1.6 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of Alternative Currency Revolving Loans or Alternative Currency Letters of Credit, as applicable, outstanding.

1.7 Additional Alternative Currencies.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time request that Alternative Currency Revolving Loans be made and/or Alternative Currency Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that, in the case of Alternative Currency Revolving Loans, such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and convertible into Dollars, and, in the case of Alternative Currency Letters of Credit, such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) and the Issuing Lender is willing to issue an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit in such currency. In the case of any such request with respect to (x) the making of Alternative Currency Revolving Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Alternative Currency Revolving Lenders, and (y) to the issuance of Alternative Currency Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender thereunder and, if the requested currency for such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is not freely transferable and convertible into Dollars, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender thereunder shall agree on the currency conversion between such requested currency and Dollars.

(c) Any failure by an Alternative Currency Revolving Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Alternative Currency Revolving Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to permit Alternative Currency Revolving Loans to be made or Alternative Currency Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Alternative Currency Revolving Lenders consent to making Alternative Currency Revolving Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Alternative Currency Revolving Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and an Issuing Lender consent to the issuance of Alternative Currency Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances by such consenting Issuing Lender.

1.8 Change of Currency.

(a) Each obligation of the Borrower to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the Closing Date shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Alternative Currency Revolving Loans in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Alternative Currency Revolving Loans, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

1.9 Certain Conditions, Calculations and Tests.

(a) In connection with any action being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:

(i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA (including, without limitation, tests measured

-51-

as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA), the Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, or any financial ratio (other than for purposes of any Applicable Margin); or

(ii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated Tangible Assets);

in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be (i) in the case of a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into, (ii) in the case of any redemption or repayment of Debt requiring irrevocable advance notice or any irrevocable offer to purchase Debt that is not subject to obtaining financing, the date of such irrevocable advance notice or irrevocable offer and (iii) in the case of any Restricted Payment, the date of the declaration, irrevocable advance notice or irrevocable offer of such Restricted Payment (each, an “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Measurement Period ended prior to the LCT Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such test, ratio or basket, such test, ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the tests, ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such test, ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such tests, baskets or ratios will be deemed not to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken; provided that if such ratios or baskets improve as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios and/or baskets may be utilized. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any test, ratio or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Debt or Liens, or the making of Investments, Restricted Payments, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Debt on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or, in the case of a Limited Condition Acquisition, the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such test, ratio or basket shall be tested by calculating the availability under such test, ratio or basket on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith have been consummated (including any incurrence of Debt and any associated Lien and the use of proceeds thereof).

In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Event of Default or Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Event of Default or Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into. If the Borrower has exercised its option under this Section 1.9, and any Event of Default or Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Event of Default or Default shall be deemed to not have

-52-

occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Leverage Ratio and/or Senior Secured Leverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with any such financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence.

1.10 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws) (a “Division”): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.

(c) If prior to the time an Alternative Currency Revolving Loan denominated in Dollars would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.7(b), one of the events described in Section 8.1(g) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Alternative Currency Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.7(b), each Alternative Currency Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Alternative Currency Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Alternative Currency Revolving Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Alternative Currency Revolving Loans.

(e) Each Alternative Currency Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Alternative Currency Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5; (iii) any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Alternative Currency Revolving Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(f) If the Maturity Date shall have occurred in respect of any tranche of Alternative Currency Revolving Commitments at a time when another tranche or tranches of Alternative Currency Revolving Commitments is or are in effect with a longer Maturity Date, then on the earliest occurring

Maturity Date all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full (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 Alternative Currency Revolving Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 3.11), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Revolving Commitments that are the Alternative Currency Revolving Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant to such Extended Revolving Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of such Maturity Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the Swingline Participation Amounts of each Alternative Currency Revolving Lender that is an Extending Revolving Lender and such outstanding Swingline Loans shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the relevant Extended Revolving Commitments, and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such earliest Maturity Date.

2.8 Commitment Fees, etc.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Dollar Revolving Commitment and/or Available Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date and on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Facility.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(c) The Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Applicable Participant in accordance with its Alternative Currency Revolving Percentage or Dollar Revolving Percentage, as applicable, a fee for each Letter of Credit with respect to which it is an Applicable Participant equal to the product of (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn on such Letters of Credit and (ii) a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Facility, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(d) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses (including issuance fees) as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

(e) The Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date (w) to each Tranche A Term Lender party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Tranche A Term Lender’s Tranche A Term Loan, a funding fee in an amount agreed between such Tranche A Term Lender and the Borrower, (x) to each Tranche B Term Lender party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Tranche B Term Lender’s Tranche B Term Loan, a funding fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the stated principal amount of such Tranche B Term Lender’s Tranche B Term Loan funded on the Closing Date, (y) to each Dollar Revolving Lender party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, as compensation for the Dollar Revolving Commitment of such Dollar Revolving Lender, a commitment fee in the amount agreed between such Dollar Revolving Lender and the Borrower and (z) to each Alternative Currency Revolving Lender party to this Agreement on the

(f) All fees payable hereunder (subject to Section 2.26) shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Lender, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(g) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche A Term Lender a ticking fee (the “Ticking Fee”) in dollars at a rate per annum equal to the then applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the undrawn portion of the Tranche A Term Commitments, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter of each year and on the Tranche A Term Commitment Expiration Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, calculated based upon the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year, accruing beginning on the Closing Date to but excluding the Tranche A Term Commitment Expiration Date. The Ticking Fee shall be distributed to the Tranche A Term Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Tranche A Term Lender’s Tranche A Term Commitment.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate, or from time to time to reduce the amount of, the Revolving Commitments under one or more Revolving Facilities; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, (i) the Total Alternative Currency Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Alternative Currency Revolving Commitments, (ii) the Total Dollar Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Dollar Revolving Commitments or (iii) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to (i) with respect to the Alternative Currency Revolving Commitments, $1,000,000, a whole multiple thereof, or the remaining aggregate amount of the Alternative Currency Revolving Commitments, and shall reduce permanently the Alternative Currency Revolving Commitments then in effect and (ii) with respect to the Dollar Revolving Commitments, $1,000,000, a whole multiple thereof, or the remaining aggregate amount of the Dollar Revolving Commitments, and shall reduce permanently the Dollar Revolving Commitments then in effect. The Revolving Commitment (other than any Extended Revolving Commitment) of each Revolving Lender shall automatically and permanently terminate on the Revolving Termination Date. On the respective Maturity Date applicable thereto, the Extended Revolving Commitment of each Extended Revolving Commitment shall automatically and permanently terminate.

