If any Indebtedness or Liens securing Indebtedness are incurred to Refinance any existing Indebtedness or Liens securing Indebtedness, in each case, initially incurred in reliance on a basket measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA at the time of incurrence, and such Refinancing would cause the percentage of Consolidated EBITDA restriction to be exceeded if calculated based on the Consolidated EBITDA at the time of incurrence of such Refinancing, such percentage of Consolidated EBITDA restriction shall not be deemed to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Indebtedness or such Indebtedness secured by such Liens, as applicable, does not exceed the principal amount of the relevant existing Indebtedness or Indebtedness secured by such Liens, as applicable, being Refinanced, plus Indebtedness incurred to pay premiums, defeasance costs and fees and expenses in connection therewith.

(F) any Revolving Credit Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, if after giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv), any Fronting Exposure remains outstanding, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Fronting Exposure arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has Fronting Exposure.

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

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

(v) It is agreed that, in the case of a Letter of Credit that is a commercial letter of credit, such commercial letter of credit shall in no event provide for time drafts or bankers’ acceptances.

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

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period or later time as such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day not later than thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Facility, unless the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer otherwise agree); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the Person for whose account the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued (which must be the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof); and (H) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment and (4) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the event that any Letter of Credit Application includes representations and warranties, covenants and/or events of default that do not contain the materiality qualifiers, exceptions or thresholds that are applicable to the analogous provisions of this Agreement or other Loan Documents, or are otherwise more restrictive, the relevant qualifiers, exceptions and thresholds contained herein shall be incorporated therein or, to the extent more restrictive, shall be deemed for purposes of such Letter of Credit Application to be the same as the analogous provisions herein.

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

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer shall issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than one (1) Business Day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as applicable; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if such L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise).

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also (A) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment and (B) notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such issuance or amendment and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share therein.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Each L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower on the date of any payment by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), and the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing no later than on the next succeeding Business Day (and any reimbursement made on such next Business Day shall be taken into account in computing interest and fees in respect of any such Letter of Credit). If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer on such next Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Revolving Credit Facility). In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on such date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice); provided that, subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, Borrower may, at its option utilize the Swingline Loans, or may make other arrangements for payment satisfactory to the L/C Issuer, for reimbursement of all L/C Borrowings as required in this Section 2.03(c)(i). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a prompt confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer in an amount equal to its applicable Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans (and in the event there shall be more than one Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans, such Default Rate shall be determined based on the Tranche with the highest Default Rate). In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

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

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and a rate reasonably determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

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

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its applicable Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

provided that the foregoing shall not excuse the L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent provided in the second proviso to Section 2.03(f).

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to them and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower and any other account party shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claims against any L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

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

(g) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial letter of credit.

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share under the aggregate Revolving Credit Facility, a Letter of Credit fee which shall accrue for each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Applicable Rate then in effect for Eurodollar Rate Loans with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility associated with such Lender multiplied by the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit); provided, however, that any Letter of Credit fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Pro Rata Shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.19(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account (unless the Borrower has provided Cash Collateral, in which case such fee shall not be due and owing in respect of the portion of the Letter of Credit which has been Cash Collateralized by the Borrower). Such Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, in respect of the quarterly period then ending (or portion thereof, in the case of the first and last payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to an L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee at a rate equal to the greater of (x) $500 per annum and (y) 0.125% per annum (or such lower amount as may be mutually agreed by the Borrower and the applicable L/C Issuer), computed on the maximum daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December in respect of the quarterly period then ending (or portion thereof, in the case of the first and last payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the maximum daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.08. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect and agreed by the Borrower and such L/C Issuer. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within five (5) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.

(j) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

(k) Reporting. To the extent that any Letters of Credit are issued by an L/C Issuer other than the Administrative Agent, each such L/C Issuer shall furnish to the Administrative Agent a report detailing the daily L/C Obligations outstanding under all Letters of Credit issued by it, such report to be in a form and at reporting intervals as shall be agreed between the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer; provided that in no event shall such reports be furnished at intervals greater than 31 days.

(l) Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. If the Maturity Date in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other Tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect, each unexpired Letter of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 2.03) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of each such non-terminating Tranches up to an aggregate amount for any such Tranche not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and to the extent any unexpired Letters of Credit are not able to be reallocated pursuant to this clause (i) and there are outstanding Revolving Credit Loans under any non-terminating Tranche, the Borrower agrees to repay, ratably with respect to any such Tranche, all such Revolving Credit Loans (or such lesser amount as is necessary to enable a reallocation of all unexpired Letters of Credit pursuant to this clause (i)) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer but only up to the amount of such Letter of Credit not so reallocated. 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 Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Credit Lenders of any other Tranche in any Letter of Credit issued before such Maturity Date.

Section 2.04 Swingline Loans.

(a) Swingline Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender shall, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, make loans (each such loan, a “Swingline Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day until and excluding the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swingline Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swingline Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swingline Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Initial Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations and Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan and (iii) the Swingline Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swingline Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swingline Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby (and without the need for any further documentation) irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swingline Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Borrowing of Swingline Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum principal amount of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swingline Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swingline Lender of any telephonic Swingline Loan Notice, the Swingline Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swingline Loan Notice and, if not, the Swingline Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Swingline Loan (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the borrowing date specified in such Swingline Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swingline Loan available to the Borrower.

(i) If a Swingline Loan has not been repaid within five (5) Business Days of the date of incurrence thereof, the Swingline Lender shall request, on behalf of the Borrower (and the Borrower hereby irrevocably requests and authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice); provided that, after giving effect to such Loan, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility. The Swingline Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swingline Loan) for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary of Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). No such purchase or funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swingline Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swingline Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender.

Section 2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Optional.

(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit B, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the Business Day prior to the prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, the Tranche of Loans to be prepaid, the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans (except that if the Tranche of Loans to be prepaid includes both Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans, absent direction by the Borrower, the applicable prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount payable by the Borrower in respect of such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.05). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s ratable share of the relevant Tranche). If such notice is given by the Borrower, subject to clause (iii) below, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.19, each prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to each Tranche of Term Loans as the Borrower may direct, and shall be applied to the remaining amortization payments of such Tranche of Term Loans as directed by the Borrower (and absent any such direction, pro rata among all Tranches of Term Loans to the remaining amortization payments thereunder in direct order of maturity thereof), and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in the same Tranche on a pro rata basis; provided, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any such prepayment of Incremental Term Loans or Extended Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be accompanied by at least a pro rata prepayment of the Initial Term Loans. Any prepayment of a Revolving Credit Loan shall be applied pro rata among each Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding (provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any prepayment in connection with the termination of a Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments) and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in the same Tranche on a pro rata basis.

(ii) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swingline Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 (or, if less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. Subject to clause (iii) below, if such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may state that any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(iv) If the Borrower (A) makes a voluntary prepayment of any Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a) in connection with a Repricing Transaction, (B) makes a prepayment of Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii) in connection with a Repricing Transaction or (C) enters into any amendment of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of Repricing Transaction, in each case prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the applicable Term Lenders, a prepayment premium in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal amount prepaid or repriced.

(v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.05(a), in connection with a refinancing in full of the Facilities any Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower, elect to accept Rollover Indebtedness in lieu of all or part of such Lender’s pro rata portion of any prepayment of Term Loans, made pursuant to this Section 2.05(a).

(b) Mandatory.

(i) On or prior to the tenth day following the date on which the financial statements have been delivered (or, if later, are required to be delivered) pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered (or, if later, is required to be delivered) pursuant to Section 6.02(a) unless and to the extent that such ten-day period is not practicable based on applicable legal or regulatory constraints, in which case the date of prepayment shall be the first date on which the Borrower is able to make a prepayment and commitment reduction using Borrower’s commercially reasonable efforts to do so (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such amount not paid shall be excluded from the determination of the Available Amount), the Borrower shall prepay, subject to Section 2.05(c), an aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans equal to (A) 50% (as may be adjusted pursuant to the proviso below) of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019), minus (B) the sum of (1) the amount of any prepayments of the Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) during such fiscal year and/or any cash repurchases of the Term Loans made pursuant to Section 10.07(i) during such fiscal year, (2) solely to the extent the Revolving Credit Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.06(a) in connection therewith (and solely to the extent of the amount of such reduction), the amount of any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) during such fiscal year, (3) the portion of the Excess Cash Flow applied (to the extent the Borrower or any Subsidiary is required by the terms thereof) to prepay, repay or purchase other Indebtedness that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations on a no more than pro rata basis with the Initial Term Loans; provided that (x) no voluntary prepayment funded with the proceeds of an incurrence of Indebtedness may be applied pursuant to clause (B) above to reduce the amount of the prepayment required under this Section 2.05(b)(i) and (y) in the case of any such prepayment that is made at less than the par value of the applicable Indebtedness being so repaid, the amount of any reduction pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i) shall be limited to the actual cash amount paid by the Borrower in respect of such repayment; provided, further, that such percentage in clause (A) above shall be reduced to (x) 25% if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year was equal to or less than 4.50:1.00 but greater than 4.00:1.00 and (y) 0% if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year was equal to or less than 4.00:1.00.

