As used in this Section 1.2(e), “Material Acquisition” means any acquisition of property or series of related acquisitions of property that (i) constitutes assets comprising all or substantially all of an operating unit of a business or constitutes all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of a Person and (ii) involves the payment of Consideration by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in excess of $1,000,000; and “Material Disposition” means any Disposition of property or series of related Dispositions of property that yields gross proceeds to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in excess of $1,000,000.

(g) For avoidance of doubt, in order to determine pursuant to any provision of Section 7 that no Default or Event of Default results from a particular transaction, pro forma compliance with Section 7.1 shall be required.

(h) All Loans, Letters of Credit and accrued and unpaid amounts (including interest and fees) owing by the Borrower to any Person under the Existing Credit Agreement that have not been paid to such Persons on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date shall continue as Loans, Letters of Credit and accrued and unpaid amounts hereunder on the Restatement Effective Date and shall be payable on the dates such amounts would have been payable pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement (except to the extent the principal of any loans have been converted or exchanged in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on the Restatement Effective Date), and from and after the Restatement Effective Date, interest, fees and other amounts shall accrue as provided under this Agreement.

(i) For purposes of determining compliance with any covenant in Section 7 that limits the maximum amount of any Investment, Restricted Payment, Indebtedness, Lien or Disposition, all utilization of the “baskets” contained in Section 7 from and after the Original Restatement Effective Date and prior to the Restatement Effective Date shall be taken into account (in addition to any utilization of such baskets from and after the Restatement Effective Date).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Required Lenders, (A) no Incremental Term Loans may be borrowed after the Restatement Effective Date if after giving effect to the borrowing of such Incremental Term Loans and the application of proceeds therefrom on the date such Incremental Term Loans are borrowed the aggregate principal amount of all Classes of Term Loans and First Lien Notes would exceed the First Lien Term Cap and (B) no Net Cash Proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans that are not Refinancing Term Loans shall be directly applied to prepay outstanding Term Loans, (C) each increase effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount of at least $100,000,000 and (D) no Incremental Term Loans may be borrowed if a Default or Event of Default is in existence after giving pro forma effect thereto.

(g) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (an “Existing Class”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment or payments of principal (including at final maturity) with respect to such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.1(g). In order to establish a Series of Extended Term Loans, the Borrower

-35-

shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Class) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall be identical in all material respects to the Term Loans under the Existing Class from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted except that (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal and payment at maturity of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal and payment at maturity of the Term Loans of such Existing Class to the extent provided in the applicable Incremental Activation Notice, (ii) the Applicable Margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans of such Existing Class and upfront fees may be paid to the Extending Term Lenders, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Incremental Activation Notice, (iii) the Incremental Activation Notice with respect to such Extended Term Loans may specify that Interest Periods of one or two months will be available for such Extended Term Loans[Reserved] and (iv) the Incremental Activation Notice may provide for other covenants and terms (x) that apply solely to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans and Commitments in effect on the effective date of the Incremental Activation Notice immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans, or after approval thereof by the Required Lenders or (y) that are less favorable to the holders of the Extended Term Loans than the covenants and terms applicable to the Existing Class. The Borrowers shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders are requested to respond. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender (an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of the applicable Existing Class subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans of the applicable Existing Class which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements reasonably imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans of the applicable Existing Class subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans of the applicable Existing Class subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans of the applicable Existing Class included in each such Extension Election. The final terms of the Extended Term Loans (which shall be consistent with the Extension Request) and the allocations of the Extended Term Loans among the Extending Term Lenders shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Activation Notice entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Extending Term Lender’s Election Request shall be deemed to be an authorization for the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to enter into such Incremental Activation Notice in accordance with the requirements set forth above in this Section 2.1(g) and to bind such Extending Term Lender thereby.

