Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Dollar L/C Obligations under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility shall not exceed such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility as then in effect; and (ii) each Lender with an Alternative Revolving Credit Commitment under any Alternative Revolving Credit Facility severally agrees to make loans denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency to the Borrower as elected by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 (each such loan, an “Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan”) from time to time, on any Business Day until the Maturity Date, in an aggregate Dollar Amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitment under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility as then in effect; provided that after giving effect to any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing under any Revolving Credit Facility, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender under such Revolving Credit Facility, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Alternative Currency L/C Obligations under such Revolving Credit Facility shall not exceed such Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitment under such Revolving Credit Facility as then in effect. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments under each Revolving Credit Facility as then in effect, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay under Section 2.05 and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b). Dollar Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein, and Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans (other than Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars which may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans) must be Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

SECTION 2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Term Borrowing, each Revolving Credit Borrowing (other than Swing Line Borrowings with respect to which this Section 2.02 shall not apply), each conversion of Loans of a given Class from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone; provided, however, that any such notice may condition any such Term Borrowing or Revolving Credit Borrowing on the occurrence of any event or condition specified therein so long as the Borrower expressly states therein that it shall be liable for any funding losses of the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.05. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, and (iii) one (1) Business Day before the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, except that such notice of any Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the date of such Borrowing for Same Day Funds. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion

to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal Dollar Amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Amount of $500,000 in excess thereof in the case of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) the Class of the Borrowing requested and whether the Borrower is requesting the making of new Loans of the respective Class, a conversion of Loans (of a given Class) from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the currency in which the Loans to be borrowed are to be denominated, (v) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vii) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility or the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility under which such Revolving Credit Loans are being borrowed. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans (unless the Loan being made or continued is denominated in an Alternative Currency, in which case it shall be made or continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month). Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period (or fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency), it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. If no currency is specified, the requested Borrowing shall be in Dollars.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the respective Alternative Currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time in the case of any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is on the Closing Date, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing under a Revolving Credit Facility is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied,

first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and second, to the Borrower as provided above.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders may require that no Loans under the applicable Facility may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans and the Required Facility Lenders under any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility may require that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency under such Facility be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Amount thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time when Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans of a given Class from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans of a given Class as the same Type, there shall not be more than thirty (30) Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(g) shall be conclusive in

the absence of manifest error. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.03. Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitments.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A)(1) each Dollar L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Dollar Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower under any Dollar Revolving Credit Facility (provided that any Dollar Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of the Borrower) and to amend or renew Dollar Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (y) to honor drawings under the Dollar Letters of Credit and (2) the Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders under each Dollar Revolving Credit Facility severally agree to participate in Dollar Letters of Credit issued under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to this Section 2.03 and (B)(1) each Alternative Currency L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Alternative Currency Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency under any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility for the account of the Borrower (provided that any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of the Borrower) and to amend or renew Alternative Currency Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (y) to honor drawings under the Alternative Currency Letters of Credit and (2) the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders under each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility severally agree to participate in Alternative Currency Letters of Credit issued under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided that L/C Issuers shall not be obligated to make L/C Credit Extensions with respect to Letters of Credit, and Lenders shall not be obligated to participate in Letters of Credit issued under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility if, as of the date of the applicable (I) Dollar Letter of Credit under any Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, (w) the Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility would exceed such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, (x) the Outstanding Amount of the Dollar L/C Obligations under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility would exceed the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, (y) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Sublimit or (z) the Dollar Letter of Credit giving rise to such L/C Credit Extension has a stated expiry date after the Maturity Date with respect to such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility and (II) Alternative Currency Letter of Credit under any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility, (w) the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender under such Alternative Currency

Revolving Credit Facility would exceed such Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility then in effect, (x) the Outstanding Amount of the Alternative Currency L/C Obligations under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility would exceed the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility then in effect, (y) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Sublimit or (z) the Alternative Currency Letter of Credit giving rise to such L/C Credit Extension has a stated expiry date after the Maturity Date under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. Each Appropriate Lender’s risk participation in each outstanding Letter of Credit shall be automatically adjusted on each Maturity Date for any of the Revolving Credit Facilities as, and to the extent, provided in Section 2.06(e).

(ii) An L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:

(1) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless otherwise agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent; or

(2) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless (1) each Appropriate Lender shall have approved such expiry date or (2) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized.

(iii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

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

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than (i) in the case of Dollar Letters of Credit, Dollars and (ii) in the case of Alternative Currency Letters of Credit, Dollars or an Alternative Currency; or

(D) any Lender under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility is a Defaulting Lender at such time, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by such Defaulting Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations.

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

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

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

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer: (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the amount thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case

of any drawing thereunder; (g) the currency in which the requested Letter of Credit will be denominated and whether such Letter of Credit shall constitute a Dollar Letter of Credit or an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to which such Letter of Credit is to be issued; and (h) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the relevant L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of (x) each Dollar Letter of Credit under any Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, each Lender with a Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Dollar Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Dollar Letter of Credit and (y) each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit under any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility, each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time until an expiry date not later than the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such

time, to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received actual notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) sufficiently in advance of the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender, as applicable, or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (it being understood that such notice shall not be presumptively sufficient unless such notice is provided not less than five (5) Business Days in advance of such Non-Extension Notice Date).

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the relevant L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse such Alternative Currency L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Amount of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day following the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the first Business Day following the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the Dollar Amount thereof in the case of an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, (x) in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount under a Dollar Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (y) in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, in each case to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility of the Appropriate Lenders, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed

Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender (including any such Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) under any Dollar Revolving Credit Facility shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Dollar L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Dollar Letter of Credit issued under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent (which may be the same Business Day such notice is provided if such notice is provided prior to 12:00 noon), whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Dollar Revolving Credit Loan under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility in the form of a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant Dollar L/C Issuer. Each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender (including any such Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) under any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent (which may be the same Business Day such notice is provided if such notice is provided prior to 12:00 noon), whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility in the form of a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer.

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

forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer an Alternative Currency L/C Borrowing under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Alternative Currency L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, the payment by each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Alternative Currency L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an Alternative Currency L/C Advance under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

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

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

(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

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

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

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

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

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

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

(iv) any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession,

assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally;

(vi) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

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

provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by acts or omissions of such L/C Issuer constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such L/C Issuer.

(f) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.03(e); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower that were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In

furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral. If (i) any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Required Lenders require the Borrower to Cash Collateralize its L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 8.02(c), (ii) an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) occurs and is continuing, (iii) the Borrower is required to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 2.18 or (iv) for any reason, any Letter of Credit under any Revolving Credit Facility is outstanding at the time of termination of the Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Credit Facility, then the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in, the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iv), in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such Event of Default or termination and, in the case of clause (iii), in the amount specified in Section 2.18), and shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m. on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i) or (iii), (1) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice thereof, if such notice is received on such day prior to 12:00 noon or (2) if clause (1) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice and (y) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (ii), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding such day. For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant L/C Issuer and the Appropriate Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations under the applicable Revolving Credit Facilities, cash or deposit account balances (“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Appropriate Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Appropriate Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked accounts at the Administrative Agent and may be invested in readily available Cash Equivalents selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. In the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, if such Event of Default is cured or waived and no other Event of Default is then occurring and continuing, the amount of any Cash Collateral shall be refunded to the Borrower.

(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary

Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees.

(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share (if any) a Letter of Credit fee for each Dollar Letter of Credit issued under any Dollar Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Applicable Rate then in effect for the applicable Class or Classes of the respective Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments times the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Dollar Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Dollar Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Dollar Letter of Credit). Such Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Dollar Letter of Credit, on any relevant Maturity Date (for any applicable Revolving Credit Commitments then expiring) or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Dollar Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit issued under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum Dollar Amount then available to be drawn under such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit). Such Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fronting fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other

processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.

(k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in any Letter of Credit Application, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

(l) Addition of an L/C Issuer.

(i) A Dollar Revolving Credit Lender may become an additional Dollar L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Dollar Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional Dollar L/C Issuer.

(ii) An Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender may become an additional Alternative Currency L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional Alternative Currency L/C Issuer.

(iii) On the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (and on such other dates as the Administrative Agent may request), each L/C Issuer shall provide the Administrative Agent a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time together with such other information as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

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

(n) Existing Letters of Credit. All Dollar Letters of Credit (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date shall be deemed to be Dollar Letters of Credit issued under the New Dollar Revolving Credit Facility on the Restatement Effective Date. All Alternative Currency Letters of Credit (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date shall be deemed to be Alternative Currency Letters of Credit issued under the New Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility on the Restatement Effective Date.

SECTION 2.04. Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day (other than the Closing Date) under any

Dollar Revolving Credit Facility until the Maturity Date of such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans under any Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and Dollar L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility; provided that, (i) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan under any Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Dollar L/C Obligations under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility shall not exceed such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans under any Dollar Revolving Credit Facility at a time when a Dollar Revolving Credit Lender under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loans, including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05 and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Swing Line Loans shall only be denominated in Dollars. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan under any Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone; provided, however, that any such notice may condition any such Swing Line Borrowing on the occurrence of any event or condition specified therein so long as the Borrower expressly states therein that it shall be liable for any funding losses of the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.05. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 (and any amount in excess of $100,000 shall be an integral multiple of $25,000), (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day and (iii) the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility under which such Swing Line Borrowing is to be made. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents

thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender under the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility under which any Swing Line Loan is made make a Dollar Revolving Credit Loan in the form of a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender under the applicable Dollar Revolving Credit Facility shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Dollar Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount under the relevant Dollar Revolving Credit Facility. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

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

(iii) If any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified

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

(iv) Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Dollar Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall, subject to the express provisions of Section 2.06(e) (to the extent applicable), be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Dollar Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan under any Dollar Revolving Credit Facility is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender under such Dollar Revolving Credit Facility shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause (d)(ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

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

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

SECTION 2.05. Prepayments.

(a) Optional.

(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars or London, England time in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency) (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (B) four (4) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency and (C) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any partial prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding (it being understood that Base Rate Loans shall be denominated in Dollars only). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of principal of, and interest on, Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans shall be made in the relevant Alternative Currency (even if the Borrower is required to convert currency to do so). Each prepayment of the Loans of a given Class pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(ii) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (2) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $25,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment

and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. All Swing Line Loans shall be denominated in Dollars only.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or 2.05(a)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or any portion of any applicable Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(iv) Voluntary prepayments of any Class of Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal of such Class of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(a) in a manner determined at the discretion of the Borrower (although in all cases on a pro rata basis to the respective Lenders of such Class) and specified in the notice of prepayment.

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii)(II) or voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(a) of Dollar Term Loans or Euro Term Loans shall be subject to a Repricing Premium.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) Within five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a), the Borrower shall offer to prepay, subject to clause (b)(vi) of this Section 2.05(b), an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (on a pro rata basis based on the Dollar Amount thereof) equal to (A) 50% (such percentage as it may be reduced as described below, the “ECF Percentage”) of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements (commencing with the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008) minus (B) the sum of (i) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans during such fiscal year and (ii) all voluntary prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans during such fiscal year to the extent the Revolving Credit Commitments are permanently reduced by the amount of such payments, in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness; provided that (x) the ECF Percentage shall be 25% if the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than or equal to 4.0 to 1.0 and greater than 3.5 to 1.0 and (y) the ECF Percentage shall be 0% if the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than or equal to 3.5 to 1.0.

(ii) (A) If (1)(x) the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(a), (b), (c), (d) (to the extent constituting a Disposition to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor), (e), (g), (h), (k), (l), (n), (o) or (p)) or (y) any Casualty Event occurs, which results in the realization or receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds and (2) the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for the Test Period immediately preceding such Disposition or Casualty Event is greater than 4.0 to 1.0 (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis), the Borrower shall offer to prepay on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, subject to clauses (b)(vi) and (b)(vii) of this Section 2.05, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans

(on a pro rata basis based on the Dollar Amount thereof) equal to 100% (such percentage as it may be reduced as described below, the “Disposition Prepayment Percentage”) of all Net Cash Proceeds realized or received; provided that (x) the Disposition Prepayment Percentage shall be 50% if the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for the Test Period immediately preceding such Disposition or Casualty Event was less than or equal to 4.0:1.0 and greater than 3.0 to 1.0 and (y) the Disposition Prepayment Percentage shall be 0% if the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for the Test Period immediately preceding such Disposition or Casualty Event was less than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0; provided, further, that, (I) except as provided in Section 7.05(j)(iii), no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) with respect to such portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B) and (II) the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay or repurchase Permitted Pari Passu Debt to the extent any document governing such Permitted Pari Passu Debt requires the Borrower to prepay or make an offer to purchase such Permitted Pari Passu Debt with such Net Cash Proceeds, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (X) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds and (Y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Permitted Pari Passu Debt with a Lien on all or any portion of the Collateral ranking pari passu with the Liens securing the Obligations and with respect to which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to purchase exists and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Permitted Pari Passu Debt and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.