(b) The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate, or from time to time to reduce the amount of, the Tranche A Term Commitments under the Tranche A Term Facility. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, a whole multiple thereof, or the remaining aggregate amount of the Tranche A Term Commitments, and shall reduce permanently the Tranche A Term Commitments then in effect. The Tranche A Term Commitments of each Tranche A Term Lender shall automatically and permanently terminate on the Tranche A Term Commitment Expiration Date.

2.10 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium (except as set forth in Section 2.11(h)) or penalty, upon notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, (i) three

-59-

Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars and (ii) four Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies (other than Dollars), and no later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment, the installment or installments of the respective Classes of the Loans to be repaid and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans (it being understood that the Borrower may elect to prepay one Class of Term Loans without prepaying another); provided that in the case of Swingline Loans notice may be given no later than 2:00 P.M. New York City time on the date of prepayment; and provided, further, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.20. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of a Class of Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Dollars) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of the Alternative Currency Equivalent of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of optional prepayment if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the applicable Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. Voluntary prepayments of any Class of Term Loans permitted hereunder shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal thereof (or to any anticipated mandatory prepayments under Section 2.11 specific in writing by the Borrower) in a manner determined at the discretion of the Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment and the Borrower may elect to apply voluntary prepayments of Term Loans to one or more Class or Classes of Term Loans selected by the Borrower. In the event that the Borrower does not specify the order in which to apply prepayments to reduce scheduled installments of principal or as between Classes of Term Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such proceeds be applied to reduce the scheduled installments of principal in direct order of maturity on a pro rata basis among the Classes of Term Loans.

2.11 Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.

(a) If any Redeemable Preferred Interests or Debt shall be issued or incurred by any Restricted Company (excluding any Debt or Redeemable Preferred Interests incurred in accordance with Section 7.2 (other than Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt) or Capital Stock issued in compliance with Section 7), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied within five Business Days of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(d).

(b) If on any date any Restricted Company shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event and such Net Cash Proceeds are not prohibited under any Requirements of Law to be distributed or otherwise transferred without the consent or approval of a Governmental Authority then, to the extent a Reinvestment Notice shall not have been delivered in respect thereof, an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within ten Business Days after the date that all post-closing adjustments associated therewith have been completed toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(d); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(d).

-60-

(c) If, for any Fiscal Year of the Borrower commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2020, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Commitments as set forth in Section 2.11(d), (A) the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow, minus (B) the sum of (i) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans (and Revolving Loans to the extent the applicable Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced by the amount of such payments) and any other prepayments of Permitted Other Debt, Permitted Refinancings and/or other Debt secured by Liens on the Collateral on a pari passu basis or senior basis to the Liens on the Collateral made during such Fiscal Year, plus (ii) the amount of cash consideration paid by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with Investments permitted by Section 7.6. Each such prepayment and commitment reduction shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than ten Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 6.1(b), for the Fiscal Year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Agents and the Lenders) and (ii) the date such financial statements are actually delivered; provided, however, that a prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall only be required in the amount (if any) by which such payment amount for the applicable Fiscal Year exceeds $25,000,000.

(d) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.17(b) and, second, to reduce the Swingline Loans and then Revolving Loans without a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments. The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 2.11 (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.11(d) or 2.17, with respect to the amount of any mandatory prepayment described in this Section 2.11 that is allocated to Tranche B Term Loans (such amount, the “Designated Prepayment Amount”), at any time when Tranche A Term Loans remain outstanding, the Borrower will give the Administrative Agent notice in writing of such mandatory prepayment at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment (each a “Mandatory Prepayment Date”). As promptly as practicable after receiving such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will send to each Tranche B Term Lender a notice, which shall be in the form of Exhibit G (each, a “Prepayment Option Notice”), and shall include the relevant Term Loans of such Lender by an amount equal to the portion of the Designated Prepayment Amount indicated in such Lender’s Prepayment Option Notice as being applicable to such Lender’s Tranche B Term Loans. On the Mandatory Prepayment Date, (i) the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Tranche B Term Lenders the aggregate amount necessary to prepay that portion of the outstanding relevant Term Loans as described above in respect of which such Lenders have accepted prepayment (it being understood that a failure to respond to a Prepayment Option Notice no later than 5:00 p.m. one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment shall be deemed an acceptance of the prepayment referenced therein) and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to the Tranche A Term Lenders an amount equal to the portion of the Designated Prepayment Amount not accepted by the relevant Lenders, and such amount shall be applied to the prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans; provided that if after the application of amounts pursuant to clause (ii), any portion of the Designated Prepayment Amount not accepted by the Tranche B Term Lenders shall remain, such amount shall be used to prepay the Tranche B Term Loans on a pro rata basis.

(f) Revolving Loan Prepayments.

(g) [Reserved].

(h) In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, the Borrower (x) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Tranche B Term Loan pursuant to a

-62-

Repricing Transaction (including, for avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction), or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Tranche B Term Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loan so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Tranche B Term Loan outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

2.12 Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election pursuant to an Interest Election Request no later than 2:00 P.M., Local Time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date; provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans denominated in Dollars to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 2:00 P.M., Local Time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined by written notice in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. No Revolving Loan may be converted into or continued as a Revolving Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Revolving Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to an Interest Election Request, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the definition of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that the Borrower may not elect to continue a Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined by written notice in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso (i) if such Loans are denominated in Dollars, such shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period and (ii) if such Loans are denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Dollars), such Loans shall be automatically continued as Eurodollar Loans with an Interest Period of one month. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.13 Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to (i) with respect to Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) with respect to Eurodollar Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Dollars), the Alternative Currency Equivalent of $5,000,000 or a

-63-

whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than fifteen Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.14 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (b) or (g), if all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the rate then applicable to such Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%) and (ii) the actual rate applicable to such amount plus 2%, from the date of such non‑payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.14 shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.15 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurodollar Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.14(a).

