ARTICLE II

LOANS

Section 2.01 Term Loans.

(a) Loan Commitments.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Tranche A-1 Term Lender severally agrees to make, on the Closing Date, a Tranche A-1 Term Loan to Lead Borrower for the account of the Borrowers or to any other Borrower designated by the Lead Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Tranche A-1 Term Commitment.

- 51 -

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Tranche A-2 Term Lender severally agrees to make, on the Closing Date, a Tranche A-2 Term Loan to Lead Borrower for the account of the Borrowers in an amount equal to such Lender’s Tranche A-2 Term Commitment.

Lead Borrower may only request one borrowing under the Term Loan Commitment which shall be on the Closing Date. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject to Section 2.11 and Section 2.12, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Term Loan shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date. Each Lender’s Term Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment on such date.

(b) Borrowing Mechanics for Term Loans.

(i) Lead Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a fully executed Funding Notice no later than (A) if such Funding Notice requests a LIBOR Rate Loan, three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date or (B) if such Funding Notice requests a Base Rate Loan, two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or, in each case, such later date as Administrative Agent may agree. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Funding Notice for a Term Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Lead Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith. Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent of such Funding Notice, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Administrative Agent and Lenders (A) may act without liability upon the basis of written, facsimile, or telephonic notice believed by Administrative Agent in good faith to be from Lead Borrower (or from any Authorized Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from Lead Borrower to Administrative Agent), (B) shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Authorized Officer’s authority to request a Term Loan on behalf of Lead Borrower until Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary, and (C) shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Funding Notice.

(ii) Each Lender shall make its Term Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than noon (New York time) on the Closing Date, by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office (as identified on Appendix B). Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Term Loans available to Lead Borrower by the close of business on the Closing Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited (A) in the case of Loans made on the Closing Date, in accordance with the provisions of the Flow of Funds Agreement or (B) after the Closing Date, to the account of Lead Borrower at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office or to such other account as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent by Lead Borrower.

Section 2.02 [Reserved].

Section 2.03 Protective Advances. Subject to the limitations set forth below, and whether or not an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Agent is authorized by the Loan Parties and Lenders, from time to time in such Agent’s sole discretion (but such Agent shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make disbursements or advances to the Loan Parties, which such Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (c) to pay any other amount chargeable to, or required to be paid by, the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, payments of principal, interest, fees, and reimbursable expenses (any of such Loans are in this clause (c) referred to as “Protective Advances”). Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Article III have not been satisfied. The interest rate on all Protective Advances shall be at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for the Tranche A-2 Term Loans. Protective Advances shall not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate at any time without the prior written consent of Required Lenders. Each Protective Advance shall be secured by the Liens in favor of Collateral Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. The Protective Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 2.15(f). Borrower shall pay the unpaid principal amount and all unpaid and accrued interest of each Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date that is three (3) Business Days following the date on which demand for payment is made by the applicable Agent. The applicable Agent shall notify each Lender and Lead Borrower in writing of each such Protective Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Protective Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 9.06, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the applicable Agent, upon such Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Protective Advance. If such funds are not made available to the applicable Agent by such Lender, such Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the applicable Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate.

- 52 -

Section 2.04 Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder, nor shall any Term Loan Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder.

(b) Availability of Funds. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the Closing Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on the Closing Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on the Closing Date, and Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Lead Borrower a corresponding amount on the Closing Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the Closing Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lead Borrower, and Lead Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from the Closing Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans for such Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.04(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Term Loan Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 2.05 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall be applied by the Loan Parties (i) to consummate the Transactions (including, without limitation, to pay the Transaction Costs), (ii) to repay the Existing Indebtedness, and/or (iii) for general corporate purposes. No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner that causes or could reasonably be expected to cause such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U, or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.

- 53 -

Section 2.06 Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Term Notes.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrowers to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Borrowers’ Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; provided further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b) Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest therein) of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Loans, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Borrowers’ Obligations in respect of any Loan. Each Borrower hereby designates the entity serving as Administrative Agent to serve as each Borrower’s non-fiduciary agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.06, and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent such entity serves in such capacity, the entity serving as Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

(c) Term Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Lead Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.06) on the Closing Date or promptly thereafter (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Lead Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Tranche A-1 Term Note and/or a Tranche A-2 Term Note.

Section 2.07 Interest.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(ii) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan, and the Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be selected by Lead Borrower and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.

- 54 -

(c) In connection with LIBOR Rate Loans there shall be no more than five Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event Lead Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event Lead Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive, and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof to Lead Borrower and each Lender.

(d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.07(a) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, other than for Base Rate Loans which shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable, and actual days elapsed. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such LIBOR Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such LIBOR Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall be payable in cash and in arrears on and to (i) each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan, (ii) upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid, and (iii) at maturity, including final maturity.

(f) At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the written election of any Agent or the Required Lenders, Lead Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that any portion of the Term Loan bear interest at a rate based upon the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.

Section 2.08 Conversion/Continuation.

(a) Subject to Section 2.17 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Lead Borrower shall have the option:

(i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Term Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, that a LIBOR Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan unless the Loan Parties pay all amounts due under Section 2.17 in connection with any such conversion, or

(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a LIBOR Rate Loan.

- 55 -

(b) Lead Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative Agent no later than noon (New York time) at least two Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a LIBOR Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any LIBOR Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Lead Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

Section 2.09 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including any interest that accrues after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in whole or in part as a claim in any such Insolvency Proceeding), payable on demand at a rate that is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans); provided, that in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective, such LIBOR Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.09 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Agent or any Lender.