(B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition (other than any Disposition specifically excluded from the application of Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its business within (x) twenty-four (24) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twenty-four (24)months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) twenty-four (24) months following receipt thereof and (2) one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of such legally binding commitment; provided that if any Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, and subject to clauses (b)(v) and (b)(vii) of this Section 2.05, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05.

(iii) If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues (I) any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03 (but subject to Section 7.03(z)) or (II) incurs any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (other than Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness to replace or refinance any Revolving Credit Facility), the Borrower shall prepay, subject to clause (b)(v) of this Section 2.05, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(iv) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time when the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Exposure under any Alternative Currency Revolving

Credit Facility at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay Alternative Currency Revolving Loans and/or the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Alternative Currency L/C Obligations, in each case, under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Exposure as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate Alternative Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect thereunder; provided that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(g)(ii), the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the Alternative Currency L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(iv) unless after the prepayment in full of the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans under such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility, the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Exposure thereunder exceeds the aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder then in effect. The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of further exchange rate fluctuations.

(v) (X) Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i), (b)(ii) or (b)(iii)(I) shall, except as otherwise provided in clause (viii), be applied pro rata to each Class of Term Loans and within each such Class to the remaining scheduled installments of principal of one or more Classes of Term Loans determined at the discretion of the Borrower and specified to the Administrative Agent, (Y) each such prepayment shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata shares of such prepayment subject to clause (vi) of this Section 2.05(b), and (Z) each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii)(II) shall be applied pro rata to each Class of Term Loans (except that the Borrower may elect (A) to apply such payments disproportionately to any Class of Term Loans with a Maturity Date earlier than any other Class of Term Loans so long as such prepayment is, except as permitted by the following subclause (B), made to Classes of Term Loans with the same Maturity Date on a pro rata basis and/or (B) to apply Net Cash Proceeds from Euro denominated Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness disproportionately to repay Euro denominated Term Loans prior to repaying Dollar denominated Term Loans and or apply Net Cash Proceeds from Dollar denominated Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness disproportionately to repay Dollar denominated Term Loans prior to repaying Euro denominated Term Loans).

(vi) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii)(I) of this Section 2.05(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Term Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Term Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment. Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii)(I) of this Section 2.05(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a

given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be offered to the Term Lenders not so declining such prepayment on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Dollar Amounts of the Term Loans of such Lender (with such non-declining Term Lenders having the right to decline any prepayment with Declined Proceeds at the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent). To the extent such non-declining Term Lenders elect to decline their pro rata share of such Declined Proceeds, any Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter shall be retained by the Borrower (“Retained Declined Proceeds”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Term Lender shall be permitted to issue a Rejection Notice with respect to any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii).

(vii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05(b), (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii) (a “Foreign Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Casualty Event”), or Excess Cash Flow are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition, any Foreign Casualty Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax cost consequence with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) (or such Excess Cash Flow would have been so required if it were Net Cash Proceeds), (x) the Borrower applies an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by the Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary) or (y) such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow are applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary.

(c) Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.05, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.05 prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder together with accrued and unpaid interest to the last day of such Interest Period into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.05.

SECTION 2.06. Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class, in each case without premium or penalty; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent one (1) Business Day prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Dollar Revolving Credit Facilities, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Except as provided above, the amount of any such Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all or any portion of any applicable Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(b) Mandatory. The Revolving Credit Commitments of each Class shall terminate on the Maturity Date for such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, all Original Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Restatement Effective Date and all principal, interest and fees accrued and unpaid through the Restatement Effective Date in respect of the Original Revolving Credit Commitments shall be payable on the Restatement Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance notice of the termination of the Original Revolving Credit Commitments shall be required hereunder.

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Swing Line Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07 and except as provided in clause (d) below). All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

(d) Revolving Commitment Terminations in connection with Refinancing Amendments. On the date of the effectiveness of any Other Revolving Credit Commitments, the amount of the commitments which became so effective shall be required to reduce commitments pursuant to the then outstanding Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments, as elected by the Borrower, and at such time repayments of outstandings pursuant to the respective Revolving Credit Facilities shall be made to the extent needed so that the provisions Section 2.05(b)(iv) are complied with at such time. In addition, at the time of any incurrence of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 7.03(aa)(i) which constitutes Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any Revolving Credit Facility, an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds thereof (or, if greater, the total commitments with respect thereto) shall be applied to permanently reduce outstanding Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments, as elected by the Borrower, and at such time repayments of outstandings pursuant to the respective Revolving Credit Facilities shall be made so that the provisions of Section 2.05(b)(iv) are complied with at such time. All reductions to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class pursuant to this clause (d) shall be applied pro rata to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class of each Lender; provided that the Borrower may, at its option, direct that any commitment reductions required by this clause (d) be applied to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Lender providing any portion of the applicable Other Revolving Credit Commitments or Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness prior to being applied to the Revolving Credit Commitments of Lenders not providing the applicable Other Revolving Credit Commitments or Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness.

SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans.

(a) Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such day following the Restatement Effective Date, an aggregate principal amount equal to (x) 0.25% of the product of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Euro Term Loans and Dollar Term Loans outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement on the Closing Date multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Euro Term B Loans and Dollar Term B Loans outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date (after giving effect to the conversions to occur on the Restatement Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.01(a)) and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans on the Restatement Effective Date and (y) 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Euro Term B-1 Loans and Dollar Term B-1

Loans outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date (in each case, as such repayment amounts shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05); provided that at the time of any effectiveness of any Term Loan Extension Amendment, the scheduled amortizations with respect to the Dollar Term Loans and Euro Term Loans set forth above shall be reduced ratably to reflect the percentage of Dollar Term Loans and Euro Term Loans converted to Extended Term Loans (but will not affect the amount of amortization received by a given lender with outstanding Dollar Term Loans and Euro Term Loans), (ii) the amortization for any new Class of Term Loans established pursuant to an Incremental Amendment, a Term Loan Refinancing Amendment or a Term Loan Extension Amendment shall be as agreed in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and specified in such Incremental Amendment, Term Loan Refinancing Amendment or Term Loan Extension Amendment, as applicable, and (iii) on the Maturity Date for each Class of Term Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all such Term Loans outstanding on such date.

(b) Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders on the applicable Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facilities of a given Class the aggregate principal amount of all of its Revolving Credit Loans of such Class outstanding on such date.

(c) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the Maturity Date for the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility (although Swing Line Loans may thereafter be reborrowed, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, if there are one or more Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments which remain in effect).

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, all Loans shall be repaid, whether pursuant to this Section 2.07 or otherwise, in the currency in which they were made.

SECTION 2.08. Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate plus (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of the applicable Class. For the avoidance of doubt, each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan (other than an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan denominated in Dollars) shall be a Eurocurrency Rate Loan.

(b) The Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in the currency in which each Loan was made.

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

(a) Commitment Fee. With respect to each Revolving Credit Facility, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender for such Facility in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate with respect to commitment fees then in effect for the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments for such Facility exceed the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans under such Facility and (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations for such Facility; provided that any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Credit Commitments under such Facility of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; provided further that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Facility of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The commitment fees for a Revolving Credit Facility shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the relevant Maturity Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and any such accrued and unpaid fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date for such Facility. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Agent).

SECTION 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Administrative Agent’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360 day

100

year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year) or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.11. Evidence of Indebtedness.

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

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

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register

101

or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 2.12. Payments Generally.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to payments in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office for payment and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time on the dates specified herein. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Amount of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time), in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Unless the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of any Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder, that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to such Lender or L/C Issuer. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then such Lender or L/C Issuer shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender or L/C Issuer in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or L/C Issuer to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and

102

such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

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

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender

103

in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

SECTION 2.14. Incremental Credit Extensions.

(a) (i) At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly make available to each of the Lenders), request to effect (x) increases in the aggregate amount of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class (each such increase, a “Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase”) or increases in the amount of the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class (each such increase, an “Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Increase” and, together with any Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase, the “Revolving Commitment Increases”) or (y) one or more additional Classes of revolving commitments (“Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments”) to make Dollar Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower (the “Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Loans”) or one or more additional Classes of revolving commitments (“Incremental Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments”) to make Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower (“Incremental Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans” and, together with the Incremental Dollar Revolving Credit Loans, the “Incremental Revolving Loans”; together with the Revolving Commitment Increases, the “Incremental Revolving Facilities”) from one or more Additional Revolving Lenders; provided that at the time of each such request and upon the effectiveness of each Incremental Revolving Facility Amendment referred to below, (A) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating compliance with clause (iii) below, together with reasonably detailed calculations of the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, (B) in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase, the maturity date of such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be the Maturity Date of the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments being increased, such Revolving Commitment Increase shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Revolving Maturity Date and such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be on the same terms governing the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Agreement, (C) in the case of any Incremental Revolving Loans, the maturity date thereof shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of any Revolving Credit Commitments then outstanding and such Incremental Revolving Loans shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Latest Maturity Date of any Revolving Credit Commitments then outstanding, (D) the interest rate margins and fees applicable to any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder and (E) any Incremental Revolving Facility Amendment shall be on the terms

104

and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Additional Revolving Lenders with the applicable Incremental Revolving Facilities; provided that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with this Agreement (except to the extent permitted by clause (D) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that no L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender shall be required to act as “issuing bank” or “swingline lender” under any such Incremental Revolving Facility without its written consent. Each Incremental Revolving Facility made available to the Borrower shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than a Dollar Amount of $10,000,000; provided that such amount may be less than a Dollar Amount of $10,000,000 if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Revolving Facilities set forth above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, there shall be no more than six Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding at any one time.

(ii) At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly make available to each of the Lenders), request to effect (x) commitments for increases in the aggregate amount of the Dollar Term B-1 Loans or in the amount of any other Class of Dollar Term Loans (other than Dollar Term B Loans) (each such increase, a “Dollar Term Commitment Increase”) or increases in the amount of the Euro Term B-1 Loans or in the amount of any other Class of Euro Term Loans (other than Euro Term B Loans) (each such increase, a “Euro Term Commitment Increase,” and together with the Dollar Term Commitment Increase, the “Term Commitment Increases”) or (y) one or more additional tranches of Dollar Term Loans to the Borrower (“Incremental Dollar Term Loans” and the commitments thereunder together with any commitments in respect of Term Commitment Increases, “Incremental Term Commitments”) or one or more additional tranches of Euro Term Loans (“Incremental Euro Term Loans” and, together with the Incremental Dollar Term Loans, the “Incremental Term Loans”; together with the Term Commitment Increases, the “Incremental Term Facilities”) from one or more Additional Term Lenders; provided that at the time of each such request and upon the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Facility Amendment referred to below, (A) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating compliance with clause (iii) below, together with reasonably detailed calculations of the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, (B) in the case of a Term Commitment Increase, the maturity date of such Term Commitment Increase shall be the Term Maturity Date for the Dollar Term B-1 Loans and Euro Term B-1 Loans, (C) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, the maturity date thereof shall be no earlier than the Term Maturity Date for the Dollar Term B-1 Loans and Euro Term B-1 Loans and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any such Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Dollar Term B-1 Loans and Euro Term B-1 Loans, (D) the interest rate margins and, subject to clause (C), the amortization schedule for any Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and lenders thereunder; and (E) any Incremental Term Facility Amendment shall be on the terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Additional Term Lenders with the applicable Incremental Term Facilities; provided that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with this Agreement (except to the extent permitted by clause (D) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Each Incremental Term Facility denominated in Dollars funded to the Borrower shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is

105

not less than a Dollar Amount of $10,000,000; provided that such amount may be less than a Dollar Amount of $10,000,000 if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Facility set forth above. Each Incremental Term Facility denominated in Euros funded to the Borrower shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than €10,000,000; provided that such amount may be less than €10,000,000 if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Facility set forth above.