-64-

2.16 Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

(a) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(i)the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(ii)the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (and until such notice is withdrawn), (w) any Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (x) any Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans, (y) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Dollars) shall be continued with an interest applicable thereto equal to the sum of (I) the Applicable Margin for such Eurodollar Loans and (II) the rate for each day during such Interest Period reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost of funds of representative participating members in the interbank eurodollar market selected by the Administrative Agent (which may include Lenders) for maintaining loans similar to the relevant Loans (provided that any change in the rate determined pursuant to this clause (II) shall be effective as of the opening of business on the effective day of any change in the relevant component of such rate). Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

(b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be made by notice to the Borrower and conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBOR Screen Rate), (x) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBOR Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR Screen Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time and to similarly situated borrowers, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to

-65-

this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders of any Class stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.16(b), only to the extent the LIBOR Screen Rate for the applicable currency and such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Loan to, or continuation of any Revolving Loan as, a Eurodollar Loan shall be ineffective, (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Loan, such borrowing shall be made as an ABR Revolving Loan and (z) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Loan shall be ineffective.

2.17 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Tranche A Term Percentages, Tranche B Term Percentages, Dollar Revolving Percentages or Alternative Currency Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders in the Class subject to reduction.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders (except (i) as otherwise provided in Section 2.11(e), (ii) that an optional prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10 need only be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans of the applicable Class being prepaid then held by the Term Lenders, (iii) any prepayment of Term Loans with the Net Cash Proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt shall be applied solely to each applicable Class of Refinanced Debt and (iv) any prepayment of Term Loans with the Net Cash Proceeds of Debt pursuant to Section 2.11(a) may be applied to a Class or Classes of Term Loans as directed by the Borrower). The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans, as the case may be, pro rata based upon the respective then remaining principal amounts thereof. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17(b), a Lender may, at its option, and if agreed by the Borrower, in connection with any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.11, exchange such Lender’s portion of the Term Loan to be repaid for Debt of the Borrower, in lieu of such Lender’s pro rata portion of such prepayment (and any such Term Loans so exchanged shall be deemed repaid for all purposes under the Loan Documents).

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the relevant Revolving Lenders.

(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office for the applicable currency, in the currency in which the applicable Loan was made and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment

hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to (i) with respect to borrowings under the Dollar Revolving Facility, ABR Loans under the Dollar Revolving Facility or (ii) with respect to borrowings under the Alternative Currency Revolving Facility, Eurodollar Loans under the Alternative Currency Revolving Facility, in each case, on demand, from the Borrower.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(g) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.5, Section 2.7(c), Section 3.4, Section 3.5 or Section 11.5(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) until such failure to make payment has been cured, hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

2.18 Requirements of Law.

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender or Issuing Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date:

(i) shall subject any Lender or Issuing Lender to any Taxes of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Excluded Taxes, Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or Issuing Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender or Issuing Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Lender, by an amount that such Lender or Issuing Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender or Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or Issuing Lender or any corporation Controlling such Lender or Issuing Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date (each, a “Change in Law”); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Change in Law,” regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

-68-

(c) Each request by a Lender or Issuing Lender for the payment of an additional amount under this Section 2.18 shall be accompanied by a certificate showing in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the allocation (which shall be reasonable) thereof. Such certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender or Issuing Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the change in law giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d) If at any time any Lender shall have determined that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has been made unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of a Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then such Lender shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly 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 the Borrower shall either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.18(d) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a ABR Loan, provided that, if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.18(d).

2.19 Taxes.

(a) All payments made by any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted by any applicable withholding agent from any amounts payable (which shall include withholdings or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.19) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document, (1) to the extent such withholding or deduction is on account of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the applicable Lender (or, in the case of payments made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent), after all withholding or deduction on account of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes have been made, interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, (2) the applicable withholding agent will make such withholdings or deductions, and (3) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower and the Guarantors shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, or the affected Lender, as applicable, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.19) paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or

-69-

with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other 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 (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.19, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) each Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) two duly executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form, and

(ii) each Lender that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non‑U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly executed original copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (ii) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit J (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, (iv) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY of the Lender, accompanied by U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY, W-9, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, and/or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and not a participating Lender), and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)), or (v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, or, in each case, any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non‑U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding Tax on any payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such documentation shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Lender shall deliver updated documentation

-70-

promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration, invalidity or inaccuracy of any documentation previously delivered by such Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer legally eligible to provide any previously delivered documentation to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.19, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 2.19(e) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by the Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.19(e).

(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by any Loan Party under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

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

(h) For purposes of this Section 2.19, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Lender and any Swingline Lender.

2.20 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) minus (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that

-71-

would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.21 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.18 or 2.19(a) 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 with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a).

2.22 Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), (b) is a Defaulting Lender or (c) is replaced pursuant to the third paragraph of Section 11.1 with a replacement 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) if applicable, prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall not have taken appropriate action under Section 2.21 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.20 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and by its execution of this Agreement each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent in executing any documents to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 2.22, (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), as the case may be, and (ix) 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.22 may only be utilized with respect to a replaced Lender in respect of any amendment to this Agreement after the Closing Date and prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date that constitutes a Repricing Transaction pursuant to Section 2.11(h) if such replaced Tranche B Term Lender is paid a fee equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of such Tranche B Term Lender’s Tranche B Term Loans being replaced and repaid.

-72-

2.23 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Revolving Termination Date (or with respect to any Revolving Loans outstanding with respect to an Extended Revolving Commitment, the Maturity Date applicable thereto), (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.3; provided that, to the extent specified in the respective Extension Offer, amortization payments with respect to Extended Term Loans for periods prior to the Tranche A Term Loan Maturity Date and the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, may be reduced (but not increased) and amortization payments required with respect to Extended Term Loans for periods after the Tranche A Term Loan Maturity Date and the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, shall be as specified in the respective Extension Offer and (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan in accordance with Section 2.6(b).