Section 2.10 Fees.

(a) After the Liberty Trigger Date, if the Liberty Joinder Date has not occurred, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a ticking fee (the “Liberty Ticking Fee”) in dollars at a rate per annum equal to 100 basis points, increasing by 15 basis points every 15th day after the Closing Date, until the Liberty Joinder Date, of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans, payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal month, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, calculated based upon the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year, accruing beginning on the Closing Date to but excluding the Liberty Joinder Date. The Ticking Fee shall be distributed each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share.

(b) Without duplication of any other fees set forth in this Section 2.10, the Borrowers agree to pay to Administrative Agent all fees payable by it in the Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times specified therein. The Fee Letter shall survive the termination of this Agreement until all Obligations are paid in full (other than contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations for which a claim has not been asserted)

Section 2.11 Repayments of Loans and Commitment Reductions. The principal amounts of the Term Loans shall be repaid in equal quarterly installments (each, an “Installment”) on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter (each, an “Installment Date”), each in an amount equal to $6,250,000, commencing on June 30, 2020, with any outstanding principal amounts due and payable on the earlier of (a) the Maturity Date and (b) the date on which the Term Loans otherwise become due and payable in full pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) such Installments shall be reduced in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan in accordance with Sections 2.12 and 2.13, as applicable, and (ii) the Term Loans, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date. The full amount of each Installment shall be applied to the Tranche A-1 Term Loans until paid in full and thereafter to the Tranche A-2 Term Loans until paid in full.

- 56 -

Section 2.12 Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments.

(i) Any time and from time to time:

(A) with respect to Base Rate Loans, Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount (or such lesser amount outstanding), and

(B) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part (together with any amounts due pursuant to Section 2.17(c)) in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount (or such lesser amount outstanding).

(ii) All such prepayments shall be made:

(A) upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Base Rate Loans, and

(B) upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, in each case given to Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date required (and Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such notice for Term Loans to each Lender). Upon the giving of any such notice, unless such notice is expressly conditioned on the occurrence of another transaction, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.14(a).

(b) Call Protection.

(i) If all or any part of the principal balance of any Term Loan is paid on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date for any reason (including, but not limited to, whether voluntary or mandatory (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, required amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.11 and mandatory prepayments required pursuant to Sections 2.13(e) and certain prepayments pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.13(g)), and whether before or after acceleration of the Obligations or the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, but in any event (A) including any such prepayment in connection with (I) a Change of Control, (II) an acceleration of the Obligations as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, (III) foreclosure and sale of, or collection of, the Collateral, (IV) sale of the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding, (V) the restructure, reorganization, or compromise of the Obligations by the confirmation of a plan of reorganization or any other plan of compromise, restructure, or arrangement in any Insolvency Proceeding, or (VI) the termination of this Agreement for any reason, and (B) excluding any prepayment that is required to be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.11, 2.13(e) and certain prepayments pursuant to the provisions of 2.13(g) hereof), Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders entitled to a portion of such prepayment a premium as liquidated damages and compensation for the costs of being prepared to make funds available hereunder with respect to the Loans (the “Applicable Prepayment Premium”) equal to (1) with respect to prepayments made on or after the Closing Date but prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Make-Whole Premium or (2) thereafter, the amount of such prepayment multiplied by (x) two percent (2%), with respect to prepayments made after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (y) one percent (1%), with respect to prepayments made after the second anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) zero percent (0%), with respect to prepayments made after the third anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that any Non-Consenting Lender is replaced pursuant to Section 2.22 due to such Lender’s failure to approve a consent, waiver, or amendment, such Non-Consenting Lender, as the case maybe, shall be entitled to receive the Applicable Prepayment Premium in connection with such replacement or prepayment in the amount that would have been payable in respect of the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, under this clause (b)(i) had such Term Loans been the subject of a voluntary prepayment at such time; provided, that after any such payment of the Applicable Prepayment Premium to such Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to this sentence, the Applicable Prepayment Premium with respect to that portion of the Term Loans shall be deemed fully satisfied, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (b), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional premium on or after such date with respect to that portion of the Term Loans.

- 57 -

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are accelerated prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date for any reason, including because of default, the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding pursuant to any applicable debtor relief laws, sale, disposition, or encumbrance (including that by operation of law or otherwise), the Applicable Prepayment Premium, determined as of the date of acceleration, will also be due and payable as though said Obligations were voluntarily prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. The Applicable Prepayment Premium payable in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination, and Borrowers agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances. The Applicable Prepayment Premium shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement or the Term Notes evidencing the Obligations) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by any other means. BORROWERS EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING APPLICABLE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower expressly agrees that: (A) the Applicable Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (B) the Applicable Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Prepayment Premium, and (D) Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Applicable Prepayment Premium as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Loans.

(iii) After the third anniversary of the Closing Date, no premiums shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) in connection with any prepayments of the Term Loans other than LIBOR funding breakage costs as required under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.14 Application of Prepayments/Reductions.