(iii) The Borrower may only incur any Incremental Term Facility or obtain any commitments in respect of any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) if (x) immediately before and after such incurrence, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as of the date of any such incurrence of an Incremental Term Facility or the effectiveness of any such commitments in respect of an Incremental Revolving Facility, as the case may be, would be equal to or less than 4.50 to 1.00, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom and treating, in the case of any such commitments in respect of an Incremental Revolving Facility, the proposed amount thereof as fully drawn), as if such Indebtedness had been incurred and the application of the proceeds therefrom had occurred on the date of such incurrence.

(b) (i) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount of the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility or Incremental Term Facility. The Borrowers may use the proceeds of the Incremental Revolving Facility or Incremental Term Facility for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(ii) Commitments in respect of any Incremental Revolving Facility shall become Commitments (or in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of the applicable Class) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Revolving Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, such Additional Revolving Lender and the Administrative Agent. Incremental Revolving Facilities may be provided, subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld), by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender shall have the right to participate in any Incremental Revolving Facility or, unless it agrees, be obligated to provide any Incremental Revolving Loan or Revolving Commitment Increase and that any existing Lender who does not respond to a request by the Borrower with respect to an Incremental Revolving Facility shall be deemed to have declined to provide any Incremental Revolving Loan or Revolving Commitment Increase thereunder) or by any Additional Revolving Lender. An Incremental Revolving Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Additional Revolving Lenders, be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Credit Extension” in Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Revolving Facility Closing Date for such

106

Incremental Revolving Facility Amendment) and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).

(iii) Commitments in respect of any Incremental Term Facility shall become Commitments (or in the case of any Term Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Term Lender, an increase in such Term Lender’s Term Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Term Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents executed by the Borrower, such Additional Term Lender and the Administrative Agent. Incremental Term Facilities may be provided, subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld), by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender shall have the right to participate in any Incremental Term Facility or, unless it agrees, be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loan or Term Commitment Increase and that any existing Lender who does not respond to a request by the Borrower with respect to an Incremental Term Facility shall be deemed to have declined to provide any Incremental Term Loan or Term Commitment Increase thereunder) or by any Additional Term Lender. An Incremental Term Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any Incremental Term Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Additional Term Lenders, be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Term Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Credit Extension” in Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Term Facility Closing Date for such Incremental Term Facility Amendment) and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).

(c) Upon each increase in (A) the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class pursuant to Section 2.14, (x) each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender with a Commitment of such Class immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Additional Revolving Lender providing a portion of the Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase (each a “Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Dollar Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans under the applicable Facility such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Dollar Letters of Credit under such Facility and (ii) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans under such Facility held by each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender (including each such Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) shall equal

107

the percentage of the aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments under such Facility of all Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders represented by such Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment under such Facility and (y) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Dollar Revolving Credit Loans outstanding under such Facility, such Dollar Revolving Credit Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Dollar Revolving Credit Loans under such Facility made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 3.05 and (B) the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments under any Facility pursuant to this Section 2.14, (x) each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender under such Facility immediately prior to such increase shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Additional Revolving Lender providing a portion of the Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Increase (each an “Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Increase Lender” and, together with each Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase Lender, the “Revolving Commitment Increase Lenders”) in respect of such increase, and each such Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Increase Lender shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Alternative Currency Letters of Credit under such Facility such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Alternative Currency Letters of Credit under such Facility held by each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender (including each such Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) shall equal the percentage of the aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments under such Facility of all Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders represented by such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment under such Facility and (y) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans outstanding under such Facility, such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans under such Facility made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 3.05. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Amendment, participations in Letters of Credit may, with the consent of the relevant L/C Issuer, be reallocated from any then existing Revolving Credit Facility to the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility in accordance with the terms of such Revolving Facility Amendment.

(d) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.15. Refinancing Amendments. At any time after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender and such

108

Lender and/or Additional Lender has the right, but not the obligation, to provide Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of (a) all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include, without limitation, any then outstanding Other Term Loans) or (b) subject to the last sentence of Section 2.14(a)(i), all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans (or unused Revolving Credit Commitments) under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (b) will be deemed to include, without limitation, any then outstanding Other Revolving Credit Loans and Other Revolving Credit Commitments), in the form of (x) Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments or (y) Other Revolving Credit Loans or Other Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will not rank higher in right of payment or, if secured, of security than the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii) will have such pricing and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iii) (x) with respect to any Other Revolving Credit Loans or Other Revolving Credit Commitments, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the Maturity Date of Revolving Credit Loans (or unused Revolving Credit Commitments) being refinanced and (y) with respect to any Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments, will have a Maturity Date that is not prior to the Maturity Date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Term Loans being refinanced and (iv) will have terms and conditions that are substantially identical to, or less favorable to the investors providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness than, the Refinanced Debt; provided further that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the applicable Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is issued, incurred or obtained. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Restatement Effective Date (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.15 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $25,000,000 or €25,000,000, as applicable, in the case of Other Term Loans, or $10,000,000 in the case of Other Revolving Credit Loans and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 or €1,000,000, as applicable, in excess thereof. Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Borrower, or the provision to the Borrower of swing line loans, pursuant to any Other Revolving Credit Commitments established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect immediately prior to the establishment of such Other Revolving Credit Commitments (it being understood that no Swing Line Lender or L/C Issuer shall have any obligation to act in such capacity thereunder). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and

109

terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment, participations in Letters of Credit may, with the consent of the relevant L/C Issuer, be reallocated from any then existing Revolving Credit Facility to such Other Revolving Commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment.

SECTION 2.16. Extended Term Loans.

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of a given Class (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide an Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (y) be identical to the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted, except that: (i) the scheduled amortization payments of principal, if any, and/or scheduled final maturity date of the Extended Term Loans shall be as set forth in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment, subject to the provisos below, (ii) the fees and interest rates with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than the fees and interest rates for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment, (iii) the Term Loan Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Term Loan Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); and (iv) Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment premiums) and mandatory repayment terms (other than as to scheduled amortization and final maturity date) as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof; provided that in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Maturity Date of the Existing Term Loan Tranche being extended. Any Class of Extended Term Loans converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans converted from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Term Loan Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Term Loans (in which case scheduled amortization with respect thereto shall be proportionally increased).

110

(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request (which may be in the form of a term sheet posted to a website for the benefit of the Lenders) at least two (2) Business Days (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may agree) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche are requested to respond (although any changes to terms previously announced shall only require such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may agree), and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably requested by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16. For the avoidance of doubt, any Lender that does not respond to such Extension Request will be deemed not to have agreed to provide Extended Term Loans. Any Lender (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, a “Term Loan Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Term Loans (subject to any customary minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche in respect of which applicable Term Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans subject to Term Loan Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans included in each such Term Loan Extension Election.

(c) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Term Loan Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender providing an Extended Term Loan thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.16(a) above and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, any Lender that does not consent to a Term Loan Extension Amendment will be deemed not to have agreed to provide Extended Term Loans. The effectiveness of any Term Loan Extension Amendment shall, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, be subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date, (ii) customary opinions of counsel to the Loan Parties reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (iii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Term Loan Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby (A) agrees that this Agreement and the other Loans Documents may be amended pursuant to a Term Loan Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent reasonably required to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto (including changes and additional terms as agreed by the relevant Lenders and permitted pursuant to Section 2.16(a)) and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. The Required Lenders (by executing and delivering the Amendment and thereby binding themselves and all successors and assigns) hereby expressly and irrevocably, for the benefit of all parties hereto, authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into such Term Loan Extension Amendment and (B) consents to

111

the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.16 (including, payment of interest, fees or premiums in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Term Loan Extension Amendment).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, at any time following the establishment of a Term Loan Extension Series or the Euro Term B-1 Loans and Dollar Term B-1 Loans, the Borrower may offer any Lender of the relevant Existing Term Loan Tranche (without being required to make the same offer to any or all other Lenders) or Euro Term B Loans or Dollar Term B Loans, as applicable, who failed to make a Term Loan Extension Election in respect of all or a portion of its Term Loans on or prior to the date specified in the Extension Request relating to such Term Loan Extension Series or who failed to make an election in respect of the Amendment (or, in either case, whose election was incorrectly compiled by the Administrative Agent) the right to convert all or any portion of its Term Loans under the respective Existing Term Loan Tranche into Extended Term Loans under such Term Loan Extension Series; provided that (A) such offer and any related acceptance shall be on identical terms to those offered to the Lenders who agreed to convert their Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche into Extended Term Loans pursuant to the respective Extension Request or in connection with the establishment of the Euro Term B-1 Loans and Dollar Term B-1 Loans, as applicable, and (B) any Lender which agrees to an extension pursuant to this clause (d) shall enter into a joinder agreement to the respective Term Loan Extension Amendment or the Amendment, as applicable, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and executed by such Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties (and the Required Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such joinder agreement).

SECTION 2.17. Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a) Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.14(a)(i), the Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments (and related Revolving Credit Loans and other related extensions of credit) of a given Class (each, an “Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) with respect to all or a portion of such Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so converted, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments,” and the revolving loans thereunder, “Extended Revolving Credit Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.17. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide an Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such applicable Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche and (y) be identical to the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche from which such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are to be converted, except that: (i) the scheduled amortization payments, if any, of principal, scheduled or mandatory commitment reductions and/or scheduled final maturity date of the Extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be as set forth in the applicable Revolver Extension Amendment, subject to the provisos below, (ii) the fees and interest rates with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit

112

Loans may be different than the fees and interest rates for the Revolving Credit Loans of such Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Revolver Extension Amendment, (iii) the Revolver Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Maturity Date which applied to the respective Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche with respect to which the Extension Request is being made and (iv) Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment premiums) and mandatory commitment reduction and repayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof; provided that, in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Credit Loans of a given Revolving Credit Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Maturity Date which applied to the respective Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche with respect to which the Extension Request is being made. Any Class of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolving Credit Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments converted from an Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Revolver Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Revolving Credit Commitments.

(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request (which may be in the form of a term sheet posted to a website for the benefit of the Lenders) at least two (2) Business Days (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may agree) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche are requested to respond (although any changes to terms previously announced shall only require such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may agree), and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably requested by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.17. Any Lender (each, an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, a “Revolver Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (subject to any customary minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche in respect of which applicable Revolving Credit Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Revolving Credit Commitments subject to Revolver Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments included in each such Revolver Extension Election.

(c) Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Revolver Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, each Extending Revolving Credit Lender providing an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment thereunder (and any Lender agreeing to

113

act as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender thereunder (it being understood that no Lender shall be under any obligation to do so), which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.17(a) above and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The effectiveness of any Revolver Extension Amendment shall, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, be subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date, (ii) customary opinions of counsel to the Loan Parties reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (iii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Revolver Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby (A) agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to a Revolver Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent reasonably required to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments incurred pursuant thereto (including changes and additional terms as agreed by the relevant Lenders and permitted pursuant to Section 2.17(a)) and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. The Required Lenders (by executing and delivering the Amendment and thereby binding themselves and all successors and assigns) hereby expressly and irrevocably, for the benefit of all parties hereto, authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into such Revolver Extension Amendment and (B) consents to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.17 (including, payment of interest, fees or premiums in respect of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Revolver Extension Amendment).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, at any time following the establishment of a Revolving Credit Loan Extension Series, the Borrower may offer any Lender of the relevant Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche (without being required to make the same offer to any or all other Lenders) who failed to make a Revolver Extension Election in respect of all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments on or prior to the date specified in the Extension Request relating to such Revolving Credit Loan Extension Series the right to convert all or any portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments (and related extensions of credit) under the respective Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related extensions of credit) under such Revolving Credit Loan Extension Series; provided that (A) such offer and any related acceptance shall be on identical terms to those offered to the Lenders who agreed to convert their Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolving Credit Loan Tranche into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the respective Extension Request and (B) any Lender which agrees to an extension pursuant to this clause (d) shall enter into a joinder agreement to the respective Revolver Extension Amendment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and executed by such Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties (and the Required Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such joinder agreement). In addition, if so provided in the relevant Revolver Extension Amendment, participations in Letters of Credit may, with the consent of the relevant L/C Issuer, be reallocated from any then existing Revolving Credit Facility to such Revolving Credit Loan Extension Series in accordance with the terms of such Revolver Extension Amendment.

114

SECTION 2.18. Defaulting Lenders.

