deemed to be the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and, following the LCT Test Date, any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been satisfied as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense or Consolidated Total Assets following the LCT Test Date but at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any event or transaction occurring after the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earliest of the date on which (i) such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated, (ii) the LCT Election is revoked by the Borrower and (iii) the date that the definitive agreement or date for redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment specified in an irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (a “Subsequent Transaction”) in connection with which a ratio, test or basket availability calculation must be made on a Pro Forma Basis or giving Pro Forma Effect to such Subsequent Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such ratio, test or basket availability has been complied with under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith have been consummated.

SECTION 2 Amount and Terms of Credit

2.1 Initial Term Loan Borrowing

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make term loans (each an “Initial Term Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date, in an aggregate principal amount up to its Initial Term Commitment. The Initial Term Loan prepaid or repaid may not be re-borrowed.

2.2 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings

The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Term Loans shall be in a minimum amount of at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Type of Term Loans and in a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

2.3 Notice of Borrowing; Determination of Class of Term Loans

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 2:00 p.m. one Business Day (or with respect to the second Borrowing, three Business Days) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of LIBOR Loans or any conversion of ABR Loans to LIBOR Loans and (ii) not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested date of any Borrowing of ABR Loans; provided that the Borrower may deliver new notices if such condition fails to be satisfied on the proposed Borrowing date. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Notice of Borrowing, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of the amount of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as otherwise provided hereunder, each Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Notice of Borrowing (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of LIBOR 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 Term Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Term Loans to be borrowed or which existing Term Loans are to be converted and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Term Loan in a Notice of Borrowing, then the applicable Term Loans shall be made as ABR Loans. If the Borrower fails to deliver a Notice of Borrowing to continue any LIBOR Loans, then the LIBOR Loans shall be deemed to have chosen to convert such Term Loan to an ABR Loan. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBOR Loans in any such Notice of Borrowing, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its pro rata share of the Term 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 ABR Loans. In the case of each Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Term Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 6, 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.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBOR Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the LIBOR Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that ABR 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 ABR promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(d) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any notice it may give hereunder by telephone, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.

2.4 Disbursement of Funds

(a) No later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its pro rata portion, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below; provided that on the Closing Date, such funds may be made available at such earlier time as may be agreed among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the purpose of consummating the Transactions.

(b) Each Lender shall make available all amounts required under any Borrowing for its applicable Commitments in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars, and the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower, by depositing to an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent the aggregate of the amounts so made available in Dollars. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available such amount to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent in Dollars. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the Term Loans of the applicable Class.

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

2.5 Repayment of Term Loans; Evidence of Debt

(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders holding Initial Term Loans, on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, the then outstanding Initial Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, on the other applicable Maturity Dates, the then outstanding other Term Loans.

(b) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, in Dollars, for the benefit of the Lenders of the Initial Term Loans, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December commencing on March 30, 2018, an aggregate principal amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date (each such repayment amount, an “Initial Term Loan Repayment Amount”), which payments shall be reduced as a result of voluntary prepayments or repurchase of the Initial Term Loans in accordance with this Agreement, including Sections 5.1 and 13.6(g) and further reduced by any prepayments pursuant to Section 5.2 and any other reductions in principal of the Initial Term Loans, including pursuant to Section 2.15, 2.16 or 13.7(a).

(c) In the event any Incremental Term Loans are made, such Incremental Term Loans shall be repaid in amounts (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Repayment Amount”) and on dates as agreed between the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of such Incremental Term Loans, subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.14. In the event that any Extended Term Loans, such Extended Term Loans, subject to Section 2.15(a), be repaid by the Borrower in the amounts (each, an “Extended Term Loan Repayment Amount”) and on the dates set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment. In the event that any Refinancing Term Loans are established, such Refinancing Term Loans shall, subject to Section 2.15(b), be repaid by the Borrower in the amounts (each, a “Refinancing Term Loan Repayment Amount”) and on the dates set forth in the applicable Refinancing Amendment.

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

(e) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 13.6(b), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Term Loan made hereunder and, if applicable, the relevant tranche thereof and the Type of each Term Loan made and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof, and (iv) any cancellation or retirement of Term Loans as contemplated by Section 13.6(g).

(f) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses (d) and (e) of this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Term Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(g) The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after the Borrower has made an initial Borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s expense a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit B, evidencing the Term Loans owing to such Lender.

2.6 Conversions and Continuations

(a) Subject to the penultimate sentence of this clause (a), (x) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of any Term Loans of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and (y) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period; provided that (i) no partial conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (ii) ABR Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, (iii) LIBOR Loans may not be continued as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Required Lenders have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, and (iv) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 1:00 p.m. at least (i) three Business Days’, in the case of a continuation of, or conversion to, LIBOR Loans or (ii) one Business Day’s in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans, prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), in each case substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Term Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Term Loans to be converted into or continued and, if such Term Loans are to be converted into, or continued as, LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto (if no Interest Period is selected, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration). The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Term Loans.

(b) If any Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any LIBOR Loans and the Required Lenders have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in clause (a) above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a Borrowing of ABR Loans, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower may deliver a Notice of Conversion or Continuation pursuant to which the Borrower elects to irrevocably continue the outstanding principal amount of any Term Loans subject to an interest rate Hedging Agreement as LIBOR Loans for each Interest Period until the expiration of the term of such applicable Hedging Agreement.

2.7 [Reserved]

2.8 Interest

(a) The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable ABR Margin plus the ABR, in each case, in effect from time to time.

(b) The unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable LIBOR Margin plus the relevant LIBOR Rate, in each case in effect from time to time.

(d) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Term Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon or any other amount hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), and a Specified Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, upon the giving of written notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (except in the case of an Event of Default under Section 11.5, for which no notice is required), such overdue amount (other than any such amount owed to a Defaulting Lender) shall bear interest at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) that is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2% or (y) in the case of any overdue interest or other amounts due hereunder, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) plus 2% from the date of written notice to the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment) (or if an Event of Default under Section 11.5 shall have occurred and be continuing, the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default).

(e) Interest on each Term Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable in Dollars; provided that any Term Loan that is repaid on the same date on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Except as provided below, interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (iii) in respect of each Term Loan, (A) on any prepayment; provided that interest on ABR Loans shall only become due pursuant to this clause (A) if the aggregate principal amount of the ABR Loans then-outstanding is repaid in full, (B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (C) after such maturity, on demand.

(f) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 5.5.

2.9 Interest Periods

At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(a), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six or (if available to all relevant Lenders participating in the relevant Credit Facility) a twelve month period or a period of less than one month.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

(a) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(b) if any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;

(c) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that if any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; and

(d) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond the applicable Maturity Date of such Term Loan.

2.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, LIBOR Discontinuation, Etc.

(a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, the Required Lenders shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (x) deposits in the principal amounts and currencies of the Term Loans comprising such LIBOR Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant market or (y) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Closing Date affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loans (other than any increase or reduction attributable to (i) Indemnified Taxes and Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4, (ii) net income Taxes and franchise and excise Taxes (imposed in lieu of net income Taxes) imposed on any Agent or Lender or (iii) Taxes included under clauses (c) through (e) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”) because of (x) any change since the Closing Date in any Applicable Law (or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new Applicable Law), such as, for example, without limitation, a change in official reserve requirements, and/or (y) other circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law (or would conflict with any such Applicable Law not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially and adversely affects the interbank LIBOR market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, as applicable, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise, as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by Applicable Law.

(b) At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan, affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected LIBOR 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 was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then-outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent require the affected Lender to convert each such LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan; provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If, after the Closing Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity of any Lender or compliance by any Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity occurring after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s or its Affiliates’ capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent or any Affiliate thereof could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, promptly after written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any Applicable Law as in effect on the Closing Date. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in substantially the same manner as applied to other similarly situated borrowers under comparable syndicated credit facilities.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and without limiting the provisions of Section 2.6, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error) that there exists, at such time, a broadly accepted market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States in lieu of the LIBOR Rate, and the Administrative Agent shall have given written notice of such determination to the Borrower and each Lender (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make such determination and/or to give such notice), then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement, in each case, as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (including clause (c) of the definition of ABR). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the distribution of such amendment to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required

Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment. In addition, the Borrower and the Required Lenders may at any time upon not less than 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent select a different broadly accepted market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States in lieu of the LIBOR Rate as long as it is reasonably practicable for the Administrative Agent to administer such different rate (such practicability being determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).

2.11 Compensation

If (i) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or 13.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 11 or for any other reason, (ii) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing, (iii) any ABR Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (iv) any LIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (v) any prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in substantially the same manner as applied to other similarly situated borrowers under comparable syndicated credit facilities.

2.12 Change of Lending Office

Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(b) or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Term Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10 or 5.4. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation.

2.13 Notice of Certain Costs

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4 is given by any Lender more than 180 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 181st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower.

2.14 Incremental Facilities

(a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, elect to request the establishment of (x) one or more additional tranches of term loans, which may be of the same Class as any then-existing Term Loans (a “Term Loan Increase”) or a separate Class of Term Loans (the commitments for additional term loans of the same Class or a separate Class, collectively, the “Incremental Term Commitments”) or (y) one or more tranches of revolving credit facilities (the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”, together with the Incremental Term Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”; and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Loans”), in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of the then-available Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount at the time of incurrence thereof and not less than $10,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount as (x) may be approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (y) shall constitute the then-available Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount at such time). The Borrower may approach any existing Lender or any Additional Lender to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Commitments; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Commitment, and the Borrower shall have no obligation to approach any existing Lender to provide any Incremental Commitment; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such Additional Lender’s providing of the Incremental Commitments to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 13.6(b) in connection with an assignment of Term Loans or Commitments to such Additional Lender. In each case, such Incremental Commitments shall become effective as of the date determined by the Borrower (the “Increased Amount Date”); provided that, (i) (x) other than as described in the immediately succeeding clause (y), no Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date immediately before or immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments and the borrowing of any Incremental Loans thereunder or (y) if such Incremental Commitment is being provided in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or similar Investment, or in connection with refinancing of any Indebtedness that requires an irrevocable prepayment or redemption notice, then no Specified Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date, (ii) in connection with any incurrence of Incremental Loans or establishment of Incremental Commitments, there shall be no requirement for the Borrower to bring down the representations and warranties under the Credit Documents unless requested by the lenders providing such Incremental Loans or Incremental Commitments (subject to waiver by such lenders of any such requirement) and (iii) the establishment of Incremental Commitments or the incurrence of Incremental Loans shall be effected pursuant to one or more amendments (each, an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 5.4(e). For all purposes of this Agreement, any Incremental Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated (x) a separate series of Term Loans or (y) in the case of a Term Loan Increase, a part of the series of existing Term Loans subject to such increase (such new or existing series of Term Loans, each, a “Series”).

(b) The terms and conditions of the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) such Incremental Revolving Commitments may have a maturity that is shorter than the Maturity Dates of the Term Loans but such maturity shall be longer than the maturity date of the Initial ABL Facility, (ii) the pricing, interest rate margins, discounts, premiums, interest rate floors and fees of such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be determined by the Borrower and the lender(s) thereunder and shall not be subject to any “most-favored nation” provisions (including under Section 2.14(d)(iv) below), (iii) such Incremental Revolving Commitments may have sub-facilities for letters of credit and swingline loans, (iv) lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be included in the definition of “Required Lenders”, (v) if such Incremental Revolving Commitments benefit from a financial covenant, the Term Loans shall not be required to enjoy the same benefit of such financial covenant and they shall cross accelerate (instead of cross default) to a breach of such financial covenant, (vi) customary amendments to the definition of “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount” may be made to permit any repayment of loans under Incremental Revolving Commitments accompanied with permanent terminations of such Incremental Revolving Commitments to be added to clause (2) of such definition, (vii) no Subsidiary (other than a Guarantor) is an obligor of such Incremental Revolving Commitments and (viii) if secured, such Incremental Revolving Commitments are not secured by any assets other than all or any portion of the Collateral or any Liens other than Liens that are pari passu with or junior to the Liens securing the Obligations.

(c) On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental Term Commitments of any Series are effective, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the foregoing applicable terms and conditions, (i) each Lender with an Incremental Term Commitment of any Series shall make a term loan to the Borrower (an “Incremental Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Commitment of such Series, and (ii) each Lender of any Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Commitment of such Series and the Incremental Term Loans of such Series made pursuant thereto. The Borrower shall use the proceeds, if any, of the Incremental Term Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement and as agreed by the Borrower and the lender(s) providing such Incremental Term Loans.

(d) The terms and provisions of any Incremental Term Commitments and the respective related Incremental Term Loans, in each case effected pursuant to a Term Loan Increase shall be substantially identical to the terms and provisions applicable to the Class of Term Loans subject to such increase; provided that underwriting, arrangement, structuring, ticking, commitment, original issue discount, upfront or similar fees, and other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with all relevant lenders providing such Incremental Term Commitments and the respective related Incremental Term Loans, that may be agreed to among the Borrower and the lender(s) providing and/or arranging such Incremental Term Commitments may be paid in connection with such Incremental Term Commitments. The terms and provisions of any Incremental Term Commitments and the respective related Incremental Term Loans of any Series not effected pursuant to a Term Loan Increase shall be on terms and documentation set forth in the applicable Incremental Amendment as determined by the Borrower; provided that:

(i) the applicable Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date of each Series shall be no earlier than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, provided that the requirements of the foregoing clause (i) shall not apply to any customary bridge facility so long as the Indebtedness into which such customary bridge facility is to be converted complies with such requirements;

(ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the applicable Incremental Term Loans of each Series shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans;

(iii) the Incremental Term Loans (x) may participate on a pro rata basis, greater than pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayment of any Class of Term Loans hereunder and may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of any Class of Term Loans hereunder; provided that if such Incremental Term Loans are unsecured or rank junior in right of payment or as to security with the Obligations, such Incremental Term Loans shall participate on a junior basis with respect to mandatory repayments of Term Loans hereunder (except in connection with any refinancing, extension, renewal, replacement, repurchase or retirement thereof permitted by this Agreement), (y) shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary other than a Guarantor hereunder and (z) shall be unsecured or rank pari passu or junior in right of security with any Obligations outstanding under this Agreement and, if secured, shall not be secured by assets of the Credit Parties other than Collateral (and, unless secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations, shall be subject to a subordination agreement (if payment subordinated) and/or the Applicable Intercreditor Agreement);

(iv) the pricing, interest rate margins, discounts, premiums, interest rate floors, fees, and amortization schedule (subject to clauses (i) and (ii) above) applicable to any Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the lender(s) thereunder; provided, however, that, if the Yield, in respect of any Incremental Term Loans that (w) rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the Initial Term Loans, (x) are incurred on or prior to the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date and (y) have a maturity date that is less than two years after the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date as of the date of funding thereof, exceeds the Yield in respect of any Initial Term Loans by more than 0.50%, then the Applicable ABR Margin or the Applicable LIBOR Margin, as applicable, in respect of such Initial Term Loans shall be adjusted so that the Yield in respect of such Initial Term Loans is equal to the Yield in respect of such Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50%; provided, further, to the extent any change in the Yield of the Initial Term Loans is necessitated by this clause (iv) on the basis of an effective interest rate floor in respect of the Incremental Term Loans, the increased Yield in the Initial Term Loans shall (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Borrower) have such increase in the Yield effected solely by increases in the interest rate floor(s) applicable to the Initial Term Loans; and

(v) all other terms of any Incremental Term Loans (other than as described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above) may differ from the terms of the Initial Term Loans if agreed by the Borrower and the lender(s) providing such Incremental Term Loans.

(e) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.14 and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment or amendment section) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit or restrict any such extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.14. Each Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, (x) effect technical and corresponding amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14 and (y) with respect to the Incremental Revolving Commitments, add provisions solely applicable to such Incremental Revolving Commitments (including provisions relating to extensions and refinancings of Incremental Revolving Commitments).

2.15 Extensions of Term Loans; Refinancing Facilities

(a) Extensions

(i) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (an “Existing Term Loan Class”) 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 Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.15. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Class which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall either, at the option of the Borrower, (A) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) or (B) if not consistent with the terms of the applicable Existing Term Loan Class, shall not be materially more restrictive to the Credit Parties (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class unless (x) the Lenders of the Term Loans of such applicable Existing Term Loan Class receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms or (y) any such provisions apply after the Latest Maturity Date as determined at the time of incurrence or issuance; provided, however, that (1) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.5 or in the Extension Amendment, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from

which such Extended Term Loans were converted, in each case as more particularly set forth in Section 2.15(a)(iii)), (2)(A) pricing, fees, optional prepayment or redemption terms shall be determined in good faith by the Borrower and the interest rates, interest margins, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and premiums (including through fixed rate interest) with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the interest margins and floors for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and/or (B) additional fees, premiums or AHYDO Catch-Up Payments may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (3) the Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis, greater than pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayment of any Class of Term Loans hereunder and may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of any Class of Term Loans hereunder; provided that if such Extended Term Loans are unsecured or rank junior in right of payment or as to security with the Obligations, such Extended Term Loans shall participate on a junior basis with respect to mandatory repayments of Term Loans hereunder (except in connection with any refinancing, extension, renewal, replacement, repurchase or retirement thereof permitted by this Agreement) and (4) Extended Term Loans may have call protection and prepayment premiums and, subject to clause (3) above, other redemption terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, provided that the principal amount of the Extended Term Loans shall not exceed the principal amount of the Term Loans being extended except as otherwise permitted herein. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request.

(ii) Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class or Existing Term Loan Classes subject to such Term Loan Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Term Loan Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class or Existing Term Loan Classes subject to such Term Loan Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended Term Loans. In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class or Existing Term Loan Classes subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Term Loan Extension Request, Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class or Existing Term Loan Classes subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election.

(iii) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 2.15(a)(iii) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 13.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans established thereby) executed by the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. No Extension Amendment shall provide for any Class

of Extended Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $10,000,000 and the Borrower may condition the effectiveness of any Extension Amendment on an Extension Minimum Condition, which may be waived by the Borrower in its sole discretion. In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.15(a), each Extension Amendment shall amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.5 or the applicable Extension Amendment with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which the Extended Term Loans were converted to reduce each scheduled Repayment Amount for the Existing Term Loan Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class is to be converted pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any Repayment Amount payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15, and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 13.1 to any Section 2.15(a) Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.15(a) Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided that such Section 2.15(a) Additional Amendments comply with the requirements of Section 2.15(a) and do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.15(a) Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to (1) consents applicable to holders of Incremental Term Loans provided for in any Incremental Amendment and (2) consents applicable to holders of any Extended Term Loans provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Credit Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.15(a) Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 13.1.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Term Loan Class is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with paragraph (a) above, in the case of the existing Term Loans of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted by such Lender on such date. Any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were converted; provided that any Extended Term Loans converted from an Existing Term Loan Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any then outstanding Class of Term Loans other than the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were converted (in which case scheduled amortization with respect thereto shall be proportionally increased).