(a) Application of Prepayments of Term Loans. (i) Any prepayment of any Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be applied (A) first, to the Tranche A-1 Term Loans until paid in full and (B) second, to the Tranche A-2 Term Loans until paid in full, in each case, as directed by the Lead Borrower (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity thereof), and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.13 shall be applied (A) first, (x) with respect to mandatory prepayments made prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, to the Tranche A-1 Term Loans, ratably in inverse order of maturity thereof until paid in full and (y) with respect to mandatory prepayments made on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, to the Tranche A-1 Term Loans ratably in the inverse order of maturity thereof until paid in full and (B) second, to the Tranche A-2 Term Loans to the installments due thereunder (including at maturity) on pro rata basis until paid in full.

(b) Waivable Mandatory Prepayment. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Loan Parties are required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Term Loans, not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which the Loan Parties are required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, Lead Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Term Loan of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to Lead Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to do so, or if it elects not to do so and other Lenders elect to exercise such option, if it elects to receive its pro rata share of the portion of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment that such other Lenders have elected to refuse, in each case on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify Lead Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option to refuse such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and not to exercise the option to receive its pro rata share of the portion of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment that other Lenders have elected to refuse, if any). On the Required Prepayment Date, Lead Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, which amount shall be applied (i) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option to refuse such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, to prepay the Term Loans of such Lenders (which prepayment shall be applied to the scheduled Installments of principal of the Term Loan in accordance with Section 2.14(a)), (ii) to the extent of any excess, ratably to Lenders that have elected to receive the portion of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment that such other Lenders have elected to refuse, until paid in full (which prepayment shall be applied to the scheduled Installments of principal of the Term Loan in accordance with Section 2.14(a)), and (iii) to the extent of any excess, to Lead Borrower for working capital and general corporate purposes.

(c) At any time an Application Event has occurred and is continuing, all payments shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.15(g). Nothing contained herein shall modify the provisions of Section 2.10(b) or Section 2.15(b) regarding the requirement that all prepayments be accompanied by accrued interest and fees on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of such prepayment, or any requirement otherwise contained herein to pay all other amounts as the same become due and payable.

Section 2.15 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by a Borrower of principal, interest, fees, and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff, or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, not later than noon (New York time) to Administrative Agent’s Account; funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by a Borrower on the next Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid and all other amounts payable with respect to the principal amount being repaid or prepaid.

(c) Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due with respect thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any LIBOR Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(e) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period,” whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

(f) Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to noon (New York time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to Lead Borrower and each applicable Lender if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.01(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate determined pursuant to Section 2.09 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

- 62 -

(g) At any time an Application Event has occurred and is continuing, or the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.01, all payments or proceeds received by any Agent hereunder or under any Collateral Document in respect of any of the Obligations, including, but not limited, to all proceeds received by any Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied in full or in part as follows:

(i) first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees (other than the Applicable Prepayment Premium), expense reimbursements, indemnities, and other amounts then due and payable to the Agents until paid in full,

(ii) second, ratably to pay interest then due and payable in respect of Protective Advances until paid in full,

(iii) third, ratably to pay principal of Protective Advances then due and payable until paid in full,

(iv) fourth, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of the Applicable Prepayment Premium then due and payable to Lenders with a Term Loan until paid in full, and

(v) fifth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable until paid in full.

(h) For purposes of Section 2.15(g) “paid in full” means payment in cash of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including any interest that accrues after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, regardless of whether the same would be or is allowed or allowable in whole or in part as a claim in any such Insolvency Proceeding.

(i) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of Section 2.15(g) and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that both such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of Section 2.15(g) shall control and govern.

Section 2.16 Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees, and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Loan Party expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off, or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by such Loan Party to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

- 63 -

Section 2.17 Making or Maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans.

(a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice to Lead Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Lead Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by Lead Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Lead Borrower.

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Lead Borrower and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining, or continuation of its LIBOR Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender,” and it shall on that day give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Lead Borrower and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter, (A) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (B) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a LIBOR Rate Loan then being requested by Lead Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (C) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (D) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a LIBOR Rate Loan then being requested by Lead Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Lead Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.17(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.17(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

- 64 -

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Lead Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses, and liabilities (including any interest paid or calculated to be due and payable by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its LIBOR Rate Loans and any loss, expense, or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or reemployment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation, (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its LIBOR Rate Loans occurs on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Lead Borrower.

(d) Booking of LIBOR Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry, or transfer LIBOR Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.17 and under Section 2.18 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Rate Loans through the purchase of a LIBOR deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (a)(i) of the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such LIBOR deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.17 and under Section 2.18.

Section 2.18 Increased Costs.

(a) Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty, or governmental rule, regulation, or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration, or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty, or governmental rule, regulation, or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request, or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than Indemnified Tax or any Tax described under clauses (ii) through (iv) of Section 2.19(a)) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amounts payable hereunder, (ii) imposes, modifies, or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special, or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance, or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate), or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making, or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Lead Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender shall determine in its reasonable discretion) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Lead Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.18(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