(h) The Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including Persons that become Lenders in connection therewith) may from time to time agree that such Lenders will establish Revolving Commitments through (A) the provision of a new Revolving Commitment by any such Lender, (B) the conversion of a previously established Revolving Commitment of any such Lender to such Extended Revolving Commitment of such Lender or (C) the conversion of a Non-Revolving Commitment of any such Lender to such an Extended Revolving Commitment (and a proportionate conversion of the Non-Revolving Loans of such Lender to Revolving Loans) from such Lender (any Revolving Commitments being established pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) above and in accordance with this Section 2.1(h), an “Extended Revolving Commitment”, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall also be a “Revolving Commitment”), in each case, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Activation Notice specifying (i) the amount of Extended Revolving Commitments established thereby and whether such Extended Revolving Commitments are being established pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) of the foregoing sentence, (ii) the Revolving Termination Date for such Extended Revolving

-36-

Commitments; provided that the Revolving Termination Date for any Extended Revolving Commitments shall in no event be earlier than the Revolving Termination Date for the Revolving Commitments established on the Restatement Effective Date and there shall not be more than three (3) Revolving Termination Dates in effect at any time, (iii) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans and fees in respect of participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to such Extended Revolving Commitments and the Commitment Fee Rate for commitment fees payable with respect to such Extended Revolving Commitments; provided that (x) in no event shall there be more than three (3) Applicable Margins in effect in the aggregate for all Revolving Commitments at any time and (y) either (A) the Applicable Margins for Revolving Loans, fees in respect of participations in Letters of Credit and the Commitment Fee Rate for all Revolving Commitments that have the same Revolving Termination Date shall be the same (although different upfront fees may be paid by the Borrower) or (B) the maximum number of Revolving Termination Dates permitted to be in effect at any time shall be reduced by the number of such different Applicable Margins and fees in excess of one applicable to Revolving Commitments with the same Revolving Termination Date and (iv) whether clause (ii) above shall be amended to provide that future Extended Revolving Commitments may not have a Revolving Termination Date prior to the Revolving Termination Date for such Extended Revolving Commitments. Except as set forth above, the terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments shall be identical in all material respects to the Revolving Commitments established on the Restatement Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Required Lenders, no Extended Revolving Commitments may be established following the Restatement Effective Date if after giving effect to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Commitments (and any concurrent reduction in the amount of any other Revolving Commitments or Non-Revolving Commitments) the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments plus the aggregate amount of Non-Revolving Commitments then in effect would exceed the Revolving Commitment Cap. No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion. The consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required with respect to each Lender providing an Extended Revolving Commitment to the extent such Lender is not already a Revolving Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender. On each date on which Extended Revolving Commitments are established, each Revolving Lender shall purchase at par from and/or sell at par to each of the other Revolving Lenders such portions of the outstanding Revolving Loans (including, if applicable, Revolving Loans converted from Non-Revolving Loans as a result of the conversion of any Non-Revolving Commitment), if any, as may be specified by the Administrative Agent so that, immediately following such purchases, all Eurodollar Tranches of Revolving Loans and all ABR Loans that are Revolving Loans shall be held by the Revolving Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages.

2.2. Procedure for Borrowing. In order to effect a borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, (a) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (b) one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans) (provided that any such Notice of Borrowing of ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility to finance payments required by Section 3.5 may be given not later than 1:00 P.M. New York City time, on the date of the proposed borrowing), specifying (i) the Class of Loan to be borrowed, (ii) the amount and Type of Loans to be borrowed, (iii) the requested Borrowing Date and (iv) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate relevant Available Revolving Commitments are less than $5,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that the Swingline Lender may request, on behalf of the Borrower, borrowings under the

-37-

Revolving Commitments that are ABR Loans in other amounts pursuant to Section 2.5. Upon receipt of any Notice of Borrowing from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. Each relevant Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent (in the case of any Revolving Loan, based on respective Revolving Percentages of the Revolving Lenders) for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 1210:00 NoonA.M., New York City time (or 2:00 P.M., New York City time in respect of ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility to finance payments required by Section 3.5), on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent; provided that, in the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent any portion of such amount prior to 1210:30 PA.M. New York City time (or 2:30 P.M., New York City time in respect of ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility to finance payments required by Section 3.5) on the relevant Borrowing Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have provided notice to the Swingline Lender in accordance with Section 2.5 requesting a Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of any such shortfall, rounded up to the applicable whole multiple of $500,000 (but in no event exceeding, together with all outstanding Swingline Loans, the Swingline Commitment). Such borrowing (including any such Swingline Loan) will then be made available not later than 111:00 PA.M., New York City time (or 3:00 P.M., New York City time in respect of ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility to finance payments required by Section 3.5), to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the relevant Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

2.4. Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 2.5, to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Revolving Commitments from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period for any Revolving Commitments by making swingline loans (“Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Loans hereunder, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect), (b) the Borrower shall not request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero and (c) the Swingline Lender shall be under no obligation to make any Swingline Loan at any time that any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements, including, if requested, the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Swingline Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.21(a)(iii)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Swingline Loan to be made and all other Swingline Loans as to which such Swingline Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. During the Revolving Commitment Period for any Revolving Commitments, the Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

-39-

2.5. Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans.

