ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth:

(a) each Term Loan Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in the principal amount equal to its Term Loan Commitment; and

(b) each Revolving Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period (or until any earlier termination of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender) in accordance with the terms hereof and the applicable Incremental Loan Amendment, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Loan Amendment, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

Section 2.02 Loans. (a) Each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.18(e)(ii), (x) any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) (A) except for Swingline Loans, an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $250,000 or (B) for Swingline Loans, an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $250,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.11 and 2.12, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Lender to make such Loan and the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than eight Eurodollar Borrowings in the aggregate outstanding hereunder at any one time (or such greater number of Eurodollar Borrowings as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Except with respect to Loans made pursuant to Section 2.18(e)(ii), each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate from time to time not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account as directed by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders within two Business Days.

49

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(c), and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) shall cease.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable.

Section 2.03 Borrowing Procedure. To request a Revolving Borrowing or Term Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission, a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(a) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Revolving Loans or Term Loans;

(b) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing;

(c) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(d) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(e) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”;

(f) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02(c); and

(g) that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(b) and (c) are satisfied as of the date of the notice.

50

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04 Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to (i) the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Loan Lender, the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Term Loan Lender as provided in Section 2.09, (ii) the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Revolving Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date and (iii) the Swingline Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of (x) the Revolving Maturity Date and (y) the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested.

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

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.04(b) and (c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to pay, and perform, the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents. 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 entries, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(e) Any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly (and, in all events, within five Business Days of receipt of such written notice) prepare, execute and deliver at its own expense to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in the form of Exhibit X-0, X-0 xx X-0, as the case may be. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

51

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage of the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period from and including the date of the commencement of the Revolving Availability Period to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates.

Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.06 Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(c), the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, overdue interest in respect of each Loan, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) 2.0% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Sections 2.06(a) and (b) and (ii) 2.0% plus the rate otherwise applicable to ABR Loans of the respective Class as provided in Section 2.06(a) and (y) all other overdue amounts payable hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in Section 2.06(a) (in either case, the “Default Rate”).

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.06(c) (including interest on past due interest) and all interest accrued but unpaid on or after the Revolving Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 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 Insolvency Proceeding.

Section 2.07 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date (or, if earlier, upon the making of Term Loans hereunder on the Closing Date). The Revolving Commitments, the Swingline Commitment and the LC Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date. The Revolving Commitments, the Swingline Commitment and the LC Commitments also shall terminate or be reduced as, and to the extent, provided in Section 2.10.

53

(b) At its option, the Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less than $500,000 and (ii) the Revolving Commitments shall not be terminated or reduced if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the aggregate amount of Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.07(b) at least two Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such shorter period of time as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) (which effective date shall be a Business Day), specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.07 may expressly state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of new credit facilities, similar new Indebtedness or other refinancing transactions and which effectiveness will result in the immediate payment in full in cash of all Obligations and the Cash Collateralization of all outstanding Letters of Credit, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to the specified notice effective date) if such condition is not satisfied or not reasonably likely to be satisfied (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) and the Borrower shall pay any amounts due under Section 2.13, if any, in connection with any such revocation. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any conversion or continuation that, if made, would result in more than eight Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any one time (or such greater number of Eurodollar Borrowings as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). This Section 2.08 shall not apply to a Swingline Borrowing, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission, a duly completed and executed Interest Election Request to the Administrative Agent not later than the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing or Term Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.

(c) Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, or if outstanding Borrowings are being combined, allocation to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

54

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If an Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require, by notice to the Borrower, that (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.09 Amortization of Term Borrowings. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Term Loan Lenders, on the dates set forth on Annex II, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the immediately following Business Day (each such date, a “Term Loan Repayment Date”), a principal amount of the Term Loans equal to the amount set forth on Annex II for such Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.10), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(b) To the extent not previously irrevocably paid in full in cash, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, or to permanently reduce any portion of the Commitment, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.10; provided that each partial prepayment or permanent reduction in any Commitment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less than $250,000 or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of such Borrowing.

55

(c) Asset Sales. Not later than five Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds (other than Excluded Net Cash Proceeds) of any Asset Sale by any Company, the Borrower shall apply 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.10(g); provided that:

(i) so long as no Event of Default shall then exist or would arise therefrom, up to $25,000,000 in the aggregate of such proceeds in any fiscal year of the Borrower (other than in connection with the proceeds from an Asset Sale pursuant to Section 6.06(r) which shall be applied as provided above in this clause (c) without regard to this proviso) shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that the Borrower shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Cash Proceeds are reasonably expected to (I) be reinvested in assets (other than working capital) used or useful in the business of any Loan Party within 12 months following the date of such Asset Sale, (II) be used within 12 months following the date of such Asset Sale to comply with applicable capital requirements or finance the working capital needs of a Broker-Dealer Restricted Subsidiary, an operating regulated entity or a licensed mortgage Restricted Subsidiary, or an Equivalent Regulated Subsidiary (or to make Investments permitted to be made under Section 6.04 which will be so used by a Broker-Dealer Restricted Subsidiary, an operating regulated entity or a licensed mortgage Restricted Subsidiary, or an Equivalent Regulated Subsidiary) or (III) repay Excluded Debt and to correspondingly reduce commitments (if any) with respect thereto within 12 months following the date of such Asset Sale; and

56

(ii) if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be so reinvested or used within such 12 month period as provided in preceding clause (i), such unused portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory prepayment as provided above in this Section 2.10(c).

(i) so long as no Event of Default shall then exist or would arise therefrom, (I) such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that the Borrower shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such proceeds are reasonably expected to be used to repair, replace or restore any property in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid or to reinvest in assets (other than working capital) used or useful in the business of any Loan Party within 12 months following the date of receipt of such proceeds or (II) up to $25,000,000 in the aggregate of such Net Cash Proceeds in any fiscal year of the Borrower shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent the Borrower shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such proceeds are reasonably expected to be used within 12 months following the date of receipt of such proceeds to comply with applicable capital requirements or finance the working capital needs of a Broker-Dealer Restricted Subsidiary, an operating regulated entity or a licensed mortgage Restricted Subsidiary, or an Equivalent Regulated Subsidiary (or to make Investments permitted to be made under Section 6.04 which will be so used by a Broker-Dealer Restricted Subsidiary, an operating regulated entity or a licensed mortgage Restricted Subsidiary, or an Equivalent Regulated Subsidiary); and

(f) Excess Cash Flow. No later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period and (ii) the date on which the financial statements with respect to such fiscal year in which such Excess Cash Flow Period occurs are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a), the Borrower shall make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.10(g) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the remainder of (if positive) (A) (x) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended if the Total Leverage Ratio at the end of such period is greater than or equal to 2.00:1.00, (y) 25% of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended if the Total Leverage Ratio at the end of such period is less than 2.00:1.00 but greater than or equal to 1.50:1.00 and (z) 0% of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended if the Total Leverage Ratio at the end of such period is less than 1.50:1.00 minus (B) the aggregate principal amount of optional prepayments of Term Loans (excluding as a result of any repurchase of Term Loans pursuant to Section 10.04(j)) or Revolving Loans (accompanied by a permanent reduction in the corresponding Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to such prepayment of Revolving Loans) pursuant to Section 2.10(a) made during such Excess Cash Flow Period to the extent made with Internally Generated Funds.

57

(g) Application of Prepayments.

(i) Prior to any optional prepayment hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(g)(iii), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.10(g)(i); provided, however, that any optional prepayment of Term Loans made by the Borrower prior to July 1, 2014 shall be applied first to reduce the scheduled payment on the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(a) that is due on July 1, 2014. Any prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be applied to reduce the scheduled payments under Section 2.09(a) on a pro rata basis among the payments remaining to be paid on each Term Loan Repayment Date. Each repayment of Loans pursuant to Sections 2.10(c)–(f) shall be applied (x) first, to the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and to reduce the scheduled payments required under Section 2.09(a) on a pro rata basis among the payments remaining to be paid on each Term Loan Repayment Date; provided, however, the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale shall be applied (i) first, to reduce the scheduled payment on the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(a) that is due on July 1, 2014 and (ii) second, to the extent in excess thereof, to reduce the remaining scheduled payments required under Section 2.09(a) on a pro rata basis among the payments remaining to be paid on each Term Loan Repayment Date, and (y) second, to the extent there are prepayment amounts remaining after the application of such prepayments under clause first, such excess amounts shall be applied to the prepayment of outstanding Revolving Loans (but without any corresponding reduction in Revolving Commitments unless an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, in which case the Revolving Commitments shall be so reduced) and the Borrower shall comply with Section 2.10(b).

(ii) Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.10 to the prepayment of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be applied, as applicable, first to reduce outstanding ABR Term Loans and ABR Revolving Loans, respectively. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Loans, as applicable.

(iii) Notice of Prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by written notice of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment and (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Such notice to the Lenders may be by electronic communication; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.10(g)(iii) may expressly state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of new credit facilities, similar

58

new Indebtedness or other refinancing transactions and which effectiveness will result in the immediate payment in full in cash of all Obligations, the termination of all Commitments and the Cash Collateralization of all outstanding Letters of Credit, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to the specified notice effective date) if such condition is not satisfied or not reasonably likely to be satisfied (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) and the Borrower shall pay any amounts due under Section 2.13, if any, in connection with any such revocation. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment.

(iv) Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.10. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.06.

(h) Soft Call Protection. (i) Any prepayment with respect to all or any portion of the Term Loans with the proceeds of, or any conversion of Term Loans into, any new or replacement tranche of term loans bearing interest at an Effective Yield less than the Effective Yield applicable to the Term Loans (as such comparative rates are determined by the Administrative Agent) and (ii) any amendment to this Agreement that, directly or indirectly, reduces the Effective Yield applicable to the Term Loans (in each case, with original issue discount and upfront fees (but excluding customary arranging, underwriting or similar fees not shared with all Lenders), which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of original issue discount, being equated to interest rate margins in a manner consistent with generally accepted financial practice based on an assumed four year life to maturity) shall be accompanied by a prepayment premium equal to 1.00% of the amount of such Term Loans repaid or repriced, if such repayment or repricing is effected prior to the one year anniversary of the Closing Date (it being understood and agreed that any Lender that withholds its consent to any amendment or waiver of this Agreement the effect of which is to reduce or waive the premium payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(h) and is replaced pursuant to Section 2.16(b) shall be entitled to the payment of such premium by the Borrower at the time of such replacement). Any such determination by the Administrative Agent as contemplated by the preceding sentence shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and all Lenders, absent manifest error.

Section 2.11 Alternate Rate of Interest. If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period (each of clauses (i) and (ii), a “Market Disruption Event”);

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request

59

that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. During any period in which a Market Disruption Event is in effect, the Borrower may request that the Administrative Agent confirm that the circumstances giving rise to the Market Disruption Event continue to be in effect; provided that (A) the Borrower shall not be permitted to submit any such request more than once in any 30-day period and (B) nothing contained in this Section 2.11 or the failure to provide confirmation of the continued effectiveness of such Market Disruption Event shall in any way affect the Administrative Agent’s or Required Lenders’ right to provide any additional notices of a Market Disruption Event as provided in this Section 2.11.

Section 2.12 Increased Costs; Change in Legality. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes indemnified pursuant to Section 2.15 and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its Loans, principal, letters of credit, Commitments or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, it being understood that, to the extent duplicative of the provisions of Section 2.15, this Section 2.12 shall not apply to Taxes. The protection of this Section 2.12 shall be available to each Lender and the Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

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

60

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 2.12(a) or (b) shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within three Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 365 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 365-day period referred to above shall be extended to indicate the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness (as determined in good faith by such Lender)) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Loan (or to convert an ABR Loan to a Eurodollar Loan or to continue a Eurodollar Loan for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn by such Lender by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent; and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in Section 2.12(f).

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in making its determination regarding any increase described in this Section 2.12, each Lender shall treat the Borrower in a similar fashion as all similarly situated borrowers, as determined by such Lender in its reasonable discretion. Each Lender agrees that it will not claim from the Borrower the payment of any of the amounts referred to in this Section 2.12 if it is not generally claiming similar compensation from its other similarly situated customers in similar circumstances.

61

(f) For purposes of Section 2.12(e), a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

Section 2.13 Breakage Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment, whether optional or mandatory, of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (together with any interest payable at the Default Rate, if then applicable) that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within three Business Days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.14 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or Reimbursement Obligations, or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 Attn: KCG Holdings, Inc. Account Manager, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due

62

hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim (including pursuant to Section 10.08) or otherwise (including by exercise of its rights under the Security Documents), obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders entitled thereto to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders entitled thereto ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.14(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any Company or any Affiliates thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.14(c) shall apply). Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Legal Requirements, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. If under applicable Insolvency Laws any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 2.14(c) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Secured Party is entitled under this Section 2.14(c) to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written 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 the Issuing Bank 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 Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.14(d), 2.17(d), 2.18(d), 2.18(e) or 10.03(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

63

Section 2.15 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and free and clear of and without deduction, reduction or withholding for any and all Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable Legal Requirements to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the relevant Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions, reductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions, reductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the relevant Loan Party, if applicable, shall make such deductions, reductions or withholdings and (iii) the relevant Loan Party, if applicable, shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, or at the option of the Administrative Agent reimburse it for payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within three Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) and any penalties, interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank (in each case, with a copy delivered concurrently to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, 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 clause (d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and in any event within 30 days following any such payment being due, by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of

64

the Tax Return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank for any incremental Taxes or expenses that may become payable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as a result of any such failure.

(f) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender shall (i) furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent either (a) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form), (b) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form) (c) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8EXP (or successor form) or (d) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or successor form) (with any required attachments), certifying, in each case, to such Foreign Lender’s legal entitlement to an exemption or reduction from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to all interest payments hereunder, and (ii) to the extent it may lawfully do so at such times, upon reasonable request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide a new Form W-8BEN (or successor form), Form W-8ECI (or successor form), Form W-8EXP (or successor form) or Form W-8IMY (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form to reconfirm any complete exemption from, or any entitlement to a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any interest payment hereunder; provided that any Foreign Lender that is relying on the so-called “portfolio interest exemption” within the meaning of Section 881(c) of the Code shall also furnish a “Non-Bank Certificate” in the form of Exhibit K if it is furnishing a Form W-8BEN. Any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall (i) furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form), or shall otherwise establish an exemption from U.S. backup withholding and (ii) to the extent it may lawfully do so at such times, upon reasonable request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide a new Form W-9 (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form.

