For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 10.1 and 10.2, with respect to any amount of Indebtedness in a Foreign Currency, compliance will be determined at the time of incurrence thereof using the Dollar Equivalent thereof at the Exchange Rate in effect at the time of such incurrence.

1.3. Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

1.4. Accounting Terms.

(a) The Borrower may notify the Administrative Agent at any time that it has elected to so use IFRS in lieu of GAAP and, upon any such notice, references herein to GAAP shall thereafter be construed to mean IFRS as in effect from time to time; provided that, to the extent that such election would affect any financial ratio set forth in this Agreement or requirement set forth in Section 11, (i) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent financial statements and other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender setting forth a reconciliation with respect to such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such election and (ii) if the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change.

(vi) ~~(v)~~Each Lender may at its option make any LIBOR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (A) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan and (B) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize any increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of the Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it determines would be otherwise disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 3.5 shall apply).

On the Tranche R-2 Revolving Credit Maturity Date, all Tranche R-2 Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid in full.

(c) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Swingline Lender in its individual capacity agrees, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Swingline Maturity Date, to make a loan or loans (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower in Dollars, which Swingline Loans (i) shall be ABR Loans, (ii) shall have the benefit of the provisions of Section 2.1(d), (iii) shall not exceed at any time outstanding the Swingline Commitment, (iv) shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result at any time in the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at such time exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect and (v) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof. On the Swingline Maturity Date, each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be repaid in full. The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after receiving a written notice from the Borrower or any Lender stating that a Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice of (i) rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or (ii) the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.1.

-51-

(d) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Lenders with a Revolving Credit Commitment that all then-outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, in which case Revolving Credit Loans constituting ABR Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Lenders with a Revolving Credit Commitment pro rata based on each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swingline Loan). Each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Credit Loans upon one Business Day’s notice, pro rata between its Tranche R-1 Revolving Credit Commitment and Tranche R-2 Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified to it in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for each Borrowing specified in Section 2.2, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing or (v) any reduction in the Total Commitment after any such Swingline Loans were made. In the event that, in the sole judgment of the Swingline Lender, any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Borrower), each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from the Swingline Lender (without recourse or warranty) such participation of the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages; provided that all principal and interest payable on such Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date the respective participation is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the Lender purchasing same from and after such date of purchase.

(e) If the maturity date shall have occurred in respect of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments at a time when another Class of Revolving Credit Commitments is in effect with a longer maturity date, then on the earliest occurring maturity date all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of such maturity date); provided, however, that if on the occurrence of such earliest maturity date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Credit Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 3.3(e)), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant to such Revolving Credit Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of such maturity date, then if consented to by the Swingline Lender, there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans and same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the remaining Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis, and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such earliest maturity date. For the avoidance of doubt, the commitment of the Swingline Lender to act in its capacity as such cannot be extended beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or increased without its prior written consent.

2.2. Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Term Loans (other than with respect to Tranche B-3 Term Loans on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date or Tranche B-4 Term Loans or Tranche B-5 Term Loans on the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date) or Revolving Credit Loans (other than with respect to Revolving Credit Loans on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date) shall be in a multiple of $1,000,000 and Swingline Loans shall be in a multiple of $10,000 and, in each case, shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount with respect thereto (except that Mandatory Borrowings shall be made in the amounts required by Section 2.1(d)). More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date; provided that at no time shall there be outstanding more than twelve (12) Borrowings of LIBOR Loans under this Agreement.

2.3. Notice of Borrowing.

(a) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (i) prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the Borrowing of Term Loans if all or any of such Term Loans are to be initially LIBOR Loans, and (ii) prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) prior to 10:00 a.m. (New

Such notice (together with each notice of a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and each notice of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(c), a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to be made, (ii) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be the Closing Date) and (iii) whether the Term Loans shall consist of ABR Loans ~~and/or~~, LIBOR Term Loans and/or, solely in the case of the Tranche B-5 Term Loans, Fixed Rate Term Loans and, if the Term Loans are to include LIBOR Term Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the proposed Borrowing of Term Loans, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing. For the avoidance of doubt, the notice of Borrowing of the Tranche B-3 Term Loans on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date is only required with respect to the Tranche B-3 Term Loans that are not Converted Tranche B-2 Term Loans and the notices of Borrowings of the Tranche B-4 Term Loans and the Tranche B-5 Term Loans on the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date is only required with respect to the Tranche B-4 Term Loans or Tranche B-5 Term Loans that are not Converted Tranche B-2 to B-4 Term Loans or Converted Tranche B-2 to B-5 Term Loans, respectively.

(b) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Revolving Credit Loans (other than Mandatory Borrowings or borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings), it shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, (i) prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City Time) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans, and (ii) prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of ABR Loans. Each such Notice of Borrowing, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of ABR Loans or LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans and, if LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. Each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans will be automatically made pro rata between Tranche R-1 Revolving Credit Loans and Tranche R-2 Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing.

(c) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, it shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Swingline Loans prior to 2:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing and (ii) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). The Administrative Agent shall promptly give the Swingline Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing of Swingline Loans and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing.

(d) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.1(d), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such Section.

(e) Borrowings to reimburse Unpaid Drawings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 3.4(a).

(f) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any notice it may give hereunder by telephone, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of any such telephonic notice.

-53-

2.4. Disbursement of Funds.

(a) No later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (including Mandatory Borrowings), each Lender will make available its pro rata portion, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below; provided that all Swingline Loans shall be made available in the full amount thereof by the Swingline Lender no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date requested.

(b) Each Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any Borrowing for its applicable Commitments, and in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and the Administrative Agent will (except in the case of Mandatory Borrowings and Borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings) make available to the Borrower, by depositing to the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available in Dollars. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available same to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans.

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

2.5. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

2.9. Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall have the right to elect by giving the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, except as contemplated by Section 2.1(a), at the option of the Borrower be a one, two, three, six or (in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, if available to all the Lenders making such loans as determined by such Lenders in good faith based on prevailing market conditions) a nine or twelve month period; provided that the initial Interest Period may be for a period less than one month if agreed upon by the Borrower and the Agents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

(a) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans or) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

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

(d) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond the applicable Maturity Date of such Loan.