(v) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15(a) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees, or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Amendment) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment or amendment section) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit or restrict any such extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.15(a).

(vi) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines, and the Borrower agrees (acting reasonably), that the allocation of Extended Term Loans of a given Extension Series to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error in the receipt and processing of an Extension Election timely submitted by such Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Amendment”) within 15 days following the effective date of such Extension Amendment, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Amendment shall (A) provide for the conversion and extension of the applicable Term Loans in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans of the applicable Extension Series into which such other Term Loans were initially converted, as the case may be, in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Term Loans or Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension Amendment, in the absence of such error, (B) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree (including conditions of the type required to be satisfied for the effectiveness of an Extension Amendment described in Section 2.15(a)), and (C) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in Section 2.15(a) to the extent reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 2.15(a)(vi).

(vii) No conversion of Term Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.15(a) shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Refinancing Facilities.

(i) The Borrower may, at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Refinancing Term Loan Request”), request the establishment of (x) one or more new Classes of term loans under this Agreement (any such new Class, “New Refinancing Commitments”) or (y) increases to one or more existing Classes of Term Loans under this Agreement (any such increase to an existing Class, collectively with New Refinancing Commitments, “Refinancing Commitments”), in each case, established in exchange for, or to extend, renew, replace, repurchase, retire or refinance, in whole or in part, as selected by the Borrower, any one or more then existing Class or Classes of Term Loans or Commitments (with respect to a particular Refinancing Commitment or Refinancing Term Loan, such existing Term Loans or Commitments, “Refinanced Debt”), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of each such notice to each of the Lenders.

(ii) Any Refinancing Term Loans made pursuant to New Refinancing Commitments shall be designated a separate Class of Term Loans, for all purposes of this Agreement unless designated as a part of an existing Class of Term Loans in accordance with this Section 2.15(b). On any Refinancing Facility Closing Date on which any Refinancing Commitments of any Class are effected, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.15(b), (x) each Refinancing Term Lender of such Class shall make a term loan to the Borrower (each, a “Refinancing Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Refinancing Commitment of such Class and (y) each Refinancing Term Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Refinancing Commitment of such Class and the Refinancing Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto.

(iii) Each Refinancing Term Loan Request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15(b) shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Refinancing Term Loans and identify the Refinanced Debt with respect thereto. Refinancing Term Loans may be made by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Refinancing Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lender to provide any Refinancing Commitment) or by any Additional Lender (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Commitment or Term Loan, a “Refinancing Term Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such Additional Lender’s providing of the Refinancing Commitments to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 13.6(b) in connection with an assignment of Term Loans or Commitments to such Additional Lender.

(iv) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, and the Refinancing Commitments thereunder, shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) on the date thereof (each, a “Refinancing Facility Closing Date”) of each of the following conditions, together with any other conditions set forth in the Refinancing Amendment:

(A) each Refinancing Commitment 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 is equal to the entire outstanding principal amount of Refinanced Debt), and,

(B) the Refinancing Term Loans made pursuant to any increase in any existing Class of Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans under the respective Class so incurred on a pro rata basis (based on the principal amount of each Borrowing) so that each Lender under such Class will participate proportionately in each then outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans under such Class.

(v) [Reserved].

(vi) The terms, provisions and documentation of the Refinancing Term Loans and Refinancing Commitments of any Class shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Refinancing Term Lenders providing such Refinancing Commitments, and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not identical to (or constituting a part of) any Class of Term Loans existing on the Refinancing Facility Closing Date, shall be consistent with the provisions below, and the other terms and conditions shall either, at the option of the Borrower, (x) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as determined by the Borrower) or (y), not be materially more restrictive to the Borrower (as determined by the Borrower), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the Initial Term Loans (except (1) covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date (as of the applicable Refinancing Facility Closing Date) and (2) pricing, fees, rate floors, premiums, optional prepayment or redemption terms (which shall be determined by the Borrower) and it being understood there shall be no “MFN” protection unless the Lenders under the Term Loans existing on the Refinancing Facility Closing Date, receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms). In any event, the Refinancing Term Loans:

(1) (I) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment with any Obligations outstanding under this Agreement and (II) shall be unsecured or rank pari passu or junior in right of security with any Obligations outstanding under this Agreement and, if secured, shall not be secured by assets of the Credit Parties other than the Collateral (and, unless secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations, shall be subject to a subordination agreement (if payment subordinated) and the Applicable Intercreditor Agreements);

(2) as of the Refinancing Facility Closing Date, shall not have a Maturity Date earlier than the Maturity Date of the Refinanced Debt;

(3) as of the Refinancing Facility Closing Date, such Refinancing Term Loans shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Refinanced Debt on the date of incurrence of such Refinancing Term Loans;

(4) may provide for the ability to participate on a pro rata basis or less than or greater than a pro rata basis in any voluntary repayments or prepayments of principal of Term Loans hereunder and on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments of principal of Term Loans hereunder; provided that if such Refinancing Term Loans are unsecured or rank junior in right of payment or as to security with the Obligations, such Refinancing Term Loans shall participate on a junior basis with respect to mandatory repayments of Term Loans hereunder (except in connection with any refinancing, extension, renewal, replacement, repurchase or retirement thereof permitted by this Agreement);

(5) unless otherwise permitted hereby, shall not have a greater principal amount than the principal amount of the Refinanced Debt (plus the amount of any unused commitments thereunder), plus accrued interest, fees, defeasance costs and premium (including call and tender premiums), if any, under the Refinanced Debt, plus underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees and similar items) in connection with the refinancing of such Refinanced Debt and the incurrence or issuance of such Refinancing Term Loans; and

(6) shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary other than a Guarantor hereunder;

(vii) Commitments in respect of Refinancing Term Loans shall become additional Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (a “Refinancing Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Refinancing Term Lender providing such Commitments and the Administrative Agent. The Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Credit Party, Agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15(b). The Borrower will use the proceeds, if any, of the Refinancing Term Loans in exchange for, or to extend, renew, replace, repurchase, retire or refinance, and shall permanently terminate applicable commitments under, substantially concurrently, the applicable Refinanced Debt.

(viii) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15(b) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees, or premium in respect of any Refinanced Debt on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Refinancing Amendment) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment or amendment section) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit or restrict any such refinancing or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.15.

2.16 Defaulting Lenders

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 4 or any interest at the Default Rate payable under Section 2.8(d) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee or interest that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

2.17 Permitted Debt Exchanges

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders (other than any Lender that, in connection with an issuance of Permitted Debt Exchange Instrument that constitutes Permitted Other Note, if requested by the Borrower, is unable to certify that it is either a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act)) with outstanding Term Loans under one or more Classes of Term

Loans (as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion) on the same terms, the Borrower may from time to time consummate one or more exchanges of Term Loans for Permitted Other Debt (such notes or loans, “Permitted Debt Exchange Instruments” and each such exchange, a “Permitted Debt Exchange”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied or waived: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of a Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is delivered to the relevant Lenders, (ii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Permitted Debt Exchange Instruments issued in exchange for Term Loans shall not exceed the principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of the Term Loans being exchanged plus any accrued interest, fees and premium (if any) under the Term Loans exchanged and underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees and similar items) in connection with the exchange of such Term Loans and the issuance of such Permitted Debt Exchange Instruments, (iii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans exchanged under each applicable Class by the Borrower pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the date of the settlement thereof (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the Borrower for immediate cancellation), (iv) if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) of a given Class tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof of the applicable Class actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Class offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower shall exchange Term Loans under the relevant Class tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, or if such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall have been made with respect to multiple Classes without specifying a maximum aggregate principal amount offered to be exchanged for each Class, and the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Classes tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of all relevant Classes offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower shall exchange Term Loans across all Classes subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, (v) all documentation in respect of such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and made in consultation with the Borrower and the Auction Agent, and (vi) any applicable Minimum Tender Condition or Maximum Tender Condition, as the case may be, shall be satisfied or waived by the Borrower.

(b) With respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17, (i) such Permitted Debt Exchanges (and the cancellation of the exchanged Term Loans in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 5.1 or 5.2, and (ii) such Permitted Debt

Exchange Offer shall be made for not less than $10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, provided that subject to the foregoing clause (ii) the Borrower may at its election specify (A) as a condition (a “Minimum Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes be tendered and/or (B) as a condition (a “Maximum Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that no more than a maximum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes will be accepted for exchange.

(c) In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, the Borrower and the Auction Agent shall mutually agree to such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.17 and without conflict with Section 2.17(c); provided that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that the date by which the relevant Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than a reasonable period (in the discretion of the Borrower and the Auction Agent) of time following the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is made.

(d) The Borrower shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agrees to comply with, all applicable securities and other laws in connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, it being understood and agreed that (x) none of the Auction Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility in connection with the Borrower’s compliance with such laws in connection with any Permitted Debt Exchange and (y) each Lender shall be solely responsible for its compliance with any applicable “xxxxxxx xxxxxxx” laws and regulations to which such Lender may be subject under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

SECTION 3 [Reserved]

SECTION 4 Fees; Commitments

4.1 Fees

(a) In the event that, prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower (x) makes any prepayment or repayment of Initial Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders holding Initial Term Loans, (I) a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans being prepaid in connection with such Repricing Transaction and (II) in the case of clause (y), an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Initial Term Loans of non-consenting Lenders outstanding immediately prior to such amendment that are subject to an effective pricing reduction pursuant to such amendment.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay directly to the Administrative Agent for its own account the administrative agent fees as set forth in the Fee Letter.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 4.1 (subject to Section 2.16).

4.2 Mandatory Termination or Reduction of Commitments

The Commitments in respect of the Initial Term Loans shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the funding of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date.

SECTION 5 Payments

5.1 Voluntary Prepayments

The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Term Loans, without premium or penalty (other than as provided in Section 4.1(a) with respect to the Initial Term Loans or as otherwise provided with respect to Term Loans incurred after the Closing Date and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11 with respect to prepayments of LIBOR Loans made on any date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period), in whole or in part, from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (a) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office revocable written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to make such prepayment, the amount of such prepayment and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice shall be given by the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (x) one Business Day prior to (in the case of ABR Loans) or (y) three Business Days prior to (in the case of LIBOR Loans) such prepayment and shall be promptly transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each Lender, (b) each partial prepayment of (i) any LIBOR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) any ABR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided that no partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount for LIBOR Loans and (c) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 on any day prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to compliance by the Borrower with the applicable provisions of Section 2.11. Each prepayment in respect of any Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be (a) applied to the Class or Classes of Term Loans in such manner as the Borrower may determine, (b) applied to reduce Repayment Amounts in such order as the Borrower may determine and (c) applied to reduce the Type of Term Loans in the applicable Class as the Borrower may determine. In the event that the Borrower does not specify the order in which to apply prepayments of Term Loans to reduce Repayment Amounts or prepayments of Term Loans as between Classes of Term Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such prepayment be applied to reduce the Repayment Amounts in direct order of maturity on a pro rata basis with the applicable Class or Classes, if a Class or Classes were specified, or among all Classes of Term Loans then outstanding, if no Class was specified. If the Borrower does not specify the Type of Term Loans in the applicable Class, the Administrative Agent may make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11. At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.1, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Term Loan of a Defaulting Lender.

5.2 Mandatory Prepayments

(a) Prepayment Events. (i) On each occasion that an Asset Sale Prepayment Event or a Recovery Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds of such Prepayment Event (or, in the case of Deferred Net Cash Proceeds, within three Business Days after the Deferred Net Cash Proceeds Payment Date), prepay (or cause to be prepaid) (subject to Section 11.11 when applicable), in accordance with clauses (c) and (d) below, Term Loans with a principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Prepayment Event; provided that the percentage in this Section 5.2(a)(i) shall be reduced to (A) 50% if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio on the date of such prepayment is less than or equal to 2.80 to 1.00 but greater than 2.30 to 1.00 and (B) 0% if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio on the date of such prepayment is less than or equal to 2.30 to 1.00; provided, further, that the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay or repurchase any Indebtedness (and with such prepaid or repurchased Indebtedness permanently extinguished) to the extent such Indebtedness is secured with a Lien on the Collateral ranking pari passu with the Lien securing the Initial Term Loans to the extent such Indebtedness requires the issuer to prepay or make an offer to purchase or prepay such Indebtedness with the proceeds of such Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness and with respect to which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to purchase or prepay exists and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans (it being understood that to the extent the holders of such Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness repurchased or prepaid, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof); provided, further, that (i) no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 5.2(a)(i) in the case of any Asset Sale Prepayment Event or Recovery Prepayment Event yielding Net Cash Proceeds of less than $5,000,000 in the aggregate and (ii) unless and until the amount at any time of Net Cash Proceeds from such Prepayment Events required to be applied at or prior to such time pursuant to this Section 5.2(a)(i) and not yet applied at or prior to such time to prepay Term Loans pursuant to this Section exceeds (x) $25,000,000 for a single Prepayment Event or (y) $100,000,000 in the aggregate for all Prepayment Events (other than those that are either under the threshold specified in clause (i) or over the threshold specified in clause (ii)(x)) in any one Fiscal Year, at which time all such Net Cash Proceeds referred to in this clause (ii) with respect to such Fiscal Year shall be applied as a prepayment in accordance with this Section 5.2(a)(i) (and only amounts in excess of the threshold amount in clause (x) or (y) above shall be applied as a prepayment in accordance with this Section 5.2(a)(i)).

(ii) On each occasion that a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds from the occurrence of such Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event, prepay Term Loans in accordance with clauses (c) and (d) below.

(iii) On each occasion that a New Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds from the occurrence of such New Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event, (A) with respect to a New Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 10.1(v)(i), at the Borrower’s election as to the allocation of such Net Cash Proceeds as among any and all of the Classes of Term Loans as selected by Borrower and (B) with respect to each other New Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event, prepay the applicable Class or Classes of Term Loans that are the subject of the Refinanced Debt, in each case in a principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such New Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event.

(b) Excess Cash Flow. Not later than ten Business Days after the date on which financial statements are delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (in any case no later than the end of any cure period under Section 11.3(b) applicable to the delivery of such financial statements) for any Fiscal Year (commencing with the first full Fiscal Year completed after the Closing Date), prepay Term Loans in accordance with clauses (c) and (d) below in a principal amount equal to, as applicable, (i) (A) if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of such Fiscal Year is greater than 2.80:1.00, 50% of the Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year, (B) if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of such Fiscal Year is equal to or less than 2.80:1.00 and greater than 2.30:1.00, 25% of the Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year or (C) otherwise, 0% of the Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year; minus (ii) to the extent any Indebtedness secured with a Lien on the Collateral ranking pari passu with the Lien securing the Initial Term Loans also requires the issuer of such Indebtedness to prepay or make an offer to purchase or prepay such Indebtedness with the amount of Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower may reduce the amount calculated pursuant to the provisions above by an amount not to exceed the product of (x) such amount multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness and with respect to which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to purchase or prepay exists and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans (it being understood that to the extent the holders of such Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness repurchased or prepaid, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof); minus (iii) any voluntary prepayments or repurchases of Term Loans or any other Indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the Initial Term Loans (unless such prepayment or repurchase is funded with other long-term Indebtedness) made during such Fiscal Year or, at the Borrower’s option and without duplication, after the end of such Fiscal Year and prior to the time such Excess Cash Flow payment is due on a dollar-for-dollar basis (with the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio to be recalculated to give effect to any such after-Fiscal Year end payments); provided that (I) if for any Fiscal Year, the amounts calculated pursuant to the provisions above is a negative amount, any such negative amount shall, at the option of the Borrower, be carried forward in future Fiscal Years to reduce the required payments pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) and (II) notwithstanding anything set forth above, any prepayment under this Section 5.2(b) shall be required only if the required prepayment amount calculated pursuant to the provisions above (including giving effect to any credit applied pursuant to clause (I) of this proviso) exceeds $20,000,000, and only the amount in excess thereof shall be applied to make prepayments of the Term Loans.

(c) Application to Repayment Amounts. Each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(a) (except as provided in Section 5.2(a)(iii)) or Section 5.2(b) shall be allocated to the Term Loans then outstanding (ratably to each Class of Term Loans (or on a less than ratable basis, if agreed to by the Lenders providing such Class of Term Loans) based on

then remaining principal amounts of the respective Classes of Term Loans then outstanding) until paid in full. In addition, each such prepayment shall be applied within each Class of Term Loans (i) ratably among the Lenders holding the Term Loans of such Class (unless otherwise agreed by an applicable affected Lender) and (ii) to scheduled amortization payments in respect of such Term Loans in direct forward order of scheduled maturity thereof or as otherwise directed by the Borrower.

(d) Application to Term Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Term Loans required pursuant to Section 5.2(a) (other than Section 5.2(a)(iii)) or Section 5.2(b), subject to Section 11.11 in the case of Section 5.2(a)(ii) (when applicable), the Borrower may designate the Types of Term Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made; provided that the Borrower pays any amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11 with respect to prepayments of LIBOR Loans made on any date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period. In the absence of a Rejection Notice or a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent may, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

(e) [Reserved]

(f) Rejection Right. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i) or Section 5.2(b), in each case at least three Business Days prior to the date such prepayment is required to be made (or such shorter period of time as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). Each such notice shall be revocable and specify the anticipated date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed estimated calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Term Loans to be prepaid in accordance with such prepayment notice of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment. Each Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of any such prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i) or Section 5.2(b) (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) 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 shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a 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 prepayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter shall be retained by the Borrower (“Retained Declined Proceeds”).

(g) Foreign Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.2, (i) to the extent that the repatriation of any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds from a Recovery Prepayment Event (a “Foreign Recovery Event”) of, or any Disposition by, a Restricted Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to an Asset Sale Prepayment Event (a “Foreign Asset Sale”) or (ii) the repatriation of any Excess Cash Flow attributable to a

100

Restricted Foreign Subsidiary (“Foreign Excess Cash Flow”), are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law (including financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant subsidiaries) or material agreement (so long as not created in contemplation of such prepayment) or organizational document from being repatriated to the United States or, if the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Recovery Event or any Foreign Asset Sale or any Foreign Excess Cash Flow would have an material adverse tax consequence to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (or any direct or indirect parent company of the Borrower), such portion of the Net Cash Proceeds or the Foreign Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans, at the times provided in this Section 5.2 but may be retained by the applicable Restricted Foreign Subsidiary for working capital purposes so long, but only so long, (i) as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to promptly take commercially reasonable actions reasonably required by the applicable local law or material agreement to permit such repatriation) or (ii) as the Borrower determines in good faith such material adverse tax consequence to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (or any direct or indirect parent company of the Borrower) would be incurred, and once such repatriation is permitted under the applicable local law or such material adverse tax consequence would no longer be incurred as determined by the Borrower in good faith (and in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after such repatriation is permitted to occur or the Borrower determines in good faith that such material adverse tax consequence would no longer be incurred) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) apply an amount equal thereto to the repayment of the Term Loans as required pursuant to this Section 5.2.