(g) Each Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower to avoid the imposition of withholding obligations under FATCA with respect to such Lender to the extent such Lender is legally able to do so without material cost or other material detriment. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or an assignee) determines in its reasonable discretion that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or the Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is required to repay all or a portion of such

65

refund to the relevant Governmental Authority, the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee), shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrower that is required to be repaid (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) within three Business Days after receipt of written notice that the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is required to repay such refund (or a portion thereof) to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in this Section 2.15(g) shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or assignee) to make available its Tax Returns or any other information which it deems confidential or privileged to the Borrower or any other person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or assignee) be required to pay any amount to the Borrower the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other person.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.16 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b), or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce materially amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12(a), 2.12(b) or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (iii) would not require such Lender to take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses submitted by such Lender to the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. In the event (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or (b), (ii) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.12(e), (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.15, (iv) any Lender fails to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of 100% of the Lenders or 100% of all affected Lenders and, which, in each case, has been consented to by the Required Lenders, as the case may be, or (v) any Lender or the Issuing Bank defaults in its obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit, as the case may be, or other extensions of credit hereunder, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or the Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee which shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) except

66

in the case of clause (iv) above if the effect of such amendment, waiver or other modification of the applicable Loan Document would cure all Defaults and Events of Default then ongoing, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any applicable Legal Requirement, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or the Issuing Bank in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest and any prepayment premium or penalty (if any) accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or LC Disbursements of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, respectively, affected by such assignment plus all Fees and other amounts owing to or accrued for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (including any amounts under Sections 2.10(h), 2.12 and 2.13); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s claim for compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b) or notice under Section 2.12(e) or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.15, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or the Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.12(e), or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.15, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.16(a)), or if such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b) in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.12(e) or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.15 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender and the Issuing Bank as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.16(b).

(c) Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then (i) during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender”, and the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments and Term Loans shall be excluded for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, except that the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments and Term Loans shall be included for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on the matters set forth in Section 10.02(b)(i)–(x) (including the granting of any consents or waivers) only to the extent that any such matter disproportionately affects such Defaulting Lender; (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (A) any voluntary prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall, if the Borrower so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Exposure of other Lenders in accordance with Section 2.10(a) as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (B) any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.10 shall, if the Borrower so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans and Revolving Exposure of other Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender) in accordance with Section 2.10 as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving

67

Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (B); (iii) the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment, Revolving Loans and LC Exposure shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee payable to Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05(a) in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.05(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; (iv) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: (A) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments but, in any case, only to the extent the sum of the Revolving Exposures of all Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders does not exceed the total of the Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders; (B) if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) prepay such Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender and (y) Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; (C) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this paragraph (iv), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any LC Participation Fee to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized; (D) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this paragraph (iv), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ reallocated LC Exposure; and (E) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this paragraph (iv), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all Commitment Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and LC Participation Fee payable under Section 2.05 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated; (v) the Revolving Exposure of all Lenders as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender; and (vi) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateralized by the Borrower in accordance with paragraph (iv) of this Section 2.16(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with paragraph (iv)(A) of this Section 2.16(c) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein). In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure and Revolving Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment.

For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Funding Default” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the definition of “Defaulting Lender”, (ii) “Defaulted Revolving Loan” means the Revolving Loans of a Defaulting Lender, (iii) “Default Period” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the period commencing on the date of the

68

applicable Funding Default and ending on the earliest of the following dates: (a) the date on which all Commitments are cancelled or terminated and/or the Obligations and the other Secured Obligations are declared or become immediately due and payable, (b) with respect to any Funding Default (other than any such Funding Default arising pursuant to clause (e) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender”), the date on which (1) the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero (whether by the funding by such Defaulting Lender of any Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender or by the non-pro rata application of any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms hereof or any combination thereof) and (2) such Defaulting Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a written reaffirmation of its intention to honor its obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Commitment(s), and (c) the date on which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders waive all Funding Defaults of such Defaulting Lender in writing, and (iv) “Default Excess” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the excess, if any, of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans of all Lenders (calculated as if all Defaulting Lenders (including such Defaulting Lender) had funded all of their respective Defaulted Revolving Loans) over the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender.

No amount of the Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.16(c), performance by the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.16(c). The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.16(c) are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

Section 2.17 Swingline Loans. (a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Loan Amendment, the Swingline Lender may agree to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (and upon each such Borrowing of Swingline Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that such Borrowing will not result in) (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Commitment or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance, in whole or in part, an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission, a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Swingline Loan, the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02(c), and that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(b) and (c) are satisfied as of the date of the notice. Each Swingline Loan shall be (and shall be maintained as) an ABR Loan. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline Lender, if any, or otherwise to an account as directed by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.18(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank). The Swingline Lender shall endeavor

69

to fund each Swingline Loan by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, and shall in all events fund each Swingline Loan by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. The Borrower shall not request a Swingline Loan if at the time of or immediately after giving effect to the Credit Extension contemplated by such request a Default has occurred and is continuing or would immediately thereafter result therefrom. Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $250,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 above such amount.

(c) Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent before 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of repayment.

(d) Participations. The Swingline Lender (i) may at any time in its discretion, and (ii) as directed by the Administrative Agent from time to time on not less than one Business Day’s written notice to the Swingline Lender, shall, by written notice given to the Administrative Agent (provided such notice requirement shall not apply if the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent are the same entity) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day following such notice require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or a reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (so long as such payment shall not cause such Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment). Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this Section 2.17(d) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired by the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.17(d), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent. Any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section 2.17(d), as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(e) Resignation or Removal of the Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender may resign as the Swingline Lender hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Following such notice of resignation from the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower (with the Borrower’s agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the

70

Administrative Agent and the successor Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline Lender. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender. From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement, (i) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans to be made by it thereafter and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of the Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(e) or otherwise, the Swingline Lender may not resign until such time as a successor Swingline Lender has been appointed.

Section 2.18 Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Loan Amendment, the Borrower may request the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank may agree, pursuant to the applicable Incremental Loan Amendment, to issue Letters of Credit for its own account or the account of another Loan Party in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period (provided that the Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and shall be jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of another Loan Party). The Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, and the Borrower shall not request the issuance of, any Letter of Credit at any time if after giving effect to such issuance, the LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment or the total Revolving Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Commitments. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deliver by hand, facsimile or other electronic communication an LC Request to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or such later date and time as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank).

A request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank:

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

(ii) the face amount thereof;

(iii) the expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the close of business on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date);

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

71

(v) whether the Letter of Credit is to be issued for its own account or for the account of another Loan Party (provided that the Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and shall be jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of another Loan Party);

(vi) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing thereunder;

(vii) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing thereunder; and

(viii) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require.

A request for an amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank:

(i) the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended;

(ii) the proposed date of amendment, renewal or extension thereof (which shall be a Business Day);

(iii) the nature of the proposed amendment, renewal or extension; and

(iv) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require.

If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit; provided that the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall apply in respect of all such applications. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and, upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment, (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments and (iii) the conditions set forth in Article IV in respect of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension shall have been satisfied. Unless the Issuing Bank shall agree otherwise, no Letter of Credit shall be in an initial amount less than $50,000.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (x) the date which is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that this Section 2.18(c) shall not prevent the Issuing Bank from agreeing that a Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each (and, in any case, not to extend beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date) unless the Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, if any, hereby irrevocably grants to each Revolving Lender, if any, and each Revolving Lender, if any, hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, if any, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender, if any, hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the

72

Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, if any, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.18(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender, if any, acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.18(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (so long as such payment shall not cause such Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment).

(e) Reimbursement.

(i) If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 2.17(b) that such payment be financed with ABR Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans.

(ii) If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, or if the amount is not financed pursuant to the proviso to Section 2.18(e)(i), the Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to the above paragraph prior to the time that any Revolving Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as appropriate.

(iii) If any Revolving Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, each of the Borrower and such Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with the foregoing to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the Default Rate, and (ii) in the case of such Lender, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.

73

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower as provided in Section 2.18(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that fails to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.18, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder, (v) the fact that a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (vi) any material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business or prospects of any Company, or (vii) any other fact, circumstance or event whatsoever. None of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, exemplary, special, punitive or other indirect damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) with respect to such a determination, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly give written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligations to the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such Reimbursement Obligations set forth in Section 2.18(e)).

74

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest payable on demand, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the Default Rate. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.18(h) shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(i), the Borrower shall deposit in the LC Sub-Account, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (g) of Section 7.01. Funds in the LC Sub-Account shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations of the Borrower in accordance with Article VIII. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount plus any accrued interest with respect to such amounts (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall, in accordance with Article VIII, be returned to the Borrower promptly after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(j) Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders (or Affiliates of Revolving Lenders) to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement, with the consent of each of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Issuing Bank (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Revolving Lender(s). Any Revolving Lender (or Affiliate thereof) designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this Section 2.18(j) shall be deemed (in addition to being a Revolving Lender) to be the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Revolving Lender (or Affiliate thereof), and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Revolving Lender (or Affiliate thereof) in its capacity as Issuing Bank, as the context shall require.

(k) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank or any such additional Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c). From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement or addition, as applicable, (i) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and

75

(ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or such addition or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or such addition and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. If at any time there is more than one Issuing Bank hereunder, the Borrower may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Bank is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.

(l) Other. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i) any Order of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Legal Requirement applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve, liquidity or Capital Requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Bank deems material to it; or

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of general application of the Issuing Bank.

(m) The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the Issuing Bank 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.

Section 2.19 Extensions of Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments. (a) (i) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date request that all or a portion of the Term Loans outstanding at the time of such request (any such Term Loans, “Existing Term Loans”) be converted to extend the scheduled final maturity date of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.19. Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment with respect to any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the Existing Term Loans and which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be identical to the Existing Term Loans, except that (v) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of all or a portion of any principal amount of such Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Existing Term Loans (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.09 with respect to the Existing Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were extended, in each case as more particularly set forth in Section 2.19(c)) (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the weighted average life to maturity of such Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Existing Term Loans), (w) (A) the interest rates (including

76

through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and premiums with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than those for the Existing Term Loans and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (x) subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.10, (A) the Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment premiums) as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and (B) the Extended Term Loans may participate with the Existing Term Loans on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (y) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the Final Maturity Date and (z) the terms of any Extended Term Loans may also contain other differences from the Existing Term Loans as are approved by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, so long as such differences are not material and not adverse to the Lenders of the Existing Term Loans. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loans from which they were converted.

(ii) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time after the commencement of the Revolving Availability Period request that all of the Revolving Commitments existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Commitment” and any related Revolving Loans, “Existing Revolving Loans”; each Existing Revolving Commitment and related Existing Revolving Loans together being referred to as the “Existing Revolving Class”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all of the principal amount of the Existing Revolving Loans related to such Existing Revolving Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Commitments” and any related Existing Revolving Loans, “Extended Revolving Loans”; each Extended Revolving Commitment and related Extended Revolving Loans together the “Extended Revolving Class”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.19. Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment with respect to any Extended Revolving Commitments, 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 Existing Revolving Class and which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Revolving Extension Request” and, together with a Term Loan Extension Request, each an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established thereunder, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Commitments, except that (w) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Existing Revolving Class, (x) (A) the interest rates, interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and premiums with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be different than those for the Existing Revolving Class and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (y) (A) the undrawn revolving commitment fee rate and letter of credit fees with respect to such Extended Revolving Class may be different than such rate for the Existing Revolving Class and (B) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the Final Maturity Date and (z) the terms of any Extended Revolving Commitments may also contain other differences from the Existing Revolving Class as are approved by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, so long as such differences are not material and not adverse to the Lenders of such Existing Revolving Class; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19 or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of

77

Extended Revolving Loans with respect to the Extended Revolving Class shall be made on a pro rata basis with any borrowings and repayments of the Existing Revolving Loans of the Existing Revolving Class (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Extension Amendment and may include technical changes related to the borrowing, replacement Letter of Credit and Swingline Loan procedures of the Existing Revolving Class), (2) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to the Existing Revolving Class set forth in Section 10.04 and (3) subject to Section 2.07(b), permanent repayments of Extended Revolving Loans (and corresponding permanent reductions in the related Extended Revolving Commitments) shall be permitted as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments converted into Extended Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Commitments from the Existing Revolving Commitments of the Existing Revolving Class from which they were converted.

(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least 15 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Class or Existing Classes are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purpose of this Section 2.19. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Existing Term Loans and/or Existing Revolving Commitments subject to such Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate amount of the Existing Term Loans or the Existing Revolving Commitments subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments shall be converted to Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments included in each such Extension Election (subject to rounding). Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Revolving Commitment into an Extended Revolving Commitment, such Extended Revolving Commitment shall be treated identically to all other Revolving Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Revolving Lender in respect of Swingline Loans under Section 2.17 and Letters of Credit under Section 2.18, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the date on which the Swingline Loan has to be repaid and/or the last day for issuing Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued (pursuant to mechanics to be specified in the applicable Extension Amendment) so long as the Swingline Lender and/or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, have consented to such extensions (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).

(c) Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.19(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.02, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. In addition to any terms and changes required or

78

permitted by Section 2.19(a), each Extension Amendment (i) shall amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.09 with respect to the Existing Term Loans to reduce each scheduled repayment amount for the Existing Term Loans in the same proportion as the amount of Existing Term Loans is to be converted pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any repayment amount payable with respect to any individual Existing Term Loan that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof) and (ii) may amend this Agreement to ensure ratable participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans between Extended Revolving Commitments and Existing Revolving Commitments. It is understood and agreed that each Lender hereunder has consented, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent, to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Section 2.19 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith.

In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (i) as to the enforceability of such Extension Amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby (in the case of such other Loan Documents as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence), (ii) to the effect that such Extension Amendment, including the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments provided for therein, does not conflict with or violate the terms and provisions of Section 10.02 and (iii) covering such other matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) on any date on which any Existing Class is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clause (a) above (an “Extension Date”), (x) in the case of the Existing Term Loans of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Existing Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Term Loans, and (y) in the case of the Existing Revolving Commitments of each Extending Lender, the aggregate amount of such corresponding Existing Revolving Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Extended Revolving Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date (and any related participations shall be reduced proportionately), and such Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of Revolving Commitments from the corresponding Existing Revolving Commitment Class, and (ii) if, on any Extension Date, any Revolving Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under an applicable Extended Revolving Commitment, such Revolving Loans shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Loans and Existing Revolving Loans in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Existing Revolving Commitments to Extended Revolving Commitments.

(e) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, in each case to a given Lender, was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error in the receipt and processing of an Extension Election timely submitted by such Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Amendment”) within 15 days following the effective date of such Extension Amendment, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Amendment shall (i) provide for the conversion and extension of Existing Term Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments (and related Revolving Exposure), as the case may be, in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments (and related Revolving Exposure) in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender

79

received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans or Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension Amendment, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree (including conditions of the type required to be satisfied for the effectiveness of an Extension Amendment described in Section 2.19(c)), and (iii) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.19(c).

(f) No exchange or conversion of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.19 shall (x) be made at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and no Term Loan Extension Request or Revolving Extension Request shall be delivered to the Lenders at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and (y) constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.20 Increases of the Revolving Commitments.