(a) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period for any Revolving Commitments). Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.

(b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion and in consultation with the Borrower (provided that the failure to so consult shall not affect the ability of the Swingline Lender to make the following request) may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans.

(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.5(b), one of the events described in Section 8(g) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.5(b), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.5(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans.

(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Xxxxxx’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Xxxxxx’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided,

-40-

however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(e) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.5(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.5(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.6. Commitment Fees, Etc.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a nonrefundable commitment fee through the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period for such Revolving Xxxxxx’s Revolving Commitment computed at the Commitment Fee Rate for such Revolving Commitment on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

2.7. Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the proposed date of termination or reduction, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Revolving Lender would exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000, or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect and shall be applied to reduce the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders as the Borrower may designate, but in any event, in the case of Revolving Commitments with the same Revolving Termination Date, on a pro rata basis among such Revolving Commitments based on the respective amount of such Revolving Commitments of each Revolving Lender. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable, provided that such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the consummation of a particular Disposition or the occurrence of a change of control, 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.

(b) On the Restatement Effective Date, the Non-Revolving Commitment of each applicable Lender shall be automatically reduced to the extent necessary so that such Lender’s Non-Revolving Commitment is equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Xxxxxx’s outstanding Non-Revolving Loans. In connection with any prepayment or repayment of Non-Revolving Loans of any

-41-

Lender following the Restatement Effective Date, the Non-Revolving Commitment of such Lender shall automatically be reduced concurrently with such repayment or prepayment by an amount equal to the principal amount of its Non-Revolving Loans so repaid or prepaid on such date.

2.8. Optional Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans of any Class, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, at least three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, at least one Business Day prior thereto in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment, the Class of Loans being prepaid and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18; provided, further, that (i) the Term B-2 Loans may not be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.8(a) at any time that any Term B-1 Loans are outstanding unless such prepayment is in connection with a proportional (or greater) prepayment of Term B-1 Loans (based on the respective principal amounts outstanding of Term B-1 Loans and Term B-2 Loans, respectively) and (ii) Term C Loans may not be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.8(a) at any time that any Term B-1 Loans or Term B-2 Loans are outstanding unless such prepayment is in connection with a proportional (or greater) prepayment of Term B-1 Loans and Term B-2 Loans (based on the respective principal amounts outstanding of Term B-1 Loans, Term B-2 Loans and Term C Loans, respectively). Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable, provided that such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the consummation of a particular Disposition or the occurrence of a change of control, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any prepayment of Loans of any Class pursuant to this Section 2.8(a) shall be applied to the Loans of such Class of each Lender on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective amounts of such Loans held by each such Lender.

(b)

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.8(a), the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Term Loans of any Class, to the Lenders at a prepayment price which is less than, equal to or greater than the principal amount of such Term Loans and on a non pro rata basis (each, an “Offered Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 2.8(b); provided that (A) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to all Offered Voluntary Prepayments made on or after the Refresh Effective Date shall not exceed $1,000,000,000, (B) no Offered Voluntary Prepayment may be made if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if, after giving effect to such Offered Voluntary Prepayment, Available Liquidity would be less than $250,000,000, (C) any Offered Voluntary Prepayment shall be offered to all Lenders with Term Loans of the Class selected by the Borrower on a pro rata basis and (D) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower stating that

-42-

(1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such Offered Voluntary Prepayment, (2) each of the conditions to such Offered Voluntary Prepayment contained in this Section 2.8(b) has been satisfied and (3)(A) the Borrower has no Material Information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Loans that has not been provided to the Administrative Agent for disclosure to the Lenders or to the public and (B) it was not directed to make the prepayment offer by any Affiliate which, to the knowledge of the Borrower following due inquiry, had any such undisclosed Material Information.

