Commitments, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but without any obligation) to make Loans to the Borrower, on behalf of all Lenders, which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Credit Judgment, deems necessary or desirable (x) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (y) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations or (z) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.05) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (any such Loans being referred to herein as “Protective Advances”); provided that no Protective Advance shall be made if after giving effect thereto (A) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or (B) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Protective Advances would exceed the lesser of (1) $50,000,000 and (2) 5.0% of the Line Cap in effect at the time of the making of such Protective Advance. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder and shall be guaranteed and secured as provided in the Security Documents. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. The Administrative Agent may at any time (I) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.01(a) and to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, request, on behalf of the Borrower, the Lenders to make ABR Revolving Loans to the Borrower to repay any Protective Advance made to the Borrower or (II) require the Lenders to acquire participations in any Protective Advance as provided in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section.

(ii) The Administrative Agent may by notice given not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Protective Advances outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Protective Advances in which the Lenders will be required to participate and each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Protective Advances. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, promptly upon receipt of notice as provided above (and in any event, if such notice is received by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day and if received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Protective Advances. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Protective Advances pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including nonsatisfaction of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available

funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph). Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower (or other person on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Protective Advance after receipt by the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph to the extent of their interests therein; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Administrative Agent if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Protective Advance pursuant to this paragraph shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to repay such Protective Advance.

SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or Section 2.02(f), the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.01(b), 2.02(f), 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than ten (or such greater number as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings. Each Protective Advance shall be an ABR Loan.

(c) Except with respect to Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or Section 2.02(f), each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall not repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount within three Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing, on demand, from the Borrower. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

(f) If an Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by Section 2.23(e) within the time specified in such Section, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that (i) if the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in Sections 4.02(b) and (c) have been satisfied, such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan of such Lender and, to the extent of such payment, the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced with the resulting ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing, and (ii) if such conditions precedent to borrowing have not been satisfied, then any such amount paid by any Lender shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to such Issuing Bank amounts so

received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23(e) prior to the time that any Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the applicable Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate.

SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or Section 2.02(f), as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing (or, in the case of a Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, such shorter period prior to the Closing Date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile, or electronic transmission of a “pdf” or similar copy to the Administrative Agent of an executed written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each Protective Advance made to the Borrower on the earlier of the Maturity Date, the 30th day after such Protective Advance is made and the date on which payment thereof shall be demanded by the Administrative Agent.

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

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

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

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

(f) Upon the commencement and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Period (i) the Administrative Agent may (and, at the written direction of the Required Lenders shall) instruct any or each depositary bank with which any Loan Party shall have any deposit account and which is party to any Control Agreement to transfer on each Business Day (or with such other frequency as shall be specified by the Administrative Agent) to one or more accounts of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates specified by it (collectively, the “Administrative Agent Accounts”) all funds then on deposit in the deposit account or deposit accounts of any Loan Party subject to such Control Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to give such instructions with respect to one or more of such deposit accounts if, and to the extent that, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that the aggregate amount of funds that would otherwise be required to be transferred pursuant to instructions given in accordance with this clause (i) on any Business Day would exceed the aggregate principal amount of Loans (including Protective Advances) and L/C Exposure (other than

L/C Exposure that shall have been theretofore cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.22(j)) outstanding on such Business Day; and (ii) on each Business Day immediately following the day of receipt by the Administrative Agent of any funds pursuant to a transfer referred to in clause (i) above, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to Section 5.16(d), apply the amounts so received first, to prepay Protective Advances made to the Borrower, second, to prepay Revolving Loans made to the Borrower, and third, to cash collateralize in accordance with Section 2.22(j) outstanding L/C Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower and, following such application thereof, shall remit the remaining funds, if any, to the applicable Loan Party; provided, further, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Administrative Agent’s election, such funds may be applied as provided in Section 5.02 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (and, pending such application, may be held as cash collateral). The Borrower hereby directs the Administrative Agent to apply its funds as so specified and authorizes the Administrative Agent to determine the order of application of such funds as among the individual Borrowings and L/C Exposures of the Borrower. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period ending with the Maturity Date, or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) calculated on such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period ending with the Maturity Date, or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have been terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings comprised of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.06, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it, a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate of 0.125% per annum (or such other amount agreed by any

individual Issuing Bank), as well as the standard issuance and drawing fees specified from time to time by such Issuing Bank (“Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, or under any other Loan Document, then, until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, to the extent permitted by law, such defaulted amount shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (a) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Revolving Loan plus 2.00% per annum.

SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not

generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or facsimile notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) If at any time the Administrative 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 the case may be (including because the rates necessary to determine the Interpolated Rate are not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to that based on the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans of the applicable Type at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.08(b), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph (b), paragraph (a) of this Section shall be applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any alternate rate of interest established pursuant to this paragraph (b) (without giving effect to the Applicable Percentage or any alternative spread that may have been agreed upon over the applicable Lenders’ deemed cost of funds) shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for all purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. The L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the date that is 10 Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or facsimile notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently

terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $3,000,000, and (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the time. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or any other event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(c) Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.

SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

(iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;

(iv) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;

(v) any portion of a Borrowing of any Loans maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing; and

(vii) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, then, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued into an ABR Borrowing. This Section 2.10 shall not apply to Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

SECTION 2.11. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.12. Optional Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or facsimile notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or facsimile notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written or facsimile notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or facsimile notice) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000.

(b) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or any other event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 (other than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event of the termination of all the Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings and replace all outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.23(j), in each case outstanding under this Agreement.

(b) In the event of any partial reduction of the Commitments, then (x) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure after giving effect thereto and (y) if the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the aggregate Commitments after giving effect to such reduction, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction, first, repay or prepay Revolving Loans and second, replace outstanding Letters of Credit under this Agreement or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit under this Agreement in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.23(j), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(c) In the event that at any time the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Line Cap, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, within one Business Day, first, repay or prepay Revolving Loans and second, replace outstanding Letters of Credit under this Agreement or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit under this Agreement in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.23(j), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall (i) 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 or an Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate), (ii) impose on such Lender or such Issuing Bank or the London interbank

market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein or (iii) subject any Lender or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liability or capital attributable thereto, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, from time to time such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 30 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or an Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender or such Issuing Bank knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances

would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender and each Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

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

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

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense (but not against any lost profits) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of an assignment pursuant to Section 2.21 or Section 9.04(j)), (ii) the

conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.15, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments of an applicable class (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means (excluding means expressly contemplated elsewhere in this Agreement), obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans or L/C Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans and L/C Exposure of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and L/C Exposure and participations in Loans and L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans and L/C Exposure prior to

such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower and Parent expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agree that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower and Parent to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment (other than Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its designated offices. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower does not in fact make such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, and to pay interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).

SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as

required by applicable law. If the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be required to deduct or withhold any Tax from such payment, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to so indemnify any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank in respect of interest or penalties attributable to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent that such interest or penalties resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or the Issuing Bank. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan 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) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate and as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(ii) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any Loan 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 Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such other time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding 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 Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that this paragraph (f) shall not create any additional obligation of the Borrower hereunder. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f).

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to

this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender or an Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or an Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, (v) any Lender refuses to consent to any Loan Modification Offer, and such Loan Modification Offer is consented to by Lenders holding a majority in interest of the Affected Class or (vi) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (iv), (v) or (vi) above, all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Loans or Commitments that are the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification or in respect of which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (iv) or (v) above, shall consent to such requested amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or Issuing Bank in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of

such payment on the outstanding Loans and L/C Disbursements of such Lender or Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all Fees (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, any Fees not required to be paid to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement) and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.14 and 2.16); provided, further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14, notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or such Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or such Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender or Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification or shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21(a).

(b) If (i) any Lender or an Issuing Bank shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or an Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or an Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or an Issuing Bank in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

SECTION 2.22. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.23. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Borrower may request the issuance of a standby Letter of

Credit for its own account or for the account of any of the Subsidiaries (in which case the Borrower and such Subsidiary shall be co-applicants with respect to such Letter of Credit), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time while the L/C Commitment remains in effect. This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon any Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person in violation of Section 5.08. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.23 or elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by all such Defaulting Lenders, including by cash collateralizing each such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the applicable L/C Exposure, and (ii) if agreed to between the Borrower and any Issuing Bank in writing, the obligation of such Issuing Bank (and its Affiliates) to issue, extend or renew any Letters of Credit under this Agreement may be terminated (in whole or in part) as provided therein.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver, facsimile or electronically deliver a “pdf” or similar copy to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension in accordance with the customary procedures (including advance notice requirements) of the applicable Issuing Bank) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. Each of the Borrower and any Subsidiary co-applicants are responsible for the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by Issuing Bank, irrespective of any assistance Issuing Bank may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by Issuing Bank’s use or refusal to use text submitted by the Borrower. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Line Cap. No Issuing Bank shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of L/C Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank would exceed such Issuing Bank’s L/C Commitment.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days (or such longer period as may be specified in such Letter of Credit) prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

(d) Participations.

(i) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Lenders, each Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(f). Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(ii) If any L/C Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(A) The L/C Exposure (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.23(d) and 2.23(f)) of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages but only to the extent that the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures after giving effect to such reallocation would not exceed the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

(B) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.23(j) for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, the Borrower shall not be required to pay participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(c) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure for so long as such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized;

(C) if any portion of the L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05(c) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and

(D) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.05(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized.

(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall as promptly as practicable notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, and the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day after such Issuing Bank so notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any draft or other document for presentation or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the

Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Issuing Bank. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. It is further understood and agreed that each Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) such Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, upon its receipt of any documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of

Credit, examine all such documents within the time period stipulated by the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of such Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by the Borrower or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(f), at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were an ABR Revolving Loan.