(a) The Borrower may, not more than three times after the Closing Date, at the Borrower’s written request to the Administrative Agent, initially incur Revolving Commitments and thereafter increase the then effective aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments theretofore incurred; provided that:

(i) the aggregate amount of all Revolving Commitments incurred and/or increased pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall not exceed $50,000,000 and the aggregate amount of any requested incurrence and/or increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or such lower amount that represents all remaining availability pursuant to this Section 2.20);

(ii) the Borrower and the Guarantors shall execute and deliver such agreements, instruments and documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with such increases and at the time of any such proposed increase;

(iii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur after giving effect to such incurrence and/or increase and the application of proceeds (if any) therefrom;

(iv) the Borrower shall be in compliance, on a pro forma basis, with each of the financial covenants specified in Sections 6.10(a), (b) and (c), as of the most recent Test Period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), as the case may be, after giving effect to any such incurrence and/or increases (and the application of proceeds therefrom, if any);

(v) the initial Incremental Loan Amendment entered into pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall set forth, inter alia, (I) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans and the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage, (II) the initial Revolving Maturity Date and (III) the LC Commitment and the Swingline Commitment;

(vi) each additional Revolving Commitment provided pursuant to this Section 2.20, and all Revolving Loans made pursuant thereto, (I) shall be effected through an increase in the then existing Revolving Commitments and shall be part of the same tranche of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans, (II) shall have the same maturity date as, and shall not require any commitment reduction that is not otherwise applicable to, the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans then in effect or outstanding, and (III) shall have the same Applicable Margin and Commitment

80

Fee as are applicable to the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans then in effect or outstanding; provided, however, the Applicable Margin and the Commitment Fee in respect of such additional Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans may be higher so long as the Applicable Margin and the Commitment Fee for the other Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans are automatically increased as and to extent necessary to eliminate any deficiency;

(vii) the Revolving Loans made pursuant to such initial and/or additional Revolving Commitments (and the related guarantees and security) shall be permitted under the Second Lien Notes Indenture and/or any Permitted Refinancing Second Lien Notes Indenture, as applicable, and shall constitute “First Lien Obligations” (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) for purposes of the Intercreditor Agreement; and

(viii) (I) all Revolving Loans (and related Obligations) incurred pursuant to any Revolving Commitments shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be secured by the Collateral Documents, and guaranteed by the Guarantees, on a pari passu basis with all other Loans (and Obligations), and (II) all other terms and conditions applicable to such initial and/or additional Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans shall be the same as those contained herein or otherwise applicable to the then existing Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans.

(b) Any request under this Section 2.20 shall be submitted by the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly forward copies to the Lenders). The Borrower may also specify any fees offered to those Lenders (the “Increasing Lenders”) that agree to provide and/or increase the principal amount of their Revolving Commitments, which fees may be variable based upon the amount by which any such Lender is willing to provide and/or increase the principal amount of its Revolving Commitment. No Lender shall have any obligation, express or implied, to offer to provide and/or increase the aggregate principal amount of its Revolving Commitment. Only the consent of each Increasing Lender shall be required for the provision or increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.20. No Lender which declines to provide or increase the principal amount of its Revolving Commitment may be replaced with respect to its existing Revolving Commitment as a result thereof without such Lender’s consent.

(c) Each Increasing Lender shall as soon as reasonably practicable specify in writing the amount of the proposed initial Revolving Commitments or increase of the Revolving Commitments that it is willing to provide or assume (provided that any Lender not so responding within five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be specified by the Administrative Agent) shall be deemed to have declined such a request). The Borrower may accept some or all of the offered amounts or designate new lenders that are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as additional Lenders hereunder in accordance with this Section 2.20 (each such new lender being a “New Lender”), which New Lenders may assume all or a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Revolving Commitments or any increase thereto, as applicable. The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall have discretion jointly to adjust the allocation of the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Commitments or any increase thereto, as applicable, among Increasing Lenders and New Lenders.

Any such incurrence or increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to (A) the principal amount that Increasing Lenders are willing to assume as the principal amount of their Revolving Commitments or any increase thereto, as applicable, plus (B) the principal amount offered by New Lenders with respect to the Revolving Commitments, in either case as adjusted by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.20. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.02, the Administrative Agent is expressly permitted, without the consent of the other Lenders, to amend the Loan Documents to the extent necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent to give effect to any incurrence or increases pursuant to this Section 2.20.

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 the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders (with references in this Article III to the Companies being references thereto after giving effect to the Transactions unless otherwise expressly stated) that:

Section 3.01 Organization; Powers; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Each Company (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c)

82

(x) in the case of each Broker-Dealer Restricted Subsidiary, has obtained the Broker-Dealer Licenses and Memberships and Broker-Dealer Registrations, which, in each case, are the licenses, memberships and registrations necessary in the normal conduct of its business and are in full force and effect, and (y) in the case of each other Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower, has obtained all licenses and permits that are necessary in the normal conduct of its business, which licenses and permits are in full force and effect, (d) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (e) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, except, in the case of clauses (c), (d) and (e) above, to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability; Perfected Liens. (a) The Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party are within such Loan Party’s powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action on the part of each such Loan Party. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority, FINRA or any other person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described on Schedule 3.02(a), which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the filings referred to in clause (b) below or (iii) such other consents, authorizations, filings and notices with respect to the Acquisition the failure to receive or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

(b) Each Security Document is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal, valid and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, the Collateral described therein as security for the Secured Obligations and (i) when financing statements and other filings in appropriate form are filed in the appropriate offices required by this Agreement and such Security Documents for the Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement and such other filings, and (ii) upon the taking of possession or control by the Collateral Agent of the Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control (which possession or control shall be given to the Collateral Agent to the extent possession or control by the Collateral Agent is required by this Agreement or the respective Security Document), the Liens created by each Security Document shall constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties thereunder in the Collateral, in each case subject to no Liens other than Permitted Collateral Liens related thereto.

Section 3.03 No Conflicts; No Default. The Transactions, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof do not violate any Legal Requirement or any material Contractual Obligation of any Company and do not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Legal Requirement or any such material Contractual Obligation (other than (i) the Liens created by the Security Documents, (ii) Liens created by the Second Lien Notes Security Documents and/or the Permitted Refinancing Second Lien Notes Security Documents and (iii) immaterial Liens that are otherwise Permitted Liens). No Default has occurred and is continuing.

(a) The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders the consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of each of GETCO and its Subsidiaries and the Target and its Subsidiaries (i) as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, in each case audited by and accompanied by the unqualified opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) for each subsequent interim quarterly period ended at least 45 days prior to the Closing Date (and the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year). Such financial statements, and all financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) and (b), have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the applicable period covered, respectively, thereby and present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, GETCO and its Subsidiaries and the Target and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, as of the dates and for the periods to which they relate (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes). Except as set forth in the financial statements referred to in the second preceding sentence, as of the Closing Date, there are no liabilities of any Company of any kind, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders the Borrower’s unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and statements of income and pro forma EBITDA as of and for the twelve month period ending on the last day of the most recently completed four-fiscal quarter period ended at least 45 days prior to the Closing Date, prepared in each case after giving effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on such date in the case of the balance sheet and as of the beginning of all periods presented in the case of the statements of income. Such pro forma financial statements (A) have been prepared in good faith by the Borrower, based upon (i) the assumptions stated therein (which assumptions are believed by the Borrower to be reasonable), (ii) accounting principles consistent with the historical audited financial statements referred to in Section 3.04(a) and (iii) the best information available to the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, (B) accurately reflect in all material respects all adjustments required to be made to give effect to the Transactions, (C) have been prepared in all material respects in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act, and (D) present fairly in all material respects the pro forma consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Borrower as of such date and for such periods, assuming that the Transactions had occurred at such dates (together with a footnote presentation reflecting the pro forma financial conditions and results of operations of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the pro forma financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower).

(c) The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders the forecasts of financial performance of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal years 2013 through and including 2018 (the “Projections”). The Projections have been prepared in good faith by the Borrower and based upon (i) the assumptions stated therein (which assumptions are believed by the Borrower to be reasonable), (ii) accounting principles consistent with the historical audited financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 3.04(a) consistently applied throughout the fiscal years covered thereby, and (iii) the best information available to the Borrower as of the date of the preparation thereof and at the time of the delivery thereof to the Administrative Agent, it being understood that such Projections are subject to uncertainties and contingencies, some of which are beyond the Borrower’s control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projection will be realized, that actual results may differ and that such differences may be material.

The properties of the Companies, taken as a whole, (i) are in good operating order, condition and repair in all material respects for properties of a similar nature and quality (ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted), and (ii) constitute all the property which is required for the business and operations of the Companies as presently conducted. As of the Closing Date, no Loan Party owns in fee any Real Property.

Section 3.06 Intellectual Property. Each Company owns, or is licensed or otherwise has the right to use, all Intellectual Property used in the conduct of its business as currently conducted, except as the failure to own, license or otherwise have the right to use such Intellectual Property would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been asserted in writing and is pending by any person challenging the use of any Intellectual Property owned by any Company or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property owned by any Company, nor does any Loan Party know of any valid basis for any such claim, and the use of Intellectual Property by each Company does not infringe on the rights of any person in any respect, except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.07 Equity Interests and Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, (i) Schedule 3.07 sets forth the name and jurisdiction of organization of each Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower and, as to each such Restricted Subsidiary, the direct owner or owners thereof and the percentage of each class of Equity Interests so owned by such direct owner or owners and (ii) except as set forth on Schedule 3.07, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments of any nature relating to any Equity Interests of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower.

Each Loan Party is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Equity Interests pledged by (or purporting to be pledged by) it under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, free of any and all Liens, rights or claims of other persons, except the security interest created by the Security Documents, the Second Lien Notes Security Documents and/or the Permitted Refinancing Second Lien Notes Security Documents, as applicable, and any Permitted Liens that arise by operation of applicable Legal Requirements and are not voluntarily granted.

Section 3.08 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.08, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority (including FINRA) is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against any Company or any Unrestricted Subsidiary or against any of their respective properties or revenues (x) with respect to any of the Transaction Documents or any of the Transactions or (y) have resulted in, or as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.09 Agreements. No Company is a party to any agreement, instrument or other document or subject to any corporate or other constitutional restriction, or any restriction under its Organizational Documents, that has resulted, or would reasonably be expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect.

85

Section 3.11 Investment Company Act, etc. Except for GETCO Investments and GETCO Strategic Investments, no Company is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 3.12 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of (a) the Term Loans (i) to finance the Transactions and pay any related fees and expenses and (ii) to the extent not needed for the purposes described in preceding clause (i), for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and (b) the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including to effect the Permitted Acquisitions).

Section 3.15 Labor Matters. There are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Company pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened that have resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of any Company have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any other applicable Legal Requirement dealing with such matters in any manner that has resulted in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 9.01 Appointment. (a) Each Lender and the Issuing Bank (if any) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as an agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby accept such appointment on the Closing Date. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, through its agents or employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and any rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Secured Parties and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Each Lender irrevocably appoints each other Lender as its agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting Liens (whether pursuant to Section 8-301(a)(2) of the UCC or otherwise), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in assets in which, in accordance with the UCC or any other applicable Legal Requirement a security interest can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Collateral Agent) obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly following the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

Section 9.02 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Company or Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank.

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02 or in the Intercreditor Agreement); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Legal Requirements including, for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Insolvency Laws or that may effect a foreclosure, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender under any Debtor Relief Laws, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Company or any of

128

its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as any Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02 or in the Intercreditor Agreement) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof describing such Default is given to such Agent by the Borrower, a Lender, or the Issuing Bank, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents and the notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider.

Section 9.04 Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent, or otherwise authenticated by a proper person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it to be made by a proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless each Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other advisors selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or advisors.

Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX and the indemnification provisions of Section 9.09 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Persons of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply, without limiting the foregoing, to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. The Agents shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

129

Section 9.06 Successor Agent. Each Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 10 days’ prior notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank (if any) and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders that is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 10 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank (if any) and in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor Agent, which successor shall be a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any state thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; provided that if such retiring Agent is unable to find a commercial banking institution that is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth above, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent.

Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article IX, Section 10.03 and Sections 10.08 to 10.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Persons in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank (if any) acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, conducted its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has reviewed the Confidential Information Memorandum and each other document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof (including any such terms and conditions set forth, or otherwise maintained, on the Platform with respect thereto). Each Lender and the Issuing Bank (if any) also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.08 Name Agents. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Arrangers, the Book Managers, the Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent hold such titles in name only, and that such titles confer no additional rights or obligations relative to those conferred on any Lender or the Issuing Bank (if any) hereunder.

Section 9.09 Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Guarantors and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or the Guarantors to do so), ratably according to their respective outstanding Loans and Commitments in effect on the date on which

130

indemnification is sought under this Section 9.09 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which all Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such outstanding Loans and Commitments as in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, fines, penalties, actions, claims, suits, judgments, litigations, investigations, inquiries or proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, the Transactions or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent or Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY AGENT OR RELATED PERSON); provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, fines, penalties, actions, claims, suits, judgments, litigations, investigations, inquiries or proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have directly resulted solely and directly from such Agent’s or Related Person’s, as the case may be, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.09 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 9.10 Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claims. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligations 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 (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file a verified statement pursuant to Rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;

(b) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Secured 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, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(c) 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 the Loan Documents. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents, their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under the Loan Documents out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

131

Section 9.11 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender also acknowledges that the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents and the existence of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent thereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and any Security Document, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender.

Section 9.12 Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures or cause any of the foregoing (through Affiliates or otherwise), with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.13 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out of pocket expenses) incurred.

Section 9.14 Lender’s Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgements. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank (if any) represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank (if any) or to provide any Lender or the Issuing Bank (if any) with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or the issuance of any Letters of Credit or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank (if any) acknowledges that no Agent or Related Person of any Agent has made any representation or warranty to it. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by an Agent to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank (if any), no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility (either express or implied) to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning any Loan Party, including the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, that may come in to the possession of an Agent or any of its Related Persons. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank (if any), by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment and Acceptance and funding its Loan or issuing a Letter of Credit, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, on the Closing Date.

132

Section 9.15 Security Documents and Guarantee.

(a) Agents under Security Documents and Guarantee. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Guarantees, the Collateral and the Loan Documents; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Secured Obligations with respect to any Permitted Hedging Agreement. Subject to Section 10.02, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral owned by any Guarantor that becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.02) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guarantee to the extent provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, to the extent such Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, or with respect to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.02) have otherwise consented.

(b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

(c) Release of Collateral and Guarantees, Termination of Loan Documents.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any Affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Hedging Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in any Collateral subject to any disposition permitted by the Loan Documents, to release any guarantee obligations under any

133

Loan Document of any person subject to such disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents, to release any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any Guarantor that becomes an Excluded Subsidiary and to release its security interest in any Collateral owned by any Guarantor that becomes an Excluded Subsidiary.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, when all Secured Obligations (other than Secured Obligations in respect of any Hedging Agreement) have been paid in full and all Commitments and Letters of Credit have terminated or expired (or, in the case of Letters of Credit, have been Cash Collateralized), upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Hedging Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Secured Obligations in respect of Hedging Agreements. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the Administrative Agent shall require.

(c) To the extent consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time, the Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address(es) set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents.

135

(d) Each Loan Party further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the other Agents, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank (if any) by posting the Communications on a Platform. The Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available”. The Agents do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and Approved Electronic Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall any Agent have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender, the Issuing Bank (if any) or any other person for damages of any kind, whether or not based on strict liability and including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or related to any Loan Party’s or any Agent’s transmissions of Communications through the internet (including the Platform). Notices or communications posted to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (b) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. Each Loan Party understands that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution.

(e) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

(f) Each Loan Party, each Lender and each Agent agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary document retention procedures and policies.