2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

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

(i) on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (x) deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such LIBOR Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant market or (y) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Closing Date affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loans (other than any such increase or reduction

-57-

attributable to Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4 and Excluded Taxes) because of (x) any change since the Closing Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order), such as, for example, without limitation, a change in official reserve requirements, and/or (y) other circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

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

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Term Loans and LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Term Loans or LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

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

(c) If, after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by a Lender or its parent with any request or directive made or adopted after the Closing Date regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, association, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s or its Affiliate’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent or its Affiliate could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, promptly after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Closing Date. Each

-58-

Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.10(c) shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy issued in connection with the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the United States financial regulatory authorities (including regulations implementing the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements), regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

(d) It is understood that to the extent duplicative of Section 5.4, this Section 2.10 shall not apply to Taxes.

2.11. Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or 14.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 12 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing, (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any LIBOR Loan is not continued as an LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall demand, and the Borrower shall not be obliged to make, any funding loss payments pursuant to this Section 2.11 with respect to the payment or conversion on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date with respect to the Converted Tranche B-1 Term Loans or the converted Tranche R-1 Revolving Credit Loans.

2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(b), 3.5 or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4.

2.13. Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4 is given by any Lender more than 90 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 91st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower.

2.14. Incremental Facilities. The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more (x) Incremental Tranche B Term Loan commitments (the “Incremental Tranche B Term Loan Commitments”) and/or (y) Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment” and, together with the Incremental Tranche B Term Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Loan Commitments”) by an aggregate amount (A) not in excess of an amount such that, after giving pro forma effect thereto (including use of proceeds and assuming the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are fully drawn), (1) the Consolidated Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio is no greater than 2.50 to 1.00 and (2) the Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio is no greater than 6.75 to 1.00, in each case as of the

-59-

last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter after giving effect to such Incremental Loan Commitments (including use of proceeds and assuming the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are fully drawn) and (B) not less than $25,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of that amount; provided that (i) Incremental Tranche B Term Loan Commitments may be incurred without regard to the conditions set forth in the preceding clause (A) and without regard to the minimums set forth in the preceding clause (B) to the extent that the Net Cash Proceeds from such Incremental Loan Commitments on the date of incurrence (or substantially concurrently therewith) are used to refinance Term Loans or Incremental Tranche B Term Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent); provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Loan Commitment. Such Incremental Loan Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (1) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Incremental Loan Commitments, as applicable; (2) both before and after giving effect to the making of any Series of Incremental Tranche B Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 7 shall be satisfied; (3) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be in pro forma (giving effect to the application of proceeds of any incremental loans) compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 11 as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter after giving effect to such Incremental Loan Commitments and any Investment to be consummated in connection therewith; (4) the Incremental Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 5.4(d); (5) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.11 in connection with the Incremental Loan Commitments, as applicable; and (6) the Borrower 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. Any Incremental Tranche B Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date may be designated, a separate series (a “Series”) or Class of Incremental Tranche B Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement or may be an increase to an existing Series or Class.

On any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments shall assign (on a pro rata basis between such Lender’s Tranche R-1 Revolving Credit Commitment and Tranche R-2 Revolving Credit Commitment) to each Lender with an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment (each, an “Incremental Revolving Loan Lender”) and each of the Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans (on a pro rata basis between such Lender’s outstanding Tranche R-1 Revolving Credit Loans and outstanding Tranche R-2 Revolving Credit Loans) outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by existing Lenders with Revolving Credit Loans and Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments to the Revolving Credit Commitments, (b) each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (an “Incremental Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Credit Loan and (c) each Incremental Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental Tranche B Term Loan Commitments of any Series are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Lender with an Incremental Tranche B Term Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental Tranche B Term Loan Lender”) of any Series shall make a Loan to the Borrower (an “Incremental Tranche B Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Tranche B Term Loan Commitment of such Series, and (ii) each Incremental Tranche B Term Loan Lender of any Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Tranche B Term Loan Commitment of such Series and the Incremental Tranche B Term Loans of such Series made pursuant thereto.

The terms and provisions of the Incremental Tranche B Term Loans and Incremental Tranche B Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Joinder Agreement, identical to

-60-

the Tranche B-3 Term Loans; provided, however, that (i) the applicable Incremental Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date of each Series shall be no shorter than the final maturity of the Tranche B-3 Term Loans, (ii) the weighted average life to maturity of the Incremental Tranche B Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the then existing Tranche B-3 Term Loans and (iii) the rate of interest applicable to the Incremental Tranche B Term Loans of each Series shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Joinder Agreement; provided that to the extent that the Applicable ABR Margin or Applicable LIBOR Margin for any Incremental Tranche B Term Loan is greater than the Applicable ABR Margin or Applicable LIBOR Margin for the Tranche B-3 Term Loans by more than 50 basis points, then such Applicable ABR Margin or Applicable LIBOR Margin for the Tranche B-3 Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Applicable ABR Margin or Applicable LIBOR Margin for the Incremental Tranche B Term Loans is 50 basis points higher than the Applicable ABR Margin or Applicable LIBOR Margin for the Tranche B-3 Term Loans; provided, further, that in determining the Applicable ABR Margin or Applicable LIBOR Margin applicable to the Tranche B-3 Term Loans and the Incremental Tranche B Term Loans, (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders of the Tranche B-3 Term Loans or the Incremental Tranche B Term Loans in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity) and (y) any underwriting or arrangement fees payable to the arrangers or their Affiliates in connection with the Tranche B-3 Term Loans and Incremental Tranche B Term Loans shall be excluded. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall be identical to the applicable Revolving Credit Loans and the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments.

Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provision of this Section 2.14.