- 65 -

Section 2.19 Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a) Withholding of Taxes. All sums payable by any Loan Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall (except to the extent required by applicable law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax, other than (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by the recipient’s net income (however denominated), franchise Taxes, and branch profits Taxes, imposed on the recipient, in each case, (A) as a result of such recipient being organized under the laws of, having its principal office in, or, in the case of any Lender, its applicable lending office is located in, the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (or any political subdivision thereof), or (B) as the result of any present or former connection between such recipient and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such recipient having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, or engaged in any other transaction pursuant to, or enforced any, Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Loan Document) (Taxes described in this clause (i)(B), “Other Connection Taxes”), (ii) in the case of a Lender, United States federal income withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (x) such Lender becomes a party hereto or acquires an interest in the Loan (other than pursuant to an assignment request by a Loan Party under Section 2.22), or (y) such Lender changes its lending office, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.19, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, (iii) Taxes attributable to such recipient’s failure to comply with Section 2.19(d), and (iv) withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (all such excluded Taxes, collectively or individually, “Excluded Taxes” and all such non-excluded Taxes, collectively or individually, “Indemnified Taxes”). If any Loan Party or any other Person is required by applicable law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Loan Party to any Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents: (1) Lead Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement as soon as reasonably practicable after Lead Borrower becomes aware of it, (2) Lead Borrower shall timely pay any such Tax, (3) the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding, or payment (including any deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date an amount equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding, or payment been required or made, and (4) within thirty days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, Lead Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the applicable Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

- 66 -

(b) Other Taxes. The Loan Parties shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authorities any present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.22) (“Other Taxes”). Within thirty days after paying any such Other Taxes, each Loan Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Tax Indemnification. The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold each Agent and Lender harmless from and against all Indemnified Taxes and (without duplication) Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Section 2.19) payable or paid by such Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Such indemnification shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which any Agent or Lender makes written demand therefor specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Exemption From or Reduction of U.S. Withholding Tax.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to a Loan Party and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent as will enable a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (ii), (iv) and (v) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for United States federal income Tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Agent (for transmission to Borrower upon Borrower’s written request), on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Administrative Agent (in its reasonable exercise of its discretion) or upon the reasonable request of a Loan Party, (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), as applicable, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender to establish that such Lender is not subject to, or is subject to a reduced rate of, deduction or withholding of United States federal income Tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents, and (ii) if such Lender is claiming exemption from United States federal income Tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender. Each Lender required to deliver any forms or certificates with respect to United States federal income Tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.19(d) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms or certificates, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms or certificates obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent (for transmission to Borrower) two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments thereto), W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or W-8ECI, as applicable, and, if applicable, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status (or any successor forms), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, or promptly notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms or certificates. Notwithstanding the above, a Non-US Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.19(d)(ii) that such Non-US Lender is not legally able to deliver.

- 67 -

(iii) Any Non-US Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Non-US Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iv) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by a Loan Party or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by a Loan Party or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Loan Party and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.19(d)(iv), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other form of documentation pursuant to this Section 2.19(d)(iv) that such Non-US Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(v) Each Lender that is a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for United States federal income Tax purposes shall deliver to Administrative Agent (for transmission to Borrower), on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each such Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Administrative Agent (in its reasonable exercise of its discretion) or upon the reasonable request of a Loan Party, two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such Lender to establish that such Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding Taxes with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents.

- 68 -

(e) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.19 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(f) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.19 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.

(g) For purposes of this Section 2.19, “applicable law” shall include FATCA.

Section 2.20 Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.17, 2.18, or 2.19, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund, or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18, or 2.19 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, funding, or maintaining of such Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided, that such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.20 unless Lead Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Lead Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Lead Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

- 69 -

Section 2.21 Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender violates any provision of Section 9.05(c), or, other than at the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority, defaults (in each case, a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”) any Term Loan (in each case, a “Defaulted Loan”), then (a) during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, and (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess, if any, with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans shall, if Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Term Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Term Loans outstanding and the outstanding Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender were zero and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall, if Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Term Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that Borrower shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b). No Term Loan Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.21, performance by the Loan Parties of their obligations hereunder 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 2.21. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.21 are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Loan Parties may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default or violation of Section 9.05(c).

Section 2.22 Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Lead Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19, or 2.20, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Lead Borrower’s request for such withdrawal, (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Default Period for such Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after Lead Borrower’s request that it cure such default, or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver, or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.05(b), the consent of Administrative Agent and Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender, or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), (x) Administrative Agent may (except as to any Increased Cost Lender), by giving written notice to Lead Borrower and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, and (y) the Lead Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), require such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06, and Terminated Lender shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided, that (A) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (1) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, together with, in the case of a Non-Consenting Lender, the Applicable Prepayment Premium with respect thereto (as if such Loans had been prepaid to such Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof) and (2) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.10, (B) on the date of such assignment, Lead Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19, (C) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender, and (D) the Administrative Agent shall take all actions reasonably required to effect any assignment that the Lead Borrower may require pursuant to, and in compliance with, this Section 2.22.

- 70 -

Section 2.23 Joint and Several Liability.

(a) Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by Agents and Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

(b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrower, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including any Obligations arising under this Section 2.23), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. Accordingly, each Borrower hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses that would otherwise be available to such Borrower under applicable law.

(c) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, or otherwise, or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrower will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligations until such time as all of the Obligations are paid in full, and without the need for demand, protest, or any other notice or formality.

(d) The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.23 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement (other than this Section 2.23(d)) or any other circumstances whatsoever.