5.3 Method and Place of Payment

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto, as the case may be, not later than 2:00 p.m., in each case, on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by written notice to the Borrower, it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. All repayments or prepayments of any Term Loans (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder and all other payments under each Credit Document shall be made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. or, otherwise, on the next Business Day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.

(b) Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

101

5.4 Net Payments

(a) Any and all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes; provided that if the Borrower or any Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall be required by Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the Borrower or such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (ii) the Borrower or such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with Applicable Law. If such a Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions and withholdings (including such deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4), the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by the Borrower or such Guarantor, as promptly as practicable thereafter, the Borrower or Guarantor shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt (or other evidence acceptable to such Lender, acting reasonably) received by the Borrower or such Guarantor showing payment thereof..

(b) The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority Other Taxes in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes that are paid by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender within fifteen Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4) payable or paid by such Agent or Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Agent or Lender and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth reasonable detail as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

102

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.6 relating to the maintenance of a Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereof, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) Any Non-U.S. Lender claiming a basis for an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall, to the extent it is legally able to do so, deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding or as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4(d), the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.4(f), 5.4(i) and 5.4(j) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(f) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.4(e), each Non-U.S. Lender with respect to any amounts payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so:

(i) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed copies of (x) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (together with a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the

103

meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower, any interest payment received by such Non-U.S. Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), (y) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8-BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax on payments under any Credit Document or (z) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Credit Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation or where Non-U.S. Lender is a pass through entity) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all necessary attachments (including the forms described in clauses (x) and (y) above and in Section 5.4(i), Exhibit J-2, Exhibit J-3 and or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable); provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership it may provide Exhibit J-4 on behalf of one or more of its direct or indirect partners that are claiming the portfolio interest exemption; and

(ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

If in any such case any Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or would prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it, such Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly so advise the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(g) If any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it had received and retained a refund of an Indemnified Tax or additional sums payable under this Section 5.4 (including an Other Tax) for which a payment has been made by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by the Borrower, then the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower for such amount (net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and without interest other than any interest received thereon from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) as the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking into account expenses or any Taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the payment had not been required; provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in the event the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is required to repay such refund to such

104

Governmental Authority. A Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall claim any refund that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its sole discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. None of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs that it deems confidential to any Credit Party in connection with this clause (g).

(h) If the Borrower determines that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a Tax, each Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request in challenging such Tax. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12, each Lender and Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request to minimize any amount payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.4. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold each Lender and Agent harmless against any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Person in connection with any request made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.4(h). Nothing in this Section 5.4(h) shall obligate any Lender or Agent to take any action that such Person, in its sole judgment, determines may result in a material detriment to such Person.

(i) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.4(d), with respect to any amounts payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document, each Lender or Agent that is a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or substitute or successor form), properly completed and duly executed, certifying that such Lender or Agent is exempt from United States backup withholding (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 or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in such 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.

(j) If a payment made to any Agent or Lender would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed under FATCA if such Agent or Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Agent or 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 Agent, such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such other documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Agent or Lender has or has not complied with such Agent’s or Lender’s FATCA obligations and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such documentation on or before the date that any such documentation expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Solely for purposes of this subsection (j), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement and any current or future intergovernmental agreements and any Applicable Law implementing such agreement entered into in connection therewith.

105

(k) The agreements in this Section 5.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document.

5.5 Computations of Interest and Fees

Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, interest on LIBOR Loans and ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest on ABR Loans in respect of which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by the Wall Street Journal as the “U.S. prime rate” and interest on overdue interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

5.6 Limit on Rate of Interest

(a) No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Obligations in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any Applicable Law.

(b) Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with Applicable Laws.

(c) Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any Applicable Law, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Applicable Law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8.

(d) Spreading. In determining whether the interest hereunder is in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any Applicable Law, the total amount of interest shall be spread throughout the entire term of this Agreement until its payment in full.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any Applicable Law, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower.

106

(a) The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, permit officers and designated representatives of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (as accompanied by the Administrative Agent) to visit and inspect any of the properties or assets of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in whomsoever’s possession to the extent that it is within such party’s control to permit such inspection (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such inspection to be permitted to the extent that it is not within such party’s control to permit such inspection), and to examine the books and records of the Borrower and any such Restricted Subsidiary and discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower and of any such Restricted Subsidiary with, and be advised as to the same by, its and their officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and intervals and to such reasonable extent as the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders may desire (and subject, in the case of any such meetings or advice from such independent accountants, to such accountants’ customary policies and procedures); provided that, excluding any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default (i) only the Administrative Agent, whether on its own or in conjunction with the Required Lenders, may exercise rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 9.2, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not exercise

120

such rights more than one time in any calendar year and (iii) only one such visit shall be at the Borrower’s expense; provided, further, that when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent (or any of its representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. The Administrative Agent and the Required 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 9.2, neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary will be required under this Section 9.2 to disclose or permit the inspection or discussion of any document, information or other matter to the extent that such action would violate any attorney-client privilege (as reasonably determined by counsel (internal or external) to the Credit Parties), law, rule or regulation, or any contractual obligation of confidentiality (not created in contemplation thereof) binding on the Credit Parties or their respective Affiliates or constituting attorney work product (as reasonably determined by counsel (internal or external) to the Credit Parties).

(b) The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, maintain proper books of record and account, in which entries that are full, true and correct in all material respects and are in conformity, in all material respects, with GAAP shall be made of all material financial transactions and matters involving the assets of the business of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be (it being understood and agreed that any Restricted Subsidiary may maintain its individual books and records in conformity with local standards or customs and that such maintenance shall not constitute a breach of the representations, warranties or covenants hereunder).

9.3 Maintenance of Insurance

The Borrower will, and will cause each Material Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary to, at all times maintain in full force and effect, pursuant to self-insurance arrangements or with insurance companies that the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of the management of the Borrower, as applicable) are financially sound and responsible at the time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed, insurance in at least such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance which the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of management of the Borrower, as applicable) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business) and against at least such risks (and with such risk retentions) as the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of management of the Borrower, as applicable) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business and the availability of insurance on a cost-effective basis; and will furnish to the Administrative Agent, upon written reasonable request from the Administrative Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried, provided, however, that for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to make such request only once in any calendar year. With respect to each Mortgaged Property, obtain flood insurance in such total amount as the Administrative Agent may from time to time require, if at any time the area in which any improvements located on any Mortgaged Property is designated a “flood hazard area” in any Flood Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), and otherwise comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as set forth in the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended from time to time.

121

9.4 Payment of Taxes

The Borrower will pay and discharge, and will cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all Taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits, or upon any properties belonging to it, prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, and all lawful claims in respect of any Taxes imposed, assessed or levied that, if unpaid, could reasonably be expected to become a material Lien upon any properties of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that neither the Borrower nor any such Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim (i) that is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings if it has maintained adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment of management of the Borrower) with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP or (ii) with respect to which the failure to pay would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

9.5 Consolidated Corporate Franchises

The Borrower will do, and will cause each Material Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, corporate rights and authority, except to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries may consummate any transaction otherwise permitted hereby, including under Section 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 or 10.5.

9.6 Compliance with Statutes, Regulations, Etc

The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, comply with all Applicable Laws applicable to it or its property, including all governmental approvals or authorizations required to conduct its business, and to maintain all such governmental approvals or authorizations in full force and effect, in each case except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.7 Lender Calls

At the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall conduct a conference call that Lenders may attend to discuss the financial condition and results of operations of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the most recently ended measurement period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or (b) (beginning with the fiscal period of the Borrower ended March 31, 2018), at a date and time to be determined by the Borrower with reasonable advance notice to the Administrative Agent, limited to one conference call per fiscal quarter.

9.8 Maintenance of Properties

The Borrower will, and will cause the Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep and maintain all property material to the conduct of its business in good working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted), except to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

122

9.9 Transactions with Affiliates

(d) loans, advances and other transactions between or among the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any joint venture (regardless of the form of legal entity) in which the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower has invested (and which Subsidiary or joint venture would not be an Affiliate of the Borrower but for the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s Subsidiary ownership of Stock or Stock Equivalents in such joint venture or Subsidiary) to the extent permitted under Section 10,

(e) (i) employment, consulting and severance arrangements between the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries (or any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower) and their respective officers, employees, directors or consultants in the ordinary course of business (including payments, loans and advances in connection therewith) and (ii) issuances of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise and other transactions pursuant to any equityholder, employee or director equity plan or stock or other equity option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or agreement, other compensatory arrangement or any stock or other equity subscription, co-invest or equityholder agreement,

123

(g) the issuance of Stock or Stock Equivalents (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower (or any direct or indirect parent thereof) to Holdings or to any director, officer, employee or consultant,

The Borrower will, for financial reporting purposes, cause its Fiscal Year to end on September 30 of each year (each a “Fiscal Year”) and cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to maintain their fiscal years as in effect on the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent change the Fiscal Year or the fiscal years of its Restricted Subsidiaries with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied), in which case the Borrower and the Administrative Agent will, and are hereby authorized by the Lenders to, make any adjustments to this Agreement that are necessary in order to reflect such change in financial reporting.

9.11 Additional Guarantors and Grantors

Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in the Guarantee, the Security Documents, or any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement (including Section 9.12), the Borrower will cause each direct or indirect Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower (excluding any Excluded Subsidiary) formed or otherwise purchased or acquired after

124

the Closing Date and each other Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower that ceases to constitute an Excluded Subsidiary to, within 60 days from the date of such formation, acquisition or cessation (which in the case of any Subsidiary ceasing to constitute an Excluded Subsidiary pursuant to clause (a) thereof, commencing on the date of delivery of the applicable compliance certificate pursuant to Section 9.1(c)), as applicable (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), execute (A) a supplement to each of the Guarantee and the Security Agreement in order to become a Guarantor under such Guarantee and a grantor/pledgor under the Security Agreement and (B) a joinder to the Intercompany Subordinated Note.

9.12 Further Assurances

(a) Subject to the applicable limitations set forth in this Agreement (including Section 9.11) and the Security Documents and any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents) that may be required under any Applicable Law, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by the applicable Security Documents, all at the expense of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in the Security Documents (including in any Mortgage), if any assets that are of the nature secured by any Security Documents (including any owned Real Estate or improvements thereto constituting Collateral with a fair market value in excess of $10,000,000) are acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor after the Closing Date or are held by any Subsidiary on or after the time it becomes a Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.11 (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Security Documents that become subject to the Lien of any Security Document upon acquisition thereof or assets subject to a Lien granted pursuant to Section 10.2(d) or 10.2(g)), the Borrower will promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, if requested by the Collateral Agent, will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and will take, and cause the other Credit Parties to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, as soon as commercially reasonable but in no event later than 120 days, unless extended by the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion, to grant and perfect such Liens consistent with the applicable requirements of the Security Documents, including actions described in paragraph (a) of this Section, all at the expense of the Credit Parties.

(c) Any Mortgage delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the preceding clause (b) shall be accompanied by those items set forth in clause (d) that are customary for the type of assets covered by such Mortgage. Any items that are customary for the type of assets covered by such Mortgage may be delivered within a commercially reasonable period of time after the delivery of a Mortgage if they are not reasonably available at the time the Mortgage is delivered.

125

(d) With respect to any Mortgaged Property, within 120 days, unless extended by the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion, the Borrower will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Collateral Agent (i) a Mortgage with respect to each Mortgaged Property, executed by an Authorized Officer of each obligor party thereto, (ii) a policy or policies of title insurance insuring the Lien of each such Mortgage as a valid Lien on the Mortgaged Property described therein, free of any other Liens except Permitted Encumbrances or consented to in writing (including via email) by the Collateral Agent, together with such endorsements and reinsurance as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, together with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent of payment of all title insurance premiums, search and examination charges, escrow charges and related charges, fees, costs and expenses required for the issuance of the title insurance policies referred to above, (iii) a Survey, to the extent reasonably necessary to satisfy the requirements of clause (ii) above, (iv) all other documents and instruments, including Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable fixture security financing statements, reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to be filed, registered or recorded to create the Liens intended to be created by any such Mortgage and perfect such Liens to the extent required by, and with the priority required by, such Mortgage shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent in proper form for filing, registration or recording and (v) written opinions of legal counsel in the states in which each such Mortgaged Property is located in customary form and substance. If any building or other improvement included in 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 area with respect to which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (as now or as hereafter in effect or successor act thereto), then the Borrower shall, prior to delivery of the Mortgages, deliver or cause to be delivered, (i) a completed Federal Emergency Management Agency Standard Flood Determination with respect to each Mortgaged Property, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and (ii) evidence of flood insurance with respect to each Mortgaged Property, to the extent and in amounts required by Applicable Laws, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Borrower and the Collateral Agent mutually agree in their reasonable judgment (confirmed in writing to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that the cost or other consequences (including adverse tax and accounting consequences) of creating or perfecting any Lien on any property is excessive in relation to the benefits afforded to the Secured Parties thereby, then such property may be excluded from the Collateral for all purposes of the Credit Documents.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall not be required, nor shall the Collateral Agent be authorized, (i) to perfect the above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages by any means other than by (A) filings pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the office of the secretary of state (or similar central filing office) of the relevant State(s), (B) filings in United States government offices with respect to intellectual property as expressly required herein and under the other Credit Documents, (C) delivery to the Collateral Agent, for its possession, of all Collateral consisting of material intercompany notes, stock certificates of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or (D) Mortgages required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 9.12, (ii) to enter into any control agreement with respect to any deposit account, securities account or commodities account or contract (other than for which control agreements are required to be obtained or for which the ABL Collateral Agent has obtained control, in each case, to the extent required by the ABL Credit Documents; provided that in such case, the ABL Collateral Agent

126

will act as the agent for perfection on behalf of the Secured Parties without causing the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to become a party to such control agreements), (iii) to take any action in any non-U.S. jurisdiction or pursuant to the requirements of the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction in order to create any security interests or to perfect any security interests, including with respect to any intellectual property registered outside of the United States (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed by the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction), (iv) except as expressly set forth above, to take any other action with respect to any Collateral to perfect through control agreements or to otherwise perfect by “control” or (v) to provide any notice to obtain the consent of governmental authorities under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act (or any state equivalent thereof).

The Borrower will use the proceeds of other Term Loans or Commitments for purposes as agreed with the Lenders thereof.

9.14 Maintenance of Ratings

The Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain (but not maintain any specific rating) a public corporate family and/or corporate credit rating, as applicable, and public ratings in respect of the Initial Term Loans provided pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, from each of S&P and Xxxxx’x.

9.15 Changes in Business

The Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will not fundamentally and substantively alter the character of their business, taken as a whole, from the business conducted by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, on the Closing Date and other business activities which are extensions thereof or otherwise similar, incidental, complementary, synergistic, reasonably related or ancillary to any of the foregoing (and non-core incidental businesses acquired in connection with any Permitted Acquisition or permitted Investment), in each case as determined by the Borrower in good faith.

SECTION 10 Negative Covenants

The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that on the Closing Date (immediately after giving effect to the Transactions) and thereafter, until all Commitments and all Term Loans, together with interest, fees and all other Obligations (other than Hedging Obligations under Secured Hedging Agreements, Cash Management Obligations under Secured Cash Management Agreement or Contingent Obligations), are paid in full:

Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, 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 Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower, each other Guarantor and each other Credit Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, none of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

12.7 Indemnification

The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent, each in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Term Loans in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Term Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent, including all fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the extent required to be reimbursed by the Credit Parties pursuant to Section 13.5, in any way relating to or arising out of the making of the Term Loans, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing (SUBJECT TO THE PROVISOS BELOW, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PERSON); provided that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as

162

determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, 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 Credit Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.7. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur, be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the making of the Term Loans, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing (including at any time following the payment of the Term Loans), this Section 12.7 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 such Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such 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. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof; and provided, further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final judgment of court of competent jurisdiction). The agreements in this Section 12.7 shall survive the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

12.8 Agents in their Individual Capacities

Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Borrower, any other Guarantor, and any other Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. With respect to the Term Loans made by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

163

12.9 Successor Agents

Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notifying the other Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including receipt of the Borrower’s consent); provided that if such Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person (including as a result of the absence of consent of the Borrower) has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (x) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (y) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders with (except after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Specified Default) the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld) appoint successor Agents as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to such Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Section 12 (including Section 12.7) and Section 13.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent.

12.10 Withholding Tax

To the extent required by any Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative

164

Agent or of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower (solely to the extent required by this Agreement) and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

12.11 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 Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan 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 Term Loans 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 Secured Parties (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 hereunder) 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 Secured Party 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 Secured Parties, 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 4.1 and 13.5.

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 Secured Party or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding.

12.12 Intercreditor Agreements

Each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to enter into any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement contemplated hereby, and the parties hereto acknowledge that any such Applicable Intercreditor Agreement to which the Collateral Agent

165

and/or the Administrative Agent is a party are each binding upon them. Each Secured Party (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any such Applicable Intercreditor Agreement and (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Applicable Intercreditor Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof. In addition, each Secured Party hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent to enter into any other intercreditor arrangements to the extent required to give effect to the establishment of intercreditor rights and privileges as contemplated and required by Section 10.2 of this Agreement.

12.13 Security Documents and Guarantee; Agents under Security Documents and Guarantee

(a) Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Guarantee, the Collateral and the Security Documents, as applicable. Subject to Section 13.1, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may (or otherwise instruct the Collateral Representative to) execute any documents or instruments necessary to (x) subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien permitted under clauses (d), (g) and (l) of Section 10.2 or (y) enter into subordination or intercreditor agreements with respect to Indebtedness to the extent the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is otherwise contemplated herein as being a party to such intercreditor or subordination agreement (including the Applicable Intercreditor Agreements). The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Credit Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) upon the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all Obligations hereunder (except for Hedging Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedging Agreement, Cash Management Obligations in respect of Secured Cash Management Agreements and Contingent Obligations) and the termination of all Commitments, (ii) upon the sale or other Disposition of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other Disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Credit Party, to the extent such sale or other Disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Credit Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with this Section 13.1), (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee, (vi) as required to effect any sale or other Disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents and (vii) if such assets constitute Excluded Collateral. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Credit Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Credit Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to

166

the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents. Additionally, the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be automatically released from the Guarantee upon consummation of any transaction resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary or upon becoming an Excluded Subsidiary. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by the Borrower to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender.

