Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

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

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

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

the location and number of the Borrower’s account (or such other account as the Borrower may specify) to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.04.

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

Section 2.04.    Funding of Borrowings.

(a)    Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrower in the Borrowing Request.

(b)    Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.04 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.05.    Interest Elections.

(a)    Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.05. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Agent and signed by the Borrower.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(e)    If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.06.    Termination of Term Commitments. The Term Commitment of each Term Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Term Lender’s Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01.

Section 2.07.    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a)    The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Term Lender, in quarterly installments on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first full quarter after the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, a principal amount in respect of the Term Loans equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans with the final installment on the Maturity Date equal to the remaining outstanding amount of the Term Loans.

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

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

(d)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Term Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Term Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Term Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.08.    Prepayment of Loans.

(a)    Voluntary.

(i)    The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to voluntarily prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part without premium or penalty, subject to clause (c) below, upon notice to the Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. In either case, such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of

-48-

the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. In the case of each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08(a)(i), the Borrower may in its sole discretion select the Loans (and the order of maturity of principal payments) to be repaid, and such payment shall be paid to the appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share of such Loans. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10.

(ii)    Notwithstanding anything in any Collateral Document to the contrary, so long as (x) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) purchases or payments of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08(a)(ii) are not funded with the proceeds of the loans incurred under the ABL Facility, the Borrower may (i) purchase outstanding Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis through open market purchases or (ii) prepay the outstanding Term Loans, which shall, in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, be automatically and permanently canceled immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower, and in the case of this clause (ii) only, which shall be prepaid on the following basis:

The Borrower shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Loans at a discount to par pursuant to a Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers (any such prepayment, the “Discounted Term Loan Prepayment”), in each case made in accordance with this Section 2.08(a)(ii); provided that the Borrower shall not initiate any action under this Section 2.08(a)(ii) in order to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment unless (I) at least ten (10) Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Term Loan Prepayment as a result of a prepayment made by the Borrower on the Applicable Discounted Prepayment Effective Date; or (II) at least three (3) Business Days shall have passed since the date the Borrower was notified that no Term Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loan at the Specified Discount, within the Discount Range or at any discount to par value, as applicable, or in the case of Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, the date of the Borrower’s election not to accept any Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(1)    Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to (x) each Term Lender and/or (y) each Term Lender with respect to any class of Term Loans on an individual class basis, (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”) with respect to each applicable class of Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified Discounts and/or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.08(a)(ii)(B)), (III) the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by a date selected by the Borrower that is no earlier than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date”).

-49-

Each Term Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its outstanding Term Loans of the applicable class at the Specified Discount and, if so (such accepting Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount of such Lender’s Term Loans of the applicable class to be prepaid at such Offered Discount. Each acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Term Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept the applicable Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment.

If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrower will make a prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this paragraph (B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and classes of Term Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to subsection (2) above; provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three (3) Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the Borrower of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date and (III) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount, class and Type of Term Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and such Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

(2)    Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to (x) each Term Lender and/or (y) each Term Lender with respect to any class of Term Loans on an individual class basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”), the class or classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans with respect to each relevant class of Term Loans willing to be prepaid by the Borrower (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.08(a)(ii)(C)), (III) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Discount

-50-

Range Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on a Business Day specified by the Borrower which shall be no earlier than the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify a discount to par within the Discount Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable class or classes and the maximum aggregate principal amount and classes of such Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount. Any Term Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range.

The Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the Applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and shall determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection (C).

The Borrower agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Participating Lender”).

If there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the classes specified in such Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the Borrower of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the

-51-

Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount and classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and classes of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

(3)    Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to (x) each Term Lender and/or (y) each Lender with respect to any class of Term Loans on an individual class basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) and the class or classes of Term Loans the Borrower is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.08(a)(ii)(D)), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and classes of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.

The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrower shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Borrower (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrower elects to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event later than by the third (3^rd) Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrower from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (2) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrower shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrower by the Acceptance Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

-52-

Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the classes of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrower at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.08(a)(ii)(D). If the Borrower elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower agrees to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The Borrower will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the classes specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (I) the Borrower of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the classes to be prepaid to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the classes of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

In connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses from the Borrower in connection therewith.

If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with subsections (B) through (D) above, the Borrower shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount

-53-

Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 p.m., New York time, on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant class(es) of Loans on a pro rata basis across such installments. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08(a)(ii) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, and shall be applied to the relevant Term Loans of such Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement. The aggregate principal amount of the Classes and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the classes of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment. In connection with each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.08(a)(ii), the Borrower shall make a customary representation to the assigning or assignee Term Lenders, as applicable, that it does not possess material non-public information (or material information of the type that would not be public if the Borrower were a publicly-reporting company) with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that either (1) has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) or (2) if not disclosed to the Term Lenders, would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or otherwise be material to (A) a Term Lender’s decision to participate in any such Discounted Term Loan Prepayment or (B) the market price of such Term Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, no such representation will be required in the case of open market purchases by Affiliated Lenders, which may possess such material non-public information), or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made.

To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this Section 2.08(a)(ii), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything in any Collateral Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.08(a)(ii), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.