- 71 -

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any portion of the Term Loans issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Agreement, notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional Obligations or other financial accommodations or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Administrative Agent or Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any right to proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person, to proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other Borrower or any other Person, to protect, secure, perfect, or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any other Borrower, any other Person, or any collateral, to pursue any other remedy in Administrative Agent or any Lender’s power whatsoever, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), any right to assert against Administrative Agent or any Lender, any defense (legal or equitable) (other than performance), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which each Borrower may now or at any time hereafter have against any other Borrower or any other party liable to Administrative Agent or any Lender, any defense (other than performance), set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor, and any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Administrative Agent or any Lender including any defense based upon an impairment or elimination of such Borrower’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of such Borrower against any other Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Administrative Agent or Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Administrative Agent or Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.23 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.23, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.23 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.23 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other Borrower, Administrative Agent or any Lender. Each Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof. Any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Borrower. Each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any other Person, other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of any Borrower or any other Person, or the validity, legality, or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment. Agent may, at the election of the Required Lenders, foreclose upon any Collateral held by Administrative Agent by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales or other dispositions, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable or otherwise fails to comply with applicable law or may exercise any other right or remedy Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against any Borrower or any other Person, or any security, in each case, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid.

(f) Each Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Lenders that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Lenders that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of Borrower’s financial condition and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

- 72 -

(g) The provisions of this Section 2.23 are made for the benefit of Administrative Agent, each Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their successors or assigns first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.23 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.23 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

(h) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the provisions of this Section 2.23, including rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Borrower, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor. If any amount shall be paid to any Borrower in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Obligations or other amounts payable under this Agreement thereafter arising. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Borrower may exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and may not proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of, any other Borrower (the “Foreclosed Borrower”), including after payment in full of the Obligations, if all or any portion of the Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Capital Stock of such Foreclosed Borrower whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

(i) Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Obligations are secured by Real Property (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement) located in California, Borrower shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing such Borrower’s right to proceed against any other Loan Party. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, each Borrower hereby waives until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full:

(i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Borrower by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899, and 3433 of the California Civil Code or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction;

- 73 -

(ii) all rights and defenses that Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement) located in California, meaning, among other things, that: (A) Administrative Agent and the Lenders may collect from Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Loan Party, and (B) if Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, forecloses on any Real Property (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement) pledged by any Loan Party, (1) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) Administrative Agent and the Lenders may collect from the Loan Parties even if, by foreclosing on the Real Property (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement), Administrative Agent or the Lenders have destroyed or impaired any right Borrower may have to collect from any other Loan Party, it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property (including any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction); and

(iii) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Obligations, has destroyed Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Loan Party by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction or otherwise.

Section 2.24 Lead Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lead Borrower as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for each Borrower, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Lead Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Lead Borrower (a) to provide Administrative Agent with all notices with respect to Term Loans obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (b) to take such action as Lead Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Term Loans and the Collateral of Loan Parties in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of Term Loans and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group.

Section 4.10 Adverse Proceedings, etc. There are no Adverse Proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, that (a) relate to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

- 81 -

Section 4.14 [Reserved].

Section 4.15 [Reserved].

Section 4.16 Governmental Regulation.

(a) No Loan Party is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, the Federal Power Act, or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable.

(b) No Loan Party is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Section 4.17 Margin Stock. No Loan Party is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.

- 82 -

Section 4.19 Employee Benefit Plans. Each Loan Party and each of its ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan except, in each case, where failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified, and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by any Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates, except, in each case, for a liability or liabilities that could not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of any Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates. The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained, or contributed to by any Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of any Loan Party and its ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is zero. Each Loan Party and each of its ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

Section 4.20 Certain Fees. No broker’s or finder’s fee or commission will be payable with respect hereto or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.22 [Reserved].

Section 4.23 Compliance with Statutes, etc. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries (excluding the Excluded Entities) is in compliance with (a) its Organizational Documents and (b) all applicable statutes, regulations, and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws with respect to any Real Estate Asset or governing its business and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws with respect to any such Real Estate Asset or the operations of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries (excluding the Excluded Entities)), except such non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

- 83 -

Section 4.24 Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party owns, or holds licenses in, or otherwise has the right to use all Material Intellectual Property that is used in the conduct of its business as currently conducted. Attached hereto as Schedule 4.24 is a true, correct, and complete listing of all registered material trademarks, copyrights, and patents, and applications therefor, as to which any Loan Party is the owner; provided, that Lead Borrower may amend Schedule 4.24 to add additional intellectual property, or to remove intellectual property in the ordinary course, so long as such amendment occurs by written notice to Administrative Agent at the time that Lead Borrower provides its Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(d).

Section 4.25 Inventory and Equipment. The Inventory and Equipment (other than vehicles or Equipment out for repair and other than Inventory and Equipment with, in the aggregate, a de minimis value) of the Loan Parties are not stored with a bailee, warehouseman, or similar party (other than Third Party Franchisees) and are located only at, or are in-transit between or to, the locations identified on Schedule 4.25 (as such Schedule may be updated pursuant to Section 5.12).

Section 4.26 Trademarks and Key Trademark Licenses. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party has the licenses to use or otherwise has the right to use all trademarks owned by third parties that are necessary to the conduct of its business as currently conducted (including, without limitation, Material Intellectual Property) (“Licensed Trademarks”). All registered trademarks and trademark applications owned by or filed in the name of the Loan Parties (“Owned Trademarks”) are in good standing and in compliance with all formal legal requirements, and all filings, payments, and other actions required to be made or taken to maintain such Owned Trademarks in full force and effect have been made by the applicable deadline. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a Material Adverse Effect, the goodwill associated with all Owned Trademarks that are currently used in commerce have not been impaired.