(ii) To the extent the Borrower seeks to make an Offered Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrower will provide written notice from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit J (each, an “Offered Prepayment Option Notice”) that the Borrower desires to prepay Term Loans of a specified Class in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by the Borrower (each, a “Proposed Offered Prepayment Amount”). The Proposed Offered Prepayment Amount shall not be less than $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount if the Term Loans of such specified Class have a lower aggregate amount outstanding at such time). The Offered Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Offered Voluntary Prepayment: (A) the Proposed Offered Prepayment Amount for Term Loans and the Class of Term Loans with respect to such offer is being made, (B) an offered prepayment price range (which may be a single percentage) selected by the Borrower with respect to such proposed Offered Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of Term Loans of the applicable Class (the “Offered Range”) and (C) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Offered Voluntary Prepayment (the “Acceptance Date”) which shall be at least five Business Days following the date of such Offered Prepayment Option Notice is delivered.

(iii) Upon receipt of an Offered Prepayment Option Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each such Lender may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto (each, a “Lender Participation Notice”; it being understood that a Lender may deliver more than one Lender Participation Notice, and that each such Lender Participation Notice of such Lender shall constitute an independent and unconditional offer, and no such Lender Participation Notice may be contingent on the making of any prepayment with respect to the Offered Loans in respect of any other Lender Participation Notice, or otherwise be contingent or conditional in any way) to the Administrative Agent (A) a minimum price (the “Acceptable Price”) within the Offered Range at which such Lender is willing to accept a prepayment of a portion of its Term Loans of the applicable Class and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of Term Loans of such Class held by such Lender with respect to which such Xxxxxx is willing to permit an Offered Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Price (“Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable Prices and principal amounts of Term Loans of the applicable Class specified by the Lenders in the applicable Lender Participation Notice, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall determine the applicable prepayment price for Term Loans pursuant to such Offered Voluntary Prepayment (the “Applicable Price”), which Applicable Price shall be (A) the percentage specified by the Borrower if the Borrower has selected a single percentage pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(ii) for the Offered Voluntary Prepayment or (B) otherwise, the lowest Acceptable Price at which the Borrower can pay the Proposed Offered Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the lowest Acceptable Price); provided, however, that in the event that such Proposed Offered Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Price, the Applicable Price shall be the highest Acceptable Price specified by the Lenders that is within the Offered Range. The Applicable Price shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Offered Voluntary Prepayment and have Qualifying Loans (as defined below). Any Lender with outstanding Loans whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the

-43-

Administrative Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept an Offered Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Loans at the Applicable Price.

(iv) The Borrower shall make an Offered Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying those Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) of the applicable Class offered by the Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Price (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Price; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Offered Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Price, the Borrower shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Offered Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Price, the Borrower shall prepay all Qualifying Loans.

(v) Each Offered Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five Business Days of the Acceptance Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree, given the time required to calculate the Applicable Price and determine the amount and holders of Qualifying Loans), without premium or penalty (and not subject to Section 2.18), upon irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto (each an “Offered Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the date of such Offered Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Offered Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Price determined by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Offered Voluntary Prepayment Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Offered Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Lenders, subject to the Applicable Price on the applicable Term Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to but not including such date on the amount prepaid.

(vi) Prior to the delivery of an Offered Voluntary Prepayment Notice, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) the Borrower may withdraw its offer to make an Offered Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Offered Prepayment Option Notice and (B) any Lender may withdraw its offer to participate in any Offered Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Lender Participation Notice.

(vii) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Offered Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to reasonable procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Price in accordance with Section 2.8(b)(iii) above) established by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower. It is understood and agreed that the Borrower may employ a financial institution or other advisor (whether or not an affiliate of the Administrative Agent) to act as an arranger in connection with any Offered Voluntary Prepayment and, in such event, the Administrative Agent agrees, subject to its internal agency policies, to provide such reasonable cooperation as may be requested by the Borrower in order to facilitate communications from such arranger to the Lenders and otherwise to provide access to Lender Participation Notices.

2.9. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) If on any date the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, with respect to an amount equal to 75% of such Net

-44-

Cash Proceeds (“Allocated Proceeds”; provided that the Borrower or such Subsidiary may instead deem a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds equal to the first 75% of the Total Net Proceeds to the Borrower or such Subsidiary from such Asset Sale or Recovery Event, when and as received, to be the Allocated Proceeds of such Asset Sale or Recovery Event), (i) if such Allocated Proceeds are not Reinvestment Proceeds, such Allocated Proceeds shall be applied on the fifth Business Day after the date such proceeds are received toward the prepayment of the Term Loans or (ii) if such Allocated Proceeds are Reinvestment Proceeds, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the relevant Reinvestment Prepayment Amount shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans in the manner specified in Section 2.9(c); provided that, notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the extent that the terms of the documentation for any First Lien Notes require that a portion of such Allocated Proceeds be applied to purchase First Lien Notes pursuant to a mandatory offer to purchase such First Lien Notes, such Allocated Proceeds may be applied to prepay Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.9(c) and purchase First Lien Notes on a pro rata basis based on the respective amounts of Term Loans and First Lien Notes then outstanding.