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

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

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09) in respect of any Revolving Credit Facility, shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or a payment made by the L/C Issuer pursuant to a Letter of Credit and such Lender is a Defaulting Lender under clause (a) of the definition thereof, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant Loans of, and disbursements owed to, the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied pursuant to Section 2.03(g). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.03(g) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for a period during which that Lender is a

115

Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans funded by it. Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to Section 2.03(i) and (j) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which the Defaulting Lender has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.03(g).

(iv) Reallocation of Pro Rata Shares to Reduce Fronting Exposure and Cash Collateralization of Excess Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender under any Revolving Credit Facility under which such Defaulting Lender holds a Commitment to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04 and the payments of participation fees pursuant to Sections 2.03(i) and 2.03(j), the “Pro Rata Share” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans under any Revolving Credit Facility shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender under such Revolving Credit Facility minus (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Lender under such Revolving Credit Facility. To the extent the reallocation above does not fully cover the amount of L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans under any Revolving Credit Facility, the Borrower shall repay Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit, in each case, under such Revolving Credit Facility to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)) and the Borrower shall be entitled to the return of any Cash Collateral posted to cover any excess exposure, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

116

ARTICLE III

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality

SECTION 3.01. Taxes.

(a) Except as required by law, any and all payments by the Borrower (the term Borrower under Article III being deemed to include any Subsidiary for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued) or any Guarantor to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Agent and each Lender, (i) taxes imposed on or measured by its net income (including branch profits) imposed by reason of any connection between it and any jurisdiction other than by executing or entering into any Loan Document, receiving payments thereunder or having been a party to, performed its obligations under, or enforced, any Loan Documents, (ii) franchise (and similar) taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, (iii) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed in respect of an Assignee (pursuant to an assignment under Section 10.07) on the date it becomes an Assignee to the extent such tax is in excess of the tax that would have been applicable had such assigning Lender not assigned its interest arising under any Loan Document (unless such assignment is at the express written request of the Borrower) and (iv) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed as a result of the failure of any Agent or Lender to comply with either the provisions of Section 3.01(b) and (c) (in the case of any Foreign Lender, as defined below) or the provisions of Section 3.01(d) (in the case of any U.S. Lender, as defined below) (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or, in the case of U.S. federal withholding tax, any other applicable withholding agent, is required to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined below) from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower or Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01(a)), each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or, in the case of U.S. federal withholding tax, any other applicable withholding agent, shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or, in the case of U.S. federal withholding tax, any other applicable withholding agent, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as practicable thereafter), the Borrower or Guarantor shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a facsimile copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt has been made available to the Borrower or Guarantor. If the Borrower or Guarantor fails to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes that it is required by law to pay, when due, to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence that has been made available to the Borrower or Guarantor, the Borrower or Guarantor shall indemnify such Agent and such Lender for any

117

incremental Taxes that may become payable by such Agent or such Lender arising out of such failure.

(b) To the extent it is legally able to do so, each Agent or Lender (including an Assignee to which a Lender assigns its interest in accordance with Section 10.07) that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each a “Foreign Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which the first payment is due hereunder, an accurate, complete and original signed copy of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN certifying that it is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest to zero; (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that the income receivable pursuant to any Loan Document is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States; or (iii) if the Foreign Lender is not (A) a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a 10-percent shareholder described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code, a certificate to that effect in substantially the form of Exhibit J and an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, certifying that the Foreign Lender is not a United States person.

(c) If a payment made hereunder to a Foreign Lender would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA (as defined in Section 3.01(g) hereof) if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA, and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(d) Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, (i) promptly submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms described in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 3.01, or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available to secure an exemption from or reduction in the rate of U.S. federal withholding tax (A) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (B) after the occurrence of a change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (C) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (ii) promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

118

(e) Each Agent or Lender that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code) (each a “U.S. Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent an accurate, complete and original signed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor form certifying that such Agent or Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding tax (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the Agent’s or Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(f) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if a Foreign Lender is subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate in excess of zero percent at the time such Lender or such Agent first becomes a party to this Agreement, such U.S. federal withholding tax (including additions to tax, penalties and interest imposed with respect to such U.S. federal withholding tax) shall be considered excluded from Taxes except to the extent the Foreign Lender’s assignor was entitled to additional amounts or indemnity payments prior to the assignment. Further, the Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender or such Agent becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement) solely as a result of a change in the place of organization or place of doing business of such Lender or Agent or a change in the Lending Office of such Lender (other than at the written request of the Borrower to change such Lending Office).

(g) Notwithstanding anything else herein, the Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, for or on an account of any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as of the date hereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any agreements with governmental authorities implementing such provisions) and any amended or successor provisions that are substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with (including any implementing regulations or other administrative or judicial guidance that may be issued with respect thereto) (“FATCA”). Any such tax (including additions to tax, penalties and interest imposed with respect to such U.S. federal withholding tax) shall be considered excluded from Taxes.

(h) The Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (including additions to tax, penalties and interest related thereto) excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from an Assignment and Assumption, grant of a Participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(h) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

119

(i) If any Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted against any Agent or Lender with respect to any payment received by such Agent or Lender in respect of any Loan Document, such Agent or Lender may pay such Taxes or Other Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts so that each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes or Other Taxes been asserted whether or not such Taxes or other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Payments under this Section 3.01(i) shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Borrower receives written demand for payment from such Agent or Lender.

(j) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

(k) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall use its reasonable best efforts to receive such refund and upon receipt of any such refund shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund plus any interest included in such refund by the relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to the Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential in its reasonable discretion). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or make available its tax returns or any other information it reasonably deems confidential or require any Lender to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remission or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(l) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or (h) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to mitigate the effect of any such event, including by designating another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event and by completing and delivering or filing any tax related forms which would reduce or eliminate any amount of Taxes or Other Taxes required to be deducted or withheld or paid by the Borrower; provided that such efforts are made at the Borrower’s expense and on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(j) shall affect or postpone

120

any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (f).

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

SECTION 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the applicable Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue any affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to such Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all then outstanding affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 3.05. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that by reason of any changes affecting the applicable interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or that the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that deposits are not being offered to banks in the relevant interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, in each case due to circumstances arising on or after the date hereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain any affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

121

SECTION 3.04. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01, or which would have been so covered but for an exclusion included therein, (ii) the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any taxes payable by such Lender, (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c) and (iv) the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost) does not represent the cost to such Lender of complying with the requirements of any applicable Law in relation to its making, funding or maintaining of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. At any time when any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in this Section 3.04(a), the Borrower may either (i) if the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower receives any such demand from such Lender or (ii) if the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loan is then outstanding and is denominated in Dollars, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurocurrency Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, if applicable.

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

(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding

122

of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.

(d) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.04(d) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b), (c) or (d).

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Lender or L/C Issuer shall demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction pursuant to this Section 3.04 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender or L/C Issuer to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements.

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

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

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

including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

SECTION 3.06. Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a) Any Agent or Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to

123

it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

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

SECTION 3.07. Replacement of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

(a) If at any time (i) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) only) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (iii) above, all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver or amendment) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents. No such replacement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

124

(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent (or a lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu thereof). Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, (B) the assignee Lender shall purchase, at par, all Loans, accrued and unpaid interest, accrued and unpaid fees and other amounts owing to the assigning Lender as of the date of replacement and (C) upon such payment (regardless of whether such replaced Lender has executed an Assignment and Assumption or delivered its Notes to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time when it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to each such outstanding Letter of Credit and the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09.

(d) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.07 may only be utilized with respect to a Non-Consenting Lender in respect of any amendment to this Agreement in connection with any Repricing Transaction if such Non-Consenting Lender is paid a Repricing Premium with respect to such Lender’s Dollar Term B-1 Loans or Euro Term B-1 Loans, as the case may be, required to be assigned pursuant to this Section 3.07.

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

The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.08); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

SECTION 6.03. Notices. Promptly after a Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge thereof, notify the Administrative Agent:

SECTION 6.04. Payment of Obligations. Timely pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy, as the same shall become due and payable, all of its obligations and liabilities in respect of taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property, except, in each case, to the extent (i) any such tax, assessment, charge or levy is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP or (ii) the failure to pay or discharge the same would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 6.05. Preservation of Existence, Etc. (a) Preserve, renew and maintain in full force and effect its legal existence under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and (b) take all reasonable action to maintain all corporate rights and privileges (including its good standing) except, in the case of (a) or (b), to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or pursuant to a transaction permitted by Article VII.

SECTION 6.06. Maintenance of Properties. Except if the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, maintain, preserve and protect all of its material properties and equipment necessary in the operation of its business in good working order, repair and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and casualty or condemnation excepted and consistent with past practice.

If any portion of any Mortgaged Property is at any time located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency) as a special flood hazard

138

area with respect to which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (as now or hereafter in effect or successor act thereto), then the Borrower shall, or shall cause each Loan Party to (i) maintain, or cause to be maintained, with a financially sound and reputable insurer, flood insurance in an amount and otherwise sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Flood Insurance Laws and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such compliance in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall give the Borrower the opportunity to participate in any discussions with the Borrower’s independent public accountants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.10, none of the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter that (i) constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives or contractors) is prohibited by Law or any binding agreement or (iii) is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product.

provided that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the Commitments of each Lender and any obligation of the L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

SECTION 8.03. Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth

170

in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, the Swap Termination Value under Secured Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Obligations, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuers, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit;

Sixth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no Obligations remain outstanding, to the Borrower.

ARTICLE IX

Administrative Agent and Other Agents

SECTION 9.01. Appointment and Authorization of the Administrative Agent.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX (other than Sections 9.09 and 9.11) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as third party beneficiary of any such provision. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), L/C Issuer (if applicable) and a potential Hedge Bank and/or Cash Management Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the

172

Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX (including Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto (including the Intercreditor Agreements), as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by any Agent shall bind the Lenders.

SECTION 9.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact including for the purpose of any Borrowing or payment in Alternative Currencies, such sub-agents as shall be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

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

SECTION 9.04. Reliance by the Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and

173

upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law.

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

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

SECTION 9.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to

174

extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

SECTION 9.07. Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent and each other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent) (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.08. Agents in Their Individual Capacities. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though such Agent were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or

175

consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include each Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 9.09. Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents or (b) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.09). After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

176

(b) Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by Bank of America, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer effectively to assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(c) If at any time the Administrative Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, then the Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent after the Administrative Agent has become a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, require such Administrative Agent to resign pursuant to Section 9.09(a), and a successor agent shall be appointed in accordance with Section 9.09(a), with the written consent of the Required Lenders. Any Loans or Commitments held by such Administrative Agent shall be assigned in accordance with Section 3.07.

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

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

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

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

177

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

SECTION 9.11. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably agree (if then in effect, subject to the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement):

(a) that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and any other obligation (including a guarantee that is contingent in nature), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries, (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below;

(b) to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i);

(c) that any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty if (i) in the case of any Subsidiary, such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder or (ii) in the case of Holdings, as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of the Senior Interim Loan Facility, the Senior Subordinated Interim Loan Facility, the Senior Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Exchange Notes or any other Junior Financing; and

(d) if any Guarantor shall cease to be a Material Subsidiary (as certified in writing by a Responsible Officer) and the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that it wishes such Guarantor to be released from its obligations under the Guaranty, (i) such Subsidiary shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty and (ii) any Liens granted by such Subsidiary or Liens on the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary shall be automatically released; provided that no such release shall occur if such Subsidiary continues to be a guarantor in respect of the Senior Interim Loan Facility, the Senior Subordinated Interim Loan Facility, the Senior Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Exchange Notes or any other Junior Financing.

178

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent will promptly (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11.

SECTION 9.12. Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. Except as expressly provided herein, none of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “joint bookrunner” or “joint lead arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons identified in the first sentence of this Section 9.12 shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons identified in the first sentence of this Section 9.12 in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

SECTION 9.13. Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.

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

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents

179

and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.

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

SECTION 9.14. Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement, and the parties hereto acknowledge that the Intercreditor Agreements are binding upon them. Each Lender (a) hereby consents to the subordination of the Liens on the Current Assets Collateral securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, (b) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements and (c) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreements and to subject the Liens on the Current Assets Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the First Lien Secured Parties (as such term is defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) to extend credit to the Borrower and such First Lien Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(d) change any provision of this Section 10.01, the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” or any provision of Section 2.05(b)(v)(Y), 2.06(c), 2.13 or 8.03 without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification; and (v) the consent of Required Facility Lenders shall be required with respect to any amendment that by its terms adversely affects the rights of Lenders under such Facility in respect of payments hereunder in a manner different than such amendment affects other Facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders).