Each of the Borrower and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 2.08(a)(ii) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.08(a)(ii) as well as activities of the Auction Agent. In the event the Administrative Agent is not the Auction Agent with respect to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on any determination by the Auction Agent and shall have no liability to the Borrower, the Auction Agent or any Lender in connection therewith.

-54-

The Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses, any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment to a Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.08(a)(ii) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01 or otherwise).

(b)    Mandatory.

(i)    Within ten Business Days following each date on which the Borrower and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives any proceeds from (x) any incurrence of Indebtedness (excluding any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.01) or (y) the issuance of any Disqualified Equity Interests, in each case, after the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.08(b)(iv).

(ii)    Within ten Business Days following each date on which the Borrower and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives Net Cash Proceeds (A) from a disposition of any property or assets in an Asset Sale occurring after the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date or (B) with respect to any Casualty Event occurring after the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.08(b)(iv); provided that the Net Cash Proceeds from any SNF Sale shall not be deemed received until the earlier of (x) public announcement by the Borrower of the completion of the sale of the entire skilled nursing facility business of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries and (y) October 31, 2018.

(iii)    Within 15 days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) (commencing with Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2014) and the related compliance certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c), the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid Loans equal to (A) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the Fiscal Year covered by such financial statements minus (B) the aggregate principal amount of all voluntary prepayments of Loans and ABL Loans (in the case of the ABL Loans, only to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction to the “Commitments” as defined in the ABL Facility) during such period, in each case to the extent such prepayments are not funded with proceeds of Indebtedness, shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.08(b)(iv).

(iv)    Subject to Section 2.08(b)(v), each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) shall be applied pro rata among the Loans. Each prepayment of any tranche of Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(b) shall be applied to such tranche first, to accrued interest and fees due on the amount of the prepayment of such Loans; second, to the scheduled installments thereof occurring within the immediately succeeding eight fiscal quarters in the direct order of maturity thereof; and third, to the applicable remaining installments due pursuant to Section 2.07 on a pro rata basis, in each case, to be allocated among the appropriate Lenders in accordance with such Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of an event described in Section 2.08(b) (ii), the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay or repurchase Permitted Pari Passu Notes or Junior Lien Indebtedness or Permitted Pari Passu Term Loan Indebtedness with a Lien on the Collateral ranking pari passu with the Lien securing the Secured Obligations to the extent any Permitted Pari Passu Notes or Junior Lien Indebtedness or Permitted Pari Passu Term Loan Indebtedness requires the issuer or borrower thereof to prepay or make an offer to purchase such Permitted Pari Passu Notes or Junior Lien

-55-

Indebtedness or Permitted Pari Passu Term Loan Indebtedness with the proceeds of such event described Section 2.08(b)(ii), in each case in amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of Permitted Pari Passu Notes or Junior Lien Indebtedness or Permitted Pari Passu Term Loan Indebtedness with a Lien on the Collateral ranking pari passu with the Liens securing the Secured Obligations and with respect to which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to purchase exists and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Permitted Pari Passu Notes or Junior Lien Indebtedness and/or Permitted Pari Passu Term Loan Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.

(v)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clause (i)(y), (ii) or (iii) of this this Section 2.08(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender 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 mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clause (i)(y), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.08(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory 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 mandatory repayment of Term Loans. Subject to any requirements of any other Indebtedness, any Declined Proceeds remaining after offering such Declined Proceeds to Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof may be retained by the Borrower.

(c)    Premium. In the event that, on or prior to the six month anniversary of the Sixth Amendment and Restatement Date, the Borrower (x) makes any prepayment of 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 Lender, a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the principal amount of the Loans being prepaid or refinanced.

Section 2.09.    Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay on the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date to the Agent for the account of each Lender party to this Agreement on the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Term Loan, a closing fee (the “Closing Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.25% of such Lender’s Term Loan made on the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date. Such Closing Fee will, to the extent such Lender funds its Term Loan, be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter and, in the case of the Term Loans, such Closing Fee shall be netted against Term Loans made by such Lender.

Section 2.10.    Interest.

(a)    The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b)    The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

-56-

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts outstanding hereunder and not paid when due in accordance with the provisions hereof shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.10 or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount (including overdue interest), 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.10.

(d)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.10 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e)    All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f)    For the avoidance of doubt, in respect of periods prior to the Fourth Amendment and Restatement Date, interest on the Loans shall accrue at the rate previously in effect hereunder prior to giving effect to the Fourth Amendment and Restatement Agreement.

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

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

the Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.12.    Increased Costs.

(a)    If any Change in Law shall:

impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);

-57-

impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender; or

impose any additional Tax liability (other than in respect of any Excluded Taxes, any Taxes excluded from Other Taxes pursuant to the definition thereof, or any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified under Section 2.14) with respect to any Financing Document or any of its obligations thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable thereunder;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such amounts under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall only be payable by the Borrower to the applicable Lender under this Section 2.12(a) so long as the Lender imposes such charges under other syndicated credit facilities involving similarly situated borrowers that such Lender is a lender under.