(b) If on any date the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event then with respect to an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans in the manner specified in Section 2.9(c).

(c) The application of any amounts required to be applied to a prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.9(a) shall be made on a pro rata basis to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding (except to the extent that any Incremental Activation Notice for any Class of Incremental Term Loans or Extended Term Loans provide that such Incremental Term Loans or Extended Term Loans shall participate on a lesser basis or not participate at all). The application of any amounts required to be applied to a prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.9(b) shall be made, at the Borrower’s option (by notice to the Administrative Agent), either (i) on a pro rata basis to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding or (ii) to the Term Loans of each Class in direct order of maturity (based on the respective Term Maturity Dates for such Classes) and, if more than one Class of Term Loans has the same Term Maturity Date, on a pro rata basis between such Classes of Term Loans based on the respective principal amount of such Classes of Term Loans then outstanding. Amounts required to be applied to the prepayment of Term Loans of any Class shall be applied first, to ABR Loans of such Class and, second, to Eurodollar Loans of such Class. Each prepayment of the Term Loans under this Section 2.9 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

2.10. Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans of any Class to ABR Loans of such Class by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans of any Class to Eurodollar Loans of such Class by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 P.M. New York City time, on the third Business Day prior to the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior to the expiration of the

-45-

then current Interest Period, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that (i) if so required by the Administrative Agent, no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph, the relevant Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to Eurodollar Loans having a one-month Interest Period on the last day of the then expiring Interest Period (or if such Eurodollar Loan is not permitted to have a one-month Interest Period, a three-month Interest Period). Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.11. Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than fifteen Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.12. Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the Applicable Margins (based on the Revolving Percentages of the Revolving Lenders in such Reimbursement Obligations) for ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans of the relevant Class (and, in the case of the amount payable to any Revolving Lender, based on the Applicable Margins then in effect for such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitments) plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Class, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility (based on the highest Applicable Margins then in effect for any Revolving Commitments) plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

-46-

2.13. Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.12(a).

2.14. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of any Class of Loans that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, (x) any Eurodollar Loans of the relevant Class requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans of the relevant Class that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans of the relevant Class shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans of the relevant Class shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans of the relevant Class to Eurodollar Loans.

2.15. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Except for payments pursuant to Section 2.8(b) (which shall reduce only all installments of principal on the Term Loans prepaid), the amount of each principal prepayment of Term Loans of any Class shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of principal of such Class on a pro rata basis based upon the then remaining principal amount of such installments. Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim

-47-

and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees and other amounts then due and payable by the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due to such parties, and (iii) third, towards the payment of all other amounts then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amount of such amounts then due to such parties. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Xxxxxx’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans of the relevant Class, on demand, from the Borrower. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower against any Lender.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment being made hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days of such required date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

-48-

(e) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Section 5.2 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

2.16. Requirements of Law.

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Original Restatement Effective Date:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.17 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Original Restatement Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Xxxxxx’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a

-49-

retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.17. Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Xxxxxx’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

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

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of

-50-

Exhibit F and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). The inability of a Non-U.S. Lender (or a Transferee) to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) as a result of a change in law after the date such Lender (or a Transferee) becomes a Lender (or a Transferee) hereunder or as a result of a change in circumstances of the Borrower or the use of proceeds of such Lender’s (or Transferee’s) Loans shall not constitute a failure to comply with this Section 2.17(d) and accordingly the indemnities to which such Person is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall not be affected as a result of such inability. If a Lender (or Transferee) as to which the preceding sentence does not apply is unable to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.17(d), the sole consequence of such failure to deliver as a result of such inability shall be that the indemnity described in Section 2.17(a) hereof for any Non-Excluded Taxes shall not be available to such Lender or Transferee with respect to the period that would otherwise be covered by such form.

(e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from non-U.S. 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 or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Xxxxxx’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

(f) Any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any indemnity payment or additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17(a) shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower if the making of such a filing would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amounts that may thereafter accrue.

(g) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.18. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that

-51-

would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market; provided that such calculation may not take into account any Eurodollar “floor”. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.19. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.16 or 2.17(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17(a).