No amendment or waiver of any provision of any Intercreditor Agreement shall be effective unless consented to in writing by the Required Lenders, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

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

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with replacement term loans (“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Rate with respect to such Replacement Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Replacement Term Loans) shall not be higher than the Applicable Rate for such Refinanced Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans) immediately prior to such refinancing, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the Term Loans) and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.01, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may

182

be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.02. Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies.

All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

(d) The Platform and any electronic communications are provided “as is” and “as available.” None of the Agent-Related Persons warrant the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Platform or any electronic communications and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and any electronic communication.

SECTION 10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

SECTION 10.04. Attorney Costs and Expenses.

The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid promptly following receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

184

SECTION 10.05. Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each other Agent and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, members, employees, agents, trustees or advisors (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), or (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability arising out of the activities or operations of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, member, employee or agent of such Indemnitee or (y) a breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee or agent of such Indemnitee, as determined by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any applicable law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within 20 Business Days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this

185

Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

SECTION 10.06. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

SECTION 10.07. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Holdings nor the Borrower may, except as permitted by Section 7.04, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Sections 10.07(g) and 10.07(i) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood that the Borrower shall have the right to withhold its consent if the Borrower would be required to obtain the consent of, or make a filing or registration with, a Governmental Agency) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for (i) an assignment of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved

186

Fund or (ii) if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, any Assignee;

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to the Holdings, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, in each case in accordance with the last paragraph of this clause (b), another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(C) solely in the case of any assignment under any Revolving Credit Facility under which such Person is an L/C Issuer, each Principal L/C Issuer at the time of such assignment; and

(D) in the case of any assignment of any of the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, the Swing Line Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (x) a Dollar Amount of $5,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facilities), (y) $1,000,000 (in the case of a Dollar Term Loan) or (z) €1,000,000 (in the case of a Euro Term Loan) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

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

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

(D) the Assignee shall comply with Sections 3.01(b) through (e), as applicable.

187

This paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes of Loans or Commitments on a non-pro rata basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of any Term Loans of any Class to the Borrower, Holdings or any Subsidiary (a “Purchasing Borrower Party”), in each case, on a non-pro rata basis through either (x) individually negotiated transactions or (y) “Dutch auction” procedures open to all applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans of such Class in accordance with customary procedures to be agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or other applicable agent managing such auction it being understood the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to manage any such auction); provided that (A) in each of the case of clauses (x) and (y) (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, (ii) no proceeds of Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans are used to fund any such purchase, (iii) such Term Loans are immediately cancelled upon acquisition and (iv) the Purchasing Borrower Party complies with customary procedures relating to the treatment of material non-public information reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of individually negotiated transactions, the assignee identifies itself as a Purchasing Borrower Party in the applicable Assignment and Assumption).

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

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the

188

Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 (subject to the requirements of Section 3.01(b) and (d) or Section 3.01(e), as applicable), 3.04 and 3.05 (through the applicable Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. If a Lender (or any of its registered assigns) sells a participation pursuant to this Section 10.07(e), the Lender (or its registered assign, as the case may be), acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest under this Agreement or any Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that such Lender (or its registered assign, as the case may be) shall have no 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 (or the registered assign, as the case may be) 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.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant.

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure

189

obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, respectively; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender shall have identified, in consultation with the Borrower, a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer or Swing

190

Line Lender, as applicable. In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If the Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).

SECTION 10.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information in accordance with such Agent’s or Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, and to not use or disclose such information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement to be bound by provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), counterparty to a swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its Obligations, Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; (h) to any Governmental Authority, examiner or self-regulatory authority (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; (i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender); or (j) in connection with the administration of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or its Affiliates or its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors or agents, relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their subsidiaries or its business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to

191

disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential or (ii) is delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 hereof.

SECTION 10.09. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender or its Affiliates and no L/C Issuer or its Affiliates shall have a right to set off and apply any deposits held or other Indebtedness owing by such Lender or its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer or its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary of a Loan Party which is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code unless such Subsidiary is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of Holdings. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have.

SECTION 10.10. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 10.11. Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all

192

of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier.

SECTION 10.12. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. With the exception of those terms contained in that certain amended and restated commitment letter among Holdings, the Agents and the other parties thereto which by the terms thereof remain in full force and effect, all of the Arrangers’ and their respective Affiliates’ obligations thereunder in respect of the Facilities shall terminate and be superseded by this Agreement and the Loan Documents and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates shall be released from all liability in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any claim for injury or damages, whether consequential, special, direct, indirect, punitive or otherwise.

SECTION 10.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

SECTION 10.14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.15. GOVERNING LAW.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN).

193

STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER, HOLDINGS, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS (EXCEPT THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL PROHIBIT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER FROM ENFORCING ANY LOAN DOCUMENT IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH ANY LOAN PARTY IS ORGANIZED OR ANY COLLATERAL IS LOCATED). TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE BORROWER, HOLDINGS, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.

If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).

REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO ANY INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF ANY INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NO AGENT (AND NONE OF ITS AFFILIATES) MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN ANY INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

196

with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Agents and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ, and may conflict with, from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Agents or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Agents and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and Holdings and the Borrower have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate.

LIEN PRIORITY

Section 2.1 Priority of Liens.

(a) Notwithstanding (i) the date, time, method, manner, or order of grant, attachment, or perfection of any Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties in respect of all or any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral or of any Liens granted to the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Parties in respect of all or any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral, and regardless of how any such Lien was acquired (whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise), (ii) the order or time of filing or recordation of any document or instrument for perfecting the Liens in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent or the CF Collateral Agent (or the ABL Secured Parties or the CF Secured Parties) on any Intercreditor Collateral, (iii) any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, or of any of the ABL Documents or any of the CF Documents, or (iv) whether the ABL Collateral Agent or the CF Collateral Agent, in each case, either directly or through agents, holds possession of, or has control over, all or any part of the Intercreditor Collateral, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, and the CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself the CF Secured Parties, hereby agree that:

(1) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party that secures all or any portion of the CF Obligations shall in all respects be junior and subordinate to all Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties on the Intercreditor Collateral; and

(2) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party that secures all or any portion of the ABL Obligations shall in all respects be senior and prior to all Liens granted to the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party on the Intercreditor Collateral.

The CF Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each applicable CF Secured Party, expressly agrees that any Lien purported to be granted on any Intercreditor Collateral as security for the ABL Obligations shall be deemed to be and shall be deemed to remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Intercreditor Collateral securing any CF Obligations for all purposes regardless of whether the Lien purported to be granted is found to be improperly granted, improperly perfected, preferential, a fraudulent conveyance or legally or otherwise deficient in any manner.

(b) The ABL Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, concurrently herewith, the CF Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and the CF Secured Parties, has been granted Liens upon all of the Intercreditor Collateral in which the ABL Collateral Agent has been granted Liens and the ABL Collateral Agent hereby consents thereto. The subordination of Liens by the CF Collateral Agent in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent as set forth herein shall not be deemed to subordinate the Liens of the CF Collateral Agent or the CF Secured Parties to Liens securing any other Obligations other than the ABL Obligations.

Section 2.2 Waiver of Right to Contest Liens.

(a) The CF Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) take any action to contest or challenge (or assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging), directly or indirectly, whether or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, priority, enforceability, or perfection of the Liens of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties in respect of Intercreditor Collateral or the provisions of this Agreement. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement, the CF Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the CF Secured Parties, agrees that it will not take any action that would interfere with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies undertaken by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party under the ABL Documents with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement, the CF Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the CF Secured Parties, hereby waives any and all rights it may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to contest, protest, object to, or interfere with the manner in which the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party seeks to enforce its Liens in any Intercreditor Collateral.

(b) The ABL Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that it and they shall not (and hereby waives any right to) take any action to contest or challenge (or assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging), directly or indirectly, whether or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, priority, enforceability, or perfection of the respective Liens of the CF Collateral Agent or the CF Secured Parties in respect of the Intercreditor Collateral or the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 2.3 Remedies Standstill

(a) The CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, agrees that, from the date hereof until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, neither the CF Collateral Agent nor any CF Secured Party will Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any Intercreditor Collateral without the prior written consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, and will not take, receive or accept any Proceeds of Intercreditor Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 4.1(b), upon the occurrence of the CF Enforcement Date, the CF Collateral Agent acting on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties may exercise such remedies without such prior written consent of the ABL Collateral Agent. From and after the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred (or prior thereto upon the occurrence of the CF Enforcement Date), the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party may Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies under the CF Documents or applicable law as to any Intercreditor Collateral.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent any Collateral Agent or any Secured Party from (i) filing a claim or statement of interest with respect to the ABL Obligations or CF Obligations owed to it in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against any Grantor, (ii) taking any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens of the other Collateral Agent or other Secured Parties on the Intercreditor Collateral in which such other Collateral Agent or other Secured Parties has a priority Lien or the rights of the other Collateral Agent or any of the other Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create,

perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its Lien on any Intercreditor Collateral, (iii) filing any necessary or responsive pleadings in opposition to any motion, adversary proceeding or other pleading filed by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking disallowance of the claim or Lien of such Collateral Agent or Secured Party, (iv) filing any pleadings, objections, motions, or agreements which assert rights available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under any Insolvency Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, (v) voting on any plan of reorganization or file any proof of claim in any Insolvency Proceeding of any Grantor, or (vi) objecting to the proposed retention of collateral by the other Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in full or partial satisfaction of any ABL Obligations or CF Obligations due to the other Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party, in each case (i) through (vi) above to the extent not inconsistent with, or could not result in a resolution inconsistent with, the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Subject to Section 2.3(b), (i) the CF Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the CF Secured Parties, agrees that neither it nor any CF Secured Party will take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of Intercreditor Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) the CF Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the CF Secured Parties, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such CF Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the ABL Obligations or the Liens granted in any of the Intercreditor Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or ABL Secured Parties is adverse to the interests of the CF Secured Parties.

(d) The CF Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the CF Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any CF Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the ABL Documents.

(e) Subject to the Section 2.3(b), the CF Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the CF Secured Parties, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Collateral Agent upon the request thereof) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Intercreditor Collateral.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, clauses (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 2.3 shall not apply to the CF Collateral Agent or the CF Secured Parties from and after the occurrence of the CF Enforcement Date.

Section 2.4 Exercise of Rights.

(a) No Other Restrictions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 2.1(a), Section 2.2(a), Section 2.3, Section 3.5 and Article 6 of this Agreement, the CF Collateral Agent and each CF Secured Party may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor and as a secured creditor with respect to the Non-Intercreditor Collateral against the

Company or any Subsidiary that has guaranteed the CF Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable CF Documents and applicable laws. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party of the required payments of interest and principal so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Intercreditor Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien on the Intercreditor Collateral in respect of CF Obligations held by any of them or in any Insolvency Proceeding. In the event the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor or other secured creditor in respect of Intercreditor Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of CF Obligations or otherwise, such judgment or other Lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing ABL Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the CF Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing ABL Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties may have with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral. Furthermore, subject to Section 3.3 hereof, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict any right any CF Secured Party may have (secured or otherwise) in any property or asset of any Grantor that does not constitute Intercreditor Collateral.

(b) Release of Liens.

If, at any time any Grantor or any ABL Secured Party delivers notice to the CF Collateral Agent with respect to any specified Intercreditor Collateral that:

(A) such specified Intercreditor Collateral is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (a “Disposition”) by the owner of such Intercreditor Collateral in a transaction permitted under the ABL Credit Agreement and the CF Credit Agreement; or

(B) the ABL Secured Parties are releasing or have released their Liens on such Intercreditor Collateral in connection with a Disposition in connection with an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to such Intercreditor Collateral,

then the Liens upon such Intercreditor Collateral securing CF Obligations will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens on such Intercreditor Collateral securing ABL Obligations are released and discharged (provided that in the case of clause (B) of this Section 2.4(b), the Liens on any Intercreditor Collateral disposed of in connection with an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies shall be automatically released but any proceeds thereof not applied to repay ABL Obligations shall be subject to the respective Liens securing CF Obligations and shall be applied pursuant to Section 4.1). Upon delivery to the CF Collateral Agent of a notice from the ABL Collateral Agent stating that any such release of Liens securing or supporting the ABL Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective upon the CF Collateral Agent), the CF Collateral Agent shall, at the Company’s expense, promptly execute and deliver such instruments, releases, termination statements or other documents confirming such release on customary terms, which instruments, releases and termination statements shall be substantially identical to the comparable instruments, releases and termination statements executed by the ABL Collateral Agent in connection with such release. The CF Collateral Agent hereby appoints the ABL Collateral Agent and any officer or duly authorized

person of the ABL Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of the CF Collateral Agent and in the name of the CF Collateral Agent or in the ABL Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time, in the ABL Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this paragraph, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this paragraph, including any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).

