To the extent permitted under applicable law, delivery by telecopier or e-mail of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier.

11.11 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

177

11.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

11.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.14 Tax Forms.

(a) (i) Each Lender with respect to a Loan or Commitment extended to a US Borrower, if such Lender is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally able to do so, deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement) or such other applicable evidence satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax (including, in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any Borrower described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code) (each a “Tax Compliance Certificate”).

(ii) Each Foreign Lender with respect to a Loan or Commitment extended to a US Borrower, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall, to the extent that it is legally able to do so, deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (in the reasonable exercise of their discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, Tax Compliance Certificates and/or any other certificate or statement of exemption from each beneficial owner required under the Code, as applicable.

178

(b) Each Lender with respect to a Loan or Commitment extended to a US Borrower that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9 or otherwise establish an exemption from United States back-up withholding tax.

(c) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 11.14(c), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(d) To the extent required by any applicable Laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 3.01(c), each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof (but only to the extent that the Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for any Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to Section 3.01 and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Party to do so) within 10 days after demand therefor, any and all taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the 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 Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 11.14(d). The agreements in this Section 11.14(d) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments hereunder shall deliver to the Borrowers, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

179

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

11.15 Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Under any circumstances set forth herein providing that the Borrowers shall have the right to replace a Lender as a party to this Agreement, the Borrowers may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign all of its interests, rights and obligations, with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrowers in such instance, pursuant to Section 11.06(b) to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees procured by the Borrowers; provided, however, that if the Borrowers elect to exercise such right with respect to (i) any Lender pursuant to Section 3.06(b), it shall be obligated to replace all Lenders that have made similar requests for compensation pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 or (ii) any Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the applicable change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents.

(b) The Borrowers shall

(x) pay in full all principal, interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender through the date of replacement (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05 or 2.05(a)(iv), as applicable),

(y) provide appropriate assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of credit) to each L/C Issuer as it may reasonably require with respect to any continuing obligation to fund participation interests in any L/C Obligations then outstanding, and

(z) release such Lender from its obligations under the Loan Documents.

(c) Any Lender being replaced shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations.

(d) Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 11.15.

11.16 Governing Law.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF A DIFFERENT GOVERNING LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE SECURITY INTERESTS).

EACH LOAN PARTY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH LOAN PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH ON SCHEDULE 11.02, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 10 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWERS IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

182

thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by any Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by the other Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by any Lender in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any Obligation or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of the other Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any Lender, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with the applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 11.22, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 11.22, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any Obligation remains unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 11.22 shall not be discharged except by performance or payment and then only to the extent of such performance or payment. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 11.22 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Lender. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any Borrower or any Lender.

The provisions of this Section 11.22 are made solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by any such Person from time to time against any Borrower as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against the other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it against the other Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any Obligation or to elect any other remedy. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any Obligation, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 11.22 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, to the extent the joint and several obligations of any Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state, provincial or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal, state or provincial and including, without limitation, Title 11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other Debtor Relief Laws), after taking into account, among other things, such Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Loan Party under applicable law.

11.23 Judgment Currency.

(a) The obligations of the Borrowers or any Additional Borrower under the Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars or an Alternative Currency, as the case may be (the “Obligation Currency”), shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or a Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or Lender under the Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation

183

Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the Dollar Equivalent of such amount, in each case, as of the date immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrowers covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. The Borrower shall indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against all loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or under any judgment or order.

For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

11.24 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

11.25 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Secured Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of

184

the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 11.25, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i) “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

(ii) “Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(A) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(B) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(iii) “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

(iv) “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

185

11.26 Canadian AML Legislation.

(a) Each Canadian Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” Laws, whether within Canada or elsewhere (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Borrowers, their directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of such Borrower, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Canadian Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or any prospective assign or participant of a Lender or the Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b) If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of a Canadian Loan Party or any authorized signatories of such Canadian Loan Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of applicable AML Legislation; and

(ii) shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of a Canadian Loan Party or any authorized signatories of such Canadian Loan Party on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from such Canadian Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION

This Assignment and Assumption (the “Assignment and Assumption”) is dated as of the Effective Date set forth below and is entered into by and between the Assignor identified in item 1 below (the “Assignor”) and the Assignee identified in item 2 below (the “Assignee”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement identified below (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), receipt of a copy of which is hereby acknowledged by the Assignee. The Standard Terms and Conditions set forth in Annex 1 attached hereto are hereby agreed to and incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Assignment and Assumption as if set forth herein in full.

For an agreed consideration, the Assignor hereby irrevocably sells and assigns to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases and assumes from the Assignor, subject to and in accordance with the Standard Terms and Conditions and the Credit Agreement, as of the Effective Date inserted by the Administrative Agent as contemplated below (i) all of the Assignor’s rights and obligations in its capacity as a Lender under the Credit Agreement and any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto to the extent related to the amount and percentage interest identified below of all of such outstanding rights and obligations of the Assignor under the respective facilities identified below (including without limitation any letters of credit, guarantees, and swingline loans included in such facilities), and (ii) to the extent permitted to be assigned under applicable law, all claims, suits, causes of action and any other right of the Assignor (in its capacity as a Lender) against any Person, whether known or unknown, arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto or the loan transactions governed thereby or in any way based on or related to any of the foregoing, including, but not limited to, contract claims, tort claims, malpractice claims, statutory claims and all other claims at law or in equity related to the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant to clause (i) above (the rights and obligations sold and assigned by Assignor to Assignee pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above being referred to herein collectively as the “Assigned Interest”).