2.20. Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17(a) or (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) in the case of clause (a), prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.19 which has eliminated the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.18 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, such replacement financial institution, if not previously a Revolving Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender), (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Agents or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

In the event that any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) fails to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof or of any other Loan Document that requires the unanimous approval of all of the Lenders or the approval of all of the Lenders directly affected thereby, in each case in accordance with the terms of Section 10.1, the Borrower shall be permitted to replace such Non-Consenting Lender with a replacement financial institution satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (if such replacement financial institution was not already a Lender) and, if such replacement involves the assignment of a Revolving Commitment to a Person other than a Revolving Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender, so long as the consent of the Required Lenders shall have been obtained with respect to such amendment,

-52-

modification, termination, waiver or consent; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation or determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority, (ii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents on or prior to the date of replacement, (iii) the replacement financial institution shall approve the proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to the Non-Consenting Lender under Section 2.18 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to the Non-Consenting Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the Non-Consenting Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6(c) (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vi) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay to the Non-Consenting Lender all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, as the case may be, (vii) the Borrower provides at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Non-Consenting Lender, and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the Non-Consenting Lender. In the event any Non-Consenting Lender fails to execute the agreements required under Section 10.6 in connection with an assignment pursuant to this Section 2.20, the Borrower may, upon two Business Days’ prior notice to the Non-Consenting Lender, execute such agreements on behalf of the Non-Consenting Lender.

2.21. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit based upon the Fronting Exposure arising from that Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Revolving Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Revolving Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or any unreimbursed drawing under any Letter of Credit in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made or

-53-

Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21(a)(i) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(ii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.6(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender during such period) (and the Borrower shall (A) be required to pay to each applicable Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of such fee allocable to its Fronting Exposure arising from that Defaulting Lender and (B) not be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender, in each case, during such period that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive fees in respect of Letters of Credit as provided in Section 3.3(a).

(iii) Reallocation of Revolving Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans pursuant to Sections 2.5 and 3.4, the “Revolving Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of that Defaulting Lender (but subject to the other limitations contained in the definition of Revolving Percentage relating to Later Expiring Letters of Credit); provided, that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans of that Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender no longer falls under the definition of Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the Revolving Lenders, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.21(a)(iii) but giving effect to the other limitations set forth in the definition of Revolving Percentage relating to Later Expiring Letters of Credit), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Xxxxxx was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.22. Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, as applicable,

-54-

and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.7 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.7 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation (if any) to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.7.

SECTION 3 LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1. L/C Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during a Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, (ii) unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Lender, have a face amount of at least $5,000 and (iii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the then latest Revolving Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above). Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be issued pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) on the Restatement Effective Date (and for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender with a Non-Revolving Commitment, in its capacity as such, shall be deemed to have any participating interest in any Existing Letter of Credit from and after the Restatement Effective Date).

(b) No Issuing Lender shall be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if:

(i) such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law; or

(ii) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including, if requested, the delivery of Cash Collateral, reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.21(a)(iii)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

3.2. Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that any Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the relevant Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor

-55-

and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and the Borrower. The relevant Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

3.3. Fees and Other Charges.

(a) The Borrower will pay a fee for the benefit of each Revolving Lender on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender and (ii) such Revolving Lender’s daily Revolving Percentage of the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letters of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, any such fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 3 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Revolving Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Revolving Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.21(a)(iii), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Issuing Lender for its own account. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit at a per annum rate of 0.125% or a lower rate separately agreed between the Borrower and such Issuing Lender on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the relevant issuance date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by it.

3.4. L/C Participations.

(a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lenders to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by it hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent upon demand an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to make such payment to such Issuing Lender as contemplated by this Section 3.4(a), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or

-56-

condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such payment by any L/C Participant shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Commitments of such Lender. A certificate of the relevant Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after the relevant Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment through the Administrative Agent related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will distribute to each such Issuing Lender will distribute to each L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

3.5. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the day that the Borrower receives notice of payment of such draft. Each such payment shall be made to the relevant Issuing Lender in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this Section from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) (or from the date the relevant draft is paid, if notice thereof is received by the Borrower prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such date) until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.12(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.12(c).

3.6. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender and L/C Participant that no Issuing Lender or L/C Participant shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or

-57-

genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the New York UCC, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of any Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

3.7. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of each Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.8. Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender (i) if an Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a Reimbursement Obligation, or (ii) if, as of the date the Total Revolving Commitment has terminated, any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, promptly but in any event within two Business Days of demand, Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all Letters of Credit and Reimbursement Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, forthwith upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.21(a)(iii) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate outstanding of obligations required to be Cash Collateralized, the Borrower will, promptly but in any event within two Business Days of demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate amount required to be Cash Collateralized over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grant to (and subject to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as

-58-

collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to clause (c) below.