(b)    If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that such amounts shall only be payable by the Borrower to the applicable Lender under this Section 2.12(b) so long as the Lender imposes such charges under other syndicated credit facilities involving similarly situated borrowers that such Lender is a lender under.

(c)    A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.13.    Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked

-58-

under Section 2.08(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.14.    Taxes.

(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Financing Document shall (except as required by applicable law) be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes; provided that if any Credit Party or other applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the Agent or Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)    The Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender (each, a “Tax Indemnitee”), within 10 days after written demand therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Financing Document and for any Other Taxes payable by such Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or with respect to any amounts payable under this Section 2.14) and, in each case, any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the event that a Credit Party pays additional amounts under Section 2.14(a) or makes an indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 2.14(c) to a Tax Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, such Tax Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with all reasonable requests of such Credit Party to pursue a refund of the Indemnified Tax or Other Tax at issue, at the sole expense of such Credit Party, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of the Tax Indemnitee such cooperation shall not subject such Tax Indemnitee to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense or otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Tax Indemnitee and (ii) based on advice of such Credit Party’s independent accountants or external legal counsel, there is a reasonable basis for such Credit Party to contest with the applicable Governmental Authority the imposition of such Indemnified

-59-

Taxes or Other Taxes. Any resulting refund shall be governed by Section 2.14(f). This Section 2.14(c) shall not be construed to require a Tax Indemnitee to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person.

(d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)    Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, any withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under any Financing Document. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances (including, where applicable, by reason of a participation as described in Section 10.04(c)) renders such documentation (including any specific documentation required below in this Section 2.14(c)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to do so.

Without limiting the foregoing:

Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

two properly completed and duly signed original copies of the applicable IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party and such other documentation as required under the Code,

two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit J (any such certificate, a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of the applicable IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms).

to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a Participating Lender), IRS Form W-8IMY (or

-60-

any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, the applicable IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.14(e) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if such Foreign Lender is a partnership (and is not a participating Lender) and if one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such partner(s)), or

two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, any United States federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under any Financing Document.

If a payment made to a Lender under any Financing Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under such Sections and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f)    If the Administrative Agent or a Lender has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, 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 Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

Section 2.15.    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a)    The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be

-61-

deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (subject, in the event that an Enforcement Notice is in effect, to the provisions of the Security Agreement) (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d)    Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.04(b), 2.15(d), or 10.03 then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

-62-

Section 2.16.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.17.    Release of Security Interest in Assets Being Sold. If no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no Enforcement Notice is in effect, upon any sale or other disposition of Collateral that does not violate Section 7.03(c) hereof, the Security Interests in such Collateral shall automatically be released and at the request of the relevant Grantor, the Agent shall execute and deliver a release of such specific assets pursuant to Section 25(f) of the Security Agreement.

Section 2.18.    Incremental Term Loans.

(a)    The Borrower may at any time or from time to time, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more additional tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) in accordance with this Section 2.18 in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed (i) an amount such that the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, as of the date of the effectiveness of any such Incremental Term Loans, would be equal to or less than 3.50:1.00, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such incurrence (treating any proposed increase in revolving commitments under the ABL Facility pursuant to Section 2.20 thereof as fully drawn and loans thereunder outstanding and provided that any proceeds of such Incremental Term Loans and any other substantially simultaneous debt incurrences shall not be netted from Consolidated Senior Secured Indebtedness for purposes of calculating the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio), plus (ii) $100,000,000 (less the aggregate principal amount of all increases in the revolving commitments provided under the ABL Facility incurred after the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.20 thereof); provided that (i) any amounts incurred under Section 2.18(a)(ii)

-63-

concurrently with any amounts incurred under Section 2.18(a)(i) will not count as Consolidated Senior Secured Indebtedness for purposes of calculating the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for purposes of Section 2.18(a)(i) and (ii) with respect to any Incremental Term Loans the primary purpose of which is to finance an acquisition permitted by this Agreement, the amount available under Section 2.18(a)(i) shall be calculated, at the Borrower’s option, either at the time (1) of the effectiveness of such Incremental Term Loans or (2) a definitive agreement is entered into with respect to the transaction to be financed by such Incremental Term Loans giving pro forma effect to such acquisition and the incurrence of such Indebtedness as if each occurred on such date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may incur Incremental Term Loans under this Section 2.18 in reliance on Section 2.18(a)(i) to the extent permitted prior to using Section 2.18(a)(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower has not included in such notice to the Administrative Agent for any Incremental Term Loans an explicit election to incur such Incremental Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.18(a)(i) or Section 2.18(a)(ii), then the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to incur such Incremental Term Loans under Section 2.18(a)(i) to the extent permitted if Incremental Term Loans are permitted to be incurred under such clause.