(i) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and may be removed at any time by the Borrower by notice to the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as a successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrower shall, on the Business Day it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders thereof and of the amount to be deposited, deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the L/C Exposure as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment

of such deposits in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Exposure at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Banks and such Lender.

SECTION 2.24. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.25. Loan Modification Offers; Replacement Revolving Credit Facility. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”).

(b) The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new “class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the

extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officer’s and secretary’s certificates and other documentation consistent with those delivered pursuant to Section 4.01 on the Closing Date.

(c) “Permitted Amendments” shall mean any or all of the following: (i) an extension of the final maturity date applicable to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (ii) a change in the Applicable Percentage with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (iii) a change in the Fees payable to (or the inclusion of additional fees to be payable to) the Accepting Lenders, (iv) changes to any prepayment premiums with respect to the applicable Loans and Commitments, (v) such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, to provide the rights and benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents to each new “class” of loans and/or commitments resulting therefrom and (vi) additional amendments to the terms of this Agreement applicable to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders that are less favorable to such Accepting Lenders than the terms of this Agreement prior to giving effect to such Permitted Amendments and that are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that, if any such Permitted Amendment shall create a new class of Revolving Credit Commitments, (A) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit as between the commitments of such new “class” and the Commitments of the then-existing Lenders shall be made on a ratable basis as between the commitments of such new “class” and the Commitments of the then-existing Lenders and (B) the L/C Commitment may not be extended without the prior written consent of the applicable Issuing Bank.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) to effect the refinancing of all the Revolving Credit Commitments with a replacement facility under this Agreement (a “Replacement Revolving Credit Facility”); provided that (a) the aggregate amount of commitments under such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the replaced Revolving Credit Commitments and (b) the maturity date of such Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall not be earlier than the latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date at the time of such replacement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Replacement Revolving Credit Facility, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Replacement Revolving Credit Facility evidenced thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officer’s and secretary’s certificates and other documentation consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to continue to issue Letters of Credit, respectively, under the Replacement Revolving Credit Facility except to the extent it agrees in writing to do so at or prior to the effectiveness of the Replacement Revolving Credit Facility. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event

that the initial Replacement Revolving Credit Facility is in an aggregate principal amount less than the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments being replaced, this Agreement may be further amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant additional commitments under the Replacement Revolving Credit Facility (and subject to the same limitations and requirements provided above in this paragraph (d)) to include additional commitments under the Replacement Revolving Credit Facility that will not cause the aggregate amount of the commitments thereunder to exceed the aggregate amount of the replaced Revolving Credit Commitments.

SECTION 2.26. Revolving Credit Commitment Increases. (a) The Borrower may from time to time, by written notice (a “Notice of Increase”) to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request that new Commitments of any class be extended or existing Commitments of any class be increased by one or more financial institutions, which may include any Lender (any such financial institution, an “Increasing Lender”) (any such extension or increase, a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”); provided that (i) the terms of the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be identical to the existing Commitments of the applicable class, except for any upfront or similar fees paid to Increasing Lenders; provided that if the Lenders providing such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and the Borrower so agree, such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase may be in the form of a “first in last out” class; (ii) the aggregate amount of any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase effected pursuant to this Section 2.26(a) shall not exceed $100,000,000; (iii) each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), except to the extent necessary to utilize the remaining unused amount of increase permitted under this Section 2.26(a); (iv) prior to any such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, except as otherwise specified in the applicable Revolving Accession Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01, (v) at the time of each such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase request and immediately after giving effect to the effectiveness of each such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied, and the Administrative Agent shall have received certificates to that effect dated such dates and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower and (vi) any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide any such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase. Such Notice of Increase shall set forth the amount of the requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and the date on which such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase is requested to become effective. The Borrower may arrange for one or more Lenders or one or more other financial institutions to act as Increasing Lenders with respect to the proposed Revolving Credit Commitment Increase; provided that each Increasing Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and each Increasing Lender shall become a party to this Agreement by

completing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed accession agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a “Revolving Accession Agreement”). Revolving Credit Commitment Increases shall become effective on the date specified in the Notice of Increase delivered pursuant to this paragraph (but not prior to, for any Increasing Lender that is not already a Lender, execution and delivery by such Increasing Lender of a Revolving Accession Agreement). Upon the effectiveness of any Revolving Accession Agreement to which any Increasing Lender is a party, such Increasing Lender shall thereafter be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges, and subject to all obligations, of a Lender hereunder.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (such amendment, a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Amendment”) without the consent of any Lender to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase evidenced thereby (including, if applicable, any such changes necessary to reflect the “first in last out” nature of a Revolving Commitment Increase provided on such terms, including to the provisions of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and any other applicable Loan Documents). Upon the effectiveness of each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section 2.26 (other than any “first in last out” Revolving Credit Commitment Increase), (i) each Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Increasing Lender providing a portion of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, and each such Increasing Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Lender (including each such Increasing Lender) will equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage and (ii) if, on the date of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.12. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

Comply and cause all lessees and other persons occupying its properties to comply, in all material respects with all Environmental Laws applicable to its operations and properties; obtain and renew all material environmental permits necessary for its operations and properties; and promptly conduct any remedial action in accordance with Environmental Laws; provided, however, that none of Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be required to undertake any remedial action required by Environmental Laws to the extent that its obligation to do so is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and appropriate reserves are being maintained with respect to such circumstances in accordance with GAAP.

SECTION 5.11. Preparation of Environmental Reports. If a Default caused by reason of a breach of Section 3.17 or Section 5.10 shall have occurred and be continuing for more than 20 days without Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary commencing activities reasonably likely to cure such Default, at the written request of the Required Lenders through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall provide to the Lenders within 45 days after receipt of such request, at the expense of the Loan Parties, environmental site assessment reports (Phase I, Phase II and/or compliance audits) regarding the matters which are the subject of such Default prepared by an environmental consulting firm reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and indicating the compliance matter and/or the presence or absence of Hazardous Materials and the estimated cost of any compliance or remedial action in connection with such Default.

SECTION 5.12. Further Assurances and Post-Closing Requirements. (a) Execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action (including filing Uniform Commercial Code and other financing statements, mortgages and deeds of trust) that may be required under applicable law, or that the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and first priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by the Security Documents. The Borrower will cause any subsequently acquired or organized Material Subsidiary (or any Subsidiary that becomes a Material Subsidiary) to become a Loan Party by executing the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and each applicable Security Document in favor of the Collateral Agent. The Borrower may, in its discretion, elect to cause a Permitted Joint Venture Subsidiary to become a Loan Party by complying with the foregoing sentence. In addition, except with respect to which, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent (confirmed by written notice to the Borrower), the cost or other consequences (including any Tax consequence) of doing so shall be excessive in view of the benefits to be obtained by the Lenders therefrom and subject to applicable limitations set forth in the Security Documents, from time to time, the Borrower will, at its cost and expense, promptly secure the Obligations by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected security interests with respect to such of its assets and properties as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall designate (it being understood that it is the intent of the parties that the Obligations shall be secured by substantially all the assets of Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors (including properties acquired subsequent to the Closing Date)), except this Section 5.12 shall not require Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to

(a) pledge (i) more than 65% of the outstanding voting Equity Interests in any Foreign Subsidiary, (ii) any Equity Interest in any Non-Significant Subsidiary or (iii) any Equity Interest in any Permitted Syndication Subsidiary or any Permitted Joint Venture Subsidiary to the extent the pledge of the Equity Interest in such Subsidiary is prohibited by any applicable Contractual Obligation or requirement of law, or (b) grant security interests in any asset that (i) would result in the violation of the enforceable anti-assignment provision of any contract, or would be prohibited by or would violate applicable law or contractual provisions (including any right of first refusal) or would otherwise result in termination or any forfeiture under any contract, (ii) is a vehicle or other asset subject to certificate of title, (iii) are minority Equity Interests, (iv) are leasehold interests or (v) is permitted to be so excluded under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. Such security interests and Liens will be created under the Security Documents and other security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust and other instruments and documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lenders all such instruments and documents (including legal opinions and lien searches) as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to evidence compliance with this Section. Any requirement to mortgage real property that is acquired after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 5.12 shall be limited to real property owned in fee by a Loan Party that (i) has a fair market value equal to or exceeding $10,000,000, (ii) is not subject to a Lien permitted under Section 6.02(c), (n) or (s) (for so long as such Lien exists), and (iii) the Borrower does not intend to sell within six months of the acquisition thereof pursuant to clause (i) or (x) of Section 6.05(b) or such longer period permitted by the Collateral Agent. No appraisals, title insurance policies, environmental reports or surveys shall be required to be obtained in connection with any mortgage of real property pursuant to this Section 5.12. The Borrower agrees to provide such evidence as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request as to the perfection and priority status of each such security interest and Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgages shall not be recorded in any Mortgage Tax State with respect to Mortgaged Properties owned by any Loan Party as of the Closing Date unless a Covenant Trigger Event shall exist and the Administrative Agent shall have provided notice to Borrower of its intent to record such Mortgages at least five Business Days in advance of such recording. For the avoidance of doubt, if the execution and/or delivery of a Mortgage in a Mortgage Tax State triggers the payment of a mortgage tax, stamp tax, intangible or documentary tax or other similar tax or charge, then the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party shall not be required to execute and/or deliver such Mortgage unless and until a Covenant Trigger Event shall exist and the Administrative Agent shall have provided notice to the Borrower in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Within 270 days of the Closing Date (as such time period may be extended by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), the Borrower shall or shall cause the applicable Loan Party to deliver to the Administrative Agent the following:

(i) a Mortgage with respect to each Mortgaged Property, in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly executed and acknowledged by the applicable Loan Party in form suitable for recording in all

recording offices that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary in order to create a valid and subsisting Lien on such Mortgaged Property, which Mortgage shall be subject to no Liens other than Liens permitted by Section 6.02, together with evidence that such Mortgage has been duly recorded or filed, as applicable, and that all filing and recording taxes and fees have been paid or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If a mortgage recording tax or similar tax is imposed on the amount secured by such Mortgage, then the amount secured by such Mortgage shall be limited to the fair market value of such Mortgaged Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgages contemplated by this clause (b) shall not be recorded in any Mortgage Tax State unless required by Section 5.12(a); and

(ii) an enforceability opinion with respect to each such Mortgage, from counsel chosen by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Within 30 days of the Closing Date (as such time period may be extended by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of, or a certificate as to coverage under, the insurance policies required by Section 5.02 and the applicable provisions of the Security Documents, each of which shall be endorsed or otherwise amended to include a customary lender’s loss payable endorsement and to name the Collateral Agent as additional insured.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the Collateral Agent shall not accept any Mortgage from any Loan Party until such time as it has received confirmation from each Lender that each such Lender has completed its flood insurance review and flood insurance compliance has been completed in accordance with Section 5.02(c) (such confirmation not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

SECTION 5.13. Proceeds of Certain Dispositions. If, as a result of the receipt of any cash proceeds by Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with any sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of any asset the Borrower would be required by the terms of any Senior Note Indenture or the documentation governing any other Material Indebtedness that is unsecured or secured by Liens junior to the Liens securing the Obligations to make an offer to purchase any of the Indebtedness thereunder, then, prior to the first day on which the Borrower would be required to commence such an offer to purchase, (i) prepay Term Loans in accordance with the Term Loan Credit Agreement, provided that the Borrower may use a portion of such cash proceeds to prepay or repurchase Other Senior Secured Debt to the extent any applicable credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing such Other Senior Secured Debt requires the Borrower to prepay or make an offer to purchase such Indebtedness with such cash proceeds or (ii) acquire assets or make investments in a manner that is permitted hereby, in each case in a manner that will eliminate any such requirement to make such an offer to purchase.

SECTION 5.14. Operation of Facilities. Use commercially reasonable efforts to operate, and cause the Subsidiaries to operate, the Facilities owned, leased or operated by Parent, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries now or in the future in a manner believed by the Borrower to be consistent with prevailing health care industry standards in the locations where the Facilities exist from time to time, except to the extent failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.15. Compliance with Laws. (a) Comply with all laws, rules, regulations, and orders applicable to it or its property, including applicable laws administered by OFAC and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Parent and the Borrower will maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by Parent, the Borrower, their subsidiaries and the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions.

SECTION 5.16. Collection Accounts. (a) As promptly as practicable and in any event within 90 days after the Closing Date (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), the Loan Parties shall cause each depositary bank where a Collection Account is maintained to enter into a Control Agreement with respect to each such Collection Account, and at all times thereafter the Loan Parties shall cause each depositary bank where a Collection Account is maintained to enter into a Control Agreement with respect to each such Collection Account. Each such Control Agreement shall provide, among other things, that such depositary bank agrees, from and after the receipt of a notice (an “Activation Notice”) from the Administrative Agent (which Activation Notice may be given by the Administrative Agent at any time that the Administrative Agent determines that a Cash Dominion Period has commenced and is continuing, and shall be given by the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Required Lenders during any Cash Dominion Period), to forward immediately all amounts in each Collection Account (net of any customary minimum balance as may be required to be maintained in such Collection Account by such depositary bank) to, in the case of any Collection Account of any Loan Party, an Administrative Agent Account, and to commence the process of daily sweeps from such Collection Account into the Administrative Agent Account. If any depositary bank shall not have entered into (in the case of any Collection Account in existence on the Closing Date, on or prior to the date that is 90 days after the Closing Date (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion)) a Control Agreement with respect to any Collection Account, such Collection Account shall be closed and all funds therein transferred to a deposit account with a depositary bank that has entered into a Control Agreement for such deposit account.

(b) The Loan Parties (i) shall (A) cause all the Account Debtors which are not Governmental Authorities on any and all Accounts of the Loan Parties from time to time included in the Borrowing Base (or any component thereof) to make all payments

and remittances with respect to such Accounts into one or more Collection Accounts and (B) deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after its receipt thereof, all proceeds of Accounts from Governmental Authorities to be swept to a concentration account which is subject to a Control Account, (ii) shall cause each Collection Account at all times to be solely a collection account and shall not make any disbursements or other direct payments therefrom (it being understood that, unless (y) a Cash Dominion Period has commenced and is continuing, or (z) a Cash Dominion Period would result therefrom, the Borrower shall not be prohibited from withdrawing funds from a Collection Account) and (iii) shall deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of its receipt thereof, all cash, checks, drafts or other similar items of payment received by it relating to or constituting payments or remittances with respect to any of its Accounts from time to time included in the Borrowing Base (or any component thereof) into one or more Collection Accounts in precisely the form in which they are received (but with any endorsements of such Loan Party necessary for deposit or collection), and until they are so deposited, shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent.

(c) Any Loan Party may replace any Collection Account or establish any new Collection Account; provided, in each case, that as promptly as practicable and in any event within 30 days after establishing any such Collection Account (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), each such replacement or new Collection Account shall be subject to a Control Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent and shall otherwise satisfy the requirements of this Section 5.16.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly (but in any event within one Business Day) furnish written notice to each depositary bank that shall have received an Activation Notice of any termination of a Cash Dominion Period. Any amount received in an Administrative Agent Account at any time when no Cash Dominion Period is continuing or all the Obligations have been paid in full shall be remitted to an account of the applicable Loan Party designated by the Borrower.

(e) Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no Loan Party shall modify or amend the instructions pursuant to any of the Control Agreements. So long as no Cash Dominion Period or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, each Loan Party shall, and the Administrative Agent hereby authorizes each Loan Party to, enforce and collect all amounts owing on the Accounts and each Loan Party shall have sole control over the manner of disposition of funds in the Collection Accounts; provided that such authorization may, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, be terminated upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Cash Dominion Period or Event of Default.

SECTION 5.17. Landlord Waivers. Each Loan Party shall, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, within 90 days after the Closing Date (or within 90 days after the date on which the applicable books and records of any Loan Party become located at a leased property, as

the case may be), a landlord lien waiver, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, from the landlord of each leased property of the Loan Parties at which a substantial portion of the books and records relating to the Collateral are located.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent; Certain ERISA Matters

SECTION 8.01. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. Each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral, including the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.

118

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

Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08 or in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Parent, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall 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 9.08 or in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Parent, the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered 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 Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each 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.

119

Each 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 it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or 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 each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities as well as activities as Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower, to appoint a successor; provided that during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to paragraph (b), (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII, no consent of the Borrower shall be required. 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 retirement of the retiring Agent shall become effective on such 30th day and the retiring Agent may (but shall not have any obligation to do so), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000, or an Affiliate of any such bank and, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to paragraph (b), (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII shall have occurred and be continuing, reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. 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 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 an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 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 acting as Agent.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents 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 Agents 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 or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Parent and the Borrower

123

hereby agree that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Parent and the Borrower or its securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.17); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor”.

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to Parent or the Borrower or its securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal or state securities laws.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION

124

OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower or Parent herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or on their behalf, 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 or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated.

(a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, Parent, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), with notice to the Borrower and the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (provided that the consent of the Administrative Agent shall not be required to any such assignment made to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) and each Issuing Bank (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that (i) in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower must also give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it objects thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days after having received written notice thereof)) (provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required to any such assignment made to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default referred to in paragraph (b), (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII), (ii) the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be not less than $5,000,000 (with respect to an assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Loans) (or, in any case, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment or Loans), (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and will not apply in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Approved Fund that is managed by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or by an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages such Lender), and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all applicable tax forms. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an 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 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).

126

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Revolving Credit Commitment is as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance; (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee and is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount and stated interest 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 and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

127

(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and, if required, the Borrower to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).

(f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other persons in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant) and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans or L/C Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or person has an interest or releasing any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than pursuant to the terms thereof or in connection with the sale of such Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05) or all or substantially all of the Collateral). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participating bank or person and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participating bank or person’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participating bank or person or any information relating to a participating bank or person’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is

128

recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.17.

(g) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any investor, potential investor, rating agency, commercial paper dealer, collateral manager, servicer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

129

(i) Neither Parent nor the Borrower shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(j) In the event that any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender or S&P, Xxxxx’x and Xxxxxxxx’x BankWatch (or InsuranceWatch Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or Best’s Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by Insurance Watch Ratings Service)) shall, after the date that any Lender becomes a Lender, downgrade the long-term certificate of deposit ratings of such Lender, and the resulting ratings shall be below BBB-, Baa3 and C (or BB, in the case of a Lender that is an insurance company (or B, in the case of an insurance company not rated by InsuranceWatch Ratings Service)) (or, with respect to any Lender that is not rated by any such ratings service or provider, the Issuing Banks shall have reasonably determined that there has occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition of any such Lender, or a material impairment of the ability of any such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, as compared to such condition or ability as of the date that any such Lender became a Lender) then the Issuing Banks shall have the right, but not the obligation, at their own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above), and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above) all its interests, rights and obligations in respect of its Revolving Credit Commitment to such assignee; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule and regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) such Issuing Bank or such assignee, as the case may be, shall pay to such Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder.

SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower and Parent agree, jointly and severally, to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Arranger and each Issuing Bank in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all such expenses incurred in connection with field examinations and collateral monitoring) or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and, in connection with any such

130

enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (and any such additional counsel, if necessary, as a result of actual or potential conflicts of interest) for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders.

(b) The Borrower and Parent agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, each Arranger, each Issuing Bank and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all actual losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties and related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (and any such additional counsel, if necessary, as a result of actual or potential conflicts of interest) for all Indemnitees, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions, any related transaction and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Credit Facilities), (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted primarily from (1) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (2) a material breach of the obligations under this Agreement of such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s Affiliates or of any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives of the foregoing under this Agreement (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable decision) or (y) result from any proceeding (other than a proceeding against a party hereto acting pursuant to this Agreement or in its capacity as such or of any of its Affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives and the successors of each of the foregoing) solely between or among Indemnitees not arising from any act or omission of a Loan Party.

(c) To the extent that Parent and the Borrower fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Arranger or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim,

131

damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Arranger or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and unused Commitments at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither Parent nor the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or Parent and the Borrower and each of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, 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, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this paragraph (d) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the unathorized use by others of information or documents transmitted through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such damages are found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, any Arranger or any Issuing Bank. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable, within 30 days of written demand therefor with a reasonably detailed summary of the amounts claimed.

SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited 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 indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or Parent against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower or Parent now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, provided that at such time such obligations are due or payable. The rights of each Lender and Affiliates of such Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender may have.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each Secured Party expressly waives its right of setoff (and any similar right

132

including bankers’ liens) with respect to all lockboxes, deposit accounts and other cash management accounts maintained by any Loan Party and into which any collections for Government Accounts are deposited. For purposes hereof, “Government Accounts” shall mean all accounts on which any federal or state government unit or any intermediary for any federal or state government unit is the obligor.

SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS ISSUED, BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE “UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower or Parent in any case shall entitle the Borrower or Parent to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) None of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof, may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, Parent, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders and, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or any date for reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the

136

Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.12. 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 RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.12.

The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9.14. Counterparts. 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. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.17. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel, numbering, administration and settlement service providers, and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.17, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrower,

138

(g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.17 or (h) to market data collectors, such as league table or other service providers to the lending industry, in each case solely with respect to the Closing Date, size, type, purpose of, parties to and titles and roles in connection with, this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower or Parent and related to the Borrower or Parent or their business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower or Parent; provided that any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Bank shall give Parent prior notice of any disclosure pursuant to clause (c) to the extent permissible. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.17 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.18. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Parent and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Parent and the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Parent and the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Parent and the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 9.19. [Reserved].

SECTION 9.20. Other Secured Obligations. (a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that Term Loan Additional Secured Debt Obligations and Other Junior Secured Debt Obligations may be secured by Liens on the Collateral that, in the case of Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral are senior to, and in the case of ABL Priority Collateral, are junior to, the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations and hereby consents thereto.

(b) In connection with the incurrence by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of Term Loan Additional Secured Debt, Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness and/or Other Junior Secured Debt, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (i) acknowledges that, at the request of the Borrower, each of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall enter into one or more intercreditor agreements, (ii) authorizes and directs each Agent to execute and deliver any such intercreditor agreement and any documents relating thereto, in each case on behalf of such Lender or Issuing Bank and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender or Issuing Bank, (iii) authorizes and directs each Agent to act as its representative under, and in connection with, any such intercreditor agreement, (iv) acknowledges that any such intercreditor agreement may contain provisions that permit or require the Liens securing the Obligations, the Term Loan Additional Secured Debt Obligations and the Other Junior Secured Debt Obligations to be granted in favor of a single collateral agent trustee, which may not be the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (a “Shared

139

Collateral Agent”), (v) acknowledges that any such intercreditor agreement may provide that the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Obligations, Term Loan Additional Secured Debt Obligations and Other Junior Secured Debt Obligations, voting as a single class, may direct the Shared Collateral Agent with respect to enforcement or the actions concerning the Collateral, and (vi) agrees that, upon the execution and delivery thereof, it will be bound by the provisions of any such intercreditor agreement as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions contrary to the provisions thereof. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank further authorizes and directs each Agent to enter into such amendments, supplements or other modifications to any such intercreditor agreement as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent in order to (A) enable any extension, renewal, refinancing, replacement or additional incurrence of any Loans or any Term Loan Additional Secured Debt, Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness or Other Junior Secured Debt permitted under this Agreement and (B) provide for (i) the Term Loan Additional Secured Debt Obligations thereunder to be secured by Liens on the Collateral having the same priority as the Liens on the Collateral securing the obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and (ii) the Other Junior Debt Obligations thereunder to be secured by Liens on the Collateral having junior priority to the Liens on the Collateral securing the obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) on behalf of such Lender or such Issuing Bank and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender or such Issuing Bank (for the avoidance of doubt, which Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral shall, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), be junior to the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Obligations).

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Agents on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof (subject, in the case of the Collateral, to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and any other applicable intercreditor agreement). In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and such Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by such Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions. The provisions of this paragraph are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

(d) Each Lender and Issuing Bank (a) acknowledges that it will be provided with a copy of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement by the Collateral Agent, (b)

140

acknowledges that the Collateral Agent will enter into the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, and hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into (and be party to) the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and any documents related thereto (including any amendments to the Security Documents) on behalf of itself, each Lender, the Issuing Banks and other holders of Obligations, in each case, as the Collateral Agent shall determine to be appropriate to cause the applicable Indebtedness and the obligations related thereto, to be secured as permitted hereunder without any further consent, authorization or other action by any Lender or Issuing Bank and (c) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 9.21. No Fiduciary Relationship. Each of Parent and the Borrower, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, Parent, the Borrower, the other Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Parent, the Borrower and their Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Parent, the Borrower or any of their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Parent and the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it or any of its Affiliates may have against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

SECTION 9.22. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

141

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

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

The undersigned, CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Borrower”), refers to the ABL Credit Agreement dated as of April 3, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, Community Health Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent for the Lenders. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement. The Borrower hereby gives the Administrative Agent notice pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement that it requests a Borrowing under the Credit Agreement, and in connection therewith sets forth below the terms on which such Borrowing is requested to be made:


(A)		Type of Borrowing³

(B)		Date of Borrowing⁴

(C)		Account Number and Location

(D)		Principal Amount of Borrowing

(E)		Interest Period⁵

The Administrative Agent must be notified irrevocably by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon) (New York City time), three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the day of a proposed Borrowing, in each case to be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic transmission of a “pdf” or similar copy of an executed written Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent.

⁴	Date of Borrowing must be a Business Day.

⁵	If such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, specify the Interest Period with respect thereto.

The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations under the Credit Agreement, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation of such Loan) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this paragraph shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that, on the date of this Borrowing Request and on the date of the related Borrowing, the conditions to lending specified in paragraphs (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 4.02 of the Credit Agreement have been satisfied.

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.

Premises: [City], [State]

County

Reference is made to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement dated as of April 3, 2018, (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ABL Intercreditor Agreement”), among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as ABL Agent (as defined therein), Credit Suisse AG, as Senior-Priority Collateral Agent Agent (as defined therein), Credit Suisse AG, as Senior-Priority Non-ABL Loan Agent (as defined therein), Regions Bank, as 2021 Secured Notes Trustee, (as defined therein), Regions Bank, as 2023 Secured Notes Trustee (as defined therein), CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc., Community Health Systems, Inc. and each other party from time to time party thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Mortgage and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties are subject to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and this Mortgage, the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

THIS THIRD LIEN MORTGAGE, ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT, FIXTURE FILING AND FINANCING STATEMENT dated as of ____________, 20[•] (this “Mortgage”), by [ ], a [ ] corporation, having an office at [ ] (the “Mortgagor”), to and for the benefit of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association, having an office at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (the “Mortgagee”) as Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties (as such terms are defined below).

WITNESSETH THAT:

Reference is made to (i) the ABL Credit Agreement dated as of April 3, 2018 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), Community Health Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders and collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties, (ii) the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement dated as of April 3, 2018 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”) among Parent, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries identified therein and the Collateral Agent and (iii) the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement, and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable.

In the Credit Agreement, (i) the Lenders have agreed to make revolving loans (the “Loans”) to the Borrower and (ii) the Issuing Banks have issued or agreed to issue from time to time Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, in each case pursuant to, upon the terms, and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans.

Mortgagor is a wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower and will derive substantial benefit from the making of the Loans by the Lenders and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks. In order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit, the Mortgagor has agreed to guarantee, among other things, the due and punctual payment and performance of all of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Mortgagor of this Mortgage in the form hereof to secure the Obligations.

As used in this Mortgage, the term “Secured Parties” shall mean (a)(i) the Lenders, (ii) the Administrative Agent, (iii) the Collateral Agent, (iv) any Issuing Bank, (v) the beneficiaries of each indemnification obligation undertaken by any Loan Party under any Loan Document and (vi) the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Credit Agreement, the Mortgagor is granting this Mortgage to create a lien on and a security interest in the Mortgaged Property (as hereinafter defined) to secure the performance and payment by the Mortgagor of the Obligations. The Credit Agreement also requires the granting by other Loan Parties of mortgages, deeds of trust and/or deeds to secure debt (the “Other Mortgages”) that create liens on and security interests in certain real and personal property other than the Mortgaged Property to secure the performance of the Obligations.