(ii) (A) If (x) Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition (1) to a Loan Party or (2) by a Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party to another Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party) pursuant to Section 7.05(i), (l), (n) or (o), or (y) any Casualty Event occurs, and the transactions or series of related transactions described in this clause (A) result in the receipt by Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds (any such transaction or series of related transactions being a “Relevant Transaction”), the Borrower shall (1) give written notice to the Administrative Agent thereof promptly after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds and (2) except to the extent the Borrower elects in such notice to reinvest all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B), the Borrower shall, subject to Section 2.05(b)(vii) hereof, prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds received from such Relevant Transaction within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt thereof by Parent, the Borrower or such Subsidiary; provided that the Borrower may use a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds received from such Relevant Transaction to prepay or repurchase any other Indebtedness that is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu or senior basis to the Obligations to the extent such other Indebtedness and the Liens securing the same are permitted hereunder and the documentation governing such other Indebtedness requires such a prepayment or repurchase thereof with the proceeds of such Relevant Transaction, in each case in an amount not to exceed (1) in the case of pari passu Indebtedness, the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such other pari passu Indebtedness and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and such other Indebtedness, and (2) in the case of Senior Indebtedness, the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Relevant Transaction at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower may, so long as no Event of Default would result therefrom, reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including to make Permitted Acquisitions) within three hundred sixty five (365) days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, if the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary, as applicable, has contractually committed within three hundred sixty five (365) days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds, then within five hundred forty five (545) days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds); provided, however, that if any of such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be so reinvested at any time after the occurrence of the Relevant Transaction (or are not reinvested within such three hundred sixty five (365) days or five hundred forty five (545) days, as applicable), an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be promptly applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans (subject to the proviso set forth in Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A)) as set forth in this Section 2.05.

(iii) Upon the incurrence or issuance by Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries of (x) Specified Refinancing Debt or any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Term Loans, the Borrower shall prepay the Tranche of Loans being refinanced or (y) any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans, in each case in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom (disregarding, in the case of clause (x) and for the avoidance of doubt, any Indebtedness incurred contemporaneously therewith, even if of the same tranche or series, if and to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in accordance with and pursuant to available baskets in Section 7.03 that do not require such Indebtedness to be incurred in the form of Specified Refinancing Debt or Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness) immediately upon receipt thereof by Parent, the Borrower or such Subsidiary.

(iv) Upon the incurrence by Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any Specified Refinancing Debt or Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans being refinanced in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom (disregarding, and for the avoidance of doubt, any Indebtedness incurred contemporaneously therewith, even if of the same tranche or series, if and to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in accordance with and pursuant to available baskets in Section 7.03 that do not require such Indebtedness to be incurred in the form of Specified Refinancing Debt or Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt) immediately upon receipt thereof by Parent, the Borrower or such Subsidiary.

(v) If for any reason the sum of the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings under any Tranche at any time exceed the sum of the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect for such Tranche (including after giving effect to any reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.06), the Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swingline Loans under such Tranche and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations allocable to such Tranche in an aggregate amount as may be necessary to eliminate such excess (provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(v) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans under such Tranche, the sum of the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings under such Tranche exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect for such Tranche); and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Revolving Credit Lenders under such Tranche on a pro rata basis.

(vi) Subject to Sections 2.16(e)(v), 2.17, 2.19 and 2.21, (A) each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) (other than pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(iii)(x) and (v)) shall be (i) allocated to the Tranches of Term Loans outstanding based upon the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Tranches of Term Loans, pro rata, based upon the applicable remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of each such Tranche of Term Loans, (ii) applied pro rata to Term Loans of Term Lenders within each Tranche, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Term Lender under each such Tranche of Term Loans and (iii) applied to reduce such remaining scheduled installments of principal within each such Tranche in direct order of maturity; provided that (x) with respect to the allocation of such prepayments under this clause (A) between an Existing Term Tranche and Extended Term Tranche of the same extension series, the Borrower may allocate such prepayments as the Borrower may specify, subject to the limitation that the Borrower shall not allocate to Extended Term Loans of any extension series any such mandatory prepayment unless such prepayment under this clause (A) is accompanied by at least a pro rata prepayment, based upon the applicable remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect thereof, of the Term Loans of the Existing Term Tranche, if any, from which such Extended Loans were converted or exchanged (unless such Term Loans of the Existing Term Tranche have otherwise been repaid in full) and (y) the Borrower may allocate less than a pro rata amount of such prepayment to any Incremental Term Loan or Refinancing Term Loan to the extent so provided in the applicable joinder agreement or Refinancing Amendment, respectively, and (B) each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 2.05(b)(iii)(x) shall be (i) allocated to the Tranche or Tranches of Term Loans being Refinanced, (ii) applied pro rata to Term Loans of Term Lenders within each Tranche subject to such prepayment, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Term Lender under each such Tranche or Tranches of Term Loans and (iii) applied to reduce such remaining scheduled installments of principal within each such Tranche or Tranches in direct order of maturity.

(vii) All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be made together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of Term Loans under any Tranche pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans under the Tranche being prepaid; provided that if there are no Declining Lenders with respect to such prepayment, then the amount thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans under the Tranche being prepaid to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans under such Tranche, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount payable by the Borrower in respect of such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.05.

(viii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary or the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary, in each case giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii), or Excess Cash Flow giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i), if distributed by such Foreign Subsidiary, (x) would result in material adverse tax consequences for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or adverse tax consequences that are material in relation to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) would violate, require consents from a Governmental Authority under or otherwise be or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, in each case as reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith in consultation with the Administrative Agent, (A) the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans; provided that the Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not require the incurrence of any costs or losses beyond a de minimis amount) to take all actions permitted by applicable Law, in order to repatriate or otherwise permit the payment of such amounts; provided, further, that, in the case of any such prepayment that is delayed by applicable local law, such prepayment be made when reasonably practicable after such delay; provided, further, that any such amount not repatriated or paid shall be excluded from the determination of the Available Amount.

(c) Term Lender Opt-Out. With respect to any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) the Term Lenders may decline to accept the applicable prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any event giving rise to a prepayment under Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the expected date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment that is required to be made under Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) (the “Prepayment Amount”). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of any such prepayment notice so received from the Borrower, including the date on which such prepayment is to be made (the “Prepayment Date”). Any Appropriate Lender may decline to accept all (but not less than all) of its share of any such prepayment (any such Lender, a “Declining Lender”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent no later than five (5) Business Days after the date of such Appropriate Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. If any Appropriate Lender does not give a notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such fifth Business Day informing the Administrative Agent that it declines to accept the applicable prepayment, then such Lender will be deemed to have accepted such prepayment. On any Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Prepayment Amount minus the portion thereof allocable to Declining Lenders, in each case for such Prepayment Date, shall be paid to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and applied by the Administrative Agent ratably to prepay Term Loans under the Term Loan Tranches owing to Appropriate Lenders (other than Declining Lenders) in the manner described in Section 2.05(b) for such prepayment. Any amounts that would otherwise have been applied to prepay Term Loans under any Term Loan Tranche owing to Declining Lenders shall be offered to prepay the loans outstanding under the Second Lien Credit Agreement (and any other Indebtedness permitted to be secured on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Second Lien Loan Documents pursuant to Section 7.01, to the extent required to be so offered under the documentation governing the same). To the extent such amount is not (and is not required to be) applied to prepay Indebtedness as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the remaining amount may be retained by the Borrower (such remaining amounts, the “Declined Amounts”).

(d) All payments or repayments of Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be made in Dollars.

Section 2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(i) The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused portions of the Term Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swingline Sublimit or the unused Revolving Credit Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused portions of the Term Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swingline Sublimit or the unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree) prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce (A) any Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder and reallocations pursuant to Section 2.03(l), the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings allocable to such Tranche would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such Tranche, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (C) the Swingline Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans outstanding hereunder would exceed the Swingline Sublimit.

(ii) Any such notice of termination or reduction of commitments pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i) may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) The aggregate Term Commitments in respect of the Initial Term Loans shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero (0) on the date of the Term Borrowing of the Initial Term Loans.

(iii) If after giving effect to any reduction or termination of Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.06, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Sublimit, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

(iv) The aggregate Initial Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically and permanently be reduced to zero (0) on the Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Revolving Credit Facility.

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Term Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swingline Sublimit or the Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of Commitments under a Facility, the Commitment of each Lender under such Facility shall be reduced by such Lender’s ratable share of the amount by which such Facility is reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments and unpaid, shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

Section 2.07 Repayment of Loans.

(a) Initial Term Loans. Beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Term Lenders holding Initial Term Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding in consecutive quarterly installments on the dates (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) set forth below in an aggregate principal amount equal to 1.00% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date (which installments shall, to the extent applicable, be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Sections 2.05 and 2.06, or be increased as a result of any increase in the amount of Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.15 (such increased amortization payments to be calculated in the same manner (and on the same basis) as the schedule set forth below for the Initial Term Loans made as of the Closing Date)).