2.15. Amendments Effecting a Maturity Extension. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary:

(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall forward such notice to all applicable Lenders), make an offer (each such offer, an “Extension Offer”) on a pro rata basis to all the Lenders of any Class to make one or more amendments or modifications to allow the maturity of the Loans and/or Commitments of the Extending Lenders (as defined below) to be extended, and, in connection with such extension, to (i) reduce, eliminate or otherwise modify the scheduled amortization of the applicable Loans of the Extending Lenders, (ii) change the Applicable ABR Margin, Applicable ~~ABR~~LIBOR Margin ~~and~~, Applicable ~~LIBOR Margin~~Fixed Rate and/or fees payable with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Extending Lenders and the payment of additional fees or other consideration to the Extending Lenders, and/or (iii) change such additional terms and conditions of this Agreement solely as applicable to the Extending Lenders (such additional changed terms and conditions (to the extent not otherwise approved by the requisite Lenders under Section 14.1) to be effective only during the period following the original Tranche B-1 Term Loan Maturity Date, Tranche B-2 Term Loan Maturity Date and/or the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, as applicable, prior to its extension by such Extending Lenders) (collectively, “Permitted Amendments”) pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 3 Business Days after the date of such notice). To the extent not otherwise approved by the requisite Lenders under Section 14.1, Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the Extension Offer (such Lenders, the “Extending Lenders”) and, in the case of any Extending Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. The Borrower, each other Credit Party and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an extension amendment to this Agreement (an “Extension Amendment”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof, including that the Loans and/or Commitments of the Extending Lenders may be designated a separate Series or Class or an increase to an existing Series or Class. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of the Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of the Extension Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Extending Lenders as to which such Lenders’ acceptance has been made.

-61-

(b) Any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, made to effect any Permitted Amendment that by its express terms amends or modifies the rights or duties under this Agreement or such other Credit Document of one or more Classes of Lenders (but not of one or more other Classes of Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing signed by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the applicable Credit Party, as the case may be, and the requisite percentage in interest of each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under Section 14.1 as if all such affected Classes of Lenders were the only Lenders hereunder at the time.

(c) This Section shall supersede any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 14.1, it being understood, however, that nothing in this Section shall impair or limit the effectiveness of any amendment effectuated in accordance with Section 14.1 (including, without limitation, any amendment effectuated simultaneously with any Permitted Amendment).

(d) If any Extension Amendment after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date applies to Tranche B-2 Term Loans (such Loans, “Extended Tranche B-2 Term Loans” ) and if the Applicable ABR Margin or Applicable LIBOR Margin for such Extended Tranche B-2 Term Loans is greater than the Applicable ABR Margin or Applicable LIBOR Margin for the Tranche B-3 Term Loans by more than 50 basis points, then such Applicable ABR Margin or Applicable LIBOR Margin for the Tranche B-3 Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Applicable ABR Margin or Applicable LIBOR Margin for the Extended Tranche B-2 Term Loans is 50 basis points higher than the Applicable ABR Margin or Applicable LIBOR Margin for the Tranche B-3 Term Loans; provided, further, that in determining the Applicable ABR Margin or Applicable LIBOR Margin applicable to the Tranche B-3 Term Loans and the Extended Tranche B-2 Term Loans, (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders of the Tranche B-3 Term Loans or the Extended Tranche B-2 Term Loans in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity) and (y) any underwriting or arrangement fees payable to the arrangers or their Affiliates in connection with the Tranche B-3 Term Loans and Extended Tranche B-2 Term Loans shall be excluded.

2.16. XXXX Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the making, increasing, extension or renewal of any Loans pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance compliance in accordance with Section 9.3(c) hereto and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

SECTION 3. Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date and prior to the L/C Maturity Date, the Borrower may request that the Letter of Credit Issuer issue for the account of the Borrower (i) a standby letter of credit or letters of credit in Dollars or Euros, (ii) a sight trade letter of credit or letters of credit in Dollars or Euros or (iii) for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of any creditor of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries located outside the United States, a bank guarantee or bank guarantees (collectively, the “Letters of Credit” and each, a “Letter of Credit”), in each case in such form as may be approved by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its reasonable discretion.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letters of Credit Outstanding at such time, would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment then in effect; (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would cause the aggregate amount of the Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposures at such time to exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect; (iii) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date occurring no later than one year after the date of issuance

-62-

(d) The parties hereto agree that, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed Letters of Credit for all purposes under this Agreement, without any further action by the Borrower.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.1, a Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i) any Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment is a Defaulting Lender at such time, unless such Letter of Credit Issuer has entered into arrangement reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Letter of Credit Issuer’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by such Defaulting Lender (which may include, without limitation, Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Letters of Credit Outstanding);

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

(iii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Letter of Credit Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.

3.2. Letter of Credit Requests.

(a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, it shall give the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer at least five (or such lesser number as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer) Business Days’ written notice thereof. Each notice shall be executed by the Borrower and shall be in the form of Exhibit H hereto (each a “Letter of Credit Request”).

(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.1(b).

3.3. Letter of Credit Participations.

(a) Immediately upon the issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Lender that has a Revolving Credit Commitment (each such other Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3, an “L/C Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in such Letter of Credit (on a pro rata basis between such Lender’s Tranche R-1 Revolving Credit Commitments and Tranche R-2 Revolving Credit Commitments), each substitute letter of credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto (although Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Participants as provided in Section 4.1(b) and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Fronting Fees).

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation relative to the L/C Participants other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

(c) In the event that the Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount in full to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable L/C Participant of such failure, and each such L/C Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in the Dollar Equivalent (on a pro rata basis between such Lender’s Tranche R-1 Revolving Credit Commitments and Tranche R-2 Revolving Credit Commitments); provided, however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer. If the Letter of Credit Issuer so notifies, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, any L/C Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such L/C Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any such payment.

(d) The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including under any of the following circumstances:

-64-

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

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

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

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

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

provided, however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(e) If the maturity date in respect of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if consented to by the Letter of Credit Issuer which issued such Letter of Credit, if one or more other Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the maturity date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 3.3) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-terminating Classes up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 3.7. If, for any reason, such Cash Collateral is not provided or the reallocation does not occur, the Revolving Credit Lenders under the maturing Class shall continue to be responsible for their participating interests in the Letters of Credit. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) above, the occurrence of a maturity date with respect to a given Class of Revolving Credit Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Credit Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before such maturity date. Commencing with the maturity date of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Lenders under the non-terminating Classes. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything contained herein, the commitment of any Letter of Credit Issuer to act in its capacity as such cannot be extended beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or increased without its prior written consent.