(c) Application.

It is understood that this paragraph does not apply to any cross-default, cross-acceleration or similar provision in any Indebtedness other than Indebtedness of any Qualified Parent Company.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, solely for the purpose of determining whether a Default has occurred under clause (g) above, any reference in such clause to any Subsidiary shall be deemed not to include any Subsidiary that is an Immaterial Subsidiary or at such time could, upon designation by the Borrower, become an Immaterial Subsidiary affected by any event or circumstances referred to in such clause unless the gross revenues of such Subsidiary together with the gross revenues of all other Subsidiaries affected by such event or circumstance referred to in such clause for the period of four fiscal quarters ending on the date of the most recent balance sheet of the Borrower delivered pursuant to

-88-

Section 6.1(a) or (b) shall exceed 5% of the gross revenues of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, in each case determined in accordance with GAAP.

SECTION 9 THE AGENTS

9.1. Appointment.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a party to a Specified Hedge Agreement or Specified Cash Management Agreement) and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.2 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 9 and Section 10 (including Section 9.7, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

9.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

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

-89-

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.1 and Section 8) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Lender.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

9.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

-90-

9.5. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, Holdings or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

9.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, each in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Holdings or the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Holdings or the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,

-91-

penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

9.9. Successor Administrative Agent. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and a successor agent who is a Revolving Lender may, in their sole discretion at any time, agree that such successor agent shall replace the outgoing administrative Agent as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In addition, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion resign as Administrative Agent at any time upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(g) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Xxxxxxx appoint a successor agent as provided for above (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed). After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder shall at all times constitute the “First Lien Representative” as defined in and for purposes of the Senior Notes Intercreditor Agreement and the Holdings Intercreditor Agreement.

Any resignation by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Swingline Lender, (ii) the retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx shall issue new letters of credit either (x) in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by the retiring Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx or (y) to

-92-

backstop such Letters of Credit, in each case, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

9.10. Agents. Each of the Agents (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have no duties or responsibilities hereunder in their capacity as such.

9.11. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a party to a Specified Cash Management Agreement or a Specified Hedge Agreement) and the Issuing Lender irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release Liens on the Collateral and/or Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement under the circumstances described in Section 9.15 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

9.12. Specified Cash Management Agreements and Specified Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, no party to a Specified Cash Management Agreement or Specified Hedge Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, obligations arising under Specified Cash Management Agreements and Specified Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable party thereto.

-97-

(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to (I) a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below), other than in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment, or (II) if an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or (g) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person;

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(A) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Xxxxxx’s Revolving Commitments or Loans of any Class, (x) the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date such Assignment and Assumption is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of the Revolving Facility ($1,000,000 if the Assignee is a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) or, $1,000,000 in the case of Term Loans of any Class ($250,000 if the Assignee is a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) and (y) the Aggregate Exposure of such assigning Lender shall not fall below $3,000,000 in the case of the Revolving Facility ($1,000,000 if the Assignee is a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) or $1,000,000 in the case of in the case of Term Loans of any Class ($250,000 if the Assignee is a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund), unless, in each case, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or (g) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion);

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws;

(D) Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (D) shall not (x) apply to the Swingline Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swingline Loans, (y) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a

-98-

portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes on a non-pro rata basis or (C) prohibit any Revolving Lender from assigning all or portion of its Revolving Commitments with a given Revolving Termination Date (and a proportionate amount of all Revolving Credit Extensions thereunder) separately from its Revolving Commitments with a different Revolving Termination Date; and

(E) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage in each of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations 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 Lender 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.

-99-

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural person) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 10.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.17(d).

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

(e) The Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole expense, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6(b). Each of Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar

-100-

law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Xxxxxx hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

10.7. Adjustments; Setoff.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders of a particular Class, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the amounts owing to it hereunder, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(e), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the amounts owing to such other Lender hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the amounts owing to each such other Lender hereunder, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Holdings or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Holdings and the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Holdings or the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

10.9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

-101-

10.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of Holdings, the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

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

10.13. Acknowledgments.

Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) neither any Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to Holdings or the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Agents and Lenders, on one hand, and Holdings and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and