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to information that is not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain Non-Public Information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws. In the event that any Public Lender has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed through the Platform or otherwise, such Public Lender acknowledges that (i) other Lenders may have availed themselves of such information and (ii) neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent has any responsibility for such Public Lender’s decision to limit the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

136

Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent, the Issuing Bank (if any) or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Agent, the Issuing Bank (if any) and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 10.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (if any) may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle the Borrower or any other Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Subject to Section 2.16(c) and Sections 10.02(c), (d), (e), (f) and (g), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (in the case of any Security Document) and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the written consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant or Default (or any definition used, respectively, therein) shall constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender for purposes of this clause (i));

(ii) reduce the principal amount or premium, if any, of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than waiver of any increase in the rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or reduce any Fees payable hereunder, or change the form or currency of payment of any Obligation, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (ii));

(iii) postpone or extend the maturity of any Loan, or any scheduled date of payment of or the installment otherwise due on the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.09, or the required date of payment of any Reimbursement Obligation, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (other than a waiver of any increase in the rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

137

(iv) change Section 2.14(b) or (c) or Section 9.02 in a manner that would alter the order of or the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(v) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document (including this Section 10.02) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be);

(vi) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their respective Guarantees (except as expressly provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), or limit their liability in respect of such Guarantees, without the written consent of each Lender;

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

(ix) change the order of application of prepayments among Term Loans and Revolving Commitments under Section 2.10(g) or change the application of prepayments of Term Loans set forth in Section 2.10(g) in each case without the consent of the Required Lenders and Term Loan Lenders holding more than 50% of the principal amount of the outstanding Term Loans, or

(x) change Section 10.04(b) in a manner which further restricts assignments thereunder without the written consent of each Lender;

provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank (if any) or the Swingline Lender (if any) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank (if any) or the Swingline Lender (if any), as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, the Issuing Bank (if any) and the Swingline Lender (if any)) if (x) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment, (y) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement, and (z) Section 2.16(b) is complied with.

138

(c) Without the consent of any other person, the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by applicable Legal Requirements to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or assets so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Legal Requirements.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (x) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(e) Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have agreed in their sole and absolute discretion that there is an ambiguity, inconsistency, manifest error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial 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 such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (it being understood that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to agree to any such amendment).

(f) Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated) as, and to the extent, provided in Section 2.19 and Section 2.20.

(g) Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended or amended and restated with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans (the “Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement Term Loan tranche denominated in Dollars (the “Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, fees, expenses and premiums with respect to, such Refinanced Term Loans, (ii) the Effective Yield with respect to such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Effective Yield with respect to such Refinanced Term Loans, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans, at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable original Term Loans) and (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the Term Loan Maturity Date.

139

140

(c) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, that, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and any affected Lender, which consent(s) will not be unreasonably withheld, the Loan Parties will not enter into any settlement of a Claim in respect of the subject matter of clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 10.03(b) unless such settlement includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such Claim of all Indemnitees.

141

(d) The provisions of this Section 10.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and any other Secured Obligations, the release of any Guarantor or of all or any portion of the Collateral, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

(e) To the extent that the Loan Parties fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under Sections 10.03(a) or (b) in accordance with Section 10.03(g), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any party hereto or any third party); provided that the unreimbursed Claim was incurred by or asserted against any of the Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes of this Section 10.03(e), a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposure, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(g) All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be payable not later than 10 Business Days after demand therefor.

Section 10.04 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 (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank (if any) that issues any Letter of Credit), except that the Loan Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank (if any), the Swingline Lender (if any) and each Lender, which consent may be withheld in their respective sole discretion (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank (if any) that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants to the extent expressly provided in Section 10.04(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

142

(b) Any Lender shall have the right at any time to assign to one or more assignees (other than any Company (except as provided in Section 10.04(j)) or any Affiliate thereof or a natural person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:

(i) except in the case of (A) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (B) any assignment made in connection with the primary syndication of the Commitments and Loans by the Arrangers or (C) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Term Loan Commitment or Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 and the amount of the Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2,500,000;

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that this clause (ii) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that such fee shall not be payable in the case of an assignment by any Lender to an Approved Fund of such Lender;

(iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;

(v) in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment or any Revolving Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure, each of the Issuing Bank (if any) and the Swingline Lender (if any) must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned);

(vi) the Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); and

(vii) in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment, a Revolving Loan or any Revolving Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure (except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund), the Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 10.04(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement (provided that any liability of the Borrower to such assignee under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable thereunder by the Borrower in the absence of such assignment, except to the extent any such amounts are attributable to a Change in Law occurring after the date of such assignment), and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent

143

of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03).

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of and interest on the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank (if any), the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender (if any) and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 10.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall reasonably promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 10.04(d). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with the requirements of this Section 10.04 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 10.04(e).

(e) Any Lender shall have the right at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank (if any) or the Swingline Lender (if any) or any other person to sell participations to any person (other than any Company or any Affiliate thereof or a natural person) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) is described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the proviso to Section 10.02(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.04(f), each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.04(b). To the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees in writing to be subject to Section 2.14(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender shall, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants, and the amount and terms of its participations; provided that no Lender shall be required to disclose or share the information contained in such register with the

144

Borrower or any other person, except as required by applicable Legal Requirements (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender (and the Borrower, to the extent that the Participant requests payment from the Borrower) shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person (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) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103 1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or the greater payment results from a Change in Law after the date the participation was sold to the Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.15(f) as though it were a Lender.

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 10.04(g) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans or similar extensions of credit, such Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other person, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof; provided further that nothing herein shall make the SPC a “Lender” for the purposes of this Agreement, obligate the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to deal with such SPC directly, obligate the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any manner to any greater extent than they were obligated to the Granting Lender, or increase costs or expenses of the Borrower. The Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deal solely with, and obtain good discharge from, the Granting Lender and shall not be required to investigate or otherwise seek the consent or approval of any SPC, including for the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document. The making of a Loan by an SPC

145

hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04(h), any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

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

(j) Certain Permitted Term Loan Repurchases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04 or any other provision of this Agreement, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, the Borrower may repurchase outstanding Term Loans on the following basis:

(i) the Borrower may conduct one or more modified Dutch auctions (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans (such Term Loans, the “Offer Term Loans”) of Lenders, provided that, (A) the Borrower delivers a notice of the Term Loans that will be subject to such Auction to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) no later than Noon (New York City time) at least five Business Days in advance of a proposed consummation date of such Auction indicating (1) the date on which the Auction will conclude, (2) the maximum principal amount of Term Loans the Borrower is willing to purchase in the Auction and (3) the range of discounts to par at which the Borrower would be willing to repurchase the Offer Term Loans; (B) the minimum dollar amount of the Auction shall be no less than an aggregate $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (C) the Borrower shall hold the Auction open for a minimum period of two Business Days; (D) a Lender who elects to participate in the Auction may choose to tender all or part of such Lender’s Offer Term Loans; (E) the Auction shall be made to the Lenders holding the Offer Term Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with their pro rata shares; and (F) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may establish which are consistent with this Section 10.04(j) and are reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and Administrative Agent, that a Lender must follow in order to have its Offer Term Loans repurchased;

146

(ii) with respect to all repurchases made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(j), (A) the Borrower shall pay to the applicable assigning Lender all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the repurchased Term Loans to the date of repurchase of such Term Loans, (B) the repurchase of such Term Loans by the Borrower shall not be taken into account in the calculation of Excess Cash Flow or the calculation under Section 2.10(f), (C) the Borrower shall represent that, as of the launch date of the related Auction and the effective date of any Assignment and Acceptance, it is not in possession of any material non-public information regarding the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, or their assets or securities, that (x) has not been disclosed generally to the Lenders which are not Public Lenders prior to such date and (y) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to assign Term Loans to such Person, and (D) such repurchases shall not be deemed to be voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(a) except that the amount of the Term Loans so repurchased shall be applied to reduce scheduled repayments required under Section 2.09(a) on a pro rata basis among the payments remaining to be made thereunder on each Term Loan Repayment Date; and

(iii) following repurchase by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(j), the Term Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by the Borrower), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (C) the determination of the Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In connection with any Term Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 10.04(j), the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation. Any payment made by the Borrower in connection with a repurchase permitted by this Section 10.04(j) shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 2.14.

Section 10.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the reports, certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agents, the Issuing Bank (if any) or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Article VIII and Sections 2.12 to 2.15, 9.06, 10.03 and 10.08 to 10.10 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the payment of the Reimbursement Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Arrangers, 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. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received

147

counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.08 Right of Setoff; Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank (if any) and each of their respective Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Bank (if any) or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents held by such Lender or the Issuing Bank (if any), irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the Issuing Bank (if any) different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided, however, that in no event shall the failure to give such notice affect the validity or enforceability of any such setoff and application. None of any Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (if any) shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank (if any) or Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank (if any)), or any Agent, the Issuing Bank (if any) or any Lender enforces any security interests or exercises any right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Laws or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would apply the laws of another jurisdiction.

148

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Legal Requirements. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise, however, shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 10.09(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, in the manner provided for notices (other than facsimile or e-mail) in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.10.

Section 10.11 No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. This Agreement may not be used to interpret any other loan or debt agreement or instrument of any Company or any other person. Any such loan or debt agreement or instrument may not be used to interpret this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 10.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ and Approved Funds’ directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives, including accountants, legal counsel and other

149

advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential pursuant to the terms hereof), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or any quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and the SEC), (c) to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under the Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, but only to the extent required in connection with such exercise or enforcement, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.12, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (iii) any actual or prospective investor in an SPC or (iv) any rating agency for the purpose of obtaining a credit rating applicable to any Loan or Loan Party, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) is publicly available at the time of disclosure or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.12 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that with respect to clauses (b) and (c) above, if the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender receives a subpoena, interrogatory or other request (verbal or otherwise) for any Information (other than with regard to filings made with the SEC), or believes that it is legally required to disclose any of the Information to a third party, it shall, in advance of such disclosure, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, promptly provide to the Borrower notice of any such request or requirement so that the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party (or Subsidiary thereof) may seek a protective order or other remedy; provided further that it shall (1) exercise commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such Information, (2) to the extent legally permissible, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Borrower, in advance of such disclosure, with copies of any Information it intends to disclose (and, if applicable, the text of the disclosure language itself), and (3) reasonably cooperate with the Borrower and the applicable Loan Party (or Subsidiary thereof) to the extent either of them may seek to limit such disclosure. In addition, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may disclose the existence of the Loan Documents and information about the Loan Documents to market data collectors, similar service providers to the financing community, and service providers to the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders. For the purposes of this Section 10.12, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its business that is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.12 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.

Section 10.13 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.13 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

150

Section 10.14 Assignment and Acceptance. Each Lender to become a party to this Agreement (other than the Administrative Agent and any other Lender that is a signatory hereto) shall do so by delivering to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance duly executed by such Lender, the Borrower (if the Borrower consent to such assignment is required hereunder) and the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.15 Obligations Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

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

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

(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(d) any exchange, release or non-perfection or loss of priority of any Liens on any or all of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

(e) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof or any Loan Document; or

(f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations) available to, or a discharge of, the Loan Parties.

Section 10.16 Waiver of Defenses; Absence of Fiduciary Duties. (a) Each of the Loan Parties hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses available to it as a Guarantor arising out of the joint and several nature of its respective duties and obligations hereunder (including any defense contained in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement).

(b) Each of the Loan Parties agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents and any communications in connection therewith, the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and each Lender, SPC and Agent, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of any Lender, SPC or any Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

Section 10.17 Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “Judgment Currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures any Lender could purchase the Judgment Currency with such other currency

151

at such Lender’s New York office on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the Judgment Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Judgment Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the Judgment Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the Judgment Currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Lender against such loss, and if the amount of the Judgment Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Lender in the Judgment Currency, such Lender agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.

Section 10.18 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Borrower (as defined below) and each of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Companies” and each, a “Company”) that is a party to this Intercompany Subordinated Demand Promissory Note (this “Promissory Note”) as a Payor (as defined below) promises to pay to the order of such other Company that makes loans to such Company (each Company which borrows money pursuant to this Promissory Note is referred to herein as a “Payor” and each Company which makes loans and advances pursuant to this Promissory Note is referred to herein as a “Payee”), on demand, in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds and at the appropriate office of the Payee, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans and advances heretofore and hereafter made by such Payee to such Payor and any other indebtedness now or hereafter owing by such Payor to such Payee as shown either on Schedule A attached hereto (and any continuation thereof) or in the books and records of such Payee. The failure to show any such indebtedness or any error in showing such Indebtedness shall not affect the obligations of any Payor hereunder. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement (hereinafter defined) and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in that certain credit agreement, dated as of July 1, 2013 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among KCG Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party thereto, Jefferies Finance LLC, as documentation agent for the Lenders, as administrative agent for the Lenders, and as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (in such capacity and including its successors and assigns, the “Collateral Agent”), Jefferies Finance LLC and Xxxxxxx Sachs Bank USA, as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and Jefferies Finance LLC, as syndication agent.

The unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time by the relevant Payor and Payee. Each Payor and any endorser of this Promissory Note hereby waive presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights.

This Promissory Note has been pledged by each Payee that is a Loan Party to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for such Payee’s Secured Obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Payee is a party. Each Payor acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may exercise all the rights of the Payees that are Loan Parties under this Promissory Note in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents and will not be subject to any abatement, reduction, recoupment, defense, setoff or counterclaim available to such Payor.

Each Payee agrees that any and all claims of such Payee against any Payor that is a Loan Party or any endorser of the obligations of any Payor that is a Loan Party under this Promissory Note, or against any of their respective properties, shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Secured Obligations until all of the Secured Obligations have been performed and paid in full in immediately

available funds, no Letters of Credit are outstanding and the Commitments have been terminated; provided that each Payor may make payments to the applicable Payee so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided further, that once such Default or Event of Default is cured or waived, (A) such payments or distributions may be resumed and (B) any amount that would have been paid but for the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default may be paid. Notwithstanding any right of any Payee to ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive any payment from any Payor, all rights, Liens and security interests of such Payee, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any Payor that is a Loan Party (whether constituting part of the security or collateral given to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to secure payment of all or any part of the Obligations or otherwise) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in such assets. Except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Payees shall have no right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon, or exercise any other remedy in respect of, any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Secured Obligations shall have been performed and paid in full in immediately available funds, no Letters of Credit are outstanding (or, if some are outstanding, all such Letters of Credit have been Cash Collateralized in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) and the Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been terminated.

This Promissory Note shall be binding upon each Payor and its successors and assigns, and the terms and provisions of this Promissory Note shall inure to the benefit of each Payee and their respective successors and assigns, including subsequent holders hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in any other Loan Document or in any other promissory note or other instrument, this Promissory Note (i) replaces and supersedes any and all promissory notes or other instruments that create or evidence any loans or advances made on or before the date hereof by any Payee to any other Company, and (ii) shall not be deemed replaced, superseded or in any way modified by any promissory note or other instrument entered into on or after the date hereof that purports to create or evidence any loan or advance by any Payee to any other Company.