(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein; provided that in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than Revolving Credit Loans bearing interest based on the Base Rate that are repaid or prepaid without any corresponding termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(d) All interest paid or payable pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be paid in Dollars.

Section 2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(h) and (i):

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender under the Initial Revolving Credit Facility in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Initial Revolving Credit Facility, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee, multiplied by the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Initial Revolving Credit Commitments exceed the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Initial Revolving Credit Loans (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Swingline Loans) and (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.19. The commitment fee under the Initial Revolving Credit Facility shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date for the Initial Revolving Credit Facility, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last Business Day of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2018, and on the Maturity Date for the Initial Revolving Credit Facility.

(b) Other Fees.

(i) The Borrower shall pay to RBC Capital Markets and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.

Section 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

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

(b) If as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Parent and its Subsidiaries or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Total Net Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of such ratio would have resulted in higher interest or fees for any period, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and with any such demand by the Administrative Agent being excused), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), Sections 2.03(h) or (i), Section 2.08(b) or under Article VIII. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.10(b) shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.02 and the repayment of all other Obligations after an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.02. Except in any case where a demand is excused as provided above, any additional interest or fees under this Section 2.10(b) shall not be due and payable until a demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent and accordingly, any nonpayment of such interest or fees as a result of any such inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue or accrue interest at the Default Rate, in each case at any time prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days following such demand.

Section 2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as a non-fiduciary agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

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

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

Section 2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share in respect of the relevant Facility or Tranche (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02(b) and may, in its sole discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if any Lender does not in fact make its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand an amount equal to such applicable share in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the highest interest rate applicable to Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans. If both the Borrower and such Lender pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make its share of any Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower did not in fact make such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed by the Administrative Agent to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.

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

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

(d) Obligations of the Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.07 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.07 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or, to fund its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.07.

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

(f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swingline Loans held by it (excluding any amounts applied by the Swingline Lender to outstanding Swingline Loans), any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such sub-participations in the participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent shall keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and shall in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to (A) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.18, (B) the assignments and participations (including by means of a Dutch Auction and open market repurchases) described in Section 10.07, (C) the incurrence of any Rollover Indebtedness in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(v), any Incremental Term Commitments in accordance with Section 2.16, any Specified Refinancing Debt in accordance with Section 2.21, any Permitted Junior Refinancing Debt or Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt permitted under Section 7.03 or any Extension in accordance with Section 2.17, (D) any loan modification offer described in Section 10.01 or (E) any applicable circumstances contemplated by Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.17, 2.19 or 3.07.

Section 2.14 Increase in Revolving Credit Facility.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time, upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent specifying the proposed amount thereof, request an increase, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, in any Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments (each, a “Revolving Facility Increase”) (which shall be on the same terms as, and become part of, the applicable Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments (except as otherwise provided in clause (f))) by an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at the time the Revolving Facility Increase becomes effective and assuming any such Revolving Facility Increase is fully drawn, the Incremental Amount; provided that any such request for a Revolving Facility Increase shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (x) $5,000,000 and (y) the entire amount of any Revolving Facility Increase that may be requested under this Section 2.14.

(b) Each such notice shall specify the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, a “Revolving Facility Increase Lender”) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Revolving Facility Increase be allocated and the proposed amounts of such allocation; provided that (x) any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Revolving Facility Increase may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to increase its applicable Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments (it being understood that there is no obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any portion of the Revolving Facility Increase) and (y) the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Issuers shall have the right to consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) to such Person’s providing such portion of the Revolving Facility Increase if such consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Issuer would be required under Section 10.07 for an assignment of Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments to such Person.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Revolving Credit Lender of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ responses to each request made under this Section 2.14.

(d) If a Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans is increased in accordance with this Section 2.14, the Borrower, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, shall determine the effective date (the “Revolving Facility Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such Revolving Facility Increase among the applicable Revolving Facility Increase Lenders, which need not be on a ratable basis for all existing Lenders of the applicable Tranche. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the final allocation of any such Revolving Facility Increase and the Revolving Facility Increase Effective Date. In connection with any Revolving Facility Increase, the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments (which may be executed and delivered solely by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in order to reflect any technical changes necessary to give effect to such Revolving Facility Increase in accordance with its terms as set forth herein.

(e) Such Revolving Facility Increase shall become effective, as of the applicable Revolving Facility Increase Effective Date; provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result after giving effect to such Revolving Facility Increase (provided that, if such Revolving Facility Increase is being incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, the Lenders providing such Revolving Facility Increase may agree to limit the foregoing condition to provide that no Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g) shall have occurred and be continuing or would result after giving effect to such Revolving Facility Increase), (ii) after giving effect to the making of any Revolving Credit Loans or the effectiveness of any Revolving Facility Increase, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) shall be satisfied (provided that, if such Revolving Facility Increase is being incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, the Lenders providing such Revolving Facility Increase may agree to limit the foregoing condition to relate solely to the accuracy of the Specified Representations and the Acquisition Agreement Representations), (iii) after giving effect to such Revolving Facility Increase and assuming any such Revolving Facility Increase is fully drawn, the Borrower shall be in Pro Forma Compliance with the financial covenant contained in Section 7.10, (iv) the Revolving Facility Increase shall be effected pursuant to one or more joinder agreements (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Revolving Facility Increase Lenders, and, to the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, and/or the L/C Issuer, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register, (v) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate dated as of the Revolving Facility Increase Effective Date, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that the conditions precedent set forth in the foregoing subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii) have been satisfied and, if the Borrower is relying on clause (c) of the definition of “Incremental Amount” for purposes of incurring all or any portion of the Revolving Facility Increase, that the Borrower is in Pro Forma Compliance with the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio requirement set forth in the definition of “Incremental Amount”, (vi) to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent in all material respects with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 with respect to the Borrower and all other applicable Loan Parties (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in Law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and evidencing the approval of such Revolving Facility Increase by the Borrower and all other applicable Loan Parties and (vii) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such Revolving Facility Increase to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders shall have been paid or shall be paid concurrently with the Revolving Facility Increase Effective Date. On the Revolving Facility Increase Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall take those steps that it and the Borrower agree are necessary and appropriate to result in each Revolving Credit Lender in respect of the Tranche subject to such Revolving Facility Increase having a pro-rata share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans relating to such Tranche based on each such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Tranche immediately after giving effect to such Revolving Facility Increase, and a pro-rata share of any applicable participations in Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations based on each such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Facility immediately after giving effect to such Revolving Facility Increase. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro-rata borrowing and pro-rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any transaction that may be effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(f) Any Revolving Facility Increase shall be on the same terms and pursuant to the same documentation as the Tranche or Tranches, as applicable, of Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments increased thereby as of the Revolving Facility Increase Effective Date; provided that it is agreed that the Applicable Rate of the applicable existing Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments may be increased to equal the Applicable Rate of such increased Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments to satisfy the requirements of this clause (f).

Section 2.15 Increase in Term Facility.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time, upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent specifying the proposed amount thereof, request an increase, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, in any Tranche of Term Loans (each, a “Term Facility Increase”) (which shall be on the same terms as, and become part of, the applicable Tranche of Term Loans hereunder (except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.15(c) and 2.15(e))) by an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at the time of incurrence, the Incremental Amount; provided that any such request for a Term Facility Increase shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (x) $5,000,000 and (y) the entire amount of any Term Facility Increase that may be requested under this Section 2.15.

(b) Each such notice shall specify the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, a “Term Facility Increase Lender”) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Term Facility Increase be allocated and the proposed amounts of such allocation; provided that (x) any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Term Facility Increase may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to increase its applicable Tranche of Term Loans (it being understood that there is no obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any portion of the Term Facility Increase) and (y) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) to such Person’s providing such portion of the Term Facility Increase if such consent of the Administrative Agent would be required under Section 10.07 for an assignment of Term Loans or Term Commitments to such Person.

(c) If any Tranche of Term Loans is increased in accordance with this Section 2.15, the Borrower, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, shall determine the effective date (the “Term Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such Term Facility Increase among the applicable Term Facility Increase Lenders which need not be on a ratable basis for all existing Lenders of the applicable Tranche. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Term Increase Effective Date. As of the Term Increase Effective Date, the amortization schedule for the Tranche of Term Loans subject to the Term Facility Increase set forth in Section 2.07(a) (or any other applicable amortization schedule for the relevant Tranche of Term Loans) shall be amended in a writing (which may be executed and delivered solely by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) to reflect the addition of such Term Facility Increase. In addition, in connection with any Term Facility Increase pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments (which may be executed and delivered solely by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in order to reflect any technical changes necessary to give effect to such Term Facility Increase in accordance with its terms as set forth herein.