Section 2.5 No New Liens.

Until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, the parties hereto agree that no CF Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any accounts receivable or inventory of any Grantor, the proceeds thereof or any deposit or other accounts of any Grantor in which accounts receivable or proceeds of inventory or accounts receivable are held or deposited, in each case of the type that would constitute Intercreditor Collateral as described in the definition thereof, whether in the form of accounts receivable, inventory or otherwise), securing any CF Obligation, if such accounts receivable, inventory or proceeds are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Collateral Agent under the ABL Documents (and subject to the Lien Priorities contemplated herein). If any CF Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any such accounts receivable, inventory or proceeds securing any CF Obligation, which accounts receivable, inventory or proceeds are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Collateral Agent under the ABL Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein, then the CF Collateral Agent (or the applicable CF Secured Party) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other CF Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other CF Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien as agent or bailee for the benefit of the ABL Collateral Agent as security for the ABL Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms hereof) and shall use its best efforts to promptly notify the ABL Collateral Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien.

Section 2.6 Waiver of Marshalling.

Until the Discharge of the ABL Obligations, the CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

ARTICLE 3

ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES

Section 3.1 Certain Actions Permitted. The CF Collateral Agent and the ABL Collateral Agent may make such demands or file such claims in respect of the CF Obligations or the ABL Obligations, as applicable, as are necessary to prevent the waiver or bar of such claims under applicable statutes of limitations or other statutes, court orders, or rules of procedure at any

time. Except as provided in Section 5.2, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the CF Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral (including set-off with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them on the Intercreditor Collateral.

Section 3.2 Agent for Perfection. The CF Collateral Agent appoints the ABL Collateral Agent, and the ABL Collateral Agent expressly accepts such appointment, to act as agent of the CF Collateral Agent and each CF Secured Party under each control agreement with respect to all ABL Controlled Accounts for the purpose of perfecting the respective security interests granted under the CF Security Documents. None of the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party, as applicable, shall have any obligation whatsoever to the others to assure that the Intercreditor Collateral is genuine or owned by the Company, any Grantor or any other Person or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person. The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Collateral Agent under this Section 3.2 are and shall be limited solely to holding or maintaining control of the Intercreditor Collateral as agent for the CF Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting the respective Liens held by the CF Secured Parties. The ABL Collateral Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party, or any other Person. The CF Collateral Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for any other Agent or Secured Party, or any other Person. Prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, in the event that the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party receives any Intercreditor Collateral or Proceeds of Intercreditor Collateral in violation of the terms of this Agreement, then the CF Collateral Agent or such CF Secured Party, as the case may be, shall promptly pay over such Proceeds or Intercreditor Collateral to the ABL Collateral Agent in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, for application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 of this Agreement.

Section 3.3 Inspection and Access Rights. Without limiting any rights the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Secured Party may otherwise have under applicable law or by agreement, in the event of any liquidation of any Intercreditor Collateral (or any other Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by the ABL Collateral Agent) and whether or not the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party has commenced and is continuing to Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies of any CF Secured Party, the ABL Collateral Agent shall have the right (a) during normal business hours on any business day, to access Intercreditor Collateral that is stored or located in or on Non-Intercreditor Collateral, and (b) shall have the right to reasonably use the Non-Intercreditor Collateral (including, without limitation, equipment, computers, software, intellectual property, real property and books and records) in order to inspect, copy or download information stored on, take actions to perfect its Lien on, or otherwise deal with the Intercreditor Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or interference by the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party and without liability to any CF Secured Party; provided, however, if the CF Collateral Agent takes actual possession of any Non-Intercreditor Collateral in contemplation of a sale of such Non-Intercreditor Collateral or is otherwise exercising a remedy with respect to Non-Intercreditor Collateral, the Non-Intercreditor Collateral Agent shall give the ABL Collateral Agent reasonable opportunity

(of reasonable duration and with reasonable advance notice) prior to the CF Collateral Agent’s sale of any such Non-Intercreditor Collateral to access Intercreditor Collateral as contemplated in (a) and (b) above. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.3 governs the rights of access and inspection as between the ABL Secured Parties on the one hand and the CF Secured Parties on the other (and not as between the Secured Parties and the Grantors, which rights are set forth in and governed by the applicable Credit Documents and are not affected by this Section 3.3).

Section 3.4 Insurance. Proceeds of Intercreditor Collateral include insurance proceeds and, therefore, the Lien Priority shall govern the ultimate disposition of insurance proceeds to the extent such insurance insures Intercreditor Collateral. Prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the CF Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by the ABL Documents and subject to the rights of the Grantors thereunder, to adjust settlement of insurance claims to the extent such insurance insures Intercreditor Collateral in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of Intercreditor Collateral. Prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, all proceeds of such insurance with respect to Intercreditor Collateral shall be remitted for application in accordance Section 4.1 hereof.

Section 3.5 Exercise of Remedies – Set-Off and Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. The CF Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the CF Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party exercises its rights of set-off against any Grantor’s Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts to the extent constituting or containing Intercreditor Collateral or proceeds thereof, the amount of such set-off shall be deemed to be Intercreditor Collateral to be held and distributed pursuant to Section 4.1. In addition, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations occurs, the CF Collateral Agent and each CF Secured Party hereby consents to the application, of cash or other proceeds of Intercreditor Collateral, deposited under control agreements to the repayment of ABL Obligations pursuant to the ABL Documents.

The CF Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) the ABL Credit Agreement includes a revolving commitment, that in the ordinary course of business the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties will apply payments and make advances thereunder, and that no application of any Intercreditor Collateral or the release of any Lien by the ABL Collateral Agent upon any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral in connection with a permitted disposition by the Grantors under the ABL Credit Agreement shall constitute an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies under this Agreement; (ii) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.03(t) of the CF Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof) or such additional amounts as consented to by the Lenders under the CF Credit Agreement (in accordance with the provisions thereof), the amount of the ABL Obligations that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the ABL Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and that the

aggregate amount of the ABL Obligations may be increased, replaced or Refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by the CF Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof; and (iii) all Intercreditor Collateral received by the ABL Collateral Agent may be applied, reversed, reapplied, credited, or reborrowed, in whole or in part, to the ABL Obligations at any time. The Lien Priority shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or Refinancing of either the ABL Obligations or any CF Obligations, or any portion thereof.

(b) Application of Proceeds of Intercreditor Collateral. The ABL Collateral Agent and the CF Collateral Agent hereby agrees that all Intercreditor Collateral and all Proceeds thereof, received by any of them in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral shall be applied, first, to the payment of costs and expenses of the ABL Collateral Agent in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies, and second, to the payment of the ABL Obligations in accordance with the ABL Documents until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred.

(c) Payments Over. Any Intercreditor Collateral or Proceeds thereof received by the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off or credit bid) or in any Insolvency Proceeding relating to the Intercreditor Collateral not expressly permitted by this Agreement or prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of and forthwith paid over to the ABL Collateral Agent (and/or its designees) for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The ABL Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the CF Collateral Agent and each CF Secured Party. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(d) Limited Obligation or Liability. In exercising remedies, whether as a secured creditor or otherwise, the ABL Collateral Agent shall have no obligation or liability to the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party regarding the adequacy of any proceeds realized on any collateral or for any action or omission, save and except solely for an action or omission that breaches the express obligations undertaken by each Party under the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Turnover of Collateral after Discharge. Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent shall (a) notify the CF Collateral Agent in writing of the occurrence of such Discharge of ABL Obligations and (b) at the Company’s expense, deliver to the CF Collateral Agent or execute such documents as the CF Collateral Agent may reasonably request (including assignment of control agreements with respect to ABL Controlled Accounts) in order to affect a transfer of control to the CF Collateral Agent over any and all ABL Controlled Accounts in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; provided, however, that the ABL Collateral Agent shall not be required hereunder to deliver such instruments or documents relating to the control

agreements with respect to ABL Collateral Agreements if, as of the time of such Discharge of ABL Obligations, no Event of Default (as defined in the CF Credit Agreement) has occurred or is then continuing. The ABL Collateral Agent shall presume that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the CF Agreement unless at the time of such Discharge of ABL Obligations the Company shall have delivered to each of the Collateral Agents an officer’s certificate executed by an Authorized Officer (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) certifying that no such Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing (and the CF Collateral Agent shall have confirmed in writing to the ABL Collateral Agent that it has no actual knowledge of the continuance of an Event of Default under the CF Credit Facility), upon which the ABL Collateral Agent may conclusively rely (it being understood that neither such officer’s certificate nor Collateral Agent’s confirmation will effect whether or not such Event of Default has in fact occurred or is then in fact continuing).

Section 4.2 Specific Performance. Each of the ABL Collateral Agent and the CF Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or not the Company or any Grantor shall have complied with any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, at any time when the other Party shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it. Each of the ABL Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, and the CF Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

INTERCREDITOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND WAIVERS

Section 5.1 Notice of Acceptance and Other Waivers.

(a) All ABL Obligations at any time made or incurred by the Company or any Grantor shall be deemed to have been made or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement, and the CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, hereby waives notice of acceptance, or proof of reliance by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party of this Agreement, and notice of the existence, increase, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or non-payment of all or any part of the ABL Obligations. All CF Obligations at any time made or incurred by the Company or any Grantor shall be deemed to have been made or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement, and the CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, hereby waives notice of acceptance, or proof of reliance, by the CF Collateral Agent or such CF Secured Party of this Agreement, and notice of the existence, increase, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or non-payment of all or any part of the CF Obligations.

(b) None of the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Intercreditor Collateral or any Proceeds therof, or for any delay in doing so, or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Intercreditor Collateral or Proceeds thereof or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Intercreditor Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. If the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party honors (or fails to honor) a request by any Borrower under the ABL Credit Agreement for an extension of credit pursuant to

any ABL Credit Agreement or any of the other ABL Documents, whether the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms of any CF Document (but not a default under this Agreement) or an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, or if the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party otherwise should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under any ABL Documents (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), neither the ABL Collateral Agent nor any ABL Secured Party shall have any liability whatsoever to the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party as a result of such action, omission, or exercise (so long as any such exercise does not breach the express terms and provisions of this Agreement). The ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall be entitled to manage and supervise their loans and extensions of credit under any ABL Credit Agreement and any of the other ABL Documents as they may, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party have in the Intercreditor Collateral, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. The CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, agrees that neither the ABL Collateral Agent nor any ABL Secured Party shall incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, application, or other disposition of all or any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral or Proceeds thereof, pursuant to the ABL Documents, so long as such disposition is conducted in accordance with mandatory provisions of applicable law and does not breach the provisions of this Agreement. The CF Collateral Agent and the CF Secured Parties shall be entitled to manage and supervise their loans and extensions of credit under the CF Documents as they may, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests of the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Parties, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Section 5.2 Modifications to ABL Documents and CF Documents.

(a) In the event that the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any of the ABL Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any ABL Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the ABL Collateral Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder (excluding the release of any Liens in Intercreditor Collateral except in accordance with Section 2.4(b)), then such amendment, waiver or consent, to the extent related to Intercreditor Collateral, shall apply automatically to any comparable provision (but only to the extent as such provision relates to Intercreditor Collateral) of each Comparable CF Security Document without the consent of the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party and without any action by the CF Collateral Agent, CF Secured Party, the Company or any other Grantor; provided, however, that such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely affect the rights of the CF Secured Parties or the interests of the CF Secured Parties in the Intercreditor Collateral in a manner materially different from that affecting the rights of the ABL Secured Parties thereunder or therein. The ABL Collateral Agent shall give written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent (along with a copy thereof) to the CF Collateral Agent; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment with respect to the provisions of any CF Security Document as set forth in this Section 5.2(a). For the avoidance of doubt, no such amendment, modification or waiver shall apply to or otherwise affect (a) any

Non-Intercreditor Collateral or (b) any document, agreement or instrument which neither grants nor purports to xxxxx x Xxxx on, nor governs nor purports to govern any rights or remedies in respect of, Intercreditor Collateral.