THIS PROMISSORY NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS PROMISSORY NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

The terms and provisions of this Promissory Note are severable, and if any term or provision shall be determined to be superseded, illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable in whole or in part pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, such determination shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or enforceability of that term or provision in any other jurisdiction or any of the remaining terms and provisions of this Promissory Note in any jurisdiction.

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

D-2

This Promissory Note may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Promissory Note by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Promissory Note.

(d) The Assignor may elect to receive advices, confirmations, reports or statements electronically through the Internet to an email address specified by it for such purpose. By electing to use the Internet for this purpose, the Assignor acknowledges that such transmissions are not encrypted and therefore are unsecure.

GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST, ETC.

Section 3.01 Grant of Security Interest, etc.: The Assignor does hereby assign and transfer unto the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Second Lien Secured Parties, and does hereby pledge and grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Second Lien Secured Parties, in each case as security for the prompt payment and performance when due of all Obligations, a continuing security interest in any and all of the right, title and interest of the Assignor in, to and under the Cash Collateral Account and the Account Proceeds, or in which or to which the Assignor has any rights. The Assignor hereby irrevocably orders, directs and instructs the Account Custodian, and the Account Custodian hereby agrees, to comply, strictly and promptly, with any and all instructions, orders, directions and notifications communicated from time to time to the Account Custodian and originated by the Collateral Agent, directing the transfer or redemption of, or the exercise of any rights with respect to, any or all of the Collateral, or otherwise relating to any of the Collateral, without further consent by the Assignor or any other person (including the Assignor), and not to comply with any instructions, orders, directions or notifications originated by any person other than the Collateral Agent or a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 3.01 or elsewhere in this Article 3 shall limit (or be construed to limit) the provisions of Section 2.01(a) hereof establishing ownership of, and title in, the Cash Collateral Account and the Account Proceeds in favor of the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties and the Second Lien Secured Parties).

Section 3.02 Further Assurances: The Assignor agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time, at its sole cost and expense, promptly execute and deliver all further agreements, instruments and other documents and take all further action that the Collateral Agent may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary, wherever required by applicable Legal Requirements, in order to perfect, preserve and protect the first priority security interest purported to be created hereby, to carry into effect the purposes hereof or otherwise to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights, powers and remedies hereunder (including, without limitation, any filings of financing or continuation statements under the UCC and any action as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the

G-5

Collateral Agent so that “control” (as defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC on the date hereof) of the Cash Collateral Account and the Account Proceeds is maintained). If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may institute and maintain, in its own name or in the name of the Assignor, such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may be advised by counsel shall be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security interest in the Cash Collateral Account or the Account Proceeds or the perfection or priority thereof. Neither the Account Custodian nor the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the preparation or filing of any financing statement or the validity or sufficiency of any Collateral hereunder.

Section 3.03 Appointment as Attorney-In-Fact: The Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Assignor and in the name of the Assignor or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to take any other action which the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement or to facilitate the assignment or other transfer by the Collateral Agent of any or all of its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to the Assignor and representing any interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral and to give full discharge for the same, and (ii) to execute and deliver any and all instruments and other documents that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in connection with the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any or all of its rights hereunder. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest. The Assignor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

The Assignor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10

G-6

days’ written notice to the Assignor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.

(ii) The Assignor acknowledges and agrees that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting written instructions to the Account Custodian and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting written instructions than the method(s) selected by the Assignor.

(iii) If the Assignor elects to transmit written instructions through an on-line communication system offered by the Account Custodian, the Assignor’s use thereof shall be subject to the Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Appendix I.

or the preservation of any rights under any thereof, or in any way relating to or arising out of the ownership, ordering, purchase, delivery, control, acceptance, possession, condition, sale, return or other disposition, or use of the Cash Collateral Account, the Account Proceeds or any Collateral, the violation of the laws of any country, state or other governmental body or unit, any tort (including, without limitation, claims arising or imposed under the doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account of injury to or the death of any person (including any Indemnitee), or property damage), or any actual or prospective action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Assignor or otherwise, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that no Indemnitee shall be indemnified pursuant to this Section 8.01(a) for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent determined to have directly resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). The Assignor agrees that upon written notice by any Indemnitee of the assertion of such a liability, obligation, damage, injury, penalty, claim, demand, action, suit or judgment, the Assignor shall have the option to assume full responsibility for the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. Each Indemnitee agrees to use its best efforts to promptly notify the Assignor of any such assertion of which such Indemnitee has knowledge; provided, however, that the failure by an Indemnitee to so notify the Assignor shall not relieve the Assignor of its obligations hereunder. In addition, the Indemnitee may have separate counsel and the Assignor shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses of such counsel.

(b) The Assignor shall pay to the Account Custodian such compensation for its acceptance of this appointment and rendering by it of services as shall be agreed in writing between them. Without limiting the application of Section 8.01(a) hereof, the Assignor agrees to pay or reimburse the Account Custodian and the Collateral Agent for any and all fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature incurred in connection with the establishment, maintenance and operation of the Cash Collateral Account and the creation, preservation or protection of the Account Proceeds and the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Account Proceeds, including, without limitation, all fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of instruments and documents in public offices, payment or discharge of any taxes or Liens upon or in respect of the Cash Collateral Account, the Account Proceeds or any Collateral and all other fees, costs and expenses in connection with protecting or maintaining the Cash Collateral Account, the Account Proceeds and the Collateral Agent’s interest therein and protecting, maintaining or preserving the Account Proceeds and the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Cash Collateral Account, the Account Proceeds and the Collateral.

(c) If and to the extent that the obligations of the Assignor under this Section 8.01 are unenforceable for any reason, the Assignor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

Section 8.02 Indemnity Obligations Secured by Collateral; Survival: Any amounts paid by any Indemnitee as to which such Indemnitee has the right to reimbursement shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral. The indemnity obligations of the Assignor contained in this Article 8 shall remain operative and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment of all of the other Obligations, the repayment of the Loans, the release of the Assignor or all or any portion of the Collateral, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents.

In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral, each Pledgor represents and warrants and covenants as follows, in each case at such Pledgor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Pledged Collateral:

(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. As of the date hereof, each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that (i) no amounts individually or in the aggregate in excess of $3,000,000 payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral are evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper other than the Intercompany Note and the Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper listed on Schedule 11 to the Perfection Certificate, (ii) the Intercompany Note has been properly assigned and delivered to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by an endorsement to the Intercompany Note in the form attached thereto duly executed in blank by each Pledgor, and (iii) each such Instrument and each such item of Tangible Chattel Paper individually or in the aggregate in excess of $3,000,000 has been properly endorsed, assigned and delivered to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank. If any amount, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $3,000,000 then payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral shall be evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper, the Pledgor acquiring such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time specify; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written request by such Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days return such Instrument (other than the Intercompany Note) or Tangible Chattel Paper to such Pledgor from time to time, to the extent necessary for collection in the ordinary course of such Pledgor’s business.

(b) Deposit Accounts. Each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that (i) as of the date hereof, each Pledgor does not maintain any Deposit Accounts in which the Pledgors maintain an average daily balance in excess of $1,000,000, individually or in the aggregate, other than the accounts listed on Schedule 15(a) to the Perfection Certificate, (ii) as of the date hereof, each applicable Pledgor and the relevant Bank(s) have executed and delivered a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to each of the Deposit Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) listed on Schedule 15(a) to the Perfection Certificate or the Pledgors have closed such accounts, and (iii) upon the execution and delivery of such Deposit Account Control Agreements, the Collateral Agent shall have a valid, enforceable, perfected first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Collateral Liens) in such Deposit Accounts by Control. No Pledgor shall hereafter establish and maintain any Deposit Account (other than any Excluded Account) in which the Pledgors customarily maintain an average daily balance in excess of $1,000,000, individually or in the aggregate, unless such Bank and such Pledgor shall have (or promptly thereafter, but in any event, within 30 days from such date or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Collateral Agent in writing in its sole discretion) duly executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement (or an amendment to an existing Deposit Account Control Agreement) with respect to such Deposit Account. The Collateral Agent shall not give any instructions directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account or withhold any withdrawal rights from such Pledgor with respect to funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any withdrawal, would occur. The provisions of this Section 3.4(b) shall not apply to any Deposit Accounts for which the Collateral Agent is the Bank. As of the date hereof and until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.4, no Pledgor has granted or shall grant Control of any Deposit Account (including any Excluded Account) to any person other than (i) the Collateral Agent or (ii) subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent.

(c) Securities Accounts and Commodity Accounts. (i) Each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that (1) as of the date hereof, it has neither opened nor maintains any Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts in which the amount and/or fair market value, individually or in the aggregate, of

13

the financial assets and/or commodity contracts, as the case may be, held from time to time in all such accounts does not exceed $1,000,000, other than those listed on Schedule 15(b) to the Perfection Certificate, (2) as of the date hereof, each applicable Pledgor and the relevant Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary have executed and delivered a Securities Account Control Agreement or Commodity Account Control Agreement, as applicable, for each Securities Account or Commodity Account (other than Excluded Accounts) listed on Schedule 15(b) to the Perfection Certificate, or the Pledgors have closed such accounts, (3) upon the execution and delivery of such Securities Account Control Agreements or Commodity Account Control Agreements, the Collateral Agent shall have a valid, enforceable, perfected first priority security interest (other than Permitted Collateral Liens) in such Securities Accounts and Commodity Accounts by Control, and (4) as of the date hereof, it does not hold, own or have any interest in any certificated securities or uncertificated securities other than those constituting Pledged Securities and those maintained in Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts listed on Schedule 15(b) to the Perfection Certificate or in respect of which the Collateral Agent has Control. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities constituting Investment Property and having a fair market value, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $1,000,000, such Pledgor shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days of acquiring such security) (a) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent or (b) deliver such securities into a Securities Account (other than an Excluded Account) with respect to which a Control Agreement is in effect in favor of the Collateral Agent. If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Pledgor constituting Investment Property and having a fair market value, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $1,000,000 are uncertificated and are issued to such Pledgor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Pledgor shall promptly (and in any event within five Business Days of acquiring such security) notify the Collateral Agent thereof and pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (a) cause the issuer to agree to comply with Entitlement Orders or other instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Pledgor or such nominee, (b) cause a Security Entitlement with respect to such uncertificated security to be held in a Securities Account (other than an Excluded Account) with respect to which the Collateral Agent has Control or (c) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of the securities. The Pledgors shall not hereafter establish and maintain any Securities Account or Commodity Account with any Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary unless (other than an Excluded Account) such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, as the case may be, and such Pledgor shall have (or, promptly thereafter, but in any event, within 30 days from such date or such longer period as may be agreed by the Collateral Agent in writing in its sole discretion) duly executed and delivered a Control Agreement with respect to such Securities Account or Commodity Account, as the case may be. The Collateral Agent shall not give any Entitlement Orders or instructions or directions to any issuer of uncertificated securities, Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by such Pledgor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or, after giving effect to any such investment and withdrawal rights, would occur. The provisions of this Section 3.4(c) shall not apply to any Financial Assets credited to a Securities Account for which the Collateral Agent is the Securities Intermediary. No Pledgor shall grant Control over any Investment Property (including any Excluded Account) to any person other than (i) the Collateral Agent or (ii) subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agent.

(iii) As between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgors, the Pledgors shall bear the investment risk with respect to the Investment Property and Pledged Securities, and the risk of loss of, damage to, or the destruction of the Investment Property and Pledged Securities, whether in the possession of, or maintained as a security entitlement or deposit by, or subject to the control of, the Collateral Agent, a Securities Intermediary, Commodity Intermediary, any Pledgor or any other person; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 3.4(c) shall release or relieve any Securities

14

Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary of its duties and obligations to the Pledgors or any other person under any Control Agreement or under applicable Legal Requirements. Each Pledgor shall promptly pay all Charges and fees of whatever kind or nature with respect to the Investment Property and Pledged Securities pledged by it under this Agreement. In the event any Pledgor shall fail to make such payment contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence, the Collateral Agent may do so for the account of such Pledgor and the Pledgors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent from all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent under this Section 3.4(c) in accordance with Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any amount, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $3,000,000 or payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral is evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any “transferable record” (as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction), the Pledgor acquiring such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days of the acquisition thereof or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Collateral Agent in writing in its sole discretion) notify the Collateral Agent thereof and shall take such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent control under UCC Section 9-105 of such Electronic Chattel Paper or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Collateral Agent agrees with such Pledgor that the Collateral Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Collateral Agent’s loss of control, for the Pledgor to make alterations to the Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record permitted under UCC Section 9-105 or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Pledgor with respect to such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record.

(e) Letter-of-Credit Rights. The parties acknowledge and agree that no Pledgor shall have any obligation hereunder to take any perfection steps (other than filing of appropriate financing statements under the UCC) with respect to any security interest in any letter-of-credit under which any Pledgor is the beneficiary.

(f) Commercial Tort Claims. As of the date hereof, each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that it holds no Commercial Tort Claims having a value reasonably believed by the Pledgors to be, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $3,000,000, other than those listed on Schedule 14 to the Perfection Certificate. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim having a value reasonably believed by the Pledgors to be, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $3,000,000, such Pledgor shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days of acquiring such Commercial Tort Claim or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Collateral Agent in writing in its sole discretion) notify the Collateral Agent in writing signed by such Pledgor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. Unless otherwise agreed, the grant of a security interest in any such Commercial Tort Claim shall not prejudice the right of such Pledgor to prosecute, enforce or exercise any of its rights in connection with such Commercial Tort Claim, which it will continue to enjoy until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

15

SECTION 3.5 Joinder of Additional Guarantors. The Pledgors shall cause each Subsidiary of the Borrower that, from time to time, after the date hereof shall be required to pledge any assets to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Credit Agreement, to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent (i) a Joinder Agreement within 30 days after the date on which it was acquired, created or otherwise becomes required to pledge its assets to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Credit Agreement and (ii) a Perfection Certificate within 30 days after the date on which it was acquired, created or otherwise becomes required to pledge its assets to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Credit Agreement and, in each case, upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary shall constitute a “Guarantor” and a “Pledgor” for all purposes hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor and Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement shall not require the consent of any Pledgor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor and Pledgor as a party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 3.6 Supplements; Further Assurances. Each Pledgor shall take such further actions, and execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such additional assignments, agreements, supplements, powers and instruments, as the Collateral Agent may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary, wherever required by applicable Legal Requirements, in order to perfect, preserve and protect the security interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and the rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, to carry into effect the purposes hereof or better to assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent the Pledged Collateral or permit the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights, powers and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor shall make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file or refile and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon reasonable request such lists, descriptions and designations of the Pledged Collateral, copies of warehouse receipts, receipts in the nature of warehouse receipts, bills of lading, documents of title, vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, supplements, additional security agreements, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may institute and maintain, in its own name or in the name of any Pledgor, such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may be advised by counsel shall be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security interest in the Pledged Collateral or the perfection or priority thereof. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors.