(b)    Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $25,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less if such amount represents all remaining availability for Incremental Term Loans). In addition, (i) each tranche of the Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment and have the equal benefit of Guarantees and Collateral with the Term Loans, (ii) such tranche of the Incremental Term Loans shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the Maturity Date and its Weighted Average Life to Maturity shall not be shorter than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans, (iii) at the time of and immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (provided that, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans the primary purpose of which is to finance an acquisition permitted by this Agreement, the requirement under this clause (iii) shall be that no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or (m) shall have occurred and be continuing), (iv) the representations and warranties of each Credit Party set forth in the Financing Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans (it being understood that, to the extent that any such representation and warranty specifically refers to an earlier date, it shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and any such representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “material adverse effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects (after giving effect to any such qualification therein)) on and as of the date of such Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the only representations and warranties of each Credit Party that shall be required to be true and correct with respect to any Incremental Term Loans the primary purpose of which is to finance an acquisition permitted by this Agreement shall be the Specified Representations (conformed as necessary for such acquisition), (v) at the time of incurrence of any Incremental Term Loan and immediately after giving effect thereto, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof on a Pro Forma Basis, (vi) the interest rate margins and, subject to clause (B) in the proviso, the amortization schedule for any Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders of such Incremental Term Loans and (vii) except as set forth in clauses (ii) and (vi) above, to the extent the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans are inconsistent from those of the Term Loans, such differences shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and set forth in the applicable Incremental Amendment; provided that, (A) in the event that the interest rate margins applicable to any Incremental Term Loans are more than 50 basis points greater than the then Applicable Rate for the Term Loans, the then Applicable Rate for the Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the interest rate margins for the Incremental Term Loans are no more than 50 basis points greater than the then Applicable Rate for the Term Loans (provided that in determining the Applicable Rate applicable to the Term Loans and the interest rate margins applicable to the Incremental Term Loans, (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders of the Term Loans or lenders of the Incremental Term Loans in

-64-

the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four (4)-year life to maturity), (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the Third Amendment and Restatement Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners (or their affiliates) in connection with the Term Loans or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of the Incremental Term Loans shall be excluded and (z) if the LIBO Rate floor applicable to the Incremental Term Loans is higher than the LIBO Rate floor applicable to the Term Loans, the amount of such difference shall be deemed to be an increase to the Applicable Rate for the Incremental Term Loans for the purposes of determining compliance with this clause (A); and (B) the amortization schedule applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereof, in each case so long as the Weighted Average Life to Maturity for any tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans. Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18(b) shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans.

(c)    Incremental Term Loans may be made, by any existing Lender (and each existing Term Lender shall have the right, but not an obligation, to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan, on terms permitted in this Section 2.18 and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution, an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans if such consent would be required under Section 10.04(b) for an assignment of Loans as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender.

(d)    Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans shall become Term Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Facility Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Term Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Agents or Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Facility 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 2.18. The Borrower may use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(e)    This Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.15 or 10.02 to the contrary.

Section 2.19.    Refinancing Amendments; Maturity Extension.

(a)    At any time after the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Approved Fund, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans) in the form of Other Term Loans pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Loans hereunder, (ii) will have such pricing and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the lenders thereof, (iii) will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Term Loans being refinanced, (iv) will have terms and conditions that are substantially identical to, or less favorable to the investors providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness than, the Refinanced Debt and (v) the proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of outstanding Term Loans being so refinanced; provided, further, that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for

-65-

any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is issued, incurred or obtained. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to (x) at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such Refinancing Amendment, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) the representations and warranties of each Credit Party set forth in the Financing Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on the date of incurrence of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (it being understood that, to the extent that any such representation and warranty specifically refers to an earlier date, it shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and any such representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “material adverse effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects (after giving effect to any such qualification therein)) on and as of the date of such Refinancing Amendment and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). Each tranche of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.19 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans subject thereto as Other Term Loans). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Facility 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 2.19.

(b)    At any time after the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower and any Lender may agree, by notice to the Administrative Agent (each such notice, an “Extension Notice”), to extend the maturity date of any of such Lender’s Term Loans to the extended maturity date specified in such Extension Notice.

(c)    This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.15 or Section 10.02 to the contrary.

-66-

Section 3.02.    Corporate and Governmental Authorization; No Contravention. The execution and delivery by the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor of the Financing Documents to which it is a party, its performance of its obligations thereunder and, with respect to the Borrower, its Borrowings hereunder, are within its corporate or other powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official (other than filings necessary to perfect the Liens created by the Collateral Documents) and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any Applicable Laws or any provision of its Organizational Documents, or of any agreement or other instrument binding upon it or result in or require the imposition of any Lien (other than the Liens created by the Collateral Documents) on any of its assets.

This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower, and the other Financing Documents, when executed and delivered as contemplated by this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of each Credit Party that is a party thereto, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by general principles of equity and by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

Section 3.04.    Security Interests. As of the Sixth Amendment and Restatement Date, the Collateral Documents create valid Security Interests in the Collateral to the extent set forth therein which Security Interests are perfected to the extent such Security Interests may be perfected under the UCC by the filing of financing statements in the offices specified in the Perfection Certificate (as defined in the Security Agreement) or the taking of possession or control by the Collateral Agent, to the extent required by the Collateral Documents and this Agreement, of such Collateral which may be perfected only by possession or control.