Granting Clauses

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF the foregoing and in order to secure the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations for the benefit of the Secured Parties, Mortgagor hereby grants, conveys, mortgages, assigns and pledges to the Mortgagee, a mortgage lien on and a security interest in, all the following described property (the “Mortgaged Property”) whether now owned or held or hereafter acquired:

(1) the land more particularly described on Exhibit A hereto (the “Land”), together with all rights appurtenant thereto, including the easements over certain other adjoining land granted by any easement agreements, covenant or restrictive agreements and all air rights, mineral rights, water rights, oil and gas rights and development rights, if any, relating thereto, and also together with all of the other easements, rights, privileges, interests, hereditaments and appurtenances thereunto belonging or in any way appertaining and all of the estate, right, title, interest, claim or demand whatsoever of Mortgagor therein and in the streets and ways adjacent thereto, either in law or in equity, in possession or expectancy, now or hereafter acquired (the “Premises”);

(2) all buildings, improvements, structures, paving, parking areas, walkways and landscaping now or hereafter erected or located upon the Land, and all fixtures of every kind and type affixed to the Premises or attached to or forming part of any structures, buildings or improvements and replacements thereof now or hereafter erected or located upon the Land (the “Improvements”);

SECTION 1.02. Credit Agreement. This Mortgage is given pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Mortgagor expressly covenants and agrees to pay when due, and to timely perform, and to cause the other Loan Parties to pay when due, and to timely perform, the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

(b) In the event of the passage of any state, Federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation subsequent to the date hereof (i) deducting from the value of real property for the purpose of taxation any lien or encumbrance thereon or in any manner changing or modifying the laws now in force governing the taxation of this Mortgage or debts secured by mortgages or deeds of trust (other than laws governing income, franchise and similar taxes generally) or the manner of collecting taxes thereon and (ii) imposing a tax to be paid by Mortgagee, either directly or indirectly, on this Mortgage or any of the Security Documents, or requiring an amount of taxes to be withheld or deducted therefrom, Mortgagor will promptly (x) notify Mortgagee of such event, (y) enter into such further instruments as Mortgagee may determine are reasonably necessary or desirable to obligate Mortgagor to make any additional payments necessary to put the Lenders and Secured Parties in the same financial position they would have been if such law, order, rule or regulation had not been passed and (z) make such additional payments to Mortgagee for the benefit of the Lenders and Secured Parties.

SECTION 1.04. Maintenance of Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor will maintain the Improvements and the Personal Property in the manner required by the Credit Agreement.

Federal Emergency Management Agency Standard Flood Hazard Determination Forms will be purchased by Mortgagor for each Mortgaged Property on which Improvements are located.

Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any proceeds received by or on behalf of the Mortgagor in respect of any such casualty, damage or taking shall constitute trust funds held by the Mortgagor for the benefit of the Secured Parties to be applied to repair, restore or replace the Mortgaged Property.

SECTION 1.07. Assignment of Leases and Rents. (a) Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and absolutely grants, transfers and assigns all of its right title and interest in all Leases, together with any and all extensions and renewals thereof for purposes of securing and discharging the performance by Mortgagor of the Obligations. Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, Mortgagor has not assigned or executed any assignment of, and will not assign or execute any assignment of, any Leases or the Rents payable thereunder to anyone other than Mortgagee.

(b) Except for those Leases set forth in Section 6.02(l) of the Credit Agreement, all Leases shall be subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage. Except for those Leases set forth in Section 6.02(l) of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor will not enter into, modify or amend any Lease if such Lease, as entered into, modified or amended, will not be subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage.

(c) Subject to Section 1.07(d), Mortgagor has assigned and transferred to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to the Rents now or hereafter arising from each Lease heretofore or hereafter made or agreed to by Mortgagor, it being intended that this assignment establish, subject to Section 1.07(d), an absolute transfer and assignment of all Rents and all Leases to Mortgagee and not merely to grant a security interest therein. Subject to Section 1.07(d), Mortgagee may in Mortgagor’s name and stead (with or without first taking possession of any of the Mortgaged Property personally or by receiver as provided herein) operate the Mortgaged Property and rent, lease or let all or any portion of any of the Mortgaged Property to any party or parties at such rental and upon such terms as Mortgagee shall, in its sole discretion, determine, and may collect and have the benefit of all of said Rents arising from or accruing at any time thereafter or that may thereafter become due under any Lease.

(d) So long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee will not exercise any of its rights under Section 1.07(c), and Mortgagor shall receive and collect the Rents accruing under any Lease; but after the happening and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, at its option, receive and collect all Rents and enter upon the Premises and Improvements through its officers, agents, employees or attorneys for such purpose and for the operation and maintenance thereof. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each tenant, if any, and each successor, if any, to the interest of any tenant under any Lease, respectively, to rely upon any notice of an Event of Default sent by Mortgagee to any such tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest, and thereafter to pay Rents to Mortgagee without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether an Event of Default actually exists and even if some notice to the contrary is received from the Mortgagor, who shall have no right or claim against any such tenant or successor in interest for any such Rents so paid to Mortgagee. Each tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest from whom Mortgagee or any officer, agent, attorney or employee of Mortgagee shall have collected any Rents, shall be authorized to pay Rents to Mortgagor only after such tenant or any of their successors in interest shall have received written notice from Mortgagee (such notice to promptly be sent by Mortgagee once an Event of Default is no longer occurring) that the Event of Default is no longer continuing, unless and until a further notice of an Event of Default is given by Mortgagee to such tenant or any of its successors in interest.

(e) Mortgagee will not become a mortgagee in possession so long as it does not enter or take actual possession of the Mortgaged Property. In addition, Mortgagee shall not be responsible or liable for performing any of the obligations of the landlord under any Lease, for any waste by any tenant, or others, for any dangerous or defective conditions of any of the Mortgaged Property, for negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of any of the Mortgaged Property or any other act or omission by any other person.

(f) Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee, within 30 days after a request by Mortgagee to do so, a written statement containing the names of all tenants, subtenants and concessionaires of the Premises or Improvements, the terms of any Lease, the space occupied and the rentals and/or other amounts payable thereunder.

SECTION 1.08. Restrictions on Transfers and Encumbrances. Mortgagor shall not directly or indirectly sell, convey, divest, alienate, assign, lease, sublease, license, mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer, create, consent to or suffer the creation of any lien, charge or other form of encumbrance upon any interest in or any part of the Mortgaged

Property (other than resulting from a condemnation), or engage in any common, cooperative, joint, time-sharing or other congregate ownership of all or part thereof, except in each case in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement; provided, that Mortgagor may, in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with reasonable commercial standards, enter into easement or covenant agreements that relate to and/or benefit the operation of the Mortgaged Property and that do not materially and adversely affect the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

SECTION 1.09. Security Agreement. This Mortgage is both a mortgage of real property and a grant of a security interest in personal property, and shall constitute and serve as a “Security Agreement” within the meaning of the uniform commercial code as adopted in the state wherein the Premises are located (“UCC”). Mortgagor has hereby granted unto Mortgagee a security interest in and to all the Mortgaged Property described in this Mortgage that is not real property, and simultaneously with the recording of this Mortgage, Mortgagor has filed or will file UCC financing statements, and will file continuation statements prior to the lapse thereof, at the appropriate offices in the jurisdiction of formation of the Mortgagor to perfect the security interest granted by this Mortgage in all the Mortgaged Property that is not real property. Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to execute any document and to file the same in the appropriate offices (to the extent it may lawfully do so), and to perform each and every act and thing reasonably requisite and necessary to be done to perfect the security interest contemplated by the preceding sentence. Mortgagee shall have all rights with respect to the part of the Mortgaged Property that is the subject of a security interest afforded by the UCC in addition to, but not in limitation of, the other rights afforded Mortgagee hereunder and under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

SECTION 1.10. Filing and Recording. Mortgagor will cause this Mortgage, the UCC financing statements referred to in Section 1.09, any other security instrument creating a security interest in or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Mortgaged Property and each UCC continuation statement and instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded and, if necessary, refiled, rerecorded and reregistered, in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to perfect the lien hereof upon, and the security interest of Mortgagee in, the Mortgaged Property until this Mortgage is terminated and released in full in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof. Mortgagor will pay all filing, registration and recording fees, all Federal, state, county and municipal recording, documentary or intangible taxes and other taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges, and all reasonable expenses incidental to or arising out of or in connection with the execution, delivery and recording of this Mortgage, UCC continuation statements any mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Personal Property, Permits, Plans and Warranties and Proceeds or any instrument of further assurance.

SECTION 1.11. Further Assurances. Upon reasonable demand by Mortgagee, Mortgagor will, at the cost of Mortgagor and without expense to Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as Mortgagee shall from time to time reasonably require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and confirming unto Mortgagee the property and rights hereby conveyed or assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Mortgagor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage, or for filing, registering or recording this Mortgage, and on demand, Mortgagor will also execute and deliver and hereby appoints Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to execute and file to the extent it may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or comparable security instruments reasonably requested by Mortgagee to evidence more effectively the lien hereof upon the Personal Property and to perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done to accomplish the same.

All right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to all extensions, improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutions and replacements of, and all additions and appurtenances to, the Mortgaged Property hereafter acquired by or released to Mortgagor or constructed, assembled or placed by Mortgagor upon the Premises or the Improvements, and all conversions of the security constituted thereby, immediately upon such acquisition, release, construction, assembling, placement or conversion, as the case may be, and in each such case without any further mortgage, conveyance, assignment or other act by Mortgagor, shall become subject to the lien and security interest of this Mortgage as fully and completely and with the same effect as though now owned by Mortgagor and specifically described in the grant of the Mortgaged Property above, but at any and all times Mortgagor will execute and deliver to Mortgagee any and all such further assurances, mortgages, conveyances or assignments thereof as Mortgagee may reasonably require for the purpose of expressly and specifically subjecting the same to the lien and security interest of this Mortgage.