SECTION 3.7 Perfection in Non-U.S. Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or any other Loan Document, in the event that the cost to perfect in any jurisdiction outside of the United States outweighs the benefit to the Secured Parties (as determined by the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion in consultation with the Borrower), the Pledgors shall not be required to make any filings or take any actions in such jurisdiction for the purpose of perfecting a security interest in the Pledged Collateral, other than Control Agreements (or similar actions or filings similar to UCC filings) in respect of Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts or Commodities Accounts of the Pledgors located outside of the United States or any of its States or territories that are not Excluded Accounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

16

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants as follows (it being acknowledged and agreed that each reference in the representations and warranties of this Article IV to a Schedule to the Perfection Certificate shall be taken as a reference to such Schedule as amended or supplemented from time to time):

SECTION 4.1 Title. Except for the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and Permitted Collateral Liens, such Pledgor owns and, as to Pledged Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof, will own the rights in each item of Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. Such Pledgor has not filed, nor authorized any third party to file a financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Pledged Collateral on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or as are permitted by the Credit Agreement or financing statements or public notices relating to the termination statements listed on Schedule 8(a) to the Perfection Certificate. No person other than the Collateral Agent has, or will have, control or possession of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.

SECTION 4.2 Validity of Security Interest. The security interest in and Lien on the Pledged Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder constitutes (a) a legal and valid security interest in all the Pledged Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and (b) subject to the filings and other actions described in Schedule 1 hereto, a valid, enforceable, perfected first priority security interest (other than Permitted Collateral Liens) in all the Pledged Collateral, to the extent that a security interest may be perfected by the filings and other actions described in Schedule 1 hereto or as otherwise required by this Agreement. The security interest and Lien granted to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement in and on the Pledged Collateral will at all times constitute a valid, enforceable, perfected, continuing first priority security interest therein, subject only to Permitted Collateral Liens, to the extent that a security interest may be perfected by the filings and other actions described in Schedule 1 hereto or as otherwise required by this Agreement.

SECTION 4.3 Defense of Claims; Transferability of Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor shall, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the security interest therein granted to the Collateral Agent and the priority thereof required hereunder against all claims and demands of all persons, at its own cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein adverse in any material respect to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. Except for the terms of Contracts constituting Pledged Collateral that may limit their transferability (to the extent not rendered unenforceable under applicable Legal Requirements), there is no agreement that restricts in any material respect the transferability of any of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise impairs or conflicts in any material respect with any Pledgor’s obligations or the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, and the Pledgors shall not enter into any agreement or take any other action that would restrict in any material respect the transferability of any of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise impair or conflict in any material respect with any Pledgor’s obligations or the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, in each case except as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents.

SECTION 4.4 Other Financing Statements. No Pledgor has filed, nor authorized any third party to file (nor will there be) any valid or effective financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) covering or purporting to cover any interest of any kind in the Pledged Collateral other than financing statements and other statements and instruments

17

relating to Permitted Collateral Liens. So long as any of the Secured Obligations remain unpaid and unperformed (other than any contingent indemnification obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents for which no claim has been made), no Pledgor shall execute, authorize or permit to be filed in any public office any financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) relating to any Pledged Collateral, except financing statements and other statements and instruments filed or to be filed in respect of and covering the security interests granted by such Pledgor to the holder(s) of Permitted Collateral Liens.

SECTION 4.5 Chief Executive Office; Change of Name; Jurisdiction of Organization, etc.Such Pledgor shall, (i) unless it shall have given the Collateral Agent not less than 15 days’ prior written notice, or such shorter period of notice as may be acceptable to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, not change its name, identity, legal structure (whether by merger, consolidation, change in corporate form or otherwise), type of organization or jurisdiction of organization, place of business or, if more than one, chief executive office, or mailing address or organizational identification number if it has one and (ii) consistent with the terms of this Agreement, take all actions reasonably necessary or advisable to maintain the continuous validity, perfection and the same or better priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral granted or intended to be granted hereunder, which in the case of any merger or other change in organizational structure shall include delivering a written notice upon completion of such merger or other change in organizational structure confirming the grant of the security interest under this Agreement. If such Pledgor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, such Pledgor shall forthwith notify the Collateral Agent of such organizational identification number. The Collateral Agent may rely on opinions of counsel as to whether any or all UCC financing statements of the Pledgors need to be amended as a result of any of the changes described in this Section 4.5. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest with the priority required hereunder in such Pledgor’s property constituting Pledged Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire about such changes, the parties acknowledging and agreeing that it would not be feasible or practical for the Collateral Agent to search for information on such changes if such information is not provided by any Pledgor.

SECTION 4.6 Location of Inventory and Equipment. As of the date hereof, all Equipment and Inventory (other than Equipment and Inventory out for repair, in transit, at other locations in connection with repair or refurbishment thereof in the ordinary course of business, in the possession of employees of the Pledgors in the ordinary course of business or having a fair market value in the aggregate of less than $3,000,000) of such Pledgor is located at the chief executive office or such other location listed on Schedules 2(c) and (d) to the Perfection Certificate. Such Pledgor shall not move any Equipment or Inventory having a fair market value in the aggregate of $3,000,000 or more (other than Equipment and Inventory out for repair, in transit, at other locations in connection with repair or refurbishment thereof in the ordinary course of business or in the possession of employees of the Pledgors in the ordinary course of business) to any location other than one that is listed in Schedules 2(c) and (d) to the Perfection Certificate until (i) it shall have given the Collateral Agent not less than 10 days’ prior written notice, or such shorter period of notice as may be acceptable to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, of its intention so to do, clearly describing such new location and providing such other information in connection therewith as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (ii) with respect to such new location, such Pledgor shall have taken all action reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral intended to be granted hereby, including obtaining waivers of landlord’s or warehousemen’s and/or bailee’s liens with respect to such new location, if applicable, and if reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent. Such Pledgor agrees to provide the Collateral Agent with prompt notice following the movement of any Equipment or Inventory having a fair market value in the aggregate of $3,000,000 or more (other than Equipment and Inventory out for repair, in transit, at other locations in connection with repair or refurbishment thereof in the ordinary course of business or in the possession of employees of the Pledgors in the ordinary course of business) to any location other than one that is listed in Schedules 2(c) and (d) to the Perfection Certificate.

(iii) Sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Pledgor to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation;

26

(iv) Take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any Pledgor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any place or places so designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event such Pledgor shall at its own expense: (A) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places designated by the Collateral Agent and therewith delivered to the Collateral Agent, (B) store and keep any Pledged Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent and (C) while the Pledged Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition.

The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Collateral may have been sold, assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.

SECTION 8.2 Notice of Sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of Pledged Collateral shall be required by any Legal Requirement, 10 days prior notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any

private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters unless the Pledged Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which case no such prior notice shall be required). No notification need be given to any Pledgor if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.

SECTION 8.3 Waiver of Notice and Claims; Other Waivers; Marshalling.

(i) Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, notice of judicial hearing in connection with the Collateral Agent’s taking possession or the Collateral Agent’s disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Pledgor would otherwise have under any Legal Requirement, and each Pledgor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable Legal Requirements. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article VIII except to the extent resulting solely from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the applicable Pledgor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity or otherwise against such Pledgor and against any and all persons claiming or attempting to claim the Pledged Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under such Pledgor.

(ii) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each Pledgor hereby waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, Pledged Collateral received or delivered or any other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description.

(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including the Pledged Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each Pledgor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any Legal Requirement relating to the marshalling of collateral and hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such Legal Requirements.

SECTION 8.4 Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable Legal Requirements impose duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Pledged Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third-party consents for access to Pledged Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other Legal Requirements, to fail to obtain consents for Governmental Authorities or third parties for the collection or disposition of Pledged Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Pledged Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Pledged Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Pledged Collateral directly or through the use of

28

collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Pledged Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Pledged Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as any Pledgor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Pledged Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Pledged Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Pledged Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim or modify disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Pledged Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Pledged Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral. The Pledgors acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 8.4 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would fulfill the Collateral Agent’s duties under the UCC or other Legal Requirements of the State of New York or any other relevant jurisdiction in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Pledged Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.4. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.4 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Pledgor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Legal Requirements in the absence of this Section 8.4.

SECTION 8.5 Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral.

(i) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in Legal Requirements, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of a Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.

(ii) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities’ laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale or disposition of all or any part of the Securities Collateral and Investment Property, to limit purchasers to persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities Collateral or Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral or Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state or foreign securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

29

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Pledgor shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the request of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, cause any registration, qualification under or compliance with any federal, state or foreign securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Securities Collateral as soon as practicable and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors. Each Pledgor will cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and cause such qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Securities Collateral including registration under the Securities Act (or any similar statute then in effect), appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state or foreign securities laws and appropriate compliance with all other requirements of any Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor shall cause the Collateral Agent to be kept advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, shall furnish to the Collateral Agent such number of prospectuses, offering circulars or other documents incident thereto as the Collateral Agent from time to time may request, and shall indemnify and shall cause the issuer of the Securities Collateral to indemnify the Collateral against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(iv) If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral or Investment Property, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall, and shall cause each issuer of Securities Collateral and Investment Property to be sold hereunder to, from time to time furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to determine the number and nature or interest, of securities or other instruments included in the Securities Collateral or Investment Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

(v) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants, except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

SECTION 8.6 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(i) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy; nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guarantees. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by applicable Legal Requirements, in equity or otherwise.

(ii) In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case, the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent and each

30

other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 8.7 Certain Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property Collateral. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under this Article VIII at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Pledgor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent licensable, and subject to the other remedies set forth in this Section 8.7 exercisable solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, an irrevocable, non-exclusive worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Pledgor) to use the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Pledgor, wherever the same may be located. Such license shall include access to the media within the possession of such Pledgor in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and, to the extent permitted under the Contracts therefor, the computer programs used by such Pledgor for the compilation or printout thereof. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may, by written notice to the relevant Pledgor, take any or all of the following actions: (i) declare the entire right, title and interest of such Pledgor in and to the Intellectual Property Collateral, vested in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in which event such right, title and interest shall immediately vest upon delivery of such notice, in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to in Section 11.2 hereof to execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and record said absolute assignment with the applicable agency or registrar; (ii) take and use or sell the Intellectual Property Collateral along with any goodwill of such Pledgor’s business symbolized by any Trademarks that are included in such Intellectual Property Collateral; and (iii) direct such Pledgor to refrain, in which event such Pledgor shall refrain, from using the Intellectual Property Collateral in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly. Such Pledgor shall execute such further documents that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to further confirm this and to transfer ownership of the Intellectual Property Collateral and registrations and any pending applications in the United States Copyright Office, United States Patent and Trademark Office, equivalent office in a state of the United States or a foreign jurisdiction or applicable Domain Name registrar to the Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE IX

GUARANTEE

SECTION 9.1 Guarantee. (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees, as primary obligors and not as sureties, to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance in full by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations. Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, agrees that if the Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Secured Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay in cash, without demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Secured Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 9.2).

31

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Article IX or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder.

(d) The guarantee contained in this Article IX shall remain in full force and effect until such time as all the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other Secured Obligations then due or owing, and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Article IX then due or owing shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash (in each case, other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable), no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (except for Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank) and the Commitments shall be terminated (the “Termination Time”), notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Secured Obligations.

(e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other person or received or collected by any Agent or any other Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations), remain liable for the Secured Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Termination Time.

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

(g) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article IX constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

SECTION 9.2 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 9.3. The provisions of this Section 9.2

32

shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or each other Secured Party and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 9.3 No Subrogation; Subordination. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until the Termination Time. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Termination Time, such amount shall be held in trust by such Guarantor for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine. Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party to any Guarantor shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Secured Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany Note evidencing such Indebtedness.

SECTION 9.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Secured Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations made by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party and any of the Secured Obligations continued, and the Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, subordinated, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Permitted Hedging Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, waived, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or the Required Lenders, the applicable Lenders or the Secured Parties party to Permitted Hedging Agreements, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for any of the Secured Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Article IX or any property subject thereto.

SECTION 9.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Secured Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Article IX or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Article IX; each of the Secured Obligations, and any Secured Obligation contained therein, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article IX;

33

and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article IX. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Secured Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Article IX shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all defenses that it may have arising out of or in connection with any and all of the following: (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Permitted Hedging Agreement, any of the Secured Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other person against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) any change in the time, place, manner or place of payment, amendment, or waiver or increase in any of the Secured Obligations, (d) any exchange, non-perfection, taking, or release of Collateral, (e) any change in the structure or existence of the Borrower, (f) any application of Collateral to any of the Secured Obligations, (g) any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any Secured Obligation or the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto, including, without limitation: (i) the application of any such law, regulation, decree or order, including any prior approval, which would prevent the exchange of any currency (other than Dollars) for Dollars or the remittance of funds outside of such jurisdiction or the unavailability of Dollars in any legal exchange market in such jurisdiction in accordance with normal commercial practice, (ii) a declaration of banking moratorium or any suspension of payments by banks in such jurisdiction or the imposition by such jurisdiction or any Governmental Authority thereof of any moratorium on, the required rescheduling or restructuring of, or required approval of payments on, any indebtedness in such jurisdiction, (iii) any expropriation, confiscation, nationalization or requisition by such country or any Governmental Authority that directly or indirectly deprives the Borrower of any assets or their use, or of the ability to operate its business or a material part thereof, or (iv) any war (whether or not declared), insurrection, revolution, hostile act, civil strife or similar events occurring in such jurisdiction which has the same effect as the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above (in each of the cases contemplated in clauses (i) through (iv) above, to the extent occurring or existing on or at any time after the date of this Agreement), or (h) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Secured Parties which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Secured Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Article IX, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

34

SECTION 9.6 Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the guarantee of any Guarantor contained in this Article IX shall continue to be effective, or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

SECTION 9.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off, declaration or counterclaim in Dollars at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in the Credit Agreement or such other address as may be designated in writing by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.8 Qualified ECP Guarantors. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Article IX in respect of Hedging Obligations that constitute Secured Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 9.8 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 9.8, or otherwise under this Article IX, voidable under applicable Legal Requirements relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 9.8 shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Time. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 9.8 constitute, and this Section 9.8 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

ARTICLE X

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

SECTION 10.1 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by (a) the Administrative Agent in respect of realization upon any or all of the guarantees pursuant to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies and (b) the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 11.1 Concerning Agents.

(i) Each Agent has been appointed to its respective role pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The actions of the Agents hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Each Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including the release or substitution of the

35

Pledged Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. Each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Pledged Collateral hereunder or enforce the guarantee in Article IX hereof, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Agents for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Agents may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by them in good faith. Each Agent may resign and a successor Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent by a successor Agent, that successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was an Agent.

(ii) Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral. An Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which such Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests; provided that none of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, or any of the other Secured Parties or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall have responsibility for (x) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, (y) failing to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral or for any delay in doing so, or (z) failing to take any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

(iii) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

(iv) If any item of Pledged Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to an Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, the provisions hereof shall control.