Section 3.06.    Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened against or affecting, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official (i) in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) which in any manner questions the validity of any Financing Document.

Section 3.07.    Compliance with ERISA. Each member of the ERISA Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan. No member of the ERISA Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or made any amendment to any Plan, which has resulted or could result in the imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Code or (iii) incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA.

Section 3.08.    Taxes. Each Credit Party has filed all material Tax returns that are required to be filed by it (taking into account valid extensions) and has paid prior to delinquency all material Taxes due and payable by it (including in its capacity as withholding agent), except such Taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith (if adequate reserves for such Taxes have been provided in accordance with GAAP).

Section 3.09.    Compliance with Laws. The Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors are in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws (including without limitation Medicaid Regulations and Medicare Regulations), other than such laws, rules or regulations (i) the validity or applicability of which the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor is contesting in good faith or (ii) the failure to comply with which could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.10.    No Regulatory Restrictions on Borrowing. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor is (i) an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (ii) otherwise subject to any regulatory scheme which restricts its ability to incur Indebtedness hereunder.

(a)    From time to time, the Borrower reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, in the course of which reviews it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs, including Environmental Liabilities. On the basis of such reviews, the Borrower has reasonably concluded that the foregoing associated liabilities and costs are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)    Except to the extent that the Environmental Liabilities of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors that relate to or could result from the matters referred to in this Section 3.11(b) would not

-68-

exceed $2,000,000 for any one occurrence, or $10,000,000 for any occurrences in the aggregate, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors and their respective operations and properties are in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, and no notice, notification, demand, request for information, citation, summons, complaint or order with respect to Hazardous Materials or any violation of or liability under Environmental Laws is in existence or, to the knowledge of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, proposed, threatened or anticipated with respect to or in connection with the business or operations now or formerly conducted or to be conducted by, or in connection with any properties now or to the knowledge of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, formerly owned, leased or operated by, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and there are no facts, circumstances or events which could reasonably be expected to result in any such notice, notification, demand, request for information, citation, summons, complaint or order.

Although any projections (and the underlying assumptions) by necessity involve uncertainties and approximations, the Borrower believes as of the Closing Date that the projections set forth in the Information Memorandum are reasonable (and the significant assumptions upon which they are based are stated in summary form therein), and such projections provide reasonable estimations of the future performance of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, subject, as stated above, to the uncertainties and approximations inherent in any projections. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders in writing (including by way of reports filed in accordance with Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act) any and all facts which are known to it and which have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.13.    Information as to Equity Interest and Instruments. Schedule 1.01B hereto sets forth a correct and complete list, as of the close of business on the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, of each Subsidiary of the Borrower, its outstanding Equity Interests, each owner thereof and the percentage thereof owned by such owner.

Section 3.14.    Representations in Other Financing Documents. The representations of each Lien Grantor in the Security Agreement and in each Security Agreement Supplement (if any) signed by it are true.

Section 3.15.    Margin Stock.

(a)    Margin Stock will not at any time represent more than 25% of the value (as determined by any reasonable method) of the assets subject to any provision of the Financing Documents that restricts the right or ability of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of Margin Stock owned by them or requires a prepayment of Loans upon the exercise of any such right.

-69-

(a)    The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all real and personal property material to its business (including all its property subject to the Mortgages), except for Permitted Liens and defects that in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)    The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for infringements that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

such Subsidiary does not own any capital stock of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary;

-79-

such Subsidiary does not hold any Indebtedness of, or any Lien on any property of, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case except to the extent permitted by Section 7.01 or 7.02, respectively;

at the time of designation, the designation would be permitted under Section 7.08 and deemed an Investment in an Unrestricted Subsidiary or the assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary thereunder;

to the extent the Indebtedness of the Subsidiary is not Non-Recourse Debt, any Guarantee or other credit support thereof by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under Sections 7.01 and 7.08;

the Subsidiary is not party to any transaction or arrangement with the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that would not be permitted under Section 7.04; and

neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any obligation to subscribe for additional Equity Interests of the Subsidiary or to maintain or preserve its financial condition or cause it to achieve specified levels of operating results except to the extent permitted by Sections 7.01 and 7.08.

Once so designated the Subsidiary will remain an Unrestricted Subsidiary, subject to paragraph (b).

(b)    If as of the date of the Most Recent Financial Statements:

(i)    the conditions specified in paragraph (a) (other than the Designation Test) are not satisfied, the Borrower shall immediately designate one or more Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent required to ensure that such conditions would have been satisfied as of the date of the Most Recent Financial Statements, subject to the consequences set forth in paragraph (d); and/or

(ii)    the Designation Test was not satisfied and was also not satisfied as of the date of the immediately preceding Most Recent Financial Statements, then solely for purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.01 on the date of the Most Recent Financial Statements, the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA shall exclude Consolidated EBITDA from Unrestricted Subsidiaries (other than any Unrestricted Subsidiary that is an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 5.06(f)(A) or Section 5.06(f)(B) (so long as the Borrower is in compliance with the requirements of Section 5.06(f)(ii))) in excess of 5% of Consolidated EBITDA (after giving effect to such exclusion); provided that this Section 5.06(b)(ii) shall not affect the requirement to satisfy the requirements in Section 5.06(a) to designate an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(iii)    The Borrower may designate an Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the designation would not cause a Default.