(d) Such Term Facility Increase shall become effective, as of the applicable Term Increase Effective Date; provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result after giving effect to such Term Facility Increase (including the use of proceeds thereof) (provided that, if such Term Facility Increase is being incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Term Facility Increase may, pursuant to Section 1.09(b), agree to limit the foregoing condition to provide that (x) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into and (y) no Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or would result after giving effect thereto and to such Term Facility Increase), (ii) after giving effect to the making of any Term Loans or the effectiveness of any Term Facility Increase (including the use of proceeds thereof), the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) shall be satisfied (provided that, if such Term Facility Increase is being incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, the Lenders providing such Term Facility Increase may agree to limit the foregoing condition to relate solely to the accuracy of the Specified Representations and the Acquisition Agreement Representations); (iii) after giving effect to the making of any Term Loans or the effectiveness of any Term Facility Increase (including the use of the proceeds thereof), the Borrower shall be in Pro Forma Compliance with the financial covenant contained in Section 7.10, (iv) the Term Facility Increase shall be effected pursuant to one or more joinder agreements (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Term Facility Increase Lenders, and to the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register, (v) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate dated as of the Term Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that the conditions precedent set forth in subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii) have been satisfied and, if the Borrower is relying on clause (c) of the definition of “Incremental Amount” for purposes of incurring all or any portion of the Term Facility Increase, that the Borrower is in Pro Forma Compliance with the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio requirement set forth in the definition of “Incremental Amount”, (vi) to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent in all material respects with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 with respect to the Borrower and all other applicable Loan Parties (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in Law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and evidencing the approval of such increase by the Borrower and each other applicable Loan Party and (vii) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such increase to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders shall have been paid or shall be paid concurrently with the Term Increase Effective Date. The additional Term Loans made pursuant to any Term Facility Increase shall be made by the applicable Lenders participating therein pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.02.

(e) Any Term Facility Increase shall (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.15(c) with respect to amortization) be on the same terms and pursuant to the same documentation as the Tranche or Tranches, as applicable, of Term Loans increased thereby as of the Term Increase Effective Date; provided that it is agreed that the Applicable Rate of the applicable existing Tranche of Term Loans may be increased to equal the Applicable Rate of such increased Tranche of Term Loans to satisfy the requirements of this clause (e).

Section 2.16 New Incremental Term Facilities.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time, upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof, request, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, to add one or more new term loan facilities to the Facilities (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”; and any advance made by a Lender thereunder, an “Incremental Term Loan”; the commitments in respect thereof, the “Incremental Term Commitments”), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at the time of incurrence, the Incremental Amount; provided that any such request for an Incremental Term Commitment shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 and (ii) the entire amount that may be requested under this Section 2.16.

(b) Each such notice shall specify the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, an “Incremental Term Lender”, as applicable, and collectively, the “Incremental Term Lenders”) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Term Commitments be allocated and the proposed amounts of such allocations; provided that (i) any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Term Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Term Commitment (it being understood that there is no obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Term Commitment) and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to consent to such Person’s providing such Incremental Term Commitments if such consent of the Administrative Agent would be required under Section 10.07 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments to such Person.

(c) If an Incremental Term Commitment is added in accordance with this Section 2.16, the Borrower, in consultation with the Administrative Agent working in good faith, shall determine the effective date (the “Incremental Term Commitment Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such Incremental Term Commitment among the Incremental Term Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders of the final allocation of the Incremental Term Commitment and the Incremental Term Commitment Effective Date. In connection with any addition of an Incremental Term Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments (which may be executed and delivered solely by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in order to (i) give effect to such Incremental Term Commitments in accordance with its terms as set forth herein (including the addition of such Incremental Term Facility as a “Facility” hereunder and treated in a manner consistent with the other Facilities, as applicable, including for purposes of prepayments and voting) and (ii) so long as such changes are not materially adverse to the interest of the Lenders (as determined by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent acting together in good faith), make such Incremental Term Loans fungible with one or more then outstanding Tranches of Term Loans.

(d) Such Incremental Term Commitments shall become effective, as of the applicable Incremental Term Commitment Effective Date; provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans (including the use of the proceeds thereof) (provided that, if such Incremental Term Loans are being incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans may, pursuant to Section 1.09(b), agree to limit the foregoing condition to provide (x) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into and (y) that no Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or would result after giving effect thereto and to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans), (ii) after giving effect to the making of any Incremental Term Loans (including the use of the proceeds thereof) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) shall be satisfied (provided that, if such Incremental Term Loans are being incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans may agree to limit the foregoing condition to relate solely to the accuracy of the Specified Representations and the Acquisition Agreement Representations), (iii) after giving effect to the incurrence of any Incremental Term Loans (including the use of the proceeds thereof), the Borrower shall be in Pro Forma Compliance with the financial covenant contained in Section 7.10, (iv) the Incremental Term Commitments, as applicable, shall be effected pursuant to one or more joinder agreements (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) executed and delivered by the Borrower and Incremental Term Lenders, and to the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register, (v) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate dated as of the Incremental Term Commitment Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that the conditions precedent set forth in subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii) have been satisfied and, if the Borrower is relying on clause (c) of the definition of “Incremental Amount” for purposes of incurring all or any portion of the Incremental Term Loans, that the Borrower is in Pro Forma Compliance with the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio requirement set forth in the definition of “Incremental Amount”, (vi) to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent in all material respects with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 with respect to the Borrower and all other applicable Loan Parties (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in Law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and evidencing the approval of such increase by the Borrower and each other applicable Loan Party, and (vii) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such Incremental Term Commitment to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders shall have been paid or shall be paid concurrently with the Incremental Term Commitment Effective Date.

(e) The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Facilities shall be as determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility and Incremental Term Loans; provided that, except as set forth in the proviso below, to the extent such terms, provisions and documentation are not substantially identical with the Initial Term Facility, they shall not be materially more favorable (taken a whole) to the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility and Incremental Term Loans than the corresponding terms applicable the Initial Term Loans or shall be as otherwise reasonably acceptable the Administrative Agent (except for terms applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date with respect to the then outstanding Term Loans (determined immediately prior to giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Term Facility)); provided, further, that:

(i) such Incremental Term Commitment and the Loans thereunder (x) shall be incurred or guaranteed only by the Borrower and the Guarantors obligated under the Initial Term Loans and (y) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with and be secured on a pari passu basis with (by the same Collateral securing), in each case, the Initial Term Loans;

(ii) the final maturity of any Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date in effect at the time of incurrence;

(iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Facility shall be no shorter than the then-longest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranches of Term Loans outstanding at the time of incurrence;

(iv) subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this proviso, the amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility;

(v) any Incremental Term Facility may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any prepayments of the Initial Term Facility pursuant to Section 2.05(a) and 2.05(b) (other than prepayments of the Initial Term Facility pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii)(x)), as specified in the applicable joinder agreement;

(vi) the All-In Yield applicable to the Incremental Term Loans of each Tranche shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable joinder agreement; provided that with respect to the Incremental Term Loans of any Tranche, the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Term Loans shall not be greater than the applicable All-In Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to Initial Term Loans plus 50 basis points per annum unless the interest rate (together with, as provided in the proviso below, the Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate floor) with respect to the Initial Term Loan is increased so as to cause the then applicable All-In Yield under this Agreement on the Initial Term Loans to equal the All-In Yield then applicable to the Incremental Term Loans minus 50 basis points; provided that any increase in All-In Yield to any existing Initial Term Loan due to the application of a Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate floor on any Incremental Term Loan shall be effected solely through an increase in (or implementation of, as applicable) any Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate floor applicable to such existing Initial Term Loan; and

(vii) subject to clause (vi) above, any fees payable in connection with any such Incremental Term Commitment shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Commitment.

(f) The Loans and Commitments made or established pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Collateral Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien granted by the Collateral Documents continue to be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise to the extent required under Section 6.13 and the Collateral Documents after giving effect to the extension or establishment of any such Loans or any such Commitments.