SECTION 11.2 Agents May Perform; Agents Appointed Attorneys-in-Fact. If any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement (including such Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies hereunder, (ii) pay Charges, (iii) make repairs, or (iv) discharge Liens or pay or perform any obligations of such Pledgor under any Pledged Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on the part of any Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, any Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that no Agent shall in any event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, lien, imposition or other obligation which such Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest in

36

accordance with the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof. Any and all amounts so expended by any Agent shall be paid by the Pledgors in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement. Neither the provisions of this Section 11.2 nor any action taken by any Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement or any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default. Each Pledgor hereby appoints each Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time in such Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which such Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.2 to the contrary, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 11.2 unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 11.3 Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) be binding upon the Pledgors, their respective successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Agents hereunder, to the benefit of the Agents and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, permitted transferees and permitted assigns. No other persons (including any other creditor of any Pledgor) shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any obligations held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 11.4 Termination; Release. This Agreement shall terminate and the Pledged Collateral shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement when the Commitments have been terminated and the principal of and interest and premium (if any) on each Loan, all Fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under any Loan Document shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) and all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and all amounts drawn thereunder have been reimbursed in full.

SECTION 2 Lien Priorities.

2.1 Relative Priorities. Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations granted on the Collateral or of any Liens securing the First Lien Obligations granted on the Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, or any other applicable law or the Second Lien Documents or any defect or deficiencies in, or failure to perfect or lapse in perfection of, or avoidance as a fraudulent conveyance or otherwise of, the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations or any other circumstance whatsoever, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees that:

(a) any Lien on the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior and prior in all respects to any Lien on the Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligations;

(b) any Lien on the Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, any Second Lien Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations. All Liens on the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations shall be and remain senior and prior in all respects to any Lien on the Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing any First Lien Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Company, any other Grantor or any other Person; and

(c) any Lien on the Collateral securing any Excess First Lien Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the First Lien Collateral Agent, any First Lien Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to any Lien on the Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligations up to but not exceeding the Second Lien Cap Amount (but only with respect to such excess amounts). All Liens securing Excess First Lien Obligations will be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Collateral securing any Excess Second Lien Obligations and all Liens securing any Excess Second Lien Obligations will be junior and subordinate in all respects and prior to any Lien securing Excess First Lien Obligations.

The subordination of Liens securing Second Lien Obligations to Liens securing First Lien Obligations in this Agreement affects only the relative priority of those Liens, and does not subordinate the Second Lien Obligations in right of payment to the First Lien

14

Obligations. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the entitlement of any Second Lien Claimholder to receive and retain required payments of interest, principal, and other amounts in respect of a Second Lien Obligation unless the receipt (i) is expressly prohibited by, or results from the Second Lien Claimholder’s breach of, this Agreement or (ii) is the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off and recoupment) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them.

2.2 Prohibition on Contesting Liens; No Marshalling. Each of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Claimholder, and the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each First Lien Claimholder, agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) directly or indirectly contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the priority, validity, perfection, extent or enforceability of a Lien held, or purported to be held, by or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders in the First Lien Collateral or by or on behalf of any of the Second Lien Claimholders in the Second Lien Collateral, as the case may be, or the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder to enforce this Agreement, including the provisions of this Agreement relating to the priority of the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations as provided in Sections 2.1 and 3.1. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any Second Lien Claimholder will assert (and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and any Second Lien Claimholder hereby waives any right to assert) any marshaling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available to a junior secured creditor.

2.3 No New Liens. So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, the parties hereto agree that the Company shall not, and shall not permit any other Grantor to:

(a) grant or permit any additional Liens on any property to secure any Second Lien Obligation unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such property to secure the First Lien Obligations, the parties hereto agreeing that any such Lien shall be subject to Section 2.1; or

(b) grant or permit any additional Liens on any property to secure any First Lien Obligations unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such property to secure the Second Lien Obligations; provided that this provision will not be violated if the Second Lien Collateral Agent is given a reasonable opportunity to accept a Lien and declines in writing to accept a Lien on such property.

To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the First Lien Collateral Agent and/or the First Lien Claimholders, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.2.

15

2.4 Similar Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral be identical. In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 8.9, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

(a) upon request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective Persons obligated under the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Documents; and

(b) that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and guarantees for the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations, subject to Section 5.3(c) and the proviso to Section 2.3(b), shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to the first lien and the second lien nature of the Obligations thereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 2.3 and 2.4, (x) to the extent a second lien pledge of the Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary is prohibited or otherwise unenforceable under local law of any jurisdiction outside the United States but a first lien pledge thereof is not so prohibited or otherwise unenforceable, the First Lien Loan Documents may include a pledge of such Equity Interests and the Second Lien Documents may not include a pledge of such Equity Interests and, except to the extent held as a bailee or custodian or agent by the First Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Collateral Agent under Section 5.5, the Second Lien Collateral shall not include the Equity Interests of such Foreign Subsidiary and (y) it is understood by each of the parties that to the extent that the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent obtains a Lien on an asset (of a type that is not included in the types of assets included in the Collateral as of the date hereof or which would not constitute Collateral without a grant of a security interest or Lien separate from the First Lien Loan Documents or Second Lien Documents, as applicable, as in effect immediately prior to obtaining such Lien on such asset) which the other party to this Agreement elects in writing not to obtain after receiving prior written notice thereof, the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations will not be identical, and the provisions of the documents, agreements and instruments evidencing such Liens also will not be substantively similar, and any such difference in the scope or extent of perfection with respect to the Collateral resulting therefrom are hereby expressly permitted by this Agreement.

2.5 Pari Passu Payment Lien Obligations.

As a condition to either the Company or any other Grantor incurring any Pari Passu Indebtedness, (i) a Supplement to the Intercreditor Agreement, identifying the proposed Indebtedness, the authorized representative of the lenders or holders providing such Indebtedness (the “Pari Passu Agent”) and the documents in connection with such Indebtedness, shall be executed and delivered and (ii) the Pari Passu Agent shall enter into an Accession Agreement, pursuant to which such authorized representative shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Second Lien Security Documents.

16

(i) will not commence or maintain, or seek to commence or maintain, any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral; provided that the Second Lien Collateral Agent may commence an Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any or all such rights or remedies after the passage of a period of at least 180 days has elapsed since the later of: (i) the date on which the Second Lien Collateral Agent declared the existence of any “Event of Default” under any Second Lien Documents and demanded the repayment of all the principal amount of any Second Lien Obligations and (ii) the date on which the First Lien Collateral Agent received notice from the Second Lien Collateral Agent of such declarations of an “Event of Default” (the “Standstill Period”) (provided that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have given the First Lien Collateral Agent at least 15 days written notice prior to such Enforcement Action, which notice may be given during the pendency of the applicable Standstill Period); provided, further, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period, the First Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien Claimholders shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing an Enforcement Action or other exercise of their rights or remedies (or shall have sought or requested relief or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to enable the commencement and pursuit thereof) in each case with respect to all or any material portion of the Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Second Lien Collateral Agent);

(ii) will not contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder or any other exercise by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral under the First Lien Loan Documents or otherwise;

(iii) subject to their rights under clause (a)(i) above, will not object to the forbearance by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral, in each case so long as any proceeds received by the First Lien Collateral Agent in excess of those necessary to achieve a Discharge of First Lien Obligations are distributed in accordance with the UCC and other applicable law, subject to the relative priorities described herein;

(iv) will not take or cause to be taken any action, the purpose or effect of which is to make any Lien in respect of any Second Lien Obligation pari passu with or senior to, or give any Second Lien Claimholder any preference or priority relative to, the Liens with respect to the First Lien Obligations or the First Lien Claimholders; and

17

(v) will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against any First Lien Claimholder or First Lien Collateral Agent seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, injunction or otherwise, with respect to, and no First Lien Claimholder or First Lien Collateral Agent shall be liable to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by such First Lien Claimholder or First Lien Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral or pursuant to the First Lien Loan Documents.

(b) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, subject to Section 3.1(a)(i), the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have the exclusive right to commence and maintain an Enforcement Action or otherwise enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off, recoupment and the right to “credit bid” their debt, except that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have the “credit bid” rights set forth in Section 3.1(c)(vi)), subject to Section 5.1, to make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder; provided that any proceeds received by the First Lien Collateral Agent in excess of those necessary to achieve a Discharge of First Lien Obligations are distributed in accordance with the UCC and other applicable law, subject to the relative priorities described herein. In commencing or maintaining any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the First Lien Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion in compliance with any applicable law and without consultation with the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder and regardless of whether any such exercise is adverse to the interest of any Second Lien Claimholder. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and any Second Lien Claimholder may:

(i) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Second Lien Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor;

(ii) take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations, or the rights of any First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect its Lien on the Collateral;

18

(iii) file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Second Lien Claimholders, including any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(iv) vote on any plan of reorganization, arrangement, compromise or liquidation, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Second Lien Obligations and the Collateral; provided that no filing of any claim or vote, or pleading relating to such claim or vote, to accept or reject a disclosure statement, plan of reorganization, arrangement, compromise or liquidation, or any other document, agreement or proposal similar to the foregoing by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder may be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement;

(v) exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral after the termination of the Standstill Period to the extent permitted by Section 3.1(a)(i); and

(vi) bid for or purchase Collateral at any public, private or judicial foreclosure upon such Collateral initiated by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder, or any sale of Collateral during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding; provided that such bid may not include a “credit bid” in respect of any Second Lien Obligations unless the cash proceeds of such bid are otherwise sufficient to cause the Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will not take or receive any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off and recoupment) with respect to any Collateral in its capacity as a creditor, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, except in connection with any foreclosure expressly permitted by Section 3.1(a)(i) to the extent the Second Lien Collateral Agent and Second Lien Claimholders are permitted to retain the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 4.2 of this Agreement). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.1(a), 6.3(b) and this Section 3.1(c), the sole right of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Second Lien Security Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred.

(d) Subject to Sections 3.1(a) and (c) and Section 6.3(b):

(i) the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders will not take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies under the First Lien Loan Documents or is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;

19

(ii) the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the Second Lien Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations granted in any of the First Lien Collateral undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Second Lien Claimholders; and

(iii) the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Second Lien Security Documents or any other Second Lien Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First Lien Loan Documents.

(e) To the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Company or any other Grantor that has guaranteed or granted Liens to secure the Second Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Documents and applicable law (other than initiating or joining in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Grantor); provided that in the event that any Second Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Second Lien Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the First Lien Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

(f) Except as specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and (d), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal, premium, fees and other amounts owed in respect of the Second Lien Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off and recoupment) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders may have with respect to the First Lien Collateral.

3.2 Actions Upon Breach; Specific Performance. If any Second Lien Claimholder, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, in any way takes, attempts to or threatens to take any action with respect to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fails to take any action required by this Agreement, this Agreement shall create an irrebutable presumption

20

and admission by such Second Lien Claimholder that relief against such Second Lien Claimholder by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the First Lien Claimholders, it being understood and agreed by the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of each Second Lien Claimholder that (i) the First Lien Claimholders’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Second Lien Claimholder waives any defense that the Grantors and/or the First Lien Claimholders cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages. Each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent may demand specific performance of this Agreement. The First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders under the First Lien Loan Documents, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably waive any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense which might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders or the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders, as the case may be. No provision of this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver by the First Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders or the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders of any right to seek damages from any Person in connection with any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.

This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

Any Lien received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders in respect of any of the Second Lien Obligations in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

4.3 Certain Agreements with respect to Unenforceable Collateral.

In addition to the rights and obligations of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Claimholders and Second Lien Claimholders set forth herein, in the event that in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding a determination is made that Liens of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders encumbering any Collateral are not enforceable for any reason, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders agree that, any distribution or recovery they may receive with respect to, or allocable to, the value of such Collateral or any proceeds thereof shall (for so long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred) be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders in the same form as received without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation of the Second Lien Collateral Agent that it has not otherwise sold, assigned, transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such distribution or recovery) but with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct until such time as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred. The First Lien Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any such Second Lien Claimholders. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

SECTION 5 Other Agreements.

5.1 Releases.

(a) If in connection with any Enforcement Action by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other exercise of the First Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the Collateral, in each case, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Second Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. If in connection with any Enforcement Action or other exercise of rights and remedies by the First Lien Collateral Agent, in each case, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the equity interests of any Person are foreclosed upon or otherwise disposed of and the First Lien Collateral Agent releases its Lien on the property of such Person then the Liens of Second Lien Collateral Agent with respect to the property of such Person will be automatically released to the same extent as the Liens of the First Lien Collateral Agent. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Second Lien Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request to effectively confirm the foregoing releases.

(b) If in connection with any Disposition permitted under the terms of the First Lien Loan Documents and not expressly prohibited under the terms of the Second Lien Documents (other than in connection with an Enforcement Action or other exercise of the First

23

Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the Collateral which shall be governed by Section 5.1(a)), the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, other than (i) in connection with, or following, the Discharge of First Lien Obligations and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any “Event of Default” under the Second Lien Notes Indenture, then the Liens, if any, of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Second Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Second Lien Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request to effectively confirm such release.

(c) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or such holder or in the First Lien Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in the First Lien Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

(d) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, to the extent that the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders (i) have released any Lien on Collateral and any such Liens are later reinstated or (ii) obtain any new liens, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and for the Second Lien Claimholders, shall be granted a Lien on any such Collateral, subject to the lien subordination provisions of this Agreement.

5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien Loan Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien Loan Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) if in respect to the Collateral shall be paid to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Loan Documents (including for purposes of cash collateralization of letters of credit) and thereafter, to the extent no First Lien Obligations are outstanding, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Second Lien Documents, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Second Lien Claimholders to the extent required under the Second Lien Security Documents and then, to the extent no Second Lien Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if

24

the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such proceeds over to the First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

5.3 Amendments to First Lien Loan Documents and Second Lien Documents.

(a) The First Lien Loan Documents may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the First Lien Credit Agreement may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders, all without affecting the lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided that the holders of such Refinancing debt bind themselves in a writing addressed to the Second Lien Collateral Agent to the terms of this Agreement and any such amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing shall not, without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent (as directed, in the case of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, by the Instructing Group):

(i) increase the sum of (A) the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Indebtedness for borrowed money outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement (including, if any, any undrawn portion of any commitment under the First Lien Credit Agreement) and (B) the aggregate face amount of any letters of credit issued under the First Lien Credit Agreement and not reimbursed, in excess of the First Lien Cap Amount; or

(ii) add to the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations other than as specifically provided by this Agreement;

provided, however, that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have all the rights and protections of the applicable Second Lien Documents when consenting to an amendment under this Section 5.3.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, no Second Lien Document may be Refinanced, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such Refinancing, amendment, restatement, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Second Lien Document, would:

(i) increase the then outstanding principal amount of the Second Lien Notes, in excess of the Second Lien Cap Amount;

(ii) increase the interest rate by more than 300 basis points (excluding increases resulting from the accrual of interest at the default rate);

(iii) accelerate any dates upon which a scheduled payment of principal or interest is due, or otherwise decreases the weighted average life to maturity;

25

(iv) modify (or have the effect of a modification of) the mandatory prepayment provisions of the Second Lien Notes Indenture in a manner materially adverse to the lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreement;

(v) increase the obligations of the obligor thereunder or to confer any additional material rights of the Second Lien Noteholders (or a representative on their behalf) which would be materially adverse to the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholders; or

(vi) add to the Collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations other than as specifically provided by this Agreement.