(c)    Upon a Restricted Subsidiary becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary,

all existing Investments of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries therein (valued at the Borrower’s proportional share of the fair market value of its assets less liabilities) will be deemed made at that time;

all existing capital stock or Indebtedness of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary held by it will be deemed incurred at that time, and all Liens on property of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary held by it will be deemed incurred at that time;

-80-

all existing transactions between it and the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed entered into at that time;

it is released at that time from the Security Agreement; and

it will cease to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement as a Restricted Subsidiary.

(d)    Upon an Unrestricted Subsidiary becoming a Restricted Subsidiary,

all of its Indebtedness will be deemed incurred at that time for purposes of Section 7.01, but will not be considered the sale or issuance of Equity Interests for purposes of Sections 7.03(c) or 7.06;

Investments therein previously charged under Section 7.08 will be credited thereunder;

it must issue a Guarantee of the Loans pursuant to Section 5.08 and execute a Security Agreement Supplement pursuant to Section 5.09; and

it will thenceforward be subject to the provisions of this Agreement as a Restricted Subsidiary.

(e)    Any designation by the Borrower of a Subsidiary of the Borrower as a Restricted Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Agent by promptly filing with the Agent a certificate of an Executive Officer and a Financial Officer certifying that the designation complied with the foregoing provisions.

(f)    In addition to the ability to designate Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with and subject to the conditions of Section 5.06(a), the Borrower may designate (A) an Escrow Subsidiary and (B) any Restricted Subsidiary that is or is about to become an Excluded Subsidiary pursuant to clause (ii) of that definition, as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and each Escrow Subsidiary and any such Restricted Subsidiary shall be excluded from any calculations made, or any conditions specified, in paragraphs (a) and (b); provided that, in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that is or is about to become an Excluded Subsidiary:

(i)    at the time of designation, the designation would be permitted under Section 7.08 and deemed an Investment in a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor or the assets of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor; and

(ii)    promptly following the consummation of the transaction as a result of which such Restricted Subsidiary has become an Excluded Subsidiary, and in any event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after its designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall be redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary;

provided further that, during the time period that such Restricted Subsidiary is an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (1) it shall not take any action, and the Borrower shall not suffer to exist any condition, that would not be permitted if such Unrestricted Subsidiary were a Restricted Subsidiary that is an Excluded Subsidiary and (2) such Unrestricted Subsidiary shall otherwise be considered a Restricted Subsidiary that is an Excluded Subsidiary for purposes of the representations, covenants and defaults in the Financing Documents.

-81-

If any Subsidiary Guarantor that is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 5.06(f)(B) requests the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to provide any evidence or confirm its release of the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor or the release of any Collateral by such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Borrower shall provide to the Collateral Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer confirming that such Subsidiary Guarantor’s status as an Excluded Subsidiary and Unrestricted Subsidiary is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 5.07.    Books and Records; Inspection Rights. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities.

Section 5.08.    Guarantees by Future Restricted Subsidiaries. Within 30 Business Days after any Person (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) becomes or is deemed to have become a Restricted Subsidiary or ceases to be an Excluded Partnership (unless such Person is or shall become an Excluded Subsidiary upon ceasing to be an Excluded Partnership) or an Excluded Subsidiary (provided that such Person remains a Subsidiary), the Borrower shall (i) cause such Person to guarantee the Borrower’s Obligations hereunder pursuant to the Security Agreement and (ii) deliver to the Agent such legal opinions (which, unless the Agent reasonably requests otherwise, may be delivered by in-house counsel to the Borrower) and other documents as the Agent may reasonably request relating to the existence of such Person, the corporate or other authority for and validity of its guarantee pursuant to the Security Agreement and any other matters relevant thereto, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor at all times to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower may, at any time in its sole discretion, cause any Excluded Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Guarantor upon written notice to the Administrative Agent.

Section 5.09.    Future Assets to Be Added to Collateral and Further Assurances.

(a)    Within 30 Business Days after any Person becomes or is deemed to have become a Subsidiary, an Insurance Subsidiary or ceases to be an Excluded Partnership (provided that such Person remains a Subsidiary) after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall cause all Equity Interests in such Person owned by the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors to be pledged under the Security Agreement; provided that (x) if regulatory consent is required to permit any such pledge of Equity Interests in an Insurance Subsidiary, (i) such pledge shall not be required unless such regulatory consent is reasonably obtainable and (ii) if such regulatory consent is reasonably obtainable, the Borrower shall exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain it and shall not be required to pledge such Equity Interests unless and until it is obtained, (y) if such Person is a Foreign Subsidiary, such Equity Interests must only be pledged if they are further directly held by a Credit Party, and only 66% of the voting stock of any such Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to be pledged and (z) if such Person is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, the grant of a security interest in the Equity Interests thereof would not constitute a material violation of a valid and enforceable restriction in favor of a third party.