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

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

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

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.6) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

2.24 Increase in Commitments.

(a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time on one or more occasions request (x) prior to the Revolving Termination Date, an increase to the existing Revolving Commitments under one or more of the Revolving Facilities (“Increased Revolving Commitment”) and/or (y) the establishment of one or more new term loan Commitments (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) in an amount not less than $100,000,000 individually and in an amount not to exceed the sum of (A) the Shared Incremental Amount, (B) the amount of any optional prepayment of any Loan including any Loan under any Increased Revolving Commitment or Incremental Term Loan Commitment other than, in each case, incurred pursuant to clause (C) below in accordance with Section 2.10 (accompanied, to the extent such prepayments are of Loans under any Revolving Facility and/or any Increased Revolving Commitments, by a commitment reduction in the like amount under such Revolving Facility and/or Increased Revolving Commitment) and/or the amount of any permanent reduction of any

-73-

Revolving Commitment or Increased Revolving Commitment so long as, in the case of any such optional prepayment, such prepayment was not funded with the proceeds of a contemporaneous refinancing with new long-term Debt less the aggregate principal amount of all Increased Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments incurred or issued in reliance on clause (B) of this Section 2.24(a) and (C) an amount of Incremental Term Loans or Increased Revolving Commitments such that the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio is no more than 3.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of the Borrower for which financial statements are internally available, determined on the applicable date on which the new or increased Commitments shall become effective (each such date, an “Increase Effective Date”), after giving effect to any such incurrence on a Pro Forma Basis, and, in each case, with respect to any Increased Revolving Commitments, assuming a borrowing of the maximum amount of Loans available thereunder, and excluding the cash proceeds of any such Incremental Term Loans or Increased Revolving Commitments (provided that (I), for the avoidance of doubt, any Incremental Term Loans or Increased Revolving Commitments incurred or issued pursuant to clause (C) on any Increase Effective Date on which the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio test in this clause (C) is met shall remain authorized pursuant to clause (C) if such Senior Secured Leverage Ratio test is not met as of any subsequent date and (II) each Increased Revolving Commitment or Incremental Term Loan Commitment under this Section 2.24 shall be incurred under clause (C) if clause (C) is available at the time of such incurrence up to the maximum amount available, and any additional amounts incurred at any time that clause (C) is unavailable shall be incurred under clauses (A) and/or (B) and any simultaneous incurrence under clauses (A) and/or (B) shall not be given pro forma effect for purposes of determining the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio with respect to any incurrence under clause (C); provided further that:

(i) the condition set forth in Section 5.2(c) shall be satisfied; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower, to the extent the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans or Increased Revolving Commitments are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, this clause (a)(i) shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or other applicable “certain funds” conditionality limitations and “specified representations” provisions;

(ii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective Date; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower, to the extent the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans or Increased Revolving Commitments are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition (I) this clause (a)(ii) shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or other applicable “certain funds” conditionality limitations and “specified representations” provisions, in which case it shall only be a condition that no Default under clause (a), (b) or (g) of Section 8.1 shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom and (II) such Default may be tested in accordance with Section 1.9;

(iii) after giving pro forma effect to the borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective Date and to any change in Consolidated EBITDA and any increase in Debt resulting from the consummation of any acquisition permitted by this Agreement concurrently with such borrowings as of the date of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or (c) or in any subsequent delivery of financial information by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent prior to such time, the Borrower shall be in compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Section 7.16;

(iv) no existing Lender will be required to participate in any such increased or new Commitments without its consent;

(v) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.20 in connection with any adjustment of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.24(d); and

-74-

(vi) 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.

(b) The terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to the new Commitments shall be as follows:

(i) terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Increase Joinder, identical to (i) the Tranche B Term Loans (“Incremental Term B Loans”) or (ii) the Tranche A Term Loans (“Incremental Term A Loans”, and together with any Incremental Term B Loans, the “Incremental Term Loans”) (it being understood that Incremental Term Loans may be part of an existing Class of Term Loans); provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term A Loans shall not exceed (A) $750,000,000 plus (B) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of Tranche A Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date less (y) the amount of Tranche A Term Loans outstanding on the applicable Increase Effective Date;

(ii) any Loans made pursuant to Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Term Loans;

(iii) all terms and provisions (including Maturity Date) of Revolving Loans made pursuant to new Commitments shall be identical to the existing Revolving Loans; provided that in connection with any such new Commitments for additional Revolving Loans, the Borrower may pay to the Lenders providing such Commitments a fee in an amount not to exceed the highest upfront fee paid to Revolving Lenders of the applicable Revolving Facility on the Closing Date;

(iv) the weighted average life to maturity of all (x) Incremental Term B Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the existing Tranche B Term Loans and (y) Incremental Term A Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the existing Tranche A Term Loans;

(v) the maturity date of (x) all Incremental Term B Loans shall not be earlier than the latest Maturity Date with respect to the Tranche B Term Loans as then in effect and (y) all Incremental Term A Loans shall not be earlier than the latest Maturity Date with respect to the Tranche A Term Loans as then in effect; and

(vi) the interest rate margins for (x) the new Incremental Term A Loans shall be determined by Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and (y) the new Incremental Term B Loans shall be determined by Borrower and the applicable new Lenders; provided, however, prior to the date that is twelve months after the Closing Date, that the interest rate margins for the new Incremental Term B Loans, shall not be greater than the highest interest rate margins that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to any Tranche B Term Loans plus 50 basis points (and the interest rate margins applicable to the Tranche B Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary to achieve the foregoing); provided, further, that in determining the interest rate margins applicable to the existing Tranche B Term Loans, and the Incremental Term B Loans, as applicable, (x) original issue discount or upfront or similar fees (collectively, “OID”) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders of the existing Tranche B Term Loans or the Incremental Term B Loans in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to arrangers (or their respective affiliates) shall be excluded and (z) if the Incremental Term B Loans include an interest rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the Tranche B Term Loans, such increased amount shall be equated to interest rate margins for

-75-

purposes of determining whether an increase in the interest rate margins for the Tranche B Term Loans shall be required, to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the Tranche B Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate margins, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the Applicable Margin) applicable to the Tranche B Term Loans shall be increased by such increased amount.

The increased or new Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such increased or new Commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24.

(c) To the extent the Commitments being increased on the relevant Increase Effective Date are Revolving Commitments, then each of the Revolving Lenders having a Revolving Commitment under the applicable Revolving Facility prior to such Increase Effective Date (the “Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders”) shall assign to any Revolving Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Revolving Commitment under the applicable Revolving Facility on the Increase Effective Date (the “Post-Increase Revolving Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Revolving Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility (which purchases shall be deemed prepayments of such Revolving Loans for purposes of Section 2.20) and, in the case of Alternative Currency Revolving Commitments, participation interests in LC Obligations and Swingline Loans outstanding on such Increase Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility and, in the case of Alternative Currency Revolving Commitments, participation interests in LC Obligations and Swingline Loans will be held by Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders and Post-Increase Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility after giving effect to such Increased Revolving Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility.

(d) On any Increase Effective Date on which new Commitments for term loans under Incremental Term Loan Commitments are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Lender of such new Commitment shall make a new Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its new Commitment.

(e) The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from Section 10 hereof and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such Class of Term Loans or any such new Commitments.