(b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Holdings, the Borrower, the Agents and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the Guarantee may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other Disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other Disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other Disposition. No holder of Hedging Obligations under Secured Hedging Agreements or Cash Management Obligations under Secured Cash Management Agreements shall have any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Credit Party under this Agreement. No holder of Hedging Obligations under Secured Hedging Agreements or Cash Management Obligations under Secured Cash Management Agreements that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any other Credit Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to or vote on, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender or Agent and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Hedging Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

(i) forgive or reduce any portion of any Term Loan or extend the final scheduled maturity date of any Term Loan or reduce the stated rate, or forgive any portion thereof, or extend the date for the payment of any principal, any interest or Fee payable hereunder (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or extend the final expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, or increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Lender, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided that, in each case for purposes of this clause (i), a waiver of any condition precedent in Section 6 of this Agreement, the waiver of any Default, Event of Default, default interest, mandatory prepayment or reductions, any modification, waiver or amendment to the financial definitions or financial ratios or any component thereof or the waiver of any other covenant shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of a Lender, a reduction or forgiveness of any portion of any Term Loan or in the interest rates or the fees or premiums or a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest or an extension of the final maturity of any Term Loan, or the scheduled termination date of any Commitment; or

(ii) (x) reduce the percentages specified in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the consent of each Lender, or (y) consent to the assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower of their respective rights and obligations under any Credit Document to which it is a party (except as permitted pursuant to Section 10.3 or as contemplated by the definition of “Holdings”), alter the order of application set forth in Section 5.2(c) during the continuance of an Event of Default or Section 11.11 or change Section 13.8 or any other provision requiring pro rata sharing among the Lenders, in each case of this clause (y) without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or

168

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon Holdings, the Borrower, the applicable Credit Parties, such Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the affected Term Loans. In the case of any waiver, Holdings, the Borrower, the applicable Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, it being understood that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In connection with the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligations to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, modification, supplement, 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 Term 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, except as expressly provided for by this Agreement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented with respect to any matter that only affects the Lenders under a particular Class of Term Loans and/or Commitments but not any other Class of Term Loans or Commitments upon the consent of Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of Term Loans and Commitments of Term Loans in such Class.

169

170

property or so that the security interests therein comply with the Applicable Law or (C) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) or to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; and (v) the Credit Parties and the Collateral Agent, without the consent of any other Secured Party, shall be permitted to enter into amendments and/or supplements to any Security Documents in order to include customary provisions permitting the Collateral Agent to appoint sub-collateral agents or representatives to act with respect to Collateral matters thereunder in its stead.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Security Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, grant extensions of time (and direct the Collateral Agent to grant such extensions) for the satisfaction of any of the requirements under Sections 9.11, Section 9.12 or any Security Documents in respect of any particular Collateral or any particular Subsidiary if it determines that the satisfaction thereof with respect to such Collateral or such Subsidiary cannot be accomplished without undue expense or unreasonable effort or due to factors beyond the control of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required to be satisfied under this Agreement or any Security Document.

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

13.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties

(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 (i) except as expressly permitted by Section 10.3, neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 13.6.

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

(C) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount 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; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and the applicable tax forms as required under Section 5.4.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(v) of this Section 13.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.4 and 13.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 13.6 (other than attempted assignments or transfers in violation of the last paragraph of Section 13.6(b)(i) above, which shall be null and void as provided above).

175

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, each Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent 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 Holdings, the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender (solely with respect to its own outstanding Term Loans and Commitments), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 13.6 (unless waived) and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 13.6, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities that are not (x) a natural person, (y) any investment vehicle established primarily for the benefit of a natural person or (z) a Disqualified Institution (provided that the prohibition in clause (z) shall not apply retroactively to disqualify any entity that has previously acquired an assignment or participation interest in the Term Loans to the extent such entity was not a Disqualified Institution at the time of the applicable assignment or participation, as the case may be) (each, a “Participant”) (and any such attempted sales to the Persons identified in clauses (x)—(z) above shall be null and void) (provided that the last sentence of Section 13.6(b)(i) shall apply) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Term Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation with respect to, and shall bear no responsibility or liability for, the monitoring or enforcing of the list of Disqualified Institutions with respect to the sales of participations at any time. 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 to approve any amendment,

176

modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any consent, amendment, modification, supplement or waiver described in clause (i) or (iv) of the second proviso of the first paragraph of Section 13.1 that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 13.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender, and provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the requirements and limitations of those Sections and Sections 2.12 and 13.7(a) as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.8(b) as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.8(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 13.7 with respect to any Participant.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4 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.

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, 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 in the Term Loans (or other rights or obligations) held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit 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.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of Holdings, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 13.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Subject to Section 13.16, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose (other than to any Disqualified Institutions) to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”), any prospective Transferee and any prospective direct or

177

indirect contractual counterparties to any swap or derivative transactions to be entered into in connection with or relating to Term Loans made hereunder any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

(f) SPV Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Term Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Term Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Term Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Term Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Term Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Term Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.6, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Term Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) other than a Disqualified Institution providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Term Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Term Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This Section 13.6(f) may not be amended without the written consent of the SPV. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) no SPV shall be entitled to any greater rights under Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 than its Granting Lender would have been entitled to absent the use of such SPV and (y) each SPV agrees to be subject to the requirements of Sections 2.10, 2.11, and 5.4 as though it were a Lender and has acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to any Affiliated Parent Company, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof and (y) any Affiliated Parent Company, Holdings, the Borrower and any Subsidiary may, from time to time, purchase or prepay Term Loans, in each case, on a non pro rata basis through (1) Dutch auction procedures open to all applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures to be mutually agreed between the Borrower and the Auction Agent and as set forth in Exhibit K or (2) open market purchases; provided that:

178

(i) any Term Loans or Commitments acquired by Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be retired and cancelled immediately upon acquisition thereof;

(ii) no assignment of Term Loans to Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (x) may be purchased with the proceeds of any ABL Loans or (y) may occur while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder;

(iii) in connection with each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.6(g), none of any Affiliated Parent Company, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary purchasing any Lender’s Term Loans shall be required to make a representation that it is not in possession of MNPI with respect to any Public Reporting Entity, Holdings, Borrower and its Subsidiaries or their respective securities, and all parties to such transaction may render customary “big boy” letters to each other (or to the Auction Agent, if applicable);

(iv) (A) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans acquired by, or contributed to, any Affiliated Parent Company, Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary and (B) any scheduled principal repayment installments with respect to the Term Loans of such Class occurring pursuant to Sections 2.5(b) and (c), as applicable, prior to the final maturity date for Term Loans of such Class, shall be reduced pro rata by the par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so purchased or contributed (and subsequently cancelled and retired), with such reduction being applied solely to the remaining Term Loans of the Lenders which sold or contributed such Term Loans;

(v) no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to (x) attend or participate in (including, in each case, by telephone) any meeting (including “Lender only” meetings) or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Borrower are not then present or invited thereto, (y) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders or any other material which is “Lender only”, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrower or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Section 2) or receive any advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or (z) make any challenge to the Administrative Agent’s or any other Lender’s attorney-client privilege on the basis of its status as a Lender;

179

(vi) except with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action (a) that pursuant to Section 13.1 requires the consent of all Lenders, all Lenders directly and adversely affected or specifically such Lender, (b) that alters the applicable Affiliated Lender’s pro rata share of any payments given to all Lenders, or (c) affects the applicable Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) in a manner that is disproportionate to the effect on any Lender in the same Class, the Term Loans held by the applicable Affiliated Lender shall be disregarded in both the numerator and denominator in the calculation of any Lender vote (and, in the case of a plan of reorganization that does not affect the applicable Affiliated Lender in a manner that is adverse to such Affiliated Lender relative to other Lenders, such Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have voted its interest in the Term Loans in the same proportion as the other Lenders in the same Class) (and shall be deemed to have been voted in the same percentage as all other applicable Lenders voted if necessary to give legal effect to this paragraph) (but, in any event, in connection with any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action, shall be entitled to any consent fee, calculated as if all of the applicable Affiliated Lender’s Term Loans had voted in favor of any matter for which a consent fee or similar payment is offered); and

(vii) no such acquisition by an Affiliated Lender shall be permitted if, after giving effect to such acquisition, the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of any Class held by Affiliated Lenders would exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans, of such Class outstanding at the time of such purchase; provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding such 25% threshold at the time of such purchase, the purchase of such excess amount will be void ab initio.

Each Lender that sells its Term Loans pursuant to this Section 13.6 acknowledges and agrees that (i) Holdings and its Subsidiaries may come into possession of additional information regarding the Term Loans or the Credit Parties at any time after a repurchase has been consummated pursuant to an auction or open market purchase hereunder that was not known to such Lender at the time such repurchase was consummated and may be information that would have been material to such Lender’s decision to enter into an assignment of such Term Loans hereunder (“Excluded Information”), (ii) such Lender will independently make its own analysis and determination to enter into an assignment of its Term Loans and to consummate the transactions contemplated by an auction notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of Excluded Information and (iii) none of the direct or indirect equityholders of Holdings or any of its respective Affiliates, or any other Person, shall have any liability to such Lender with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information.

This Section 13.6 shall be construed so that all Term Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

13.7 Replacements of Lenders under Certain Circumstances

(a) The Borrower shall be permitted (x) to replace any Lender with a replacement bank or institution or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender, as the case may be, and repay all Obligations of the Borrower due and owing to such Lender relating to the Term Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date that (a) requests

180

reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 5.4 (or the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Agent or Lender or to any Governmental Authority on account of any Agent or Lender pursuant to Section 5.4), (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken, (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (d) refuses to make an Extension Election pursuant to Section 2.15; provided that, solely in the case of the foregoing clause (x), (i) no Specified Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (ii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Term Loans and other amounts (other than any disputed amounts), pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, as the case may be, owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iii) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (solely to the extent such consent would be required under Section 13.6), (iv) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein unless otherwise agreed) and (v) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

(b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, modification, supplement, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 13.1 requires the consent of either (i) all of the Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes directly and adversely affected or (ii) all of the Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes, and, in each case, with respect to which the Required Lenders (or Lenders holding the majority of outstanding loans or commitments in respect of the applicable Class or Classes, as applicable) or a majority (in principal amount) of the directly and adversely affected Lenders shall, in each such case, have granted their consent, then so long as no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to (x) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Term Loans and its Commitments hereunder (in respect of any applicable Class only, at the election of the Borrower) to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (to the extent such consent would be required under Section 13.6) or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender (in respect of any applicable Class only, at the election of the Borrower), and in the case of a Lender, repay all Obligations of the Borrower due and owing to such Lender relating to the Term Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date; provided that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced (in respect of any applicable Class only, at the election of the Borrower) shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 13.6.

(c) Nothing in this Section 13.7 shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that Holdings or the Borrower may otherwise have at law or at equity.

181

13.8 Adjustments; Set-off

(a) Except as contemplated in Section 13.6 or elsewhere herein or in any other Credit Document, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Term Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 11.5, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Term Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Term Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Applicable Law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Holdings, the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Holdings, the Borrower to the extent permitted by Applicable Law but with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than payroll, trust, tax, fiduciary, employee health and benefits, pension, 401(k) and xxxxx cash accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

13.9 Counterparts; Electronic Execution

This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or any other Credit Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

182

Each Lender shall be solely responsible for timely accessing posted documents or requesting delivery of paper copies of such documents from the Administrative Agent and maintaining its copies of such documents.

In no event shall any Agent or their Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties” and each an “Agent Party”) have any liability to Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of Holdings’, the Borrower’s or any Agent’s transmission of

187

Communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party resulted from such Agent Party’s (or any of its Related Parties’ (other than trustees or advisors)) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Credit Documents (as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

(e) The Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries of the Borrower or their securities) and, if documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to the Credit Documents or otherwise are being distributed through the Platform, any document or notice that Holdings or the Borrower has indicated contains only publicly available information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries of the Borrower and their securities may be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders.

13.20 Judgment Currency

If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Credit Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. 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).

13.21 Cashless Rollovers

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, to the extent that any Lender extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Term Loans by way of an Incremental Amendment, an Extension Amendment, a Refinancing Amendment or any other amendment to this Agreement, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Credit Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in cash” or any other similar requirement.

13.22 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions

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

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

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

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company (as defined herein) is party to the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2017 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, refinanced or replaced from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among Avaya Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), Avaya, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the lending institutions from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), and Xxxxxxx Sachs Bank USA, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as Collateral Agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and the other agents and entities party thereto, pursuant to which, among other things, the Lenders have severally agreed to make Term Loans to the Company (collectively, the “Extensions of Credit”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and Cash Management Banks or Hedge Banks may from time to time enter into Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedging Agreements;

WHEREAS, the Company is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Holdings and each Guarantor (other than Holdings or the Company) (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor”) is a direct or indirect Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Company;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it has derived or will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making of the Extensions of Credit and the provision of the Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the Closing Date under the Credit Agreement that the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guarantee to the Administrative Agent;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements set forth herein and to induce (i) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the respective Lenders to make their respective Extensions of Credit to the Company under the Credit Agreement, (ii) each Cash Management Bank to enter into Secured Cash Management Agreements and (iii) each Hedge Bank to enter into Secured Hedging Agreements, the Guarantors hereby agree with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as follows:

1. Defined Terms.

(a) Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

(b) The following terms have the following meanings:

“Qualified ECP Guarantor” shall mean, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Guarantor that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant Guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or such other person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

“Termination Date” shall mean the earliest date on which all Obligations are repaid in full (except for Hedging Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedging Agreement, Cash Management Obligations in respect of Secured Cash Management Agreements and Contingent Obligations) and all Commitments are terminated.

(c) Sections 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and 1.11 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.

2. Guarantee.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2(b), each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations of anyone other than such Guarantor (including amounts that would become due but for operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)).

(b) Anything herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall in no event exceed the amount that can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code or any Applicable Laws relating to fraudulent conveyances, fraudulent transfers or the insolvency of debtors.

(c) Each Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges) of Advisors that may be paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, such Guarantor under this Guarantee, in each case within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor and in accordance with, and subject to the limitations on reimbursement of costs and expenses set forth in Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing this Guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder.

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

(f) Each Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Administrative Agent in writing that such payment is made under this Guarantee for such purpose, but the failure to notify the Administrative Agent of any such payment will not create a breach or default hereunder or result in any liability to such Guarantor.

3. Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder (including by way of set-off rights being exercised against it), such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5 hereof. The provisions of this Section 3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder.

4. Right of Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Secured Parties provided by law, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by such Guarantor hereunder (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor. Each Secured Party shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the appropriation and application made by such Secured Party, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

5. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any of the Guarantors hereunder or any set-off or appropriation and application of funds of any of the Guarantors by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights (or if subrogated by operation of law, such Guarantor hereby waives such rights to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of any of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, in each case, until the Termination Date. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Termination Date, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with Section 11.11 of the Credit Agreement.

6. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Unless and until the Termination Date has occurred or, with respect to any Guarantor, such Guarantor shall be released in accordance with Section 7(c), each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith, the Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedging Agreements, and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, or, in the case of any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedging Agreement, the party thereto) may deem advisable from time to time and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of any of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Company or any Guarantor or any other Person, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Company or any Guarantor or any other Person or any release of the Company or any Guarantor or any other Person shall not relieve any Guarantor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any Guarantor not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

7. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, contraction, incurrence, renewal, extension, amendment, waiver or accrual of any of the Obligations, and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee. All Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended, waived or accrued, in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Company and any of the other Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Guarantor waives diligence, promptness, presentment, protest and notice of protest, demand for payment or performance, notice of default or nonpayment, notice of acceptance and any other notice in respect of the Obligations or any part of them, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Company or any of the other Guarantors with respect to the Obligations (other than the defense that the Termination Date has occurred or release of such Guarantor in accordance with Section 12.13 of the Credit Agreement). Each Guarantor understands and agrees that this Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Secured Cash Management Agreement, or Secured Hedging Agreement, any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than the defense that the Termination Date has occurred or release of such Guarantor in accordance with Section 12.13 of the Credit Agreement) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Company against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Company or such Guarantor) that constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance (in each case, other than the occurrence of the Termination Date). When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Company or any Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Company or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Company or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve such Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor.

(b) This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each Guarantor and the successors and assigns thereof and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns until the Termination Date.

(c) A Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder, and the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be automatically released, under the circumstances described in Section 12.13 of the Credit Agreement.

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

9. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim. Each Guarantor agrees that the provisions of Sections 5.4 and 13.19 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee.

10. Representations and Warranties; Covenants.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 8 of the Credit Agreement as they relate to such Guarantor and in the other Credit Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, all of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date), and the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein; provided that on the Closing Date, each such Guarantor’s representations and warranties under this Section 10(a) shall be limited to the Specified Representations.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party that, from and after the date of this Guarantee until the Termination Date, such Guarantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that no violation of any provision, covenant or agreement contained in Section 9 or Section 10 of the Credit Agreement and so that no Default or Event of Default, is caused by any act or failure to act of such Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

11. Authority of the Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent enters into this Guarantee in its capacity as agent for the Secured Parties from time to time. The rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent under this Guarantee at any time are the rights and obligations of the Secured Parties at that time. Each of the Secured Parties has (subject to the terms of the Credit Documents) a several entitlement to each such right, and a several liability in respect of each such obligation, in the proportions described in the Credit Documents. The rights, remedies and discretions of the Secured Parties, or any of them, under this Guarantee may be exercised by the Administrative Agent. No party to this Guarantee is obliged to inquire whether an exercise by the Administrative Agent of any such right, remedy or discretion is within the Administrative Agent’s authority as agent for the Secured Parties.

(b) Each party to this Guarantee acknowledges and agrees that any changes (in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents) in the identity of the Persons from time to time comprising the Secured Parties gives rise to an equivalent change in the Secured Parties, without any further act. Upon such an occurrence, the Persons then comprising the Secured Parties are vested with the rights, remedies and discretions and assume the obligations of the Secured Parties under this Guarantee. Each party to this Guarantee irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to give effect to the change in Lenders contemplated in this Section 11(b) by countersigning an Assignment and Acceptance.

(c) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be liable to any party for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Guarantee or any other Credit Document (except for its or such other Person’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or material breach of any Credit Document, each as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

12. Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Company at the Company’s address set forth in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement.

13. Counterparts. This Guarantee may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Guarantee on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. a “pdf” or “tif” file)), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to be originals and shall constitute one and the same instrument.

14. Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

15. Integration. This Guarantee, together with the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, represents the agreement of each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein, in the Credit Agreement or in the other Credit Documents.

16. Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a) None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 16(a)), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

(c) The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

17. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

18. Successors and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement.

19. Additional Guarantors. Each Subsidiary of the Company that is required to become a party to this Guarantee pursuant to Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor, with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein, for all purposes of this Guarantee upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a written supplement substantially in the form of Annex A hereto or in such other form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Guarantee shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Guarantee.

20. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTEE, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

21. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers; Service of Process. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Guarantee and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, in each case sitting in New York City in the Borough of Manhattan, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to (i) the Administrative Agent at its address set forth in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement or (ii) any Guarantor in care of the Company at the Company’s address set forth in the Credit Agreement, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Company to accept such service on its behalf;

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

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 21 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages; and

(f) agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally appoints the Company as its agent for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Guarantee and agrees that service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Guarantor in care of the Company at the Company’s address set forth in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement.

22. GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTEE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

23. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations hereunder voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 23 constitute, and this Section 23 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

24. Swap Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the other Credit Documents, if a Swap Obligation arises under a Master Agreement governing more than one “swap”, the exclusion set forth in the definition of Excluded Swap Obligation in the Credit Agreement with respect to such Swap Obligation shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to swaps for which this Guarantee or a security interest is or becomes illegal.

Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents or any Excluded Collateral to the extent they would otherwise constitute Collateral.

Each schedule so delivered shall supplement any prior schedules so delivered.

by the filings contemplated in Section 4.2), the validity and priority of the Security Interests created or intended to be created hereby or (ii) to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral, including the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Security Interests created hereby and all applicable documents required under Section 4.2(b)(i)(C), all at the expense of such Grantor.

(c) At the Collateral Agent’s prior written request at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions that gave rise to the Accounts constituting Collateral, including all orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, a Grantor shall not unreasonably grant any extension of the time of payment of any of the Subject Accounts, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon if the Collateral Agent shall have instructed the such Grantor in writing not to grant or make any such extension, credit, discount, compromise or settlement under any circumstances during the continuance of such Event of Default.

(e) At the direction of the Collateral Agent, solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall grant to the Collateral Agent, solely to the extent such grant does not constitute or result in the abandonment, termination, acceleration, invalidation of or rendering unenforceable any right, title or interest therein or result in a breach of the terms of, or constitute a breach or default under such Intellectual Property, a non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, license or sublicense (on a non-exclusive basis) any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor. Any license granted pursuant to this Section 6.1(e) shall be exercisable solely during the continuance of an Event of Default.

6.2 Voting Rights; Dividends and Distributions; Etc.

(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent has not provided the notice contemplated in Section 6.2(c) below:

(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Security Agreement or the other Credit Documents.

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above.

(b) Subject to Section 6.2(c) below, each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain and use any and all dividends, distributions, principal and interest made or paid in respect of the Collateral to the extent permitted by the Credit Documents; provided, however, that any and all noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Stock and Stock Equivalents of the issuer of any Pledged Shares or received in exchange for Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold as, Collateral and shall, if received by such Grantor, be received for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor and if certificated, be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall, at the applicable Grantor’s sole expense, promptly (upon receipt of a written request) deliver to such Grantor any Collateral in its possession if requested to be delivered to the issuer thereof in connection with any exchange or redemption of such Collateral permitted by the Credit Documents.

(c) Upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to a Grantor by the Collateral Agent that the Collateral Agent is exercising its rights under this Section 6.2(c), following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the terms of any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement:

(i) all rights of such Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights during the continuance of such Event of Default; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights. After all Event of Defaults have been cured or waived, each Grantor will have the right to exercise the voting and consensual rights that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 6.2(a)(i) (and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under Section 6.2(a)(ii) shall be reinstated);

(ii) all rights of such Grantor to receive the dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that such Grantor would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant

to Section 6.2(b) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments during the continuance of such Event of Default. After all Event of Defaults have been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent shall repay to each Grantor (without interest) and each Grantor shall be entitled to receive, retain and use all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to receive, retain and use pursuant to the terms of Section 6.2(b);

(iii) all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that are received by such Grantor contrary to the provisions of Section 6.2(b) shall be received for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall forthwith be delivered to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements); and

(iv) in order to permit the Collateral Agent to receive all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments to which it may be entitled under Section 6.2(b) above, to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.2(c)(i) above, and to receive all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that it may be entitled to under Sections 6.2(c)(ii) and 6.2(c)(iii) above, such Grantor shall, if necessary, upon prior written notice from the Collateral Agent, from time to time execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, appropriate proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and subject to each Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (a) the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold the Pledged Collateral in its own name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent) or the name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Collateral Agent, and each Grantor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it within respect such Pledged Collateral registered in the name of such Grantor and (b) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exchange the certificates, documents or other instruments representing Pledged Collateral for certificates, documents or other instruments of small or larger denominations of any purpose consistent with this Security Agreement or the Credit Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors prior notice of intent to exercise such rights; provided further, that the Collateral Agent’s failure to provide such notice shall not in any way limit or impede the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder.

6.3 Communications with Credit Parties; Grantors Remain Liable.

(a) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement and any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, after giving three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the relevant Grantor of its intent to do so, communicate with obligors under the Accounts to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Subject Accounts. The Collateral Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.

(b) Upon the written request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement and any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Accounts that the Subject Accounts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Subject Accounts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Subject Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Subject Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over to Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Subject Accounts, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement or any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, so requires by notice in writing to the relevant Grantor, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near cash items shall be held by such Grantor for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, and shall, promptly upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its dominion and control and on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.

6.5 Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the Proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, at any time after receipt in and in accordance with the order set forth in Section 11.11 of the Credit Agreement.

If, despite the provisions of this Security Agreement, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Security Agreement, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or other recover for the benefit of all Secured Parties hereunder for distribution in accordance with Section 11.11 of the Credit Agreement.

6.6 Code and Other Remedies. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement or any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and after giving prior written notice to the Company and any applicable Grantor, the Collateral Agent may (i) exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC or any other Applicable Law and also upon prior written notice to the relevant Grantor, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere for cash or on credit or for future delivery at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral, (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation and (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of such Collateral to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and, upon consummation of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent and any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, and the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party may pay the purchase price by crediting the amount thereof against the Obligations. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby waives any claim against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent, at places that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net Proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6 in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.5.

6.7 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the Proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency (in each case subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement).

6.8 Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Unless and until the Termination Date has occurred or, with respect to any Grantor, such Grantor shall be released in accordance with Section 7.4(b), to the extent permitted by law, each Grantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Grantor and without notice to or further assent by any Grantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) the Credit Agreement may, in accordance with the applicable provisions thereof, be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part from time to time and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Except as provided in Section 7.2, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Security Agreement or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any Grantor or any other Person, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any Grantor or any other Person or any release of any Grantor or any other Person shall not relieve any Grantor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any Grantor not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

7.	The Collateral Agent.

7.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

(a) Each Grantor hereby appoints, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date or, if sooner, upon the termination or release of such Grantor hereunder pursuant to Section 7.4, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact

with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, without assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following, in each case after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after prior written notice by the Collateral Agent to the Company and any applicable Grantor of its intent to do so:

(i) take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Subject Account constituting Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Subject Account constituting Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ix) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral;

(x) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral (with such Grantor’s consent to the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such Grantor or any of its Affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral);

(xi) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding with respect to the Collateral and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate (with such Grantor’s consent to the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such Grantor or any of its affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral);

(xii) assign any Intellectual Property (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Intellectual Property pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its reasonable business discretion determine; and

(xiii) subject to Section 6.1(e) and Section 6.6, generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ Security Interests therein and to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and after the expiration of any notice periods otherwise required hereunder or under any other Credit Document.

(b) Subject to any limitations of the Collateral Agent to take actions as set forth in Section 7.1(a), if any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein within a reasonable period of time after the Collateral Agent has requested in writing for it to do so, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses of the Collateral Agent, in each case subject to the limitations on reimbursements of costs and expenses set forth in

Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement, incurred in connection with actions undertook as provided in this Section 6.1 shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent to the extent required by, and in accordance with Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement to the extent required thereby, and in accordance therewith.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof and in accordance with the terms hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Security Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Security Agreement is terminated (or, with respect to any Grantor, until such Grantor is released in accordance with Section 7.4(b)) and the Security Interests created hereby are released.

7.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for the Collateral Agent’s or any Secured Party’s or any of their officers’, directors’, employees’ or agents’ own respective gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or material breach of this Security Agreement or any other Credit Document, in each case, as finally determined in a non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

7.3 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Security Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement, and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the applicable Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

7.4 Continuing Security Interest; Release.

(a) This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each Grantor and the successors and assigns thereof and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns permitted under the Credit Agreement until the Termination Date.

(b) A Subsidiary Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder if it ceases to be a Guarantor and the Security Interest in any assets of any such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released, in each case, pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

(c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) or pursuant to Section 12.13 of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request in writing to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

7.5 Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Grantor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Credit Party or other Person and applied to the Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the Proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Credit Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender, such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of any Grantor in respect of the amount of such payment.

7.6 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional.

7.7 Collateral Agent as Representative. Each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereunder. Each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Secured Parties.

8.	Miscellaneous.

8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the affected Grantor and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement.

8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Company at the Company’s address set forth in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement.

8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including all reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel) that may be paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent, in each case in accordance with, and subject to the limitations on reimbursement of costs and expenses set forth in, Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to indemnify and save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, all actual losses, damages, claims, expenses or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever related to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, and administration of this Security Agreement, in each case, to the extent the Grantors would be required to do so pursuant to Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement.

(c) Each Grantor agrees, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor (including documentation reasonably supporting such request), to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from actual losses, damages, claims or reasonable and

documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Security Agreement to the extent the Company would be required to do so pursuant to Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment or other satisfaction of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Documents.

8.5 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Security Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent or as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement.

8.6 Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Security Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., a “pdf” or “tif” file)), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to be originals and shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8.7 Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

8.8 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

The provisions of this Agreement are intended to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Priority Debt Parties and shall not impose on the ABL Representative, the ABL Secured Parties, the Term Priority Representatives, the Term Priority Debt Parties or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of the disposition of Proceeds of any Shared Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any Applicable Law.

SECTION 2.06. Certain Cash Collateral. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any ABL Debt Document or Term Priority Debt Document to the contrary, (x) Collateral consisting of cash and Cash Equivalents (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) and the proceeds thereof (i) pledged to secure ABL Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit pursuant the ABL Credit Agreement and/or (ii) deposited in, or credited to, any account for the purpose of Cash Collateralizing (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) obligations in respect of Letters of Credit pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement shall, in each case, be applied as specified in the ABL Credit Agreement and will not constitute Shared Collateral and, for the avoidance of doubt, no account containing any such cash and Cash Equivalents shall constitute Shared Collateral and (y)(i) funds deposited for the satisfaction, discharge, redemption or defeasance of any Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable ABL Debt Documents or Term Priority Debt Document and (ii) cash collateral deposited with (or pledged to) the ABL Representative, Term Priority Representative or any other Secured Party in respect of any ABL Hedging Agreement Obligations, ABL Cash Management Obligations, First Lien Term Hedging Agreement Obligations or First Lien Term Cash Management Obligations which are secured under the applicable Collateral Documents shall, in each case, be applied as specified in the applicable ABL Debt Documents or Term Priority Debt Document, as applicable, and will not constitute Shared Collateral.

Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Representative shall deliver promptly to the Designated Term Priority Representative any ABL Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Designated Term Priority Representative to the Term Priority Debt Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Term Priority Debt Documents (including the First Lien Intercreditor Agreements and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreements).

(b) After an Event of Default under any Term Priority Debt Document has occurred and until such Event of Default is cured or waived, so long as the Discharge of Term Priority Debt Obligations has not occurred and regardless of whether an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced, the Term Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Term Priority Collateral or upon the exercise of any other remedies shall be applied by the Term Priority Representatives to the Term Priority Debt Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Term Priority Debt Documents (including the First Lien Intercreditor Agreements and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreements) until the Discharge of Term Priority Debt Obligations has occurred.

(c) In exercising remedies, whether as a secured creditor or otherwise, the ABL Representative shall have no obligation or liability to the Designated Term Priority Representative or to any other Term Priority Debt Party, and no Term Priority Representative shall have any obligation or liability to the ABL Representative or to any other ABL Secured Party, in each case regarding the adequacy of any Proceeds or for any action or omission, except solely for an action or omission that breaches the express obligations undertaken by such Person under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, none of the parties hereto waives any claim that it may have against a Secured Party on the grounds that any sale, transfer or other disposition by the Secured Party was not commercially reasonable in every respect as required by the Uniform Commercial Code.

(d) Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Representative shall deliver to the Designated Term Priority Representative or shall execute such documents as the Designated Term Priority Representative may reasonably request (at the expense of the Borrower) to enable the Designated Term Priority Representative to have control over any Pledged or Controlled Collateral still in the ABL Representative’s possession, custody, or control in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Following the Discharge of Term Priority Debt Obligations, the Designated Term Priority Representative shall deliver to the ABL Representative or shall execute such documents as the ABL Representative may reasonably request (at the expense of the Borrower) to enable the ABL Representative to have control over any Pledged or Controlled Collateral still in the Designated Term Priority Representative’s possession, custody or control in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

F-23

(x) permitted by the terms of the Junior Priority Debt Documents or (y) made with the consent of the Designated Senior Representative at a time when an Event of Default (as defined in the applicable Senior Debt Document) is continuing, the Liens granted to the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties upon such Shared Collateral to secure Junior Priority Debt Obligations shall (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at such time) terminate and be released, immediately and automatically and without any further action by any Person, concurrently with the termination and release of all Liens granted upon such Shared Collateral to secure Senior Obligations. Upon delivery to a Junior Priority Representative of an Officer’s Certificate stating that any such termination and release of Liens securing the Senior Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective concurrently with such termination and release of the Liens granted to the Junior Priority Debt Parties and the Junior Priority Representatives) and any necessary or proper instruments of termination or release prepared by the Borrower or any other Grantor, such Junior Priority Representative will promptly execute, deliver or acknowledge, at the Borrower’s or the other Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such instruments to evidence such termination and release of the Liens. Nothing in this Section 5.01(a) will be deemed to affect any agreement of a Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Junior Priority Debt Parties under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, to release the Liens on the Junior Priority Collateral as set forth in the relevant Junior Priority Debt Documents.

(b) Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Designated Senior Representative and any officer or agent of the Designated Senior Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Junior Priority Representative or such Junior Priority Debt Party or in the Designated Senior Representative’s own name, from time to time in the Designated Senior Representative’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of Section 5.01(a), to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and/or authorize any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of Section 5.01(a), including any termination statements, notations of liens, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release. The Designated Senior Representative hereby agrees to take action reasonably requested by the Grantors to carry out the terms of this Section 5.01(b) or to accomplish the purposes of Section 5.01(a).

(c) With respect to any Senior Collateral, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby consents to the application, whether prior to or after an Event of Default under any Senior Debt Document, of proceeds of such Senior Collateral to the repayment of Senior Obligations pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents, provided that nothing in this Section 5.01(c) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Junior Priority Representatives or the Junior Priority Debt Parties to receive proceeds in connection with the Junior Priority Debt Obligations not otherwise in contravention of this Agreement.

of Shared Collateral for the benefit of or subject to the control of or, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, to follow the instructions of or (vii) obtain the agreement of a landlord with respect to access to leased premises where any item of Shared Collateral is located or waivers or subordination of rights with respect to any item of Shared Collateral in favor of, in any case, both any Senior Representative and any Junior Priority Representative or Junior Priority Debt Party, such Grantor may, until the applicable Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, comply with such requirement under the Junior Priority Collateral Document as it relates to such Shared Collateral by taking any of the actions set forth above only with respect to, or in favor of, the Designated Senior Representative; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any action or compliance with respect to the foregoing by any Grantor shall not cause a default or Event of Default to exist under any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Priority Debt Document.

SECTION 5.02. Insurance and Condemnation Awards. Proceeds of Shared Collateral include insurance proceeds and, therefore, the Lien priorities set forth herein shall govern the ultimate disposition of casualty insurance proceeds. The ABL Representative and the Designated Term Priority Representative shall each be named as additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, with respect to all insurance policies relating to the Shared Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, the ABL Representative and the ABL Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the Term Priority Representatives and the Term Priority Debt Parties, subject to the terms set forth in this Section 5.02 and the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Debt Documents, (a) to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the ABL Priority Collateral in the event of any loss, theft or destruction thereunder and (b) to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the ABL Priority Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of Term Priority Debt Obligations has occurred, the Designated Term Priority Representative and the Term Priority Debt Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the ABL Representative and the ABL Secured Parties, subject to the terms set forth in this Section 5.02 and the rights of the Grantors under the Term Priority Debt Documents, (a) to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Term Priority Collateral in the event of any loss, theft or destruction thereunder and (b) to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Term Priority Collateral. If any insurance claim includes both ABL Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral, the insurer will not settle such claim separately with respect to ABL Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral, and if the ABL Representative and the Designated Term Priority Representative are unable after negotiating in good faith to agree on the settlement for such claim, either ABL Representative or the Designated Term Priority Representative may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to make a determination as to the settlement of such claim, and the court’s determination shall be binding upon the Secured Parties. All proceeds of such insurance shall be remitted to the ABL Representative or the Designated Term Priority Representative, as the case may be, and each of the Term Priority Representatives and ABL Representative shall cooperate (if necessary) in a reasonable manner in effecting the payment of insurance proceeds in accordance with Section 4.01 hereof. Subject to the rights of the Grantors under the applicable Senior Debt Documents, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award, if in respect of any Senior Collateral, shall be paid (i) first, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Senior Representative for the benefit of Senior Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of such Senior Debt Documents, (ii) second, after the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Junior Priority Representative for the benefit of the Junior Priority Debt Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable Junior Priority Debt Documents and (iii) third, if no Junior Priority Debt Obligations are outstanding (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and expense reimbursement obligations), to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Designated Senior Representative in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02 to be applied in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(a) The ABL Debt Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, extended, renewed, replaced, restructured, and/or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, and the Indebtedness under the ABL Debt Documents may be Refinanced or replaced, in whole or in part, in each case, without the consent of any Term Priority Debt Party, all without affecting the Lien priorities provided for herein and the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Designated Term Priority Representative, no such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement, extension, renewal, replacement, restructuring or other modification (or successive amendments, restatements, amendment and restatements, supplements, extensions, renewals, replacements, restructurings or other modifications) shall contravene the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) The Term Priority Debt Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, extended, renewed, replaced, restructured, and/or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, and the Indebtedness under the Term Priority Debt Documents may be Refinanced or replaced, in whole or in part, in each case, without the consent of any ABL Secured Party, all without affecting the Lien priorities provided for herein and the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that, without the consent of the ABL Representative, no such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement, extension, renewal, replacement, restructuring or other modification (or successive amendments, restatements, amendment and restatements, supplements, extensions, renewals, replacements, restructurings or other modifications) shall contravene the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that each Junior Priority Collateral Document under its Junior Priority Debt Facility shall include the following language (or language to similar effect reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the [ABL Representative][Term Priority Representative] pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject to the lien priorities set forth in that certain ABL Intercreditor Agreement dated as of December 15, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ABL Intercreditor Agreement”), among Citibank, N.A., as ABL Representative, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Bank USA, as First Lien Term Collateral Representative, Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries of Holdings from time to time party thereto and affiliated entities party thereto and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the [ABL Representative][Term Priority Representative] hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. 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.”