(b) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, without the prior written consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, the CF Collateral Agent shall not consent to amend, supplement or otherwise modify any, or enter into any new, CF Security Document relating to Intercreditor Collateral to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of such new CF Security Document, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. The CF Collateral Agent agrees that each CF Security Document relating to Intercreditor Collateral shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the ABL Collateral Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests granted to Bank of America, N.A. pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by Bank of America, N.A. hereunder are subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of [ ], 20[ ] (as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ABL Intercreditor Agreement”), among [ ], as ABL Collateral Agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as CF Collateral Agent, certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time, and consented to by the Grantors identified therein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

(c) No consent furnished by the ABL Collateral Agent or the CF Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or 5.2(b) hereof shall be deemed to constitute the modification or waiver of any provisions of the ABL Documents or any of the CF Documents, each of which remain in full force and effect as written.

(d) The ABL Obligations and the several CF Obligations may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is required to permit the refinancing transaction under any ABL Document or any CF Document) of the ABL Collateral Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Parties, as the case may be, provided such Refinancing does not affect the relative Lien Priorities provided for herein or directly alter the other provisions hereof to the extent relating to the relative rights, obligations and priorities of the ABL Secured Parties on the one hand and the CF Secured Parties on the other.

Section 5.3 Reinstatement and Continuation of Agreement.

If the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Company, any Grantor, or any other Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of the ABL Obligations (an “ABL Recovery”), then the ABL Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such ABL Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such ABL Recovery,

this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect in the event of such ABL Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement. The ABL Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give written notice to the CF Collateral Agent of the occurrence of any such ABL Recovery (provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the ABL Collateral Agents rights hereunder, except it being understood that the CF Collateral Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of such ABL Recovery or required to take any actions based on such ABL Recovery until it has received such written notice of the occurrence of such ABL Recovery).

All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the ABL Collateral Agent, the CF Collateral Agent, the ABL Secured Parties and the CF Secured Parties under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or against the Company or any Grantor or any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense (other than a defense that such obligations have in-fact been repaid) available to, or a discharge of the Company or any Grantor in respect of the ABL Obligations or the CF Obligations. No priority or right of the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or any Grantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of the ABL Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party may have.

ARTICLE 6

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS

Section 6.1 DIP Financing.

(a) If the Company or any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, and the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties shall seek to provide the Company or any Grantor with, or consent to a third party providing, any financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or consent to any order for the use of cash collateral constituting Intercreditor Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (each, a “DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code would be Intercreditor Collateral) but not any other asset or any Non-Intercreditor Collateral, then the CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the CF Collateral Agent securing the CF Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral that is Intercreditor Collateral, except as permitted by Section 6.3(b)), so long as (i) the CF Collateral Agent retains its Lien on the Intercreditor Collateral to secure the CF Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code), (ii) the terms of the DIP Financing do not compel the applicable Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms of such plan are set forth in the DIP Financing

documentation or related document; and (iii) all Liens on Intercreditor Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties securing the ABL Obligations on Intercreditor Collateral; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party from raising any objection or supporting any objection to such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the CF Collateral Agent on Non-Intercreditor Collateral securing the CF Obligations.

(b) All Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent or the CF Collateral Agent in any Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 6.2 Relief from Stay. The CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral without the ABL Collateral Agent’s express written consent.

Section 6.3 No Contest; Adequate Protection.

(a) The CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not contest (or support any other Person contesting) (x) any request by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party for adequate protection of its interest in the Intercreditor Collateral, (y) any objection by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party that its interests in the Intercreditor Collateral are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement or (z) any lawful exercise by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party of the right to credit bid ABL Obligations at any sale of Intercreditor Collateral or Intercreditor Collateral; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party from contesting or challenging (or support any other Person contesting or challenging) any request by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party for “adequate protection” (or the grant of any such “adequate protection”) to the extent such “adequate protection” is in the form of a Lien on any Non-Intercreditor Collateral.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency Proceeding, if the ABL Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with respect to Intercreditor Collateral in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Intercreditor Collateral (unless such additional collateral is an asset of an ABL Entity)), then the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that the CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and/or any of the CF Secured Parties, may seek or request (and the ABL Secured Parties will not oppose such request) adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Intercreditor Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to

the Liens securing the ABL Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens of the CF Collateral Agent on the Intercreditor Collateral (it being understood that to the extent that any such additional collateral constituted Non-Intercreditor Collateral at the time it was granted to the ABL Secured Parties, the Lien thereon in favor of the ABL Secured Parties shall be subordinate in all respects to the Liens thereon in favor of the CF Secured Parties).

Section 6.4 Asset Sales. The CF Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the ABL Collateral Agent of any Intercreditor Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding) so long as the proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 6.5 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The CF Collateral Agent, each CF Secured Party, each ABL Secured Party and the ABL Collateral Agent each acknowledge and agree that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security Documents on the one hand and the CF Security Documents on the other hand constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and the CF Secured Parties’ claims against the Company and/or any Grantor in respect of Intercreditor Collateral constitute junior claims separate and apart (and of a different class) from the senior claims of the ABL Secured Parties against the Company and the Grantors in respect of Intercreditor Collateral and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Intercreditor Collateral, the CF Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties and any CF Secured Parties in respect of the Intercreditor Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Secured Parties and the CF Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions in respect of or from the Proceeds of Intercreditor Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligation claims and CF Obligation claims against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Intercreditor Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the CF Secured Parties), the ABL Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest at the relevant contract rate, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the CF Secured Parties from such Intercreditor Collateral, with the CF Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the ABL Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them in respect of or from the Proceeds of Intercreditor Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.

Section 6.6 Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 6.7 ABL Obligations and CF Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties, and the CF Collateral Agent and the CF Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any ABL Documents or any CF Documents;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the ABL Obligations or CF Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement or any other ABL Document or of the terms of the CF Credit Agreement or any other CF Document;

(c) any exchange of any security interest in any Intercreditor Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the ABL Obligations or CF Obligations or any guarantee thereof;

(d) the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Company or any other Grantor; or

(e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense (other than a defense that such obligations have in-fact been repaid) available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any other Grantor in respect of ABL Obligations or CF Obligations in respect of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 7

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1 Rights of Subrogation. The CF Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, agrees that no payment to the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party may reasonably request, at the Company’s expense, to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the ABL Obligations resulting from payments to the ABL Collateral Agent by such Person.

Section 7.2 Further Assurances. The Parties will, at their own expense and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that any Party may reasonably request, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the ABL Collateral Agent or the CF Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to pay over any payment or distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action referred to in this Section 7.2, to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or other legal requirement or any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and in the event of a controversy or dispute, such Party may interplead any payment or distribution in any court of competent jurisdiction, without further responsibility in respect of such payment or distribution under this Section 7.2.

The CF Collateral Agent represents and warrants for itself to the ABL Collateral Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the CF Documents to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties and that this Agreement shall be binding obligations of the CF Collateral Agent and the CF Secured Parties, enforceable against the CF Collateral Agent and CF Secured Parties in accordance with its terms. The ABL Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the CF Collateral Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the ABL Documents to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties and that this Agreement shall be binding obligations of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties, enforceable against the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties in accordance with its terms.

Section 7.4 Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Party hereto shall be effective unless it is in a written agreement executed by the CF Collateral Agent and the ABL Collateral Agent, and consented to in writing by the Company, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.4 to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended from time to time at the request of the Company, at the Company’s expense, and without the consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party to (i) provide for a replacement ABL Collateral Agent in accordance with the ABL Documents, provide for a replacement CF Collateral Agent in accordance with the applicable CF Documents (including for the avoidance of doubt to provide for a replacement CF Collateral Agent assuming such role in connection with any Refinancing of the CF Documents permitted hereunder) and/or secure additional extensions of credit or add other parties holding ABL Obligations or CF Obligations to the extent such Indebtedness does not expressly violate the ABL Credit Agreement or the CF Credit Agreement and (ii) in the case of such additional CF Obligations, (a) establish that the Lien on the Intercreditor Collateral securing such CF Obligations shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Intercreditor Collateral securing any ABL Obligations (at least to the same extent as (taken together as a whole) the Liens on Intercreditor Collateral in favor of the CF Obligations are junior and subordinate to the Liens on Intercreditor Collateral in favor of the ABL Obligations pursuant to this Agreement immediately prior to the incurrence of such additional CF Obligations) and (b) provide to the holders of such CF Obligations (or any agent or trustee thereof) the comparable rights and benefits (including any improved rights and benefits that have been consented to by the ABL Collateral Agent) as are provided to the CF Secured Parties under this Agreement.

Section 7.5 Addresses for Notices. All notices to the ABL Secured Parties and the CF Secured Parties permitted or required under this Agreement may be sent to the applicable Collateral Agent for such Secured Party, respectively, as provided in the applicable Credit Document.

Section 7.6 No Waiver, Remedies. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 7.7 Continuing Agreement, Transfer of Secured Obligations. This Agreement is a continuing agreement and shall (a) subject to Section 5.3, remain in full force and effect until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, (b) be binding upon the Parties and their successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Nothing herein is intended, or shall be construed to give, any other Person any right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Agreement or any Intercreditor Collateral.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the CF Collateral Agent and any CF Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the ABL Obligations or the CF Obligations, as applicable, to any other Person (other than the Company, any Grantor or any Affiliate of the Company or any Grantor and any Subsidiary of the Company or any Grantor), and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the rights and obligations in respect thereof granted to the ABL Collateral Agent, the CF Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, or any applicable CF Secured Party, as the case may be, herein or otherwise. The ABL Secured Parties and the CF Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the other parties hereto, to extend credit and other financial accommodations, lend monies and provide Indebtedness to, or for the benefit of, any Grantor on the faith hereof.

The ABL Collateral Agent and the CF Collateral Agent each hereby agrees that no party shall have any duty to advise any other party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event either the ABL Collateral Agent or the CF Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any information to any other party to this Agreement, (a) it shall be under no obligation (i) to provide any such information to any other party or any other party on any subsequent occasion, (ii) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, or (iii) to disclose any other information, or (b) it makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of any such information and shall not be liable for any information contained therein, and (c) the Party receiving such information hereby to hold the other Party harmless from any action the receiving Party may take or conclusion the receiving Party may reach or draw from any such information, as well as from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses to which such receiving Party may become subject arising out of or in connection with the use of such information.

CONSENT OF COMPANY AND GRANTORS

Dated: [ ], 20[ ]

Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement dated as of the date hereof between [ ], as ABL Collateral Agent and Bank of America, N.A., as CF Collateral Agent, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, waived, or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Intercreditor Agreement”).

EXHIBIT J-1

SUMMARY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE

PARI PASSU INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the same meanings as specified therefor in the Credit Agreement dated as of September 25, 2007, as amended and restated as of August 2, 2012 (as amended, restated, further amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Biomet, Inc., LVB Acquisition, Inc., Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, and each lender from time to time party thereto, to which this Exhibit J-1 is attached.


ADDITIONAL PARI PASSU DEBT:		Permitted Pari Passu Debt (other than the Obligations) permitted pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement to be secured by a pari passu Lien on all or any portion of the Collateral (the “Additional Pari Passu Debt”).

FINANCING DOCUMENTS:		The definitive documentation (including the Loan Documents) in respect of the Obligations (the “Obligations Documents”) and the definitive documentation in respect of the Additional Pari Passu Debt (the “Additional Pari Passu Debt Documents” and, together with the Obligations Documents, the “Pari Passu Debt Documents”).

CREDIT AGREEMENT SECURED PARTIES:		The Secured Parties (the “Credit Agreement Secured Parties”).

ADDITIONAL PARI PASSU SECURED PARTIES:		The agents, issuing banks, trustees, debtholders, lenders and other holders of obligations under the Additional Pari Passu Debt Documents that are entitled to the benefit of a pari passu Lien on the Collateral (the “Additional Pari Passu Secured Parties”).

PARI PASSU SECURED PARTIES:		The Credit Agreement Secured Parties and the Additional Pari Passu Secured Parties (the “Pari Passu Secured Parties”).

CREDIT AGREEMENT OBLIGATIONS:		All Obligations from time to time owed to the Credit Agreement Secured Parties under the Obligations Documents (including any post-petition interest, whether or not allowed or allowable in any insolvency proceeding) (the “Credit Agreement Obligations”).