ARTICLE VII

GUARANTY

Section 7.01 Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand, or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

Section 7.02 Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under the Guaranties. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor under any Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Guarantors multiplied by, (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Guarantors under all Guaranties in respect of the Obligations guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guaranties that would not render its obligations under the Guaranties subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state or foreign law; provided, that solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.02, any assets or liabilities of such Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution under any Guaranty shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to any Guarantor, as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (y) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Guarantor in respect of any Guaranties (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 7.02), minus (z) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Guarantor from the other Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.02. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Guarantor. The allocation among Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.02 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Guarantor under any Guaranty. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.02.

Section 7.03 Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.02, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of a Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand, or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for such Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed or allowable against such Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

- 110 -

Section 7.04 Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent, and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety,

(b) any Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between a Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default,

(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of each Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of such Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against such Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not such Borrower is joined in any such action or actions,

(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify, or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify, or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations,

(e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge, or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner, or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) settle, compromise, release, or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations, (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations, (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate, or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against a Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents, and

- 111 -

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge, or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power, or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity, or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of, or security for the payment of, the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment, or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to Events of Default) hereof, any of the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Loan Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security, (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any respect, (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization, or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Global Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations, (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any Collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (vii) any defenses, set-offs, or counterclaims which a Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction, and usury, and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 7.05 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against a Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from a Borrower, any such other guarantor, or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of a Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever, (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, or any disability or other defense of a Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of a Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal, (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith, (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to setoffs, recoupments, and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence, and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect, or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto, (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension, or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to a Borrower, and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.04 and any right to consent to any thereof, and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

- 112 -

Section 7.06 Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right, or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against a Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right, or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law, or otherwise and including, without limitation, (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against such Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right, or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against such Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.02. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, or indemnification such Guarantor may have against such Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against such Borrower, to all right, title, and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent, on behalf of Beneficiaries, and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Beneficiaries, to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 7.07 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by such Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent, on behalf of Beneficiaries, and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Beneficiaries, to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing, or limiting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

Section 7.08 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

- 113 -

Section 7.09 Authority of Guarantors or Borrower. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or any Borrower or the officers, directors, or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

Section 7.10 Financial Condition of Borrower. Any Credit Extension may be made to a Borrower or continued from time to time without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of any Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of such Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of each Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of non-payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact, or thing relating to the business, operations, or conditions of any Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

Section 7.11 Bankruptcy, etc.

(a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Required Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency case or proceeding of or against a Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended, or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation, or arrangement of a Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which a Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree, or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or similar person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by a Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer, or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

Section 7.12 Discharge of Guaranty upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale.

Upon the receipt of Curative Equity pursuant to this Section 8.02 and inclusion of such Curative Equity in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA pursuant to this Section 8.02, then no Event of Default solely with respect to determining compliance with the Specified Financial Covenant shall be deemed to have occurred.

(d) Contemporaneously with the receipt and application of Curative Equity, Lead Borrower shall tender an updated Compliance Certificate that shall (i) include evidence of its receipt of Curative Equity proceeds and (ii) set forth a calculation of the Consolidated EBITDA (including for such purposes the proceeds of such Curative EBITDA (broken out separately)), which shall confirm that on a pro forma basis after taking into account the receipt of the Curative Equity proceeds, Borrowers would have been in compliance with the Specified Financial Covenants as of such date.

(e) Upon delivery of an updated Compliance Certificate conforming to the requirements of this Section 8.02, any Event of Default that occurred and is continuing as a result of a breach of any of any Specified Financial Covenant shall be deemed cured with no further action required by the Required Lenders or any other Person. Prior to the date of the delivery of an updated Compliance Certificate conforming to the requirements of this Section, any Event of Default that has occurred as a result of a breach of the Specified Financial Covenant shall be deemed to be continuing. In the event Lead Borrower does not cure the Specified Financial Covenants as provided in this Section 8.02, the existing Event(s) of Default shall continue unless waived in writing by the Required Lenders in accordance herewith.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lead Borrower’s rights under this Section 8.02 may (i) be exercised not more than four times during the term of this Agreement, (ii) not be exercised more than twice during any four consecutive Fiscal Quarter period, (iii) may not be exercised in consecutive Fiscal Quarters and (iv) may not be exercised more than once during any Fiscal Quarter.

Any amount of Curative Equity that is in excess of the amount sufficient to cause Borrower to be in compliance with the Specified Financial Covenant as at such date shall not constitute Curative Equity. Curative Equity shall be disregarded for purposes of determining Consolidated EBITDA for any pricing, financial covenant-based condition, any baskets with respect to the covenants contained in this Agreement, or for any other purposes under this Agreement, and there shall be no pro forma or other reduction in Indebtedness (via cash netting or otherwise) with the proceeds of any Curative Equity for purposes of determining compliance with the Specified Financial Covenant or for determining any financial covenant-based conditions, or baskets with respect to the covenants contained in this Agreement, in each case in the quarter in which such Curative Equity is used.

- 119 -

Section 9.03 General Immunity.

(a) No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, or sufficiency hereof or any other Loan Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals, or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of any Loan Party, Global Parent, Liberty/Revolution Top Parent, Vitamin Top Parent or Vitamin Intermediate Parent to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants, or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing.

Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided, that unless and until Collateral Agent has received any such direction, Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.