3.4. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

(a) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer in such Foreign Currency, unless (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified the Letter of Credit Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination

-65-

thereof. The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer, to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for any payment or disbursement made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) immediately after, and in any event on the date of, such payment, with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date the Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable ABR Margin plus the ABR Rate as in effect from time to time; provided that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such drawing that the Borrower intends to reimburse the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing requesting that, with respect to Letters of Credit, that the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments make Revolving Credit Loans (which shall be ABR Loans) and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant L/C Participant of such drawing and the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each L/C Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Revolving Credit Loan (on a pro rata basis between such Lender’s Tranche R-1 Revolving Credit Commitments and Tranche R-2 Revolving Credit Commitments) to the Borrower in the manner deemed to have been requested in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such Business Day by making the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent. Such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made without regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount. The Administrative Agent shall use the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans solely for purpose of reimbursing the Letter of Credit Issuer for the related Unpaid Drawing.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.4 to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including in its capacity as an L/C Participant), including any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under the Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer.

3.5. Increased Costs. If, after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or actual compliance by the Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant with any request or directive made or adopted after the Closing Date (whether or not having the force of law), by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (a) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, or any L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, or (b) impose on the Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant any other conditions affecting its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein or any Letter of Credit or such L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant hereunder (other than any such increase or reduction attributable to Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4 and Excluded Taxes) in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein, then, promptly after receipt of written demand to the Borrower by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which notice shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent (with respect to Letter of Credit issued on account of the Borrower)), the Borrower shall pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that the Letter of Credit Issuer or a L/C Participant shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Person’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Closing Date. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer or a L/C Participant, as the case may be

-66-

(a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent (with respect to Letters of Credit issued on account of the Borrower)), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. It is understood that, to the extent duplicative of Section 5.4, this Section 3.5 shall not apply to Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.5 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy issued in connection with the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the United States financial regulatory authorities (including regulations implementing the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements), regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

3.6. Successor Letter of Credit Issuer. A Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as Letter of Credit Issuer upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Letter of Credit Issuer shall resign as Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Borrower shall appoint from among the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments a successor issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the term “Letter of Credit Issuer” shall mean such successor issuer effective upon such appointment. At the time such resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay to the resigning Letter of Credit Issuer all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Sections 4.1(c) and (d). The acceptance of any appointment as the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. After the resignation of the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the resigning Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. After any retiring Letter of Credit Issuer’s resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (a) while it was Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (b) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.

3.7. Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer (i) if the Letter of Credit Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an Unpaid Drawing that has not been reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.4(a) (including by means of a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans as set forth therein), or (ii) if, as of the L/C Maturity Date, any Letter of Credit Outstanding for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Letters of Credit Outstanding of all Letters of Credit Outstanding. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, and if the reallocation described in Section 3.8(a)(iv) cannot, or can only be partially effected, the Borrower shall within three Business Days following the request of the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 3.8(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Letters of Credit Outstanding of all Letters of Credit Outstanding, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Letters of Credit Outstanding over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative 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 laws, to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders

-67-

(including the Swingline Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 3.7(c). 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 as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender 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.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 3.7 or Sections 2.1, 3.8, 5.2 or 12 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letters of Credit Outstanding, Swingline Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 14.6(b)(vii))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Credit Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

3.8. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 14.1.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 12 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 14.8), 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 that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of

-68-

that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that 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 Unpaid Drawings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or Unpaid Drawings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Unpaid Drawings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Unpaid Drawings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. 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 3.8(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 4.1(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 4.1(b).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans pursuant to Sections 2.1(c) and 5, the “Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage”, “Tranche R-1 Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage”, “Tranche R-1 Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage”, Tranche R-2 Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage” and “Tranche R-2 Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(b) are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at the time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time); and (iii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be 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 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 committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 3.8(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) Termination of Revolving Credit Commitments. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender on a non-pro rata basis upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

-69-

3.9. Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

3.10. Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

SECTION 4. Fees; Commitments.

4.1. Fees.

(a) (i) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of each Lender having a Revolving Credit Commitment (in each case pro rata according to the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of all such Lenders), a commitment fee for each day from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Final Date. Such commitment fee shall be payable in arrears (x) on the last day of each March, June, September and December (for the three-month period (or portion thereof) ended on such day for which no payment has been received) and (y) on the Final Date (for the period ended on such date for which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (x) above), and shall be computed for each day during such period at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day on the Available Commitments in effect on such day.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 4.1.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Letter of Credit Exposure, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding the termination date of such Letter of Credit computed at the per annum rate for each day equal to the Applicable LIBOR Margin for (i) with respect to any Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure allocated to such Lender’s Tranche R-1 Revolving Credit Commitment, Tranche R-1 Revolving Credit Loans and (i) with respect to any Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure allocated to such Lender’s Tranche R-2 Revolving Credit Commitment, Tranche R-2 Revolving Credit Loans and, in each case, minus 0.125% per annum on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Such Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the date upon which such Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall have been reduced to zero.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay directly to the Letter of Credit Issuer in Dollars, a fronting fee (the “Fronting Fee”) computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit computed at the rate of each day equal to 0.125% per annum on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Such Fronting Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the date upon which any Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall have been reduced to zero.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date to each Lender party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Term Loan, a closing fee (the “Closing Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.5% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loan made on the Closing Date. Such Closing Fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Closing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter and such Closing Fee shall be netted against Term Loans made by such Lender. The Borrower agrees to pay on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date to each Tranche B-3 Term Loan Lender party to this Agreement on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Tranche B-3 Term Loan Lender’s Tranche B-3 Term Loan, a closing fee (the “Amendment No. 3 Closing Fee”) in an amount equal to

-70-

1.0% of the stated principal amount of such Tranche B-3 Term Loan Lender’s Tranche B-3 Term Loan made on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date. Such Amendment No. 3 Closing Fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable and will be paid in cash on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date and will be non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter.

(ix) Each of the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 5.1(c) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Administrative Agent such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate.

(b) Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. If on any date the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures of any Class (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings”) exceeds 100% of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class as then in effect, the Borrower shall forthwith repay on such date the principal amount of Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been paid in full, Revolving Credit Loans of such Class and/or Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit Outstanding (other than the Unpaid Drawings) in an amount equal to such excess.