Section 2.17 Extension of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the (i) Term Loans of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Term Tranche”, and the Term Loans of such Tranche, the “Existing Term Loans”) or Revolving Credit Commitments, and the related outstanding Revolving Credit Loans in respect thereof, of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Tranche” and together with the Existing Term Tranches, each an “Existing Tranche”, and the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of such Existing Revolving Tranche, the “Existing Revolving Loans”, and together with the Existing Term Loans, the “Existing Loans”), in each case, be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of any Existing Tranche (any such Existing Tranche which has been so extended, an “Extended Term Tranche” or “Extended Revolving Tranche”, as applicable, and each an “Extended Tranche”, and the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, of such Extended Tranches, the “Extended Term Loans” or “Extended Revolving Commitments”, as applicable, and collectively, the “Extended Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.17; provided that (i) any such request shall be made by the Borrower to all Lenders with Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, with a like maturity date (whether under one or more Tranches) on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Term Loans or the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable) and on the same terms to each such Lender and (ii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower in its sole discretion. In order to establish any Extended Tranche, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Tranche) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Tranche to be established, which terms shall be substantially similar to those applicable to the Existing Tranche from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Tranche”), except with respect to the following as determined by the Borrower and set forth in the Extension Request: (i) interest margins and fees, (ii) other covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Maturity Date of the applicable Existing Tranche, (iii) in the case of an Extended Revolving Tranche, the final maturity date, (iv) in the case of an Extended Term Tranche, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments; provided that, (A) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Extended Tranche shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Specified Existing Tranche, (B) the final maturity date of such Extended Term Tranche shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date of the applicable Existing Tranche, (C) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of Term Loans under Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) and (v) in the case of an Extended Revolving Tranche, (1) the Borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Tranches (and related outstanding Revolving Credit Loans in respect thereof), (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the Extended Revolving Tranches, (C) repayments made in connection with any Refinancing Amendment establishing Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments and (D) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of Commitments) of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Tranches after the associated Extension Date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments existing at the time of the relevant Borrowing and repayment and (2) subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(l) to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit, which mature or expire after a Maturity Date when there exist Extended Revolving Tranches with a later Maturity Date, all Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitments as in effect from time to time; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17 or otherwise, assignments and participations of Extended Tranches shall be governed by the same or, at the Borrower’s discretion, more restrictive assignment and participation provisions applicable to Initial Term Loans or Initial Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, set forth in Section 10.07. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Loans converted into an Extended Tranche pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche of Loans from the Specified Existing Tranches and from any other Existing Tranches (together with any other Extended Tranches so established on such date); provided that at no time shall there be more than two (2) Tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche or Existing Tranches are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Specified Existing Tranche converted into an Extended Tranche shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Specified Existing Tranche that it has elected to convert into an Extended Tranche. In the event that the aggregate amount of the Specified Existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Tranches requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Specified Existing Tranches subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Tranches on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Specified Existing Tranches included in each such Extension Election. In connection with any extension of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.17 (each, an “Extension”), the Borrower shall agree to such procedures regarding timing, rounding and other administrative adjustments to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.17. The Borrower may amend, revoke or replace an Extension Request pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at any time prior to the date (the “Extension Request Deadline”) on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Tranche or Existing Term Tranches are requested to respond to the Extension Request. Any Lender may revoke an Extension Election at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Extension Request Deadline, at which point the Extension Request becomes irrevocable (unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower). The revocation of an Extension Election prior to the Extension Request Deadline shall not prejudice any Lender’s right to submit a new Extension Election prior to the Extension Request Deadline.

(c) Extended Tranches shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to provisions as set forth in Section 2.17(a), and which, in each case, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 2.17(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.01, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Tranches established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Extending Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure of a Lender to respond to a request for an Extension shall be treated as if such non-responding Lender had affirmatively declined to participate in such Extension. Subject to the requirements of this Section 2.17 and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 10.01 to any Section 2.17 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.17 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.17 Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.17 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Tranches provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.17 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 10.01; provided, further, that no Extension Amendment may provide for any Extended Tranche to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that does not also secure the Existing Tranches or be guaranteed by any Person other than the Guarantors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.01, any such Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.17; provided that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Section 2.17 Additional Amendment.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Tranche is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clause (a) above (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Specified Existing Tranche of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Tranche shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Tranche so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Tranches shall be established as a separate Tranche from the Specified Existing Tranche and from any other Existing Tranches (together with any other Extended Tranches so established on such date).

(e) If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines to consent to the applicable extension on the terms and by the deadline set forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such other Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) then the Borrower may (at its sole expense), on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Extending Lender, replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Extended Loans on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment; provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Existing Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Assumption. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.17, if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption by the later of (A) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption and (B) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Existing Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender, then such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender.

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

(g) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute optional or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.05(a) and (b) and (ii) no Extension Request is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that 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 Request in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Existing Loans of any or all applicable Tranches be extended. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.17 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.05(a) and (b) and 2.07) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.17.

Section 2.18 Cash Collateral.

(a) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer (i) if the applicable L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing or (ii) if as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, promptly, but in any event, within one (1) Business Day, Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly, but in any event, within one (1) Business Day, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover 103% of all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent or any Approved Domestic Bank selected by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the applicable L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first-priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.18(c). The Borrower and/or any such Lender providing the Cash Collateral agree to take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to establish, maintain and/or perfect the first-priority security interest referred to above (including entering into control agreements). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower and the relevant Defaulting Lender shall, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.18 or Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.06, 2.19 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.07(b)(vii))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g) or an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.18 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03) and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

Section 2.19 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be as set forth in Section 10.01.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the applicable L/C Issuers or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or reasonably requested by any applicable L/C Issuer, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a noninterest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts then due and owing to the Lenders, the applicable L/C Issuers or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any applicable L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, to the payment of any amounts then due and owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans, Swingline Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans, Swingline Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).

(iv) During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender with Revolving Credit Commitments, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.03 or Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04, the “Pro Rata Share” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be determined without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender under any Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Lender.

(b) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of the applicable outstanding Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders under each relevant Tranche or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their ratable shares (without giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, subject to Section 10.24 or except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.20 Incremental Equivalent Debt.

(a) The Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors may, from time to time, upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof, issue or incur Indebtedness in respect of one or more series of senior unsecured notes, senior secured first lien or junior lien notes or subordinated notes, in each case issued in a public offering, Rule 144A or other private placement or customary bridge facility in respect of the foregoing (and any Registered Equivalent Notes issued in exchange therefor), senior secured first lien, junior lien secured or unsecured or subordinated loans or junior lien secured or unsecured mezzanine Indebtedness that, if secured, will (i) in the case of any such Indebtedness constituting notes issued in a public offering, Rule 144A or other private placement, be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu or junior basis with the Obligations and (ii) in the case of any such Indebtedness constituting loans, shall be secured by the Collateral solely on a junior basis with the Obligations, and that are issued or made in lieu of an Incremental Term Facility pursuant to an indenture, a note purchase agreement, loan or credit agreement or otherwise (such Indebtedness, collectively, “Incremental Equivalent Debt”) in a principal amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount at the time of incurrence; provided that in the case of any Incremental Equivalent Debt that is secured by the Collateral on a junior basis with the Obligations, is subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations (whether or not such Indebtedness is secured) or is unsecured, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test set forth in clause (c) of the definition of Incremental Amount shall be deemed to be replaced with the requirement that, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt (including the use of proceeds thereof and, in the case of any such Incremental Equivalent Debt structured as a revolving or “delayed-draw” or similar facility, assuming a full utilization thereof and, in each case, with the proceeds of any such Incremental Equivalent Debt being excluded from the determination of Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents for such calculation (but, for the avoidance of doubt, giving effect to any repayment, repurchase or other reduction of Indebtedness effected with such proceeds)), the Total Net Leverage Ratio would not exceed 5.00:1.00.

(b) As a condition precedent to the issuance or incurrence of any Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to this Section 2.20, (i) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the date of issuance or incurrence of the Incremental Equivalent Debt signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that the conditions set forth in this Section 2.20(b) have been satisfied and, if the Borrower is relying on clause (c) of the definition of Incremental Amount for purposes of incurring all or any portion of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, that the Borrower is in Pro Forma Compliance with the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio requirement set forth in such provision (or any applicable Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio or Total Net Leverage Ratio required to be tested in lieu thereof pursuant to the proviso set forth in the immediately preceding clause (a)), (ii) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not be borrowed by or subject to any Guarantee by any

Section 2.21 Specified Refinancing Debt.