F-26

amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each comparable Junior Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party and without any action by any Junior Priority Representative, the Borrower or any other Grantor; provided, however, that (i) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall (A) remove assets subject to the Junior Priority Liens or release any such Liens, except to the extent that such release is permitted or required by Section 5.01(a) and provided that there is a concurrent release of the corresponding Senior Liens or (B) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Junior Priority Representative in its role as Junior Priority Representative without its prior written consent and (ii) written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to each Junior Priority Representative by the Borrower within 10 Business Days after the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness and validity thereof.

SECTION 5.04. Rights as Unsecured Creditors. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Borrower and any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Junior Priority Debt Documents and Applicable Law so long as such rights and remedies do not violate any express provision of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Junior Priority Debt Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by a Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Shared Collateral in contravention of this Agreement, or of any other action in contravention of this Agreement. In the event that any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Junior Priority Debt Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated and junior to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties may have with respect to the Senior Collateral.

SECTION 5.05. Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a) Each Senior Representative acknowledges and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien securing any Senior Obligations on any Shared Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held, and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of such Senior Representative, or of agents or bailees of such Person (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), or if it shall any time obtain any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral or if it shall be the registered owner, assignee or lienholder (or other similar designation) on any certificate of title or other notation of liens, the applicable Senior Representative shall also hold such Pledged or Controlled Collateral, or take such actions with respect to such landlord waiver, bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement, as sub-agent or gratuitous bailee for the relevant Junior Priority Representatives, in each case solely for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant Junior Priority Collateral Documents or granting rights or access to any Shared Collateral subject to such landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.

F-27

(b) With respect to any Pledged or Controlled Collateral constituting Senior Collateral, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to deal with such Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents as if the Liens under the Junior Priority Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties with respect to such Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) The Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Junior Priority Representatives or any Junior Priority Debt Party to assure that any of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.05. The duties or responsibilities of the Senior Representatives under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Shared Collateral and the related Liens referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Junior Priority Representative for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Junior Priority Representative.

(d) The Senior Representatives shall not have, by reason of the Junior Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party, and each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives and releases the Senior Representatives from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Senior Representatives’ roles under this Section 5.05 as sub-agents and gratuitous bailees with respect to the Shared Collateral.

(e) With respect to any Pledged or Controlled Collateral constituting Senior Collateral, upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each applicable Senior Representative shall, at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense and, solely with respect to the Term Priority Debt Parties to the extent not otherwise required to act differently pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreements or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreements (in each case if then in effect), (i) (A) deliver to the Designated Junior Priority Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all such Pledged or Controlled Collateral in its possession, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Senior Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of such Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements or notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral or make any necessary notations of liens to effect such transfer, or (B) direct and deliver such Shared Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, (ii) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier and (iii) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving any Grantor that the Designated Junior Priority Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding. The Borrower and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify each Senior Representative for loss or damage suffered by such Senior Representative as a result of such transfer, except for loss or damage suffered by any such Person as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith, as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Senior Representatives have no obligations to follow instructions from any Junior Priority Representative or any other Junior Priority Debt Party in contravention of this Agreement (as determined in good faith by such Senior Representative).

F-28

(f) None of the Senior Representatives nor any of the other Senior Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for any obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party under the Senior Debt Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof or to any Junior Priority Debt Party, or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, no Junior Priority Debt Party will assert any marshaling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available to a junior secured creditor.

SECTION 5.06. When Discharge of Senior Obligations Deemed To Not Have Occurred. If, at any time substantially concurrently with or after the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to any Shared Collateral, the Borrower or any Subsidiary consummates any Refinancing of or incurs any Senior Obligations with respect to such Shared Collateral, then such Discharge of Senior Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Obligations) and the applicable agreement governing such Senior Obligations shall automatically be treated as a Senior Debt Document for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein and the agent, representative or trustee for the holders of such Senior Obligations shall be a Senior Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of notice of such incurrence (including the identity of the new Senior Representative) from the Borrower and the new Senior Representative under the agreement governing such Senior Obligations, each Junior Priority Representative (including the Designated Junior Priority Representative) shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (at the expense of the Borrower), including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the Borrower or such new Senior Representative shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide such new Senior Representative the rights of a Senior Representative contemplated hereby, (b) deliver to such Senior Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Junior Priority Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, (c) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer (and such new Senior Representative is) entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier and (d) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving a Grantor that the new Senior Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.

SECTION 5.07. Purchase Right. Without prejudice to the enforcement of the ABL Secured Parties’ remedies, the ABL Secured Parties agree that following (a) the acceleration of the ABL Obligations in accordance with the terms of the ABL Debt Documents or (b) the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (each, a “Purchase Event”), within thirty (30) days of the Purchase Event, one or more of the Term Priority Debt Parties may request, and the ABL Secured Parties hereby offer the Term Priority Debt Parties the option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the aggregate amount of outstanding ABL Obligations at the time of purchase at (a) in the case of ABL Obligations other than any ABL Cash Management Obligations or any ABL Hedging Agreement Obligations or in connection with undrawn Letters of Credit, par (plus any premium that would be applicable upon prepayment of the ABL Obligations (including as a result of the occurrence of any such Purchase Event) and accrued and unpaid interest, fees and expenses) and (b) in the case of ABL Cash Management Obligations or any ABL Hedging Agreement Obligations, an amount equal to the greater of

F-29

(i) all amounts payable by any Grantor under the terms of the applicable ABL Cash Management Obligations or ABL Hedging Agreement Obligations in the event of a termination of the applicable documentation governing such ABL Cash Management Obligations or any ABL Hedging Agreement Obligations and (ii) the xxxx-to-market value of such ABL Hedging Agreement Obligations, as determined by the counterparty to the Grantor thereunder with respect to such ABL Hedging Agreement Obligations, in each case, in accordance with the terms thereof and in accordance with customary methods for calculating xxxx-to-market amounts under similar arrangements by such counterparty, in each case, without warranty or representation or recourse (except for representations and warranties required to be made by assigning lenders pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement)). In the case of any ABL Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit (including reimbursement obligations in connection therewith), simultaneously with the purchase of the other ABL Obligations, the purchasing Term Priority Debt Parties shall provide the ABL Secured Parties who issued such Letters of Credit cash collateral in such amounts (not to exceed 105% thereof) as such ABL Secured Parties determine is reasonably necessary to secure such ABL Secured Parties in connection with any outstanding and undrawn Letters of Credit. If such right is exercised, the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event shall close within ten (10) Business Days of the request. If one or more of the Term Priority Debt Parties exercise such purchase right, it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the ABL Credit Agreement Administrative Agent and the applicable Term Priority Representative, in each case, at no cost or expense of the Grantors or the ABL Secured Parties. If none of the Term Priority Debt Parties exercise such right within thirty (30) days of such Purchase Event, the ABL Secured Parties shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.07 for such Purchase Event and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the ABL Debt Documents and this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, such purchase shall not reduce or limit the benefits of the ABL Debt Documents in favor of any ABL Secured Party that expressly survive the assignment of all or any portion of the applicable ABL Obligations by such ABL Secured Party, including, without limitation, any indemnity obligations of the Grantors thereunder. The ABL Credit Agreement Administrative Agent hereby consents to any Assignment and Assumption effectuated to one or more purchasers pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.07 and hereby agrees that no further consent from the ABL Credit Agreement Administrative Agent shall be required.

SECTION 5.08. Sharing of Information and Access. In the event that the ABL Representative shall, in the exercise of its rights under the ABL Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any Grantor which contain information identifying or pertaining to the Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Representative shall, upon request from the Designated Term Priority Representative and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the Designated Term Priority Representative such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide to the Designated Term Priority Representative copies thereof. In the event that any Term Priority Representative shall, in the exercise of its rights under the applicable Term Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any Grantor which contain information identifying or pertaining to any of the ABL Priority Collateral, such Term Priority Representative shall, upon request from the ABL Representative and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the ABL Representative such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide the ABL Representative copies thereof.

SECTION 5.09. Inspection and Access Rights.

(a) Without limiting any rights the ABL Representative or any other ABL Secured Party may otherwise have under Applicable Law or by agreement, in the event of any liquidation of the ABL Priority Collateral (or any other exercise of any Secured Creditor Remedies by the ABL Representative) and whether or not the Designated Term Priority Representative or any other Term Priority Debt Party has commenced and is continuing to exercise any Secured Creditor Remedies, the

F-30

ABL Representative or any other Person (including any Grantor) acting with the consent, or on behalf, of the ABL Representative, shall have the right (i) during normal business hours on any Business Day, to access ABL Priority Collateral that (A) is stored or located in or on, (B) has become an accession with respect to (within the meaning of Section 9-335 of the Uniform Commercial Code), or (C) has been commingled with (within the meaning of Section 9-336 of the Uniform Commercial Code), Term Priority Collateral, and (ii) during the Use Period, shall have the right to use the Term Priority Collateral (including, without limitation, Equipment, Fixtures, Intellectual Property, General Intangibles and Real Property), each of the foregoing in order to assemble, inspect, copy or download information stored on, take actions to perfect its Lien on, complete a production run of Inventory involving, take possession of, move, prepare and advertise for sale, sell (by public auction, private sale or a “store closing”, “going out of business” or similar sale, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or otherwise and which sale may include augmented Inventory of the same type sold in any Grantor’s business), store or otherwise deal with the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or interference by any Term Priority Debt Party or liability to any Term Priority Debt Party. In the event that any ABL Secured Party has commenced and is continuing the exercise of any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral or any other sale or liquidation of the ABL Priority Collateral has been commenced by a Grantor (with the consent of the ABL Representative), no Term Priority Debt Party may sell, assign or otherwise transfer the related Term Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of the Use Period, unless the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.09.

(b) During the period of actual occupation, use and/or control by the ABL Secured Parties and/or the ABL Representative (or their respective employees, agents, advisers and representatives) of any Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Representative shall be obligated to repair at their expense any physical damage (but not any diminution in value) to such Term Priority Collateral resulting from such occupancy, use or control, and to leave such Term Priority Collateral in substantially the same condition as it was at the commencement of such occupancy, use or control, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the ABL Secured Parties or the ABL Representative have any liability to the Term Priority Debt Parties pursuant to this Section 5.09 as a result of any condition (including any environmental condition, claim or liability) on or with respect to the Term Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Secured Parties (or the ABL Representative, as the case may be) of their rights under this Section 5.09 and the ABL Secured Parties shall have no duty or liability to maintain the Term Priority Collateral in a condition or manner better than that in which it was maintained prior to the use thereof by the ABL Secured Parties, or for any diminution in the value of the Term Priority Collateral that results from ordinary wear and tear resulting from the use of the Term Priority Collateral by the ABL Secured Parties in the manner and for the time periods specified under this Section 5.09. Without limiting the rights granted in this Section 5.09, the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Representative shall cooperate with the Term Priority Debt Parties in connection with any efforts made by the Term Priority Debt Parties to sell the Term Priority Collateral.

(c) The ABL Representative and the ABL Secured Parties shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to the Designated Term Priority Representative or any other Term Priority Debt Parties (or any person claiming by, through or under the Term Priority Debt Parties, including any purchaser of the Term Priority Collateral) or to the Grantors, for or in respect of the use by the ABL Representative and the ABL Secured Parties of the Term Priority Collateral.

Each Term Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Term Priority Debt Party under its Term Priority Debt Facility, agrees that notice received at least two Business Days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash or other collateral or approving such ABL Priority DIP Financing shall be adequate notice.

F-34

Representative, as applicable, makes a good faith determination that either (A) the ABL Priority Collateral or the Term Priority Collateral, as applicable, will decline speedily in value or (B) the failure to take any action will have a reasonable likelihood of endangering the ABL Representative’s or the Designated Term Priority Representative’s ability to realize upon its Collateral.

SECTION 6.03. Adequate Protection.

(a) Each Term Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Term Priority Debt Party under its Term Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall (i) object to, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (A) any request by the ABL Representative or any ABL Secured Party for adequate protection in any form, (B) any objection by the ABL Representative or any ABL Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the ABL Representative’s or ABL Secured Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection or (C) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts of the ABL Representative or any other ABL Secured Party as adequate protection or otherwise under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or (ii) assert or support any claim for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.

F-35

Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Term Priority Debt Parties under their Term Priority Debt Facilities, are granted adequate protection (in each instance, to the extent such grant is otherwise permissible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in the form of a superpriority claim in respect of ABL Priority Collateral, then such Term Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Term Priority Debt Party under their Term Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each ABL Representative shall also be granted adequate protection in the form of a superpriority claim in respect of ABL Priority Collateral, which superpriority claim shall be senior to the superpriority claim of the Term Priority Debt Parties on the same basis as the other Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations are so senior to such Liens securing Term Priority Debt Obligations under this Agreement (and, to the extent the ABL Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Term Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any such superpriority claim so granted to the Term Priority Debt Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that the ABL Secured Parties are granted adequate protection in respect of ABL Priority Collateral in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition fees and expenses (including, without limitation, professional and advisors’ fees contemplated by the ABL Debt Documents), then each Term Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Term Priority Debt Party under their Term Priority Debt Facilities, shall not be prohibited from seeking and accepting adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition incurred fees and expenses (as applicable), subject to the right of the ABL Secured Parties to object to the reasonableness of the amounts of fees and expenses so sought by the Term Priority Debt Parties.

(b) The ABL Representative, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties under the ABL Facility, agrees that none of them shall (i) object to, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (A) any request by any Term Priority Representative or any Term Priority Debt Party for adequate protection in any form, (B) any objection by any Term Priority Representative or any Term Priority Debt Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on any Term Priority Representative’s or Term Priority Debt Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection or (C) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts of any Term Priority Representative or any other Term Priority Debt Party as adequate protection or otherwise under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or (ii) assert or support any claim for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Term Priority Debt Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional or replacement collateral or superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, then the ABL Representative, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties under the ABL Facility, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority claim (as applicable), which (A) Lien is subordinated to the Liens on the Term Priority Collateral securing all Term Priority Debt Obligations and all adequate protection Liens granted to the Term Priority Debt Parties, on the same basis as the other Liens on the Term Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens on the Term Priority Collateral securing Term Priority Debt Obligations under this Agreement and/or (B) superpriority claim is subordinated to all superpriority claims of the Term Priority Debt Parties on the same basis as the other claims of the ABL Secured Parties are so subordinated to the claims of the Term Priority Debt Parties under this Agreement; provided that each ABL Secured Party shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection, that such junior superpriority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims, (ii) in the event the ABL Representative, for itself and on behalf of the ABL

If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of the Borrower or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (any such amount, a “Recovery”), then the applicable Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until a Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 6.05. Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classifications. The ABL Representative, for itself and on behalf of each ABL Secured Party under the ABL Facility, and each Term Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Term Priority Debt Party under its Term Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Collateral Documents and the Term Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the ABL Obligations with respect to any Shared Collateral are fundamentally different from the Term Priority Debt Obligations with respect to such Shared Collateral, and, in each case, must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, (x) if it is held that any claims of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Priority Debt Parties in respect of any Shared Collateral constitute a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Term Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Term Priority Debt Party under its Term Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions from such Shared Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of such ABL Priority Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of such ABL Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Term Priority Debt Parties), the ABL Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest, fees, and expenses, and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution from such ABL Priority Collateral is made in respect of the Term Priority Debt Obligations, and each Term Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Term Priority Debt Party under its Term Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees to turn over to the ABL Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from such ABL Priority Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Term Priority Debt Parties and (y) if it is held that any claims of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Priority Debt Parties in respect of any Shared Collateral constitute a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Representative, for itself and on behalf of each ABL Secured Party under the ABL Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions from such Shared Collateral constituting Term Priority Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of such Term Priority Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of such Term Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the ABL Secured Parties), the Term Priority Debt Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest, fees, and expenses, and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution from such Term Priority Collateral is made in respect of the ABL Obligations, and the ABL Representative, for itself and on behalf of each ABL Secured Party under the ABL Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees to turn over to the Designated Term Priority Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from such Term Priority Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the ABL Secured Parties.

This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The relative rights as to the Shared Collateral and proceeds thereof shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor. All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.

SECTION 6.08. Other Matters. To the extent that any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any of the Shared Collateral on which it holds a Junior Priority Lien, such Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, or such Junior Priority Debt Party agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of each Senior Representative, provided that if requested by any Senior Representative, such Junior Priority Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Senior Representatives (acting unanimously), including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

SECTION 6.09. 506(c) Claims. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing the Senior Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral on which it holds a Junior Priority Lien.

SECTION 6.10. Reorganization Securities.

(a) If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization, on account of both the ABL Obligations and the Term Priority Debt Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the Term Priority Debt Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

(b) No Junior Priority Debt Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any Plan of Reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement, other than with the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative or to the extent any such plan (i) pays off, in cash, in full, the Senior Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and expense reimbursement obligations) or (ii) is proposed or supported by the number of Senior Secured Parties required under Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

F-39

any Senior Secured Party to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Shared Collateral on which such Junior Priority Representative holds a Junior Priority Lien. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any senior claimholder arising out of the election by any Senior Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with any such Shared Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Grantor.

SECTION 6.12. Post-Petition Interest.

(a) None of the Junior Priority Representatives or any other Junior Priority Debt Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Senior Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest, fees, or expenses, under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise to the extent attributable to the Senior Collateral for such Senior Representative or Senior Secured Party (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Priority Debt Parties).

(b) None of the Senior Representatives or any or other Senior Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Junior Priority Representative or any other Junior Priority Debt Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Junior Priority Debt Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest, fees, or expenses, under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise to the extent attributable to the Junior Priority Collateral of such Junior Priority Representative, to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Junior Priority Representative on behalf of the Junior Priority Debt Parties on such Junior Priority Collateral (after taking into account value of the Senior Obligations); provided, however, to the extent that any such payments are later recharacterized as payments of principal by the applicable bankruptcy court, such payments shall, upon such recharacterization, be turned over to the Senior Secured Parties and applied to the Senior Obligations in accordance with Section 4.01.

SECTION 7.01. Reliance. All loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made prior to, on and after the date hereof by the Senior Secured Parties to the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that it and such Junior Priority Debt Parties have, independently and without reliance on any Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Junior Priority Debt Documents to which they are party or by which they are bound, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and they will continue to make their own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Junior Priority Debt Documents or this Agreement.

Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Debt Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties have in the Shared Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither any Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party shall have any duty to any Junior Priority Representative or Junior Priority Debt Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreement with the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including the Junior Priority Debt Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectability of any of the Senior Obligations, the Junior Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) any Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Shared Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 7.03. Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any ABL Debt Document or any Term Priority Debt Document;

(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 Term Priority Debt 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 Debt Document, or of the First Lien Term Credit Agreement or any other Term Priority Debt Document;

(c) any exchange of any security interest in any Shared 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 Term Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee thereof;

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

(e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to (i) the Borrower or any other Grantor in respect of the Senior Obligations (other than the Discharge of Senior Obligations subject to Sections 5.06 and 6.04) or (ii) any Junior Priority Representative or Junior Priority Debt Party in respect of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

Miscellaneous

SECTION 8.01. Conflicts. Subject to Section 8.22, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any ABL Debt Document or any Term Priority Debt Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

F-41

the relative rights and obligations of the First Lien Term Collateral Representative, the other Term Priority Representatives and the other Term Priority Debt Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect to any Shared Collateral shall be governed by the terms of each applicable First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and each applicable Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of any conflict between any such First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or any such Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, on the one hand, and this Agreement, on the other hand, as to such relative rights and obligations, the provisions of such First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or such Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall control.