In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

-79-

(e) Application to Revolving Credit Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans required by Section 5.2(b), the Borrower may designate (i) the Types and Class of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made and (ii) the Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid; provided that (w) LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans may be designated for prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.2 only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all LIBOR Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date of required prepayment and all ABR Loans have been paid in full; (x) if any prepayment by the Borrower of LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount for LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans, such Borrowing shall immediately be converted into ABR Loans; (y) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans; and (z) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (y), no prepayment made pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b) of Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans of any Defaulting Lender. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a corporate time deposit account established on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, earning interest at the then-customary rate for accounts of such type. Such deposit shall constitute Cash Collateral for the Obligations; provided that the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 5.2.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement (including, without limitation, in Section 14.1), the Borrower (x) with respect to Term Loans that are not Tranche B-4 Term Loans or Tranche B-5 Term Loans, shall have the option to, in its sole discretion, toand (y) with respect to Tranche B-4 Term Loans or Tranche B-5 Term Loans, shall, give the Lenders with outstanding Term Loans the option to waive their pro rata share of a mandatory repayment of Term Loans which is to be made pursuant to Section 5.2 (each such repayment, a “Waivable Mandatory Repayment”) upon the terms and provisions set forth in this Section 5.2(g) except for Debt Incurrence Prepayment Events for Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 10.1(A)(n) or 10.1(A)(u). IfIn the case of Tranche B-4 Term Loans and Tranche B-5 Term Loans, and if the Borrower elects to exercise the option referred to in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to outstanding Term Loans that are not Tranche B-4 Term Loans or Tranche B-5 Term Loans, the Borrower shall give to the Administrative Agent written notice of its intention to give the Lenders the right to waive a Waivable Mandatory Repayment (including in such notice, the aggregate amount of such proposed repayment) at least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed repayment, which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly forward to all Lenders with outstanding Term Loans (indicating in such notice the amount of such repayment to be applied to each such Lender’s outstanding Term Loans). The Borrower’s offer to permit the Lenders with outstanding Term Loans to waive any such Waivable Mandatory Repayment will apply to all of such repayment in the case of Tranche B-4 Term Loans and Tranche B-5 Term Loans, and may apply to all or part of such repayment in the case of outstanding Term Loans that are not Tranche B-4 Term Loans or Tranche B-5 Term Loans; provided that any offer to waive part of such repayment must be made ratably to the Lenders with outstanding Term Loans on the basis of their outstanding Term Loans. In the event that any such Lender with outstanding Term Loans desires to waive its pro rata share of such Lender’s right to receive any such Waivable Mandatory Repayment in whole or in part, such Lender shall so advise the Administrative Agent no later than 4:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date which is two Business Days after the date of such notice from the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower thereof), which notice shall also include the amount such Lender desires to receive in respect of such repayment. If any Lender with outstanding Term Loans does not reply to the Administrative Agent within such two Business Day period, such Lender will be deemed not to have waived any part of such repayment. If any Lender with outstanding Term Loans does not specify an amount it wishes to receive, such Lender will be deemed to have accepted 100% of its share of such repayment. In the event that any such Lender waives all or part of its share of any such Waivable Mandatory Repayment, the Borrower shall retain 100% of the amount so waived by such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, if one or more Lenders with outstanding Term

-80-

Loans waives its right to receive all or any part of any Waivable Mandatory Repayment, but less than all the Lenders with outstanding Term Loans waive in full their right to receive 100% of the total payment otherwise required with respect to the Term Loans, then the amount actually applied to the repayment of Term Loans of Lenders which have waived all or any part of their right to receive 100% of such repayment, shall be applied to each then outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (so that each Lender with outstanding Term Loans shall, after giving effect to the application of the respective repayment, maintain the same percentage (as determined for such Lender, but not the same percentage that the other Lenders with outstanding Term Loans hold and not the same percentage held by such Lender prior to repayment) of each Borrowing of Term Loans which remains outstanding after giving effect to such application); provided that the Borrower shall not be required to so apply any amounts waived by Lenders of Tranche B-4 Term Loans and Tranche B-5 Term Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Lenders shall not have the right to waive mandatory repayments under Section 5.2(a) except as set forth in this Section 5.2(g).

(h) If on any date on which Dollar Equivalents are determined pursuant to Section 14.19(c), the Letters of Credit Outstanding with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Euros exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall, if such excess is greater than or equal to $500,000, pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such date an amount of cash equal to the amount by which such Letters of Credit Outstanding exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment, such cash and/or cash equivalents (i) to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) to be released to the Borrower from and after any date on which Dollar Equivalents are determined pursuant to Section 14.19(c) and on which the Letters of Credit Outstanding with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Euros are no longer in excess of, with respect to the any Letter of Credit Issuer, its applicable Letter of Credit Commitment as set forth in the definition of Letter of Credit Issuer.

5.3. Method and Place of Payment.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice to the Borrower, it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. All payments under each Credit Document (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) shall be made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.

(b) Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

5.4. Net Payments.

(a) Any and all payments made by or on behalf of any Credit Party under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if any Credit Party or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions and withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings

-81-

and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by any Credit Party, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt (or other evidence acceptable to such Lender, acting reasonably) received by the applicable Credit Party showing payment thereof.

(b) Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes.

(c) Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 15 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in a withholding tax imposed under the laws of Luxembourg with respect to any payments under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such properly completed and executed documentation as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation. To the extent it is legally entitled to do so, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to file or deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent any certificate or document, as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, that may be necessary to establish any available exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, any withholding taxes imposed by a jurisdiction other than Luxembourg; provided, however, that a Lender shall not be required to file or deliver any such certificate or document if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or delivery would be disadvantageous to such Lender or would subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost.

(e) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, the relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such taxes at the Borrower’s expense if so requested by the Borrower. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, receives a refund of a tax (in cash or applied as an offset against other cash tax liabilities) for which a payment has been made by any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by such Credit Party, then the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower for such amount (together with any interest received thereon) as the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking into account expenses or any taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the payment had not been required; provided that the Borrower shall return any such amounts (along with any applicable interest) to the extent that the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender is required to repay any such refund to the applicable taxing authority. A Lender or Administrative Agent shall claim any refund that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. Neither the Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Borrower in connection with this paragraph (e) or any other provision of this Section 5.4.