SECTION 1.13. No Claims Against Mortgagee. Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall constitute any consent or request by Mortgagee, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, nor as giving Mortgagor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against Mortgagee in respect thereof.

SECTION 1.14. Fixture Filing. (a) Certain portions of the Mortgaged Property are or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the UCC) on the Land, and this Mortgage, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said UCC upon such portions of the Mortgaged Property that are or become fixtures.

ARTICLE II

Defaults and Remedies

SECTION 2.01. Events of Default. Any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement (as such term is defined therein) shall constitute an Event of Default under this Mortgage.

SECTION 2.02. Demand for Payment. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, upon written demand of Mortgagee, Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee all amounts due hereunder and under any Loan Document and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of collection, including attorneys’ fees, disbursements and expenses incurred by Mortgagee, and Mortgagee shall be entitled and empowered to institute an action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, to prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, to enforce any such judgment or final decree against Mortgagor and to collect, in any manner provided by law, all moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

SECTION 2.03. Rights To Take Possession, Operate and Apply Revenues. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagor shall, upon demand of Mortgagee, forthwith surrender to Mortgagee actual possession of the Mortgaged Property and, if and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Mortgagee itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may then enter and take possession of all the Mortgaged Property without the appointment of a receiver or an application therefor, exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and have access to the books, papers and accounts of Mortgagor.

(b) If Mortgagor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof after such demand by Mortgagee, Mortgagee may to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, obtain a judgment or decree conferring upon Mortgagee the right to immediate possession or requiring Mortgagor to deliver immediate possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee, to the entry of which judgment or decree Mortgagor hereby specifically consents. Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee, upon demand, all reasonable expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree, including reasonable compensation to Mortgagee’s attorneys and agents with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to overdue amounts under the Credit Agreement as provided in Section 2.07 of the Credit Agreement (the “Interest Rate”); and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by this Mortgage.

(c) Upon every such entry or taking of possession, Mortgagee may, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property, conduct the business thereof and, from time to time, (i) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon, (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property that are reasonably necessary for the operation of the business, (iii) insure or keep the Mortgaged Property insured, (iv) manage and operate the Mortgaged Property and exercise all the rights and powers of Mortgagor to the same extent as Mortgagor could in its own name or otherwise with respect to the same, or (v) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted Mortgagee, all as may from time to time be directed or determined by Mortgagee to reasonably be in its best interest and Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to perform any of the foregoing acts. Mortgagee may collect and receive all the Rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Mortgaged Property, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and, after deducting (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of taking, holding, managing and operating the Mortgaged Property (including compensation for the services of all persons employed for such purposes), (ii) the out-of-pocket costs of all such maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments, improvements, purchases and acquisitions, (iii) the costs of insurance, (iv) such taxes, assessments and other similar charges as Mortgagee may at its option pay, (v) other proper charges upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and (vi) the compensation, expenses and disbursements of the attorneys and agents of Mortgagee, Mortgagee shall apply the remainder of the moneys and proceeds so received first to the payment of the Mortgagee for the satisfaction of the Obligations, and second, if there is any surplus, to Mortgagor, subject to the entitlement of others thereto under applicable law.

(d) Whenever, before any sale of the Mortgaged Property under Section 2.06, all Obligations that are then due shall have been paid and all Events of Default fully cured, Mortgagee will surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property back to Mortgagor, its successors or assigns. The same right of taking possession shall, however, arise again if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.

SECTION 2.04. Right To Cure Mortgagor’s Failure to Perform. Should Mortgagor fail in the payment, performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition required by this Mortgage or the Loan Documents (with respect to the Mortgaged Property), Mortgagee may pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee with interest thereon at the Interest Rate. Mortgagee shall be the judge using reasonable discretion of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. Mortgagee is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Premises or the Improvements or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without having any obligation to so perform or observe and without thereby becoming liable to Mortgagor, to any person in possession holding under Mortgagor or to any other person; provided, however, that except in the case of an emergency, Mortgagee will provide reasonable advance notice of such entry, such entry shall be conducted in a reasonable manner and Mortgagee shall use reasonable efforts to endeavor to minimize the amount of disturbance to the Mortgagor’s possession of the Mortgaged Property.

SECTION 2.05. Right to a Receiver. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Mortgaged Property and to collect and apply the Rents. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located. Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee upon demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including receiver’s fees, reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, costs and agent’s compensation incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.05; and all such expenses shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee with interest thereon at the Interest Rate.

SECTION 2.06. Foreclosure and Sale. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee may elect to sell the Mortgaged Property or any part of the Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of foreclosure or of sale granted to Mortgagee by applicable law or this Mortgage. In such case, Mortgagee may commence a civil action to foreclose this Mortgage, or it may proceed and sell the Mortgaged Property to satisfy any of the Obligations. Mortgagee or an officer appointed by a judgment of foreclosure to sell the Mortgaged Property, may sell all or such parts of the Mortgaged Property as may be chosen by Mortgagee at the time and place of sale fixed by it in a notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate lots, parcels or items as Mortgagee shall deem expedient, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder. Mortgagee or an officer appointed by a judgment of foreclosure to sell the Mortgaged Property may postpone any foreclosure or other sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement or subsequently noticed sale. Without further notice, Mortgagee or an officer appointed to sell the Mortgaged Property may make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale. Any person, including Mortgagor or Mortgagee or any designee or affiliate thereof, may purchase at such sale.

(b) The Mortgaged Property may be sold subject to unpaid taxes and the Liens set forth in Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, and, after deducting all costs, fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Mortgagee (including costs of evidence of title in connection with the sale), Mortgagee or an officer that makes any sale shall apply the proceeds of sale in the manner set forth in Section 2.08.

(c) Any foreclosure or other sale of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Property or any defective or irregular sale made hereunder shall not exhaust the power of foreclosure or of sale provided for herein; and subsequent sales may be made hereunder until the Obligations have been satisfied, or the entirety of the Mortgaged Property has been sold.

(d) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee may instead of, or in addition to, exercising the rights described in Section 2.06(a) above and either with or without entry or taking possession as herein permitted, proceed by a suit or suits in law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to specifically enforce payment of some or all of the Obligations, or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document or any other right, or (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to Mortgagee, all as Mortgagee shall determine most effectual for such purposes.

SECTION 2.07. Other Remedies. (a) In case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee may also exercise, to the extent not prohibited by law, any or all of the remedies available to a secured party under the UCC.

(b) In connection with a sale of the Mortgaged Property or any Personal Property and the application of the proceeds of sale as provided in Section 2.08, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment of and to receive up to the principal amount of the Obligations, plus all other charges, payments and costs due under this Mortgage, and to recover a deficiency judgment for any portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations remaining unpaid, with interest.

SECTION 2.08. Application of Sale Proceeds and Rents. Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and applicable law, after any foreclosure sale of all or any of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee shall receive and apply the proceeds of the sale together with any Rents that may have been collected and any other sums that then may be held by Mortgagee under this Mortgage as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Mortgagee (in their respective capacities as such hereunder or under any other Loan Document) in connection with such collection, sale, foreclosure or realization or otherwise in connection with this Mortgage, any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent and/or the Mortgagee hereunder or under any other Loan Document, as applicable, on behalf of any Mortgagor and any other out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document as applicable;

SECOND, to the payment in full of Unfunded Advances/Participations (the amounts so applied to be distributed between or among the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank pro rata in accordance with the amounts of Unfunded Advances/Participations owed to them on the date of any such distribution);

THIRD, to pay accrued but unpaid interest on any Protective Advances;

FOURTH, to pay the principal of any Protective Advances

FIFTH, to the payment in full of all other Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution);

SIXTH, to the Mortgagor, its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Mortgagee shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Mortgage. Upon any sale of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagee (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Mortgagee or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Mortgaged Property so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Mortgagee or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

SECTION 2.09. Mortgagor as Tenant Holding Over. If Mortgagor remains in possession of any of the Mortgaged Property after any foreclosure sale by Mortgagee, at Mortgagee’s election Mortgagor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith surrender possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed or evicted according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.

Mortgagor waives, to the extent not prohibited by law, (i) the benefit of all laws now existing or that hereafter may be enacted (x) providing for any appraisement or valuation of any portion of the Mortgaged Property and/or (y) in any way extending the time for the enforcement or the collection of amounts due under any of the Obligations or creating or extending a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting said debt or any other amounts due Mortgagee, (ii) any right to at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any homestead exemption, stay, statute of limitations, extension or redemption, or sale of the Mortgaged Property as separate tracts, units or estates or as a single parcel in the event of foreclosure or notice of deficiency, and (iii) all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of or each of the Obligations and marshaling in the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage.

In case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Mortgagor, Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Mortgagee allowed in such proceedings for the Obligations secured by this Mortgage at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any interest accrued, late charges and additional interest or other amounts due or that may become due and payable hereunder after such date.

No failure on the part of Mortgagee to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall constitute a waiver by Mortgagee of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any future Event of Default by Mortgagor.

In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or part of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any vendee or transferee with reference to the Mortgaged Property secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings.

SECTION 2.15. Waiver of Trial by Jury.

(a) The conveyance to Mortgagee of the Mortgaged Property as security created and consummated by this Mortgage shall terminate and be null and void when all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) have been paid in full in cash and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the aggregate L/C Exposure has been reduced to zero (or the only outstanding Letters of Credit have become subject to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank) and the Issuing Banks have no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.

(b) Mortgagor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which Mortgagor ceases to be a Subsidiary.