(b)    If at any time after the Closing Date the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor acquires a fee interest in a Material Real Property (other than any Specified Property) that is not included in the Collateral, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after it or such Subsidiary Guarantor acquires such

-82-

Material Real Property, provide notice thereof to the Agent and, within 60 days after it or such Subsidiary Guarantor acquires such Material Real Property, cause such Material Real Property to be added to the Collateral by delivering to the Agent a Mortgage with respect thereto and the appropriate UCC form for the related fixture filing, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and deliver to the Agent such documentation as would have been required by Section 6(b) of the Third Amendment and Restatement Agreement.

(c)    Within 30 Business Days (except in respect of clause (iii) below, where the period shall be 60 Business Days) after any Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor) or ceases to be an Excluded Partnership (unless such Person is or shall become an Excluded Subsidiary upon ceasing to be an Excluded Partnership) or an Excluded Subsidiary (provided that such Person remains a Subsidiary), the Borrower will (i) cause such Person to sign and deliver a Security Agreement Supplement granting a Lien or Liens on substantially all the personal property included in its assets (with the exceptions set forth in the first proviso at the end of Section 3 of the Security Agreement and such other exceptions as the Agent shall approve in writing) to the Agent to secure its Secured Obligations, (ii) cause such Person to comply with the provisions thereof and of the Security Agreement and (iii) cause the Material Real Property owned by such Person to be added to the Collateral by delivering to the Agent a Mortgage with respect thereto and the appropriate UCC form for the related fixture filing, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and any other items as may be required pursuant to Section 5.09(f).

(d)    If any Specified Property referred to in Schedule 1.01H with a book value exceeding $10,000,000 (in the case of a hospital) or $5,000,000 (in all other cases) has not been sold on or prior to the date with respect to such Specified Property indicated on Schedule 1.01H (other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower), the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event by no later than 45 Business Days after such date indicated on Schedule 1.01H) cause such Specified Property to be added to the Collateral by delivering to the Agent a Mortgage with respect thereto and any other items as may be required pursuant to Section 5.09(f). Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, prior to such time, the Borrower shall ensure that no Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances) over any such Specified Property is granted to any Person.

(e)    If at any time the granting of a pledge or other Security Interest over the Equity Interests in Cornerstone is not prohibited by Cayman Islands law, the Borrower shall ensure that a pledge or such other security interest over such Equity Interests is granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and that stock certificates evidencing such Equity Interests are delivered as soon as practicable to the Agent together with signed stock powers or other appropriate instruments of transfer relating thereto.

(i) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due, or shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing; or (ii) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or an order for relief shall be entered against it under the Federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect; or

any Person or group of Persons (within the meaning of Section 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act) shall have acquired beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Borrower; or, during any period of 24 consecutive calendar months, individuals who were members of the board of directors of the Borrower on the first day of such period (together with any new directors whose election or appointment by such members or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of the Borrower was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) shall cease to constitute a majority of the board of directors of the Borrower,

then, and in every such event the Agent or the Required Lenders may:

by notice to the Borrower terminate the Term Commitments and they shall thereupon terminate,

by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans and all other amounts in respect of the Obligations (in each case together with accrued interest thereon) to be, and they shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower, and

exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Financing Documents or Applicable Law.

provided that if any event specified above in Section 8.01(m) occurs, then without notice to the Borrower or any other act by the Agent or any Lender, the Term Commitments shall thereupon terminate and all the Loans and all other amounts in respect of the Obligations (in each case together with accrued interest thereon) shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

Section 8.02.    Notice of Default. The Agent shall give notice to the Borrower under Section 8.01 promptly upon being requested to do so by the Required Lenders and shall thereupon notify all the Lenders thereof.

Concurrently with the delivery of any such Enforcement Notice to the Collateral Agent, all outstanding Loans and all other amounts in respect of the Obligations not theretofore declared due and payable shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

ARTICLE 9

THE AGENTS

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its agent and authorizes JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, (i) to sign and deliver the Collateral Documents and (ii) to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of the Financing Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The bank serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Agent hereunder.

The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Financing Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the

-104-

Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Financing Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Financing Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Financing Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Financing Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Financing Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Financing Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent, or (vi) the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or the validity, perfection, recordation, priority or enforceability of any Lien on any of the Collateral.

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or to enforce compliance with any provision of any Loan Document relating to Disqualified Institutions or (y) have any liability with respect to, or arising out of, any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations

-105-

hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article 9 and Section 10.03 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 it was acting as Agent.

To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.14, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the 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 other Facility Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Fourth Amendment and Restatement Date, the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat and the Administrative Agent shall treat all Loans (including any Loans already outstanding) as not qualifying as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Financing Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Nothing in any Financing Document shall impose on any of Citibank, N.A., Barclays Bank, PLC or Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Senior Funding, Inc., in its capacity as Co-Syndication Agent, or on any of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Senior Funding, Inc. or Capital One, National Association, in its capacity as Co-Documentation Agent, any duty or responsibility whatsoever.