(f) The agreements in this Section 5.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

-82-

5.5. Computations of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest on (x) LIBOR Loans and Fixed Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and (y) ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

(b) Fees and Letters of Credit Outstanding shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

5.6. Limit on Rate of Interest.

(a) No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

(b) Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment which it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

(c) Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, 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 law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower.

In the event that the expiration and non-renewal of In-Orbit Insurance for such a Satellite (or portion, as applicable) resulting from a claim of loss under such policy causes a failure to comply with the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance with such proviso for the 120 days immediately following such expiration or non-renewal; provided that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, procures such In-Orbit Insurance or provides such In-Orbit Contingency Protection as necessary to comply with such proviso within such 120-day period. In the event of the unavailability of any In-Orbit Contingency Protection for any reason, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall, subject to the first proviso above, within 120 days of such unavailability, be required to have in effect In-Orbit Insurance complying with clause (ii) or (iii)

-93-

above, as applicable, with respect to all Satellites (or portions, as applicable), other than Excluded Satellites that the unavailable In-Orbit Contingency Protection was intended to protect and for so long as such In-Orbit Contingency Protection is unavailable; provided that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be considered in compliance with this insurance covenant for the 120 days immediately following such unavailability.

(b) The Borrower will, and the Borrower will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to at all times keep the respective property of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except (x) real or personal property leased or financed through third parties in accordance with this Agreement and (y) satellites) insured in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and all policies or certificates with respect to such insurance (and any general liability, umbrella liability coverage and workers’ compensation insurance (to the extent permitted by law) maintained by, or on behalf of, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower) (i) shall be endorsed to the Collateral Trustee’s reasonable satisfaction for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee (including, without limitation, by naming the Collateral Trustee as certificate holder, mortgagee and loss payee with respect to real property, certificate holder and loss payee with respect to personal property, additional insured with respect to general liability and umbrella liability coverage and (to the extent permitted by law) certificate holder with respect to workers’ compensation insurance), (ii) shall state that such insurance policies shall not be cancelled or materially changed without at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof by the respective insurer to the Collateral Trustee; provided that with respect to any launch insurance or In-Orbit Insurance, such notice is available, and if available, on such terms as may be available, and (iii) shall, upon the request of the Collateral Trustee, be deposited with the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the lender or collateral agent with respect to any ECA Financing may be named as additional insured, mortgagee or loss payee with respect to any insurance covering ECA Collateral which insurance shall not be required to be in accordance with or subject to the terms of this Section 9.3.

(c) If any portion of any Mortgaged Property is at any time located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency) as a Special Flood Hazard Area with respect to which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (as now or hereafter in effect or successor act thereto), then the Borrower shall, or shall cause each Credit Party to (i) maintain, or cause to be maintained, with a financially sound and reputable insurer, flood insurance in an amount and otherwise sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Flood Insurance Laws and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such compliance in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(d) If the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall fail to maintain all insurance in accordance with this Section 9.3, or if the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall fail to so name the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as an additional insured, mortgagee or loss payee, as the case may be, or so deposit all certificates with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but shall be under no obligation), upon reasonable prior notice to the Borrower of its intention to do so, to procure such insurance on such terms and against such risks as are required hereby, and the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any premium paid therefor.

9.4. Payment of Taxes. The Borrower will pay and discharge, and the Borrower will cause each of the Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all material Taxes imposed upon it or upon its income or profits, or upon any properties belonging to it, prior to the date on which material penalties attach thereto, and all lawful material claims that, if unpaid, could reasonably be expected to become a material Lien upon any properties of the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that none of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any such Tax or claim that is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings if it has maintained adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment of the management of the Borrower) with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and the failure to pay could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

9.5. Consolidated Corporate Franchises. The Borrower will do, and the Borrower will cause each Material Subsidiary to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, corporate rights and authority, except to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may consummate any transaction permitted under Section 10.3, 10.4 or 10.5.

-94-

9.6. Compliance with Statutes, Regulations, etc. The Borrower will, and the Borrower will cause each Subsidiary to, comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to it or its property (including all FCC Licenses and all other governmental approvals or authorizations required to launch and operate the Satellites and the TT&C Stations related thereto) and to transmit signals to and receive transmissions from the Satellites, and to maintain all such FCC Licenses and other governmental approvals or authorizations in full force and effect, in each case except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (it being understood that any failure as it may relate to any FCC License for a Satellite that is yet to be launched shall not, in itself, be considered or deemed to result in a Material Adverse Effect).

9.7. ERISA. Promptly after the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate knows or has reason to know of the occurrence of any of the following events that, individually or in the aggregate (including in the aggregate such events previously disclosed or exempt from disclosure hereunder, to the extent the liability therefor remains outstanding), would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower will deliver to each of the Lenders a certificate of an Authorized Officer or any other senior officer of the Borrower setting forth details as to such occurrence and the action, if any, that the Borrower, such Subsidiary or such ERISA Affiliate is required or proposes to take, together with any notices (required, proposed or otherwise) given to or filed with or by the Borrower, such Subsidiary, such ERISA Affiliate, the PBGC, a Plan participant (other than notices relating to an individual participant’s benefits) or the Plan administrator with respect thereto: that a Reportable Event has occurred; that a failure to satisfy the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Code has occurred or an application is to be made to the Secretary of the Treasury for a waiver or modification of the minimum funding standard (including any required installment payments) or an extension of any amortization period under Section 412 of the Code with respect to a Plan; that a Plan having an Unfunded Current Liability has been or is to be terminated, reorganized, partitioned or declared insolvent under Title IV of ERISA (including the giving of written notice thereof); that a Plan has an Unfunded Current Liability that has or will result in a lien under ERISA or the Code; that proceedings will be or have been instituted to terminate a Plan having an Unfunded Current Liability (including the giving of written notice thereof); that a proceeding has been instituted against the Borrower, a Subsidiary or an ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 515 of ERISA to collect a delinquent contribution to a Plan; that the PBGC has notified the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate of its intention to appoint a trustee to administer any Plan; that the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has failed to make a required installment or other payment pursuant to Section 412 of the Code with respect to a Plan; or that the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or will incur (or has been notified in writing that it will incur) any liability (including any contingent or secondary liability) to or on account of a Plan pursuant to Section 409, 502(i), 502(l), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201 or 4204 of ERISA or Section 4971 or 4975 of the Code.