(a) The Borrower may, from time to time, add one or more new term loan facilities and new revolving credit facilities to the Facilities that are provided by any Lender or any Additional Lender (“Specified Refinancing Debt”) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, to refinance (i) all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement and (ii) all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans (or unused Revolving Credit Commitments) under this Agreement (which for purposes of this Section 2.21 will be deemed to include any then outstanding Specified Refinancing Debt, Incremental Term Commitments, Extended Loans or other Tranches of Loans), in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Specified Refinancing Debt: (i) will rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security as the other Loans and Commitments hereunder (as determined by the Borrower); (ii) will not be borrowed and will not be Guaranteed by any Person that is not the Borrower or a Guarantor, respectively; (iii) will be unsecured or secured by only some or all of the Collateral on a pari passu or junior basis with the Obligations (as determined by the Borrower) and, if secured, shall be subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or an Other Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable (and, if secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations, the “Additional First Lien Representative” (as defined in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) of such Specified Refinancing Debt shall become a party to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement); (iv)(A) will have such pricing and optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) as may be agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders thereof (provided, that, any such Specified Refinancing Debt that is incurred in the form of term loans that are secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations shall be required to satisfy the requirements of Section 2.16(e)(vi) (assuming, for such purposes, that such Specified Refinancing Debt is being incurred in the form of Incremental Term Loans)) and/or (B) provide for the payment of additional fees and/or premiums to the Lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Debt in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment; (v) (x) to the extent constituting revolving credit facilities, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the scheduled Maturity Date of the Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans (or unused Revolving Credit Commitments) being refinanced and (y) to the extent constituting term loan facilities, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the scheduled Latest Maturity Date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of, the Tranche of Term Loans being refinanced (provided, that in the case of any such Specified Refinancing Debt that is secured on a junior basis to the Obligations or is unsecured, such Specified Refinancing Debt will have a maturity date that is not prior to 91 days after the Latest Maturity Date of the Tranche of Term Loans being refinanced; (vi) subject to clauses (iv) and (v) above, will have terms and conditions (other than pricing and optional prepayment provisions (provided, that, any such Permitted Refinancing that is incurred in the form of term loans that are secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations shall be required to satisfy the requirements of Section 2.16(e)(vi) (assuming, for such purposes, that such Indebtedness is being incurred in the form of Incremental Term Loans))) that are substantially identical to, or not materially more favorable, taken as a whole, to the lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Debt than, the terms and conditions of the Facilities and Loans being refinanced as reasonably determined by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (provided that, the Administrative Agent’s consent shall not be required with respect to covenants (including any financial maintenance covenant added for the benefit of lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness) and other provisions so long as such covenants or other provisions are also added for the benefit of the Lenders of all then outstanding Loans); and (vii) the Net Cash Proceeds of such Specified Refinancing Debt shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the pro rata payment of outstanding Loans being so refinanced (and, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, a corresponding amount of Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall be permanently reduced), in each case pursuant to Section 2.05 and 2.06, as applicable; provided, however, that such Specified Refinancing Debt (x) may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed among the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date in effect at the time of such refinancing or the date on which all non-refinanced Obligations are paid in full and (y) shall not have a principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) greater than the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of the Loans being refinanced plus accrued interest (including, without duplication, interest paid-in-kind), fees and premiums (if any) thereon payable by the terms of the Indebtedness being refinanced and reasonable fees and expenses (including upfront fees, original issue discount and initial yield payments) associated with such refinancing and the aggregate unused Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments shall not exceed the unused Revolving Credit Commitments being replaced (it being agreed that, for purposes of assessing whether the foregoing limit on principal amount has been observed, any Indebtedness contemporaneously incurred pursuant to and in accordance with available baskets set forth in Section 7.03 (other than the basket pursuant to which such Specified Refinancing Debt is being incurred) shall be disregarded, even if such Indebtedness is of the same tranche or series of such Specified Refinancing Debt). Any Specified Refinancing Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of Loans under Section 2.05(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) (other than pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii)(x)), as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment. It is understood that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to any Additional Lender providing such Specified Refinancing Debt if such consent would be required under Section 10.07 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments to such Person.

(b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements, including any supplements or amendments to the Collateral Documents and any applicable intercreditor agreement providing for such Specified Refinancing Debt to be secured thereby, consistent in all material respects with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in Law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative 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 Tranches of Specified Refinancing Debt and to make 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 Tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.21.

(c) Each class of Specified Refinancing Debt incurred under this Section 2.21 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or the provision of Swingline Loans, pursuant to any revolving credit facility established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit under the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Specified Refinancing Debt incurred pursuant thereto (including the addition of such Specified Refinancing Debt as separate “Facilities” and “Tranches” hereunder and treated in a manner consistent with the Facilities being refinanced, including for purposes of prepayments and voting). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any Person other than the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Debt, effect such 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 2.21. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each L/C Issuer, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the scheduled Maturity Date in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments under such Tranche to Lenders holding extended revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding extended revolving commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such extended revolving commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.

Article III

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality

Section 3.01 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower and any other Loan Party to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, unless otherwise required by applicable Laws. If any Loan Party shall be required by any Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Loan Party) to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes (including deductions Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Loan Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws and (iv) as soon as practicable after such payment, the Loan Party shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) In addition but without duplication, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any and all present or future stamp, court, documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 3.07) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent and any Lender, as applicable, for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid by such Agent and such Lender and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than any amounts described in clause (i) or (ii) arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such Agent or Lender; provided that such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, provides the Borrower with a certificate or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts. Payment under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date such Lender or such Agent makes a written demand therefor.

(d) If any Lender or Agent determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund (including any interest included in such refund paid by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agree promptly to return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in this Section 3.01(d) shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any Tax refund or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (d), in no event will any Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this clause (d) the payment of which would place any Agent or any Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than any Agent or any 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(e) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a), (b) or (c) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Lender’s overall internal policies of general application and legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid or reduce to the greatest extent possible any indemnification or additional amounts being due under this Section 3.01, including to designate another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable and good faith judgment of such Lender, (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 or 3.01, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be material disadvantageous to such Lender; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.01(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Sections 3.01(a) and (c). The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender as a result of a request by the Borrower under this Section 3.01(e).

(f) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation and information prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation and information reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Section 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Closing Date affecting the London interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (excluding for all purposes of this Section 3.03 only, the portion of the Obligations and unused Commitments that are not available for Loans in the applicable currency) or (c) that the Eurodollar Rate for any currency requested Interest Period on any date of determination with respect to a Eurodollar Rate Loan for the applicable currency requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans in the applicable currency shall be suspended and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent (i) determines that the circumstances described in clause (a) of this Section 3.03 have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) determines that the circumstances described in clause (a) of this Section 3.03 have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurodollar Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurodollar Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, (iii) is advised by the Required Lenders of their determination in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 3.03, or (iv) new syndicated loans have started to adopt a new benchmark interest rate, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar 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 shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable, provided that to the extent that the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market convention is not administratively feasible or that no market convention for the administration of such alternate rate of interest exists, the Administrative Agent shall administer such alternate rate of interest in a manner determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.01, 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 stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. If a notice of an alternate rate of interest has been given and no such alternate rate of interest has been determined, and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist, the specific date referred to in clause (ii) has occurred or the Administrative Agent has received the notice from the Required Lenders referred to in clause (iii) above (as applicable), Alternate Base Rate shall apply without regard to clause (c) of the definition thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the date hereof, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (including Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, but excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes, and (ii) reserve requirements reflected in the Eurodollar Rate), then within fifteen (15) days after demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided, that, such Lender will only be compensated to the extent it is the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such charges in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of comparable syndicated credit facilities.

100

(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then within fifteen (15) days after demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of demand therefor.

(c) The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or (b) for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender demands, or notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand, compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(d) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts would not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, be inconsistent with the internal policies of, or otherwise be materially disadvantageous in any legal, economic or regulatory respect to such Lender or its Lending Office. The provisions of this clause (d) shall not affect or postpone any Obligations of the Borrower or rights of such Lender pursuant to Sections 3.04(a) or (b).

(e) For purposes of this Section 3.04, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and 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 have gone into effect after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

Section 3.05 Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating such compensation, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by it as a result of:

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

101

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

(c) any mandatory assignment of such Lender’s Loans (other than Base Rate Loans) pursuant to Section 3.07 on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans;

including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits and all administrative processing or similar fees) arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, but excluding any such loss for which no reasonable means of calculation exist, as set forth in Section 3.03.

Section 3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a) Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower contemporaneously with the demand for payment, setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

102

(d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 3.07 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

(a) If at any time (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.04 or any Lender ceases to make Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or 3.03, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender (as defined below in this Section 3.07) (collectively, a “Replaceable Lender”), then the Borrower may (at its sole expense), on prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, either (i) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower unless waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance) 100% of its relevant Commitments and the principal of its relevant outstanding Loans plus any accrued and unpaid interest together with all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person or (ii) so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, terminate the applicable Commitment of such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and (1) in the case of a Lender (other than each L/C Issuer), repay all applicable obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of an L/C Issuer, repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such L/C Issuer relating to the Loans and participations held by such L/C Issuer as of such termination date and cancel or backstop on terms reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer any Letters of Credit issued by it; provided that (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting for a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or payments to be required under Section 3.04, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case of any such termination of Commitments with respect to a Non-Consenting Lender such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents.

(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans (provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register) and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans, (B) all Obligations relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, the assigning Lender shall deliver to the assignee Lender the applicable Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. In connection with any such replacement, if any such Replaceable Lender (as defined above) does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement within one (1) Business Day of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such Replaceable Lender, then such Replaceable Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of the Replaceable Lender. In connection with the replacement of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) such amounts as may be required pursuant to Section 3.05.

103

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit.

(d) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent have requested the Lenders to consent to (A) an extension of the Maturity Date as permitted by Section 2.17, (B) a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or (C) agree to any amendment or other modification thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver, amendment or modification in question requires the agreement of all Lenders or all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Tranche of the Loans and (iii) solely with respect to clauses (i)(B) and (C) above, the Required Lenders have agreed to such waiver, amendment or modification, then any Lender who does not agree to such waiver, amendment or modification shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

Section 3.08 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(b) second, to payment in full of Unfunded Advances/Participations (the amounts so applied to be distributed between or among, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers pro rata in accordance with the amounts of Unfunded Advances/Participations owed to them on the date of any such distribution);

147

(f) sixth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit fees and interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders and the applicable L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (f) held by them;

(h) eighth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are then due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations then owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties; and

(i) last, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in accordance with the priority of payments set forth above.

Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article IX for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto. Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Loan Party shall not be paid with amounts received from such Loan Party or such Loan Party’s assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 8.03.

148

Article IX

Administrative Agent and Other Agents

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authorization of Agents.

(a) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any 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.

(b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agents in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article IX and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a Swingline Lender and/or L/C Issuer (if applicable), a potential Cash Management Bank party to a Secured Cash Management Agreement and a potential Hedge Bank party to a Secured Hedge Agreement) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder or under any intercreditor agreement at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX (including Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 9.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder or under any intercreditor agreement) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

149

Section 9.03 Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable in its capacity as such for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein, to the extent determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

Section 9.04 Reliance by Agents.

(a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

Section 9.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

150

Section 9.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

Section 9.07 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall, on a ratable basis based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all the Facilities, indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person in each case from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by such Agent-Related Person; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any Indemnified Liabilities incurred by an Agent-Related Person to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07; provided, further, that to the extent any L/C Issuer is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.07 solely in its capacity and role as L/C Issuer, only the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be required to indemnify such L/C Issuer under this Section 9.07 (which indemnity shall be provided by such Lenders based upon their respective Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Facility). In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 shall apply whether or not any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its pro rata share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

151

Section 9.08 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Any Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though it were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, an Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that such Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, such Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include such Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 9.09 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower (provided that no such notice to the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or (g) shall have occurred and be continuing). If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, the entering Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor or upon the expiration of the 30-day period following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation without a successor agent having been appointed, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. If the Administrative Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent may be removed as the Administrative Agent hereunder by the Borrower or the Required Lenders.

152

Any resignation by Royal Bank as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.09 shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder or upon the expiration of the 30-day period following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation without a successor agent having been appointed, (i) such successor (if any) shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer (if any) shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by the resigning L/C Issuer, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make (or the Borrower shall enter into) other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 9.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

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

Section 9.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in their capacities as a Swingline Lender (if applicable), potential Hedge Banks party to a Secured Hedge Agreement and potential Cash Management Banks party to a Secured Cash Management Agreement) and each L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request of the Borrower,

153

(a) release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations then due and owing (other than (A) contingent indemnification or other contingent obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, for which alternative arrangements satisfactory to the Cash Management Bank(s) and/or the Hedge Bank(s), as applicable, have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit which have been Cash Collateralized or as to which other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer have been made)), (ii) that is sold, disposed of or distributed or to be sold, disposed of or distributed as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (iv) owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor upon release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below, or (v) upon property constituting Excluded Assets;

(b) release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(e) (other than in connection with self-insurance), (f), (i), (m), (n), (p), (q), (s) and (t);

(c) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder;

(d) establish intercreditor arrangements as contemplated by this Agreement;

(e) if requested by the Borrower, to file an amendment to any financing statement specifically identifying Excluded Assets.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent shall (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to subordinate any Lien thereon granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, or to release (or evidence the release of) such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11; provided that, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that any such transaction has been consummated in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.12 Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 9.11(a) regarding alternative arrangements satisfactory to the Cash Management Bank and/or Hedge Bank, as applicable), prior to the release of Liens, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

154

Section 9.13 Other Agents; Arrangers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page of this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement as an “arranger”, “lead arranger”, “bookrunner”, “syndication agent” or “documentation agent” (or similar title) shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

Section 9.14 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.

(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 (obligating the Borrower to pay the Administrative Agent’s expenses and to indemnify the Administrative Agent) that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.

155

(c) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower, Parent or any other Loan Party be reasonably required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower or Parent, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon reasonable request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

Section 9.15 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 the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, 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:

(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 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the above proviso), (A) any waiver, amendment, modification or consent in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Tranche (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Tranche) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the Lenders with respect to such Tranche that would be required to consent thereto under this Section 10.01 if such Lenders were the only Lenders hereunder at the time, and (B) in determining whether the requisite percentage of Lenders have consented to any amendment, modification, waiver or other action, any Defaulting Lenders shall be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as those Lenders who are not Defaulting Lenders, except with respect to (x) any amendment, modification or other action or plan of reorganization which by its terms deprives any Defaulting Lender of its pro rata share of any payment or distribution to which all lenders of the same Tranche are entitled, (y) any amendment, modification, waiver or other action that by its terms adversely affects any Defaulting Lender in its capacity as a Lender in a manner that differs in any material respect from, and is more adverse to Defaulting Lender than it is to, other affected Lenders and (z) any amendment, modification, waiver or other action that increases the Commitment of any of such Defaulting Lenders, extends the maturity of any Facility under which any of such Defaulting Lenders is a Lender or forgives or reduces principal of, or interest on, any Loan owing to any of such Defaulting Lenders, in which case the consent of such Defaulting Lender shall be required.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender consent is required to effect any amendment or supplement to any Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Other Intercreditor Agreement or intercreditor arrangement permitted under this Agreement (i) that is for the purpose of, in connection with the incurrence by any Loan Party of any Indebtedness of such Loan Party that is permitted to be secured by the Collateral pursuant to Sections 7.01 and 7.03 of this Agreement, (x) adding the holders thereof (or a representative with respect thereto) as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms of any such intercreditor agreement or other arrangement permitted under this Agreement, as applicable, and/or (y) causing such Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected Lien (with such priority as may be designated by such Loan Party, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement or other arrangement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing; provided that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders) or (ii) that is expressly contemplated by any such intercreditor agreement or other intercreditor arrangement permitted under this Agreement; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

159

This Section 10.01 shall be subject to any contrary provision of Sections 1.03, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.20, 2.21 and 7.11 and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in order to give effect to, and the reflect the existence of, any Revolving Facility Increase pursuant to Section 2.14, any Term Facility Increase pursuant to Section 2.15, any Incremental Term Commitment pursuant to Section 2.16, any Extension pursuant to Section 2.17, any Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to Section 2.20 and any Specified Refinancing pursuant to Section 2.21, in each case in accordance with the terms set forth therein (including the addition thereof as a “Tranche” and/or “Facility” hereunder, if applicable). In addition, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, (a) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error, omission or defect of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and (b) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend any provision of any Collateral Document to better implement the intentions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in each case, such amendments shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time and from time to time, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders) specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof, the Borrower may make one or more loan modification offers to all the Lenders of any Facility that would, if and to the extent accepted by any such Lender, (a) change the All-In Yield with respect to the Loans and Commitments under such Facility (in each case solely with respect to the Loans and Commitments of accepting Lenders in respect of which an acceptance is delivered) and (b) treat the Loans and Commitments so modified as a new “Facility” and a new “Tranche” for all purposes under this Agreement (a “Loan Modification”); provided that (i) such loan modification offer is made to each Lender under the applicable Facility on the same terms and subject to the same procedures as are applicable to all other Lenders under such Facility (which procedures in any case shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and (ii) no Loan Modification shall affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer, without its prior written consent.

160

In connection with any such Loan Modification, the Borrower and each accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such agreements and other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the applicable loan modification offer and the terms and conditions thereof, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended in a writing (which may be executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall be effective only with respect to the applicable Loans and Commitments of Lenders that shall have accepted the relevant loan modification offer (and only with respect to Loans and Commitments as to which any such Lender has accepted the loan modification offer)) to the extent necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, to reflect the existence of, and to give effect to the terms and conditions of, the applicable Loan Modification (including the addition of such modified Loans and/or Commitments as a “Facility” or a “Tranche” hereunder). No Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to accept any loan modification offer, and may reject any such offer in its sole discretion. On the effective date of any Loan Modification applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances outstanding on such effective date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances, as the case may be, ratable with any revised Pro Rata Share of a Revolving Credit Lender in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility arising from any non-ratable Loan Modification to the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 10.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Loan Modification referred to above shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent in all material respects with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 with respect to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in Law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided hereunder and under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent or any Supplemental Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Issuers; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) each L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as an L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.09 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials obtained through the Platform or other information transmission systems (including electronic telecommunications) in connection with this Agreement unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any such Indemnitee’s Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons or other representatives, nor shall any Indemnitee or Parent or the Borrower (or the respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates of Parent or the Borrower) have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); provided that such waiver of special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Loan Parties to the extent such special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages are included in any third party claim with respect to which the applicable Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.05. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, and whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto. Should any investigation, litigation or proceeding be settled, or if there is a judgment against an Indemnitee in any such investigation, litigation or proceeding, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee in the manner set forth above. Each Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Borrower upon receipt of written notice of any claim or threat to institute a claim; provided that any failure by any indemnified person to give such notice shall not relieve the Borrower from the obligation to indemnify such Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes that are governed by Section 3.01.

165

Section 10.06 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent, to any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or any Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.07 Successors and Assigns.