2.25 Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Commitments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Term Loans with a like Maturity Date or Revolving Commitments with a like Maturity Date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Commitments with the same Maturity Date, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower may from time to time offer to extend the maturity date of any Term Loans

-76-

and/or Revolving Commitments under any Revolving Facility and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or such Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or such Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension,” and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a separate Class; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Commitments from the Class of Revolving Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity, the Revolving Commitment under any Revolving Facility of any Revolving Lender (an “Extending Revolving Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Commitment under such Revolving Facility (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the applicable original Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that (x) subject to the provisions of Section 2.7(f) and Section 3.10 to the extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a Maturity Date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments with a longer Maturity Date, all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Alternative Currency Revolving Lenders in accordance with their pro rata share of the Alternative Currency Revolving Facility (and except as provided in Section 2.7(f) or Section 3.10, without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Maturity Date with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued) and all borrowings under the Alternative Currency Revolving Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the non-extending Alternative Currency Revolving Commitments) and (y) at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Revolving Commitments) which have more than three different Maturity Dates, (iii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Class of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer, (iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date hereunder and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.3 for periods prior to the Tranche A Term Loan Maturity Date or the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, may not be increased, (v) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby, (vi) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (vii) if the aggregate principal amount of applicable Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or applicable Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which applicable Term Lenders or applicable Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer (as hereinafter provided) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of applicable Term Loans or applicable Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the applicable Term Loans or applicable Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of the applicable Term Lenders or applicable Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such

-77-

maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders or such Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer (as hereinafter provided), (viii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and (ix) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower. Following any such Extension Offer, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Lenders thereof, each of whom shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether or not to accept such Extension Offer.

(b) With respect to all Extensions accepted by the relevant Lenders and consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.25, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.10 and 2.11 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and which may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.25 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.17) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.25.

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.25. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders with respect to any matter contemplated by this Section 2.25(c) and, if either the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent seeks such advice or concurrence, it shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with the Borrower in accordance with any instructions actually received by such Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to refrain from entering into such amendments with the Borrower unless and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence; provided, however, that whether or not there has been a request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for any such advice or concurrence, all such amendments entered into with the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on the Lenders.

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.25.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.25 and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall have such Lender’s Commitment or Loans extended without the written consent of such Lender.

-78-

2.26 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender hereunder, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)    fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(a);

(b)    the Commitments and the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, the Required Lenders, or the Majority Facility Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.1); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification of a type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 11.1 that would apply to the Commitments or Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender with respect to the effectiveness of such waiver, amendment or modification with respect to the Commitments or Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender;

(c)    if any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)    unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any part of the Swingline Participation Amount and LC Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Alternative Currency Revolving Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Alternative Currency Revolving Extensions of Credit plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount and LC Obligations do not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Alternative Currency Revolving Commitments;

(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Participation Amount and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.10 for so long as such LC Obligations are outstanding;

(iii)    if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Percentage of the LC Obligations pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Percentage of the LC Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations are cash collateralized;

(iv)    if the LC Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.8(a) and Section 2.8(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Alternative Currency Revolving Percentages; and

(v)    if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then,

-79-

without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.8(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such LC Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d)    so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Obligations will be 100% covered by the Alternative Currency Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.26(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Alternative Currency Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.26(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the Closing Date and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Participation Amount and LC Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage.

2.27 Refinancing Amendments.

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain from any existing Lender or any other Person reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and, in the case of any Other Revolving Commitments, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender (any such existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Refinancing Lender”) Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt in respect of (a) all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans) or (b) all or any portion of the Revolving Commitments (including the corresponding portion of the Revolving Loans) under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (b) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Revolving Commitments (including the corresponding portion of the Other Revolving Loans)), in the form of (x) Other Term Loans or Other Term Loan Commitments in the case of clause (a) or (y) Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments in the case of clauses (a) and (b), in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt (i) will rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii) have such pricing, interest, fees, premiums and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Additional Refinancing Lenders

-80-

thereof, (iii) not be secured by any assets that do not constitute Collateral and (iv) except as permitted in clause (ii), will otherwise be treated hereunder no more materially favorably taken as a whole, including with respect to covenants and events of default, in the good faith determination of the Borrower than the Refinanced Debt; provided, further, that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt may provide for additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Additional Refinancing Lenders to the extent applicable only after the Latest Maturity Date as determined on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt is incurred or obtained.

(b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, to receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) customary legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt is provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.

(c) Each issuance of Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt under Section 2.27(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $25,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt incurred pursuant thereto and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.27, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment.

(b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any Applicable Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(c) All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be issued hereunder and shall constitute Letters of Credit subject to the terms hereof.

-82-

applicable, as of such date and (ii) the aggregate Total Alternative Currency Revolving Extensions of Credit or Total Dollar Revolving Extensions of Credit, as applicable, then outstanding.

3.3 Fees and Other Charges. The Borrower shall pay the fees specified in Section 2.8.

3.4 Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders, the Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Applicable Participant, and each Applicable Participant hereby acquires from the Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Percentage or Dollar Revolving Percentage, as applicable, of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, (x) each Alternative Currency Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Percentage of (i) each LC Disbursement in respect of any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit made by the Issuing Lender in Dollars and (ii) the Dollar Equivalent, using the Spot Rate on the date such payment is required, of each LC Disbursement in respect of any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit made by the Issuing Lender in an Alternative Currency other than Dollars and, in each case, not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 3.5, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason and (y) each Dollar Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Percentage of each LC Disbursement in respect of any Dollar Letter of Credit made by the Issuing Lender in Dollars and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 3.5, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Applicable Participant acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

3.5 Reimbursement. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent (for Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies, calculated using the Spot Rate when such payment is due), of such LC Disbursement, in Dollars, or at the option of the Borrower with respect to any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, in the applicable Alternative Currency other than Dollars to the extent such LC Disbursement is made in such Alternative Currency, in each case, not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.5 or 2.6 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Loan of the same Class denominated in Dollars that is an ABR Loan or Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan denominated in Dollars that is an ABR Loan or Swingline Loan. If the

-83-

Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Applicable Participant of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Percentage or Dollar Revolving Percentage, as applicable, thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Applicable Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Alternative Currency Revolving Percentage or Dollar Revolving Percentage, as applicable, of the Dollar Equivalent of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.5 (without regard to minimum amounts) and Section 2.17(e) with respect to Loans made by such Applicable Participant (and such Sections shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Applicable Participants), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Applicable Participants. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Applicable Participants have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Applicable Participants and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by an Applicable Participant pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 3.5 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

-84-

3.7 Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender and the Applicable Participants with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

3.8 Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Alternative Currency Revolving Loans denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency which are ABR Loans or Dollar Revolving Loans which are ABR Loans, as applicable; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 3.5, then Section 2.14(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Applicable Participant pursuant to Section 3.5 to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Applicable Participant to the extent of such payment.