Upon any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right, with Lead Borrower’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (other than during the existence of an Event of Default, provided that during the existence of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders shall give five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Lead Borrower), to appoint a successor Agent that is not a Disqualified Institution. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including that such successor not be a Disqualified Institution), as applicable, from among Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, has accepted an appointment by the retiring Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, within 30 days after the retiring Agent appoints such successor Agent, such retiring Agent’s resignation shall be deemed effective, and Lead Borrower shall appoint the successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of the Lenders, without their further consent. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder.

Upon such assignment, such Affiliate shall succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(c) 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 any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by any Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits, and privileges (including exculpatory and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights, benefits, and privileges of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits, and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Loan Parties, (ii) such rights, benefits, and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and not to any Loan Party, Lender, or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender, or any other Person shall have the rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.

Should Administrative Agent or any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Collateral Agent or in accordance with Collateral Agent’s instructions. In addition, Collateral Agent shall also have the power and authority hereunder to appoint such other sub-agents as may be necessary or required under applicable state law or otherwise to perform its duties and enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral and under the Loan Documents.

Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign, or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it or other Obligations (provided, that each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Loan and any related Commitments):

(i) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (a) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” upon the giving of notice to Lead Borrower and Administrative Agent, and

(ii) to any Person otherwise constituting an Eligible Assignee with the consent of Administrative Agent and Lead Borrower (such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that (A) no consent of Lead Borrower shall be required if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof, and (C) each such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.06(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Lead Borrower and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Term Loan of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of Term Loans.

(d) Mechanics. The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall (i) execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with such forms or certificates with respect to United States federal income Tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.19(d), and (ii) pay to Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee shall not be applicable for transfers among existing Lenders and Lenders and their Affiliates and may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such processing and recordation fee shall not constitute Indemnified Liabilities.

- 130 -

(e) Notice of Assignment. Upon its receipt and acceptance of a duly executed and completed Assignment Agreement and any forms or certificates required by this Agreement in connection therewith, Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in such Assignment Agreement in the Register, shall give prompt notice thereof to Lead Borrower, and shall maintain a copy of such Assignment Agreement.

(f) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement) that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee, (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of, or investing in, commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be, (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.06, the disposition of such Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control), and (iv) such Lender does not own or control, or own or control any Person owning or controlling, any trade debt or Indebtedness of any Loan Party other than the Obligations or any Capital Stock of any Loan Party (as to this clause (iv), unless such assignment was approved by Administrative Agent and, so long as no Specified Event of Default had occurred and was continuing, Borrower).

(g) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.06, as of the later (i) of the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement or (ii) the date such assignment is recorded in the Register: (A) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof, (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.08) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, that anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder), (C) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any, and (D) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Term Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Term Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon, Lead Borrower shall issue and deliver new Term Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender and (E) the assignee thereunder shall be bound by the terms and conditions of each of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement.

- 131 -

(h) Participations.

(i) Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Eligible Assignee in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans, or in any other Obligation; provided, that any sale of any participation made to any Person other than an Eligible Assignee shall be absolutely void ab initio. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification, or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Term Note in which such participant is participating, reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof) or (B) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17(c), 2.18, and 2.19 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(c); provided, that such participant complies with Section 2.19 as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.19(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.04 as though it were a Lender, provided such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.

(ii) In the event that any Lender sells participations in its Commitments, Loans, or in any other Obligation hereunder, such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of each Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Commitments, Loans, or Obligations held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of such Commitments, Loans, or Obligations which are the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. A Commitment, Loan, or Obligation hereunder may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each Term Note shall expressly so provide). For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining the Participant Register.

(i) Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 10.06, any Lender may assign, pledge, and/or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Term Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender or any of its Affiliates to any Person providing any loan, letter of credit, or other extension of credit or financial arrangement to or for the account of such Lender or any Agent or any of its Affiliates and any agent, trustee, or representative of such Person (without the consent of, notice to, or any other action by any other party hereto), including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no Lender or Agent, as between Borrower and such Lender or Agent, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge; provided further, that in no event shall such Person, agent, trustee, or representative of such Person or the applicable Federal Reserve Bank be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender or Agent to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

- 132 -

(j) Assignments to Global Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates thereof. No assignment shall be made to Global Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any of their respective Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Permitted Holder, Ultimate Parent, Liberty/Revolution Top Parent, Vitamin Top Parent or any of the Excluded Entities).

(k) Disqualified Institutions. So long as no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no assignment or participation shall be made to a Disqualified Institution without Borrower’s consent in writing (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion) (with any assignment or participation in violation of the foregoing to be absolutely void ab initio), and upon an inquiry by any Lender to Administrative Agent as to whether a specific potential assignee or prospective participant is a Disqualified Institution, Administrative Agent shall be permitted to disclose the list of Disqualified Institutions to such inquiring Lenders; provided, that Administrative Agent shall not, in any event, be responsible for, nor have any liability in connection with, maintaining, updating, monitoring, or enforcing the list of Disqualified Institutions, nor for any assignment or participation to a Disqualified Institution to which Borrower has consented (including deemed consent), except to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision to have been caused by, or be the result, of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent.

Section 10.07 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 10.08 Survival of Representations, Warranties, and Agreements. All representations, warranties, and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Loan Party set forth in Sections 2.17(c), 2.18, 2.19, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04, and 10.10 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.16, 9.03(b), and 9.06 shall survive the payment of the Loans.

Section 10.09 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right, or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right, or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right, or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, or privilege. The rights, powers, and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers, and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Loan Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power, or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power, or remedy.