(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, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (other than as a result of a transaction consummated in accordance with Section 7.04) and no Lender may sell, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(d), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(f) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(g). Any attempted or purported sale, assignment or other transfer by any party hereto of its rights and obligations in contravention of this Section 10.07 shall be null and void. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the limitations specified in clause (a) above and in this clause (b), any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that:

(i) (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Facility, no minimum amount shall need be assigned, and (B) in any case not described in clause (b)(i)(A) of this Section 10.07, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any Term Facility, in each case unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed conditioned or burdened) except such consent by the Borrower shall not be required if such assignment is to an Approved Fund; provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

166

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

(iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section 10.07 and, in addition (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or burdened) shall be required for any assignment; provided that (x) the Borrower’s consent shall not be required (1) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is in respect of a Term Facility and is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and (y) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment if it has not responded within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of written notice thereof to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the applicable assignor; (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed conditioned or burdened) shall be required for any assignment and (C) the consent of each L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility;

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except, (x) in the case of contemporaneous assignments by any Lender to one or more Approved Funds, only a single processing and recording fee shall be payable for such assignments, (y) in the case of assignments by any fronting bank in connection with the primary syndication of the Facilities and (z) the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive such processing and recording fee in the case of any assignment);

(v) no such assignment shall be made (A) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (A) or (B) to any natural person;

(vi) the assigning Lender shall deliver any Notes or, in lieu thereof, a lost note affidavit and indemnity reasonably acceptable to the Borrower evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; and

167

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits (and subject to the obligations) of a Lender under Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment, and to be subject to the obligations set forth in Section 10.08 and 10.15). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b) or Section 3.07(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(d).

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) and currencies of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents 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. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender (solely with respect to such Lender’s own interests only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

168

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or a Person that the Administrative Agent has identified in a notice to the Lenders as a Defaulting Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Agents 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 and (iv) for the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no oversight or responsibility of any kind for ensuring that the Lenders do not sell participations in violation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.07(d). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (f) or (g) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Sections and Section 10.16, it being understood that the documentation required under Section 10.16 shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b).

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive (and no Loan Party shall be required to make) any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in or in the interpretation of any Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable Participation.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment, and no foreclosure or other enforcement action in respect thereof, shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.12(b)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that an SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Sections and the obligations to provide the forms and certifications pursuant to Section 10.16 as if it were a Lender); provided that neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05). Each party hereto further agrees that (i) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (ii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender of record hereunder. Other than as expressly provided in this Section 10.07(g), (A) such Granting Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Granting Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Granting Lender in connection with such Granting Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not, other than in respect of matters unrelated to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) subject to Section 10.08, disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

169

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents, and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

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

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

(ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom;

(iii) if the Borrower is the assignee, upon the effectiveness of such assignment, such Term Loans will be deemed to be automatically and permanently cancelled;

(iv) if Parent is the assignee, upon the effectiveness of such assignment, Parent will be deemed to have contributed the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower as common equity and such Term Loans will be deemed to have been automatically and permanently cancelled; and

(v) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not use the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility to acquire such Term Loans.

170

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) any L/C Issuer, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, may resign as L/C Issuer and (ii) any Swingline Lender, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, may resign as Swingline Lender; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, shall have identified a successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and the effectiveness of such resignation shall be conditioned upon such successor assuming the rights and duties of the L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be. If any L/C Issuer resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If the Swingline Lender resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swingline Lender, (A) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, (B) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by the resigning L/C Issuer, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit and (C) the successor Swingline Lender shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption and acquire from the retiring Swingline Lender each outstanding Swingline Loan of such retiring Swingline Lender for a purchase price equal to par plus accrued interest.

(k) The applicable Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of (i) each SPC (other than any SPC that is treated as a disregarded entity of the Granting Lender for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that has exercised its option pursuant to Section 10.07(g) and (ii) each Participant, and the amount (including stated interest) of each such SPC’s and Participant’s interest in such Lender’s rights and/or 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 absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable rights and/or obligations of such Lender under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

171

Section 10.08 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors and numbering administration and settlement service providers and other Affiliates, on a need to know basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made by such Lender or Agent will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.08 and such Agent or Lender will be responsible for their compliance herewith); (b) in any legal, judicial, administrative proceeding or other compulsory process or otherwise as required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, in each case based on the advice of counsel (in which case such Agent or Lender, as applicable, agrees (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, to inform the Borrower promptly thereof prior to disclosure); (c) to any other party to this Agreement; (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder (in which case, Borrower is notified in advance of such disclosure, to the extent permitted by law); (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same (or at least as restrictive) as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any Eligible Assignee of, pledgee or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of, pledgee or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or a Lender’s current or prospective funding sources (provided that a disclosure to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender as a pledgee pursuant to Section 10.07(f) shall be made in accordance with customary banking practices in lieu of being subject to such agreement) or prospective direct or indirect controlled counterparties under Swap Contracts to be entered into in connection with the Loans made hereunder; (f) with the written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; (h) to the extent that such information is received by an Agent or Lender from a third party that is not, to such Agent’s or Lender’s knowledge, subject to contractual or fiduciary contractual obligations owing to any Loan Party; (i) to any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender or (j) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender). In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof (including any information relating to their respective businesses and operations), other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to such disclosure other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 by such Lender or Agent. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.08 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. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Assignment and Acceptance, the provisions of this Section 10.08 shall survive with respect to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, each other Agent and each Lender until the second anniversary of such Administrative Agent, Arranger, Agent or Lender ceasing to be an Administrative Agent, Arranger, Agent or Lender, respectively.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning Parent, the Borrower or a Subsidiary of any of the foregoing, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.

Section 10.09 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Secured Party (and/or its applicable Affiliates) is authorized at any time and from time to time without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), other than deposits in fiduciary accounts as to which a Loan Party is acting as fiduciary for another Person who is not a Loan Party, at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Secured Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Secured Party (and/or its applicable Affiliates); provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Secured Party may have.

Section 10.10 No Pledge, Security from Foreign Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, in no event shall the direct or indirect assets of any Foreign Subsidiary constitute security, or shall the proceeds of such assets be available, for payment of the Obligations of the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary, it being understood that (a) the Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary that is directly owned by a Domestic Subsidiary does not constitute such an asset (and may be pledged but only to the extent permitted in Section 6.13) and (b) the provisions hereof shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, limit, reduce or otherwise diminish in any respect the Borrower’s obligations to make any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Participant shall have any rights of setoff under Section 10.09 or otherwise.

Section 10.11 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 10.12 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by fax or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by fax or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by fax or other electronic transmission.

173

Section 10.13 Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with the provisions of any other written agreement between you and the Arrangers or the other Agents and/or their respective Affiliates in respect of one or more of the Facilities that by the terms of such documentation survive the termination or expiration thereof and/or the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, constitute the entire 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. It is expressly agreed and confirmed by the parties hereto that the provisions of the Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the occurrence of the Closing Date, and shall continue in effect thereafter in accordance with their terms. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. Without limiting Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

Section 10.14 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation (other than contingent indemnification or other obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding (other than Letters of Credit which have been Cash Collateralized).

Section 10.15 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.15, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 10.16 Tax Forms.

(a) Each Lender and Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed executed documentation and information as will permit payments hereunder to be made without withholding, or as will permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the applicable rate of withholding and whether such Lender or Agent is subject to information reporting. The completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 10.16(b) and (c) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable and good faith judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

174

(b) (i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to Section 10.16(b)(ii), each Lender and Agent that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (or a disregarded Subsidiary thereof) (each, a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent whichever of the following is applicable, two (2) duly signed, properly completed, copies of (x) either IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (y) IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or (z) IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or any successor thereto and a certificate that establishes in writing to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is not (i) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code and (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Borrower with the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall promptly submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms and/or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant Governmental Authority or such other evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in either case, in its sole discretion)) as may then be presented by then current United States laws and regulations to avoid or reduce, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, in each case, (1) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (2) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or other evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, due to a designation of a new Lending Office) and (3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Foreign Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion, if any, of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as prescribed by the last sentence of Section 10.16(a) or as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in either case, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), two (2) duly signed, properly completed, original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with all required supporting documentation, and any other certificate or statement of exemption or reduction required under the Law, to establish that such Foreign Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Foreign Lender.

(iii) The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may deduct and withhold any Taxes required by any Laws to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents.

175

(c) Each Lender and Agent that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (or a disregarded Subsidiary thereof) (each, a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or in the case of a Participant or SPC, to the relevant Lender) two (2) duly signed, properly completed, original copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, by means of an assignment on the date it becomes a Participant) and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding. If such U.S. Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent and/or the Borrower may withhold from any payment to such U.S. Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable backup withholding imposed by the Code.

(d) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any Tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Foreign Lender or U.S. Lender, such Foreign Lender or U.S. Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes imposed or asserted by such Governmental Authority and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), in each case whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph.

The obligation of the Foreign Lenders or U.S. Lenders, severally, under this Section 10.16 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayments of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.16, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.