3.9 Replacement of the Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time with another party eligible to become the Issuing Lender as provided herein, by written notice given by the Borrower (with the approval of the successor Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent) to the replaced Issuing Lender; provided that prior to such replacement all Letters of Credit issued by the replaced Issuing Lender are terminated or cash collateralized on terms satisfactory to the replaced Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Lender.

3.10 Cash Collateralization. (i) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Obligations representing greater than 50% of the total LC Obligations) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section, or (ii) if required by Section 2.26(d), on the Business Day the Borrower receives the notice contemplated by Section 2.26(c)(ii), the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an amount in cash equal to 103 % of the Dollar Equivalent of the LC Obligations as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 8.1(g). Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the

-85-

obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Obligations at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Obligations representing greater than 50% of the total LC Obligations), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, and any surplus remaining shall be returned to the Borrower after all Events of Default triggering such deposit cease to exist. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

3.11 Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Commitments. If the Maturity Date in respect of any Class of Alternative Currency Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit or any Class of Dollar Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Dollar Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other Classes of Revolving Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letter of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.5) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating Classes up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated and no Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency may be reallocated to Revolving Commitments that do not permit borrowings in such currency) 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 3.10. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the occurrence of a Maturity Date with respect to a given Class of Revolving Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Applicable Participants in any Letter of Credit issued before such Maturity Date.

fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (g) of this Section, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

8.2 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall be applied, in full or in part, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, promptly by the Collateral Agent as follows:

(a)    First, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, fees, commissions and taxes of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent in connection therewith and all amounts for which the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of any Loan Document, together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;

SECTION 9

THE AGENTS

9.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes such Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. With the exception of the second and fifth sentences of Section 9.6, the provisions of this Section are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement and any such intercreditor agreement is binding upon the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may effect any amendment or supplement to any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement that is for the purpose of adding the holders of Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt, or Permitted Second Priority Refinancing Debt or Permitted Other Debt permitted to be incurred under this Agreement, as expressly contemplated by the terms of such First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, such Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or such other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement, as applicable.

9.2 Rights as a Lender. Each Person serving as an 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 an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an 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 an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

(i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the

-126-

Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law; and

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

No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (x) 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 such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.1) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Lender.

No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the validity, perfection and priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents or the value or sufficiency of the Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

9.4 Reliance by Agent. Each 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. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In 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 Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each 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.

9.5 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all

-127-

of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent 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 Agent.

9.6 Resignation of Agent. Each Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender 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 Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the 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 (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through an Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 9 and Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

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

9.8 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookmanagers, arrangers, Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder.

9.9 Withholding Tax. 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

-128-

applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any 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), such Lender shall, within 10 days after written demand therefor, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Loan Parties pursuant to Section 2.19 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) from and against all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.9. The agreements in this Section 9.9 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 this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. For purposes of this Section 9.9, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Lender and any Swingline Lender.

9.10 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the

-129-

requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

SECTION 10

GUARANTEE

10.1 The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee, as a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, Borrower, and all other Secured Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Loan Party under or in respect of any Loan Document, Specified Swap Agreement, Specified Letter of Credit or Secured Cash Management Agreement, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”; provided that Guaranteed Obligations shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if Borrower or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

10.2 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 10.1 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the

-130-

occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Issuing Lender or any Lender or Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected;

(v) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.9;

(vi) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any Loan Party; or

(vii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto against any Loan Party.

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against Borrower or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time since the Closing Date there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

10.3 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 10 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Borrower or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

-131-

10.4 Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall not assert or exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 10.1, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Debt of any Loan Party permitted pursuant to Section 7.2(d) shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Secured Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany Note evidencing such Debt.

10.5 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.1 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.1) for purposes of Section 10.1, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 10.1.

10.6 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 10 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

10.7 Continuing Guarantee. Subject to Section 11.14, the guarantee in this Section 10 is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

10.8 General Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations. If in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer law or regulation, or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 10.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 10.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors.

10.9 Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, (x) all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor is sold or otherwise transferred (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a Person or Persons, none of which is Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary or (y) such Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, then such Transferred Guarantor or Excluded Subsidiary shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer or the Transferred Guarantor would qualify as an Excluded Subsidiary upon the consummation of such sale or transfer or upon becoming an Excluded Subsidiary, as applicable, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 11.5 hereof) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document and the pledge of such Capital Stock of such Transferred Guarantor to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be released, and the Collateral Agent shall take

-132-

such actions as are necessary to effect each such release in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents within no more than 30 days from notice to the Collateral Agent of such transfer.

10.10 Keepwell. Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the guaranty or the grant of the security interest hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in each case, by any Specified Loan Party, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under its guarantee and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 10 voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.10 shall remain in full force and effect until the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section 10.10 to constitute, and this Section 10.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Loans being included on a pro rata basis within Section 8.2 shall not be considered an alteration thereof), in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (but without requiring the consent of the Required Lenders); (ii) [reserved]; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders,” consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their guarantee under Section 10, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders (it being understood that lenders added pursuant to Section 2.24 or lenders under additional Classes of Term Loans or additional Loans under this Agreement consented to by the Required Lenders being included in such definition shall not be deemed to require the written consent of all Lenders); (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.17 without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of each Facility adversely affected thereby; (v) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Majority Facility Lenders” with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility; (vi) change the application of prepayments as among or between Facilities under Section 2.11(d), without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of each Facility that is being allocated a lesser prepayment as a result thereof (it being understood that if additional Classes of Term Loans or additional Loans under this Agreement consented to by the Required Lenders or additional Loans pursuant to Section 2.24 are made, such new Loans may be included on a pro rata basis in the various prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.11(d)); (vii) expressly change or waive any condition precedent in Section 5.2 to any borrowing under the Revolving Facility without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to the applicable Revolving Facility (but without requiring the consent of the Required Lenders); (viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; (ix) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.6 or 2.7 without the written consent of the Swingline Lender; (x) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without the written consent of the Issuing Lender; (xi) amend Section 1.7 or the definition of “Alternative Currency” without the written consent of each Alternative Currency Revolving Lender, or (xii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.1 without the written consent of each Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments to or waivers of any other terms or provisions relating solely to the Revolving Facility (including, without limitation, the waiver of conditions to borrowings, amendments and waivers related to pricing and other modifications affecting only the Revolving Facility, but not increases in the amount of Revolving Commitments) will require only the written approval of the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to the Revolving Facility (or each Revolving Lender to the extent the applicable amendment, waiver or modification would otherwise require more than the consent of the Required Lenders), the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender (if applicable pursuant to clause (x) of this paragraph), the Issuing Lender (if applicable pursuant to clause (xi) of this paragraph) and the Borrower.