(c) In the event the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Lien Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First Lien Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent in a manner not otherwise prohibited by this Section 5.3, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Second Lien Security Document without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders and without any action by the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Company or any other Grantor, provided that:

(i) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of:

(A) removing assets subject to the Lien of the Second Lien Security Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or required by Section 5.1 and provided that there is a corresponding release of the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations;

(B) imposing duties on the Second Lien Collateral Agent without its consent;

(C) permitting other Liens on the Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Second Lien Documents or Section 6; or

(D) being prejudicial to the interests of the Second Lien Claimholders to a greater extent than the First Lien Claimholders (other than by virtue of their relative priority and the rights and obligations hereunder); and

(ii) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the Second Lien Collateral Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent.

26

5.4 Legends. The Company agrees that each Second Lien Security Document and each First Lien Security Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved, in the case of the Second Lien Security Documents, by the First Lien Collateral Agent, and in the case of the First Lien Security Documents, by the Second Lien Collateral Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the [Second Lien Collateral Agent/First Lien Collateral Agent] pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by such Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among the Company, Jefferies Finance LLC, as First Lien Collateral Agent and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Second Lien Collateral Agent and certain other Persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

In addition, the Company agrees that each mortgage covering any Collateral shall contain such other language as the First Lien Collateral Agent, in the case of the Second Lien Security Documents, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, in the case of the First Lien Security Documents, may reasonably request to reflect the subordination and other provisions of this Agreement.

5.5 Gratuitous Bailee/Agent for Perfection.

(a) The First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC (such Collateral being the “Pledged Collateral”) as collateral agent for the First Lien Claimholders and as gratuitous bailee for the Second Lien Collateral Agent (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5. Solely with respect to any deposit accounts under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to also hold control over such deposit accounts as gratuitous agent for the Second Lien Collateral Agent, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.

(b) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the First Lien Claimholders, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors, any security interest granted in any such Pledged Collateral is valid or in effect or otherwise perfected or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or responsibilities of the First Lien Collateral Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee (and with respect to deposit accounts, agent) in accordance with this Section 5.5 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of First Lien Obligations as provided in paragraph (d) below.

27

(c) None of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholder shall have by reason of the First Lien Security Documents, the Second Lien Security Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders hereby waive and release the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Agent’s role under this Section 5.5 as gratuitous bailee and gratuitous agent with respect to the Pledged Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the interests of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders, on the other hand, may differ and the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall be fully entitled to act in their own interest without taking into account the interests of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders.

(d) Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations under the First Lien Loan Documents to which the First Lien Collateral Agent is a party, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral in its possession (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (such endorsement shall be without recourse to, and without any representation or warranty by, the First Lien Collateral Agent), first, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent to the extent Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding and second, to the Company only to the extent no First Lien Obligations, Excess First Lien Obligations, Second Lien Obligations or Excess Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First Lien Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the Second Lien Collateral Agent (as directed, in the case of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, by the Instructing Group) at the expense of the Company in connection with the Second Lien Collateral Agent obtaining a first-priority security interest in the Collateral. The Second Lien Collateral Agent will have no obligation to any First Lien Claimholder or Second Lien Claimholder to ensure that any Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5(d). The duties or responsibilities of the Second Lien Collateral Agent under this Section 5.5(d) will be limited solely to possessing or controlling the Pledged Collateral as bailee and/or agent for perfection in accordance with this Section 5.5(d) and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations first to the First Lien Collateral Agent and second, to the Company only to the extent no First Lien Obligations, Excess First Lien Obligations, Second Lien Obligations or Excess Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding.

(e) To the extent that any Collateral (or proceeds thereof) comes into the possession or under the control of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder at any time prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, such Collateral (and proceeds thereof) (whether arising out of the action taken to enforce, collect or realize upon any Collateral or otherwise) shall be promptly delivered to the First Lien Collateral Agent without recourse and without any representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, together with any necessary endorsements. Until such time as such Collateral (or proceeds thereof) shall have been so delivered to the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or other Second

28

Lien Claimholder shall hold same as agent and bailee for the First Lien Collateral Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest (improving the priority thereof) granted in such Collateral pursuant to the First Lien Loan Documents.

5.6 When Discharge of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If, at any time after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Company thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any First Lien Loan Document evidencing a First Lien Obligation, which Refinancing is permitted by the Second Lien Documents, then such Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of First Lien Obligations), and, from and after the date on which the New First Lien Debt Notice is delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing of the First Lien Loan Document shall automatically be treated as First Lien Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the First Lien Collateral Agent under such First Lien Loan Documents shall be the First Lien Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice (the “New First Lien Debt Notice”) stating that the Company has entered into a new First Lien Loan Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new first lien collateral agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Company or such New Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver to the New Agent any Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The New Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new First Lien Obligations under the new First Lien Loan Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting Collateral that do not also secure the Second Lien Obligations, then the Second Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a second priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Second Lien Security Documents and this Agreement.

5.7 Purchase Right.

(a) Without prejudice to the enforcement of any of the First Lien Claimholders’ remedies under the First Lien Loan Documents, this Agreement, at law or in equity or otherwise, the First Lien Claimholders agree that at any time following: (i) an acceleration of the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement, (ii) a payment default in respect of principal or interest under the First Lien Credit Agreement that has not been cured or waived by the First Lien Claimholders within 60 days of the occurrence thereof or (iii) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, will offer the Second Lien Claimholders, including the Second Lien Noteholders, by written notice to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the option to purchase the entire aggregate amount of outstanding First Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments under the First Lien Credit Agreement) at the Purchase Price without warranty or representation or recourse except as provided in Section 5.7(c). The “Purchase Price” will equal the sum of: (1) the principal amount of all loans,

29

advances or similar extensions of credit included in the First Lien Obligations (including an amount in cash equal to 103% of the undrawn amount of outstanding letters of credit), and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of purchase (but excluding any prepayment penalties or premiums), (2) the net aggregate amount then owing to First Lien Lender Counterparties under First Lien Hedging Agreements, including all amounts owing to the First Lien Lender Counterparties as a result of the termination (or early termination) thereof, and (3) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses and other amounts owed to the First Lien Claimholders under the First Lien Loan Documents on the date of purchase to the extent not allocable to Excess First Lien Obligations.

(b) The Second Lien Claimholders opting to purchase the First Lien Obligations shall irrevocably accept such offer within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt thereof and shall agree to consummate the purchase no later than the fortieth (40^th) Business Day after the receipt of such offer, subject to any required approval of any court or other Governmental Authority then in effect, if any. Such sale shall be pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, without the prior written consent of the Company or any other Grantor. If the Second Lien Claimholders reject such offer (or do not so irrevocably accept such offer within the required timeframe), the First Lien Claimholders shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7 and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the First Lien Loan Documents and this Agreement. Each First Lien Claimholder will retain all rights to indemnification provided in the relevant First Lien Loan Documents for all claims and other amounts relating to periods prior to the purchase of the First Lien Obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7. The Purchase Price shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of the First Lien Collateral Agent for the ratable account of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders in New York, New York, as the First Lien Collateral Agent may designate in writing to the Second Lien Collateral Agent for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Second Lien Noteholders that have exercised such option to the bank account designated by the First Lien Collateral Agent are received in such bank account prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by such Second Lien Noteholders to the bank account designated by the First Lien Collateral Agent are received in such bank account later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time on such Business Day.

(c) The Second Lien Claimholders agree that the purchase and sale of the First Lien Obligations under this Section 5.7 will be expressly made without recourse and without representation or warranty of any kind by the First Lien Claimholders, except that the First Lien Claimholders shall severally and not jointly represent and warrant to the Second Lien Claimholders that on the date of the purchase, immediately before giving effect to such purchase:

(i) the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the First Lien Obligations, and the fees and expenses thereof owed to the respective First Lien Claimholders, are as stated in any assignment agreement prepared in connection with the purchase and sale of the First Lien Obligations; and

30

(ii) each First Lien Claimholder owns the First Lien Obligations purported to be owned by it free and clear of any Liens (other than participation interests not prohibited by the First Lien Credit Agreement, in which case the Purchase Price will be appropriately adjusted so that the Second Lien Claimholders do not pay amounts represented by participation interests).

(d) Any Excess First Lien Obligations will, after the closing of the purchase of the First Lien Obligations in accordance with this Section 5.7 remain Excess First Lien Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 6 Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1 Finance and Sale Issues.

(a) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), on which the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit the Company or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the First Lien Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection to or contest (or join with or support any third party in objecting or contesting), and each Second Lien Claimholder shall be deemed to have consented to, such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (including any proposed orders for such Cash Collateral use and/or DIP Financing which are acceptable to the First Lien Collateral Agent) and to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the Second Lien Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly agreed by the First Lien Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3); provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the DIP Financing plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of First Lien Obligations constituting Indebtedness for borrowed money plus the aggregate face amount of any letters of credit issued and not reimbursed under the First Lien Credit Agreement does not exceed the sum of (I) the First Lien Cap Amount and (II) $50,000,000 and (ii) the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their interests. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Second Lien Claimholder, agrees that it will not provide or seek (or support any other Person that is not a First Lien Claimholder seeking) to provide DIP Financing to the Company or any other Grantor so long as the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder shall desire to provide such DIP Financing; provided, however, in the event that no First Lien Claimholder desires to provide a DIP Financing, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other First Lien Claimholder, reserves the right to object to the provision of any DIP Financing by any Second Lien Claimholder.

31

(b) The Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders agrees that it will not seek consultation rights in connection with, and it will raise no objection or oppose, a motion to Dispose of Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the requisite First Lien Claimholders have consented to such Disposition. The Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders further agrees that it will not directly or indirectly oppose or impede entry of any order in connection with such Disposition, including orders to retain professionals or set bid procedures in connection with such sale, liquidation or disposition if the requisite First Lien Claimholders have consented to such (i) retention of professionals and bid procedures in connection with such sale, liquidation or disposition of such assets and (ii) the Disposition of such assets, in which event the Second Lien Claimholders will be deemed to have consented to the Disposition of Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code and such motion does not impair the rights of the Second Lien Claimholders under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that (i) the First Lien Cap Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of such sale or other disposition which are used to pay the principal or face amount of the First Lien Obligations and (ii) any proceeds in excess of those necessary for the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall be applied in accordance with this Agreement and applicable law.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the Second Lien Collateral Agent on its behalf and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that (i) without the consent of the First Lien Claimholders, none of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Claimholders or any agent or the trustee on behalf of any of them shall, for any purpose during any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, support, endorse, propose or submit, whether directly or indirectly, any valuation of any of the Grantors or their respective assets that allocates or ascribes any value whatsoever to any of the Restricted Assets and (ii) without the consent of the First Lien Claimholders, none of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Claimholders or any agent or trustee on behalf of any of them shall for any purpose during any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise challenge, dispute or object to any valuation of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or their respective assets, or otherwise take any position with respect to such valuation, that is proposed, supported or otherwise arises in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, on grounds that such valuation does not allocate or ascribe adequate or appropriate value to any of the Restricted Assets.

6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall: (i) seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral or the Restricted Assets, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent or (ii) oppose (or support any other Person in opposing) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent for relief from such stay.

32

6.3 Adequate Protection.

(a) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):

(i) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders for adequate protection under any Bankruptcy Law; or

(ii) any objection by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding:

(i) if the First Lien Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any use of Cash Collateral or DIP Financing, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and such use of Cash Collateral or DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement; and

(ii) the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders shall only be permitted to seek adequate protection with respect to their respective rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in the form of (A) additional collateral; provided that as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral; (B) replacement Liens on the Collateral; provided that as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted senior replacement Liens on the Collateral; and (C) an administrative expense claim; provided that as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted an administrative expense claim which is senior and prior to the administrative expense claim of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders. If any Second Lien Claimholder receives post-petition interest and/or adequate protection payments in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (“Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments”), and the First Lien Claimholders do not receive payment in full in cash of all First Lien Obligations (subject, in the case of principal outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the other First Lien Loan Documents and face amounts of letters of credit, to the First Lien Cap Amount) upon the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization for, or conclusion of, that Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then, each Second Lien Claimholders shall pay over to the First Lien Claimholders an amount (the “Pay-Over Amount”) equal to the lesser of (i) the Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments received by such Second Lien Claimholders

33

and (ii) the amount of the short-fall (the “Short Fall”) in payment in full of the First Lien Obligations (subject, in the case of principal outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the other First Lien Loan Documents and face amounts of letters of credit, to the First Lien Cap Amount); provided that to the extent any portion of the Short Fall represents payments received by the First Lien Claimholders in the form of promissory notes, equity or other property, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount, the First Lien Claimholders shall, upon receipt of the Pay-Over Amount, transfer those promissory notes, equity or other property, pro rata, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount to the applicable Second Lien Claimholders in exchange for the Pay-Over Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the First Lien Claimholders shall not be deemed to have consented to, and expressly retain their rights to object to, the grant of adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the Second Lien Claimholders made pursuant to this Section 6.3(b).

(c) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that notice of a hearing to approve DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral on an interim basis shall be adequate if delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent at least two (2) Business Days in advance of such hearing and that notice of a hearing to approve DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral on a final basis shall be adequate if delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent at least fifteen (15) days in advance of such hearing.

6.4 No Waiver. Subject to Sections 3.1(a), 3.1(c), 3.1(d) and 6.7(b), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, including the seeking by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of adequate protection or the asserting by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Documents or otherwise.

6.5 Avoidance Issues. If any First Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor any amount paid in respect of First Lien Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of First Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts on the date of such Recovery, and from and after the date of such reinstatement the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall be deemed not the have occurred for all purposes hereunder. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.

6.6 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization, arrangement, compromise or liquidation or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Second Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

6.7 Post-Petition Interest.

(a) Neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any Second Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest to the extent of the value of any First Lien Claimholder’s Lien, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral.

(b) Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral (after taking into account the value of the First Lien Obligations).

6.8 Waiver. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any First Lien Claimholder arising out of the election of any First Lien Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding so long as such actions are not in express contravention of the terms of this Agreement.

6.9 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, and the First Lien Collateral Agent for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Security Documents and the Second Lien Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens; and

(b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Second Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees (and by the acceptance of the benefits hereof, each of the First Lien Claimholders and Second Lien Claimholders acknowledges and agrees) that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior

35

secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders), the First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing (or that would be owing if there were such separate classes of senior and junior secured claims) in respect of Post-Petition Interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral, with the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, Collateral or proceeds of Collateral otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Lien Claimholders).

6.10 Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which will be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Grantor will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

6.11 No Surcharge of Collateral. None of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder shall, in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, assert or enforce, at any time when the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, any claim under Section 506(c) of Title 11 of the United States Code (and otherwise) for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral.

6.12 Right to Credit Bid. None of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder shall object to, contest or oppose (or support any other Person in objecting to, contesting or opposing) in any manner the exercise by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any of the First Lien Lenders of the right to “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k) of Title 11 of the United States Code or other applicable law in respect of the Collateral.

6.13 Plan Treatment. None of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder shall seek (or cause or support any other Person to seek) the filing or confirmation of any plan of reorganization or liquidation or similar dispositive plan that does not expressly provide for the Discharge of First Lien Obligations on the plan’s effective date.

7.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities.

(a) No right of the First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Collateral Agent or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any First Lien Loan Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or any other Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any First Lien Claimholder or the First Lien Collateral Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the First Lien Loan Documents or any of the Second Lien Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.