The provisions of this Section are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer, and, except as provided under Section 13.6 and 13.11, neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

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

-114-

13.3. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

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

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law; and

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

(d) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 14.1 and 12) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

13.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

13.5. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and Collateral Trustee may perform any and all of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Trustee. The

-115-

Administrative Agent, Collateral Trustee and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 13 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Trustee and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent and Collateral Trustee.

13.6. Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Section 13 and Section 14.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender. Subject to the following sentence, upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender, (ii) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (iii) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if no successor Letter of Credit Issuer assumes the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer, the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be discharged or released from its obligations under such Letters of Credit and shall reaffirm its obligations under such Letters of Credit.

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

-116-

13.8. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Bookrunners, Joint Lead Arrangers, Co-Documentation Agents or Co-Syndication Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder.

13.9. 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 Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit 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

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letters of Credit Outstanding and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 4.1 and 14.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 4.1 and 14.5.

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 the Letter of Credit Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or in any such proceeding.

13.10. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 13.10 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

-117-

13.11. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank) and the Letter of Credit Issuer irrevocably authorize the Collateral Trustee, at its option and in its discretion or at the request of the Borrower,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Trustee under any Credit Document (i) upon termination of the aggregate Commitments of all the Lenders and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank of Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Credit Document to a Person that is not a Credit Party, (iii) that constitutes “Excluded Property” (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement), (iv) that is excluded pursuant to Section 9.15(b), or (v) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 14.1;

(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 10.1(A)(f).

Upon request by the Collateral Trustee at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Trustee’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee pursuant to this Section 13.11. In each case as specified in this Section 13.11, the Collateral Trustee will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents and this Section 13.11; provided that such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of) all interests retained by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any foreclosure or similar enforcement action with respect to any of the Collateral, the Collateral Trustee shall be authorized to deduct all of the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Collateral Trustee from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.

13.12. Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in the Guarantee or any Security Document, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of the Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guarantee or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

13.13. U.K. Security Documents. Section 1 of the Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to the duties of the Collateral Trustee in relation to the trusts constituted by the U.K. Pledge Agreement and the U.K. Security Agreement. Where there are any inconsistencies between the Trustee Xxx 0000 or the Trustee Xxx 0000 and the provisions of this Agreement and those of the U.K. Pledge Agreement and the U.K. Security Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement and those of the U.K. Pledge Agreement and the U.K. Security Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by law, prevail, and in the case of any inconsistency with the Trustee Xxx 0000, the provisions of this Agreement and those of the U.K. Pledge Agreement and the U.K. Security Agreement shall constitute a restriction or exclusion for the purposes of that Act.

-118-

13.14. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, 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 5.4, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 15 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 Internal Revenue Service 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 Credit Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 13.14. The agreements in this Section 13.14 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 Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, a “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 13.14, include a Letter of Credit Issuer and a Swingline Lender.

(E) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit P hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment Agreement”);

provided that no such assignment to an Affiliated Lender pursuant to this Section 14.6(b) shall be permitted if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(iii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or, in the case of a Term Loan Commitment or Term Loan, $1,000,000), and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 12.1 or Section 12.5 has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;

(B) 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; provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments to or from two or more Approved Funds; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”).

For the purpose of this Section 14.6(b), the term “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered, advised 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.

(iv) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(vi) of this Section 14.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance but subject to paragraph (b)(viii) of this Section 14.6, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.5, 5.4 and 14.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 14.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 14.6.

-125-

(v) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, the Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Letter of Credit Issuer and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(vi) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 14.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 14.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

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

(viii) An assignee Lender shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or 5.4 in respect of Luxembourg Taxes than the applicable assignor Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the Loan sold to the assignee Lender, unless either (1) the assignment of such Loan to such assignee Lender is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or (2) such greater payment under Section 2.10 or 5.4 arises solely as the result of a Change in Law following the date on which the assignee becomes a Lender hereunder.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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

-126-

or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 14.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 14.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the requirements of those Sections) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 14.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 14.8(b) as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 14.8(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or 5.4 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 the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 14.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment, the Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after the Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 or K-2, as the case may be, evidencing the Tranche B-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-2 Term Loans, Tranche B-3 Term Loans, Tranche B-4 Term Loans, Tranche B-5 Term Loans and Incremental Tranche B Term Loans, and Revolving Credit Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, respectively, owing to such Lender.

(e) Subject to Section 14.16, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

(f) Each of Holdings and the Credit Parties which are incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg expressly accepts and confirms for the purposes of articles 1278 to 1281 of the Luxembourg civil code that, notwithstanding any assignment, transfer and/or novation made pursuant to this Agreement, the guarantee given by it guarantees all Obligations (including without limitation, all obligations with respect to all rights and/or obligations so assigned, transferred or novated) and that any security interest created under any Security Document to which it is a party shall be preserved for the benefit of any successor and assign of the Lenders, Administrative Agent and/or Secured Parties.

14.7. Replacements of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

(a) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement bank or other financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts (other than any disputed amounts), pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be) owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

-127-

(b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 14.1 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default other than an Event of Default relating to the proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination at issue then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by deeming such Non-Consenting Lender to have assigned its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 14.6.

14.8. Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 12.5, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.8 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off. The rights of each Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

14.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

14.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 15. Holdings Guarantee.