Without the consent of any other Person, the applicable Loan Party or Parties and the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect, any security interest

-134-

for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Requirements of Law.

If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by this Section that requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected, the consent of more than 50% of the Lenders whose consent is required is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right to replace all, but not less than all, of such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (so long as all non-consenting Lenders are so replaced) with one or more Persons pursuant to Section 2.22 so long as at the time of such replacement each such new Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) solely with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as such term is defined below) to permit the refinancing of all or any portion of any Class of Term Loans outstanding as of the applicable date of determination (the “Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder (the “Replacement Term Loans”); provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans plus premiums, accrued interest, fees and expenses in connection therewith, (ii) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, unless any such higher Applicable Margin applies after the Maturity Date for the Refinanced Term Loans, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity and final maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity and final maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (without giving effect to nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of a prepayment of the applicable Refinanced Term Loans), (iv) the mandatory prepayment and optional prepayment provisions of the Replacement Term Loans shall not require more than pro rata payments and may permit optional prepayments and mandatory prepayments to be paid in respect of the Term Loans not constituting Refinanced Term Loans and (v) the covenants, events of default and guarantees shall be not materially more restrictive (taken as a whole) (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than the covenants, events of default and guarantees applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants, events of default and guarantees applicable to any period after the maturity date in respect of the Refinanced Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it (including as set forth in Section 11.2(d)); provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, Loan or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default under this Agreement or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications, collectively, the “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at [ ] or at such other e-mail address(es) provided to the Borrower from time to time or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the Administrative Agent shall require. In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan

-136-

Nothing in this Section 11.2 shall prejudice the right of the Agents, any Lender or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or as any such Agent shall require.

To the extent consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time, Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address(es) set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents; provided that the Borrower shall also deliver to the Administrative Agent an executed original of each Compliance Certificate required to be delivered hereunder.

Each Loan Party further agrees that Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Internet, except to the extent the liability of such Person is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

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

11.4 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 11.5 and Section 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the

11.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the

-139-

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or a natural person) (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), 8.1(b) or 8.1(g) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person (other than a Disqualified Lender); provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C) the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender; provided that no consent of the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan.

(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 Facility;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided that the Administrative Agent may waive such fee in its sole discretion);

(D) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(E) the Assignee shall not be a natural person or Defaulting Lender.

-140-

For the purposes of this Section 11.6, the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“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 of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 11.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6 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.

(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and interest amounts) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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 Agents, the Borrower, the Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption 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 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.7(b) or (c), 2.17(e), 3.4, 3.5 or 11.5, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Disqualified Lender) (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

-141-

Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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 pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the second proviso to the third sentence of Section 11.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections, including Section 2.19(e)), and shall be subject to Section 2.21, to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section (provided that any documentation required to be provided pursuant to Section 2.19(e) shall be provided solely to the participating Lender). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan Party and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility to determine the compliance of any Lender with the requirements of this Section 11.6(c) (it being understood that each Lender shall be responsible for ensuring its own compliance with the requirements of this Section).

(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.18 or 2.19 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 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(iii)    Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a register on which it enters the names and addresses of each Participant and the principal amounts (and interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or similar central banking authority, and this Section 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.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the

Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6(b). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(f) The Borrower, at its sole expense and upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Note(s) to any Lender requiring Note(s) to facilitate transactions of the type described in this Section 11.6.

11.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, 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 8.1(g), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral 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 Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, if at any time any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates maintains one or more deposit accounts for the Borrower or any Guarantor into which Medicare and/or Medicaid receivables are deposited, such Lender or Issuing Lender or their applicable Affiliate hereby waives the right of setoff set forth herein.

11.8 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire

-143-

contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.9 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.

11.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

11.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF).

(a)    submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, New York County, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b)    consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same and agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law;

-144-

(c)    agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to it at its address set forth in Section 11.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d)    agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and

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

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 11.1) to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect of releasing any Collateral or any Guarantor (i), if such Person becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder or in accordance with Section 10.9; provided that, no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of the 2022 Senior Notes, 2024 Senior Notes, the 2025 Senior Notes, any Permitted Other Debt or any Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt, (ii) with (A) the sale of such Collateral, in each case, to a Person or Persons, none of which is the Borrower or a Guarantor, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents or (B) a transaction that has been consented to in accordance with Section 11.1 or (iii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below.

(b) At such time as the Loans, the LC Disbursements and the Obligations (other than obligations under or in respect of Swap Agreements) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and

For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

-146-

Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender and each of the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns in accordance herewith, and are not being provided for the benefit of any other Person (which other Person shall include, for this purpose, without limitation, any shareholder of any Loan Party).

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

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

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

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

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

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

11.21 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit

-147-

Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support

(b)    As used in this Section 11.21, the following terms have the following meanings:

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

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

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

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

(ii) if any Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to any Senior Indebtedness (including any Default under the Credit Agreement), then no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of the Payor or any other Person on its behalf with respect to this Note;

(iii) if any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than Restructured Debt Securities) and whether directly by purchase, redemption, setoff, recoupment or otherwise, in respect of this Note shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Payee in violation of the foregoing clause (i) or (ii) before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be promptly paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their representatives), ratably according to the respective aggregate amounts remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash;

(iv) Each Payee agrees to file all claims and proofs of claim against the Payor in any bankruptcy or other case or proceeding (including any case or proceedings referred to in clause (i) above) in which the filing of claims or proofs of claim is required by law or applicable court order in respect of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all of such Payee’s rights thereunder.  If for any reason a Payee fails to file such claim or proof of claim at least 10 Business Days prior to the last date on which such claim should or is required by applicable law or court order to be timely filed, such Payee hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such Payee’s name to file such claim or proof of claim or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause a proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee; and

The indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by any Payor that is not Borrower or a Guarantor shall not be subordinated to, and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with, any other obligation of such Payor.

Nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth above is intended to or will impair, as between each Payor and each Payee, the obligations of such Payor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Payee the principal of and interest on this Note as and when due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or will affect the relative rights of such Payee and other creditors of such Payor other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

Each Payee is hereby authorized to record all loans and advances made by it to any Payor (all of which shall be evidenced by this Note), and all repayments or prepayments thereof, in its books and records, such books and records constituting prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein.

Each Payor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note. All payments under this Note shall be made without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

Each Payee and each Payor hereby agree that the subordination provisions set forth in this Note are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties.

Upon delivery of such counterpart signature page to the Payees, notice of which is hereby waived by the other Payors, each Additional Party shall be a Payor and/or a Payee, as the case may be, and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Party were an original signatory hereof. Each Payor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Payor or Payee hereunder. This Note shall be fully effective as to any Payor or Payee that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Payor or Payee hereunder.

ARTICLE II Priorities and Agreements with Respect to Shared Collateral

(a)    Anything contained herein or in any of the Secured Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 1.03), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Controlling Collateral Agent or any First-Lien Secured Party is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Shared Collateral, or any distribution is made in respect of any Shared Collateral in any Bankruptcy Case of the Borrower or any other Grantor (including any adequate protection payments) or any First-Lien Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) with respect to any Shared Collateral, the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any such Collateral by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any First-Lien Secured Party on account of such enforcement of rights or remedies or received by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any First-Lien Secured Party pursuant to any such intercreditor agreement with respect to such Shared Collateral and proceeds of any such distribution (subject, in the case of any such distribution, to the sentence immediately following) to which the First-Lien Obligations are entitled under any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) (all proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Collateral and all proceeds of any such distribution being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), shall be applied (i) FIRST, to the payment of all amounts owing to each Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such) pursuant to the terms of any Secured Credit Document, (ii) SECOND, subject to Section 1.03, to the payment in full of the First-Lien Obligations of each Series on a ratable basis, with such Proceeds to be applied to the First-Lien Obligations of a given Series in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Credit Documents; provided that following the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of the Borrower or any other Grantor, solely as among the holders of First-Lien Obligations and solely for purposes of this clause (ii) and not any other debt facility for the applicable Series of First-Lien Obligations, in the event the value of the Shared Collateral is not sufficient for the entire amount of Post-Petition Interest on the First-Lien Obligations to be allowed under Section 506(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Bankruptcy Law in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the amount of First-Lien Obligations of each Series of First-Lien Obligations shall include only the maximum amount of Post-Petition Interest on the First-Lien Obligations allowable under Section 506(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Bankruptcy Law in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and (iii) THIRD, after Discharge of all First-Lien Obligations, to the Borrower and the other Grantors or their successors or assigns, as their interests may appear, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Q-9

recovery in trust for the benefit of all First-Lien Secured Parties for distribution in accordance with this Section 2.01(a).

Q-10

Authorized Representative) shall or shall instruct the Controlling Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), whether under any First-Lien Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Controlling Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and in accordance with the applicable Additional First-Lien Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Shared Collateral.

Q-12

Representative) shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any First-Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the First-Lien Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the First-Lien Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other First-Lien Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the First-Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the First-Lien Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any First-Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the First-Lien Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the First-Lien Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01, and (D) if any First-Lien Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.01; provided that this Agreement shall not limit the right of the First-Lien Secured Parties of each Series to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the First-Lien Secured Parties of such Series or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided, further, that the First-Lien Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other First-Lien Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such First-Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

Q-14

SECTION 3.01    Determinations with Respect to Amounts of Liens and Obligations. Whenever a Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any First-Lien Obligations of any Series, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the First-Lien Obligations of any Series, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by each other Authorized Representative or Collateral Agent and shall be entitled to make such determination or not make any determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if an Authorized Representative or a Collateral Agent shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Collateral Agent or Authorized Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Borrower. Each Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any First-Lien Secured Party or any other person as a result of such determination.

ARTICLE IV The Controlling Collateral Agent

ARTICLE 4.01    Authority.

(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed to impose any fiduciary or other duty on any Controlling Collateral Agent to any Non-Controlling Secured Party or give any Non-Controlling Secured Party the right to direct any Controlling Collateral Agent, except that each Controlling Collateral Agent shall be obligated to distribute proceeds of any Shared Collateral in accordance with Section 2.01 hereof.

(b)    In furtherance of the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Controlling Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the First-Lien Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the First-Lien Security Documents, as applicable, pursuant to which the Controlling Collateral Agent is the collateral agent for such Shared Collateral, without regard to any rights to which the Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled as a result of the First-Lien Obligations held by such Non-Controlling Secured Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First-Lien Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the First-Lien Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any First-Lien Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Except with respect to any actions expressly prohibited or required to be taken by this Agreement, each of the First-Lien Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against any Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative of any other Series of First-Lien Obligations or any other First-Lien Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which any Collateral Agent, Authorized Representative or the First-Lien Secured Parties take or omit to take (including, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to

Q-15

realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the First-Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the First-Lien Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the First-Lien Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the First-Lien Obligations, (ii) any election by any Applicable Authorized Representative or any holders of First-Lien Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Controlling Collateral Agent shall not accept any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any First-Lien Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each Authorized Representative representing holders of First-Lien Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral.

(ii)    the Borrower shall have (x) delivered to each Collateral Agent true and complete copies of each of the Additional First-Lien Documents relating to such Additional Senior Class Debt, certified as being true and correct by an authorized officer of the Borrower and (y) identified in a certificate of an authorized officer the obligations to be designated as Additional

Q-19

First-Lien Obligations and the initial aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof and certified that such obligations are permitted to be incurred and secured on a pari passu basis with the Lien securing the then extant First-Lien Obligations and by the terms of the then extant Secured Credit Documents;

(iii)    all filings, recordations and/or amendments or supplements to the First-Lien Security Documents necessary or desirable in the reasonable judgment of the Additional Senior Class Debt Representative to confirm and perfect the Liens securing the relevant obligations relating to such Additional Senior Class Debt shall have been made, executed and/or delivered (or, with respect to any such filings or recordations, acceptable provisions to perform such filings or recordations shall have been taken in the reasonable judgment of the Additional Senior Class Debt Representative), and all fees and taxes in connection therewith shall have been paid (or acceptable provisions to make such payments have been taken in the reasonable judgment of the Additional Senior Class Debt Representative); and