ADDITIONAL PARI PASSU DEBT OBLIGATIONS:		All obligations of every nature of the Loan Parties from time to time owed to the Additional Pari Passu Secured Parties under the Additional Pari Passu Debt Documents (including any post-petition interest, whether or not allowed or allowable in any insolvency proceeding) (the “Additional Pari Passu Obligations”; each of the Credit Agreement


		Obligations and each separate class of Additional Pari Passu Obligations is referred to as a “Series” of Pari Passu Obligations).

PARI PASSU OBLIGATIONS		The Credit Agreement Obligations and the Additional Pari Passu Debt Obligations described above (the “Pari Passu Obligations”).

PRIORITY OF LIENS:		The Liens securing the Credit Agreement Obligations and the Liens securing the Additional Pari Passu Debt Obligations shall be of equal priority.

REMEDIES:		The Applicable Collateral Agent (as defined below), acting only on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative (as defined below), shall control all decisions related to the exercise of remedies with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral and so long as the Administrative Agent is the Applicable Collateral Agent, no Additional Pari Passu Secured Party shall seek to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral. Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens securing each Series of the Pari Passu Obligations, until the Discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations Date (as defined below), the Applicable Collateral Agent may deal with the Collateral as if the Credit Agreement Secured Parties have a Lien senior to the Additional Pari Passu Secured Parties. “Applicable Collateral Agent” means, until the earlier of (x) the Discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations Date (as defined below) and (y) the Non-Controlling Authorized Representative Enforcement Date (as defined below), the Administrative Agent, and thereafter, a collateral agent representing the Additional Pari Passu Secured Parties at such time. “Applicable Authorized Representative” means, until the earlier of (x) the Discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations Date and (y) the Non-Controlling Authorized Representative Enforcement Date, the Administrative Agent and thereafter, an authorized representative of the Series of Additional Pari Passu Debt Obligations constituting the largest outstanding principal amount of any then outstanding Series of Pari Passu Debt Obligations (such Series, the “Largest Series of Pari Passu Debt Obligations”). “Discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations Date” means the date on which the Credit Agreement Obligations are no longer secured by any of the Collateral. “Non-Controlling Authorized Representative Enforcement Date” means a period to be agreed (but in any event not less than 90 days) after the acceleration of the Largest Series of Pari Passu Debt Obligations has


		occurred; provided that such date shall be stayed and shall not occur if the Administrative Agent (1) has commenced and is diligently pursuing any enforcement action with respect to the Collateral or (2) is prohibited by applicable law, rule, regulation or order from doing so (including as a result of any insolvency or liquidation proceedings with respect to any Loan Party).

PROHIBITION ON CONTESTING LIENS:		No Pari Passu Secured Party will contest, or support any other person in contesting the priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien on Collateral held by or on behalf of any of the Pari Passu Secured Parties.

ADDITIONAL PARI PASSU DEBT OBLIGATIONS GUARANTIES AND COLLATERAL:		If for any reason, the guaranties of, or the Collateral securing, Additional Pari Passu Debt Obligations are less extensive than those guarantying or securing, as the case may be, the Credit Agreement Obligations, then (a) with regard to Collateral securing Credit Agreement Obligations only, such Collateral shall not be shared with the Additional Pari Passu Secured Parties and the provisions below under the heading “Application of Proceeds/Turnover” shall not apply to such Collateral or the proceeds thereof and (b) with regard to any amounts received by the Credit Agreement Secured Parties pursuant to the respective guaranties, such amounts shall not be shared with the Additional Pari Passu Secured Parties and the provisions below under the heading “Application of Proceeds/Turnover” shall not apply to such amounts.

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS/TURN-OVER:		The proceeds of any liquidation, foreclosure, enforcement or similar action related to the Collateral or received pursuant to any intercreditor agreement relating to the Collateral will be applied in the following order of priority: First, to pay agent fees, expenses and indemnities of the Applicable Collateral Agent and the Applicable Authorized Representative; Second, to pay agent fees, expenses and indemnitees of each other Collateral Agent and Authorized Representative, Third, on a pro rata basis, to pay the Pari Passu Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable documents relating to each Series of such Pari Passu Obligations; and Fourth, to the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Until the discharge of each Series of the Pari Passu Obligations, any Collateral or proceeds thereof received by any Pari Passu Secured Party shall be segregated and held in trust and shall be transferred to the Applicable Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Pari Passu Secured


		Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements. Notwithstanding the foregoing and in addition to the provisions described above under the heading “Additional Pari Passu Debt Obligations Guaranties and Collateral”, each Pari Passu Secured Party shall bear the risk of (x) any failure to perfect (or to create) any Liens securing its respective Pari Passu Obligations, (y) any intervening Liens created after the perfection of Liens securing prior perfected Pari Passu Obligations and before the perfection of Liens securing subsequently incurred Pari Passu Obligations and (z) any other factor that creates a priority in such Pari Passu Secured Party’s collateral position relative to creditors of the Loan Parties that are not Pari Passu Secured Parties that is less than the priority of any other Series of Pari Passu Obligations.

RELEASES:		In the event that the Applicable Collateral Agent exercises remedies against all or a portion of the Collateral resulting in a sale or disposition thereof, then Liens on such Collateral in favor of any Pari Passu Secured Party shall be automatically released.

BANKRUPTCY:		In connection with any insolvency proceeding of any Loan Party: DIP Financing: If (1) such Loan Party, as debtor-in-possession, moves for approval of debtor-in-possession financing (a “DIP Financing”) and (2) the Applicable Authorized Representative does not object to such DIP Financing, then (i) to the extent such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any Collateral for the benefit of the Pari Passu Secured Parties, each of the Non-Controlling Secured Parties (as defined below) shall subordinate its Liens with respect to such Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (as defined below) (other than any Liens of any Pari Passu Secured Party constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens of the Pari Passu Obligations on any Collateral, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Collateral, in each case so long as (A) the Pari Passu Secured Parties retain the benefit of their Liens on such Collateral pledged to the DIP Financing lenders, (B) the Pari Passu Secured Parties are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any other Pari Passu Secured Party as adequate protection or otherwise for its Pari Passu Obligations and (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing is applied to repay any of the Pari Passu Obligations or if any Pari Passu Secured Parties are granted adequate protection in connection with such DIP Financing, such amounts are applied in accordance with the terms described above under “Application of Proceeds/Turnover.” “Controlling Secured Parties” means, at any time when the Administrative Agent is the Applicable Collateral Agent, the Credit


		Agreement Secured Parties, and at any other time, the Pari Passu Secured Parties of any Series whose authorized representative is the Applicable Authorized Representative at such time. “Non-Controlling Secured Parties” means, at any time, the Pari Passu Secured Parties of each Series other than the Controlling Secured Parties at such time. Adequate Protection: no Pari Passu Secured Party receiving adequate protection shall object to any other Pari Passu Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Pari Passu Secured Party in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

RELATIONSHIP TO ABL CREDIT FACILITY AND ABL COLLATERAL		The Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement shall govern the rights of the Additional Pari Passu Secured Parties in the Current Assets Collateral in which the ABL Administrative Agent and the secured parties under the ABL Credit Agreement (the “ABL Secured Parties”) have a priority lien (the “ABL Collateral”) relative to the Credit Agreement Obligations. So long as the Credit Agreement Obligations are subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Additional Pari Passu Secured Parties (or their authorized representative) will join as a party to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement to the extent such Additional Pari Passu Secured Parties have a security interest in any such Curent Assets Collateral.

Any amendments, modifications or waivers of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement must be signed in writing by each representative of the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Secured Parties; provided that (x) each representative of the Pari Passu Secured Parties may, without the written consent of any representative of the Junior Lien Secured Parties, agree to modifications of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement for the purpose of securing additional Pari Passu Obligations and adding new creditors as Pari Passu Secured Parties and (y) additional Loan Parties may be added as parties to the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the provisions thereof without consent of any representative of the Junior Lien Secured Parties; provided further that such amendment, modification or waiver will require the Borrower’s consent if it amends, modifies or waives the rights, interests or liabilities, or directly affects the privileges of, the Borrower or any Loan Party.

DIP Financing: If the Pari Passu Secured Parties (or their respective authorized representative as provided in Exhibit J-1 to the Credit Agreement) desire to permit the sale or use of any collateral, or to permit any Loan Party to obtain debtor-in-possession financing (a “DIP Financing”), then the Junior Lien Secured Parties shall: (i) be deemed to accept and will not object or support any objection to, such sale or use or any such DIP Financing, (ii) not request or accept any form of adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith except as set forth below and (iii) to the extent any Liens are granted to secure such DIP Financing which rank pari passu or senior to the Pari Passu Obligations, subordinate their Liens to the Liens securing such DIP Financing, any adequate protection provided to the Pari Passu Secured Parties and any “carve-out” for fees agreed to by the Collateral Agent; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit the Junior Lien Secured Parties from exercising their rights to vote in favor of or against a plan of reorganization.

Sales: None of the Junior Lien Secured Parties shall oppose any sale that is supported by the Pari Passu Secured Parties (or their respective authorized representative as provided in Exhibit J-1 to the Credit Agreement), and the Junior Lien Secured Parties will be deemed to have consented to any such sale and to have released their Liens in such assets.

Adequate Protection: No Junior Lien Secured Party shall (i) contest any request by the Pari Passu Secured Parties (or their respective authorized representative as provided in Exhibit J-1 to the Credit Agreement) for adequate protection, (ii) contest any objection by the Pari Passu Secured Parties (or their respective authorized representative as provided in Exhibit J-1 to the Credit Agreement) to any motion, etc., based on the Pari Passu Secured Parties’ (or their respective authorized representative as provided in Exhibit J-1 to the Credit Agreement) claiming a lack of adequate protection, (iii) seek or accept any form of adequate protection under any of Sections 362, 363 and/or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Collateral or (iv) contest the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to any Pari Passu Secured Party (or their respective authorized representative as provided in Exhibit J-1 to the Credit Agreement).

Avoidance Issues: If any Pari Passu Secured Party is required to disgorge or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of any Loan Party for any reason (a “Recovery”), then the Pari Passu Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the Discharge of Pari Passu Obligations shall be deemed not to have occurred.

Separate Grants of Security and Classifications: The grants of Liens pursuant to the Pari Passu Debt Documents and the Junior Lien Debt Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens. If it is held that the claims constitute only one secured


		claim, then all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of secured claims. The Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to vote as a separate class on any plan of reorganization. Post-Petition Interest: The Junior Secured Lien Parties shall not oppose or challenge any claim of the Pari Passu Secured Parties for post-petition interest, fees or expenses. No Waiver by Pari Passu Secured Parties: No Pari Passu Secured Party shall be prohibited from objecting to any action taken by the Junior Lien Secured Parties (or any agent on their behalf). Plan of Reorganization. No Junior Lien Secured Party shall support or vote in favor of any plan of reorganization that is inconsistent with the terms of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Section 506(c). Until the Discharge of Pari Passu Obligations has occurred, no Junior Lien Secured Party shall assert any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or seek to recover any amounts that any Loan Party may obtain by virtue of any claim under such Section 506(c). Section 1111(b). Until the Discharge of Pari Passu Obligations has occurred, no Junior Lien Secured Party shall seek to exercise any rights under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Junior Lien Secured Party waives any claim it may have against any Pari Passu Secured Party arising out of the election by any Pari Passu Secured Party of the application to the claims of any Pari Passu Secured Party of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

PURCHASE OPTION:		Upon acceleration, bankruptcy or commencement of enforcement proceedings, the Junior Lien Secured Parties shall have a one-time right to purchase, within 30 days of such event, at par plus any prepayment premiums and accrued but unpaid interest and fees and any other unpaid amounts (and full cash collateralization of all letter of credit and related obligations), all of the Pari Passu Obligations.

RELATIONSHIP TO ABL CREDIT FACILITY AND ABL COLLATERAL		To the extent then binding with respect to the Liens securing any Pari Passu Obligations, the Junior Lien Secured Parties shall also be required to become parties to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement (or a substantially similar intercreditor agreement) which shall govern the rights of the Junior Lien Secured Parties in any Current Assets Collateral in which the ABL Administrative Agent and the secured parties under the ABL Credit Agreement (the “ABL Secured Parties”) have a first-priority lien (the “ABL Collateral”) and which shall be on terms substantially consistent with (or less favorable to the Junior Lien Secured Parties than) the terms applicable to the Pari Passu Secured Parties under the ABL Intercreditor Agreement.