(c) Upon any sale or other transfer by Mortgagor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement to any person that is not the Borrower or a Guarantor, or, upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the Security Interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.09 of the Credit Agreement, the Security Interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above, the Mortgagee shall promptly execute and deliver to Mortgagor, at Mortgagor’s expense, a release of this Mortgage and all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and similar documents that Mortgagor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.

Mortgages and other Security Documents or of any guarantee thereof, and Mortgagee may at its discretion foreclose, exercise any power of sale, or exercise any other remedy available to it under any or all of the Other Mortgages and other Security Documents without first exercising or enforcing any of its rights and remedies hereunder. Such exercise of Mortgagee’s rights and remedies under any or all of the Other Mortgages and other Security Documents shall not in any manner impair the indebtedness hereby secured or the lien of this Mortgage and any exercise of the rights or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder shall not impair the lien of any of the Other Mortgages and other Security Documents or any of Mortgagee’s rights and remedies thereunder.

Any agreement made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee after the date of this Mortgage relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening or subordinate Mortgage, lien or encumbrance.

SECTION 3.08. Last Dollars Secured; Priority. To the extent that this Mortgage secures only a portion of the indebtedness owing or that may be owing by Mortgagor to the Secured Parties, the parties agree that any payments or repayments of such indebtedness shall be and be deemed to be applied first to the portion of the indebtedness that is not secured hereby, it being the parties’ intent that the portion of the indebtedness last remaining unpaid shall be secured hereby. If at any time this Mortgage shall secure less than all of the principal amount of the Obligations, it is expressly agreed that any repayments of the principal amount of the Obligations shall not reduce the amount secured by the lien and security title of this Mortgage until the secured amount shall equal the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding.

in contravention of this Agreement.

Each Term Loan/Notes Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements or assignments as agent for the ABL Agent.

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or in the definition of ABL Priority Collateral or Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral, to the extent Proceeds of Collateral are Proceeds received from (or are otherwise attributable to the value of) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary that is a Grantor or all or substantially all of the assets of any such Subsidiary, such Proceeds shall constitute (1) first, in an amount equal to the face amount of the Accounts (excluding any rights to payment for any property which specifically constitutes Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral which has been or is to be sold, leased, licensed, exchanged, transferred or otherwise disposed of) and the fair market value of any other ABL Priority Collateral owned by such Subsidiary at the time of such sale, ABL Priority Collateral and (2) second, to the extent in excess of the amounts described in preceding clause (1), Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral.

5.4. Rights As Unsecured Creditors. The Second Priority Agents and the other Second Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Second Priority Documents and applicable Law, but only to the extent that the exercise of any such rights and remedies is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. In the event the Second Priority Secured Parties, as a result of the exercise of their rights as unsecured creditors are granted or otherwise hold a judgment lien in respect of Collateral, such lien shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party of the required payments of interest and principal so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the applicable Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party of foreclosure rights or other remedies as a secured creditor (including any right of setoff) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them or any other act in contravention of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the ABL Agent or the ABL Secured Parties may have with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, or any rights or remedies the Term Loan/Notes Agents or the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties may have with respect to the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral.

governing such ABL Obligations shall automatically be treated as the ABL Credit Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein and the granting by the applicable ABL Agent of amendments, waivers and consents hereunder.

The ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Secured Parties, agrees that, so long as the Discharge of Term Loan/Notes Obligations has not occurred, no ABL Secured Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Term Loan/Notes Agents, seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any part of the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral, any proceeds thereof or any Lien thereon securing any of the ABL Obligations.

This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the institution of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving the Borrower or any other Grantor, including the filing of any petition by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other Bankruptcy Law and all converted or subsequent cases in respect thereof, and all references herein to the Borrower or any Grantor shall be deemed to apply to the trustee for the Borrower or such Grantor and the Borrower or such Grantor as debtor-in-possession. The relative rights of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral shall continue after the institution of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving the Borrower or any other Grantor, including the filing of any petition by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other Bankruptcy Law and all converted cases and subsequent cases, on the same basis as prior to the date of such institution, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, the Borrower or any other Grantor as debtor-in-possession, or any other court order affecting the rights and interests of the parties hereto not in conflict with this Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute a subordination agreement for the purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall be enforceable in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in accordance with its terms.

6.7. Waivers. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, each Term Loan/Notes Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Term Loan/Notes Secured Party, (a) will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar

provision of other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any ABL Collateral, (b) agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim against any ABL Secured Party under the “equities of the case” exception of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of other Bankruptcy Laws for the costs and expenses of preserving or disposing of any of the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and (c) waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of the election by any ABL Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar provision of other Bankruptcy Laws with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral.

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that (a) the claims and interests of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties are not “substantially similar” within the meaning of Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, (b) the grants of the Liens to secure the ABL Obligations and the grants of the Liens to secure the Term Loan/Notes Obligations constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, (c) the ABL Secured Parties’ rights in the Collateral are fundamentally different from the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties’ rights in the Collateral and (d) as a result of the foregoing, among other things, the ABL Obligations and the Term Loan/Notes Obligations must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(b) Except as otherwise set forth below, until the Discharge of Term Loan/Notes Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Secured Parties, agrees that, in the event of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the ABL Secured Parties will not object to or oppose in any manner (or support any Person in objecting to or opposing) a motion with respect to any sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral (including any motion seeking approval of bid procedures) free and clear of the Liens of the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any Bankruptcy Law and shall be deemed to have consented to any such sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral under Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code that has been consented to by the Term Loan/Notes Agents; provided that the proceeds of such sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral shall be applied to the Term Loan/Notes Obligations or the ABL Obligations in accordance with Sections 4.2 and 4.3, or if not so applied, the Liens of the ABL Agent in such Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral shall attach to the proceeds of such disposition subject to the relative priorities set forth in Section 2.1 hereof.

6.10. Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of any reorganized Grantor secured by Liens upon any property of such reorganized Grantor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization, on account of both the ABL Obligations and the Term Loan/Notes Obligations, then, to the extent that the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the Term Loan/Notes Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

6.11. Other Bankruptcy Laws. In the event that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is filed in a jurisdiction other than the United States or is governed by any Bankruptcy Law other than the Bankruptcy Code, each reference in this Agreement to a section of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed to refer to the substantially similar or corresponding provision of the Bankruptcy Law applicable to such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, or in the absence of any specific similar or corresponding provision of the Bankruptcy Law, such other general Bankruptcy Law as may be applied in order to achieve substantially the same result as would be achieved under each applicable section of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 8. Reliance; Waivers; etc.

8.1. Reliance. The consent by the First Priority Secured Parties to the incurrence by the Borrower and the other Grantors of the Second Priority Obligations, the execution and delivery of the Second Priority Documents and the grant to each applicable Second Priority Agent on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Parties of a Lien on the Collateral and all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the First Priority Secured Parties to the Borrower or any other Grantor shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement.

8.2. No Warranties or Liability. Except as set forth in Section 9.14, neither the First Priority Agent nor any First Priority Secured Party shall have been deemed to have made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the First Priority Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The First Priority Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the First Priority Documents in accordance with Law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the First Priority Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that any Second Priority Agent or any of the Second Priority Secured Parties have in the Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither the First Priority Agent nor any First Priority Secured Party shall have any duty to any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including the Second Priority Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, none of the parties hereto waives any claim that it may have against a Term Loan/Notes Agent or the ABL Agent, as applicable, on the grounds that any sale, transfer or other disposition by such Term Loan/Notes Agent or ABL Agent (as applicable) was not commercially reasonable to the extent required by the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the First Priority Agent, the First Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Agent and the Second Priority Secured Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectability of any of the First Priority Obligations, the Second Priority Obligations or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) the Borrower’s or any other Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

8.3. Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the First Priority Agent and the First Priority Secured Parties, and the Second Priority Agent and the Second Priority Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any First Priority Documents or any Second Priority Documents;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the First Priority Obligations or Second Priority Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including, subject to Sections 4.2 and 4.3 hereof, any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement or any other ABL Loan Document or of the terms of the Term Loan/Notes Agreements or any other Term Loan/Notes Document;

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

Each Second Priority

Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby waives any right it may have under applicable Law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(a) No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the ABL Agent or the Term Loan/Notes Agents shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of the party making the same or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. No Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except, in the case of the Grantors, to the extent that their rights or obligations are directly adversely affected.

(b) Subject to compliance with Section 9.3(d) below, upon any Refinancing in full of the ABL Credit Agreement, a Term Loan/Notes Agreement or any other Debt Agreement as then in effect, the Grantors will be permitted to designate the agreement which Refinances the ABL Credit Agreement, such Term Loan/Notes Agreement or such other Debt Agreement as a replacement ABL Credit Agreement (the “Replacement ABL Credit Agreement”), Term Loan/Notes Agreement or other Debt Agreement in which case such designated agreement shall thereafter constitute the ABL Credit Agreement, applicable Term Loan/Notes Agreement or other Debt Agreement, as the case may be, for purposes hereof; provided that each predecessor ABL Credit Agreement, Term Loan/Notes Agreement and/or other Debt Agreement shall continue to be bound by (and entitled to the benefits of) the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, Section 6.5 hereof) as applied to such agreements, the related agreements and all Obligations thereunder prior to the Refinancing thereof.