SECTION 8.02. Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 6.04, this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the earlier of the Discharge of ABL Obligations and the Discharge of Term Priority Debt Obligations. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination, and the Senior Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Junior Priority Representatives or any Junior Priority Debt Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any Subsidiary constituting Senior Obligations in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 8.03. Amendments; Waivers.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) This Agreement may be amended, and may only be amended, in writing signed by each Representative (in each case, acting in accordance with the documents governing the applicable Debt Facility) and the Borrower. Any such amendment, supplement or waiver shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the Grantors, the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Priority Debt Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party and the Borrower, any Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 8.09 of this Agreement and upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and the Secured Parties and ABL Obligations or Term Priority Debt Obligations, as applicable, of the Debt Facility for which such Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof.

F-42

SECTION 8.04. Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries. The ABL Representative, the ABL Secured Parties, the Term Priority Representatives and the Term Priority Debt Parties shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and all endorsers or guarantors of the ABL Obligations or the Term Priority Debt Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the ABL Obligations or the Term Priority Debt Obligations. The ABL Representative, the ABL Secured Parties, the Term Priority Representatives and the Term Priority Debt Parties shall have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that the ABL Representative, any ABL Secured Party, any Term Priority Representative or any Term Priority Debt Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and the ABL Representative, the ABL Secured Parties, the Term Priority Representatives and the Term Priority Debt Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake any investigation or (iv) disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

SECTION 8.05. Subrogation. Each Junior Priority Representative, for and on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party represented by it, agrees that no payment to any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of any Shared Collateral in which such Junior Priority Representative holds a Junior Priority Lien shall entitle any Junior Priority Representative or any other Junior Priority Debt Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.

SECTION 8.06. Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments received by the ABL Secured Parties may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the ABL Obligations as the ABL Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, consistent and in accordance with the terms of the ABL Debt Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments received by the Term Priority Debt Parties may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Term Priority Debt Obligations as the Term Priority Debt Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, consistent and in accordance with the terms of the Term Priority Debt Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, assents to any such extension or postponement of the time of payment of the Senior Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security that may at any time secure any part of the Senior Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely as between the Term Priority Debt Parties, but subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, the terms of each applicable First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (if then in effect) and each applicable Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern the application of payments as amongst the Term Priority Debt Parties.

SECTION 8.07. Additional Grantors. The Borrower agrees that, if any Domestic Subsidiary (as defined in the Senior Debt Documents) that is not an “Excluded Subsidiary” or “U.S. Excluded Subsidiary” (in each case, as defined in the Senior Debt Documents) shall become a Guarantor in respect of any ABL Obligations or Term Priority Debt Obligations after the date hereof pursuant to the requirements set forth in the applicable Debt Documents, it will promptly cause such Domestic Subsidiary to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument in the form of Annex I. Upon such execution and delivery, such Domestic Subsidiary will become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder, and will be acknowledged by the

F-43

ABL Representative and the Designated Term Priority Representative. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 8.08. Dealings with Grantors. Upon any application or demand by the Borrower or any Grantor to any Representative to take any action under any of the provisions of this Agreement or under any Collateral Document (if such action is subject to the provisions hereof), at the reasonable written request of such Representative, the Borrower or such Grantor, as appropriate, shall furnish to such Representative a certificate of an Authorized Officer thereof (an “Officer’s Certificate”) stating that all conditions precedent, if any, expressly provided for in this Agreement or such Collateral Document, as the case may be, relating to the proposed action have been complied with or waived, except (a) that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished or (b) conditions that require the approval or satisfaction of any other Person or require actions not in the Borrower’s or any Grantor’s control.

SECTION 8.09. Additional Debt Facilities. To the extent, but only to the extent, permitted by the provisions of the then extant ABL Debt Documents and Term Priority Debt Documents, the Borrower may incur or issue and sell one or more series or classes of Additional Junior Priority Term Debt and one or more series or classes of Additional First Priority Term Debt. Any such additional class or series of Additional Junior Priority Term Debt (the “Junior Priority Term Class Debt”) may be secured by a second priority or third priority (or lower priority), subordinated Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the relevant Term Collateral Documents for such Junior Priority Term Class Debt, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such Junior Priority Term Class Debt (each, a “Junior Priority Term Class Debt Representative”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Junior Priority Term Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any Junior Priority Term Class Debt being referred to as the “Junior Priority Term Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying conditions (i) through (iii), as applicable, of the immediately succeeding paragraph. Any such additional class or series of Additional First Priority Term Debt (the “First Priority Term Class Debt”; and the First Priority Term Class Debt and Junior Priority Term Class Debt, collectively, the “Class Debt”) may be secured by a Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the relevant Term Collateral Documents, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such First Priority Term Class Debt (each, a “First Priority Term Class Debt Representative;” and the First Priority Term Class Debt Representatives and Junior Priority Term Class Debt Representatives, collectively, the “Class Debt Representatives”), acting on behalf of the holders of such First Priority Term Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any such First Priority Term Class Debt being referred to as the “First Priority Term Class Debt Parties”; and the First Priority Term Class Debt Parties and Junior Priority Term Class Debt Parties, collectively, the “Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii), as applicable, of the immediately succeeding paragraph. In order for a Class Debt Representative to become a party to this Agreement:

(i) such Class Debt Representative shall have executed and delivered to the ABL Representative and the Designated Term Priority Representative a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex II (if such Class Debt Representative is a Junior Priority Term Class Debt Representative) or Annex III (if such Class Debt Representative is a First Priority Term Class Debt Representative) (with such changes as may be reasonably approved by the ABL Representative, the Designated Term Priority Representative and such Class Debt Representative) pursuant to which it becomes a Representative hereunder, and the Class Debt in respect of which such Class Debt Representative is the Representative constitutes Additional First Priority Term Debt or Additional Junior Priority Term Debt, as applicable, and the related Class Debt Parties become subject hereto and bound hereby as Additional Term Priority Debt Parties;

F-44

(ii) the Borrower (a) shall have delivered to the ABL Representative and the Designated Term Priority Representative an Officer’s Certificate identifying the obligations to be designated as Additional First Priority Term Debt or Additional Junior Priority Term Debt, as applicable, and the initial aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof and certifying that such obligations are permitted under each Debt Document then in effect to be incurred and secured (I) in the case of Additional First Priority Term Debt, on a pari passu or junior basis to the First Lien Term Credit Agreement Obligations and on a senior basis to any Additional Junior Priority Term Debt, (II) in the case of Additional Junior Priority Term Debt, on a junior basis to the First Priority Term Debt, (III) on a senior basis to the ABL Obligations with respect to the Term Priority Collateral and (IV) on a junior basis to the ABL Obligations with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral and (b) if requested, shall have delivered true and complete copies of each of the material Term Priority Debt Documents (in each case, other than any fee or side letters) relating to such Class Debt, certified as being true and correct by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower; and

(iii) the Term Priority Debt Documents relating to such Class Debt shall provide that each Class Debt Party with respect to such Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Class Debt.

SECTION 8.10. Refinancings. The ABL Obligations and the Term Priority Debt Obligation may be refinanced or replaced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the refinancing or replacement transaction under any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Priority Debt Document) of any Representative or any Secured Party, all without affecting the Lien priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that, if secured, any such refinancing or replacement debt shall satisfy the requirements of Section 8.09. The Designated Junior Priority Representative hereby agrees that at the request of the Borrower, in connection with refinancing or replacement of Senior Obligations in accordance with Section 5.06 (“Replacement Senior Obligations”), it will enter into a customary agreement with the agent for the Replacement Senior Obligations containing terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or otherwise terms and conditions that are customary.

SECTION 8.11. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Representative, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties of the Debt Facility for which it is acting, irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, in each case sitting in New York City in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

F-45

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at its address set forth in Section 8.12 or at such other address of which the other parties hereto shall have been notified pursuant to Section 8.12;

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

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 8.11 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

B. As a condition to the ability of the Borrower to incur Junior Priority Term Class Debt after the date of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and to secure such Junior Priority Term Class Debt with the Junior Priority Lien and to have such Junior Priority Term Class Debt guaranteed by the Grantors, in each case under and pursuant to the Junior Priority Collateral Documents relating thereto, the Junior Priority Term Class Debt Representative in respect of such Junior Priority Term Class Debt is required to become a Representative under, and such Junior Priority Term Class Debt and the Junior Priority Term Class Debt Parties in respect thereof are required to become subject to and bound by, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement.

(a) Anything contained herein or in any of the Secured Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 1.03 and the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Controlling Collateral Agent or any Pari Secured Party is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Shared Collateral, or any distribution is made in respect of any Shared Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of the Borrower or any other Grantor or any Pari Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) with respect to any Shared Collateral, the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any such Shared Collateral by any Pari Secured Party or received by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any Pari Secured Party pursuant to any such intercreditor agreement with respect to such Shared Collateral and proceeds of any such distribution to which the Pari Obligations are entitled under any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) (subject, in the case of any such proceeds and distribution, to the second sentence immediately following) (all proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Shared Collateral and any payment or distribution made in respect of Shared Collateral pursuant to any intercreditor agreement or in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), shall be applied (i) FIRST, to the payment of all amounts owing to each Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such) pursuant to the terms of each applicable Secured Credit Document, (ii) SECOND, to the payment in full of the Pari Obligations of each Series on a ratable basis, with such Proceeds to be applied to the Pari Obligations of a given Series in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Credit Documents and (iii) THIRD, after payment in full of all Pari Obligations, to the Borrower and the other Grantors or their successors or assigns, as their interests may appear, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct; provided that following commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Grantor, solely for purposes of this Section 2.01(a) and not any other Secured Credit Document, in the event the value of the Shared Collateral is not sufficient for the entire amount of Post-Petition Interest on the Pari Obligations to be allowed under Sections 506(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code or other Bankruptcy Law in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the amount of Pari Obligations of each Series of Pari Obligations shall include only the

-8-

maximum amount of Post-Petition Interest allowable under Sections 506(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code or other Bankruptcy Law in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. If, despite the provisions of this Section 2.01(a), any Pari Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Pari Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Section 2.01(a), such Pari Secured Party shall hold such payment or recovery in trust for the benefit of all Pari Secured Parties for distribution in accordance with this Section 2.01(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared Collateral for which a third party (other than a Pari Secured Party) has a Lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of Pari Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of Pari Obligations (such third party, an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of Pari Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.

(b) It is acknowledged that the Pari Obligations of any Series may, subject to the limitations set forth in the then extant Secured Credit Documents, be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded, Refinanced or otherwise amended or modified from time to time, all without affecting the priorities set forth in Section 2.01(a) or the provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the Pari Secured Parties of any Series.

(c) Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of Pari Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC of any jurisdiction, or any other Applicable Law or the Secured Credit Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the Pari Obligations of any Series or any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 1.03), each Pari Secured Party hereby agrees that the Liens securing each Series of Pari Obligations on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority.

SECTION 2.02. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.03. Actions with Respect to Shared Collateral; Prohibition on Contesting Liens.

(a) Only the Controlling Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting with respect to any Shared Collateral (including with respect to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral). At any time when the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent is the Controlling Collateral Agent, no Additional Pari Secured Party shall or shall instruct any Collateral Agent to, and neither the Initial Additional Pari Collateral Agent nor any other Collateral Agent that is not the Controlling Collateral Agent shall, commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral (including with respect to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), whether under any Additional Pari Security Document, Applicable Law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent (or a Person authorized by it), acting in accordance with the Credit Agreement Collateral Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Shared Collateral at such time.

-9-

(b) With respect to any Shared Collateral at any time when the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent is not the Controlling Collateral Agent with respect thereto, (i) the Controlling Collateral Agent shall act only on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative, (ii) the Controlling Collateral Agent shall not follow any instructions with respect to such Shared Collateral (including with respect to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral) from any Non-Controlling Authorized Representative (or any other Pari Secured Party other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) and (iii) no Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or other Pari Secured Party (other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall or shall instruct the Controlling Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral (including with respect to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), whether under any Pari Security Document, Applicable Law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Controlling Collateral Agent (or a Person authorized by it), acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and in accordance with the applicable Additional Pari Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to such Shared Collateral.

(c) Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens securing each Series of Pari Obligations with respect to any Shared Collateral, the Controlling Collateral Agent with respect thereto (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative if it is not the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent) may deal with such Shared Collateral as if such Controlling Collateral Agent had a senior Lien on such Collateral. No Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or Non-Controlling Secured Party in respect of any Shared Collateral will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any Controlling Secured Party or any other exercise by the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or a Controlling Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to such Shared Collateral, or to cause the Controlling Collateral Agent to do so. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any Pari Secured Party, Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral.

(d) Each of the Pari Secured Parties agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) question or contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity, attachment or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the Pari Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral, or the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative to enforce this Agreement.

SECTION 2.04. No Interference; Payment Over.

(a) Each Pari Secured Party agrees that (i) it will not challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any Pari Obligations of any Series or any Pari Security Document or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien under any Pari Security Document or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by or other provisions of this Agreement; (ii) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or intent of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Shared Collateral by the Controlling Collateral Agent, (iii) except as provided in Section 2.03, it shall have no right to (A) direct the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Pari Secured Party to exercise, and shall not exercise, any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral (including pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement) or (B) consent to the exercise by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Pari Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral, (iv) it will not institute any suit or assert in

-10-

any suit, Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Pari Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Shared Collateral, and none of the Controlling Collateral Agent, any Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Pari Secured Party shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Controlling Collateral Agent, such Applicable Authorized Representative or other Pari Secured Party with respect to any Shared Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (v) if not the Controlling Collateral Agent, it will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have any Shared Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral and (vi) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Pari Secured Party to enforce this Agreement.

(b) Each Pari Secured Party hereby agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or shall realize any Proceeds or payment in respect of any such Shared Collateral, pursuant to any Pari Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under Applicable Law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement), at any time prior to the Discharge of each of the Pari Obligations, then it shall hold such Shared Collateral, Proceeds or payment in trust for the other Pari Secured Parties and promptly transfer such Shared Collateral, Proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Controlling Collateral Agent, to be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01 hereof.

SECTION 2.05. Automatic Release of Liens; Amendments to Pari Security Documents.

(a) If, at any time the Controlling Collateral Agent forecloses upon or otherwise exercises remedies against any Shared Collateral resulting in a sale or disposition thereof, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of each other Collateral Agent for the benefit of each Series of Pari Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens of the Controlling Collateral Agent on such Shared Collateral are released and discharged; provided that any Proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized therefrom shall be allocated and applied pursuant to Section 2.01.

(b) Each Collateral Agent and Authorized Representative agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such authorizations and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Controlling Collateral Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral provided for in this Section.

SECTION 2.06. Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.

(a) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including any Bankruptcy Case) by or against Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries. The parties hereto acknowledge that the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as contemplated by Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.

(b) If the Borrower and/or any other Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Bankruptcy Law and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (the “DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or

-11-

any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, each Pari Secured Party (other than any Controlling Secured Party or the Authorized Representative of any Controlling Secured Party) agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, unless the Controlling Collateral Agent (in the case of any Collateral Agent other than the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Pari Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the Pari Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Pari Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other Pari Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the Pari Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Pari Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any Pari Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral (in each case, except to the extent a Lien on additional collateral is granted to one Series in consideration of Collateral of such Series that is not Shared Collateral for a Series that does not receive a Lien on such additional collateral), with the same priority vis-à-vis the Pari Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement (other than any Liens of the Pari Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens), (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Pari Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01 (in each case, except to the extent a payment is made to one Series in consideration of Collateral of such Series that is not Shared Collateral for a Series that does not receive such payment), and (D) if any Pari Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.01 (in each case, except to the extent such adequate protection is granted to one Series in consideration of Collateral of such Series that is not Shared Collateral for a Series that does not receive such adequate protection); provided that the Pari Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the Pari Secured Parties of such Series or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided, further, that the Pari Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Pari Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Pari Secured Parties (other than as a provider of DIP Financing) in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

SECTION 2.07. Reinstatement. In the event that any of the Pari Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement or avoidance of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or any Bankruptcy Law or other similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such Pari Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.

SECTION 2.08. Insurance. As between the Pari Secured Parties, the Controlling Collateral Agent shall have the right to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral.

-12-

SECTION 2.09. Refinancings. The Pari Obligations of any Series may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Secured Credit Document) of any Pari Secured Party of any other Series, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that the Authorized Representative and Collateral Agent of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder Agreement on behalf of the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness.

SECTION 2.10. Possessory Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a) Possessory Collateral shall be delivered to the Controlling Collateral Agent and the Controlling Collateral Agent agrees to hold all Possessory Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Section 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC, to the extent applicable) for the benefit of each other Pari Secured Party for which such Possessory Collateral is Shared Collateral and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Pari Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.10; provided that at any time a Collateral Agent ceases to be Controlling Collateral Agent with respect to any Possessory Collateral, such former Controlling Collateral Agent shall, at the request of the new Controlling Collateral Agent, promptly deliver all such Possessory Collateral to such new Controlling Collateral Agent together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow such new Controlling Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral). The Borrower shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify each Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by such Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by such Collateral Agent as a result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) The Controlling Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Section 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC, to the extent applicable) for the benefit of each other Pari Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Pari Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.10.

(c) The duties or responsibilities of each Collateral Agent under this Section 2.10 shall be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Section 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC, to the extent applicable) for the benefit of each other Pari Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Pari Secured Parties thereon.

SECTION 2.11. Amendments to Security Documents.

(a) Without the prior written consent of the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, each Additional Pari Secured Party agrees that no Additional Pari Security Document may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Additional Pari Security Document would contravene any of the terms of this Agreement.

-13-

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Additional Pari Collateral Agent, the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent agrees that no Credit Agreement Collateral Document may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Credit Agreement Collateral Document would contravene any of the terms of this Agreement.

(c) In making determinations required by this Section 2.11, each Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.

ARTICLE III

EXISTENCE AND AMOUNTS OF LIENS AND OBLIGATIONS

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

ARTICLE IV

THE CONTROLLING COLLATERAL AGENT

SECTION 4.01. Authority.