The Lender Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of

-106-

collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Lender Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles (ii) each of the Lender Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Lender Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Lender Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lender Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Lender Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Lender Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Lender Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Lender Party (and/or any designee of the Lender Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

Section 10.02.    Waivers; Amendments.

(a)    No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under the Financing Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Financing Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)    No Financing Document or provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Financing Document, by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the parties thereto with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall:

release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Security Interests or release all or substantially all of the Restricted Subsidiaries from their obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees (except in each case as expressly provided in the Financing Documents as in effect on the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date) without the written consent of each Lender;

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent without the prior written consent of the Agent.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.02, the Borrower and the Agent may, without the input or consent of the other Lenders, (i) effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Financing Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Agent to effect the provisions of Section 2.18 (it being understood that no such amendments shall amend the provisions of Section 2.18), (ii) enter into any amendment of any Financing Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Lender Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Lender Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with Applicable Law and (iii) effect changes to this Agreement that are necessary and appropriate to provide for the mechanics contemplated by the offering process set forth in Section 2.08(a)(ii).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.03(b), the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnitee against (or to hold an Indemnitee harmless from) any and all Losses incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of the third to last paragraph in Article 9.

-110-

(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date Transactions any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than five days after written demand therefor.

Section 10.04.    Successors and Assigns.

(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by 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. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)    (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (which assignees shall be financial institutions in the business of making regular extensions of credit or making investments in syndicated loans, it being understood that neither the Borrower (or any of its Affiliates) (except as provided in clause (e) below) nor any natural Person shall be a Lender)) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

the Borrower, provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

the Agent, provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund.

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

except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans, the amount of Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000, and, immediately after giving effect to such assignment, the assigning Lender shall have (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) Loans aggregating at least $1,000,000, in each case unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

-111-

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;

the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more “credit contacts” to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and Applicable Laws, including federal and state securities laws; and

(A) promptly prior to the effectiveness of such assignment, the assigning Lender shall have requested and received the most recent Disqualified Institutions List from the Administrative Agent and (B) no assignments shall be made to Defaulting Lenders, Disqualified Institutions (as set forth on the most recent update to the Disqualified Institutions List delivered to the assigning Lender) or natural persons.

(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, 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 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv)    The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices 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 Term Commitment of, and principal amount (and related interest amounts) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the 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 the Borrower and any Lender, 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 paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)    (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) (it being understood that neither the Borrower (or any of its Affiliates) nor any natural Person shall be a Participant) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Commitment and the 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, (C) the Borrower, the 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 and (D) (x) promptly prior to the sale of any Participation, such Lender shall have requested and received the most recent Disqualified Institutions List from the Administrative Agent and (y) no Lender may sell a Participation to a Disqualified Institution (as set forth on the most recent update to the Disqualified Institutions List delivered to such Participating Lender). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Financing Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Financing Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that (1) increases the Term Commitments participated to such Participant, (2) reduces the amount of principal, interest or fees participated or payable to such Participant, (3) extends the Maturity Date or the due date of any amortization, interest or fee payment payable to such Participant, (4) releases the Guarantees of the Obligations of all or substantially of the Subsidiary Guarantors or all or substantially all of the Collateral or (5) changes the voting rights granted to such Participant pursuant to this Section 10.04(c). Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections and Section 2.16 and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(e) shall be delivered solely to the Participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells participations to a Participant, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a Register of all such Participants. The entries in the participant register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the participant register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Credit Party and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility to determine the compliance of any Lender with the requirements of this Section 10.04(c)(i) (it being understood that each Lender shall be responsible for ensuring its own compliance with the requirements of this Section).

(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14 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 (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a Security Interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 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.

-113-

(e)    Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Financing Documents to the contrary, any Lender may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower and the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower may, from time to time, prepay or purchase Term Loans, in each case through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.08(a)(ii) or (y) open market purchases on a non-pro rata basis; provided, that:

(x) if the assignee is a Subsidiary of the Borrower, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, the applicable assignee shall automatically be deemed to have contributed or transferred the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower; or (y) if the assignee is the Borrower (including through contribution or transfers set forth in clause (x)), (a) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to any the Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of the remaining Lenders shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by the Borrower and (c) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register;

each Person that purchases any Term Loans pursuant to Section 10.04(e)(i)(x) or (y) shall represent and warrant to the selling Term Lender that it does not possess material non-public information (or material information of the type that would not be public if the Borrower were a publicly-reporting company) with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that either (1) has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) or (2) if not disclosed to the Term Lenders, would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or otherwise be material to a Term Lender’s decision to participate in any such assignment; and

purchases of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 10.04(e) may not be funded with the proceeds of the loans incurred under the ABL Facility.

Section 10.05.    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties in the Financing Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to the Financing Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Financing Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or unsatisfied and so long as the Term Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 10.03 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Term Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

-114-

Section 10.06.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Financing Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Subject to the limitations contained in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith by facsimile transmission or electronic “.pdf” file or similar electronic format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such document or instrument, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

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

Section 10.08.    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 10.09.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)    This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

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

-115-

(c)    The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Financing Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in any Financing Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 10.10.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY FINANCING DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

-117-

respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