Section 10.10 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender 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 Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights 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 bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law, 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, 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.

- 133 -

Section 10.11 Severability. In case any provision herein or obligation hereunder or any Term Note or other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.12 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt.

Section 10.13 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

Section 10.14 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) THEREOF.

Section 10.15 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. (a) ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY, AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH LOAN PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (I) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS, (II) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, (III) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE LOAN PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.01, WHICH IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE LOAN PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT, AND (IV) AGREES THAT AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

- 134 -

(b) EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY AGREES THAT PROCESS MAY BE SERVED ON IT BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE ADDRESSES PERTAINING TO IT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 10.01. ANY AND ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ANY OTHER NOTICE IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IF GIVEN BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OR BY ANY OTHER MEANS OR MAIL WHICH REQUIRES A SIGNED RECEIPT, POSTAGE PREPAID, MAILED AS PROVIDED ABOVE.

Section 10.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.

EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS, OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

- 135 -

Section 10.17 Confidentiality. Each Agent and Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information regarding Ultimate Parent, Global Parent, the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by any Borrower or any of such Persons and obtained by such Lender from Ultimate Parent, Global Parent or any other Loan Party or their Subsidiaries pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Borrower that, in any event, any Agent or Lender may make (a) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Agent or Lender and to their agents, advisors, directors, and shareholders (and to other persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present, or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.17) who are directly involved with Loan Documents and related transactions and for whom the applicable Agent or Lender shall be responsible for any breach of this Section by such Persons (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), (b) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee, or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer, or participation by any such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein, (c) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it; provided, that prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Ultimate Parent, Global Parent or any other Loan Party and their Subsidiaries received by it from any of Agents or any Lender, (d) disclosure to any Lender’s financing sources; provided, that prior to any disclosure, such financing source is informed of the confidential nature of the information and instructed to keep such information confidential; provided, further, that the applicable Lender shall be responsible for any breach of this Section by such financing sources, (e) disclosures of such information to any investors and partners of any Lender; provided, that prior to any disclosure, such investor or partner is informed of the confidential nature of the information and instructed to keep such information confidential; provided, further, that the applicable Lender shall be responsible for any breach of this Section by such investors or partners, (f) disclosure required or requested in connection with any public filings, whether pursuant to any securities laws or regulations or rules promulgated therefor (including the Investment Company Act of 1940 or otherwise) or representative thereof or by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (and any successor thereto) or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Agent and Lender shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information, (g) disclosures of such information to the extent any such information becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure by any Agents or Lenders, any Affiliates of the Agents or Lenders, or any officers, directors, agents, employees, attorneys, accountants, or advisors of any Agents or Lenders or of any Affiliates of any Agents or Lenders, in breach of this Agreement, or to the extent any such information is developed independently by any such Persons, (h) to the extent not known by us to consist of material non-public information, (i) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense or to exercise rights or remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and (j) solely with and to the extent of the Borrower’s consent therefor, disclosures of any information to any Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or after the Closing Date, Administrative Agent may, at its own expense, issue news releases and publish “tombstone” advertisements and other announcements relating to this transaction in newspapers, trade journals, and other appropriate media (which may include use of logos of one or more of the Loan Parties) (collectively, “Trade Announcements”). No Loan Party shall issue any Trade Announcement except (y) disclosures required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or (z) with the prior approval of Administrative Agent.

Section 10.18 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

- 136 -

Section 10.19 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of an original counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.20 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Borrower and each Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

Section 10.21 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement, or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 10.22 PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it may be required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Persons and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify such Person in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

- 137 -

Section 10.23 Consent to Intercreditor Agreement and Liberty Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral Documents creating Liens to secure the Obligations:

(a) acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement and is satisfied with the terms and provisions thereof;

(a) authorizes and instructs Collateral Agent to (i) enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement, as Collateral Agent and on behalf of such Lender, (ii) to exercise all of Collateral Agent’s rights and to comply with all of its obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement and to take all other actions necessary to carry out the provisions and intent thereof and (iii) to take actions on its behalf in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement;

(b) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, as if it was a signatory thereto;

(c) consents to the treatment of Liens provided for under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement and in furtherance thereof authorizes the Collateral Agent to subordinate the liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations (other than liens on Term Priority Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement or the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable)) in accordance with the terms set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement or the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable;

(d) authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent or authorization from such Lender, any amendments, supplements or other modifications of the Intercreditor Agreement or the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement that the Borrowers may from time to time request to give effect to any incurrence, amendment, or refinancing of any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (j) of Permitted Indebtedness; and

(e) agrees that no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Collateral Agent as a result of any action taken by Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 10.23 or in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement.

- 138 -

Section 10.24 Intercreditor Agreement and the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement Govern. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement and the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, in all respects and, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall govern. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent or the ABL Agent, as applicable, pursuant to any Loan Document or ABL Loan Document, and the exercise of any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral by the Agent or the ABL Agent, as applicable hereunder, under any other Loan Document, or under the ABL Credit Agreement and any other agreement entered into in connection therewith are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement or the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable and in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the ABL Credit Agreement and any other agreement entered into in connection therewith, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or the Liberty Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall govern and control with respect to the exercise of any such right or remedy or the Loan Parties’ covenants and obligations.