(c) Subject to compliance with the following clauses (d) through (g), notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.3 to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time at the request of the Borrower in accordance with clauses (d) through (g) below, at the Borrower’s expense, and without the consent of any ABL Agent or Term Loan/Notes Agent to (i) add Additional Holders of Future

Secured Term Indebtedness (or Additional Agents therefor) to the extent such Indebtedness and related obligations (and the Liens thereon) are not prohibited by the Term Loan/Notes Documents or the ABL Credit Agreement, as applicable, (ii) in the case of Additional Senior-Priority Debt, (1) establish that the Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the obligations in respect of such Additional Senior-Priority Debt shall rank junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligations and shall share in the benefits of the ABL Priority Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any Senior-Priority Obligations and that the Lien on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral securing the obligations in respect of such Additional Senior-Priority Debt shall rank senior in all respects to all Liens on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligations and shall share in the benefits of the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral securing any Senior-Priority Obligations, and (2) provide to the Additional Holders of such Additional Senior-Priority Debt (or any Additional Agents thereof) the comparable rights and benefits (including any improved rights and benefits that have been consented to by the ABL Agent) as are provided to the holders of Senior-Priority Obligations under this Agreement and (iii) in the case of Additional Junior-Priority Debt, (1) establish that the Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing Indebtedness and other obligations in respect of such Additional Junior-Priority Debt shall rank junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligations and shall share in the benefits of the ABL Priority Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any then existing Junior-Priority Obligations and that the Lien on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral securing the obligations in respect of such Additional Junior-Priority Debt shall rank senior in all respects to all Liens on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligations and shall share in the benefits of the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral securing any Junior-Priority Obligations, and (2) provide to the Additional Holders of such Additional Junior-Priority Debt (or any Additional Agent in respect thereof) the comparable rights and benefits (including any improved rights and benefits that have been consented to by the ABL Agent) as are provided to the holders of any other then existing Junior-Priority Obligations under this Agreement.

(d) Upon the execution and delivery of any Replacement ABL Credit Agreement, Term Loan/Notes Agreement or other Debt Agreement (as contemplated by the preceding clause (b)) or any Debt Agreement with respect to any Future Secured Term Indebtedness (as contemplated by the preceding clause (c)):

(i) the Borrower shall deliver to the ABL Agent and each Term Loan/Notes Agent an officer’s certificate stating that the applicable Grantors (x) in the case of preceding clause (b), intend to enter or have entered into a Refinancing, in whole or in part, of the ABL Credit Agreement, a Term Loan/Notes Agreement or any other Debt Agreement, as the case may be, that such agreement shall thereafter (upon any such Refinancing in full) constitute the ABL Credit Agreement, applicable Term Loan/Notes Agreement or another Debt Agreement, as the case may be, and certifying to each applicable Agent that such Refinancing is permitted by the ABL Credit Agreement, each applicable Term Loan/Notes Agreement and each other applicable Debt Agreement, as applicable (exclusive of any such agreement which is then being Refinanced in full), or (y) in the case of preceding clause (c), intend to enter or have entered into a Debt Agreement with

respect to such Future Secured Term Indebtedness, and certifying to each applicable Agent that the issuance or incurrence of such Future Secured Term Indebtedness and the Liens securing the Indebtedness and other obligations in respect of such Future Secured Term Indebtedness are permitted by the ABL Credit Agreement, the applicable Term Loan/Notes Agreements and each other applicable Debt Agreement, as applicable. Each applicable Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the determination of the Borrower that such issuance and/or incurrence does not violate the provisions of the ABL Loan Documents, the applicable Term Loan/Notes Documents or any other applicable Debt Agreement; provided, however, that such determination will not affect whether or not the each applicable Grantor has complied with its undertakings in the ABL Loan Documents or the Term Loan/Notes Documents or each other Debt Agreement, as applicable; and

(ii) (x) in the case of the preceding clause (b), the Borrower shall provide prompt prior written notice to each then existing ABL Agent and Term Loan/Notes Agent of the new ABL Credit Agreement, Term Loan/Notes Agreement or other Debt Agreement, as the case may be, together with copies thereof, and identifying the Additional Agent thereunder, and providing its notice information for purposes hereof, and such Additional Agent shall execute and deliver an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder which is acknowledged by each then existing ABL Agent and Term Loan/Notes Agent, or (y) in the case of an amendment, supplement or other modification to this Agreement with respect to Future Secured Term Indebtedness as contemplated by the preceding clause (c), the Borrower shall provide prior written notice to each then existing ABL Agent and Term Loan/Notes Agent and the Additional Agent for such Future Secured Term Indebtedness shall execute and deliver to the ABL Agent and each other Term Loan/Notes Agent an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder acknowledging that such holders shall be bound by the terms hereof to the extent applicable to Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties which is acknowledged by each then existing ABL Agent and Term Loan/Notes Agent.

(e) In each case above, each Term Loan/Notes Agent and the ABL Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, supplements or other modifications to this Agreement) (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the party executing the same (provided that such document or agreement shall be deemed to be reasonably satisfactory to such party if the amendments set forth therein are consistent in all respects with the terms of this Agreement)) as the Borrower, any other Term Loan/Notes Agent or ABL Agent (but no other Secured Party) may reasonably request in order to provide to it the rights, remedies and powers and authorities contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all respects with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) In the case of a designation of a new Term Loan/Notes Agreement or other Debt Agreement with respect to Future Secured Term Indebtedness pursuant to preceding clause (b) or (c), the ABL Agent and any other Term Loan/Notes Agent shall promptly (i) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the party executing the same) as the Borrower or such Additional Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the Additional Agent the

rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in the case of clause (b) only, deliver to the Additional Agent any Pledged Collateral (to the extent constituting Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral) held by such ABL Agent or (subject to the terms of the Junior-Priority Intercreditor Agreement and applicable Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement) such other Term Loan/Notes Agent, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Additional Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The Additional Agent shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new Term Loan/Notes Obligations under the new Term Loan/Notes Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of the type constituting Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral that do not also secure the ABL Obligations, then the ABL Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the ABL Security Documents with respect to the other Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral. If the new Term Loan/Notes Obligations under the new Term Loan/Notes Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of the type constituting ABL Priority Collateral that do not also secure the ABL Obligations, then the ABL Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the ABL Security Documents with respect to the other ABL Priority Collateral.

(g) It is understood that the ABL Agent and the Designated Term Loan/Notes Agent, without the consent of any other ABL Secured Party or Term Loan/Notes Secured Party, may in their discretion determine that a supplemental agreement (which may take the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) is necessary or appropriate to facilitate having additional Indebtedness or other obligations of any of the Grantors become Term Loan/Notes Obligations or ABL Obligations, as the case may be, under this Agreement (such Indebtedness or other obligations, “Additional Debt”), which supplemental agreement shall, if applicable, specify whether such Additional Debt constitutes Term Loan/Notes Obligations or ABL Obligations; provided that such Additional Debt is permitted to be incurred under any ABL Credit Agreement and any Term Loan/Notes Agreement then extant in accordance with the terms thereof. Each such supplemental agreement (x) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the ABL Agent and the Designated Term Loan/Notes Agent, (y) shall be executed by the agent with respect to the applicable series of Additional Debt (and, upon the effectiveness of such supplemental agreement, such agent shall become an “ABL Agent” or a “Term Loan/Notes Agent”, as the case may be, hereunder) and (z) shall provide, in a manner satisfactory to the ABL Agent and the Designated Term Loan/Notes Agent, that the agent with respect to any applicable series of Additional Debt and each holder of such series of Additional Debt shall be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement, as so supplemented, in its capacity as a holder of such series of Additional Debt.

In the event that the ABL Agent, any ABL Secured Party, any Term Loan/Notes Agent or any Term Loan/Notes Secured Party, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it or they shall be under no obligation (w) to make, and the ABL Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the Term Loan/Notes Agents and the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties shall not make, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (x) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (y) to undertake any investigation or (z) to disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

Loan/Notes Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security that may at any time secure any part of the Term Loan/Notes Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor.

Neither the Term Loan/Notes Agents nor the ABL Agent shall have any obligation either prior to or after receiving such notice to inquire whether such an Event of Default has, in fact, occurred and shall be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any notice so furnished to it.

9.19. Relationship with Other Intercreditor Agreements. (a) The purpose of this Agreement is to define the relative rights and priorities between the ABL Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties, on the other hand. This Agreement is the “ABL Intercreditor Agreement” referred to in the ABL Credit Agreement and the Senior-Priority Non-ABL Loan Agreement.

(b) Solely as among the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties, the Senior-Priority Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior-Priority Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and/or the Junior-Priority Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall define the relative rights and priorities of such Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties (as amongst each other) with respect to the Collateral. As among the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties, nothing herein (including, without limitation, Section 6.8) is intended to alter their relative rights and obligations, which shall be governed by the Senior-Priority Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreements, Junior-Priority Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and/or Junior-Priority Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, or to require that such rights and obligations be treated as a single class in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

9.20. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the First Priority Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Second Priority Secured Parties, on the other hand. None of the Borrower, any other Grantor, any Guarantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights or obligations, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, hereunder and none of the Borrower, any other Grantor or any Guarantor may rely on the terms hereof.

9.21. Additional Grantors. The Borrower will promptly cause each Person that becomes a Grantor to execute and deliver to the ABL Agent and the Term Loan/Notes Agents party hereto an acknowledgment to this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A, whereupon such Person will be bound by the terms hereof to the same extent as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date hereof. The Secured Parties and the Grantors hereto further agree that, notwithstanding any failure to take the actions required by the immediately preceding sentence, each Person that becomes a Grantor at any time (and any security granted by any such Person) shall be subject to the provisions hereof as fully as if the same constituted a Grantor party hereto and had complied with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence.

9.22. Application of Proceeds. Any Collateral or proceeds thereof or payment with respect thereto received by the Designated Term Loan/Notes Agent in accordance with this Agreement shall be applied by such Agent (i) for the benefit of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties in accordance with the Senior-Priority Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable, and/or the other Senior-Priority Documents and (ii) for the benefit of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties in accordance with the Junior-Priority Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable, and/or the other Junior-Priority Documents.