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

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Controlling Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the Pari Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the Pari Security Documents, as applicable, pursuant to which the Controlling Collateral Agent is the collateral agent for such Shared Collateral, without regard to any rights to which the Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Pari Obligations held by such Non-Controlling Secured Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Pari Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the Pari Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any Pari Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of

-14-

Proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Pari Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against any Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative of any other Series of Pari Obligations or any other Pari Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions in accordance with this Agreement which any Collateral Agent, Authorized Representative or the Pari Secured Parties take or omit to take (including, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Pari Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the Pari Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the Pari Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Pari Obligations, (ii) any election in accordance with this Agreement by any Applicable Authorized Representative or any holders of Pari Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or (iii) subject to Section 2.06, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Controlling Collateral Agent shall not accept any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any Pari Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the UCC of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each Authorized Representative representing holders of Pari Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral.

SECTION 4.02. Exculpatory Provisions. The Controlling Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Controlling Collateral Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby; provided that the Controlling Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Controlling Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law;

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to a Grantor or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Controlling Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(iv) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (1) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (2) in reliance on a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower stating that such action is permitted by the terms of this Agreement and each Secured Credit Document. The Controlling Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default under any Series of Pari Obligations unless and until notice describing such Event of Default and referencing the applicable Secured Credit Document is given to the Controlling Collateral Agent;

(v) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (1) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Secured Credit Document, (2) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered

-15-

hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (3) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (4) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Secured Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Pari Security Documents, (5) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral for any Series of Pari Obligations, or (6) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Secured Credit Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Controlling Collateral Agent; and

(vi) need not segregate money held hereunder from other funds except to the extent required by Applicable Law. The Controlling Collateral Agent shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing.

The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers, privileges or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 5.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be terminated, waived, amended or modified (other than pursuant to any Joinder Agreement) except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Authorized Representative, each Collateral Agent and the Grantors.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Pari Secured Party, any Authorized Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 5.12 and upon such execution and delivery, such Authorized Representative and the Additional Pari Secured Parties and Additional Pari Obligations of the Series for which such Authorized Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any Refinancing of Pari Obligations of any Series, or the incurrence of Additional Pari Obligations of any Series, the Collateral Agents and the Authorized Representatives then party hereto shall enter (and are hereby authorized to enter without the consent of any other Pari Secured Party or any Grantor), at the request of any Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or the Borrower, into such amendments or modifications of this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to reflect such Refinancing or such incurrence and are reasonably satisfactory to each such Collateral Agent and each such Authorized Representative, provided that any Collateral Agent or Authorized Representative may condition its execution and delivery of any such amendment or modification on a receipt of a certificate from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the effect that such Refinancing or incurrence is permitted by the then existing Secured Credit Documents.

SECTION 5.03. Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the rights and benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and bind each of the Pari Secured Parties. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of any Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Pari Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.

SECTION 5.04. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any party in this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent and the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any actions in any role under this Agreement to anyone other than the Credit Agreement Secured Parties and only then in accordance with the Credit Agreement Collateral Documents.

SECTION 5.14. Additional Grantors. In the event any Subsidiary or a Grantor shall have granted a Lien on any of its assets to secure any Pari Obligations, such Grantor shall cause such Subsidiary, if not already a party hereto, to become a party hereto as a “Grantor”. Upon the execution and delivery by any Subsidiary of a Grantor of a Grantor Joinder Agreement in substantially the form of Annex III hereof, any such Subsidiary shall become a party hereto and a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as such herein.

Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents and the Junior Priority Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Junior Priority Debt Obligations with respect to any Shared Collateral are fundamentally different from the Senior Obligations with respect to such Shared Collateral, and, in each case, must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that any claims of the Senior Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Debt Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions from such Shared Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of such Shared Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of such Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Priority Debt Parties), the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest, fees, and expenses, and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution from such Shared Collateral is made in respect of the Junior Priority Debt Obligations, and each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees to turn over to the Designated Senior Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from such Shared Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Priority Debt Parties.

SECTION 6.06. No Waivers of Rights of Senior Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any way limit any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Junior Priority Debt Party with respect to any Shared Collateral on which such Junior Priority Debt Party holds a Junior Priority Lien, including the seeking by any Junior Priority Debt Party of adequate protection or the assertion by any Junior Priority Debt Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Junior Priority Debt Documents or otherwise.

H-32

SECTION 6.10. Reorganization Securities.

(a) If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization, on account of both the Senior Obligations and the Junior Priority Debt Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Obligations and on account of the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

(b) No Junior Priority Debt Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any Plan of Reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement, other than with the prior written consent of each Senior Representative or to the extent any such plan (i) pays off, in cash, in full, the Senior Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and expense reimbursement obligations) or (ii) is proposed or supported by the number of Senior Secured Parties required under Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

SECTION 6.11. Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, shall not object to, oppose, support any objection, or take any other action to impede, the right of any Senior Secured Party to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Shared Collateral on which such Junior Priority Representative holds a Junior Priority Lien. Each Junior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any senior claimholder arising out of the election by any Senior Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with any such Shared Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Grantor.

SECTION 6.12. Post-Petition Interest.

(a) None of the Junior Priority Representatives or any other Junior Priority Debt Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Senior Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest, fees, or expenses, under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise to the attributable to the Senior Collateral for such Senior Representative or Senior Secured Party (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Priority Debt Parties).

H-33

(b) None of the Senior Representatives or any or other Senior Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Junior Priority Representative or any other Junior Priority Debt Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Junior Priority Debt Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest, fees, or expenses, under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise to the extent attributable to the Junior Priority Collateral for such Junior Priority Representative, to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Junior Priority Representative on behalf of the Junior Priority Debt Parties on such Junior Priority Collateral (after taking into account value of the Senior Obligations); provided, however, to the extent that any such payments are later recharacterized as payments of principal by the applicable bankruptcy court, such payments shall, upon such recharacterization, be turned over to the Senior Secured Parties and applied to the Senior Obligations in accordance with Section 4.01.

ARTICLE VII

Reliance; Etc.

SECTION 7.02. No Warranties or Liability. Each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that neither any Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the Senior Debt Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Senior Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Debt Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties have in the Shared Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither any Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party shall have any duty to any Junior Priority Representative or Junior Priority Debt Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreement with the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including the Junior Priority Debt Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectability of any of the Senior Obligations, the Junior Priority Debt

H-34

Obligations or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) any Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Shared Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Priority Debt Document;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Obligations or Junior Priority Debt 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 First Lien Credit Agreement or any other Senior Debt Document or of the terms of the Junior Lien Credit Agreement or any other Junior Priority Debt Document;

(c) any exchange of any security interest in any Shared 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 Senior Obligations or Junior Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee thereof;

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

Miscellaneous

SECTION 8.01. Conflicts. Subject to Section 8.22, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Priority Debt Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relative rights and obligations of the First Lien Collateral Representative, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect to any Senior Collateral shall be governed by the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of any conflict between the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement as to such relative rights and obligations, the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relative rights and obligations of the Junior Lien Collateral Representative, the Junior Priority Representatives and the other Junior Priority Debt Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect to any Junior Priority Collateral shall be governed by the terms of each applicable Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of any conflict between any such Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, on the one hand, and this Agreement on the other hand, as to such relative rights and obligations, the provisions of such Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any ABL Intercreditor Agreement is outstanding, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations (as defined in such ABL Intercreditor Agreement), the relative rights and obligations of the Senior Representatives and the Junior Priority Representatives with respect to any Shared Collateral (as defined in the ABL

H-35

Intercreditor Agreement) shall be governed by the terms of such ABL Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of any conflict between such ABL Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement with respect to the relative rights and obligations of the Secured Parties with respect to such Shared Collateral, the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

SECTION 8.02. Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 6.04, this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the earlier of the Discharge of Senior Obligations and the Discharge of Junior Priority Debt Obligations. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination, and the Senior Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Junior Priority Representatives or any Junior Priority Debt Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any Subsidiary constituting Senior Obligations in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 8.03. Amendments; Waivers.

(b) This Agreement may be amended, and may only be amended, in writing signed by each Representative (in each case, acting in accordance with the documents governing the applicable Debt Facility) and the Borrower. Any such amendment, supplement or waiver shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the Grantors, Senior Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Debt Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party and the Borrower, any Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 8.09 of this Agreement and upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and the Secured Parties and Senior Obligations or Junior Priority Debt Obligations, as applicable, of the Debt Facility for which such Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof.

SECTION 8.04. Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries. The Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and all endorsers or guarantors of the Senior Obligations or the Junior Priority Debt Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Obligations or the Junior Priority Debt

H-36

Obligations. The Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that any Senior Representative, any Senior Secured Party, any Junior Priority Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Priority Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake any investigation or (iv) disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

SECTION 8.06. Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments received by the Senior Secured Parties may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Senior Obligations as the Senior Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, consistent and in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments received by the Junior Priority Debt Parties may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Junior Priority Debt Obligations as the Junior Priority Debt Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, consistent and in accordance with the terms of the Junior Priority Debt Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Junior Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, assents to any such extension or postponement of the time of payment of the Senior Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security that may at any time secure any part of the Senior Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but in each case subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, (x) solely as between the Senior Secured Parties, but subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (if then in effect) shall govern the application of payments as amongst the Senior Secured Parties and (y) solely as between the Junior Priority Debt Parties, but subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, the terms of each applicable Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement (if then in effect) shall govern the application of payments as amongst the Junior Priority Debt Parties.

SECTION 8.07. Additional Grantors. The Borrower agrees that, if any Domestic Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary (as defined in the applicable Debt Documents) shall become a Guarantor after the date hereof pursuant to the requirements set forth in the applicable Debt Documents, it will promptly cause such Domestic Subsidiary to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument in the form of Annex I. Upon such execution and delivery, such Domestic Subsidiary will become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder, and will be acknowledged by the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Priority Representative. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

H-37

SECTION 8.09. Additional Debt Facilities. To the extent, but only to the extent, permitted by the provisions of the then extant Senior Debt Documents and Junior Priority Debt Documents, the Borrower may incur or issue and sell one or more series or classes of Additional Junior Priority Debt and one or more series or classes of Additional Senior Debt. Any such additional class or series of Additional Junior Priority Debt (the “Junior Priority Class Debt”) may be secured by a second priority or third priority (or lower priority), subordinated Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the relevant Junior Priority Collateral Documents for such Junior Priority Class Debt, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such Junior Priority Class Debt (each, a “Junior Priority Class Debt Representative”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Junior Priority Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any Junior Priority Class Debt being referred to as the “Junior Priority Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying conditions (i) through (iii), as applicable, of the immediately succeeding paragraph. Any such additional class or series of Additional Senior Debt (the “Senior Class Debt”; and the Senior Class Debt and Junior Priority Class Debt, collectively, the “Class Debt”) may be secured by a Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the relevant Senior Collateral Documents, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such Senior Class Debt (each, a “Senior Class Debt Representative;” and the Senior Class Debt Representatives and Junior Priority Class Debt Representatives, collectively, the “Class Debt Representatives”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Senior Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any such Senior Class Debt being referred to as the “Senior Class Debt Parties”; and the Senior Class Debt Parties and Junior Priority Class Debt Parties, collectively, the “Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii), as applicable, of the immediately succeeding paragraph. In order for a Class Debt Representative to become a party to this Agreement:

(i) such Class Debt Representative shall have executed and delivered to the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Priority Representative a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex II (if such Class Debt Representative is a Junior Priority Class Debt Representative) or Annex III (if such Class Debt Representative is a Senior Class Debt Representative) (with such changes as may be reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative, the Designated Junior Priority Representative and such Class Debt Representative) pursuant to which it becomes a Representative hereunder, and the Class Debt in respect of which such Class Debt Representative is the Representative constitutes Additional Senior Debt or Additional Junior Priority Debt, as applicable, and the related Class Debt Parties become subject hereto and bound hereby as Additional Senior Debt Parties or Additional Junior Priority Debt Parties, as applicable;

(ii) the Borrower (a) shall have delivered to the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Junior Priority Representative an Officer’s Certificate identifying the

H-38

obligations to be designated as Additional Senior Debt or Additional Junior Priority Debt, as applicable, and the initial aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof and certifying that such obligations are permitted under each Debt Document then in effect to be incurred and secured (I) in the case of Additional Senior Debt, on a pari passu or junior basis to the First Lien Credit Agreement Obligations and on a senior basis to any Junior Priority Debt and (II) in the case of Additional Junior Priority Debt, on a junior basis to the Senior Obligations and (b) if requested, shall have delivered true and complete copies of each of the material Junior Priority Debt Documents or material Senior Debt Documents (in each case, other than any fee or side letters), as applicable, relating to such Class Debt, certified as being true and correct by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower; and

(iii) the Junior Priority Debt Documents or Senior Debt Documents, as applicable, relating to such Class Debt shall provide that each Class Debt Party with respect to such Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Class Debt.

SECTION 8.10. Refinancings. The Senior Obligations and the Junior Priority Debt Obligations may be refinanced or replaced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the refinancing or replacement transaction under any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Priority Debt Document) of any Senior Representative or any Secured Party, all without affecting the Lien priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that, if secured, any such refinancing or replacement debt shall satisfy the requirements of Section 8.09. The Designated Junior Priority Representative hereby agrees that at the request of the Borrower, in connection with refinancing or replacement of Senior Obligations in accordance with Section 5.06 (“Replacement Senior Obligations”), it will enter into a customary agreement with the agent for the Replacement Senior Obligations containing terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or otherwise terms and conditions that are customary.

SECTION 8.11. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Representative, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties of the Debt Facility for which it is acting, irrevocably and unconditionally:

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at its address set forth in Section 8.12 or at such other address of which the other parties hereto shall have been notified pursuant to Section 8.12;

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

Section 8.07 of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement provides that such Subsidiaries may become party to the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Junior Lien Credit Agreement, the Additional Junior Priority Debt Documents and Additional Senior Debt Documents, as applicable.

Accordingly, the Designated Senior Representative, the Designated Junior Priority Representative and the New Grantor agree as follows:

EXHIBIT K

[FORM OF] DUTCH AUCTION PROCEDURES

This outline is intended to summarize certain basic terms of procedures with respect to certain Borrower buy-backs pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 13.6(g) of the Credit Agreement to which this Exhibit K is attached. It is not intended to be a definitive list of all of the terms and conditions of a Dutch auction and all such terms and conditions shall be set forth in the applicable auction procedures documentation set for each Dutch auction (the “Offer Documents”). None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Agent or any of their respective Affiliates makes any recommendation pursuant to the Offer Documents as to whether or not any Lender should sell by assignment any of its Term Loans pursuant to the Offer Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by participating in the Dutch auction as a Lender) or whether or not the Borrower should purchase by assignment any Term Loans from any Lender pursuant to any Dutch auction. Each Lender should make its own decision as to whether to sell by assignment any of its Term Loans and, if so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Term Loans. In addition, each Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning any Dutch auction and the Offer Documents. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit K have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

Summary. The Borrower may purchase (by assignment) Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis by conducting one or more Dutch auctions pursuant to the procedures described herein; provided that no more than one Dutch auction may be ongoing at any one time and no more than four Dutch auctions may be made in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower.

1. Notice Procedures. In connection with each Dutch auction, the Borrower will notify the Auction Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) of the Term Loans that will be the subject of the Dutch auction by delivering to the Auction Agent a written notice in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Agent (an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount of Term Loans the Borrower is willing to purchase (by assignment) in the Dutch auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess of thereof, (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000 of Term Loans, at which the Borrower would be willing to purchase Term Loans in the Dutch auction and (iii) the date on which the Dutch auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (as defined below) will be due at the time provided in the Auction Notice (such time, the “Expiration Time”), as such date and time may be extended upon notice by the Borrower to the Auction Agent not less than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time. The Auction Agent will deliver a copy of the Offer Documents to each Lender promptly following completion thereof.

2. Reply Procedures. In connection with any Dutch auction, each Lender holding Term Loans wishing to participate in such Dutch auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Agent with a notice of participation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Agent (the “Return Bid”) to be included in the Offer Documents, which shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price per $1,000 of Term

Loans (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans, in an amount not less than $10,000,000, that such Lender is willing to offer for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”); provided that each Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount equals the entire amount of the Term Loans held by such Lender at such time. A Lender may only submit one Return Bid per Dutch auction, but each Return Bid may contain up to three component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid (as defined below) and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, a participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Agent, an assignment and assumption in the form included in the Offer Documents which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Agent and the Administrative Agent (the “Auction Assignment and Assumption”). The Borrower will not purchase any Term Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price (as defined below).

3. Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Agent, the Auction Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for the Dutch auction within the Discount Range for the Dutch auction that will allow the Borrower to complete the Dutch auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term Loans for which the Borrower has received Qualifying Bids). The Borrower shall purchase (by assignment) Term Loans from each Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). All Term Loans included in Qualifying Bids received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration. If a Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple component bids at different Reply Prices, then all Term Loans of such Lender offered in any such component bid that constitutes a Qualifying Bid with a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price shall also be purchased at a purchase price equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration.

4. Proration Procedures. All Term Loans offered in Return Bids (or, if applicable, any component bid thereof) constituting Qualifying Bids equal to the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the Applicable Threshold Price; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Dutch auction equal to the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (after deducting all Term Loans purchased below the Applicable Threshold Price), the Borrower shall purchase the Term Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount up to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, no Return Bids (or any component thereof) will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price.

5. Notification Procedures. The Auction Agent will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price no later than 3 Business Days after the date that the Return Bids were due. The Auction Agent will insert the amount of Term Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date determined by the Auction Agent in consultation with the Borrower onto each applicable Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. Upon written request of the submitting Lender, the Auction Agent will promptly return any Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.

6. Additional Procedures. Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Borrower may withdraw a Dutch auction by written notice to the Auction Agent no later than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time so long as no Qualifying Bids have been received by the Auction Agent at or prior to the time the Auction Agent receives such written notice from the Borrower. Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Auction Agent may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled; provided that a Lender may modify a Return Bid at any time prior to the Expiration Time solely to reduce the Reply Price included in such Return Bid. However, a Dutch auction shall become void if the Borrower fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions to the purchase of Term Loans set forth in, or to otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 13.6(g) of the Credit Agreement to which this Exhibit K is attached. The purchase price for all Term Loans purchased in a Dutch auction shall be paid in cash by the Borrower directly to the respective assigning Lender on a settlement date as determined by the Auction Agent in consultation with the Borrower (which shall be no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date Return Bids are due), along with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on the applicable Term Loans up to the settlement date. The Borrower shall execute each applicable Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Qualifying Bid.

All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Term Loans that are the subject of a Dutch auction will be determined by the Auction Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, and the Auction Agent’s determination will be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Auction Agent’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer Document, in consultation with the Borrower, will be final and binding.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Agent, any other Agent or any of their respective Affiliates assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates contained in the Offer Documents or otherwise or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information.

The Auction Agent acting in its capacity as such under a Dutch auction shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Agent, each reference therein to the “Credit Documents” were a reference to the Offer Documents, the Auction Notice and Auction Assignment and Assumption and each reference therein to the “Transactions” were a reference to the transactions contemplated hereby and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Agent as reasonably requested by the Auction Agent in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Dutch auction.

This Exhibit K shall not require the Borrower or any Subsidiary to initiate any Dutch auction, nor shall any Lender be obligated to participate in any Dutch auction.