15.1. The Holdings Guarantee. In order to induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder, to induce Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates to enter into the Hedge Agreements, and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by Holdings from the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit, and the entering into of Hedge Agreements, Holdings hereby agrees with the Secured Parties as follows: Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Obligations of the Credit Parties to the Secured Parties. If any or all of the Obligations of the Credit Parties to the Secured Parties becomes due and payable hereunder, Holdings irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Secured Parties, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Secured Parties in collecting any of the Obligations. This Holdings Guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. If claim is ever made upon any Secured Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected in good faith by such payee with any such claimant (including any Credit Party), then and in such event Holdings agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it, notwithstanding any revocation of this Holdings Guarantee or other instrument evidencing any liability of the Credit Parties, and Holdings shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee. For the avoidance of doubt, Holdings expressly accepts and confirms for the purposes of articles 1278 to 1281 of the Luxembourg civil code that, notwithstanding any assignment, transfer and/or novation made pursuant to this Agreement, the guarantee given by it guarantees all Obligations (including without limitation, all obligations with respect to all rights and/or obligations so assigned, transferred or novated) and that any security interest created under any Security Document to which it is a party shall be preserved for the benefit of any new Secured Party.

15.2. Bankruptcy. Additionally, Holdings unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Obligations of the Credit Parties to the Secured Parties whether or not due or payable by any Credit Party upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 12.5, and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Secured Parties, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

15.3. Nature of Liability.

(a) The liability of Holdings hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Obligations of the Credit Parties whether executed by any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of Holdings hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (i) any direction as to application of payment by

any Credit Party or by any other party, or (ii) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Obligations of the Credit Parties, or (iii) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (iv) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Credit Party, or (v) any payment made to any Secured Party on the Obligations which any such Secured Party repays to any Credit Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and Holdings waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (vi) the lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or any instrument relating thereto.

(b) The liability of Holdings shall not be affected nor shall this Holdings Guarantee be discharged or reduced by reason of:

(i) the incapacity or any change in the name, style or constitution of any Credit Party or any other person liable;

(ii) the Administrative Agent granting any time, indulgence or concession to, or compounding with, discharging, releasing or varying the liability of, any Credit Party or any other person liable or renewing, determining, varying or increasing any accommodation, facility or transaction or otherwise dealing with the same in any manner whatsoever or concurring in, accepting or varying any compromise, arrangement or settlement or omitting to claim or enforce payment from any Credit Party or any other person liable;

(iii) any novation of any Credit Document or other document governing any Obligation (including, without limitation, any novation arising on the amalgamation of companies);

(iv) any act or omission which would not have discharged or affected the liability of Holdings had it been a principal debtor instead of a guarantor or by anything done or omitted which but for this provision might operate to exonerate or discharge Holdings; or

(v) any similar circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defeasance of a guarantor generally.

15.4. Independent Obligations. The obligations of Holdings hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or any Credit Party, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Holdings whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or any Credit Party and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or any Credit Party be joined in any such action or actions. Holdings waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Credit Party or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Credit Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to Holdings.

15.5. Authorization. Holdings authorizes the Secured Parties without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the Holdings Guarantee herein made shall apply to the Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

-133-

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower, any other Credit Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, Credit Parties or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the Credit Parties to their respective creditors other than the Secured Parties;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Credit Party to the Secured Parties regardless of what liability or liabilities of Holdings or the Credit Parties remain unpaid;

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements;

(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of Holdings from its liabilities under this Holdings Guarantee;

(i) release any collateral security for the Obligations; and/or

(j) change its corporate structure.

15.6. Reliance. It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Credit Parties or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

15.7. Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of the Credit Parties now or hereafter owing to Holdings is hereby subordinated to the Obligations of the Credit Parties owing to the Secured Parties; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of such Credit Parties to Holdings shall be collected, enforced and received by Holdings for the benefit of the Secured Parties and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties on account of the Obligations of such Credit Parties to the Secured Parties, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of Holdings under the other provisions of this Holdings Guarantee. Prior to the transfer by Holdings of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness of such Credit Parties to Holdings, Holdings shall xxxx such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holdings hereby agrees with the Secured Parties that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guarantee (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

15.8. Waivers.

(a) Holdings waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Secured Party to (i) proceed against any Credit Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Credit Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Secured Party’s power whatsoever. Holdings waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Credit Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full of the Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of any Credit Party, any other guarantor or any other party, or the

-134-

validity, legality or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Credit Parties other than payment in full of the Obligations. The Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by any Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Secured Parties may have against any Credit Party or any other party or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Holdings hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid. Holdings waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Secured Parties, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Holdings against any Credit Party or any other party or any security.

(b) Holdings waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Holdings Guarantee, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations. Holdings assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Credit Parties’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which Holdings assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Agents nor any Secured Party shall have any duty to advise Holdings of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c) Holdings warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

15.9. Maximum Liability. It is the desire and intent of Holdings and the Secured Parties that this Holdings Guarantee shall be enforced against Holdings to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of Holdings under this Holdings Guarantee shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of the Obligations of Holdings shall be deemed to be reduced and Holdings shall pay the maximum amount of the Obligations which would be permissible under applicable law.

15.10. Tax Matters. The provisions of Section 5.4 shall apply to Holdings as if it were a Credit Party.

15.11. Holdings Successor. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Holdings shall not (x) merge or consolidate with and into another Person or (y) transfer all or any portion of the capital stock of the Borrower to another Person (such surviving Person or transferee, the “Holdings Successor”), unless (i) in the case of a transaction of the type described in clause (x), the Holdings Successor shall re-affirm its obligations under the Luxembourg Share Pledge Agreement and (ii) in the case of a transaction of the type described in clause (y), the Holdings Successor shall enter into (A) a joinder hereto, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which it assumes and succeeds to the obligations of Holdings hereunder and (B) a joinder to the Luxembourg Share Pledge Agreement (or enters into another supplement or a new pledge agreement) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to effect a pledge of the capital stock of the Borrower to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon the consummation of a transaction described in clause (y) above involving the transfer of all of the capital stock of the Borrower, Holdings (as defined prior to the consummation of such Holdings Transactions, “Predecessor Holdings”) shall be released from the Holdings Guarantee and from all other covenants and obligations of Holdings under this Agreement and the Luxembourg Share Pledge Agreement and the Administrative Agent shall, and shall direct the Collateral Trustee to, at the Borrower’s expense, take all actions reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Predecessor Holdings to evidence such release.

15.12. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit 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:

-135-

(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 Credit 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.

-136-

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused a counterpart of this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
